Novel Bio-Imaging Techniques Based on Molecular Switching

description: Fluorescence microscopy has been a fundamental imaging tool for life science research. Fluorescence basically involves only two molecular states: the ground molecular state and the first singlet excited state (the fluorescent state). Astonishingly, it greatly diversified the applicability of fluorescence microscopy in many different ways by incorporating additional molecular states and switching fluorescent molecules through these three or even more molecular states during the fluorescence process. This switching mechanism between additional molecular states, either long lifetime or short lifetime, and two original molecular states actually adds nonlinearity into the linear fluorescence process, which empowers fluorescence microscopy additional imaging capabilities. Herein, we developed four distinct new imaging techniques by taking advantage of this molecular switching mechanism: dark state dynamics sensing and imaging by fluorescence anomalous phase advance, genetically-encoded microviscosity sensor using protein-flexibility mediated photochromism, deep tissue imaging with super-nonlinear fluorescence microscopy, and light-driven fluorescent timer for simultaneous spatial-temporal mapping of protein dynamics in live cells.

The first technique, dark state dynamics sensing and imaging, effectively correlates the first triplet state of fluorescent organic dyes with the fluorescence process to produce fluorescence emission with unexpected phase advance compared with the excitation light, that reflects the real-time information of organic dyes' dark states. The last three techniques all harness the unique on-off switch capability of the optical highlighter fluorescent proteins: Dronpa, a photo-switchable fluorescent protein,  is demonstrated to experience medium friction during the chromophore's cis-trans isomerization process while photo-switching from the bright state to the dark state; multiphoton fluorescence microscope could achieve higher order nonlinearity and thus deeper image depth in the scattering sample by the population transfer kinetics of the photoinduced molecular switches, such as photo-activatable fluorescent protein etc.; a photo-convertible fluorescent protein, mEos2, shows slow color conversion from green to red under extremely weak near-UV light, that could be used to time protein age. No matter fluorescent organic dyes or optical highlighter fluorescent proteins, the nonlinearity has been demonstrated to create new fluorescence imaging techniques by switching fluorescent molecules between additional molecular states and two original molecular states involved in the fluorescence process.
Chaotic eigenfunctions in phase space

description: We study individual eigenstates of quantized area-preserving maps on the 2-torus which are classically chaotic. In order to analyze their semiclassical behavior, we use the Bargmann-Husimi representations for quantum states, as well as their stellar parametrization, which encodes states through a minimal set of points in phase space (the constellation of zeros of the Husimi density). We rigorously prove that a semiclassical uniform distribution of Husimi densities on the torus entails a similar equidistribution for the corresponding constellations. We deduce from this property a universal behavior for the phase patterns of chaotic Bargmann eigenfunctions, which reminds of the WKB approximation for eigenstates of integrable systems (though in a weaker sense). In order to obtain more precise information on ``chaotic eigenconstellations", we then model their properties by ensembles of random states, generalizing former results on the 2-sphere to the torus geometry. This approach yields statistical predictions for the constellations, which fit quite well the chaotic data. We finally observe that specific dynamical information, e.g. the presence of high peaks (like scars) in Husimi densities, can be recovered from the knowledge of a few long-wavelength Fourier coefficients, which therefore appear as valuable order parameters at the level of individual chaotic eigenfunctions.

description: We review our recent result on the rigorous derivation of the renormalized Gibbs measure from the many-body Gibbs state in 1D and 2D. The many-body renormalization is accomplished by simply tuning the chemical potential in the grand-canonical ensemble, which is analogous to the Wick ordering in the classical field theory.

description: We investigate the classical moduli space of D-branes on a nonabelian Calabi-Yau threefold singularity and find that it admits topology-changing transitions. We construct a general formalism of worldvolume field theories in the language of quivers and give a procedure for computing the enlarged Kahler cone of the moduli space. The topology changing transitions achieved by varying the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameters correspond to changes of linearization of a geometric invariant theory quotient and can be studied by methods of algebraic geometry. Quite surprisingly, the structure of the enlarged Kahler cone can be computed by toric methods. By using this approach, we give a detailed discussion of two low-rank examples.

Spatial memory and taxis-driven pattern formation in model ecosystems

description: Mathematical models of spatial population dynamics typically focus on the interplay between dispersal events and birth/death processes. However, for many animal communities, significant arrangement in space can occur on shorter timescales, where births and deaths are negligible. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in populations of larger, vertebrate animals who often reproduce only once per year or less. To understand spatial arrangements of animal communities on such timescales, we use a class of diffusion-taxis equations for modelling inter-population movement responses between $N \geq 2$ populations. These systems of equations incorporate the effect on animal movement of both the current presence of other populations and the memory of past presence encoded either in the environment or in the minds of animals. We give general criteria for the spontaneous formation of both stationary and oscillatory patterns, via linear pattern formation analysis. For $N=2$, we classify completely the pattern formation properties using a combination of linear analysis and non-linear energy functionals. In this case, the only patterns that can occur asymptotically in time are stationary. However, for $N \geq 3$, oscillatory patterns can occur asymptotically, giving rise to a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations leading to patterns with no obvious regularity, a hallmark of chaos. Our study highlights the importance of understanding between-population animal movement for understanding spatial species distributions, something that is typically ignored in species distribution modelling, and so develops a new paradigm for spatial population dynamics.

Trout Lake molybdenum property reclamation case study
Creators: name: Pelletier, Clem
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Rescan Environmental Services Ltd. provided environmental science and engineering solutions for the Trout Lake Molybdenum Reclamation Project for Newmont Exploration Canada Ltd. (Newmont).During the late 70s, Newmont and Esso Minerals Ltd. (with Newmont as operator), conducted exploration for molybdenum. A large exploration drilling program identified a significant molybdenum ore zone at depth which appeared amenable to underground development. In 1982 when molybdenum prices collapsed, Newmont stopped work at the site. The portal was closed off and well secured in compliance with the Mines Act requirements. In 1997, Newmont’s land group inadvertently allowed the claims to lapse and a local prospector picked up the property. Newmont remained responsible for the clean-up of the property under the Reclamation Permit and as such, the BC Ministry of Energy & Mines contacted Newmont. Newmont spent over $500,000 to clean-up the site to a level where they were indemnified of any further claims under Reclamation Permit #MX-5-55. This paper will provide an insight into the novel work completed in order to indemnify Newmont of any further claims from Trout Lake property. This project involved: • Licensing and permitting issues to carry out closure • An analysis of a novel approach to controlling metal leaching and acid rock drainage • Control drainage from an underground adit • Hydrocarbon contamination clean-up • Removal and disposal of machinery and infrastructure: what were the challenges? • Issues with wildlife (beavers) • Working in extreme forest fire hazard conditions and • Operational and safety requirements working with a major mining company. In recognition of outstanding reclamation achievement, Newmont was awarded the 2004 Citation from the Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation, Mining Association of BC, and Ministry of Energy and Mines, for the Trout Lake Molybdenum Project in the Mineral Exploration Category.

Rhythm for Situational Contexts: The Case of Ancient Greek Epic Performance
Creators: name: Blankenborg, Ronald
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2017

description: In this article1 I will discuss rhythm’s contribution to the performance of ancient Greek epic like Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey in terms of phonostylistics, the branch of phonetics that studies the use of phonetic means which are restricted to specific contexts. Hartmann and Storck (1972: 175) aptly define phonostylistics as “that branch of stylistics which investigates the expressive function of sounds”. I will apply observations from recent studies on phonostylistics in order to account for the rhythmical effect of the so-called heroic meter. It will be my aim to classify the rhythm of the dactylic hexameter as a function: a deliberate influence on stylistic variation. As such, rhythm may be compared to other stylistic functions like the tempo of speech. The rhythm of heroic meter is a conscious deviation from everyday unplanned spoken language. Its appliance creates a ‘situational context’, i.e. a particular linguistic environment that is conditioned by a fixed set of extra-linguistic factors: in this case, the performative environment. My perspective on the performance of ancient Greek epic will be limited, though, to this single aspect of prosody, rhythm, with only little regard for other issues such as the how and when of performance. Contemporary durational performances of the Homeric epic provide an intuition for epic performance as a particular linguistic environment. In this contribution, I will first discuss the prosody of ancient Greek epic performance with a focus on rhythm. In subsequent sections, I will analyse the performance of ancient Greek epic as a situational context under the influence of the rhythm of heroic meter: this phonetic feature is restricted to the context of epic performance. In the final section of this article, I will pay special attention to the way modern audiences perceive the ‘otherness’ and the repetitiveness of heroic rhythm.

A Momaria and a Baptism: A Note on Beginning and Ending in the Globe Merchant of Venice (2015)
Creators: name: Mullini, Roberta
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2018

description: The New Globe 2015 performance of The Merchant of Venice made a very dark comedy of a so called ‘romantic’ one. Not only is Shylock shown as a victim of Venetian anti-Semitism from the very beginning, but he also turns out as a pitiful – and deeply pitied – character because of the addition to the end of the play created by the director Jonathan Munby. The article, after summarising the role of the initial and final phases of dramatic texts, discusses the beginning and ending added by Munby, also through some reviewers’ responses to the production both in London and in the USA. It then articulates its own standpoint claiming that the additions made by the director to the original text, while legitimate as artistic objects and directorial choices, diminish the play’s complexity and constitute sort of performative paratext to the play. (The research is based on the “Globe on Screen” DVD version of the play).

The Duchess of Malfi: When a Woman-Prince Can Talk
Creators: name: Mucci, Clara
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2018

description: The Duchess of Malfi (1623) by John Webster presents the case of a woman-prince, an “anomaly in the symbolic and political structure” of early seventeenth-century England, who is endowed with powerful language and therefore directs the action of the play and her consequent persecution. Her ambivalent position bears resemblance to the case of Elizabeth I and her threatening symbolic position, since her body politic is male and her body natural is female, with all the contradictions of the construction of the feminine in Early Modern Europe. What is most threatening in Webster’s representation is the duchess’ ability with language (see the wooing scene among the others) so that she is viewed as a dangerous subject to be kept under strict control by the males of the family. As an heiress, she detains a power which is in contrast with a sex that should be weak, dominated and subservient. The play constructs masculinity as rationality and order and femininity as passion and disorder or corruption. In this way the duchess' behavior becomes in turn a clear metaphor of a Court and a State viewed in decay and increasingly corrupted and ill. The metaphorical pattern created around the body-language of the duchess is that of a femininity that is diseased, corrupted, immoral and decayed, retaining a witch-like status and a devilish body position. The corruption of the court is equated with the corruption of the woman-prince whose power is exceeding and dangerous. In a matter of years, in the real scene of England the disruption of order will be total, with the assassination of the King and the following Civil War. The theatres themselves will be closed and the threat posited by “woman” culturally represented, as the cause of all evils in the patriarchal restoration in search of definite identity will see the final act of the persecution of women as witches and whores.

description: The Pelhams of Stanmer redeveloped the site of an earlier house into a fashionable Georgian country villa and then developed a substantial park to surround it. By 1800, the ambitions of Thomas Pelham II and Ann (née Frankland) his wife had pushed the family into debt. The main part of the 1720s house, the 1770s stables and lodges of the 1770s survive, so does the outline of some of the planting by the Georgian Pelhams. The article is a study of the development of the house and grounds by the Pelham family set into the broader context of their wider ambitions and their expenditure in order to meet them.

description: We announce the discovery of KELT-23Ab, a hot Jupiter transiting the relatively bright ($V=10.3$) star BD+66 911 (TYC 4187-996-1), and characterize the system using follow-up photometry and spectroscopy. A global fit to the system yields host-star properties of $T_{eff}=5900\pm49 K$, $M_*=0.945^{+0.060}_{-0.054} M_{\odot}$, $R_*=0.995\pm0.015 R_{\odot}$, $L_*=1.082^{+0.051}_{-0.048} L_{\odot}$, log$g_{*}=4.418^{+0.026}_{-0.025}$ (cgs), and $\left[{\rm Fe}/{\rm H}\right]=-0.105\pm0.077$. KELT-23Ab is a hot Jupiter with mass $M_P=0.938^{+0.045}_{-0.042} M_{\rm J}$, radius $R_P=1.322\pm0.025 R_{\rm J}$, and density $ρ_P=0.504^{+0.038}_{-0.035}$ g cm$^{-3}$. Intense insolation flux from the star has likely caused KELT-23Ab to become inflated. The time of inferior conjunction is $T_0=2458149.40776\pm0.00091~\rm {BJD_{TDB}}$ and the orbital period is $P=2.255353^{+0.000031}_{-0.000030}$ days. There is strong evidence that KELT-23A is a member of a long-period binary star system with a less luminous companion, and due to tidal interactions, the planet is likely to spiral into its host within roughly a Gyr. This system has one of the highest positive ecliptic latitudes of all transiting planet hosts known to date, placing it near the Transiting Planet Survey Satellite and James Webb Space Telescope continuous viewing zones. Thus we expect it to be an excellent candidate for long-term monitoring and follow-up with these facilities.

description: Faced with dwindling revenues from taxation of a contracting economy during the late 16th and early 17 centuries, the search for means to bolster corporate income was never far from the minds of Rye's early Stuart governors . Examination of the fiscal policies pursued at Rye between 1600 and 1640 shows a corporation sensitive of the need to avoid placing additional burdens on already hard-pressed sectors of the economy, and nervous of the impact of general tax levies. But it also reveals the corporation 's ability to exploit and increasing dependence on - the revenue potential of the drink trade, and its willingness to deploy the machinery of the courts as a means of taxing illicit trading activities and a range of minor infringements of the law.

description: The properties of diffusion processes are drastically affected by heterogeneities of the medium that can induce non-Gaussian behavior of the propagator in contrast with the idealized realm of Brownian motion. In this paper we analyze the diffusion propagator when distinct origins of heterogeneity (e.g. time-fractional diffusion, diffusing diffusivity, distributed diffusivity across a population) are combined. These combinations allow one to describe new classes of strongly heterogeneous processes relevant to biology. Based on a combined subordination technique, we obtain the exact propagator for different instructive examples. This approach is then used to calculate analytically the first-passage time statistics (on half-real line and in any bounded domain) for a particle undergoing non-Gaussian diffusion of mixed origins.

description: Recent studies of pairing and charge order in materials such as FeSe, SrTiO$_3$, and 2H-NbSe$_2$ have suggested that momentum dependence of the electron-phonon coupling plays an important role in their properties. Initial attempts to study Hamiltonians which either do not include or else truncate the range of Coulomb repulsion have noted that the resulting spatial non-locality of the electron-phonon interaction leads to a dominant tendency to phase separation. Here we present Quantum Monte Carlo results for such models in which we incorporate both on-site and intersite electron-electron interactions. We show that these can stabilize phases in which the density is homogeneous and determine the associated phase boundaries. As a consequence, the physics of momentum dependent electron-phonon coupling can be determined outside of the trivial phase separated regime.

description: DNA sequencing is a fundamental tool in biological and medical research. DNA molecules contain the heritable genetic information in all living organisms and encode all the proteins in our body. Therefore, determination of DNA sequence is useful in basic biological research, evolutionary biology, as well as the applied biological fields, such as diagnostic or forensic research. High-throughput DNA sequencing is essential for personalized medicine. To achieve this dream, the price of genome sequencing should be dramatically decreased to a level that most people can afford. Despite the refinements of Sanger sequencing, the current genome sequencing cost remains formidable. Therefore, revolutionary advances in DNA sequencing technology are demanded. To overcome the limitations of the current sequencing technologies, a variety of new DNA sequencing methods have been investigated with the aim of eventually realizing the goal of the $1,000 genome, including sequencing by synthesis (SBS). In this thesis, we build upon current state-of-the-art sequencing technologies such as SBS to develop novel proof-of-principle technologies for high-throughput DNA sequencing; demonstrate a general platform for high sensitivity biomolecular detection; and briefly study DNA processing protein (e.g., helicase) functions at the atomistic level. The following is a summary of the resulting work presented herein: first, a new DNA sequencing technology development is presented that utilizes surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS); second, a novel approach of SERS-based biosensing for quantitative detection of biomolecules is demonstrated; third, a rigorous mathematical development of an analytical model is described to predict experimental SERS signal intensity distributions for biomolecular quantification; fourth, a versatile SERS-based quantitative method is developed to monitor the catalyst-free click reaction efficiency for small molecule conjugation; fifth, theoretical work using molecular dynamics simulations for analyzing the mechanical behavior of a molecular motor involved in DNA processing are described; and finally, the thesis presents a proposed nanodevice to combine the SERS-SBS technology with our bioquantification method into one functional unit. Consequently, these research efforts provide a foundation for the novel use and integration of SERS-SBS into microfluidic systems for a wide range of applications, such as high-throughput DNA sequencing and genetic diagnostics, as well as the theoretical framework to investigate DNA polymerase function at the atomic level.

description: “Novel Conversations” examines how and why eighteenth-century novelists came to represent people interacting in ways that registered as lively and real. Speech had long been crucial in literary genres as varied as drama, philosophical dialogue, romance and narrative poetry; but techniques for representing speech would proliferate in the eighteenth century as writers gave conversation a new centrality in the novel, seeking to capture the manner of speech over and above its basic matter. “Novel Conversations” explores this literary-historical development with chapters on four writers who were especially interested in the technical challenge of recording vocal effects: Samuel Richardson, James Boswell, Frances Burney and Jane Austen. They developed a set of tools for rendering in prose the auditory and social nuances of conversation, including tone and emphasis, pacing and pausing, gesture and movement. I argue that their experiments resulted in a new “transcriptional realism” in the novel. This term describes the range of techniques used to craft dialogue that faithfully approximates the features of real speech, while remaining meaningful and effectual as an element of prose narrative.
      In developing methods to this end, eighteenth-century writers borrowed techniques from other genres, combined them, and invented new ones. One rich source was life writing, the broad category of documentary prose genres that both absorbed and influenced the novel form in its early stages. Writers also sought complementary techniques in drama, whose stage directions, tonal notations and cues about who is speaking to whom at what point in time could be readily adapted for prose narrative. The task at hand was to calibrate two often opposing styles: the empirically driven, transcriptional mode of life writing and the more overtly stylized mode of drama. Writers did so by developing two resources within the novel form: the narrator, who occupies a flexible platform from which to elaborate conversational dynamics with description; and print itself, with all of its graphic and spatial possibilities for shaping speech on the page, including accidentals, line breaks, and typography. What are in one sense formalist readings are complemented by a careful attention to the materiality of the manuscript page and the printed page. In approaching my primary authors’ texts from a technical perspective, I do justice to their experimental efforts to use writing as a technology for capturing voice: a recording device avant la lettre. This approach in turn gives me critical purchase to analyze the effect that this technology serves: detailed representations of characters operating in a lively, familiar social world.

Semiclassical limit of universal parametric density correlations

description: Reviewing the semiclassical theory for the parametric level density fluctuations, we show that for large parametric changes the density correlation function, after rescaling, becomes universal and coincides with the leading asymptotic term obtained from Random Matrix Theory. The advantage of the semiclassical approach is to provide a simple recipe for the calculation of the non-universal scaling parameter from elements of the underlying classical dynamics specific to the system. We discuss recent improvements of the theory, which introduce a requantization of the smoothed level density.

Negative Magnetoresistance in Granular Bi - HTSC with Trapped Magnetic Fields
Creators: name: Sukhanov, A. A.

description: Magnetoresistive properties of granular Bi-based HTSC with trapped magnetic fields are investigated in the temperature region near superconducting transition . The effect of trapped field and transport current values and orientations on the field dependence of magnetoresistance is studied. It is found that for the magnetic field parallel and the current perpendicular to trapping inducing field the field dependence of magnetoresistance is nonmonotonic and magnetoresistance turns out to be negative for small fields. The magnetoresistance sign inversion field increases roughly linear with the trapped magnetic field and slightly decrease with transport current. The results are explained in the framework of model of magnetic flux trapping in granules or superconducting loops embedded in weak links matrix.

SNIP Mine : seven years after closure
Creators: name: Sibbick, S. J.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Closure of the Snip Mine was successfully completed in 1999. Portals into the lower underground workings were sealed with water tight plugs while the upper mine openings were sealed with plugs designed to minimize airflow into the mine. The lower third of the mine was allowed to flood naturally. Discharge from the mine flows through a short channel into the upstream end of the adjacent tailings impoundment. Tailings in the impoundment were regraded and covered with a layer of inert waste rock. A spillway was constructed that allows for limited ponding within the impoundment and maintains a saturated condition within the tailings. Regular inspections of the mine facilities and ongoing field monitoring have occurred since closure. Monitoring of 13 humidity cells representing tailings, backfill and waste rock materials has continued since 1998. Discharges from the tailings impoundment into the receiving environment have maintained concentrations below the acceptable water quality criteria for the site. Discharges from the underground workings are slightly elevated for a few metals in comparison to the receiving environment criteria. However, these concentrations are mitigated by the tailings impoundment, which acts to reduce the metals load. Monitoring results over the last 7 years indicate that discharge water quality from the site to the receiving environment will continue in its current state.

Ambipolar diffusion in large Prandtl number turbulence
Creators: name: Brandenburg, Axel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the effects of ambipolar diffusion (AD) on hydromagnetic turbulence. In most of the cases, we use the single fluid approximation where the drift velocity between charged and neutral particles is proportional to the Lorentz force. In two cases we also compare with the corresponding two-fluid model, where ionization and recombination are included in the continuity and momentum equations for the neutral and charged species. We consider the regime of large magnetic Prandtl number, relevant to the interstellar medium. The magnetic field properties are found to be well represented by the single fluid approximation. We quantify the effects of AD on total and spectral kinetic and magnetic energies, the Ohmic and AD dissipation rates, the statistics of the magnetic field, the current density, and the linear polarization as measured by the rotationally invariant E and B mode polarizations. We show that the kurtosis of the magnetic field decreases with increasing AD. The E mode polarization changes its skewness from positive values for small AD to negative ones for large AD. Even when AD is weak, changes in AD have a marked effect on the skewness and kurtosis of E, and only a weak effect on those of B. These results open the possibility of employing E and B mode polarizations as diagnostic tools for characterizing turbulent properties of the interstellar medium.

Electron-hole imbalance in superconductor-normal metal mesoscopic structures

description: We analysed the electron-hole or, in another words, branch imbalance (BI) and the related electric potential $V_{imb}$ which may arise in a mesoscopic superconductor/normal metal (S/N) structure under non-equilibrium conditions in the presence of a supercurrent. Non-equilibrium conditions can be created in different ways: a) a quasiparticle current flowing between the N reservoirs; b) a temperature gradient between the N reservoirs and no quasiparticle current. It is shown that the voltage $V_{imb}$ oscillates with the phase difference $ϕ$. In a cross-geometry structure the voltage $V_{imb}$ arises in the vertical branch and affects the conditions for a transition into the $π$-state.
