Evaluation of hyperbranched polyglycerol as a novel osmotic agent for use in peritoneal dialysis.
Creators: name: Mendelson, Asher Aron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is an effective method of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. PD solution is instilled into the peritoneal cavity and water, solutes, and waste products are removed across the peritoneal membrane, which serves as a natural filter between the peritoneal cavity and the bloodstream. The current conventional PD solution uses hypertonic glucose as an osmotic agent to remove water – a process termed ultrafiltration (UF). Although effective, chronic daily exposure to glucose causes systemic metabolic complications for PD patients; it also directly damages the peritoneal membrane and eventually causes the filter to fail. Hyperbranched Polyglycerol (HPG) is a non-toxic, non-immunogenic synthetic polymer that contains no starch or glucose. HPG has shown very limited organ accumulation after intravenous injection. HPG offers many theoretical advantages over glucose-based PD including the ability to synthesize HPG over a range of molecular weights. This current thesis tests HPG as a glucose-sparing osmotic agent in PD solution. We used a rodent model of PD to evaluate solute and waste removal, ultrafiltration, and peritoneal biocompatibility over 0-8 hours of peritoneal exposure. We compared HPG solutions of molecular weights 0.5, 1, and 3 kDa with conventional glucose-based solution (Dianeal™ 2.5%) and buffered glucose-based solution (Physioneal™ 2.27%). We demonstrated that HPG solutions can induce superior and sustained UF for 8 hours, in contrast to glucose-based solutions that lose UF capacity after 4 hours. Sodium and urea removal was superior for HPG solutions, in part because HPG polymer acts as a colloid - as opposed to crystalloid - osmotic agent. We used neutrophil infiltration and peritoneal mesothelial cell detachment as markers of biocompatibility. We found that HPG solutions, particularly lower molecular weight polymers, demonstrate superior biocompatibility profiles when compared to glucose-based PD solutions. Taken together, these experiments support the proof-of concept of HPG as a promising novel osmotic agent in PD. Future studies are required to investigate the chronic effects of HPG exposure on the peritoneal membrane, as well as the metabolic and pharmacokinetic profiles of HPG PD solutions.

description: In the paper, we present a new general function photonic crystals (GFPCs), which refractive index of medium is a arbitrary function of space position. Unlike conventional photonic crystals (PCs), which structure grow from two mediums $A$ and $B$, with different constant refractive indexes $n_{a}$ and $n_{b}$. Based on Fermat principle, we give the motion equations of light in one-dimensional GFPCs, and calculate its transfer matrix, which is different from the conventional PCs. We choose the linearity refractive index function for two mediums $A$ and $B$, and find the transmissivity of one-dimensional GFPCs can be much larger or smaller than 1 for different slope linearity refractive index function, which is different from the transmissivity of conventional PCs (its transmissivity is in the range of 0 and 1). Otherwise, we study the effect of different incident angles, the number of periods and optical thickness on the transmissivity, and obtain some new results different from the conventional PCs.

Year: 1869

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Impaired attentional processing as a risk factor for falls in older adults
Creators: name: Nagamatsu, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Falls are a leading health care issue in our rapidly aging society. While impaired cognitive functioning has previously been linked to falls, my dissertation aims to understand the specific relationship between attentional processing and falls/falls risk. My dissertation is comprised of four separate studies, each examining a specific facet of attention and its corresponding association with falls. The specific domains of attention that I examine include: 1. Visual-spatial attention in the context of task-irrelevant peripheral stimuli; 2. Dual-task ability under cognitive load using a virtual reality system intended to simulate real-world experiences; 3. Time spent engaged in task-unrelated thoughts (i.e., mind-wandering); and 4. The neural correlates that subserve selective attention and executive control. Using multi-modal measures, including event-related potentials, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and behavioural performance, my research examines how each area of attention is impaired as a function of falls history and/or physiological falls risk. Based on the attentional resource model, my research converges on the notion that falls risk is associated with a reduction in the level of available attentional resources, in addition to an impaired ability to appropriately allocate resources to the primary task. Importantly, such deficits in attentional processing may contribute to postural instability, given that the control of balance and posture require a greater proportion of cognitive resources with age. Taken together, these findings have critical implications for developing novel intervention strategies aimed towards improving quality of life and independence among older adults.

description: We present the results of a search for the most luminous star-forming galaxies at redshifts z~6 based on CFHT Legacy Survey data. We identify a sample of 40 Lyman break galaxies brighter than magnitude z'=25.3 across an area of almost 4 square degrees. Sensitive spectroscopic observations of seven galaxies provide redshifts for four, of which only two have moderate to strong Lyman alpha emission lines. All four have clear continuum breaks in their spectra. Approximately half of the Lyman break galaxies are spatially resolved in 0.7 arcsec seeing images, indicating larger sizes than lower luminosity galaxies discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope, possibly due to on-going mergers. The stacked optical and infrared photometry is consistent with a galaxy model with stellar mass ~ 10^{10} solar masses. There is strong evidence for substantial dust reddening with a best-fit A_V=0.7 and A_V>0.48 at 2 sigma confidence, in contrast to the typical dust-free galaxies of lower luminosity at this epoch. The spatial extent and spectral energy distribution suggest that the most luminous z~6 galaxies are undergoing merger-induced starbursts. The luminosity function of z=5.9 star-forming galaxies is derived. This agrees well with previous work and shows strong evidence for an exponential decline at the bright end, indicating that the feedback processes which govern the shape of the bright end are occurring effectively at this epoch.

description: We report a microscopic derivation of two-component Ginzburg-Landau (GL) field theory and the conditions of its validity in two-band superconductors. We also investigate the conditions when microscopically derived or phenomenological GL models fail and one should resort to a microscopic description. We show that besides being directly applicable at elevated temperatures, a version of a minimal two-component GL theory in certain cases also gives accurate description of certain aspects of a two-band system even substantially far from $T_c$. This shows that two-component GL model can be used for addressing a wide range of questions in multiband systems, in particular vortex physics and magnetic response. We also argue that single Ginzburg-Landau parameter cannot in general characterize magnetic response of multiband systems.

description: A glass ultrahigh vacuum chamber with rubidium alkali metal dispensers and non-evaporable getter pumps has been developed and used to create a cold atomic sample in a chamber that operates with only passive vacuum pumps. The ion-mass spectrum of evaporated gases from the alkali metal dispenser has been recorded as a function of dispenser current. The efficacy of the non-evaporable getter pumps in promoting and maintaining vacuum has been characterized by observation of the Rb vapor optical absorption on the D2 transition at 780 nm and vacuum chamber pressure rate of rise tests. We have demonstrated a sample of laser-cooled Rb atoms in this chamber when isolated and operating without active vacuum pumps.

Towards a formal description of the collapse approach to the inflationary origin of the seeds of cosmic structure

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Inflation plays a central role in our current understanding of the universe. According to the standard viewpoint, the homogeneous and isotropic mode of the inflaton field drove an early phase of nearly exponential expansion of the universe, while the quantum fluctuations (uncertainties) of the other modes gave rise to the seeds of cosmic structure. However, if we accept that the accelerated expansion led the universe into an essentially homogeneous and isotropic space-time, with the state of all the matter fields in their vacuum (except for the zero mode of the inflaton field), we can not escape the conclusion that the state of the universe as a whole would remain always homogeneous and isotropic. It was recently proposed in [A. Perez, H. Sahlmann and D. Sudarsky, "On the quantum origin of the seeds of cosmic structure," Class. Quant. Grav. 23, 2317-2354 (2006)] that a collapse (representing physics beyond the established paradigm, and presumably associated with a quantum-gravity effect a la Penrose) of the state function of the inflaton field might be the missing element, and thus would be responsible for the emergence of the primordial inhomogeneities. Here we will discuss a formalism that relies strongly on quantum field theory on curved space-times, and within which we can implement a detailed description of such a process. The picture that emerges clarifies many aspects of the problem, and is conceptually quite transparent. Nonetheless, we will find that the results lead us to argue that the resulting picture is not fully compatible with a purely geometric description of space-time.

description: A practical approach to optimal design of multichannel oversampled warped cosine-modulated filter banks (CMFB) is proposed. Warped CMFB is obtained by allpass transformation of uniform CMFB. The paper addresses the problems of minimization amplitude distortion and suppression of aliasing components emerged due to oversampling of filter bank channel signals. Proposed optimization-based design considerably reduces distortions of overall filter bank transfer function taking into account channel subsampling ratios. Matlab-implementation of the proposed warped CMFB design method is available in public GitHub repository.

Cryopreservation and transplantation of gonadal tissue for genetic conservation and biological research in avian species
Creators: name: Liu, Jianan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Avian researchers and the poultry industry have experienced a massive loss of genetic resources due to the high cost of maintaining live flocks. Cryobanking of germplasm is economical and ensures long-term availability of genetic resources. Cryopreservation and transplantation of avian gonadal tissue allow effective preservation and recovery of female germplasm and provide an alternative to semen cryobanking. A vitrification protocol including dimethyl sulphoxide, ethylene glycol and sucrose as cryoprotective agents and the use of acupuncture needles to facilitate tissue handling has been successful in preserving Japanese quail ovarian tissue. Its effectiveness in preserving testicular tissue is unknown and an efficient storage system is needed. The vitrification protocol was first adapted to a 0.5-ml straw system and used to cryopreserve quail ovarian tissue, which showed no significant impairment of viability or vascularization compared to fresh tissue after in ovo culture. This system was then replaced by a simpler 2-ml straw system and applied to quail testicular and ovarian tissue. Normal morphology of testicular tissue was observed after in ovo culture and live offspring were produced by intramagnal insemination of the extrusion retrieved from allotransplants of cryopreserved testicular tissue. Donor-derived offspring were also efficiently produced from cryopreserved and allotransplanted ovarian tissue. Gonadal transplantation is critical to functional recovery of cryopreserved tissue but can be limited by tissue rejection. Donor thymic tissue was implanted into recipient embryos and gonadal tissue from the same donor was transplanted ectopically to the recipient after hatching. Transplant viability and histology was examined. Thymic implantation may improve survival of the allogeneic gonadal transplants in chickens but not the xenotransplants from quail to chickens. Investigations of avian ovarian transplantation have led to intriguing additional observations. Donor-derived offspring were produced from transplanted adult quail ovarian tissue, although delayed age at first egg and reduced reproductive longevity were observed with the transplants. As well, offspring with chimeric plumage coloration were produced from cryopreserved and transplanted chicken ovarian tissue, indicating chimeric folliculogenesis. This dissertation provides a model of cryobanking avian gonadal tissue using a simple vitrification method, and suggests future directions in improving transplantation tolerance and using gonadal transplantation in avian research.

description: The dynamical evolution of terrestrial planets resembling Mercury in the vicinity of spin-orbit resonances is investigated using comprehensive harmonic expansions of the tidal torque taking into account the frequency-dependent quality factors and Love numbers. The torque equations are integrated numerically with a small step in time, includng the oscillating triaxial torque components but neglecting the layered structure of the planet and assuming a zero obliquity. We find that a Mercury-like planet with its current value of orbital eccentricity (0.2056) is always captured in the 3:2 resonance. The probability of capture in the higher 2:1 resonance is approximately 0.23. These results are confirmed by a semi-analytical estimation of capture probabilities as functions of eccentricity for both prograde and retrograde evolution of spin rate. As follows from analysis of equilibrium torques, entrapment in the 3:2 resonance is inevitable at eccentricities between 0.2 and 0.41. Considering the phase space parameters at the times of periastron, the range of spin rates and phase angles, for which an immediate resonance passage is triggered, is very narrow, and yet, a planet like Mercury rarely fails to align itself into this state of unstable equilibrium before it traverses the 2:1 resonance.

description: In this paper, we study a hydrodynamic system modeling the deformation of vesicle membranes in incompressible viscous fluids. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a fourth order phase-field equation. In the three dimensional case, we prove the existence/uniqueness of local strong solutions for arbitrary initial data as well as global strong solutions under the large viscosity assumption. We also establish some regularity criteria in terms of the velocity for local smooth solutions. Finally, we investigate the stability of the system near local minimizers of the elastic bending energy.

We study realizations which lead to the formation of domains, where individuals of one or more species coexist, separated by interfaces whose (average) dynamics is curvature driven. This type of behavior, which might be relevant for the development of biological complexity, leads to an interface network evolution and pattern formation similar to the ones of several other nonlinear systems in condensed matter and cosmology.

 Recognition. This species is most similar in hind femur structure to D. lugens, which is a much darkercolored species that has a distinctive clear area on the hind femur, which is lacking in D. perplexa. The otherwise similar D. divaricata has a much rounder group of peglike setae.
 This is a slightly problematic species because its lectotype is a female. This female could conceivably be of another described species than of the males later assigned to this species by Borgmeier (1963), which include some specimens D. divaricata. We continue the tradition of recognizing males first described by Borgmeier (1963) as D. perplexa, which we feel is a pragmatic course of action given that females are currently largely unrecognizable.

description: The boundaries of waveguides and nanowires have drastic influence on their coherent scattering properties. Designing the boundary profile is thus a promising approach for transmission and band-gap engineering with many applications. By performing an experimental study of microwave transmission through rough waveguides we demonstrate that a recently proposed surface scattering theory can be employed to predict the measured transmission properties from the boundary profiles and vice versa. A new key ingredient of this theory is a scattering mechanism which depends on the squared gradient of the surface profiles. We demonstrate the non-trivial effects of this scattering mechanism by detailed mode-resolved microwave measurements and numerical simulations.

description: This monograph derives direct and concrete relations between colored Jones polynomials and the topology of incompressible spanning surfaces in knot and link complements. Under mild diagrammatic hypotheses that arise naturally in the study of knot polynomial invariants (A- or B-adequacy), we prove that the growth of the degree of the colored Jones polynomials is a boundary slope of an essential surface in the knot complement. We show that certain coefficients of the polynomial measure how far this surface is from being a fiber in the knot complement; in particular, the surface is a fiber if and only if a particular coefficient vanishes. Our results also yield concrete relations between hyperbolic geometry and colored Jones polynomials: for certain families of links, coefficients of the polynomials determine the hyperbolic volume to within a factor of 4. Our approach is to generalize the checkerboard decompositions of alternating knots. Under mild diagrammatic hypotheses (A- or B-adequacy), we show that the checkerboard knot surfaces are incompressible, and obtain an ideal polyhedral decomposition of their complement. We employ normal surface theory to establish a dictionary between the pieces of the JSJ decomposition of the surface complement and the combinatorial structure of certain spines of the checkerboard surface (state graphs). Since state graphs have previously appeared in the study of Jones polynomials, our setting and methods create a bridge between quantum and geometric knot invariants.

Oxygen stores, carbon dioxide accumulation and nutritional status as determinants of diving ability of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus)
Creators: name: Gerlinsky, Carling Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The diving ability of marine mammals is limited by body oxygen stores (TBO) and rates of oxygen depletion (diving metabolic rate; DMR), which can be expressed as the calculated aerobic dive limit (cADL). Diving ability must also be influenced by CO₂ production and control of ventilation. I investigated the factors that limit the diving ability of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), including the effect of nutritional stress on the cADL. Specifically, I 1) determined the cADL of Steller sea lions by measuring TBO and DMR, 2) determined whether nutritional stress alters the cADL and 3) examined the post-dive elimination of CO₂, and the sensitivity of Steller sea lions to hypercapnia (high inspired CO₂). TBO was estimated from measured blood oxygen stores and body composition―and metabolic rate, breathing frequency and dive behaviour were recorded prior to and during a period of nutritional stress where animals lost ~10% of their mass. Animals breathed ambient, hypercapnic or hypoxic (low O₂) air to experimentally alter pCO₂ levels and decrease rates of CO₂ elimination and O₂ consumption. I found that the TBO (35.9 ml O₂ kg-¹) and cADL (3.0 minutes) in actively diving Steller sea lions were lower than previously reported for other species of sea lions and fur seals. I also found a significant increase in mass-specific DMR and blood volume (resulting in higher TBO) in nutritionally stressed animals that resulted in a longer cADL. Hypercapnia was found to significantly affect ventilation, but had no effect on dive behaviour―and elimination of CO₂ between dives took longer than replenishing O₂ stores. Overall, nutritional stress and hypercapnic conditions did not directly limit the diving ability of the Steller sea lions, but had an indirect effect on foraging efficiency by increasing the time they spent on the surface between dives. Accumulation of CO₂ over several dives in a foraging bout also appeared to reduce foraging efficiency, which likely ultimately limits the time a sea lion spends in apnea and therefore overall foraging duration and net energy intake.

description: A new set of color selection criteria (VJL) analogous with the BzK method is designed to select both star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and passively-evolving galaxies (PEGs) at 2.310^{10}M_{Sun}) galaxies at 2.30.4) SFGs, which however, only account for ~20% of the number density of massive SFGs. We also use the mid-infrared fluxes to clean our PEG sample, and find that galaxy size can be used as a secondary criterion to effectively eliminate the contamination of dusty SFGs. The redshift distribution of the cleaned PEG sample peaks at z~2.5. We find 6 PEG candidates at z>3 and discuss possible methods to distinguish them from dusty contamination. We conclude that at least part of our candidates are real PEGs at z~3, implying that this type of galaxies began to form their stars at z>5. We measure the integrated stellar mass density of PEGs at z~2.5 and set constraints on it at z>3. We find that the integrated stellar mass density grows by at least about factor of 10 in 1 Gyr at 3

description: Instead of the fermion-fermion scattering which identifies the BCS-BEC crossover in cold atom systems, boson-boson scattering is measurable and characterizes the BCS-BEC crossover at quark level. We study $π$-$π$ scattering in a pion superfluid described by the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We found that the scattering amplitude drops down monotonically with decreasing isospin density and finally vanishes at the boundary of the phase transition. This indicates a BCS-BEC crossover in the pion superfluid.
