Checklist

description: Research on need for closure (NFC) has highlighted the effects of uncertainty on motivational processes and decision-making abilities. Need for closure has been found to influence how people seek, use, and communicate information to form judgments and make decisions. The depth of the information search is affected by need for closure, which influences the quality of decisions made. People with high NFC tend to make quick but low-quality judgments and decisions based on inconclusive evidence because of their aversion to ambiguity and uncertainty. In a team setting, need for closure has been found to affect how team members communicate information and form judgments and decisions. Teams with high NFC are motivated to reach a consensus, reject deviating opinions, resist change, and rely on easily accessible knowledge to make decisions. Together, the consequence of high NFC for both individuals and teams is that they make quick but poor decisions. Research on checklists in the medical field has shown to reduce mistakes, encourage teamwork, and improve communication. To reduce the effects of NFC, I propose that checklists can be used to improve teamwork and communication while solving problems under pressure. In this dissertation, I used Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, a video game that requires two people to work together to disarm bombs by solving various puzzles under time pressure. In Experiment 1, I showed that the experimental checklist designed for this study can be used to reduce the influence of NFC and increase team performance. In Experiment 2, I did not find evidence that the experimental checklist and fear of invalidity reduced the effects of NFC. Qualitative analysis of the team’s interactions during gameplay revealed behaviors that relate to NFC and team performance. In this dissertation, I argue that research on motivation can benefit by studying the interventions designed and used by real-world teams for reducing uncertainty and improving human performance. I also discuss the limitations of both studies and suggest recommendations for future studies on advancing the literature on NFC
Unraveling the link between the Mdm2-p53 axis and aging

p53 protein

description: The transcription factor p53 is an important master regulator of the cellular response to stress. Mdm2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is the primary negative regulator of p53. Mdm2 downregulates p53 activity through three mechanisms: proteasome-mediated degradation, exportation from the nucleus, and direct inhibition through binding. Though the roles of the Mdm2-p53 axis in cancer have been well characterized, the relationship between p53 and other diseases remain elusive. Recently, three novel Mdm2 mutations were identified in patients with premature aging. One mutation leads to the abolishment of the Mdm2 stop codon, thereby extending the Mdm2 C-terminus by five additional amino acids. The other mutation leads to alternative splicing of Mdm2, resulting in two isoforms: a full length Mdm2 protein with a point mutation in the p53 binding domain and a truncated Mdm2 protein that has a 25 amino acid deletion in the p53 binding domain. Our results indicate that the causative Mdm2 variants are hyper-stable and lead to increased p53 protein stabilization. The anti-terminating mutant Mdm2 is defective as an E3 ligase, but retains its ability to bind and dampen p53 activity. However, p53 can be hyper-activated upon induction. Analysis of patient fibroblasts, patient lymphoblastoid cell lines, and genome-edited cells that express mutant Mdm2 confirmed the aberrant regulation of p53. MdmX may also potentially play a compensatory role in this axis. Altogether, our results demonstrate that defective Mdm2 can lead to constitutive dysfunctional regulation of p53 and contribute to accelerated aging phenotypes.

The authors are graduate students at UBC and volunteers working at the Sustainability Booth in LCA XV conference, which was held at UBC, from October 6th to October 8th, 2015. It was intended to assess the environmental impacts of the 2015 LCA XV conference and provide students a real world sustainability experience, skills and knowledge. The two students (authors) investigated the following five aspects: waste generated by the conference, the material of schedule sheet, the disposals, attendees’ transportation modes and electricity usage. Generally, the conference was excellent in terms of reducing impacts on the environment. The analysis results will provide more information for future decision-making.

description: Over the past two decades, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, have gained a lot of attention, and are rapidly becoming ubiquitous because of their diverse applications such as surveillance, disaster management, pollution monitoring, film-making, and military reconnaissance. However, incidents such as fatal system failures, malicious attacks, and disastrous misuses have raised concerns in the recent past. Security and viability concerns in drone-based applications are growing at an alarming rate. Besides, UAV networks (UAVNets) are distinctive from other ad-hoc networks. Therefore, it is necessary to address these issues to ensure proper functioning of these UAVs while keeping their uniqueness in mind. Furthermore, adequate security and functionality require the consideration of many parameters that may include an accurate cognizance of the working mechanism of vehicles, geographical and weather conditions, and UAVNet communication. This is achievable by creating a simulator that includes these aspects. A performance evaluation through relevant drone simulator becomes indispensable procedure to test features, configurations, and designs to demonstrate superiority to comparative schemes and suitability. Thus, it becomes of paramount importance to establish the credibility of simulation results by investigating the merits and limitations of each simulator prior to selection. Based on this motivation, we present a comprehensive survey of current drone simulators. In addition, open research issues and research challenges are discussed and presented.

Unraveling the molecular mechanism underlying ALS-linked astrocyte toxicity for motor neurons
Creators: Ikiz, Burcin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Neurosciences
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Mutations in superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) cause a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal paralytic disorder. Transgenic mutant SOD1 rodents capture the hallmarks of this disease, which is characterized by a progressive loss of motor neurons. Studies in chimeric and conditional transgenic mutant SOD1 mice indicate that non-neuronal cells, such as astrocytes, play an important role in motor neuron degeneration. Consistent with this non-cell autonomous scenario are the demonstrations that wild-type primary and embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons selectively degenerate when cultured in the presence of either mutant SOD1-expressing astrocytes or medium conditioned with such mutant astrocytes. The work in this thesis rests on the use of an unbiased genomic strategy that combines RNA-Seq and "reverse gene engineering" algorithms in an attempt to decipher the molecular underpinnings of motor neuron degeneration caused by mutant astrocytes. To allow such analyses, first, mutant SOD1-induced toxicity on purified embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons was validated and characterized. This was followed by the validation of signaling pathways identified by bioinformatics in purified embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons, using both pharmacological and genetic techniques, leading to the discovery that nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is instrumental in the demise of motor neurons exposed to mutant astrocytes in vitro. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of this novel genomic approach to study neurodegeneration and to point to NF-κB as a potential valuable therapeutic target for ALS.

description: In this paper we have applied the generalized Kerr-Schild transformation finding a new family of stationary perfect-fluid solutions of the Einstein field equations. The procedure used combines some well-known techniques of null and timelike vector fields, from which some properties of the solutions are studied in a coordinate-free way. These spacetimes are algebraically special being their Petrov types II and D. This family includes all the classical vacuum Kerr-Schild spacetimes, excepting the plane-fronted gravitational waves, and some other interesting solutions as, for instance, the Kerr metric in the background of the Einstein Universe. However, the family is much more general and depends on an arbitrary function of one variable.

The various power decays of the survival probability at long times for free quantum particle

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The long time behaviour of the survival probability of initial state and its dependence on the initial states are considered, for the one dimensional free quantum particle. We derive the asymptotic expansion of the time evolution operator at long times, in terms of the integral operators. This enables us to obtain the asymptotic formula for the survival probability of the initial state $ψ(x)$, which is assumed to decrease sufficiently rapidly at large $|x|$. We then show that the behaviour of the survival probability at long times is determined by that of the initial state $ψ$ at zero momentum $k=0$. Indeed, it is proved that the survival probability can exhibit the various power-decays like $t^{-2m-1}$ for an arbitrary non-negative integers $m$ as $t \to \infty $, corresponding to the initial states with the condition $\hatψ (k) = O(k^m)$ as $k\to 0$.

In particular, we give combinatorial interpretations in terms of nonintersecting lattice paths of these formulas, which makes the equality of the two formulas immediately obvious. Furthermore we provide an alternative determinantal formula for these multiplicities, and we show that they count semistandard tableaux of unusual shapes.

Unreliable Narrators: Staging Performance in the 1970s

description: The 1970s are widely considered the decade of performance, with both the formulation of the term “performance” and fierce debates about its precise definition. Championing this novel genre, critics and artists sought to distinguish performance from the conventions of theater and the prescriptions of commercial entertainment. In the definition that has since dominated art history, performance implied the exclusion of narrative, script, artifice, and theatricality. However, this understanding of performance relies on a caricature of the genre that excludes much of the work made in downtown New York City in the 70s: performance’s constitutive moment. Drawing on original archival research, the dissertation is a critical study of this important but heretofore neglected history. Structured around case studies of pivotal works by Laurie Anderson, Julia Heyward, and Jill Kroesen, pioneering figures in the downtown milieu, the project considers how artists melded narrative forms, theatrical devices, and charismatic onstage personae with biting social critique. Often challenging television, rock music, and advanced art alike, the performances at hand exemplify the period’s complicated matrix of “selling out” and “crossing over,” adding new dimensions to a longstanding conversation about the relationship between the avant-garde and mass culture. Rather than a total denial or negation of the elements of theater, as has often been proposed, “performance” I argue, emerges in the 1970s, in a complex dialectical relation with theater’s elements (while often nonetheless rhetorically distancing itself from theater tout court). “Performance” as a genre, I argue, emerged in the 70s as something to be fundamentally staged.

description: Regional innovation is more and more considered an important enabler of welfare. It is no coincidence that the European Commission has started looking at regional peculiarities and dynamics, in order to focus Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization towards effective investment policies. In this context, this work aims to support policy makers in the analysis of innovation-relevant trends. We exploit a European database of the regional patent application to determine the dynamics of a set of technological innovation indicators. For this purpose, we design and develop a software system for assessing unfolding trends in such indicators. In contrast with conventional knowledge-based design, our approach is biologically-inspired and based on self-organization of information. This means that a functional structure, called track, appears and stays spontaneous at runtime when local dynamism in data occurs. A further prototyping of tracks allows a better distinction of the critical phenomena during unfolding events, with a better assessment of the progressing levels. The proposed mechanism works if structural parameters are correctly tuned for the given historical context. Determining such correct parameters is not a simple task since different indicators may have different dynamics. For this purpose, we adopt an adaptation mechanism based on differential evolution. The study includes the problem statement and its characterization in the literature, as well as the proposed solving approach, experimental setting and results.

description: Gravitational wave (GW) observations provide insight into the gravity regime. These observations relies on the comparison of the data to the GWs model, which depends on the orbital evolution of the binary systems. In this paper, we study the orbital evolution of eccentric compact binaries within screened modified gravity, which is a kind of scalar-tensor theory with screening mechanisms. According to the Noether's theorem, from the theory's GW action, we compute the angular momentum flux both as a function of the fields in the theory and as a function of the multipole moments of a N-body system. We specialize to the orbital parameters of eccentric compact binaries to express its orbital energy and angular momentum decay, and then derive the decay rates of its orbital eccentricity and semimajor axis. We find that these quantities decay faster than in General Relativity due to the presence of dipole radiation.

The influence of the mechanical imperfections of the real system in the analysis of the spectral fluctuations and in the length spectra compared to the exact data of the ideal system are shown. We also discuss the influence of a family of marginally stable orbits, the bouncing ball orbits, in two microwave stadium billiards with different geometrical dimensions.

description: The behavior of both the survival S(t) and nonescape P(t) probabilities at long times for the one-dimensional free particle system is shown to be closely connected to that of the initial wave packet at small momentum. We prove that both S(t) and P(t) asymptotically exhibit the same power-law decrease at long times, when the initial wave packet in momentum representation behaves as O(1) or O(k) at small momentum. On the other hand, if the integer m becomes greater than 1, S(t) and P(t) decrease in different power-laws at long times.

description: We study the hypermultiplet moduli space of an N=4, U(Q_1)xU(Q_5) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions to extract the effective SCFT description of near extremal 5-dimensional black holes modelled by a collection of D1- and D5-branes. On the moduli space, excitations with fractional momenta arise due to a residual discrete gauge invariance. It is argued that, in the infra-red, the lowest energy excitations are described by an effective c=6, N=4 SCFT on T^4, also valid in the large black hole regime. The ``effective string tension'' is obtained using T-duality covariance. While at the microscopic level, minimal scalars do not couple to (1,5) strings, in the effective theory a coupling is induced by (1,1) and (5,5) strings, leading to Hawking radiation. These considerations imply that, at least for such black holes, the calculation of the Hawking decay rate for minimal scalars has a sound foundation in string theory and statistical mechanics and, hence, there is no information loss.

description: This study focused on submarket modeling with unsupervised learning and geographic information system fundamentals to better understand urbanism at the neighborhood scale. A Spatially Constrained Weighted-Multivariate Hierarchical Clustering algorithm was trained to identify the optimal number of Multifamily Residential Commercial Real Estate submarkets in Manhattan, New York. The methodology explored Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for predicting the annual normalized values of every Multifamily Residential Commercial Real Estate property in Manhattan, which had been transacted from and including 2004 to 2018. Several extensive data transformations were applied prior to model fitting. A novel conditional random sampling technique was introduced to train and test set split sparse matrices for validating the prediction results. The study utilized a series of optimization techniques, including Leave One Out Cross Validation for estimating the optimal low rank matrix. The results from Non-Negative Matrix Factorization were compared with other imputation methods for sparse matrices, including Simon Funk’s Singular Value Decomposition. Both the observed and imputed values were then clustered on a weighted basis with the Spatially Constrained Weighted-Multivariate Hierarchical Clustering algorithm, using five different Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering linkage methods: Average Linkage, Median Linkage, Centroid Linkage, Complete Linkage, and Ward’s Method. Ward’s Method was found to be the superior linkage method for determining the optimal number of submarkets, when measured by the maximum absolute value difference between the mean intra-cluster similarity and the maximum inter-cluster dissimilarity. The clustering results indicated that the optimal number of Multifamily Residential Commercial Real Estate submarkets in Manhattan from 2004 to 2018 was 43. The final results were mapped by spatial joining to the intersecting land lot polygons with their respective submarket identifications. This study found that in several cases, there was a strong and obvious presence of multiple submarkets contained within a discrete neighborhood boundary. A speculative discussion was introduced regarding what that might mean for better understanding neighborhood change, possible policy applications, and the future of urbanism.

description: In this work, pumped currents of the adiabatically-driven double-barrier structure based on the pseudospin-1 Dirac-Weyl fermions are studied. As a result of the three-band dispersion and hence the unique properties of pseudospin-1 Dirac-Weyl quasiparticles, sharp current-direction reversal is found at certain parameter settings especially at the Dirac point of the band structure, where apexes of the two cones touches at the flat band. Such a behavior can be interpreted consistently by the Berry phase of the scattering matrix and the classical turnstile mechanism.

Building energy benchmarking for UBC Neighbourhood MURBs
Creators: name: Power, Joshua
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: To support the energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions laid out in UBC’s Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP)1 for residential neighbourhoods on campus, the University is developing a building energy benchmarking strategy. One of the first initiatives in the strategy is the implementation of a benchmarking pilot project that focuses on six multi-family rental buildings in UBC’s residential neighbourhood; five low-rise (four storey) and one high-rise (fourteen storey) building. The pilot was carried out with funding support from BC Hydro and in coordination with three municipalities: City of New Westminster, City of Surrey, and City of Victoria that are working on benchmarking their own building portfolios. Energy benchmarking is the process of comparatively assessing a building’s energy performance relative to other similar buildings. Many organizations, especially governing bodies, have turned towards benchmarking as a policy tool to overcome informational gaps that act as barriers to energy efficiency investment.2 For UBC’s multi-family buildings, energy benchmarking serves as a precursor for informed decision making around energy efficiency improvements. The main objectives of this study are to benchmark the six rental buildings in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (ESPM)3, an online energy management tool that allows for self-serve utility consumption tracking, and to identify an appropriate strategy for communicating the benchmarking results to building owners. Through the completion of the study, it was determined that benchmarking UBC’s multi-family buildings using ESPM is a straightforward process once utility data are acquired. The software is suitable for UBC since it is free and non-proprietary and has multiple connections to other UBC initiatives, such as the Residential Environmental Assessment Program (REAP)4 and SMARTTool5 reporting requirements. To communicate the results, a custom UBC-specific statement of energy performance was produced for each of the buildings in the study. The one-page report, intended for building owners, provides an overview of the building that includes: performance history, a breakdown of GHG emissions by source and an estimated breakdown of the building’s energy end-uses.

description: We report the design of a diamond-based honeycomb phononic network, in which a mechanical resonator couples to three distinct phononic crystal waveguides. This two-dimensional (2D) phononic network extends an earlier study on one-dimensional (1D) phononic networks with closed mechanical subsystems. With a special design for the phononic band structures of the waveguides, any two neighboring resonators in the 2D network and the waveguide between them can form a closed mechanical subsystem, which enables nearest neighbor coupling and at the same time circumvents the scaling problems inherent in typical large mechanical systems. In addition, the 2D network can be attached to a square phononic crystal lattice and be protected by the large band gap of the phononic crystal shield. Honeycomb phononic networks of spin qubits with nearest neighbor coupling can serve as an experimental platform for quantum computing and especially topological quantum error corrections.

description: Jupiter Trojan asteroids are located around L4 and L5 Lagrangian points on relatively stable orbits, in 1:1 MMR with Jupiter. However, not all of them lie in orbits that remain stable over the age of the Solar System. Unstable zones allow some Trojans to escape in time scales shorter than the Solar System age. This may contribute to populate other small body populations. In this paper, we study this process by performing long-term numerical simulations of the observed Trojans, focusing on the trajectories of those that leave the resonance. The orbits of current Trojans are taken as initial conditions and their evolution is followed under the gravitational action of the Sun and the planets. We find the rate of escape of Trojans from L5, ~1.1 times greater than from L4. The majority of escaped Trojans have encounters with Jupiter although they have encounters with the other planets too. Almost all escaped Trojans reach the comet zone, ~90% cross the Centaur zone and only L4 Trojans reach the transneptunian zone. Considering the real asymmetry between L4 and L5, we show that 18 L4 Trojans and 14 L5 Trojans with diameter D > 1 km are ejected from the resonance every Myr. The contribution of the escaped Trojans to other minor body populations would be negligible, being the contribution from L4 and L5 to JFCs and no-JFCs almost the same, and the L4 contribution to Centaurs and TNOs, orders of magnitude greater than that of L5. Considering the collisional removal, besides the dynamical one, and assuming that Trojans that escape due to collisions follow the same dynamical behavior that the ones removed by dynamics, we would have a minor contribution of Trojans to comets and Centaurs. However, there would be some specific regions were escaped Trojans could be important such as ACOs, Encke-type comets, S-L 9-type impacts on Jupiter and NEOs.

On the gravitational, dilatonic and axionic radiative damping of cosmic strings

description: We study the radiation reaction on cosmic strings due to the emission of dilatonic, gravitational and axionic waves. After verifying the (on average) conservative nature of the time-symmetric self-interactions, we concentrate on the finite radiation damping force associated with the half-retarded minus half-advanced ``reactive'' fields. We revisit a recent proposal of using a ``local back reaction approximation'' for the reactive fields. Using dimensional continuation as convenient technical tool, we find, contrary to previous claims, that this proposal leads to antidamping in the case of the axionic field, and to zero (integrated) damping in the case of the gravitational field. One gets normal positive damping only in the case of the dilatonic field. We propose to use a suitably modified version of the local dilatonic radiation reaction as a substitute for the exact (non-local) gravitational radiation reaction. The incorporation of such a local approximation to gravitational radiation reaction should allow one to complete, in a computationally non-intensive way, string network simulations and to give better estimates of the amount and spectrum of gravitational radiation emitted by a cosmologically evolving network of massive strings.

description: † Palaeothentidae (Sinclair, 1906)   CONTENTS: † Acdestis and † Palaeothentes.
STEM AGE: 27.4 Mya (95% HPD: 21.3–34.7 Mya).
CROWN AGE: 19.8 Mya (95% HPD: 15.3–25.8 Mya).
UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Cristid obliqua of m1 contacts metaconid (char. 169: 1→0; ci = 0.250).
 COMMENTS: † Acdestis and † Palaeothentes have been included in our analysis as the two palaeothentids currently best represented by craniodental material (Sinclair, 1906; Marshall, 1980; Goin et al., 2003; Abello, 2007; Forasiepi et al., 2014b; Engelman and Croft, 2016). Monophyly of Palaeothentidae has been consistently supported in published phylogenetic analyses (Goin et al., 2007b, 2009a; Abello, 2013; Forasiepi et al., 2013; Rincón et al., 2015; Engelman et al., 2016; Abello et al., 2020, 2021), but our late Oligocene-early Miocene estimate for the divergence between † Acdestis and † Palaeothentes is considerably younger than the ~31 Mya estimate for this event in the a posteriori time-scaled phylogeny of Abello et al. (2020: fig. 2).

description: Decoherence is the main problem to be solved before quantum computers can be built. To control decoherence, it is possible to use error correction methods, but these methods are themselves noisy quantum computation processes. In this work we study the ability of Steane's and Shor's fault-tolerant recovering methods, as well a modification of Steane's ancilla network, to correct errors in qubits. We test a way to measure correctly ancilla's fidelity for these methods, and state the possibility of carrying out an effective error correction through a noisy quantum channel, even using noisy error correction methods.

description: This paper proposes a novel discriminative regression method, called adaptive locality preserving regression (ALPR) for classification. In particular, ALPR aims to learn a more flexible and discriminative projection that not only preserves the intrinsic structure of data, but also possesses the properties of feature selection and interpretability. To this end, we introduce a target learning technique to adaptively learn a more discriminative and flexible target matrix rather than the pre-defined strict zero-one label matrix for regression. Then a locality preserving constraint regularized by the adaptive learned weights is further introduced to guide the projection learning, which is beneficial to learn a more discriminative projection and avoid overfitting. Moreover, we replace the conventional `Frobenius norm' with the special l21 norm to constrain the projection, which enables the method to adaptively select the most important features from the original high-dimensional data for feature extraction. In this way, the negative influence of the redundant features and noises residing in the original data can be greatly eliminated. Besides, the proposed method has good interpretability for features owing to the row-sparsity property of the l21 norm. Extensive experiments conducted on the synthetic database with manifold structure and many real-world databases prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
