description: We investigate the coupling between a quantized electromagnetic field in a cavity resonator and a Coulomb interacting electronic system in a nanostructure in an external magnetic field. Effects caused by the geometry of the electronic system and the polarization of the electromagnetic field are explicitly taken into account. Our numerical results demonstrate that the two-level system approximation and the Jaynes-Cummings model remain valid in the weak electron-photon coupling regime, while the quadratic vector potential in the diamagnetic part of the charge current leads to significant correction to the energy spectrum in the strong coupling regime. Furthermore, we find that a coupling to a strong cavity photon mode polarizes the charge distribution of the system requiring a large basis of single-electron eigenstates to be included in the model.

description: Model of the Galaxy with the ring R1R2' can explain some large-scale morphological features of the Galactic spiral structure. The Carina-Sagittarius arm can consist of two ascending segments of the outer rings R1 and R2 which almost touch each other near the Carina region. The Perseus and Crux arms can be partially identified with the descending segments of the ring R2. Model of the two-component outer ring can also explain the existence of some maxima in diagrams (l, VLSR) which are supposed to correspond to the directions tangential to the spiral arms. On the basis of numerical simulations we propose two sketches of the ring structure of the Galaxy which include the bar, two outer rings, the inner ring, and the nuclear gas condensation, that may be a nuclear ring. Both sketches can explain the position of the Carina-Sagittarius arm with respect to the Sun.

description: Spatial reasoning of vascular structures in organs such as the liver is an imperative task performed preoperatively in resection planning when minimising risks of bleeding in a procedure and intra-operatively during surgery. Accurate automatic 3D reconstruction of surfaces from computerized tomography (CT) contours is complex or impossible without user intervention. Often the gap between scan slices is large enough to make contour correspondence between adjacent slices hard to establish and branching difficult to determine. Freely available open source libraries such as the image guided surgery toolkit and the visualization toolkit (IGSTK and VTK respectively) provide building blocks that enable one to speed up the development time whilst allowing one to focus on new algorithms that might help the user. In this paper we present a new automatic solution for visualization/spatial reasoning of vascular networks within the liver that uses two separate 3D reconstruction approaches respectively. In order to make the system automatic, instead of creating contour correspondences where often crucial data is missing between slices we create a layered approach, where the surface of the liver is represented as one or more layered closed surfaces, and vascular networks where correspondence is more complex are represented as stacks of extruded individual contour blocks. Since the geometric primitive used in either reconstruction is the triangle, other algorithms such as collision detection in resection planning can be used.

GRB Progenitors and Observational Criteria

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Phenomenologically, two classes of GRBs (long/soft vs. short/hard) are identified based on their gamma-ray properties. The boundary between the two classes is vague. Multi-wavelength observations lead to identification of two types of GRB progenitor: one related to massive stars (Type II), and another related to compact stars (Type I). Evidence suggests that the majority of long GRBs belong to Type II, while at least the majority of nearby short GRBs belong to Type I. Nonetheless, counter examples do exist. Both long-duration Type I and short-duration Type II GRBs have been observed. In this talk, I review the complications in GRB classification and efforts in diagnosing GRB progenitor based on multiple observational criteria. In particular, I raise the caution to readily accept that all short/hard GRBs detected by BATSE are due to compact star mergers. Finally, I propose to introduce "amplitude" as the third dimension (besides "duration" and "hardness") to quantify burst properties, and point out that the "tip-of-iceberg" effect may introduce confusion in defining the physical category of GRBs, especially for low-amplitude, high-redshift GRBs.

description: This technical memorandum presents the findings from the initial South Florida NCRMP socioeconomic data collection. The report presents preliminary social indicators and provides examples of how indicators can be used to analyze changes over time in a long term setting. The main objective is to lay the groundwork for combining and comparing socioeconomic variables with a goal of developing meaningful indicators that can be used to examine trends in human dimensions of coral reef resources and better understand human influences on effective coral reef conservation. It should be noted that this report presents information that, in many instances, is being collected for the first time. In all instances, the information represents baseline socioeconomic data for the NCRMP. Some of the variables  presented in this report identify gaps in information, and we provide suggestions on how these gaps can be addressed in the future.

description: The Global Positioning System is well known for not reaching indoor environments. Several Indoor Positioning System's have been proposed, but most of these solutions either have high accuracy errors or use expensive material to attenuate positioning errors. In this paper we propose a Computer Vision routine which is able to compute the location and orientation on indoor environments. This routine is based on Structure from Motion, an incremental algorithm which recovers the 3D structure from related photographs. The 3D structures generated are geocoded, stored in a database, and new photographs can be added at any time. By combining these 3D structures with the already existing Synthetic Views method for fast location recognition, we are able to compute the indoor GPS coordinates and orientation of new photographs in less than a second.

description: Übertragung von Audiodaten über Netzwerke wie das Internet ist eine weitverbreitete Technology. Bis jetzt ist die hauptsächliche Anwendung die Übertragung von menschlicher Stimme (Voice over IP). Obwohl moderne Voice over IP Systeme dafür ausgelegt sind Latenz zu reduzieren, ist diese immer noch zu groß um bidirektional Livemusik zu übertragen. Die Entwicklung einer Musikumgebung mit niedriger Latenz würde verteilte Musikaufführungen, sowie "Jamming over IP" erlauben. Diese Arbeit geht einen Schritt in diese Richtung in dem ein Audio over IP System als eingebettetes System entwickelt wird. Alle Komponenten für eine Jamsession über das Internet sind in einem handlichen Gehäuse auf der Basis eines Raspberry Pi untergebracht. Dafür wurde auch ein Linux Kernel Treiber entwickelt. Ausserdem wurde eine Software für Musikübertragung mit niedriger Latenz entwickelt und ausgewertet unter Berücksichtigung von Audioqualität, Datenrate und der reduzierten Rechenleistung des eingebetteten Systems.
description: Transmission of audio data over networks, such as the Internet, is a widespread technology. Up to now, the primary application is voice transmission (Voice over IP). Although modern Voice over IP systems are designed to reduce the audio latency, it is still too high for the bidirectional transmission of live music. The construction of a low-latency music environment would enable distributed musical performances and "Jamming over IP". This thesis takes a step in this direction by building an Audio over IP system as an embedded system. All components needed for a jamming session over the Internet are integrated in a handy box on the basis of a Raspberry Pi. This required the development of a Linux kernel driver. Furthermore, a software for low-latency audio transmission is build and evaluated, considering audio quality, data rate, and the reduced computational power of the embedded system.

description: We present a catalog of 25 definite and 11 probable strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lens systems with redshifts 0.4 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.7, discovered spectroscopically by the presence of higher redshift emission-lines within the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of luminous galaxies, and confirmed with high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of 44 candidates. Our survey extends the methodology of the Sloan Lens ACS Survey (SLACS: Bolton et al. 2006; 2008) to higher redshift. We describe the details of the BOSS spectroscopic candidate detections, our HST Adanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) image processing and analysis methods, and our strong gravitational lens modeling procedure. We report BOSS spectroscopic parameters and ACS photometric parameters for all candidates, and mass-distribution parameters for the best-fit singular isothermal ellipsoid models of definite lenses. Our sample to date was selected using only the first six months of BOSS survey-quality spectroscopic data. The full 5-year BOSS database should produce a sample of several hundred strong galaxy-galaxy lenses and in combination with SLACS lenses at lower redshift, strongly constrain the redshift evolution of the structure of elliptical, bulge-dominated galaxies as a function of luminosity, stellar mass, and rest-frame color, thereby providing a powerful test for competing theories of galaxy formation and evolution.

Female genital mutilation in France and the UK : the role of non-governmental organizations in policy formation
Creators: name: Pazdor, Margery Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: By comparing female genital mutilation (FGM) policy between two European countries, this thesis will show how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) affect the policy-making process. Both France and the UK have large immigrant populations from countries traditionally practicing FGM, and became aware of its occurrence in Europe concurrently with increasing international feminist mobilization against the issue. Each country developed policies towards FGM, but these policies were very different between the two countries. Both countries criminalized the practice, but France did so by conducting prosecutions of parents and traditional practitioners of FGM while the UK did so by enacting legislation that was never enforced. Examining the narrative of events leading to the different policy outcomes shows the extent to which NGOs influenced the outcome. NGOs are seen to have powerful influence via framing strategies, and through creating knowledge and expertise. It is found that their influence was contingent on chance events providing windows of opportunity for action.

description: Abstract: Neuronatin (Nnat) has previously been reported to be part of a network of imprinted genes downstream of the chromatin regulator Trim28. Disruption of Trim28 or of members of this network, including neuronatin, results in an unusual phenotype of a bimodal body weight. To better characterise this variability, we examined the key contributors to energy balance in Nnat+/−p mice that carry a paternal null allele and do not express Nnat. Consistent with our previous studies, Nnat deficient mice on chow diet displayed a bimodal body weight phenotype with more than 30% of Nnat+/−p mice developing obesity. In response to both a 45% high fat diet and exposure to thermoneutrality (30 °C) Nnat deficient mice maintained the hypervariable body weight phenotype. Within a calorimetry system, food intake in Nnat+/−p mice was hypervariable, with some mice consuming more than twice the intake seen in wild type littermates. A hyperphagic response was also seen in Nnat+/−p mice in a second, non-home cage environment. An expected correlation between body weight and energy expenditure was seen, but corrections for the effects of positive energy balance and body weight greatly diminished the effect of neuronatin deficiency on energy expenditure. Male and female Nnat+/−p mice displayed subtle distinctions in the degree of variance body weight phenotype and food intake and further sexual dimorphism was reflected in different patterns of hypothalamic gene expression in Nnat+/−p mice. Loss of the imprinted gene Nnat is associated with a highly variable food intake, with the impact of this phenotype varying between genetically identical individuals.
Dynamic Pricing With Online Learning Of Customer Arrival Rate And Acceptable Price

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In many industries, the price of commodities are adjusted by taking into account the current level of inventory and the distribution of future demand. This has motivated studies in the area of dynamic pricing, which among others have been successfully applied in airline industry. A common assumption in these studies is that the distribution of future demand is known in advance. While sometimes this

distribution can be learned from historical data in advance, there are cases where the selling scenario has unique characteristics and the learning can only be achieved as the selling process is going on. In this note we will use Bayesian learning to update our belief about two distributions: The distribution of customer arrivals and the distribution of acceptable price for customers.

description: We examined archival data of the Palomar Testbed Inteferometer (PTI) covering a sample of 85 Mira variable stars. The sample contains the three most common types: 65 oxygen-rich (M-type), 11 carbon-rich (C-type) and 9 of the intermediary S-type; Periods range from 150 to 600 days. The PTI database spans over nine years of data; up to 80 epochs for individual stars, spanning multiple pulsation cycles per star. These interferometric angular sizes, along with ancillary measures of distance and bolometric flux, can be used to determine linear size and effective temperature, respectively. Additionally, the PTI data can be divided into narrowband data across the K-band (2.0-2.4 µm), allowing separate analysis of spatially resolved continuum and prominent molecular-bandhead regions of these stars, which typically pulsate out of phase. In this poster we present preliminary results that show average sizes changes of 40% for the stellar radii and 44 % for the molecular envelopes.

description: III-V growth and surface conditions strongly influence the physical structure and resulting optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). Beyond the design of a desired active optical wavelength, the polarization response of QDs is of particular interest for optical communications and quantum information science. Previous theoretical studies based on a pure InAs QD model failed to reproduce experimentally observed polarization properties. In this work, multi-million atom simulations are performed to understand the correlation between chemical composition and polarization properties of QDs. A systematic analysis of QD structural parameters leads us to propose a two layer composition model, mimicking In segregation and In-Ga intermixing effects. This model, consistent with mostly accepted compositional findings, allows to accurately fit the experimental PL spectra. The detailed study of QD morphology parameters presented here serves as a tool for using growth dynamics to engineer the strain field inside and around the QD structures, allowing tuning of the polarization response.

description: Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is a common and disabling condition, with a relatively modest research capacity. In order to accelerate knowledge discovery, the AO Spine RECODE-DCM project has recently established the top priorities for DCM research. Uptake of these priorities within the research community will require their effective dissemination, which can be supported by identifying key opinion leaders (KOLs). In this paper, we aim to identify KOLs using artificial intelligence. We produce and explore a DCM co-authorship network, to characterise researchers’ impact within the research field. Methods: Through a bibliometric analysis of 1674 scientific papers in the DCM field, a co-authorship network was created. For each author, statistics about their connections to the co-authorship network (and so the nature of their collaboration) were generated. Using these connectedness statistics, a neural network was used to predict H-Index for each author (as a proxy for research impact). The neural network was retrospectively validated on an unseen author set. Results: DCM research is regionally clustered, with strong collaboration across some international borders (e.g., North America) but not others (e.g., Western Europe). In retrospective validation, the neural network achieves a correlation coefficient of 0.86 (p<0.0001) between the true and predicted H-Index of each author. Thus, author impact can be accurately predicted using only the nature of an author’s collaborations. Discussion: Analysis of the neural network shows that the nature of collaboration strongly impacts an author’s research visibility, and therefore suitability as a KOL. This also suggests greater collaboration within the DCM field could help to improve both individual research visibility and global synergy.

Modulation of rostrolateral prefrontal cortex during cognitive introspection using real-time fmri
Creators: name: Keramatian, Kamyar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main purpose of this study was to examine the ability of healthy individuals to gain control over RLPFC activation by making use of feedback provided to them in real-time about the level of activation in their RLPFC. It was hypothesized that RLPFC is involved in introspective evaluation of thought processes. It was also hypothesized that healthy volunteers could achieve improved modulation of their RLPFC activation by using real-time fMRI feedback from that region. Seven healthy volunteers completed a pre-training session, four to six training sessions, and a post-training session. Subjects were instructed to turn their attention toward their own thoughts in order to up-regulate, and turn their attention toward external sensations to down-regulate the target brain region. During the training sessions, subjects received feedback about their level of activation in bilateral RLPFC, while no feedback was provided during the pre- and post-training sessions. Group analysis of individual sessions revealed enhanced left RLPFC activation throughout the feedback training. In addition, direct comparison of post-training versus pre-training sessions resulted in a significant cluster of activation in left RLPFC. These findings are consistent with the hypothesized role of RLPFC in introspective evaluation of thought processes. They also demonstrate the feasibility of using real-time fMRI feedback training to achieve enhanced modulation of higher cognitive regions such as RLPFC. Finally, the findings underscore important limitations of real-time fMRI studies including global signal modulation and potential undesirable effects of feedback on task performance. Future studies will need to address these limitations.

description: O número de objectos tridimensionais em formato digital tem aumentado consideravelmente nos últimos anos. Com este aumento, intensifica-se o desafio de encontrar um objecto específico em colecções cada vez maiores, de forma natural para o utilizador. Neste trabalho apresentamos um estudo cujo objectivo foi identificar os métodos mais naturais para a descrição de objectos 3D, com especial foco na identificação das expressões verbais e gestuais mais recorrentes. Esta experiência foi realizada utilizando um cenário de construção de modelos LEGO R , no qual um participante constro´i o modelo, tendo de requisitar as peças pretendidas a outro participante. Os resultados sugerem que os utilizadores para descrever objectos tridimensionais preferem efectuar descrições verbais, recorrendo raramente a gestos e utilizando-os apenas como complemento. Pretendemos, futuramente, integrar os resultados desta avaliação numa aplicação que ofereça mecanismos naturais para a recuperação de conteúdo tridimensional deste tipo.

description: The frequency and properties of multiple star systems offer powerful tests of star formation models. Multiplicity surveys over the past decade have shown that binary properties vary strongly with mass, but the functional forms and the interplay between frequency and semimajor axis remain largely unconstrained. We present the results of a large-scale survey of multiplicity at the bottom of the IMF in several nearby young associations, encompassing 78 very low mass members observed with Keck laser guide star adaptive optics. Our survey confirms the overall trend observed in the field for lower-mass binary systems to be less frequent and more compact, including a null detection for any substellar binary systems with separations wider than ~7 AU. Combined with a Bayesian re-analysis of existing surveys, our results demonstrate that the binary frequency and binary separations decline smoothly between masses of 0.5 Msun and 0.02 Msun, though we can not distinguish the functional form of this decline due to a degeneracy between the total binary frequency and the mean binary separation. We also show that the mass ratio distribution becomes progressively more concentrated at q~1 for declining masses, though a small number of systems appear to have unusually wide separations and low mass ratios for their mass. Finally, we compare our results to synthetic binary populations generated by smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations, noting the similarities and discussing possible explanations for the differences.

description: The development of solid-state photonic quantum technologies is of great interest for fundamental studies of light-matter interactions and quantum information science. Diamond has turned out to be an attractive material for integrated quantum information processing due to the extraordinary properties of its colour centres enabling e.g. bright single photon emission and spin quantum bits. To control emitted photons and to interconnect distant quantum bits, micro-cavities directly fabricated in the diamond material are desired. However, the production of photonic devices in high-quality diamond has been a challenge so far. Here we present a method to fabricate one- and two-dimensional photonic crystal micro-cavities in single-crystal diamond, yielding quality factors up to 700. Using a post-processing etching technique, we tune the cavity modes into resonance with the zero phonon line of an ensemble of silicon-vacancy centres and measure an intensity enhancement by a factor of 2.8. The controlled coupling to small mode volume photonic crystal cavities paves the way to larger scale photonic quantum devices based on single-crystal diamond.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der partitionierten Lösung von Mehrfeldproblemen, die aus einer hierarchischen Modellierung kardiovaskulärer Fluid-Struktur-Interaktion folgen. Verschiedene Strategien zur Kopplung der beteiligten Feldlöser werden im Detail untersucht. Dies beinhaltet die Untersuchung von sequenziellen und parallelen Kopplungsalgorithmen sowie Methoden zur Konvergenzbeschleunigung, zur räumlicher Interpolation und zeitlicher Extrapolation von Kopplungsgrößen und Konvergenzkriterien. In dem entwickelten Lösungsansatz wird ein vollaufgelöstes Modell eines Segments des arteriellen Netzwerks mit reduzierten Modellen gekoppelt, um den Einfluss der Umgebung zu berücksichtigen.
description: The present work is concerned with the partitioned solution of the multifield problem arising from a hierarchical modeling approach to cardiovascular fluid-structure interaction. Different strategies to couple the participating field solvers are investigated in detail. This includes staggered and parallel coupling algorithms as well as different methods for convergence acceleration, spatial interpolation and temporal extrapolation of coupling quantities as well as convergence criteria. In the developed modeling and simulation approach, a fully resolved model of a segment of the arterial network is coupled to reduced order models in order to account for the in uence of the surrounding. The resulting problem is solved using five specialized field solvers, namely a fluid and a structural solver for the three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem, a one-dimensional blood flow solver for the surrounding vessel network, a solver for diffrent types of windkessel models used to obtain physiological boundary conditions at the distal ends of the one- and three-dimensional models, and a solver for an elastic foundation that describes the surrounding tissue. The applicability of the solution approach is demonstrated in terms of several exemplary applications including studies of idealized and patient specific end-to-side anastomoses of bypass grafts. They are known to be prone to the development of intimal hyperplasia, i.e. a thickening of the vessel wall that may lead to occlusions in the anastomosis region. There is experimental evidence that hemodynamic quantities such as the wall shear stress promote the progression of this secondary disease. Cardiovascular FSI simulation are therefore of great interest and can aid in surgical planning and optimization of anastomoses shapes and graft materials.

Biology of Branchinecta Mackini and Branchinecta Gigas (Crustacea: Anostraca)

description: The biology of two species of fairy shrimp was inves­tigated. Branchinecta mackini is the smaller species and is primarily a filter-feeder. Branchinecta gigas is the largest known anostracan and is carnivorous, feeding mainly upon diaptomid copepods and g. mackini. Both species were found in a very shallow, turbid, alkaline lake in east-central Alberta. The lake can be classified as a sulphate saline type. The shrimp hatched immediately after the spring thaw in early April. Their growth curves had a tri-phasic form. Growth was very rapid for the first 5 or 6 weeks. A 1 to 2 week period of reduced growth followed which may be associated with the maturation of the gonads. Thereafter, growth resumed at a rapid rate for 5 to 6 weeks and subsequently levelled-off by early July. The maximum mean body length of B. mackini was 27.1 mm at an age of 107 days. There was no significant difference between mean male and female body length. B. gigas males attained a maximum mean length of 56.6 mm at an age of 100 days; and the females, 66.4 mm at 91 days. 100% of B. gigas females were sexually mature at an age of 49 days, which was 28 days earlier than the corres­ponding development in B. mackini. Maximal egg production for B. mackini occurred about the 95th day, after which it declined; and for B. gigas, on the 84th day, after which no further observations were possible. Under experimental conditions, B. mackini produced one clutch of eggs every 3 to 4 days. Each female had a potential egg production of 1,200 eggs in a lifetime. Egg production by B. gigas was not assessed. The maximal clutch size for B. mackini was 332 eggs; for B. gigas, 670 eggs. B. mackini females slightly out-numbered males in all but the last sample. B. gigas males were more numerous than females in the final 4 weeks. Although the lake contained water until late August, no B. gigas were found after 100 days, and no B. mackini after 107 days (21 July). There is no evidence that chemical or physical factors were entirely responsible for the disappearance of the shrimp, although high temperatures may have played a part. Predation was not significant. There is an indication of senescence in both populations at the time of their disappearance. Their growth rates had nearly levelled-off and the rate of egg production was declining. The life span of B. mackini was 15 weeks; B. gigas, 14 weeks. The data suggest that B. gigas males may have a slightly longer life span than the females. The feeding behaviour of B. gigas was investigated. The observations support the hypothesis by Fryer (1966).

description: Severe, early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) due to placental insufficiency is

associated with a high risk of perinatal morbidity with long-lasting sequelae and mortality. Placental insufficiency is the result of abnormal formation and function of the placenta (placentation) with inadequate remodelling of the maternal spiral (uteroplacental) arteries. There is currently no therapy available with demonstrated effectiveness. Evidence suggests Sildenafil citrate improves uteroplacental blood flow, growth, and meaningful outcomes. An objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil (versus placebo) in achieving healthy perinatal survival.
