description: We combine the constraints from the recent Ly-alpha forest and bias analysis of the SDSS with previous constraints from SDSS galaxy clustering, the latest supernovae, and WMAP . Combining WMAP and the lya we find for the primordial slope n_s=0.98\pm 0.02. We see no evidence of running, dn/d\ln k=-0.003\pm 0.010, a factor of 3 improvement over previous constraints. We also find no evidence of tensors, r<0.36 (95% c.l.). A positive correlation between tensors and primordial slope disfavors chaotic inflation type models with steep slopes: V \propto ϕ^4 is outside the 3-sigma contour. For the amplitude we find sigma_8=0.90\pm 0.03 from the lyaf and WMAP alone. We find no evidence of neutrino mass: for the case of 3 massive neutrino families with an inflationary prior, \sum m_ν<0.42eV and the mass of lightest neutrino is m_1<0.13eV at 95% c.l. For the 3 massless + 1 massive neutrino case we find m_ν<0.79eV for the massive neutrino, excluding at 95% c.l. all neutrino mass solutions compatible with the LSND results. We explore dark energy constraints in models with a fairly general time dependence of dark energy equation of state, finding Omega_lambda=0.72\pm 0.02, w(z=0.3)=-0.98^{+0.10}_{-0.12}, the latter changing to w(z=0.3)=-0.92^{+0.09}_{-0.10} if tensors are allowed. We find no evidence for variation of the equation of state with redshift, w(z=1)=-1.03^{+0.21}_{-0.28}. These results rely on the current understanding of the lyaf and other probes, which need to be explored further both observationally and theoretically, but extensive tests reveal no evidence of inconsistency among different data sets used here.

title: Thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 (TRAP-6) promotes human umbilical vein endothelial cells proliferation

subject: TRAP-6

description: I. Abstract Objectives: Thrombin, a dominant coagulation protease has a vascularization-promoting function. Previous studies showed that the interaction between thrombin and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) results in upregulation in expression of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) receptor. Thrombin signaling in endothelial cells mediated by protease-activated receptors (PARs). Thrombin cleaves the PAR-1, the predominant thrombin receptor in endothelial cells, and results in the tethered ligand; SFLLRN interacts with the extracellular loop of receptor and causes receptor activation. TRAP-6, a synthetic peptide that contains motif SFLLRN, showed agonist activity for thrombin. In this study, we investigated the effect of TRAP-6 on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Furthermore, vasculogenesis function of TRAP-6 was determined on human umbilical vein endothelial cells/ adipose-derived stem cells co-culture. Moreover, the ability of TRAP-6 in stimulation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells to express various surface markers was determined. Approach and Results: Here, we used bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assay to measure the proliferation of HUVEC and ASC. The results demonstrated that the proliferation of both HUVEC and ASC is enhanced. The HUVEC/ASC co-culture treated with TRAP-6 resulted in denser microvascular network formation in vitro and vascular network parameters such as the number of junctions, the number of tubules and total tubule length are enhanced. Furthermore, immunohistochemically investigation of surface markers in stimulated HUVEC with TRAP-6 using flow cytometry showed slightly increase of E-selectin, CD 73, thrombomodulin and CD 34 expression, decrease in CD 31 expression and no change in CD 146, VE-cadherin, Tie2, and VEGFR2 expression pattern. Conclusion: Our study provides detailed insight into angiogenetic behavior and influence of TRAP-6 on HUVECs. Our data demonstrate TRAP-6 improved either of HUVEC and ASC proliferation with no toxic effect. TRAP-induced HUVEC/ASC co-culture promotes microvascular network formation. However, the HUVEC surface markers do no indiacte significant change after stimulation with TRAP-6. Therefore, we concluded that TRAP-6 has potential in promoting angiogenesis and vascularization in tissue engineering.

description: We used a ~300 ks long XMM-Newton observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 to study the correlation between the 0.2-10 keV X-ray and the 3000-4000 A bands. We found a significant correlation peak at a time lag of 160 ks where the UV flux variations preceded the variations in the X-ray band. We interpret this result as evidence in favour of Comptonisation models where the observed X-rays are produced through Compton up-scattering of thermal UV seed photons from an accretion disc, as this process naturally predicts the UV variations to precede similar flux variations in the X-rays. The length of the time lag favours models where the observed UV and the seed-photon-emitting regions are connected by perturbations of the accretion flow traveling inwards through the disc, affecting first the main U-band-emitting radii and then the innermost region where the bulk of the seed photons is expected to be produced. Finally, the absence of significant features in the correlation function with X-ray flux variations preceding those in the UV indicates that the observed U-band photons are not mainly produced through reprocessing of hard X-rays in this source.

Melodrama in the 1950s : a new production of Francis Poulenc’s La Voix humaine
Creators: name: Stringer, Sandra Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The thesis for Doctor of Musical Arts candidate Sandra Stringer is comprised of a series of recitals, operatic performances, and a thesis document. All components of said thesis were completed between September 2000 and October 2005. In December 2000, Ms. Stringer played the role of "Hansel" in Englebert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, directed by Nancy Hermiston and conducted by Richard Epp. In March of2001, Ms. Stringer played the role of "Elizabeth Proctor" in American composer Robert Ward's The Crucible, which is based on the highly successful American play of the same name by Arthur Miller. The opera was directed by Nancy Hermiston, conducted by Jesse Read, and the performances were held at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. In her second year, Ms. Stringer completed her operatic requirements with a performance of Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas in which she played the role of "Dido" in March 2002. The opera was paired with a performance of Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi. These operas are related by their subject matter in that the great Italian Renaissance writer Dante alluded to both of these stories in his Divine Comedy. The operas were directed by Nancy Hermiston, conducted by Neil Varon, and the performances were held at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. Ms. Stringer gave the first of two recitals in May 2002 with the pianist Gladys Lau. The program included song cycles by Gabriel Faure, Richard Wagner, Manuel da Falla, and Andre Previn. The recital was performed in the UBC School of Music Recital Hall. Finally, Ms. Stringer gave a lecture recital presentation of Francis Poulenc's La Voix humaine in which she played the sole character, "Elle." The performance was given in September 2005 in the UBC School of Music recital hall and accompanied by Richard Epp on the piano. The recital was presented in conjunction with her thesis document entitled, "Melodrama in the 1950s: A New Production of Francis Poulenc's La Voix humaine."
Kinematics of stars and brown dwarfs at birth

description: We use numerical N-body simulations in order to test whether the kinematics of stars and brown dwarfs at birth depend on mass. In particular we examine how initial variations in velocity dispersion can affect the spatial distribution of stellar and substellar objects in clusters. We use 'toy' N-body models of a Pleiades-like cluster in which brown dwarfs have their own velocity dispersion sigma_(V_BD) which is k times larger than the stellar one. We find that in order to match the broad agreement between the brown dwarf fraction in the field and in the Pleiades, the velocity dispersion of brown dwarfs at birth has to be less than twice the stellar velocity dispersion, i.e. cannot exceed a few km/s in the Pleiades cluster. In order to discern more subtle differences between the kinematics of brown dwarfs and stars at birth, our simulations show that we need to look at clusters that are much less dynamically evolved than the Pleiades. One might especially seek evidence of high velocity brown dwarfs at birth by examining spatial distribution of stars and brown darfs in clusters that are about a crossing timescale old.

description: The solid solution between the ferromagnetic metal SrRuO$_3$ and the enhanced paramagnetic metal SrRhO$_3$ was recently reported [K. Yamaura et al., Phys. Rev. B 69 (2004) 024410], and an unexpected feature was found in the specific heat data at $x$=0.9 of SrRu$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$O$_3$. The feature was reinvestigated further by characterizing additional samples with various Ru concentrations in the vicinity of $x$=0.9. Specific heat and magnetic susceptibility data indicate that the feature reflects a peculiar magnetism of the doped perovskite, which appears only in the very narrow composition range 0.85$

description: We take a qualitative snapshot of rural entrepreneurs in Bulgaria aiming to shed light opportunities and barriers they face in post communist rural communities. Utilising ethnographical methodology, we capture the complex interplay with the institutional environment. Rural entrepreneurship may be seen as one anchor to address the uneven distribution of economic activity across territorial space, one of the complex rural livelihood pathways. We find that the rural business climate is dominated by distrust in formal institutions: a culture of informality is accompanied by widely-accepted corruption.

description: We consider the superstructures, which can be formed in spinels containing on B-sites the transition-metal ions with partially filled t2g levels. We show that, when such systems are close to itinerant state (e.g. have an insulator-metal transition), there may appear in them an orbitally-driven Peierls state. We explain by this mechanism the very unusual superstructures observed in CuIr2S4 (octamers) and MgTi2O4 (chiral superstructures) and suggest that similar phenomenon should be observed in NaTiO2 and possibly in some other systems.

description: This article studies taxation schemes which improve the sustainability of food purchases by reducing environmental emissions with focus on nutritional and socioeconomic effects. Food consumption is estimated to be responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Europe. Among them meats represent 8% of the French shopping basket in terms of weight, and a third in terms of CO2 emissions. For this, we estimate a EASI demand system. From environment and nutrient elasticities, we run two scenarios: an environmental friendly and a nutrient and environmental friendly. From the environmental point of view taxation of animal foods induces a moderate to strong impact on emission reductions. However the nutritional impact is far from neutral and strong favourable effects coincide with undesirable ones. Our results allow to state the terms of trade-off for nutrition with a loss of 25kg CO2 yearly.
Two cultures: "them and us'' in the academic world

Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)

description: Impact of academic research onto the non-academic world is of increasing importance as authorities seek return on public investment. Impact opens new opportunities for what are known as "professional services": as scientometrical tools bestow some with confidence they can quantify quality, the impact agenda brings lay measurements to evaluation of research. This paper is partly inspired by the famous "two cultures" discussion instigated by C.P. Snow over 60 years ago. He saw a chasm between different academic disciplines and I see a chasm between academics and professional services, bound into contact through competing targets. This paper draws on my personal experience and experiences recounted to me by colleagues in different universities in the UK. It is aimed at igniting discussions amongst people interested in improving the academic world and it is intended in a spirit of collaboration and constructiveness. As a professional services colleague said, what I have to say "needs to be said". It is my pleasure to submit this paper to the Festschrift devoted to the 60th birthday of a renowned physicist, my good friend and colleague Ihor Mryglod. Ihor's role as leader of the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics in Lviv has been essential to generating some of the impact described in this paper and forms a key element of the story I wish to tell.

description: Dynamics of spin-glasses subjected to slow continuous changes of working enviroment such as slow changes of temperature or interaction bonds are studied based on scaling arguments and numerical simulations of continuous bond changes. Such perturbations lead to a glassy stationary state where the age or domain size of the system are pinned to macroscopic but finite values due to competition between relaxation and chaos effects (rejuvenation). Flutuation-dissipation relation is also pinned to that of a finite age. The scenario explains the anomalously weak cooling rate dependece of spin glasses.

description: Statutory law is subject to change as legislation develops over time – new regulation can be introduced, while existing regulation can be amended, or repealed. From a requirements engineering (RE) perspective, such change must be dealt with to ensure the compliance of software systems at all times. Understanding the implications of regulatory change on compliance of software requirements requires navigating hundreds of legal provisions. Analyzing instances of regulatory change entirely manually is not only time-consuming, but also risky, since missing a change may result in non-compliant software which can in turn lead to hefty fines. In this paper, we propose MURCIA, an automated approach that leverages recent language models to assist human analysts in analyzing regulatory changes. To build MURCIA, we define a taxonomy that characterizes the regulatory changes at the textual level as well as the changes in the text’s meaning and legal interpretation. We evaluate MURCIA on four regulations from the financial domain. Over our evaluation set, MURCIA can identify textual changes with F1 score of 90.5%, and it can provide, according to our taxonomy, the text meaning and legal interpretation with an F1 score of 90.8% and 83.7%, respectively.

Our experimental design varies prices of healthier and unhealthier alternatives of food products for children. We also examine the interplay of children’s pestering power. Results from our lab experiment suggest that (a) implementing a fat tax and a subsidy simultaneously can nudge parents to choose healthier products, (b) providing information regarding the fiscal policies in place can further increase the impact of the intervention, and (c) kid’s pestering power is one of the causes of the policies’ moderate effectiveness.

Articulatory characteristics of English /l/ in speech development
Creators: name: Oh, Sunyoung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation investigates articulatory characteristics of English /I/ in child speech. The study is primarily based on experimental data collected using ultrasound imaging techniques from eight English children ages 3;11 to 5;9. Replicating previous articulatory studies of syllable-based allophones of /I/ in adult speech production, the articulatory components of III in child speech production are analyzed for the static information and relative timing between tongue movements. Secondarily, the acoustic analysis of this data and its perception judgments by adults are presented.' One of the major findings of this study is that children at these ages produce /I/ using different spatial and temporal coordination than adult speech production, although some children produce /I/ more similar to adult /I/ in terms of articulatory organization. Further, the findings are addressed in relation to speech motor development, and hypotheses are tested to see which motor developmental process(es) (differentiation, integration, refinement) can describe the acquisition of /I/. The ultrasound results of the tongue movements in children's /I/ indicate that all general motor developmental processes are active in these children, and the spatial and temporal coordination of the articulatory gestures of /I/ is rather simplified or modified, and needs to be further refined. I argue that the tendency toward late acquisition of /I/ is due directly to the articulatory complexity of its spatial and temporal characteristics. This work contributes much-needeid empirical data of the articulatory characteristics of /I/ to both language acquisition and speech sciences and constitutes a novel application of ultrasound imaging to child speech research. Organization of this dissertation is as follows. Subsequent to the overall introduction of the study in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 presents the empirical background and hypotheses for the study. It reviews speech and developmental studies in production and perception conducted by other researchers, and proposes empirical questions. Chapter 3 provides the methodology for the study. It introduces ultrasound techniques and experiment design and procedure. Chapter 4 presents the results of the spatial characteristics of the children's /I/ in terms of number of gestures, tongue shape, constriction location, and allophonic variation with respect to different syllable positions. Chapter 5 discusses the results of the temporal characteristics of the children's /I/ gestures. Inter-gestural timing of allophones of /I/ is examined to determine whether timing distinguishes positional allophones in these children's speech. Chapter 6 provides post-experiment perception judgments made by adults, and acoustic analysis of samples of tokens used in the current study. Finally, Chapter 7 summarizes the results and discusses the implications of the dissertation.

Plateros tanatorajensis sp. n. and P. rubromamasensis sp. n. are two species with light coloured elytral margins, but margins of P. tanatorajensis sp. n. are yellowish, narrower and less apparent. These species differ substantially in the shape of antennae (P. tanatorajensis sp. n. having antennae acutely serrate; Figs 26, 27), in light pronotal margins of P. tanatorajensis sp. n., and in the shape of male genitalia (Figs 9, 11). Description. Body small, slender, parallel­sided, black, only legs and margins of pronotum brown, lateral margins of elytra yellow. Head small, hemispherically prominent, interocular distance 1.09 times eye diameter. Antennae reaching slightly over two­thirds of elytral length. Antennomeres 3­10 acutely serrate, flattened, antennomere 5 with apical process as long as width of trunk of antennomere. Antennomeres bearing long erected pubescence (Fig. 27). Pronotum 1.65 times wider at base than long at midline. Frontal margin apparently projected forwards, anterior angles obtuse, apparent, posterior angles acutely projected (Fig. 19). Disc with deep depression at anterior angles, covered with dense pubescence. Elytra parallel­sided, longitudinal costae fine, covered with very dense pubescence. Male genitalia very slender, curved in middle part, widened apically, internal sac membranous (Figs 9, 10). Measurements. BL 6.33 mm, WH 1.57 mm PL 0.83 mm, PW 1.37 mm, Ediam 0.39 mm, Edist 0.42 mm. Distribution. Central Sulawesi Province, Mamasa valley. Etymology. The specific name " tanatorajensis " is derived from the name Tana Toraja, the highland region in the central part of Sulawesi.

description: A particular three-body mechanism is responsible for the missing strength which has been reported in $^3$He(e,e$'$p) reactions at missing momentum above 700 MeV/c. It corresponds to the absorption of the virtual photon by a nucleon at rest which subsequently propagates on-shell and emits a meson which is reabsorbed by the pair formed by the two other nucleons. Its amplitude, which is negligible in photon induced reactions as well as in the electro-production of an on-shell meson, becomes maximal in the quasi-free kinematics (X=1). It relates the amplitude of the $^3$He(e,e$'$p)D reaction to the amplitude of $pD$ elastic scattering at backward angles.

description: We perform a detailed analysis of the phase transition between the uniform superfluid and normal phases in spin- and mass-imbalanced Fermi mixtures. At mean-field level we demonstrate that at temperature $T\to 0$ the gradient term in the effective action can be tuned to zero for experimentally relevant sets of parameters, thus providing an avenue to realize a quantum Lifshitz point. We subsequently analyze damping processes affecting the order-parameter field across the phase transition. We show that, in the low energy limit, Landau damping occurs only in the symmetry-broken phase and affects exclusively the longitudinal component of the order-parameter field. It is however unavoidably present in the immediate vicinity of the phase transition at temperature $T=0$. We subsequently perform a renormalization-group analysis of the system in a situation, where, at mean-field level, the quantum phase transition is second order (and not multicritical). We find that, at $T$ sufficiently low, including the Landau damping term in a form derived from the microscopic action destabilizes the renormalization group flow towards the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. This signals a possible tendency to drive the transition weakly first-order by the coupling between the order-parameter fluctuations and fermionic excitations effectively captured by the Landau damping contribution to the order-parameter action.

description: Denmark introduced a tax on saturated fat in food products with effect from October 2011. This paper makes an effect assessment of this tax for some product categories affected by the new tax: meats and dairy products. This assessment is done by conducting an econometric analysis on monthly food retail sales data from a major retail chain in Denmark (Coop Danmark), spanning the period from January 2010 until October 2012.The econometric analysis suggests that the introduction of the tax on saturated fat led to a decrease in the intake of saturated fat from cream products, but not from minced beef.

description: We present a detailed model describing the effects of wire corrugation on the trapping potential experienced by a cloud of atoms above a current carrying micro wire. We calculate the distortion of the current distribution due to corrugation and then derive the corresponding roughness in the magnetic field above the wire. Scaling laws are derived for the roughness as a function of height above a ribbon shaped wire. We also present experimental data on micro wire traps using cold atoms which complement some previously published measurements and which demonstrate that wire corrugation can satisfactorily explain our observations of atom cloud fragmentation above electroplated gold wires. Finally, we present measurements of the corrugation of new wires fabricated by electron beam lithography and evaporation of gold. These wires appear to be substantially smoother than electroplated wires.

description: The effect of consumers’ compliance with nutritional recommendations is uncertain because of potentially complex substitutions. To lift this uncertainty, we adapt a model of consumer behaviour under rationing to the case of linear nutritional constraints. Dietary adjustments are thus derived from information on consumer preferences, consumption levels, and nutritional coefficients for each food. The model is then used to simulate, for different income groups, how the French diet would respond to various food-based and nutrient-based recommendations, and calculate the related welfare and health effects. This allows for the ex-ante comparison of the efficiency, equity and health effects of nutritional recommendations

description: Micro financing has become integrated in the financial system of Pakistan for overcoming increasing level of poverty. Approach of micro-credit by which small loan is landed to lower income people play a great role in enhancing poor ones income. This study investigates the level of benefits like encouragement for financial independence, mobilization and allocation of resources, female‟s control over resources, smooth cash flows, and decision making at family level due to micro-credit. The result should assist the micro finance institutions (MFIs) to ascertain whether micro-credit financial system is working properly. A survey of MFIs clients (Male and female) shows behavioral intentions and effects of micro-credit to fulfill their planned purposes of borrowings. Respondent‟s attributes the increase, to their standard of living, to micro-credit and MFIs efforts. Thus, this study indicates the planned used by micro-credit and minimal level of use of micro-credit for no planned purposes. It had been practically amplify that the increase in scope of micro-credit is necessary for poverty alleviation in Pakistan.
Molecular evolution, systematics and ecology of microsporidia from fishes and crustaceans
Creators: name: Brown, Amanda May Vivian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Microsporidia are unicellular, intracellular parasites once considered primitive protists without mitochondria, but recently shown by DNA analysis to be related to Fungi. These pathogens have undergone evolution characterized by dramatic losses of genome complexity during adaptation and speciation within host cells. Microsporidian infections can cause mortality in fishes and crustaceans and significant commercial losses in wild, hatchery and fish farm stocks. This study examined microsporidia in salmon, trout, Atlantic cod, Pacific cod, lingcod, walleye pollock, haddock, sablefish, Pacific tomcod, smooth pink shrimp, and a copepod, from marine and freshwater habitats on the east and west coasts of Canada and elsewhere. The purpose was to examine problems in morphological and molecular classification, identify relationships in light of taxonomic and host-parasite co-evolution hypotheses, and combine these data towards description of new species. Ribosomal RNA (rDNA), elongation factor-1 alpha and RNA polymerase II genes were amplified. Phylogenies were reconstructed and tested statistically. Three bioinformatics software (Java) programs were developed to aid DNA analysis. Light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize spores, developmental stages, and pathogenesis. Among 26 isolates of Loma salmonae, most genetic diversity occurred in farms in California, Colorado and Chile (up to 0.66 % rDNA difference), while wild isolates from British Columbia were invariant. Ten other Loma species (1 to 8 isolates each) grouped in phylogenetic clusters often corresponding to species or host. Five new Loma species were described based on developmental timing, spore and xenoma features. Intraspecific polymorphism caused low genetic resolution of some species. Loma species displayed high evolutionary and developmental phenotypic plasticity relative to genetic variance. Data showed host-parasite co-evolution in family Gadidae, and separated previously synonymized taxa (L. branchialis and L. morhua, L. salmonae and Loma sp. in brook trout). Thelohania butleri from shrimp was closely related to microsporidians in marine decapods and grouped apart from other Thelohania species, suggesting this genus needs revision. A new genus and species was described from a copepod, based on production of a mucocalyx and 3 distinct spore forms - features suggesting a possible secondary host. Overall, host and ecology better predicted relationships than did morphology, emphasizing the importance of plasticity.

description: We report the results of extensive high-energy observations of the X-ray transient and black hole candidate XTE J1720-318 performed with INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton and RXTE. The source, which underwent an outburst in January 2003, was observed in February in a spectral state dominated by a soft component with a weak high-energy tail. The XMM-Newton data provided a high column density Nh of 1.2*e22 cm^{-2} which suggests that the source lies at the Galactic Center distance. The simultaneous RXTE and INTEGRAL Target of Opportunity observations allowed us to measure the weak and steep tail, typical of a black-hole binary in the so-called High/Soft State. We could follow the evolution of the source outburst over several months using the INTEGRAL Galactic Center survey observations. The source regained activity at the end of March: it showed a clear transition towards a much harder state, and then decayed to a quiescent state in summer. In the hard state, the source was detected up to 200 keV with a typical power law index of 1.8 and a peak luminosity of 7.5*e36 ergs s^{-1} in the 2-100 keV band, for an assumed distance of 8 kpc. We conclude that XTE J1720-318 is indeed representative of the class of the black hole X-ray novae which populate our Galactic bulge and we discuss its properties in the frame of the spectral models used for transient black hole binaries.
