description: Background: Uttarakhand, Northern India is facing challenges in the issues concerning public health. Hence, researches identifying the stressors and nutri-tional factors influencing health are encouraged. This study attempts to assess the stress levels and nutritional status. Gender differences are also measured in the same. Methods: Stress and nutritional status related information was gathered (Nov, 2012-June, 2013) from 118 individuals residing in Uttarakhand state. Stress level was assessed using Personal Stress Score Inventory. Anthropo¬metric details and dietary intake (3 day food recall method) were collected. Nutrient intake were calculated and compared with recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Indi¬ans. T-test and Chi-square (χ²) were performed to measure the gender difference in studied variables. Results: 66.6% of females and 85.4% of males reported moderate stress (31-79). Males were seen to be more stressed then females, though no sig¬nificant differ¬ence was seen. A significant difference in BMI (Body mass Index) was seen be¬tween males (24.1 kg/m2) and females (21.5 kg/m2). The study sample was found to be deficient in iron and zinc when compared with RDA. Females suf¬fering from various level of stress had significantly lower levels of energy, pro¬tein, zinc than males. Conclusion: Majority of subjects were suffering from moderate level of stress. The anthropometric status of subjects was good, though females showed signifi¬cantly lower intake of nutrients compared to men. Poor intake of iron and zinc points towards a possibility of hidden hunger. Hence, psy¬chological and nutri¬tional counseling may be required.

description: A high frequency (111.2-420 GHz) electron spin resonance study of the inter-layer (perpendicular) spin diffusion as a function of pressure and temperature is presented in the conducting phases of the layered organic compounds, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2-Cu[N(CN)2]X (κ-ET2-X), X=Cl or Br. The resolved ESR lines of adjacent layers at high temperatures and high frequencies allows for the determination of the inter-layer cross spin relaxation time, Tx and the intrinsic spin relaxation time, T2 of single layers. In the bad metal phase spin diffusion is two-dimensional, i.e. spins are not hopping to adjacent layers within T2. Tx is proportional to the perpendicular resistivity at least approximately, as predicted in models where spin and charge excitations are tied together. In κ-ET2-Cl, at zero pressure Tx increases as the bad metal-insulator transition is approached. On the other hand, Tx decreases as the normal metal and superconducting phases are approached with increasing pressure and/or decreasing temperature.

description: Background: Disaster identification and alert systems can be processed in dif-ferent ways. An early warning system is designed to detect impending danger and send appropriate and clear signals to at risk communities and organizations at the right time and in an unambiguous way. This study aimed to determine early warning sys¬tem for disaster within health organization in Iran.Methods: This article presents the findings of a mixed-methods study of early warning systems for disaster management within the health organizations in Iran. During the years 2011 to 2012, a sample of 230 health managers was sur-veyed using a questionnaire and 65 semi-structured interviews were conducted with public health and therapeutic affairs managers who were responsible for disaster management. Results: A range of problems were identified. Although there is a multi-agency alert system within the health organizations, other indicators of early warning system are not satisfactory. Furthermore, standard messages which are used to alert organiza¬tions are not used under the current system. Conclusion: Some activities such as memorandum of understanding among differ¬ent stakeholders of disaster response and education of staff and communi-ties could improve the response to disasters within the health organizations.

description: Solar geoengineering (SG) might be able to reduce climate risks if used to supplement emissions cuts and carbon removal. Yet, the wisdom of proceeding with research to reduce its uncertainties is disputed. Here, we use an integrated assessment model to estimate that the value of information that reduces uncertainty about SG efficacy. We find the value of reducing uncertainty by one-third by 2030 is around $4.5 trillion, most of which comes from reduced climate damages rather than reduced mitigation costs. Reducing uncertainty about SG efficacy is similar in value to reducing uncertainty about climate sensitivity. We analyse the cost of over-confidence about SG that causes too little emissions cuts and too much SG. Consistent with concerns about SG’s moral hazard problem, we find an over-confident bias is a serious and costly concern; but, we also find under-confidence that prematurely rules out SG can be roughly as costly. Biased judgments are costly in both directions. A coin has two sides. Our analysis quantitatively demonstrates the risk-risk trade-off around SG and reinforces the value of research that can reduce uncertainty. Key policy insightsThe value of reducing uncertainty about solar geoengineering is comparable to the value of reducing uncertainty about other key climate factors, such as equilibrium climate sensitivity.The benefits of research that reduces uncertainty about solar geoengineering may be more than a thousand times larger than the cost of a large-scale research programme.Under-confidence in solar geoengineering’s effectiveness can be as costly as over-confidence.The majority of the benefits of reduced uncertainty come from reducing climate damages rather than from slowing emissions reductions.

description: In this paper we report the superconductivity above 40 K in the electron doping single crystal Ca1-xRexFe2As2 (Re = La, Ce, Pr). The x-ray diffraction patterns indicate high crystalline quality and c-axis orientation. the resistivity anomaly in the parent compound CaFe2As2 is completely suppressed by partial replacement of Ca by rare earth and a superconducting transition reaches as high as 43 K, which is higher than the value in electron doping FeAs-122 compounds by substituting Fe ions with transition metal, even surpasses the highest values observed in hole doping systems with a transition temperature up to 38 K. The upper critical field has been determined with the magnetic field along ab-plane and c-axis, yielding the anisotropy of 2~3. Hall-effect measurements indicate that the conduction in this material is dominated by electron like charge carriers. Our results explicitly demonstrate the feasibility of inducing superconductivity in Ca122 compounds via electron doping using aliovalent rare earth substitution into the alkaline earth site, which should add more ingredients to the underlying physics of the iron-based superconductors.

description: A fundamental requirement for enabling fault-tolerant quantum information processing is an efficient quantum error-correcting code (QECC) that robustly protects the involved fragile quantum states from their environment. Just as classical error-correcting codes are indispensible in today's information technologies, it is believed that QECC will play a similarly crucial role in tomorrow's quantum information systems. Here, we report on the first experimental demonstration of a quantum erasure-correcting code that overcomes the devastating effect of photon losses. Whereas {\it errors} translate, in an information theoretic language, the noise affecting a transmission line, {\it erasures} correspond to the in-line probabilistic loss of photons. Our quantum code protects a four-mode entangled mesoscopic state of light against erasures, and its associated encoding and decoding operations only require linear optics and Gaussian resources. Since in-line attenuation is generally the strongest limitation to quantum communication, much more than noise, such an erasure-correcting code provides a new tool for establishing quantum optical coherence over longer distances. We investigate two approaches for circumventing in-line losses using this code, and demonstrate that both approaches exhibit transmission fidelities beyond what is possible by classical means.

Chromatin-targeting domains and the divergence of histone H3
Creators: name: McBurney, Kristina Lillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: NuA3 is one of the major histone H3 HATs in yeast, as its catalytic subunit, Sas3, is responsible for acetylation of K14 and 23. The only characterized chromatin-targeting domain within the HAT is the PHD finger of Yng1, which associates with H3K4me3 and directs NuA3 to the 5’ ends of genes. We examined the genome-wide localization of Sas3, and found that it strongly correlates with H3K36me3. We demonstrated that recruitment of NuA3 to chromatin is dependent on methylation of both H3K4 and K36, and have implicated a novel member of the NuA3 complex – Pdp3 – as being responsible for this interaction. This likely occurs through its PWWP domain, which is a known H3K36me3-interactor in other proteins. In combination with the PHD finger of Yng1, this provides a mechanism by which NuA3 is recruited across the entirety of transcribed genes. In addition to its PHD finger and PWWP domain, NuA3 also contains the YEATS domain of Taf14. This is a conserved eukaryotic domain of unknown function present exclusively in transcription-related complexes. Although evidence exists suggesting that YEATS domains in other proteins interact directly with histones, its role in the NuA3 complex has remained elusive. We confirmed that the YEATS domain functions in chromatin-targeting of NuA3, and that it interacts directly with H3K9, 18, and 27 acetylated peptides. Finally we showed that NuA3 recruitment is dependent on Gcn5. This work describes a novel mechanism by which acetylation by one HAT targets further acetylation by another, and provides an additional mechanism for recruitment of NuA3. Finally, we explored the functional divergence of residues within histone H3 in yeast and humans. We showed that, while amino acids that define histone H3.3 are dispensable for yeast growth, substitution of residues within the histone H3 α3 helix with their human counterparts resulted in a severe growth defect. Furthermore, these mutations resulted in altered nucleosome positioning, both in vivo and in vitro, which was accompanied by an increased preference for nucleosome positioning sequences. Taken together, this suggests that divergent residues within the histone H3 α3 helix play differing roles in chromatin regulation between yeast and metazoans.

description: Background:Hospitals as key actors in health systems face growing pres¬sures especially cost cutting and search for cost-effective ways to resources manage-ment. Downsizing is one of these ways. This study was conducted to identify ad¬vantages and disadvantages of different methods of hospital' down¬sizing.Methods: The search was conducted in databases of Medlib, SID, Pub Med, Sci¬ence Direct and Google Scholar Meta search engine by keywords of Downsizing, Hospital Downsizing, Hospital Rightsizing, Hospital Restruc-turing, Staff Down¬sizing, Hospital Merging, Hospital Reorganization and the Persian equivalents. Resulted 815 articles were studied and refined step by step. Finally, 27 articles were selected for analysis. Results: Five hospital downsizing methods were identified during searching. These methods were reducing the number of employees and beds, outsourc¬ing, integration of hospital units, and the combination of these methods. The most important benefits were cost reduction, increasing patient satisfaction, increasing home care and outpatient services. The most important disad¬vantage included reducing access, reducing the rate of hospital admissions and increasing employ¬ees’ workload and dissatisfaction. Conclusion: Each downsizing method has strengths and weaknesses. Using dif¬ferent methods of downsizing, according to circumstances and applying appropri¬ate interventions after implementation, is necessary for promotion.

description: We present spectral and temporal results from INTEGRAL long-term monitoring of the unidentified X-ray source IGR J17354-3255. We show that it is a weak persistent hard X-ray source spending a major fraction of the time in an out-of-outburst state with average 18-60 keV X-ray flux of about 1.1 mCrab, occasionally interspersed with fast X-ray flares (duration from a few hours to a few days) with a dynamic range as high as 200. From archival Swift/XRT observations, we also show that the dynamic range from non-detection to highest level of measured X-ray activity is >300. Our IBIS timing analysis strongly confirms the 8.4 days orbital period previously detected with Swift/BAT, in addition we show that the shape of the orbital profile is rather smooth and appears to be dominated by low level X-ray emission rather than by bright outbursts, the measured degree of outburst recurrence is about 25 per cent. The spectral and temporal characteristics of IGR J17354-3255 are highly indicative of a Supergiant High Mass X-ray Binary nature (SGXB). However, our inferred dynamic ranges both at soft and hard X-rays are significantly greater than those of classical SGXB systems, but instead are typical of intermediate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXTs). Finally, we note for the first time that the observed fast flaring X-ray behaviour of IGR J17354-3255 is very similar to that detected with AGILE from the spatially associated MeV source AGL J1734-3310, suggesting a possible physical link between the two objects.

We also generate the broadest bright coherent bandwidth (~300eV) to date obtained from any light source, small or large. The harmonic photon flux at 0.5 keV is 10^3 higher than demonstrated previously, making it possible for the first time to demonstrate spatial coherence in the water window. The continuum emission is consistent with a single attosecond burst, that extends bright attosecond pulses into the soft x-ray region.

description: Introduction Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex experience which can adversely affect a person's health and engagement in daily life. Some evidence-based treatments for PTSD, including pharmacological and psychological interventions, reduce the severity of some of the associated symptoms, although they have shown limited efficacy. Somatosensory approaches can be used to assist a person to regulate their autonomic nervous system. This review identifies touch-based interventions in the treatment of PTSD and examines the role of touch with this population. Methods An integrative literature review was conducted to examine touch-based interventions which addressed the symptoms of PTSD in adults. Quantitative, qualitative and conceptual data were identified from eight databases, findings were appraised and synthesised using thematic analysis strategies, the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and the Critical Appraisal Skill Program (CASP). Results A total of 39 articles were included, describing eleven different touch-based interventions. Three key themes were identified: (i) catalogue of touch-based interventions being utilised in the treatment of PTSD; (ii) proposed mechanisms explaining the effects of touch-based interventions with PTSD; (iii) touch-based interventions which may reduce the symptoms of PTSD. Conclusion Touch can play an important role in emotional regulation and the reduction of symptoms of PTSD. With a growing evidence base for the efficacy of these interventions, one intervention, Emotional Freedom Technique, prevailed. Methodological diversity and a paucity of conceptual frameworks mean that findings should be interpreted with caution. Developing a theoretical understanding for the underlying mechanisms of why touch-based treatments may be effective is required.

description: We study the effect of shear on the cosmological backreaction in the context of matching voids and walls together using the exact inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solution. Generalizing JCAP 1010 (2010) 021, we allow the size of the voids to be arbitrary and the densities of the voids and walls to vary in the range 0 < Omega_v < Omega_w < 1. We derive the exact analytic result for the backreaction and consider its series expansion in powers of the ratio of the void size to the horizon size, r_0/t_0. In addition, we deduce a very simple fitting formula for the backreaction with error less than 1% for voids up to sizes r_0 = t_0. We also construct an exact solution for a network of voids with different sizes and densities, leading to a non-zero relative variance of the expansion rate between the voids. While the leading order term of the backreaction for a single void-wall pair is of order (r_0/t_0)^2, the relative variance between the different voids in the network is found to be of order (r_0/t_0)^4 and thus very small for voids of the observed size. Furthermore, we show that even for very large voids, the backreaction is suppressed by an order of magnitude relative to the estimate obtained by treating the walls and voids as disjoint Friedmann solutions. Whether the suppression of the backreaction due to the shear is just a consequence of the restrictions of the used exact models, or a generic feature, has to be addressed with more sophisticated solutions.

description: Starting from a classical picture of shear viscosity we construct a stationary velocity gradient in a microscopic parton cascade. Employing the Navier-Stokes ansatz we extract the shear viscosity coefficient $η$. For elastic isotropic scatterings we find an excellent agreement with the analytic values. This confirms the applicability of this method. Furthermore for both elastic and inelastic scatterings with pQCD based cross sections we extract the shear viscosity coefficient $η$ for a pure gluonic system and find a good agreement with already published calculations.

On the structure of Accretion Disks with Outflows

description: In order to study the outflows from accretion disks, we solve the set of hydrodynamic equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates ($rθϕ$) to obtain the explicit structure along the $θ$ direction. Using self-similar assumptions in the radial direction, we change the equations to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) about the $θ$-coordinate, which are then solved with symmetrical boundary conditions in the equatorial plane, and the velocity field is obtained. The $α$ viscosity prescription is applied and an advective factor $f$ is used to simplify the energy equation.The results display thinner, quasi-Keplerian disks for Shakura-Sunyaev Disks (SSDs) and thicker, sub-Keplerian disks for Advection Dominated Accretion Flows (ADAFs) and slim disks, which are consistent with previous popular analytical models. However, an inflow region and an outflow region always exist, except when the viscosity parameter $α$ is too large, which supports the results of some recent numerical simulation works. Our results indicate that the outflows should be common in various accretion disks and may be stronger in slim disks, where both advection and radiation pressure are dominant. We also present the structure dependence on the input parameters and discuss their physical meanings. The caveats of this work and possible improvements in the future are discussed.

description: Alongside consistent reporting on health inequities affecting Indigenous peoples in Canada, Indigenous people have been routinely excluded from health policy decision-making. This pattern of exclusion perpetuates health policy decisions that are often ineffective at addressing the root causes of persistent health inequities. Despite Indigenous peoples’ repeated calls to be meaningfully involved, and the emergence of health policy initiatives that include Indigenous peoples, the influence of neoliberalism and neocolonialism in the Canadian policy sphere continues to undermine self-determination and limit Indigenous peoples’ involvement in health policy processes. Those advocating for Indigenous health equity are left wrestling with the question: What constitutes, and what can foster, meaningful involvement in the contemporary health policy climate? This exploratory qualitative research aims to provide a window of insight into this urgent social justice question by exploring the perspectives of twenty leaders and decision-makers in First Nations health and other areas of health policy, with a view to understanding what constitutes meaningful involvement of First Nations peoples in health policy decision-making in BC and Canada. A critical analysis of these data reveals that meaningful involvement is often experienced as a paradox where Indigenous people are excluded via processes of inclusion, and that fostering meaningful involvement requires attuning to the underlying power dynamics inherent in policymaking and taking action to decolonize and transform the policy system itself. Based on this analysis, I articulate a new conceptualization of and framework for meaningful involvement, which is rooted in seven key elements: Recognizing and Representing Indigenous Peoples; Interrupting and Re-imagining Relationships; Preparing Agreements; Practicing Protocols; Leveraging Power; Exerting Community Authority; and Shifting Social Structures. This dissertation concludes with a discussion on the significance and implications of these findings and strategic directions and recommendations for meaningfully involving urban First Nations people in health policy decision-making in BC and beyond.

description: Background: Malnutrition and depression are the common health problems in elderly population. Poor nutrition might have a strong effect on the incidence of depression. The aims of this study were to assess the nutritional and depression status and the possibly relationship between these variables in the urban free-liv¬ing elderly in Tabriz, northwestern Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 184 elderly people (male=97; female=87) with age 60 years or elder in 2012. All subjects entered to the study voluntarily from those attending to daily care centers for elderly peo¬ple. Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tool and Geriatric Depression Score (GDS) were used to evaluate nutritional status and depression scores, respec¬tively. Con¬tinuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and qualita¬tive data were presented as frequency (percent). Spearman’s correla¬tion was em¬ployed to determine the relationship between variables.Results:Up to 50% of subjects had poor nutrition status. About 14% of elderly people had serve depression and 28.3% had mild depression. There was a posi¬tive significant correlation between MNA and GDS tests in both gender (r=0.416; P<0.001). Conclusion: There was no acceptable level of nutritional status and mental health in the elderly people. Further studies are needed to evaluate the other factors that can effect on the quality of life in this population.

description: We present the discovery of the optical afterglow and early-type host galaxy of the short-duration GRB 100117A. The faint afterglow is detected 8.3 hr after the burst with r_AB = 25.46 +/- 0.20 mag. Follow-up optical and near-IR observations uncover a coincident compact red galaxy, identified as an early-type galaxy at a photometric redshift of z~0.6-0.9 (2-sigma) with a mass of 3x10^10 M_Sun, an age of ~1 Gyr, and a luminosity of L_B~0.5L_star. Spectroscopic observations of the host reveal a notable break corresponding to the Balmer 4000-Angstrom break at z~0.9, and stellar population spectral evolution template fits indicate z~0.915, which we adopt as the redshift of the host, with stellar population ages of ~1-3 Gyr. From a possible weak detection of [OII]-3727 emission at z=0.915 we infer an upper bound on the star formation rate of ~0.1 M_Sun per yr, leading to a specific star formation rate of <0.004 per Gyr. Thus, GRB 100117A is only the second short burst to date with a secure early-type host (the other being GRB 050724 at z=0.257) and it has one of the highest short GRB redshifts. The offset between the host center and the burst position, 470 +/- 310 pc, is the smallest to date. Combined with the old stellar population age, this indicates that the burst likely originated from a progenitor with no significant kick velocity. However, from the brightness of the optical afterglow we infer a relatively low density of n~3x10^-4 cm^-3 when epsilon_e and epsilon_B = 0.1. The combination of an optically faint afterglow and host suggest that previous such events may have been missed, thereby potentially biasing the known short GRB host population against z>1 early-type hosts.

description: The purpose of this project was to increase the overall equipment efficiency of a food pouch production line at a United States Company. It will be called Alpha company. Alpha company is a large provider of shelf stable foods to the U.S. military and well-known food companies. The factory has a wide variety of lines, but the focus of this study will be a food pouch production line. The line will be called Line 1. Line 1 makes shelf-stable food pouches for major companies. The daily target overall equipment efficiency (OEE) is 60%, of which the line consistently falls below. This is due to low availability and performance of the machine. Case studies from research papers concerning the OEE of food production lines were studied to see areas Alpha company might be lacking in and how they could improve. A cross functional team met every Tuesday and Thursday of the week to define problems and to discuss action steps and problems they had with completing the assignments. There is no one problem Line 1 experiences that would greatly improve efficiency on the line, so the team divided up tasks and worked individually and together to improve the line. This project focused on the period of November 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. At the end of the study Line 1 was still not consistently hitting the daily goal but due to the nature of continuous improvement the team will continue to meet and address problems as they occur until the line is discontinued.

description: The exact treatment of nuclei starting from the constituent nucleons and the fundamental interactions among them has been a long-standing goal in nuclear physics. Above all nuclear scattering and reactions, which require the solution of the many-body quantum-mechanical problem in the continuum, represent a theoretical and computational challenge for ab initio approaches. After a brief overview of the field, we present a new ab initio many-body approach capable of describing simultaneously both bound and scattering states in light nuclei. By combining the resonating-group method with the ab initio no-core shell model, we complement a microscopic cluster technique with the use of realistic interactions and a microscopic and consistent description of the clusters. We show results for neutron and proton scattering on light nuclei, including p-7Be and n-8He. We also highlight the first results of the d-3He and d-3H fusion calculations obtained within this approach.

description: Amine-functionalized halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-2 N) were prepared and further modified by introduction of salicylaldehyde and formation of imine functionality (HNTs-2 N-Sal). The latter was subsequently used for immobilization of CuI and formation of CuI@HNTs-2 N-Sal, which could effectively promote click reactions of terminal alkynes, sodium azide and α-haloketones or alkyl halides in aqueous media and under mild reaction conditions to afford 1,2,3-triazoles in relatively short reaction times. Notably, the catalyst could be recycled in up to six reaction runs with negligible loss of catalytic activity and CuI leaching. Also, the geometry of CuI adsorption on the modified HNTs surface was explored by molecular simulation with density functional theory. Furthermore, topographic steric maps of possible coordination modes were obtained using the recently released SambVca2 web application tool. Based on obtained results, a catalytic site with superior performance was suggested.
