description: The conventional understanding that a bandstructure that produces a Dirac delta function transport distribution (or transmission in the Landauer framework) maximizes the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, is revisited. Thermoelectric (TE) performance is evaluated using a simple tight binding (TB) model for electron dispersion and three different scattering models: 1) a constant scattering time, 2) a constant mean-free-path, and 3) a scattering rate proportional to the density-of-states. We found that a Dirac delta-function transmission never produces the maximum ZT. The best bandstructure for maximizing ZT depends on the scattering physics. These results demonstrate that the selection of bandstructure to maximize TE performance is more complex than previously thought and that a high density-of-states near the band edge does not necessarily improve TE performance.

description: We consider the one-photon annihilation mechanism in a electron - positron quasiparticle plasma (EPP) created from the vacuum in a strong subcritical laser field due to the dynamical Schwinger mechanism. On the basis of a kinetic theory approach we show that the secondary photons have a radiation spectrum proportional to 1/k (flicker noise). This effect is very small for EPP excitations in the optical spectrum but can reach quite observable values in the gamma - ray region.

description: Fibre modal noise occurs in high spectral resolution, high signal-to-noise applications. It imposes fundamental limits on the photometric accuracy of state-of-the-art fibre-spectrograph systems. In order to maximize the performance of current and future instruments it is therefore essential to predict fibre modal noise. To attain a predictive model we are using a dual approach, bringing theoretical assumptions in line with the experimental data obtained using a test-bench spectrograph. We show that the task of noise prediction can be reduced to determining the visibility of the modal pattern which can be measured at the detector plane. Subsequently, the visibility-dependence of essential parameters is presented. This work will soon provide a basis for prediction of modal noise limitations in fibre-coupled spectrograph designs.

description: This study aimed to examine the complete mitogenome sequence of Crocidura rapax Allen, 1923 using polymerase chain reaction. The mitochondrial genome of C. rapax is a circular double-stranded structure with a complete length of 17,517 bp. The mitochondrial genome of C. rapax included 13 protein-coding genes, one control region, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one origin of L-strand replication. This study confirmed the phylogenetic position of C. rapax in the Crocidura genus at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome is of significant importance for elucidating the genetic background of C. rapax.

Contribution of p-glycoprotein mediated-efflux to the epithelial transport of amphotericin b in caco-2 cells
Creators: name: Osei-Twum, Jo-Ann B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Amphotericin B (AmB) is a highly efficacious therapeutic for invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and protozoal diseases. Increasing prevalence of these conditions necessitates the development of an oral AmB formulation, with reduced toxicity, improved tissue distribution, and improved affordability. Efflux transporters, such as the ABCB1 gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp), affect the oral bioavailability and disposition of a diverse range of compounds. It remains to be ascertained whether AmB is a substrate of P-gp mediated efflux. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether P-gp contributes to the epithelial transport of AmB in the enterocyte-like Caco-2 cell model. Methods: Transient knockdown of ABCB1 was achieved in Caco-2 cells using small interfering RNA. The effect of this knockdown on Caco-2 cell differentiation, transporter expression, and P-gp function were investigated using the measurement of trans-epithelial electrical resistance, Western blot analysis, bi-directional transport and accumulation of Rhodamine 123, a fluorescent P-gp substrate. The interaction between AmB and P-gp was examined using a P-gp ATPase activity and a LDH assay. The ABCB1 transient knockdown Caco-2 cell model and a cell-based AmB HPLC-UV assay were employed to quantify AmB cellular association. Results: Transfected and non-transfected Caco-2 cells formed confluent and differentiated monolayers. Transient knockdown of ABCB1 reduced P-gp expression and efflux efficiency by approximately 63% compared to non-transfected cells. AmB did not stimulate P-gp ATPase activity and AmB cytotoxicity did not differ between transfected and non-transfected cells. Increased association of AmB was demonstrated for ABCB1 siRNA transfected cells compared to non-transfected cells, at the highest tested AmB concentration (5 μg/mL). Conclusions: Small interfering RNA is a possible alternative to the physical inhibition of P-gp, as the transient knockdown of ABCB1 in Caco-2 cells decreased P-gp expression and function. Although there was an increased cellular association of AmB with ABCB1 siRNA transfected cells, differences were not observed for P-gp ATPase activity or between AmB cytotoxicity profiles. The data suggested that P-gp has a minimal contribution to the epithelial transport of AmB in Caco-2 cells. Significance: Clinically, it is unlikely that the oral bioavailability and drug disposition of AmB will be affected by P-gp mediated efflux.

description: We compute form factors in planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills at strong coupling. Namely we consider the overlap between an operator insertion and 2n gluons. Through the gauge/string duality these are given by minimal surfaces in AdS space. The surfaces end on an infinite periodic sequence of null segments at the boundary of AdS. We consider surfaces that can be embedded in AdS_3. We derive set of functional equations for the cross ratios as functions of the spectral parameter. These equations are of the form of a Y-system. The integral form of the Y-system has Thermodynamics Bethe Ansatz form. The area is given by the free energy of the TBA system or critical value of Yang-Yang functional. We consider a restricted set of operators which have small conformal dimension.

malnutrition

description: Funder: Canadian Frailty Network
description: Background: Many patients are already malnourished when admitted to hospital. Barriers and facilitators to nutrition care in hospital have been identified and successful interventions developed; however, few studies have explored how to sustain and spread improvements. The More-2-Eat phase 1 study involved five hospitals across Canada implementing nutrition care improvements, while phase 2 implemented a scalable model using trained champions, audit and feedback, a community of practice with external mentorship and an implementation toolkit in 10 hospitals (four continuing from phase 1). Process measures showed that screening and assessment from phase 1 were sustained for at least 4 years. The objective of this study was to help explain how these nutrition care improvements were sustained and spread by understanding the role of the trained champions, and to confirm and expand on themes identified in phase 1. Methods: Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with champions from each phase 2 hospital and recordings transcribed verbatim. To explore the champion role, transcripts were deductively coded to the 3C model of Concept, Competence and Capacity. Phase 2 transcripts were also deductively coded to themes identified in phase 1 interviews and focus groups. Results: Ten interviews (n=14 champions) were conducted. To sustain and spread nutrition care improvements, champions needed to understand the Concepts of change management, implementation, adaptation, sustainability and spread in order to embed changes into routine practice. Champions also needed the Competence, including the skills to identify, support and empower new champions, thus sharing the responsibility. Capacity, including time, resources and leadership support, was the most important facilitator for staying engaged, and the most challenging. All themes identified in qualitative interviews in phase 1 were applicable 4 years later and were mentioned by new phase 2 hospitals. There was increased emphasis on audit and feedback, and the need for standardisation to support embedding into current practice. Conclusion: Trained local champions were required for implementation. By understanding key concepts, with appropriate and evolving competence and capacity, champions supported sustainability and spread of nutrition care improvements. Understanding the role of champions in supporting implementation, spread and sustainability of nutrition care improvements can help other hospitals when planning for and implementing these improvements.

description: We study the dynamics of the single atom maser, or micromaser, by means of the recently introduced method of thermodynamics of quantum jump trajectories. We find that the dynamics of the micromaser displays multiple space-time phase transitions, i.e., phase transitions in ensembles of quantum jump trajectories. This rich dynamical phase structure becomes apparent when trajectories are classified by dynamical observables that quantify dynamical activity, such as the number of atoms that have changed state while traversing the cavity. The space-time transitions can be either first-order or continuous, and are controlled not just by standard parameters of the micromaser but also by non-equilibrium "counting" fields. We discuss how the dynamical phase behavior relates to the better known stationary state properties of the micromaser.

description: DNA supercoiling plays an important role in a variety of cellular processes. The torsional stress related with supercoiling may be also involved in gene regulation through the local structure and dynamics of the double helix. To check this possibility steady torsional stress was applied to DNA in the course of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that small static untwisting significantly reduces the torsional persistence length ($l_t$) of GC-alternating DNA. For the AT-alternating sequence a smaller effect of the opposite sign is observed. As a result, the measured $l_t$ values are similar under zero stress, but diverge with untwisting. The effect is traced to sequence-specific asymmetry of local torsional fluctuations, and it should be small in long random DNA due to compensation. In contrast, the stiffness of special short sequences can vary significantly, which gives a simple possibility of gene regulation via probabilities of strong fluctuations. These results have important implications for the role of local DNA twisting in complexes with transcription factors.

Outcomes of primary maternity care in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories
Creators: name: Frame, Jean Caitlin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Introduction: In northern Canada women residing in rural communities without local access to maternity care must evacuate at 36-37 weeks gestation to await labour in a city with a regional hospital. Midwifery services are expanding to rural areas of Canada, yet there are few studies that evaluate the safety of rural and remote midwifery compared to routine evacuation for birth. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the Fort Smith Midwifery Program in the Northwest Territories, and to understand the experiences of, and the meaning of, community birth with midwives among the women of Fort Smith. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare birth outcomes from the Fort Smith Midwifery Program (n=281) to: 1) the Inuulitsivik Midwifery Program in northern Quebec (n=1388), and 2) the community of Hay River where women evacuate at 37 weeks to receive intrapartum care elsewhere (n=143). Maternal and newborn outcomes were compared among the three comparison groups using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Focus groups were held with women from Fort Smith who had used the midwifery program to understand their experiences of using the midwifery service and what it means to have access to community birth. Purposive sampling was used to invite Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participants who gave birth in the community and elsewhere. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the odds of 5-minute APGAR scores less than 7. The odds of 1-minute APGAR scores below 7 in Fort Smith were increased compared to the Hudson coast communities, however the rate was similar to those of newborns of women who reside in Hay River and delivered in Yellowknife. Two themes emerged from the focus groups: 1) the midwifery model of care in the community leads to positive experiences of maternity care, and 2) the benefits of and reasons for giving birth in the community. Women spoke positively about their experiences of using the midwifery service whether or not they delivered in the community. Discussion: The findings of this thesis support the development and evaluation of midwife-led models of maternity care in rural and remote communities.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain
Mitochondrial supercomplexes
De novo lipogenesis

description: Funder: GlaxoSmithKline; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100004330
description: BACKGROUND: Tissue hypoxia is a key feature of several endemic hepatic diseases, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and organ failure. Hypoxia imposes a severe metabolic challenge on the liver, potentially disrupting its capacity to carry out essential functions including fuel storage and the integration of lipid metabolism at the whole-body level. Mitochondrial respiratory function is understood to be critical in mediating the hepatic hypoxic response, yet the time-dependent nature of this response and the role of the respiratory chain in this remain unclear. RESULTS: Here, we report that hepatic respiratory capacity is enhanced following short-term exposure to hypoxia (2 days, 10% O2) and is associated with increased abundance of the respiratory chain supercomplex III2+IV and increased cardiolipin levels. Suppression of this enhanced respiratory capacity, achieved via mild inhibition of mitochondrial complex III, disrupted metabolic homeostasis. Hypoxic exposure for 2 days led to accumulation of plasma and hepatic long chain acyl-carnitines. This was observed alongside depletion of hepatic triacylglycerol species with total chain lengths of 39-53 carbons, containing palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, and oleic acids, which are associated with de novo lipogenesis. The changes to hepatic respiratory capacity and lipid metabolism following 2 days hypoxic exposure were transient, becoming resolved after 14 days in line with systemic acclimation to hypoxia and elevated circulating haemoglobin concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: The liver maintains metabolic homeostasis in response to shorter term hypoxic exposure through transient enhancement of respiratory chain capacity and alterations to lipid metabolism. These findings may have implications in understanding and treating hepatic pathologies associated with hypoxia.

description: Paraisaria gracilioides (Kobayasi) Luangsa-ard, Mongkolsamrit & Samson, originally described as Ophiocordyceps gracilioides, is a member of the Ophiocordycipitaceae, within the order Hypocreales. This study, presented the mitochondrial genome of P. gracilioides structured as a circular molecule spanning 181,140 bp, was larger than those of most Ophiocordycipitaceae species. Despite this size variation, encoding 49 genes, including 15 PCGs, 26 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and six ORFs. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences of 14 PCGs revealed that P. gracilioides clustered with Paraisaria gracilis, forming a subgroup within Ophiocordyceps species. The results contribute to refining the taxonomic framework of Ophiocordycipitaceae.
Instabilities, nucleation, and critical behavior in nonequilibrium driven fluids: theory and simulation

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The main subject of this thesis rests on the study ---at different levels of description--- of instabilities in systems which are driven, i.e., maintained far from equilibrium by an external forcing. We focus here on two main classes, namely, driven--diffusive fluids and driven granular gases. A particular driven-diffusive lattice model, prototype for nonequilibrium phase transitions, is investigated. A well-known disadvantage of lattice models is that, when they are compared directly with experiment, often do not account for important features of the corresponding nonequilibrium phase diagram, such as structural, morphological, and even critical properties. Furthermore, theoreticians often tend to consider them as prototypical models for certain behavior, a fact which is in many cases not justified. This is discussed in the first part of this thesis, where we introduce a novel, realistic model for computer simulation of anisotropic fluids. The second class of systems we consider in this thesis concerns driven granular gases. We study clustering, symmetry breaking, and phase separation instabilities in two-dimensional driven granular gases, using both molecular dynamics simulations and granular hydrodynamics. Hydrostatic predictions are tested by comparing with molecular dynamics simulations. We are able to develop an effective Langevin description for close-packed macroparticle, confined by a harmonic potential and driven by a delta-correlated noise.

description: We use ultra-deep ultraviolet VLT/VIMOS intermediate-band and VLT/FORS1 narrow-band imaging in the GOODS Southern field to derive limits on the distribution of the escape fraction (f_esc) of ionizing radiation for L >~ L*(z=3) Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at redshift 3.4--4.5. Only one LBG, at redshift z=3.795, is detected in its Lyman continuum (LyC; S/N~5.5), the highest redshift galaxy currently known with a direct detection. Its ultraviolet morphology is quite compact (R_eff=0.8, kpc physical). Three out of seven AGN are also detected in their LyC, including one at redshift z=3.951 and z850 = 26.1. From stacked data (LBGs) we set an upper limit to the average f_esc in the range 5%--20%, depending on the how the data are selected (e.g., by magnitude and/or redshift). We undertake extensive Monte Carlo simulations that take into account intergalactic attenuation, stellar population synthesis models, dust extinction and photometric noise in order to explore the moments of the distribution of the escaping radiation. Various distributions (exponential, log-normal and Gaussian) are explored. We find that the median f_esc is lower than ~6% with an 84% percentile limit not larger than 20%. If this result remains valid for fainter LBGs down to current observational limits, then the LBG population might be not sufficient to account for the entire photoionization budget at the redshifts considered here, with the exact details dependent upon the assumed ionizing background and QSO contribution thereto. It is possible that f_esc depends on the UV luminosity of the galaxies, with fainter galaxies having higher f_esc, and estimates of f_esc from a sample of faint LBG from the HUDF (i775<28.5) are in broad quantitative agreement with such a scenario.

description: A status report is given for a joint project of the Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal collaboration and the Regensburg group to study the quark mass-dependence of octet baryons in SU(3) Baryon XPT. This formulation is expected to extend to larger masses than Heavy-Baryon XPT. Its applicability is tested with 2+1 flavor data which cover three lattice spacings and pion masses down to about 190 MeV, in large volumes. Also polynomial and rational interpolations in M_π^2 and M_K^2 are used to assess the uncertainty due to the ansatz. Both frameworks are combined to explore the precision to be expected in a controlled determination of the nucleon sigma term and strangeness content.

description: Aims. This work aims to provide a new mass estimate for the Fornax cluster and the Fornax-Eridanus complex, avoiding methods like the virial or fits of X-ray emission profile, which assume that the system is in equilibrium, probably not the case of Fornax, still in process of formation. Methods. Our mass estimate is based on the determination of the zero-velocity surface which, in the context of the spherical infall model permits an evaluation of the total mass inside such a surface. The zero-velocity surface radius R0 was estimated either by a running median procedure or by fitting the data to the velocity field expected from the spherical model, including effects of the cosmological constant. The velocity field in a region within 20 Mpc of the Fornax center was mapped using a list of 109 galaxies whose distances have an average accuracy of 0.31 mag in their distance modulus. Results. Our analysis indicates that the mass of the Fornax cluster itself inside a radius of [2.62-5.18] Mpc is [0.40-3.32] \times 10^14 Modotwhile the mass inside [3.88-5.60] Mpc, corresponding to the Fornax-Eridanus complex is [1.30-3.93] \times 10^14 M\odot.

description: We present an atlas of 88 z~5.7 and 30 z~6.5 Ly alpha emitters obtained from a wide-field narrowband survey. We combined deep narrowband imaging in 120A bandpass filters centered at 8150A and 9140A with deep BVRIz broadband imaging to select high-redshift galaxy candidates over an area of 4180 square arcmin. The goal was to obtain a uniform selection of comparable depth over the 7 targeted fields in the two filters. For the GOODS-N region of the HDF-N field, we also selected candidates using a 120A filter centered at 9210A. We made spectroscopic observations with Keck DEIMOS of nearly all the candidates to obtain the final sample of Ly alpha emitters. At the 3.3A resolution of the DEIMOS observations the asymmetric profile for Ly alpha emission with its steep blue fall-off can be clearly seen in the spectra of nearly all the galaxies. We show that the spectral profiles are surprisingly similar for many of the galaxies and that the composite spectral profiles are nearly identical at z=5.7 and z=6.5. We analyze the distributions of line widths and Ly alpha equivalent widths and find that the lines are marginally narrower at the higher redshift, with median values of 0.77A at z=6.5 and 0.92A at z=5.7. The line widths have a dependence on the Ly alpha luminosity of the form L(L alpha)^(0.3). We compare the surface densities and the luminosity functions at the two redshifts and find that there is a multiplicative factor of 2 decrease in the number density of bright Ly alpha emitters from z=5.7 to z=6.5, while the characteristic luminosity is unchanged.

description: I discuss methods and current software packages for radio searches for pulsars and short-duration transients. I then describe the properties of the current pulsar population and the status of and predictions for ongoing and future surveys. The presently observed pulsar population numbers around 2000 and is expected to roughly double over the next five years, with the number of millisecond pulsars expected to more than triple. Finally, I discuss individual objects discovered in the Green Bank Telescope 350-MHz Drift-Scan Survey and the Arecibo Pulsar ALFA Survey.

description: We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.3-10keV) spectroscopy yields absorbed power laws with by hard photon indices (G~1-2). Their outburst broad-band (0.3-150 keV) spectra can be fit well with models typically used to describe the X-ray emission from accreting NSs in HMXBs. We assess how long each source spends in each state using a systematic monitoring with a sensitive instrument. These sources spend 3-5% of the total in bright outbursts. The most probable flux is 1-2E-11 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} (2-10 keV, unabsorbed), corresponding to luminosities in the order of a few 10^{33} to 10^{34} erg s^{-1} (two orders of magnitude lower than the bright outbursts). The duty-cycle of inactivity is 19, 39, 55%, for IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619, respectively. We present a complete list of BAT on-board detections further confirming the continued activity of these sources. This demonstrates that true quiescence is a rare state, and that these transients accrete matter throughout their life at different rates. X-ray variability is observed at all timescales and intensities we can probe. Superimposed on the day-to-day variability is intra-day flaring which involves variations up to one order of magnitude that can occur down to timescales as short as ~1ks, and whichcan be explained by the accretion of single clumps composing the donor wind with masses M_cl~0.3-2x10^{19} g.

description: Islam je vjera čiji je osnovni i primarni cilj formiranje dobre, visokomoralne osobe koja boravi, živi i egzistira na Zemlji. Svevišnji Allah, dž.š., se obraća svom miljeniku Muhammedu, s.a.v.s., riječima: „jer ti si, zaista, najljepše ćudi“1 iz spomenutih kur’anskih riječi da se vidjeti da Islam nosi niz moralnih principa usmjerenih na odgoj i obrazovanje ljudske duše. Oni ocrtavaju opće karakteristike odnosa osobe sa bratom čovjekom, odnos prema svijetu koji ga okružuje, odnos sa Stvoriteljem. U kontekstu toga su i kur’anske riječi: „O ljudi, Mi vas od jednog čovjeka i jedne žene stvaramo i na narode i plemena vas dijelimo da biste se upoznali. Najugledniji kod Allaha je onaj koji Ga se najviše boji, Allah, uistinu, sve zna i nije Mu skriveno ništa.“2 Kao i riječi Alejhisselama: „najbolji među ljudima je onaj koji im najviše koristi“3 Čovjek je Allahov namjesnik na zemlji i njegova uloga je od neproceljive važnosti, zato je od krucijalne važnosti da bude koristan član zajednice i društva, a nipokoju cijenu remetilački faktor ili neko ko bi ugrozio i doveo u pitanje lijepi harmoničan život na zemlji.
