Measuring the Impact of Special Collections and Archives in the Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges
Creators: name: Kamposiori, Christina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The unique and distinctive collections held by research libraries have long been recognised as cultural assets to their institutions with strong research and educational potential. Yet, over the past decades, aspects of a fast changing society, such as the digital revolution, and the challenging economic climate have greatly shaped the practices and values of academic and cultural heritage institutions. Many institutions, including research libraries, have been called to respond to the call for openness in scholarship and culture as well as prove their worth and positive impact on society.

This paper presents the outcome of a recent Research Libraries UK (RLUK) project that aimed to explore and understand the approaches employed by our members and close partners for capturing and measuring the impact of activities based on special collections and archives. This work is directly linked to the strategic goals of RLUK for 2018-2021 and constituted part of the activities undertaken during the second phase of the RLUK Special Collections Programme (SCP) (2017-2018).

In the context of this project, we collected and analysed survey and case-study data from across the RLUK membership with the aim of learning more about the pathways to impact followed by special collection and archive professionals in the digital age as well as the characteristics of successful impact cases and the entailed challenges. The results show a shift towards more audience-focused strategies; by employing these approaches, which often include research, teaching and cross-institutional collaborations as well as public engagement activities, research libraries aim to increase physical and digital access to collections and engage with a variety of audience groups. Yet, RLUK members reported that there are still challenges that need to be addressed, such as issues around terminology or the need for more structured methodologies to capture long term impact of collections or better understand how collections and digital resources are used outside institutions. As part of this paper, a number of recommendations based on the key findings of this project will also be presented.
A critique of the statistical protocol in ISO 20072 for aerosol drug delivery device design verification.

description: ISO 20072 is an international standard detailing the methods and testing protocols required to ensure the quality of aerosol drug delivery devices (ADDDs), for use in humans [1]. Our paper examined the pitfalls and errors in this standard, and the difficulties in its application to ADDD-producing factories. We find that the likelihood of many imperfect factories which satisfy the requirements listed in the standard actually passing the prescribed testing is minuscule. We suggest other testing protocols, which achieve the stated goals of the standard. In the specific example we consider, they also reduce the workload by around 25-fold compared with the methods specified in ISO 20072, as well as giving crucial additional advantages.

description: Type-III-burst radio signals can be mimicked in the laboratory via laser-plasma interaction. Instead of an electron beam generating Langmuir waves (LW) in the interplanetary medium, the LWs are created by a laser interacting with a millimeter-sized plasma through the stimulated Raman instability. In both cases, the LWs feed the Langmuir decay instability which scatters them in several directions. The resulting LWs may couple to form electromagnetic emission at twice the plasma frequency, which has been detected in the interplanetary medium, and recently in a laboratory laser experiment [Marquès et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 135001 (2020)]. This article presents the first numerical analysis of this laser configuration using particle-in-cell simulations, providing details on the wave spectra that are too difficult to measure in experiments. The role of some parameters is addressed, with a focus on laser intensity, in order to illustrate the behavior of the electromagnetic emission's angular distribution and polarization.

Electrostatic interactions between interfacial particles
Creators: name: Lyne, Michael Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Finite Element Method (FEM) is employed, using Galerkin weighted residuals, to simulate the electrostatic interactions between interfacial particles in two separate models. The three phase problem of two identical, parallel, infinitely long, solid cylinders at a given separation and each embedded to the same extent in an oil/water interface is considered. It is revealed that due to the asymmetric charge distribution surrounding an interfacial particle, a force (normal to the interface) acts on the particle in the direction of the electrolyte phase. The electrostatic forces acting on the particles normal and parallel to the oil/water interface are calculated and it is found that under certain conditions they may be of comparable magnitude. The Debye-Hiickel form of the Derjaguin method is also applied to this model; this method showed good agreement with the low potential numerical results for the parallel force when the oil/water interface is assumed to be uncharged. Interactions between the cylinders on a constant potential interface are also considered and it is revealed that for some circumstances the magnitude of these interactions will be significantly different from the corresponding interactions on an uncharged interface. For practical situations, however, increases in the interaction force were not large enough to account for a 10⁶kT change in the free energy associated with the interaction. The more complex interaction between particles in a dense, two-dimensional structure on an oil/water interface is simulated using a cell model approach. The normal forces acting on the spheres and the electrostatic free energy change associated with forming the structure are calculated. The normal force per unit of particle perimeter in contact with the oil/water interface is shown to be comparable to that acting on cylinders while the free energy calculations are only accurate enough for order of magnitude estimations. Additionally, to test the effectiveness of the numerical approach, the familiar case of two identical interacting spheres completely immersed in a single electrolyte is modeled for both constant potential and constant charge boundary conditions on the sphere surfaces. The implicit assumption inherent in the Derjaguin method when it is applied to constant charge interactions (i.e. zero potential gradient inside the particle) is examined and found to cause errors of > 10% in cases of low ka and large particle dielectric constants.

description: Context: The long-term carbonate-silicate cycle plays an important role in the evolution of Earth's climate and, therefore, may also be an important mechanism in the evolution of the climates of Earth-like exoplanets. Aims: We investigate the effects of radiogenic mantle heating, core size, and planetary mass on the evolution of the atmospheric partial $CO_2$ pressure, and the ability of a long-term carbon cycle driven by plate tectonics to control the atmospheric $CO_2$ pressure. Methods: We developed a box-model which connects carbon cycling to parametrized mantle convection. The carbon cycle was coupled to the thermal evolution via the plate speed, which depends on the global Rayleigh number. Results: We find decreasing atmospheric $CO_2$ pressure with time, up to an order of magnitude over 10 Gyr. Higher abundances of radioactive isotopes result in higher $CO_2$ pressures. We find a decreasing Rayleigh number and plate speed toward planets with larger core mass fractions $f_c$, which leads to lower atmospheric $CO_2$ pressure. More massive planets may favor the development of more $CO_2$ rich atmospheres due to hotter interiors. Conclusions: The dependence of plate tectonics on mantle cooling has a significant effect on the long-term evolution of the atmospheric $CO_2$ pressure. Carbon cycling mediated by plate tectonics is efficient in regulating planetary climates for a wide range of mantle radioactive isotope abundances, planet masses and core sizes. More efficient carbon cycling on planets with a high mantle abundance of thorium or uranium highlights the importance of mapping the abundances of these elements in host stars of potentially habitable exoplanets. Inefficient carbon recycling on planets with a large core mass fraction ($f_c\gtrsim 0.8$) emphasizes the importance of precise mass-radius measurements of Earth-sized exoplanets.

description: Read it on Medium (recommended).

These past few weeks have been bustling with activity in the field of NLR network biology, with no fewer than eight papers. Let’s dive into a roundup of these developments.

 

Just a few months ago, we put together a comprehensive review of plant immune receptors, specifically the nucleotide binding and leucine rich‐repeat (NLR) class, in an article whimsically titled “Making sense of the alphabet soup.” This title was a nod to the sheer abundance of genes coding for these receptors in plant genomes, numbering in the dozens, if not hundreds. However, our review is already due for an update. In just the recent weeks, no fewer than eight papers have been published, delving into various aspects of the biology of a major NLR network known as the NRC network. Here is a summary of the key advances contributed by this new body of work.
Electrochemical regeneration of ceric sulfate
Creators: name: Been, Jantje
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Ceric sulfate slurries were regenerated electrochemically from cerous sulfate slurries in 1.6 molar sulfuric acid using a labsize tube and wire electrochemical cell. The cell consisted of a platinised titanium tube as the anode and a tungsten wire as the cathode. The reactor was run in a batchwise fashion. The anode to cathode area ratio was eleven. The dissolved ceric sulfate concentration was varied from 0 to 0.5 molar whereas the total cerium concentration was varied from 0.5 to 0.8 molar. The anode current density was varied between 90 and 250 mAmps/cm² with a corresponding cathode current density of 1000 to 2800 mAmps/cm². All runs were conducted at 50 degrees Celsius and atmospheric, or slightly above atmospheric, pressure. In a separate voltametric study, the technique of linear sweep voltammetry was applied to both anode and cathode. Current interruption was used to correct for the iR-drop at the cathode. However, any theoretical or mechanistic modelling attempts based on the obtained kinetic data were unsuccessful. This is attributed to the presence of a highly unstable system due to the presence of adsorption processes at both cathode and anode. The potential and current readings changed with time as the thickness and nature of the adsorbed layer changed. An empirical model, based on the data from the flow reactor, illustrated that an increase in electrolyte velocity (from 1.1 to 2.8 m/sec), an increase in total cerium concentration, or a decrease in the superficial current density gave an increase in the cell current efficiency for cerium(IV). Some other important qualitative findings were: • The dissolved cerous sulfate concentration was found to be a function of the dissolved ceric sulfate concentration as well as the total cerium concentration. • It was observed that the presence of cerium sulfate solids led to an inhibition of mass transfer at the anode, resulting in a reduced electrode current efficiency for cerium(IV). • Adsorption of cerium sulfate species on the cathode inhibits the cerium reduction reaction.The electrode current efficiency for hydrogen was never observed to be lower than 94 percent.
Phase-splitting prediction in isothermal flash calculations
Creators: name: Romero, Alejandro Antonio
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The development of processes that operate at conditions where multiple fluid-phase equilibria may occur demands fast and reliable simulation algorithms. The success of these algorithms depends on the correct prediction of the number and compositions of the phases present at a given temperature, pressure and overall fluid composition. The most commonly used routine for this purpose is the isothermal (single-stage) flash calculation. A robust and efficient method to predict phase-splitting previous to performing an isothermal flash is implemented in this work. It is based on the thermodynamic stability analysis of the source phase using a Gibbs energy tangent-plane criterion. Depending on the outcome of the phase-split tests, the system may be declared stable as a single phase and thus no further calculations are needed, or unstable in which case a potential two- or three-phase solution can be obtained. Only in this last instance would the corresponding flash calculation follow, depending on the nature and quantity of the phases found: a vapour-liquid (VL) or a liquid- liquid (LL) flash if two phases are predicted, or a multiphase flash (VLL) when three phases are expected. In addition to readily recognizing the number and type of phases present, the stability tests provide excellent initial composition estimates for the flash which assure fast convergence to the stable solution. Even though the algorithms developed can be used with any suitable model to calculate equilibrium properties, cubic equations of state are used throughout in this work as a single model to describe all fluid phases.

description: The right(left) derivative, $a^{-1},e-$ and $e,a^{-1}-$ isotopes of a C-loop are shown to be C-loops. Furthermore, for a central loop $(L,F)$, it is shown that $\big\{F,F^{a^{-1}},F_{a^{-1},e}\big\}$ and $\big\{F,F_{a^{-1}},F_{e,a^{-1}}\big\}$ are systems of isotopic C-loops that obey a form of generalized distributive law. Quasigroup isotopes $(L,\otimes)$ and $(L,\ominus)$ of a loop $(L,θ)$ and its parastrophe $(L,θ^*)$ respectively are proved to be isotopic if either $(L,\otimes)$ or $(L,\ominus )$ is commutative. If $(L,θ)$ is a C-loop, then it is shown that $\big\{(L,θ),(L,θ^*),(L,\otimes),(L,\oplus)\big\}$ is a system of isotopic C-quasigroup under the above mentioned condition. It is shown that C-loops are isotopic to some finite indecomposable groups of the classes ${\cal D}_i,i=1,2,3,4,5$ and that the center of such C-loops have a rank of 1,2 or 3.

This interpretation is supported by numerical solutions of the corresponding acoustic wave equation.

This metric represents interiors of black holes on both sides of the brane and can provide gravitational trapping of physical fields on the shell. It is found the analytic form of the coordinate transformations from the Schwartschild to co-moving frame that exists only in five dimensions. It is shown that in the static coordinates active gravitational mass of the spherical brane, in agreement with Tolman's formula, is negative, i.e. such objects are gravitationally repulsive.

description: We present CaII K and TiII optical spectra of early-type stars taken mainly from the UVES Paranal Observatory Project, plus HI 21-cm spectra from the Vila-Elisa and Leiden-Dwingeloo surveys, which are employed to obtain distances to intermediate and high velocity clouds. HI emission at a velocity of -117 km/s towards the sightline HD 30677 with NHI=1.7x10^19 cm-2 has no corresponding CaII K absorption, which has a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 610. The star has a spectroscopically determined distance of 2.7-kpc, and hence sets this as a firm lower distance limit towards Anti-Centre cloud ACII. Towards another sightline (HD 46185), HI at +122 km/s and NHI=1.2x10^19 cm-2 is seen. The CaII K spectrum has a S/N = 780, although no absorption is observed at the cloud velocity. This similarly places a firm lower distance limit of 2.9-kpc towards this parcel of gas that may be an intermediate velocity cloud. The lack of intermediate velocity (IV) CaII K absorption towards HD 196426 at a S/N = 500 reinforces a lower distance limit of 700-pc towards this part of Complex gp, where NHI is 1.1x10^19 cm-2 and velocity is +78 km/s. Additionally, no IV CaII K is seen in absorption in the spectrum of HD 19445, which is strong in HI with NHI=8x10^19 cm-2 at -42 km/s, placing a firm although uninteresting lower distance limit of 39-pc to this part of IV South. Finally, no HV CaII K absorption is seen towards HD 115363 at a S/N = 410, placing a lower distance of 3.2-kpc towards the HVC gas at velocity of +224 km/s and NHI=5.2x10^19 cm-2. This gas is in the same region of the sky as complex WE (Wakker 2001), but at higher velocities. The non-detection of CaII K absorption sets a lower distance of 3.2-kpc towards the HVC, which is unsurprising if this feature is indeed related to the Magellanic System.

description: We present the results of a detailed spectral and temporal analysis of Swift and XMM-Newton observations of the high redshift (z=3.969) GRB 050730. The X-ray afterglow of GRB 050730 was found to decline with time with superimposed intense flaring activity that extended over more than two orders of magnitude in time. Seven distinct re-brightening events starting from 236 s up to 41.2 ks after the burst were observed. The underlying decay of the afterglow was well described by a double broken power-law model with breaks at t_1= 237 +/- 20 s and t_2 = 10.1 (-2.2) (+4.6) ks. The temporal decay slopes before, between and after these breaks were alpha_1 = 2.1 +/- 0.3, alpha_2 = 0.44 (-0.08) (+0.14) and alpha_3 = 2.40 (+0.07) (-0.09), respectively. The spectrum of the X-ray afterglow was well described by a photoelectrically absorbed power-law with an absorbing column density N_H=(1.28 +/- 0.26) 10^22 cm^-2 in the host galaxy. Strong X-ray spectral evolution during the flaring activity was present. In the majority of the flares (6/7) the ratio Delta_t/t_p between the duration of the event and the time when the flare peaks was nearly constant and about 0.6-0.7. We showed that the observed spectral and temporal properties of the first three flares are consistent with being due both to high-latitude emission, as expected if the flares were produced by late internal shocks, or to refreshed shocks, i.e. late time energy injections into the main afterglow shock by slow moving shells ejected from the central engine during the prompt phase. The event fully satisfies the E_p-E_iso Amati relation while is not consistent with the E_p-E_jet Ghirlanda relation.

description: Airway segmentation is a crucial step for the analysis of pulmonary diseases including asthma, bronchiectasis, and emphysema. The accurate segmentation based on X-Ray computed tomography (CT) enables the quantitative measurements of airway dimensions and wall thickness, which can reveal the abnormality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Besides, the extraction of patient-specific airway models from CT images is required for navigation in bronchoscopic-assisted surgery. Due to the fine-grained pulmonary airway structure, manual annotation is however time-consuming, error-prone, and highly relies on the expertise of clinicians. Bruijne et al. [1] held the ‘Extraction of airways from CT (EXACT'09)’ challenge in 2009 and achieved a great contribution to the field of airway segmentation. They focused on semi-automated and automated algorithms mainly based on multi-threshold, template matching, and region growing, aiming to relieve the burden of manual delineation and help clinicians explore the influence of pneumonia on airways. These traditional algorithms face difficulty in extracting small peripheral bronchi and suffer the risk of airway leakage. With the advance of deep learning methods, fully convolutional networks (FCNs) achieved state-of-the-art performance in the segmentation task of volumetric medical data. Most of the deep learning methods are data-driven while the EXACT’09 contains only 20 CT scans for training and 20 CT scans for testing, which is not sufficient for the artificial intelligence era. Hence, it is necessary to progress the airway segmentation task to a higher level. We collected 500 CT scans from multi-sites. The airway tree structures are carefully labeled by three radiologists with more than five years of
 professional experience. Although the amount of dataset is suitable for deep learning methods, the automatic airway segmentation remains challenging, e.g., the inter-class imbalance between airway foreground and background poses the threat to training FCNs with common loss functions, the intra-class imbalance among the trachea, main bronchi, lobar bronchi, and distal segmental bronchi affects the segmentation performance of peripheral bronchi. In conclusion, we encourage the participating teams to design robust algorithms, which can extract the airway tree structure with high topological completeness and accuracy for clinical use.

description: We study the induction and stabilization of spiral structures for the cyclic three-species stochastic May-Leonard model with asymmetric predation rates on a spatially inhomogeneous two-dimensional toroidal lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. In an isolated setting, strongly asymmetric predation rates lead to rapid extinction from coexistence of all three species to a single surviving population. Even for weakly asymmetric predation rates, only a fraction of ecologies in a statistical ensemble manages to maintain full three-species coexistence. However, when the asymmetric competing system is coupled via diffusive proliferation to a fully symmetric May-Leonard patch, the stable spiral patterns from this region induce transient plane-wave fronts and ultimately quasi-stationary spiral patterns in the vulnerable asymmetric region. Thus the endangered ecological subsystem may effectively become stabilized through immigration from even a much smaller stable region. To describe the stabilization of spiral population structures in the asymmetric region, we compare the increase in the robustness of these topological defects at extreme values of the asymmetric predation rates in the spatially coupled system with the corresponding asymmetric May-Leonard model in isolation. We delineate the quasi-stationary nature of coexistence induced in the asymmetric subsystem by its diffusive coupling to a symmetric May-Leonard patch, and propose a (semi-)quantitative criterion for the spiral oscillations to be sustained in the asymmetric region.

description: A PopIII/Pop II transition from massive to normal stars is predicted to occur when the metallicity of the star forming gas crosses the critical range Z_cr = 10^(-5 +/- 1) Z_sun. To investigate the cosmic implications of such process we use numerical simulations which follow the evolution, metal enrichment and energy deposition of both Pop III and Pop II stars. We find that: (i) due to inefficient heavy element transport by outflows and slow "genetic" transmission during hierarchical growth, large fluctuations around the average metallicity arise; as a result Pop III star formation continues down to z=2.5, but at a low peak rate of 10^-5 M_sun yr^-1 Mpc^-3 occurring at z~6 (about 10^-4 of the PopII one); (ii) Pop III star formation proceeds in a "inside-out" mode in which formation sites are progressively confined at the periphery of collapsed structures, where the low gas density and correspondingly long free-fall timescales result in a very inefficient astration. These conclusions strongly encourage deep searches for pristine star formation sites at moderate (2

description: We present a deep photometric survey of M31, conducted with the CFHT and INT, covering the inner 50 kpc of the galaxy, the Southern quadrant out to 150 kpc, and extending to M33. This is the first systematic panoramic study of this very outermost region of galaxies. We detect several streams and other large-scale structures, and two new dwarf galaxies: And XV and XVI. The discovery of substructure on the minor axis, together with the fact that the light profile between 0.5 < R < 1.3 follows the exponential ``extended disk'', is particularly important in shedding light on the mixed and sometimes conflicting results reported in previous studies. Underlying the substructures lies a faint, metal-poor, smooth and extremely extended halo, reaching out to at least 150 kpc. The smooth halo component in M31 has a profile that can be fit with a Hernquist model of immense scale radius ~55 kpc, almost a factor of 4 larger than theoretical predictions. Alternatively a power-law with exponent -1.91 +/- 0.11 can be fit to the profile. The total luminosity of this structure is similar to that of the halo of the Milky Way. This vast, smooth, underlying halo is reminiscent of a classical monolithic model and completely unexpected from modern galaxy formation models. M33 is also found to have an extended metal-poor halo component, which can be fit with a Hernquist model also of scale radius ~55 kpc. These extended slowly-decreasing halos will provide a challenge and strong constraints for further modeling. [Abridged]

description: The question of how the low-energy properties of disordered quantum systems may be connected to exotic localization phenomena at high energy is a key open question in the context of quantum glasses and many-body localization. In arXiv:2105.05774 we have shown that key features of the excitation spectrum of a disordered system can be efficiently probed from out-of-equilibrium dynamics following a quantum quench, providing distinctive signatures of the various phases. Here, we extend this work by providing a more in-depth study of the behavior of the quench spectral functions associated to different observables and investigating an extended parameter regime. We provide a detailed introduction to quench spectroscopy for disordered systems and show how spectral properties can be probed using both local operators and two-point correlation functions. We benchmark the technique using the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of a random external potential, focusing on the low-lying excitations, and demonstrate that quench spectroscopy can distinguish the Mott insulator, superfluid, and Bose glass phases. We then explicitly reconstruct the zero-temperature phase diagram of the disordered Bose-Hubbard at fixed filling using two independent methods, both experimentally accessible via time-of-flight imaging and quantum gas microscopy respectively, and demonstrate that quench spectroscopy can give valuable insights as to the distribution of rare regions within disordered systems.

Mechanical properties of tracheal cartilage
Creators: name: Rains, Jeffrey K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Large airways collapse has been implicated as one of the causes of maximal expiratory flow limitation. Since cartilage plays an important role in maintaining the form of these airways, an understanding of the mechanical properties of the cartilage is necessary for a better understanding of the mechanisms which limit maximal expiratory flow. This work establishes a technique whereby the tensile stiffness of human tracheal cartilage can be determined using uniaxial equilibrium tensile tests. A technique was developed in which standard shaped specimens were cut from tracheal cartilage rings and tested in a specially designed tensile tester in order to determine the stress-strain relationship of the specimen. The stress-strain relationship of the cartilage test specimens was found to be linear up to approximately 10 % strain. However, irreversible disruption of the cartilage matrix occurred at strains greater than 10 %. The tensile stiffness of the tracheal cartilage fell in the range 1-20 MPa and was found to decrease with increasing depth from the outer surface of the tissue. This layer-wise variation in tensile stiffness reflected the orientation of the collagen fibrils in the tissue. An age-related increase in the tensile stiffness of tracheal cartilage was found. This age-related change in tensile stiffness may reflect an increase in collagen cross-linking in specimens from older individuals. A possible bias of the test method toward the measurement of the mechanical properties of the collagen fibrils, as opposed the combined effects of the collagen and proteoglycans, was suspected. However, to the extent that equilibrium tensile testing reflects the ability of tracheal cartilage to bend in response to alterations in transmural pressure, these results suggest that age-related changes in large airway cartilage stiffness are not the cause of the age-related decrease in maximal expiratory flow.
Using conceptual metaphor and functional grammar to explore how language used in physics affects student learning

description: This paper introduces a theory about the role of language in learning physics. The theory is developed in the context of physics students' and physicists' talking and writing about the subject of quantum mechanics. We found that physicists' language encodes different varieties of analogical models through the use of grammar and conceptual metaphor. We hypothesize that students categorize concepts into ontological categories based on the grammatical structure of physicists' language. We also hypothesize that students over-extend and misapply conceptual metaphors in physicists' speech and writing. Using our theory, we will show how, in some cases, we can explain student difficulties in quantum mechanics as difficulties with language.

description: The characterization of excitations in disordered quantum systems is a central issue in connection with glass physics and many-body localization. Here, we show that quench spectroscopy of a disordered model, as realized from its out-of-equilibrium dynamics following a global quench, allows us to fully characterize the spectral properties of the disordered phases. In the Bose-Hubbard model, a clear signature of gapless excitations in momentum-resolved spectroscopy enables us to accurately locate the Mott insulator to Bose glass transition, while the presence or absence of a well-defined soundlike mode distinguishes the superfluid from the Bose glass phase. Moreover, spatially-resolved spectroscopy provides local spectral properties and allows us to extract the typical spacing of gapless regions, giving a second independent way to uniquely identify all three phases. Our findings have far-ranging implications for a variety of experimental platforms, and offer a powerful and versatile probe of the low-energy phases of disordered systems.
