description: We present new optical imaging and spectroscopy of the peculiar, edge-on Sbc galaxy UGC10043. B & R imaging reveals that the inner bulge of UGC10043 is elongated perpendicular to the major axis. At larger r, the bulge isophotes twist to become oblate and nearly circular, suggesting the bulge is triaxial. Based on stellar and ionized gas kinematics, the bulge shows no clear evidence for rotation about either its major or minor axis. The southwestern quadrant of the bulge is girdled by a narrow dust lane parallel to the minor axis that may be part of an inner polar ring. The stellar disk of UGC10043 has a low optical surface brightness, a small scale height, a mild integral sign warp, and a dusty, inner region that appears tilted relative to the outlying disk. The HA and [NII] emission lines in UGC10043 resolve into multiple velocity components, indicating the presence of a large-scale galactic wind with an outflow velocity of ~104 km/s. HA+[NII] imaging reaffirms this picture by revealing ionized gas extended to |z|~3.5kpc in a biconical structure. The [NII]/HA line intensity ratio increases with increasing distance from the plane, reaching values as high as 1.7. Unlike most galaxies with large-scale winds, UGC10043 has only a modest global star formation rate (~1M_sun/yr), implying the wind is powered by a rather feeble central starburst. We discuss evolutionary scenarios that could account for both the structural complexities of UGC10043 and its large-scale wind. [Abridged]

description: Image landmark detection aims to automatically identify the locations of predefined fiducial points. Despite recent success in this field, higher-ordered structural modeling to capture implicit or explicit relationships among anatomical landmarks has not been adequately exploited. In this work, we present a new topology-adapting deep graph learning approach for accurate anatomical facial and medical (e.g., hand, pelvis) landmark detection. The proposed method constructs graph signals leveraging both local image features and global shape features. The adaptive graph topology naturally explores and lands on task-specific structures which are learned end-to-end with two Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). Extensive experiments are conducted on three public facial image datasets (WFLW, 300W, and COFW-68) as well as three real-world X-ray medical datasets (Cephalometric (public), Hand and Pelvis). Quantitative results comparing with the previous state-of-the-art approaches across all studied datasets indicating the superior performance in both robustness and accuracy. Qualitative visualizations of the learned graph topologies demonstrate a physically plausible connectivity laying behind the landmarks.

title: Cellular immune responses to the cysteine-rich interdomain region-1-alpha (CIDR-1α) of Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PFEMP-1)
Creators: name: Ndung'u, Francis Maina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: During the erythrocytic cycle, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, inserts its own molecules into the membrane of the infected red blood cell (Pf- iRBC). One of these molecules, Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein-1 (PfEMP-1) belong to a large gene family (Var) with around 60 copies per haploid genome distributed in all chromosomes. Far genes show extreme diversity but all contain a number of domains displaying homology to the previously described Duffy Binding Like (DBL) molecules or in the case of CD36 binding, to another relatively conserved region, the Cysteine Rich Interdomain Region (CIDR-la). Due to their surface location, antigenicity and involvement in pathogenesis of severe malaria, these molecules form an important candidate for a malaria vaccine.
Previously, we studied the CD4 T cell response to relatively conserved recombinant segments expressed from three different domains of PfEMP-1: EXON 2, CIDR-la and DBL-a. We measured in vitro CD4 T cell proliferation, Interferon- (IFN)-y and Interleukin (IL)-10 production in peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC). Only responses to EXON 2 and DBL-a were associated with exposure to malaria. The response to CIDR-la was striking in that both exposed and non-exposed donors responded similarly. In the studies presented here, the cell phenotypes responding to CIDR-la, the cytokines they make and their kinetics were analysed. In addition, the requirements for HLA restriction and T Cell Receptor (TCR) engagement for the CD4 T cell and IFN-y responses were investigated.
CIDR-la activated human myeloid DCs in either whole PBMC or separately (isolated DC) to produce IL-10, IL-12 and IL-18. The IL-10 and IL-18 responses could be reproduced with intact Pf-iRBC. IL-10 and IL-12 were produced with different kinetics highlighting the need for time course experiments in studies investigating cytokine production by DCs. The IFN-y response to CIDR-la in malaria-unexposed individuals was largely independent of MHC class II/TCR engagement whilst both the CD4 T cell and IFN-y responses in malaria-exposed donors were MHC class II restricted. These findings suggest that the CD4 T cell response to CIDR-la in malaria semi-immune adults has an element of immunological memory on top of the pre-existing responses seen in the malaria- unexposed adult.
Defective Vortex Lattices in Layered Superconductors with Point Pins at the Extreme Type-II Limit

description: The mixed phase of layered superconductors with no magnetic screening is studied through a partial duality analysis of the corresponding frustrated XY model in the presence of weak random point pins. Isolated layers exhibit a defective vortex lattice at low temperature that is phase coherent. Sufficiently weak Josephson coupling between adjacent layers results in an entangled vortex solid that exhibits weak superconductivity across layers. The corresponding vortex liquid state shows an inverted specific heat anomaly that we propose accounts for that seen in YBCO. A three-dimensional vortex lattice with dislocations occurs at stronger coupling. This crossover sheds light on the apparent discrepancy concerning the observation of a vortex-glass phase in recent Monte Carlo simulations of the same XY model.

Bellum Civile

description: Ξεκινώντας από την άποψη του Henderson, ο οποίος υποστήριξε ότι το Bellum Civile βρίσκεται σε διαρκή πόλεμο με τον ίδιο του τον εαυτό και ότι το έργο αυτό κυμαίνεται μεταξύ δημιουργίας και καταστροφής, η εργασία αυτή είχε ως κύριο στόχο να αποδείξει ότι η σκηνή της νεκρομαντείας και συγκεκριμένα ο νεκρός στρατιώτης και η προφητεία του καθρεφτίζουν αυτόν τον απροσδόκητο τρόπο με τον οποίο κατασκευάζεται το έπος. Το πρώτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το κείμενο θρυμματίζεται σε μικρά κομμάτια, πως η γλώσσα του αποδομείται και οι λέξεις χάνουν την πραγματική τους σημασία. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο επικεντρώνεται στην μορφή του Καίσαρα και στο γεγονός ότι το έργο του μέσα στο έπος φέρει πολλά κοινά σημεία με αυτό του ποιητή καθώς χαρακτηρίζεται από την ίδια σύζευξη των αντίθετων εννοιών της δημιουργίας και της καταστροφής. Τέλος, το τρίτο κεφάλαιο αναλύει την σκηνή της προφητείας και το πως ο νεκρός στρατιώτης μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ως μια μεταφορά για το ίδιο το Bellum Civile
description: Starting with Henderson’s view that Bellum Civile is at constant war with itshelf and that the poem fluctuates between creation and destruction, this paper aims to illustrate how the scene of necromancy and in particular the dead soldier and his’ prophecy mirror the unexpected way in which this epic is being constructed. The first chapter deals with the way that the poem crumbles into small pieces, how its language is being deconstructed and finally how the words lose their true meaning. The next chapter focuses on Caesar and the fact that his work in the poem bares many similarities to that of the poet himself, given the fact that Caesar’s deeds are defined by the same conjunction of the two opposite notions of creation and destruction. Last but not least, the third chapter analyzes the prophecy scene and how the dead soldier can function as a potent metaphor for the poem
Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the gl(1$|$2) generalized model II: the three gradings
Creators: name: Göhmann, Frank

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The algebraic Bethe ansatz can be performed rather abstractly for whole classes of models sharing the same $R$-matrix, the only prerequisite being the existence of an appropriate pseudo vacuum state. Here we perform the algebraic Bethe ansatz for all models with $9 \times 9$, rational, gl(1$|$2)-invariant $R$-matrix and all three possibilities of choosing the grading. Our Bethe ansatz solution applies, for instance, to the supersymmetric t-J model, the supersymmetric $U$ model and a number of interesting impurity models. It may be extended to obtain the quantum transfer matrix spectrum for this class of models. The properties of a specific model enter the Bethe ansatz solution (i.e. the expression for the transfer matrix eigenvalue and the Bethe ansatz equations) through the three pseudo vacuum eigenvalues of the diagonal elements of the monodromy matrix which in this context are called the parameters of the model.

title: Simulations of Neocortical Columnar Oscillations
Creators: name: Colenso, Richard Jon Arthur
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: The intentionof this thesis is to examine the role of the neocortical local drcuit in supporting synchronisatLon and fast (gamma) oscUlation. The aim is to include stereotypical features of the local neocortex in model simulations of cortical activity. Modelling is hmitedby scale in number and detail. Model features include three neurontypes(RS, FS and IB) andsynapses with three time courses takenfrom reportedtri-phasic PSPs (fEPSP, flPSP andsIPSP). Cell types and synapses are distributedin a two layer model.

 The contribution of the layers to columnactivity is investigated. The upperlayer has a tendancy towardspredse synchronisation and can dominate the activity producing synchronisation and oscillation in the whole column. This is attributed to the stronger inhibitory circuit in the upperlayer. The lower layer achieves a less precise synchronisatiorv this is attributed to a lower level of inhibition and the intraburst duration of IB neurons.

 The significance of this difference in the temporal properties of the two layers is discussed in relation to existing theories andmodels of local cortical function. Following a further consideration of local cortical physiology a new model of cortical functioning is proposed. The key features of this model include: the generation of local oscillations in a vertical interlarninar reciprocal circuit; the apical dendrite providing a sharp coincidence detection functionbetweenthe layers; slow axonal lateral propagationprovidinga time delay network; apical dendrites of bursting cells (CH and IB) providing coincidence detectionbetweenmputs 6:0m distant areas (layer 1 inputs) and local activity; bursting cell innervationof intemeurons, linking the local oscillation cy de to coinddence detection. This moddis termed an'intrinsically osdllating time coding networld (lOTCN). Specific predictions are made concerning the functiorungof the local circuit m neocortex, and the connectivity of CH neurons.

Wayfaring : a guiding concept in teaching, learning, and living
Creators: name: Wotherspoon, Megan S.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Ingold (2009) uses the term wayfaring to illustrate the embodied experience of movement. This paper explores wayfaring as a guiding concept to inform beliefs and values about teaching and learning, paralleling the lived experience of thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). This trail is a 4265 km mountain footpath stretching from the Canadian-US border to the US-Mexican border. Walking brings us “‘in’ the world, integrating body and space coextensively” (Springgay & Truman, 2017, p. 30). Using the guiding concept of wayfaring, I discovered points of learning and transformation through my hiking experience and applied them to pedagogic discourse. I captured data phenomenological through journals, voice recordings, and photographs, and I integrated recollections, memories, and contemplative photography into my writing through narrative and a/r/tography. I used Ingold’s (2009, 2011) idea of wayfaring as a guiding concept to place my beliefs about curriculum and pedagogy. This self-study, based in interpretivist and ecological research paradigms, adds to the body of knowledge of many ways of knowing, transformative pedagogy and human ecology, where the aim is for people to live optimal and sustainable lives while honouring multiplicity and interrelatedness (Peterat, 2008). In transformative pedagogy, our first step is to begin with self –if we are not first transformed, then we cannot ask others to be. Personal transformation is one of my goals as a teacher and as a wayfarer journeying through lived experience.

description: We investigate whether the force and torque exerted by light pressure on an irregularly shaped dielectric resonator allow to detect resonant frequencies, delivering information complemental to the scattering cross section by mechanical means. The peak-to-valley ratio in the torque signal can be many times larger than in the scattering cross section, and, furthermore, depends on the structure of the resonance wave pattern. The far-field emission pattern of the associated quasi-bound states can be tested by the angular dependence of the mechanical probes at finite amplification rate. We relate the force and torque to the scattering matrix and present numerical results for an annularly shaped dielectric resonator.

description: The computation of wave-energy distributions in the mid-to-high frequency regime can be reduced to ray-tracing calculations. Solving the ray-tracing problem in terms of an operator equation for the energy density leads to an inhomogeneous equation which involves a Perron-Frobenius operator defined on a suitable Sobolev space. Even for fairly simple geometries, let alone realistic scenarios such as typical boundary value problems in room acoustics or for mechanical vibrations, numerical approximations are necessary. Here we study the convergence of approximation schemes by rigorous methods. For circular billiards we prove that convergence of finite-rank approximations using a Fourier basis follows a power law where the power depends on the smoothness of the source distribution driving the system. The relevance of our studies for more general geometries is illustrated by numerical examples.

description: A four-state mutation-selection model for the evolution of populations of DNA-sequences is investigated with particular interest in the phenomenon of error thresholds. The mutation model considered is the Kimura 3ST mutation scheme, fitness functions, which determine the selection process, come from the permutation-invariant class. Error thresholds can be found for various fitness functions, the phase diagrams are more interesting than for equivalent two-state models. Results for (small) finite sequence lengths are compared with those for infinite sequence length, obtained via a maximum principle that is equivalent to the principle of minimal free energy in physics.

description: There is an urgent need for smart solutions in the building sector that provide robust but climate-sensitive functionality for sustainable buildings. Adaptive façades are part of this solution. They are designed to actively regulate the exchange of material and energy flows, improving the balance between comfort and energy consumption. However, their current technical complexity leads to higher development effort, maintenance and costs. Embedded and material-considerate adaptability could be an approach to reduce these drawbacks. If embedded adaptability is to work, it must become part of the design. Nature offers fascinating examples of how the particularities of geometry and material arrangements can contribute to adaptive functionality.
In her presentation, Susanne Gosztonyi highlights her approach to the systematic, function-oriented transfer of thermo-adaptive principles from nature to the early design stage of façade systems, the so-called physiomimetic façade design. She discusses how biomimetics can be combined with building physics and architectural engineering, and how this can help reducing technical complexity while maintaining functionality, and increase the robustness and resilience of adaptive facades.

To better understand the mechanisms underlying political polarization, we develop a mathematical framework and employ information-theoretic concepts to analyze empirical data on political polarization that has been collected by Pew Research Center from 1994 to 2017. Our framework can capture the evolution of polarization in the Democratic- and Republican-leaning segments of the U.S. public and allows us to identify its drivers. Our findings provide empirical and quantitative evidence that political polarization in the U.S. is mainly driven by strong and more left-leaning policy/cultural innovations in the Democratic party.

Measurements of Moments of the Hadronic Mass Distribution in Semileptonic B Decays
Creators: name: Aubert, B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report a measurement of the first four moments of the hadronic mass distribution in B --> X_c lv decays. The measurements are based on 89 million Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar events where the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons is fully reconstructed and a charged lepton from the decay of the other B meson is identified. The moments are presented for minimum lepton momenta ranging from 0.9 to 1.6 GeV in the B rest frame. It is expected that such measurements will lead to improved determinations of |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|.

Preschool outcomes in infants born less than or equal to 25 weeks gestational age : an integrative review of the literature
Creators: name: Colby, Lindsay Bryant
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Aim: To conduct an integrative review of the outcome literature for preterm infants born ≦25 weeks gestation at preschool age and synthesize the findings with available outcome data from BC Women’s Hospital Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic with a critical lens for its utility to nurses speaking with parents. Methods: Whittemore and Knafl’s methodology for integrative reviews was used. An electronic search of four databases, MEDLINE (OVID), CINAHL, PsycINFO and EBM Reviews was conducted using 96 key words that acknowledged a wide scope of outcomes, including neurodevelopmental outcomes, physical and health outcomes, functional outcomes, and parent/teacher-reports of outcomes. The selection criteria were articles that: differentiated the reporting of outcomes of infants ≦25 weeks gestation from other groups; included a clear description of assessment protocols, impairment definitions, population characteristics, and medical treatments; and were published in English between January 2006 and August 2016. Of 1237 identified abstracts, 87 articles were selected and 78 were excluded. Nine studies were included in the data set. Articles were characterized using these variables: assessment age, assessment tools, impairment definition, and reporting for gestational ages. Individual study results were categorized using these headings: survival with or without impairment, impairment rates, developmental quotients, motor function, cognitive function, behaviour, sensory-communication function, growth, and health. Results: Integration of the study findings with results from the BC Women’s Hospital Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic was limited by the small article sample size and the heterogeneity of the sample set. Results were integrated for moderate-severe impairment, gestational age, overall development, and growth. Gaps were found in outcomes that included children’s cognition, behaviour, and health, and parents’ perceptions. A thematic analysis produced four themes: correlates of outcomes, comorbidities, message framing, and factors that affect reporting outcomes and interpreting data. Conclusion: Findings from the integrative review revealed both positive and negative outcomes for EPT infants. The findings suggest that, in addition to published empirical results, interpreted unit-specific outcome data following reporting guidelines, be presented from a balanced perspective. Acknowledging infants’ potential for healthy development and recognizing parents’ need for hope underpins effective nurse-family communication regarding extremely premature infants’ developmental outcomes and selection of appropriate nursing interventions.
A twisted conformal field theory description of dissipative quantum mechanics

description: We show how the recently proposed CFT for a bilayer Quantum Hall system at filling nu=m/pm+2, the Twisted Model (TM), is equivalent to the system of two massless scalar bosons with a magnetic boundary interaction as introduced in Nucl. Phys. B443 (1995) 444, at the so called magic points. We are then able to describe, within such a framework, the dissipative quantum mechanics of a particle confined to a plane and subject to an external magnetic field normal to it. Such an analogy is further developed in terms of the TM boundary states, by describing the interaction between an impurity with a Hall system.

description: A boron impurity in silicon binding an extra hole is known to have only one bound state at an energy of just below 2 meV. The nature of the Si:B^+ ground state is however not well established. We qualitatively analyze the behavior in a magnetic field of isolated acceptors in a tetrahedral lattice binding two holes using group theory. Applying these results, we analyze recent measurements and conclude that the ground state of B^+ is most compatible with a non-degenerate Gamma_1 state.

description: Luescher's finite size mass shift formula in a periodic finite volume, involving forward scattering amplitudes in the infinite volume, is revisited for the two stable distinguishable particle system. The generalized mass shift formulae for the boson and fermion are derived in the boson-boson and fermion-boson systems, respectively. The nucleon mass shift formula is given in the nucleon-pion system and the relation to the computation within chiral perturbation theory is discussed.

 Type material. Tachyusa opaca Bernhauer. Holotype: ♀: Borneo, Matang, 7.XII.1913, Moulton, Tachyusa opaca Bernh. typus unic. (FMNH).
 Tachyusa asperata Cameron. Lectotype: ♂: Mt. Dulit, 3000 ft., T. asperata Cam. (BMNH).
 Comments. A comparison between the types and additional specimens, showed that Tachyusa asperata is conspecific with Tachyusa opaca, and consequently a junior synonym of the latter. Based on the abdomen weakly constricted at base, the abdominal basal transverse impressions indistinctly impressed, the very long antennae with all antennomeres elongate and the labrum with deeply emarginated apical margin, the species is transferred to the genus Thinonoma.

Quantum chaos and the double-slit experiment

description: We report on the numerical simulation of the double-slit experiment, where the initial wave-packet is bounded inside a billiard domain with perfectly reflecting walls. If the shape of the billiard is such that the classical ray dynamics is regular, we obtain interference fringes whose visibility can be controlled by changing the parameters of the initial state. However, if we modify the shape of the billiard thus rendering classical (ray) dynamics fully chaotic, the interference fringes disappear and the intensity on the screen becomes the (classical) sum of intensities for the two corresponding one-slit experiments. Thus we show a clear and fundamental example in which transition to chaotic motion in a deterministic classical system, in absence of any external noise, leads to a profound modification in the quantum behaviour.

Quantum and Classical Binomial Distributions for the Charge Transmitted through Coherent Conductor
Creators: name: Lesovik, G. B.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We discuss controversial results for the statistics of charge transport through coherent conductors. Two distribution functions for the charge transmitted was obtained previously, first by L.Levitov and G.Lesovik, [JETP Letters Vol.55 p.555 (1992)] and the other initially by the same authors [ibid. Vol.58 p.230 (1993)], and later the result was reproduced by several authors. The latter distribution functions actually coincides with classical binomial distribution (though obtained purely quantum mechanically) former (result of 1992) is different and we call it here quantum binomial distribution. The two distribution function represent two opposite universal limits - one is purely quantum, where interference is important, and the other is semiclassical, where interference is smeared out. We show, that high order charge correlators, determined by the either distribution functions, can all be measured in different setups. The high order current correlators, starting the third order, reveal (missed in previous studies) special oscillating frequency dependence on the scale of the inverted time flight from the obstacle to the measuring point. Depending on setup, the oscillating terms give substantially different contributions.
