description: Chondrites are rocky fragments of asteroids that formed at different times and heliocentric distances in the early solar system. Most chondrite groups contain water-bearing minerals, attesting that both water-ice and dust were accreted on their parent asteroids. Nonetheless, the hydrogen isotopic composition (D/H) of water in the different chondrite groups remains poorly constrained, due to the intimate mixture of hydrated minerals and organic compounds, the other main H-bearing phase in chondrites. Building on our recent works using in situ secondary ion mass spectrometry analyses, we determined the H isotopic composition of water in a large set of chondritic samples (CI, CM, CO, CR, and C-ungrouped carbonaceous chondrites) and report that water in each group shows a distinct and unique D/H signature. Based on a comparison with literature data on bulk chondrites and their water and organics, our data do not support a preponderant role of parent-body processes in controlling the D/H variations among chondrites. Instead, we propose that the water and organic D/H signatures were mostly shaped by interactions between the protoplanetary disk and the molecular cloud that episodically fed the disk over several million years. Because the preservation of D-rich interstellar water and/or organics in chondritic materials is only possible below their respective sublimation temperatures (160 and 350-450 K), the H isotopic signatures of chondritic materials depend on both the timing and location at which their parent body formed.
The copper-zinc superoxide dismutase gene from Drosophila melanogaster : attempts to clone the gene using two mixed sequence oligonucleotide probes
Creators: name: Seto, Nina Oi Ling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme which scavenges superoxide radicals and is thought to be a longevity determinant, as there exists a positive correlation between superoxide dismutase concentration and maximum life span potential. The cytosolic CuZn superoxide dismutase in D. melanogaster has been purified and sequenced, but the gene has not been cloned. However, when it is available the CuZn SOD gene may be reintroduced into the Drosophila genome via the P-element transformation system so its effects on the life span potential of Drosophila may be studied. This study describes attempts to clone the CuZn SOD gene from D. melanogaster using two mixed sequence oligonucleotide probes. The SI probe corresponds to amino acids 43-48 of the protein sequence and contains 128 different oligonucleotide sequences representing all possible codon combinations predicted from the amino acid sequence. The GT3 probe is targeted to amino acids 90-95 of the protein. In this probe, deoxyguanosine was placed in positions where all four nucleotides may occur to decrease probe heterogeneity. The probes were used to screen D. melanogaster Canton-S and Oregon-R genomic lambda libraries. Three positive clones isolated from the Canton-S library had identical nucleotide sequence in the GT3 probe binding region, and sequencing of the probe binding site revealed that one member of the GT3 probe had formed a 15 bp duplex with the phage DNA. Screening of the Oregon-R library produced four clones which hybridized with both GT3 and S1 probes. When these phage DNA were hybridized to polytene chromosomes by in situ hybridization, none mapped to 68AB on the third chromosome, the location of the CuZn SOD gene. These results suggest that modification of the classical strategy used in this study is necessary, and implications on probe design are discussed.

Ab initio simulation of photoemission spectroscopy in solids: Plane-wave pseudopotential approach, with applications to normal-emission spectra of Cu(001) and Cu(111)

description: We introduce a new method for simulating photoemission spectra from bulk crystals in the ultra-violet energy range, within a three-step model. Our method explicitly accounts for transmission and matrix-element effects, as calculated from state-of-the-art plane-wave pseudopotential techniques within density-functional theory. Transmission effects, in particular, are included by extending to the present problem a technique previously employed with success to deal with ballistic conductance in metal nanowires. The spectra calculated for normal emission in Cu(001) and Cu(111) are in fair agreement with previous theoretical results and with experiments, including a newly determined spectrum. The residual discrepancies between our results and the latter are mainly due to the well-known deficiencies of density-functional theory in accounting for correlation effects in quasi-particle spectra. A significant improvement is obtained by the LDA+U method. Further improvements are obtained by including surface-optics corrections, as described by Snell's law and Fresnel's equations.

Insect growth inhibitors from asteraceous plant extracts
Creators: name: Salloum, Gregory Stewart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Petrol and ethanolic extracts of six asteraceous weeds were added to artificial diet and screened for inhibition of larval growth on variegated cutworm, Peridroma saucia (Hbn.). Petrol and ethanolic extracts of Artemisia tridentata and Chamomilla suaveolens and ethanolic extracts of Chrysothamnus nauseosus and Centaurea diffusa were highly inhibitory at five times the naturally occurring concentrations. The two C. suaveolens extracts and the ethanol extract of A. tridentata were active at the natural concentration (100%) and were further examined at 20, 40, 60, and 80% of this level. Inhibition of larval growth was directly related to concentration for each of the three extracts tested. EC₅₀'S (effective concentration to inhibit growth by 50% relative to controls) for the three extracts were 36-42% of the naturally occurring level in the plants. Nutritional indices were calculated for second instar P. saucia feeding on the active ethanolic A. tridentata extract and the petrol extract from C. suaveolens. The relative growth rate (RGR) of P. saucia larvae fed the ethanolic extract of A. tridentata in artificial diet was significantly lower than that in larvae fed diet with the petrol extract of C. suaveolens and larvae on control diet. Dietary utilization was significantly lower for larvae fed the A. tridentata extract. Results of a field trial indicated that a single treatment of A. tridentata extract at the equivalent of 0.2 g/ml could protect cabbage significantly better than the carrier solvent (30% aq ethanol) or distilled water as measured by a visual damage estimate. An insecticide standard, deltamethrin (17.9 µg/1 with 0.4% Superspred TM ), suppressed pest damage significantly better than the A. tridentata-extract treatment. A residual oviposition deterrency to Pieris rapae was found in the field results. Caged experiments in the laboratory confirmed the contact oviposition deterrency of the A. tridentata extract at 0.2 g/ml. Offspring of field-collected P. saucia larvae grew 2.5-fold heavier than larvae from the laboratory colony. However, diet with the A. tridentata extract inhibited both field-collected and laboratory reared saucia larvae equally when compared to their respective controls fed untreated diet. In summary, these results indicate the potential benefit of using specific unrefined plant extracts for growth inhibitors and oviposition deterrents against insect pests. The contribution of individual phytochemicals in the A. tridentata ethanolic extract to growth inhibition or oviposition deterrency is currently speculative.

description: Translationally invariant flatband Hamiltonians with interactions lead to a many-body localization transition. Our models are obtained from single particle lattices hosting a mix of flat and dispersive bands, and equipped with fine-tuned two--body interactions. Fine-tuning of the interaction results in an extensive set of local conserved charges and a fragmentation of the Hilbert space into irreducible sectors. In each sector, the conserved charges originate from the flatband and act as an effective disorder inducing a transition between ergodic and localized phases upon variation of the interaction strength. Such fine-tuning is possible in arbitrary lattice dimensions and for any many-body statistics. We present computational evidence for this transition with spinless fermions.

description: The spectacular metal-to-insulator transition of V2O3 can be progressively suppressed in thin film samples. Evidence for phase separation was observed using microbridges as a mesoscopic probe of transport properties where the same film possesses domains that exhibit a metal-to-insulator transition with clear first order features or remain metallic down to low temperatures. A simple model consisting of two parallel resistors can be used to quantify a phase coexistence scenario explaining the measured macroscopic transport properties. The interaction between film and substrate is the most plausible candidate to explain this extended phase coexistence as shown by a correlation between the transport properties and the structural data.

Perinatal Psychological Distress in Malawi and the Impact of Group Antenatal Care
Creators: name: Desloge, Allissa
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Background: Perinatal mental health has become a priority issue globally due to its relationship with adverse maternal and infant outcomes. One intervention that has shown preliminary evidence for impacting perinatal mental health is group antenatal care (ANC). This model allows for 8-12 pregnant individuals to attend ANC in a group facilitated by one midwife and one community volunteer. Each session includes a health assessment and interactive learning sessions. Though not a psychological intervention, this model of care strives to improve patient empowerment, build trusting patient-provider relationships, and increase connectedness among women of similar gestational ages. The impact of group ANC on mental health has been studied in HICs, but this relationship has been underexplored in LMICs. This work used data from a randomized-controlled trial in Blantyre District, Malawi to address this gap.

Methods: Eligible participants (n=1886) across seven clinics were randomly assigned to group ANC or individual ANC. Data was collected through a survey at four time points: mid-pregnancy, late-pregnancy, 2-months postpartum, and 6-months postpartum. Data on psychological distress was collected at all four time points using the 20-item Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), which has been translated into the local language, Chichewa, and validated among pregnant women in Malawi. All data analysis was done using SAS software.

Results: Participants who were HIV positive, who had experienced food insecurity in the last year, who were not in a relationship, who attended a rural/peri-urban clinic, and who were younger age experienced higher distress during mid-pregnancy compared to those who were HIV negative, who had not experienced food insecurity, who were in a relationship, who attended an urban clinic, and who were older age, respectively. Individuals who were primiparous, who had experienced food insecurity, and who were not in a relationship experienced increased odds of depression symptoms during mid-pregnancy, while those with higher levels of education experienced decreased odds. Individuals participating in group ANC experienced a greater decrease in psychological distress between mid- and late-pregnancy compared to those in individual ANC. Longitudinal analysis showed that each week, individuals in group ANC saw a slight but significantly greater decrease in psychological distress compared to those in individual care.
The see-saw mechanism: neutrino mixing, leptogenesis and lepton flavor violation

description: The see-saw mechanism to generate small neutrino masses is reviewed. After summarizing our current knowledge about the low energy neutrino mass matrix we consider reconstructing the see-saw mechanism. Low energy neutrino physics is not sufficient to reconstruct see-saw, a feature which we refer to as ``see-saw degeneracy''. Indirect tests of see-saw are leptogenesis and lepton flavor violation in supersymmetric scenarios, which together with neutrino mass and mixing define the framework of see-saw phenomenology. Several examples are given, both phenomenological and GUT-related. Variants of the see-saw mechanism like the type II or triplet see-saw are also discussed. In particular, we compare many general aspects regarding the dependence of LFV on low energy neutrino parameters in the extreme cases of a dominating conventional see-saw term or a dominating triplet term. For instance, the absence of mu -> e gamma or tau -> e gamma in the pure triplet case means that CP is conserved in neutrino oscillations. Scanning models, we also find that among the decays mu -> e gamma, tau -> e gamma and tau -> mu gamma the latter one has the largest branching ratio in (i) SO(10) type I see-saw models and in (ii) scenarios in which the triplet term dominates in the neutrino mass matrix.

Hydrodynamic effects on the energy transfer from dipoles to metal slab

description: A systematic study of nonlocal and size effects on the energy transfer of a dipole (e.g. a molecule or a quantum dot) induced by the proximity of a metal slab is presented. Nonlocal effects are accounted for using the hydrodynamic model (HDM). We derive a general relation that connects the energy transfer rate to the linear charge density-density response function of the slab. This function is explicitly evaluated for the HDM and the local Drude model. We show that a thin metal slab can support a series of higher-frequency surface plasma wave (SPW) modes in addition to the normal SPW modes thanks to the nonlocal effects. These modes markedly alter the response and the energy transfer process, as revealed in the structure of the energy transfer rate in the parameter space. Our findings are important for applications such as the recently developed metal-induced energy transfer imaging, which relies on accurate modeling of the energy transfer rate.

description: In this paper we prove that the complement to the affine complex arrangement of type \widetilde{B}_n is a K(π, 1) space. We also compute the cohomology of the affine Artin group G of type \widetilde{B}_n with coefficients over several interesting local systems. In particular, we consider the module Q[q^{\pm 1}, t^{\pm 1}], where the first n-standard generators of G act by (-q)-multiplication while the last generator acts by (-t)-multiplication. Such representation generalizes the analog 1-parameter representation related to the bundle structure over the complement to the discriminant hypersurface, endowed with the monodromy action of the associated Milnor fibre. The cohomology of G with trivial coefficients is derived from the previous one.

We emphasize that the more standard defects (such as Goto-Nambu strings) are unsuitable for this task, but show that more general models (such as transonic wiggly strings) could in principle have a better chance. In any case, we show that observational data severely restricts any such scenarios.

description: Examining a sample of massive galaxies at 1.410^{11}L_sun, show a mid-IR excess which is likely due to the presence of obscured active nuclei, as shown in a companion paper. There is a tight and roughly linear correlation between stellar mass and SFR for 24um-detected galaxies. For a given mass, the SFR at z=2 was larger by a factor of ~4 and ~30 relative to that in star forming galaxies at z=1 and z=0, respectively. Typical ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z=2 are relatively 'transparent' to ultraviolet light, and their activity is long lived (~400 Myr), unlike that in local ULIRGs and high redshift submillimeter-selected galaxies. ULIRGs are the common mode of star formation in massive galaxies at z=2, and the high duty cycle suggests that major mergers are not the dominant trigger for this activity.Current galaxy formation models underpredict the normalization of the mass-SFR correlation by about a factor of 4, and the space density of ULIRGs by an orderof magnitude, but give better agreement for z>1.4 quiescent galaxies.

Our novel accelerated Stokesian-dynamics algorithm relies on simplifications associated with the Hele--Shaw asymptotic far-field form of the flow scattered by the particles. The simulations reveal propagation of particle-displacement waves, deformation and rearrangements of a particle lattice, propagation of dislocation defects in ordered arrays, and long-lasting coexistence of ordered and disordered regions.

description: With the help of time-dependent scattering theory on the observable algebra of infinitely extended quasifree fermionic chains, we introduce a general class of so-called right mover/left mover states which are inspired by the nonequilibrium steady states for the prototypical nonequilibrium configuration of a finite sample coupled to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. Under the assumption of spatial translation invariance, we relate the 2-point operator of such a right mover/left mover state to the asymptotic velocity of the system and prove that the system is thermodynamically nontrivial in the sense that its entropy production rate is strictly positive. Our study of these not necessarily gauge-invariant systems covers and substantially generalizes well-known quasifree fermionic chains and opens the way for a more systematic analysis of the heat flux in such systems.

description: Approximately 20-30% of 1.46.2 keV. The stacked X-ray spectrum rises steeply at >10 keV, suggesting that these sources host Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with column densities N_H~10^{24} cm^-2 and an average, unobscured X-ray luminosity L_{2-8 keV}~(1-4)x10^43 erg/s. Their sky density(~3200 deg^-2) and space density (~2.6x10^-4 Mpc^-3) are twice those of X-ray detected AGNs at z~2, and much larger than those of previously-known Compton thick sources at similar redshifts. The mid-IR excess galaxies are part of the long sought-after population of distant heavily obscured AGNs predicted by synthesis models of the X-ray background. The fraction of mid-IR excess objects increases with galaxy mass, reaching ~50-60% for M~10^11 M_sun, an effect likely connected with downsizing in galaxy formation. The ratio of theinferred black hole growth rate from these Compton-thick sources to the global star formation rate at z=2 is similar to the mass ratio of black holes to stars inlocal spheroids, implying concurrent growth of both within the precursors oftoday's massive galaxies.

description: We investigate robust linear consensus over networks under capacity-constrained communication. The capacity of each edge is encoded as an upper bound on the number of state variables that can be communicated instantaneously. When the edge capacities are small compared to the dimensionality of the state vectors, it is not possible to instantaneously communicate full state information over every edge. We investigate how robust consensus (small steady state variance of the states) can be achieved within a linear time-invariant setting by optimally assigning edges to state-dimensions. We show that if a finite steady state variance of the states can be achieved, then both the minimum cut capacity and the total capacity of the network should be sufficiently large. Optimal and approximate solutions are provided for some special classes of graphs. We also consider the related problem of optimally allocating additional capacity on a feasible initial solution. We show that this problem corresponds to the maximization of a submodular function subject to a matroid constraint, which can be approximated via a greedy algorithm.

description: Using Woods-Saxon potentials and the eigenphase formalism for one-particle resonances, one-particle bound and resonant levels for neutrons as a function of quadrupole deformation are presented, which are supposed to be useful for the interpretation of spectroscopic properties of some light neutron-rich nuclei with weakly-bound neutrons. Compared with Nilsson diagrams in text books which are constructed using modified oscillator potentials, we point out a systematic change of the shell structure in connection with both weakly-bound and resonant one-particle levels related to small orbital angular momenta $\ell$. Then, it is seen that weakly-bound neutrons in nuclei such as $^{15-19}$C and $^{33-37}$Mg may prefer to being deformed as a result of Jahn-Teller effect, due to the near degeneracy of the 1d$_{5/2}$-2s$_{1/2}$ levels and the 1f$_{7/2}$-2p$_{3/2}$ levels in the spherical potential, respectively. Furthermore, the absence of some one-particle resonant levels compared with the Nilsson diagrams in text books is illustrated.

description: In this paper, we study the third-order nonlinear optical response due to transitions between excitonic levels in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogeniedes. To accomplish this, we use methods not applied to the description of excitons in two-dimensional materials so far and combined with a variational approach to describe the $1s$ excitonic state. The aforementioned transitions allow to probe dark states which are not revealed in absorption experiments. We present general formulas capable of describing any third-order process. The specific case of two-photon absorption in WSe2 is studied. The case of the circular well is also studied as a benchmark of the theory.

description: An accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement is a contract or an investment strategy used by a publicly traded company to buy back shares of stocks expeditiously from the market. In these agreements, firms are able to repurchase a significant number of their shares upfront. The intermediary must then repurchase the shares over a given time window that is equivalent to enter into a forward contract.

description: We consider a class of Fourier integral operators, globally defined on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, with symbols and phases satisfying product type estimates (the so-called $SG$ or scattering classes). We prove a sharp continuity result for such operators when acting on the modulation spaces $M^p$. The minimal loss of derivatives is shown to be $d|1/2-1/p|$. This global perspective produces a loss of decay as well, given by the same order. Strictly related, striking examples of unboundedness on $L^p$ spaces are presented.

description: We deploy and demonstrate the capabilities of the magnetic field model developed by Ewertowski & Basu (2013) by fitting observed polarimetry data of the prestellar core FeSt 1-457. The analytic hourglass magnetic field function derived directly from Maxwell's equations yields a central-to-surface magnetic field strength ratio in the equatorial plane, as well as magnetic field directions with relative magnitudes throughout the core. This fit emerges from a comparison of a single plane of the model with the polarization map that results from the integrated properties of the magnetic field and dust throughout the core. Importantly, our fit is independent of any assumed density profile of the core. We check the robustness of the fit by using the POLARIS code to create synthetic polarization maps that result from the integrated scattering and emission properties of the dust grains and their radiative transfer, employing an observationally-motivated density profile. We find that the synthetic polarization maps obtained from the model also provides a good fit to the observed polarimetry. Our model fits the striking feature of significant curvature of magnetic field lines in the outer part of FeSt 1-457. Combined with independent column density estimates, we infer that the core of size $R_{\rm gas}$ has a mildly supercritical mass-to-flux ratio and may have formed through dynamical motions starting from a significantly larger radius $R$. A breakdown of flux-freezing through neutral-ion slip (ambipolar diffusion) could be responsible for effecting such a transition from a large-scale magnetic field structure to a more compact gas structure.

description: We review the hypothesis of the existence of gravitational magnetic monopoles (H-pole for short) defined in analogy with the Dirac's hypothesis of magnetic monopoles in electrodynamics. These hypothetical dual particles violate the equivalence principle and are accelerated by a gravitational field. We propose an expression for the gravitational force exerted upon an H-pole. According to GR ordinary matter (which we call E-poles) follows geodesics in a background metric. The dual H-poles follows geodesics in an effective metric.

description: We study the effect of quantum vibronic coupling on the electronic properties of carbon allotropes, including molecules and solids, by combining path integral first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) with a colored noise thermostat. In addition to avoiding several approximations commonly adopted in calculations of electron-phonon coupling, our approach only adds a moderate computational cost to FPMD simulations and hence it is applicable to large supercells, such as those required to describe amorphous solids. We predict the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the fundamental gap of amorphous carbon, and we show that in diamond the zero-phonon renormalization of the band gap is larger than previously reported.

description: We present new classes of explicit supersymmetric AdS_3 solutions of type IIB supergravity with non-vanishing five-form flux and AdS_2 solutions of D=11 supergravity with electric four-form flux. The former are dual to two-dimensional SCFTs with (0,2) supersymmetry and the latter to supersymmetric quantum mechanics with two supercharges. We also investigate more general classes of AdS_3 solutions of type IIB supergravity and AdS_2 solutions of D=11 supergravity which in addition have non-vanishing three-form flux and magnetic four-form flux, respectively. The construction of these more general solutions makes essential use of the Chern-Simons or "transgression" terms in the Bianchi identity or the equation of motion of the field strengths in the supergravity theories. We construct infinite new classes of explicit examples and for some of the type IIB solutions determine the central charge of the dual SCFTs. The type IIB solutions with non-vanishing three-form flux that we construct include a two-torus, and after two T-dualities and an S-duality, we obtain new AdS_3 solutions with only the NS fields being non-trivial.

A biochemical investigation into the mechanism of hypercatabolism of high density lipoprotein in Tangier disease
Creators: name: Samborski, Rockford William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study was designed to investigate the mechanism(s) underlying the hypercatabolism of high density lipoprotein in Tangier disease (TD). Initially, the metabolism of normal HDL incubated in Tangier plasma in vitro was examined. Sufficient normal human HDL was added to TD plasma to raise the concentration of HDL-cholesterol to within normal levels. During incubation the concentration of HDL-cholesterol in the TD plasma fell by up to 50% in a time dependent manner. This was not seen in control samples treated in a similar manner. The loss of HDL-cholesterol in the TD could be completely accounted for by the loss of HDL-cholesteryl ester and was accompanied by a 2.3-fold increase in the concentration of HDL-triglyceride. These observations could not be accounted for by lecithin: cholesterol acytransferase activity, cholesteryl ester hydrolysis, or the triglyceride level in the TD plasma. However, preliminary evidence suggested that the activity of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in TD plasma is responsible for the changes in HDL-lipid composition. The resulting triglyceride-rich, cholesteryl-poor HDL was shown to have a normal affinity for the human skin fibroblast HDL receptor. However, this finding does not exclude other pathways of HDL catabolism that may contribute to the rapid turnover of modified HDL in TD plasma. The metabolism of normal HDL by TD fibroblasts and monocytes in vitro was also studied in an attempt to identify a cellular defect of HDL metabolism in TD. However, both TD fibroblasts and monocytes were normal with respect to their ability to bind/internalize and degrade normal HDL invitro. It is concluded that the hypercatabolism of normal HDL in TD involves alterations of HDL-lipid and protein composition prior to removal from the plasma component. Thus, these studies support the hypothesis that the defect in TD resides in the plasma and not in the cells of these patients.

Food insecurity, food pantry use and stigma: a study of U.S. citizen and non-citizen university students
Creators: name: Delos Reyes, John Emmanuel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Food insecurity among students is a concern in many universities across the country. The purpose of this research is to investigate food insecurity, food pantry use, food pantry use stigma, and how these vary among individuals with varying citizenship statuses. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to analyze the prevalence of food insecurity and food pantry use among U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen undergraduate students at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (N=5,063). A novel, 13-item scale to measure the perceptions of an on-campus food pantry was developed, administered to students who had heard of the food pantry and were not highly food secure, and later factor analyzed. The study found that a third (31.5%) of undergraduate students were food insecure and less than one-in-twenty (4.1%) of students aware of the on-campus food pantry reported using it. Three subscales were identified from the factor analysis, including the Food Pantry Use Stigma Subscale, which measures the fear, concern, and embarrassment related to food pantry use. Almost three-in-four students agreed that there is stigma around using the food pantry. Undergraduate non-U.S. citizen students report more food insecurity and use of the on-campus food pantry and reported feeling more food pantry use stigma compared to U.S. citizen students, highlighting that they are a particularly at-risk group of Rutgers-NB students. Implications for future research and policy, as well as recommendations for the Rutgers Student Food Pantry, are discussed.
