description: We consider the combined effects of large spin-orbit couplings and a perpendicular magnetic field in a 2D honeycomb fermionic lattice. This system provides an elegant setup to generate versatile spin textures propagating along the edge of a sample. The spin-orbit coupling is shown to induce topological phase transitions between a helical quantum spin Hall phase and a chiral spin-imbalanced quantum Hall state. Besides, we find that the spin orientation of a single topological edge state can be tuned by a Rashba spin-orbit coupling, opening an interesting route towards quantum spin manipulation. We discuss the possible realization of our results using cold atoms trapped in optical lattices, where large synthetic magnetic fields and spin-orbit couplings can be engineered and finely tuned. In particular, this system would lead to the observation of a time-reversal-symmetry-broken quantum spin Hall phase.

description: The set of 60 real rays in four dimensions derived from the vertices of a 600-cell is shown to possess numerous subsets of rays and bases that provide basis-critical parity proofs of the Bell-Kochen-Specker (BKS) theorem (a basis-critical proof is one that fails if even a single basis is deleted from it). The proofs vary considerably in size, with the smallest having 26 rays and 13 bases and the largest 60 rays and 41 bases. There are at least 90 basic types of proofs, with each coming in a number of geometrically distinct varieties. The replicas of all the proofs under the symmetries of the 600-cell yield a total of almost a hundred million parity proofs of the BKS theorem. The proofs are all very transparent and take no more than simple counting to verify. A few of the proofs are exhibited, both in tabular form as well as in the form of MMP hypergraphs that assist in their visualization. A survey of the proofs is given, simple procedures for generating some of them are described and their applications are discussed. It is shown that all four-dimensional parity proofs of the BKS theorem can be turned into experimental disproofs of noncontextuality.

description: We study the statistics of 61 measured masses of neutron stars (NSs) in binary pulsar systems, including 18 double NS (DNS) systems, 26 radio pulsars (10 in our Galaxy) with white dwarf (WD) companions, 3 NSs with main-sequence companions, 13 NSs in X-ray binaries, and one undetermined system. We derive a mean value of M = 1.46 +/- 0.30 solar masses. When the 46 NSs with measured spin periods are divided into two groups at 20 milliseconds, i.e., the millisecond pulsar (MSP) group and others, we find that their mass averages are, respectively, M=1.57 +/- 0.35 solar masses and M=1.37+/- 0.23 solar masses. In the framework of the pulsar recycling hypothesis, this suggests that an accretion of approximately 0.2 solar mass is sufficient to spin up a neutron star and place it in the millisecond pulsar group. An empirical relation between the accreting mass and MSP spin period is ΔM=0.43 (solar mass)(P/1 ms)^{-2/3}. UNlike the standard recycling process, if a MSP is formed by the accretion induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf with a mass less than Chandrasekha limit, e.g. 1.35 solar mass, then the binary MSPs involved in AICs is not be higher than 20%, which imposes a constraint on the AIC origin of MSPs.

Investigating nitrogen transfer between Suillus tomentosus and Pinus contorta seedlings in an ectomycorrhizal network
Creators: name: Neumann, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Most conifer trees exist in symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) form when hyphae from the same fungus connect two or more root systems. In ECM forests, soil nutrients, including nitrogen (N), are taken up by hyphae and translocated to roots, but it is unclear what factors affect the allocation of N to individual plant hosts within an MN. One such factor may be plant nutrient status. Although movement of N is generally understood to occur strictly from fungus to plant, it’s possible that N could be allocated from plant to fungus. Petri plate microcosms were constructed containing two Pinus contorta seedlings connected by a Suillus tomentosus mycelium. Foliar treatments consisting of: (i) a homogeneous treatment where both seedlings in the microcosm received urea, (ii) a homogeneous treatment where both seedlings in the microcosm received H₂O, or (iii) a heterogeneous treatment where one seedling in the microcosm received urea and the other received H₂O, were applied. After 72 h, N or H₂O was supplied to hyphae, and manual severing of hyphae served as a control. In some cases, foliar treatments contained ¹⁵N-labelled urea to detect movement of N from shoots to roots. In other microcosms, ¹⁵NH₄Cl or ¹⁵N-labelled glycine was supplied to hyphae to follow the fungal distribution of N within the MN. I found that movement of ¹⁵N from foliage to roots was common; however, hyphal severing and hyphal treatment had no effect on this movement indicating that it occurred independently of the fungus. Based on a small number of successfully labelled seedlings when ¹⁵N was supplied to hyphae, I found seedlings that received foliar treatments of urea had higher atm% ¹⁵N excess values than those that received foliar treatments of H₂O, but only when the ¹⁵N was supplied to hyphae as glycine. These results suggest that the partitioning of fungal N to plant symbionts in an MN may be affected by both the nutrient status of the plant, and the form of N assimilated by the ECM fungus. Here, special emphasis is given toward optimizing microcosm experimental design, as several methodological issues arose throughout my experiments.

description: We study trajectories of d-dimensional Brownian Motion in Poissonian potential up to the hitting time of a distant hyper-plane. Our Poissonian potential V can be associated to a field of traps whose centers location is given by a Poisson Point process and whose radii are IID distributed with a common distribution that has unbounded support; it has the particularity of having long-range correlation. We focus on the case where the law of the trap radii has power-law decay and prove that superdiffusivity hold under certain condition, and get a lower bound on the volume exponent. Results differ quite much with the one that have been obtained for the model with traps of bounded radii by Wühtrich: the superdiffusivity phenomenon is enhanced by the presence of correlation.

description: On 15th November 2023, the Australian Research Centre for Health Equity (ARCHE) at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance held a national roundtable on unpacking health advocacy strategies in the commercial determinants of health. The roundtable comprised a mix of leading public health, medication, nutrition, alcohol, NCD-focused and social justice organisations and academics from diverse disciplines with a strong interest in the regulation of alcohol and ultra-processed foods industries. The roundtable centred on two key questions: How can health advocates influence the activities of harmful commodity industries? How are NGOs across Australia and internationally managing their interactions with commercial actors? Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, this was a closed event according to Chatham House rule.

description: This thesis investigates the role of Australian national interest in infrastructure development programs in Papua New Guinea (PNG) from 2018 to 2023, focusing on the Transport Sector Support Program and the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific. These programs and the reporting they produce are overlooked and provide insight into how foreign policy narratives such as ‘partner of choice’ dialogue and responses to geopolitics manifest in practice. To investigate this, the thesis employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of program reporting, drawn from an overlooked set of grey literature, supplemented by interviews with practitioners and experts from the Australia-PNG infrastructure development sector. This thesis has four main findings. Firstly, Australia’s position as a partner of choice in infrastructure development in PNG is assumed as truth in formal policy. There is little interrogation of how Australia is perceived, despite aiming to take a partnership approach to the region. Secondly, the way reporting speaks about geopolitics is implicit, and the way partnerships are referred to is explicit. Yet, external media and the aid community outside the formal bureaucracy are quick to link geopolitics and aid. Thirdly, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) speaks between the lines on geopolitics in aid, leaving the aid community to interpret political objectives and determine the extent to which they are applied on programs. This is complicated by the public-private dynamic of managing contractors and the way influence is built programs by individual advisers in PNG government departments. Finally, financing matters, and the shift from grants to loans is indicative of Australia’s changing approach. It has shifted the discourse around the development relationship between PNG and Australia. Overall, ambiguity in policy narratives and the deliberate, systemic opacity of national interest in aid has resulted in inconsistencies in translating well-intentioned policy to practice.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical study of carrier-envelope phase (CEP) effects on the population transfer between two bound atomic states interacting with pulses consisting of many cycles. Using intense radio-frequency pulse with Rabi frequency of the order of the atomic transition frequency, we investigated the influence of CEP on the control of phase dependent multi-photon transitions between the Zeeman sub-levels of the ground state of $^{87}$Rb. Our scheme has no limitation on the duration of the pulses. Extending the CEP control to longer pulses creates interesting possibilities to generate pulses with accuracy that is better then the period of optical oscillations.

description: White noise-driven nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of parabolic type are frequently used to model physical and biological systems in space dimensions d = 1,2,3. Whereas existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to these equations are well established in one dimension, the situation is different for d \geq 2. Despite their popularity in the applied sciences, higher dimensional versions of these SPDE models are generally assumed to be ill-posed by the mathematics community. We study this discrepancy on the specific example of the two dimensional Allen-Cahn equation driven by additive white noise. Since it is unclear how to define the notion of a weak solution to this equation, we regularize the noise and introduce a family of approximations. Based on heuristic arguments and numerical experiments, we conjecture that these approximations exhibit divergent behavior in the continuum limit. The results strongly suggest that a series of published numerical studies are problematic: shrinking the mesh size in these simulations does not lead to the recovery of a physically meaningful limit.

Investigating health outcomes and risk factors for adverse drug events to improve patient safety and identify strategies for health system improvements
Creators: name: Wickham, Maeve Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Preliminary evidence suggests that 19-54% of patients diagnosed with adverse drug events (ADEs), unintended harm from medications, will be re-exposed to the culprit medication upon hospital discharge. The studies from which these estimates arise are small, descriptive, or rely solely on administrative data. Previous research reports an estimated 6-28% of adverse drug events can be identified using administrative data; these data are not well poised to examine adverse events. By triangulating multiple data sources (prospective, chart review, administrative claims data), we sought to: (1) Examine the proportion of re-exposure to culprit medication upon hospital or emergency department discharge, and identify any risk factors for culprit medication re-exposure using Cox regression models; (2) Investigate methods to identify medication non-adherence using claims data, and examine repeat medication non-adherence descriptively; and (3) Examine how administrative health data perform in identifying adverse drug events, including medication non-adherence, by calculating sensitivity and specificity, and conducting logistic regression. The results of our analyses indicated that re-exposure to culprit medication occurred for 45.2% of adverse drug events, though this was largely driven by necessary, irreplaceable medications. Re-exposure varied by type of ADE and duration of medication use. Analyses indicated that no method to identify medication non-adherence in administrative datasets performed well, but the proportion of days covered was the best measure. Finally, as expected, administrative claims data performed poorly in identifying adverse drug events. The administrative data source from which events were more readily detected was hospital data. Overall, the results of this dissertation suggest that while a large proportion of adverse drug events result in subsequent medication re-exposure, these may not be inappropriate re-exposures. iv Further research is needed to draw this distinction. These results also demonstrate that adverse drug events, including medication non-adherence, are poorly identified in administrative claims data, and caution should be used when interpreting research that relies solely on their use. Previous work in the field has likely underestimated the burden of adverse drug events. Where possible, research on adverse drug events should include data that are prospectively collected at the point of care.

description: Unwanted growth of hair on parts of the body parts is a frequent concern in females and males. Unwanted body hair can be reduced permanently using light assisted devices such as IPL and Lasers and these treatments has become more popular for its long-lasting effect. Nowadays  there are various devices available for hair removal, including  755 nm alexandrite,  800-810 nm diode, and 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers, and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems. Among available lasers, the 800-810 nm long-pulsed diode laser is one of the most commonly used devices.  In here light is less absorbed by epidermal melanin therefore it is effective even on darker skin types.  The efficacy of light assisted   hair reduction is determined with various physical parameters, including the wavelength, pulse duration, fluence, spot size, treatment interval, and number of treatment sessions, as well as by the patient's individual characteristics, such as skin colour, hair colour, hair thickness, and the treated area of the body. Very often patients are using IPL- even at their own home to reduce unwanted hair. To evaluate the impact of  IPL treatments  on the diode laser efficiency in hair reduction, we compared the outcomes of axillary hair reduction in three groups by using  IPL assisted device prior to the use of diode laser under the condition that fluence, pulse duration are as per manufacturers guidelines, epidermal cooling temperature and environmental temperature are identical.
Resistivity-driven State Changes in Vertically Stratified Accretion Disks

description: We investigate the effect of shear viscosity and Ohmic resistivity on the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in vertically stratified accretion disks through a series of local simulations with the Athena code. First, we use a series of unstratified simulations to calibrate physical dissipation as a function of resolution and background field strength; the effect of the magnetic Prandtl number, Pm = viscosity/resistivity, on the turbulence is captured by ~32 grid zones per disk scale height, H. In agreement with previous results, our stratified disk calculations are characterized by a subthermal, predominately toroidal magnetic field that produces MRI-driven turbulence for |z| < 2 H. Above |z| = 2 H, magnetic pressure dominates and the field is buoyantly unstable. Large scale radial and toroidal fields are also generated near the mid-plane and subsequently rise through the disk. The polarity of this mean field switches on a roughly 10 orbit period in a process that is well-modeled by an alpha-omega dynamo. Turbulent stress increases with Pm but with a shallower dependence compared to unstratified simulations. For sufficiently large resistivity, on the order of cs H/1000, where cs is the sound speed, MRI turbulence within 2 H of the mid-plane undergoes periods of resistive decay followed by regrowth. This regrowth is caused by amplification of toroidal field via the dynamo. This process results in large amplitude variability in the stress on 10 to 100 orbital timescales, which may have relevance for partially ionized disks that are observed to have high and low accretion states.

They can be used for the experimental detection of entanglement in an ensemble in which the particles cannot be individually addressed. We also present a large set of criteria involving collective observables different from the angular momentum coordinates. We show that some of the inequalities can be used to detect k-particle entanglement and bound entanglement.

description: We investigate both theoretically and experimentally a gigantic enhancement of the spin Seebeck effect in a prototypical magnet LaY$_2$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ at low temperatures. Our theoretical analysis sheds light on the important role of phonons; the spin Seebeck effect is enormously enhanced by nonequilibrium phonons that drag the low-lying spin excitations. We further argue that this scenario gives a clue to understand the observation of the spin Seebeck effect that is unaccompanied by a global spin current, and predict that the substrate condition affects the observed signal.

description: Chronic pyelonephritis is a persistent kidney infection that affects children, causing numerous systemic consequences. Although often overlooked, the oral cavity is also impacted by this condition. Research indicates that children with chronic pyelonephritis may experience several changes in their oral health, including dental caries, gingivitis, enamel defects, and a higher prevalence of oral infections. Understanding these oral manifestations is crucial for healthcare providers to effectively manage and prevent complications in these young patients.

description: Abstract: Background: Reaching the bedside of a critically ill child within three hours of agreeing the child requires intensive care is a key target for Paediatric Critical Care Transport teams (PCCTs) to achieve in the United Kingdom. Whilst timely access to specialist care is necessary for these children, it is unknown to what extent time taken for the PCCT to arrive at the bedside affects clinical outcome. Methods: Data from transports of critically ill children who were admitted to Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in England and Wales from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2016 were extracted from the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) and linked with adult critical care data and Office for National Statistics mortality data. Logistic regression models, adjusted for pre-specified confounders, were fitted to investigate the impact of time-to-bedside on mortality within 30 days of admission and other key time points. Negative binomial models were used to investigate the impact of time-to-bedside on PICU length of stay and duration of invasive ventilation. Results: There were 9116 children transported during the study period, and 645 (7.1%) died within 30 days of PICU admission. There was no evidence that 30-day mortality changed as time-to-bedside increased. A similar relationship was seen for mortality at other pre-selected time points. In children who waited longer for a team to arrive, there was limited evidence of a small increase in PICU length of stay (expected number of days increased from: 7.17 to 7.58). Conclusion: There is no evidence that reducing the time-to-bedside target for PCCTs will improve the survival of critically ill children. A shorter time to bedside may be associated with a small reduction in PICU length of stay.

description: As shown by Cardy modular invariance of the partition function of a given unitary non-singular 2d CFT with left and right central charges c_L and c_R, implies that the density of states in a microcanonical ensemble, at excitations Delta and Delta-bar and in the saddle point approximation, is ρ_0(Δ,\barΔ;c_L, c_R)=c_L c_R \exp(2π\sqrt{{c_LΔ}/{6}})\exp(2π\sqrt{{c_R\barΔ}/{6}}). In this paper, we extend Cardy's analysis and show that in the saddle point approximation and up to contributions which are exponentially suppressed compared to the leading Cardy's result, the density of states takes the form ρ(Δ,\barΔ; c_L,c_R)= f(c_LΔ) f(c_R\barΔ)ρ_0(Δ,\barΔ; c_L, c_R), for a function f(x) which we specify. In particular, we show that (i) ρ(Δ,\barΔ; c_L, c_R) is the product of contributions of left and right movers and hence, to this approximation, the partition function of any modular invariant, non-singular unitary 2d CFT is holomorphically factorizable and (ii) ρ(Δ,\barΔ; c_L, c_R)/(c_Lc_R) is only a function of $c_R\barΔ$ and $c_LΔ$. In addition, treating ρ(Δ,\barΔ; c_L, c_R) as the density of states of a microcanonical ensemble, we compute the entropy of the system in the canonical counterpart and show that the function f(x) is such that the canonical entropy, up to exponentially suppressed contributions, is simply given by the Cardy's result \lnρ_0(Δ,\barΔ; c_L, c_R).

description: We study the Ising spin chain with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction focusing on the static and dynamic properties of the entanglement entropy, following a quantum quench. We show that the effects of the additional anisotropic interaction on the phase diagram and on the dynamics of the system are captured by the properties of the entanglement entropy. In particular, the model provides a way to study the quench dynamics in a system with an energy current. We consider quenches starting from an initial excited state of the Ising spin chain, and we analyze the effects of different initial conditions.

Investigating data-flow reachability questions
Creators: name: Yoo, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Software developers frequently ask and answer questions about code that involve data and its path through a program, such as “How was this value created?” or “How is this value modified?” These questions are instances of reachability questions, which require developers to locate points of interest within program paths. Despite how frequently developers encounter reachability questions, existing tools place the burden on the developer to translate the question of interest into a low-level analysis, or to examine analysis results out of context of the reachability question, or both. In this thesis, we introduce the ReachHover tool to investigate whether direct user interface support for asking and answering reachability questions makes it easier for developers to answer these questions accurately. We focused ReachHover’s support on data-flow reachability questions after conducting a formative study of 72 practicing developers about the type and frequency of reachability questions they encounter in their work. We evaluated ReachHover through a controlled user study with 20 practicing developers, finding that participants who used ReachHover answered data-flow reachability questions involving multiple files more correctly than those who used standard tooling, and that those developers better maintained context while determining their answers.

description: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is not an accident but an inevitable consequence of how the West, especially the US, has utilised NATO in the post-Cold War period. This encompasses the activities which the US has supported NATO to pursue in the last 30 years: transformation, expansion, and participation in “out of area” actions. However, the US has never found it easy to help NATO remain the leading security organisation in Europe, not only because of threats posed by outside actors like Russia but also the mounting internal challenges, especially the long-standing issue of a “two-tiered” alliance. Washington has already shown reluctance to utilise NATO in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine to varying degrees. This paper seeks to understand why the US has remained committed to NATO and how the future US-NATO relationship will likely fare, including whether the Ukraine crisis can inject new life into the Alliance. It is believed that in the current context of uncertainty posed by NATO’s “Smart Defence” and the US “Pivot to Asia”, it seems highly likely that unless something changes, NATO will end up just doing less with less.

description: Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: We aimed to identify a sparse panel of biomarkers for improving the prediction of renal disease progression in type 1 diabetes. Methods: We considered 859 individuals recruited from the Scottish Diabetes Research Network Type 1 Bioresource (SDRNT1BIO) and 315 individuals from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy (FinnDiane) study. All had an entry eGFR between 30 and 75 ml min−1[1.73 m]−2, with those from FinnDiane being oversampled for albuminuria. A total of 297 circulating biomarkers (30 proteins, 121 metabolites, 146 tryptic peptides) were measured in non-fasting serum samples using the Luminex platform and LC electrospray tandem MS (LC-MS/MS). We investigated associations with final eGFR adjusted for baseline eGFR and with rapid progression (a loss of more than 3 ml min−1[1.73 m]−2 year−1) using linear and logistic regression models. Panels of biomarkers were identified using a penalised Bayesian approach, and their performance was evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation and compared with using clinical record data alone. Results: For final eGFR, 16 proteins and 30 metabolites or tryptic peptides showed significant association in SDRNT1BIO, and nine proteins and five metabolites or tryptic peptides in FinnDiane, beyond age, sex, diabetes duration, study day eGFR and length of follow-up (all at p < 10−4). The strongest associations were with CD27 antigen (CD27), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and α1-microglobulin. Including the Luminex biomarkers on top of baseline covariates increased the r2 for prediction of final eGFR from 0.47 to 0.58 in SDRNT1BIO and from 0.33 to 0.48 in FinnDiane. At least 75% of the increment in r2 was attributable to CD27 and KIM-1. However, using the weighted average of historical eGFR gave similar performance to biomarkers. The LC-MS/MS platform performed less well. Conclusions/interpretation: Among a large set of associated biomarkers, a sparse panel of just CD27 and KIM-1 contains most of the predictive information for eGFR progression. The increment in prediction beyond clinical data was modest but potentially useful for oversampling individuals with rapid disease progression into clinical trials, especially where there is little information on prior eGFR trajectories.

Role of charge fluctuation in Q1D organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4

description: We have theoretically investigated the spin and charge fluctuations in the quasi-one dimensional organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4. Using the extended multi-site Hubbard model, which contains four sites in a unit cell and the transfer energies obtained by the extended Hückel method, we calculate the linearized gap equation with the random phase approximation, to find novel order parameters of superconductivity due to several kinds of charge fluctuations induced by the anisotropic intersite repulsive interactions. For the singlet state, the order parameter with line nodes appears in the case of the strong charge fluctuation, while the order parameter with anisotropic gap suggested by Shimahara is reproduced in the spin fluctuation. The triplet state is also obtained for the wide parameter range of repulsive interactions due to a cooperation between charge and spin fluctuations.
