description: Social isolation has been found to correlate with an increase in alcohol consumption in humans. However, neurobehavioral and neurocellular mechanisms underlying interactions between alcohol and social isolation have been understudied. Prior work has shown that socially isolated crayfish exhibit lower behavioral and neural sensitivity to acute ethanol (EtOH) exposure than communally-housed conspecifics. Here we report an important role of the serotonergic system in mediating this socially-dependent effect. We found that depletion of serotonin (5-HT) from serotonergic neurons reduced behavioral sensitivity to EtOH, but the effect was more pronounced in communally housed animals. In addition, antagonizing 5-HT2β receptors also reduced EtOH sensitivity, and more strongly in group-housed animals, suggesting a possible down-regulation of 5-HT2β receptors in isolates. Pre-treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (fluoxetine) produced opposite modulatory effects, affirming the role of 5-HT in shaping the interactions between social experience and EtOH sensitivity. Thus, we show here, for the first time, that behavioral sensitivity to acute EtOH (i.e., intoxication) in crayfish is partially mediated by 5-HT, and our results suggest specific 5-HT receptor subtypes as possible targets for these interactions. This work might have relevance for studying the neurochemical mechanisms underlying the interplay between social history and alcohol sensitivity in other organisms. However, due to large variability in the experimental data and differences in sample sizes across conditions, the results should be considered preliminary, and future work will be aimed at increasing sample sizes and replication of results.
Alimentazione salutare in Comunicazione visiva

description: Un’alimentazione salutare, per lo più vegetariana, unita a un’equilibrata attività fisica è in grado di prevenire l’insorgere di nuove patologie come pure di arrestarle. Partendo dalla Rivoluzione industriale, intesa come periodo “propulsore” di quelle che sono le prassi produttive odierne, ho potuto prendere in esame le origini del capitalismo e di alcuni movimenti alternativi che propongono una dieta vegetariana in opposizione allo sfruttamento intensivo delle risorse naturali e auspicano un equilibrato ritorno alla natura, evidenziando inoltre alcuni punti di contatto tra filosofia Orientale e Occidentale, tra passato e presente. Attraverso interviste mirate e svolgendo una ricerca sullo stato dell’arte riguardo all’alimentazione sostenibile, è emerso che vi è una carenza di materiale educativo per bambini in età prescolare. Essendo questa fase evolutiva fondamentale per lo sviluppo di attitudini future, va da sé che l’educazione ad un’alimentazione salutare sin dalla tenera età è determinante per lo sviluppo dei gusti e delle abitudini alimentari che si rifletteranno più tardi sulle scelte nutrizionali e sugli orientamenti da consumatore. Dopo aver preso in analisi diverse metodologie didattiche per l’apprendimento scolastico sono giunta alla conclusione che la scelta di proporre un abbecedario didattico sia la via più indicata. L’abbecedario è uno strumento volto all’apprendimento dell’alfabeto, ma anche adattabile ad altre esigenze educative. L’intento è quello d’offrire un modello comportamentale legato all’alimentazione. Per questo motivo ho proposto un alfabeto che presenta alimenti sani quali frutta, verdura e tutto ciò che comprende il mondo vegetale. Le caratteristiche estetiche dell’abbecedario sono funzionali all’uso e alle dinamiche comportamentali dei bambini, così da facilitarli nell’apprendimento.

description: We compile a large sample of 120 Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s) which contains 49 hidden broad-line region (HBLR) Sy2s and 71 non-HBLR Sy2s. From the difference in the power sources between two groups, we test if HBLR Sy2s are dominated by active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and if non-HBLR Sy2s are dominated by starbursts. We show that: (1) HBLR Sy2s have larger accretion rates than non-HBLR Sy2s; (2) HBLR Sy2s have larger \Nev $λ14.32$/\Neii $λ12.81$ and \oiv $λ25.89$/\Neii $λ12.81$ line ratios than non-HBLR Sy2s; (3) HBLR Sy2s have smaller $IRAS$ $f_{60}/f_{25}$ flux ratio which shows the relative strength of the host galaxy and nuclear emission than non-HBLR Sy2s. So we suggest that HBLR Sy2s and non-HBLR Sy2s are AGN-dominated and starburst-dominated, respectively. In addition, non-HBLR Sy2s can be classified into the luminous ($L_{\rm [O III]}>10^{41} \rm ergs s^{-1}$) and less luminous ($L_{\rm [O III]}<10^{41} \rm ergs s^{-1}$) samples, when considering only their obscuration. We suggest that: (1) the invisibility of polarized broad lines (PBLs) in the luminous non-HBLR Sy2s depends on the obscuration; (2) the invisibility of PBLs in the less luminous non-HBLR Sy2s depends on the very low Eddington ratio rather than the obscuration.

description: Abiti in Ticino e sei cresciuto con la cultura culinare delle luganighette e del formaggio? I vegani proprio non li capisci, e la consideri una scelta troppo estrema? Questo progetto . volto proprio a questa fascia di persone ancora scettiche, mostrando loro un’altra realtà in modo semplice, leggero e divertente senza imporre ideologie a nessuno. Si rivolge anche ad un’altra fascia di target più esclusiva, ovvero il vegano (o anche vegetariano) che semplicemente può trarre vantaggio dalle informazioni riportare nella rivista, utilizzandola come una sorta di guida stagione dopo stagione, scoprendo tante novità e curiosità. Il nome della rivista stessa è una provocazione divertente che utilizza un gioco di parole in Inglese tra “misstake” (sbaglio) e “missed steak” (bistecca mancata), e come viene riportato nel claim; “Becoming vegan was a big missed teak” (Diventare vegani . stata una grossa bistecca mancata), un’altra provocazione divertente che invita il lettore a riflettere e trarre le proprie conclusioni. Missedsteak è una rivista indipendente che nasce dalla voglia di divulgare e informare su uno stile di vita ancora considerato bizzarro per molti di noi: il veganesimo. Il mondo sta cambiando, e così anche le abitudini alimentari. Il piccolo Ticino però è sempre l’ultimo ad esser coinvolto in queste novità. L’intento di questo progetto è quello far incuriosire le persone. Dal carnivoro più scettico al vegano già convinto, raccontando stagione per stagione, tutte le novità “plant based” e divertendo il lettore con qualche storia curiosa.
Variability of surface flows on the Sun and the implications for exoplanet detection

description: The published Mount Wilson Doppler-shift measurements of the solar velocity field taken in 1967--1982 are revisited with a more accurate model, which includes two terms representing the meridional flow and three terms corresponding to the convective limb shift. Integration of the recomputed data over the visible hemisphere reveals significant variability of the net radial velocity at characteristic time scales of 0.1--10 years, with a standard deviation of 1.4 \ms. This result is supported by independent published observations. The implications for exoplanet detection include reduced sensitivity of the Doppler method to Earth-like planets in the habitable zone, and an elevated probability of false detections at periods of a few to several years.

I can suppress the pain, but then what? : seeking resolution to chronic musculoskeletal pain among immigrants from China
Creators: name: Law, Ada Kwan Wing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a common problem among working aged adults (McIntosh & Hall, 2007). It reduces quality of life, is challenging to diagnose and treat, and incurs a significant economic burden on society (Woolf & Pfleger, 2003). Evidence indicates that one’s cultural background has major relevance in their pain experience and associated coping behaviours (Gatchel et al., 2007). To date, studies investigating cultural influences in musculoskeletal pain have primarily taken a deductive and quantitative approach in accessing culture, which can limit the researcher from acquiring a rich and contextualized picture of an ethnic culture (Waldram, 2006). The current study aims to construct knowledge about a large but under-researched ethnic minority group in Canada—immigrants from mainland China—using Constructivist Grounded Theory (Charmaz, 2006), a methodology that allows for the accessing of cultures in a contextualized and naturalistic form. Twenty-four first-generation immigrants from mainland China living in Metro Vancouver, Canada, with chronic musculoskeletal pain were interviewed about their pain management experiences. Through theoretical sampling, coding, writing and sorting memos, and diagramming, concepts were constructed and formed into a theoretical framework explaining how immigrants from China (ICs) manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. Results indicate that ICs try to resolve their pain by being cautious (i.e., opting for low-risk methods), self-reliant (i.e., handling the pain on one’s own), proactive (i.e., actively seeking information and solutions), and critical (i.e., evaluating medical opinions, recommendations, and services). Those with mild pain self-manage using mainly cautious and self-reliant approaches, whereas those with severe pain also use proactive and critical approaches. These approaches are informed by underlying pain-related beliefs (e.g., that medications are toxic), moral values (e.g., one ought to face pain courageously), and memories of accessing healthcare in China. Furthermore, results suggest that ICs, over time, develop experiences and insights about pain management, forming an attitude of self-efficacy and pain acceptance. To evaluate the level of contribution of current results to the field, key findings of the study were compared with what is known in the extant literature. The study’s possible contributions to the pain management literature, potential utility for practitioners, and methodological limitations are discussed.

description: We reexamine the novel phase diagrams of antiferromagnetism (AFM) and high-Tc$ superconductivity (HTSC) for a disorder-free CuO$_2$ plane based on an evaluation of local hole density ($p$) by site-selective Cu-NMR studies on multilayered copper oxides. Multilayered systems provide us with the opportunity to research the characteristics of the disorder-free CuO$_2$ plane. The site-selective NMR is the best and the only tool used to extract layer-dependent characteristics. Consequently, we have concluded that the uniform mixing of AFM and SC is a general property inherent to a single CuO$_2$ plane in an underdoped regime of HTSC. The $T$=0 phase diagram of AFM constructed here is in quantitative agreement with the theories in a strong correlation regime which is unchanged even with mobile holes. This {\it Mott physics} plays a vital role for mediating the Cooper pairs to make $T_c$ of HTSC very high. By contrast, we address from extensive NMR studies on electron-doped iron-oxypnictides La1111 compounds that the increase in $T_c$ is not due to the development of AFM spin fluctuations, but because the structural parameters, such as the bond angle $α$ of the FeAs$_4$ tetrahedron and the a-axis length, approach each optimum value. Based on these results, we propose that a stronger correlation in HTSC than in FeAs-based superconductors may make $T_c$ higher significantly.

description: The human mind and body evolved in a sensory world steeped in light, sound, odor, wind, weather, water, vegetation, animals, and landscapes. In an increasingly urbanized and digitized world, it is critical that human beings sustain this close association with nature. Developments in the biological sciences over the past-half century have demonstrated our interdependence with the environment. Landscape architects can apply research in sensory perception to create an immersive experience of environmental attributes that fosters well-being, community, and stewardship.This thesis was developed in three phases: first, to understand what research in environmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience reveals about how we perceive the environment through our senses; second, to derive from this research a framework for sensory landscape design; and third, to apply this framework to the design of a community park that connects the Green Meadows and Chillum neighborhoods at the confluence of Sligo Creek and the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River in Chillum, Maryland.

description: Icy roads can cause many accidents due to their slippery nature. Thus, providingpeople the information about icy roads can help them avoid taking these roads and prevent accidents. The problem of routing UAVs optimally to collect visual information regarding icy roads is called Icy Road Vehicle Routing Problem. Vehicle Routing Problem is essentially a path planning problem, where optimal paths need to be determined for one or more vehicles. Arc Routing Problems is a subclass of vehicle routing problems where the goal is to make vehicle(s) traverse specific arcs or edges optimally. Icy road vehicle routing problem resembles arc routing problem when icy roads are considered as arcs. Usually, in arc routing problems, vehicle(s) are located in one specific location, and the solution routes start and end at the same location. This thesis defines the Icy Road Vehicle Routing Problem, a new type of arc routing problem, where the goal of traversing arcs or icy roads remains the same but vehicle(s) or UAV(s) are located at one or multiple location(s). The thesis also presents new heuristic- based algorithms called multi-flight algorithms to solve the Icy Road Vehicle Routing Problem. By performing a set of experiments, the proposed algorithms are compared against several heuristic-based approaches from the literature. These experimental results show that the proposed multi-flight algorithms produced quicker and better quality solution routes to the UAVs for the Icy Road Vehicle Routing Problem than previous heuristics.

description: Let $p$ be an odd prime. In 2008 E. Mortenson proved van Hamme's following conjecture: $$\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}(4k+1)\binom{-1/2}k^3\equiv (-1)^{(p-1)/2}p\pmod{p^3}.$$ In this paper we show further that \begin{align*}\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(4k+1)\binom{-1/2}k^3\equiv &\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}(4k+1)\binom{-1/2}k^3 \\\equiv & (-1)^{(p-1)/2}p+p^3E_{p-3} \pmod{p^4},\end{align*}where $E_0,E_1,E_2,\ldots$ are Euler numbers. We also prove that if $p>3$ then $$\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{20k+3}{(-2^{10})^k}\binom{4k}{k,k,k,k}\equiv(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p(2^{p-1}+2-(2^{p-1}-1)^2)\pmod{p^4}.$$

RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN ROS PRODUCTION AND SOD ACTIVITY FOLLOWING INDUCED INFLAMMATION
Creators: name: Mascone, Sara Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Kinesiology

description: Black individuals are predisposed to an earlier onset and higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension. Hypertension may be caused by inflammation and heightened levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). At rest, Black and White individuals exhibit divergent in vivo and in vitro inflammation, ROS production, and ROS clearance. This study investigated racial differences in ROS production and ROS clearance following induced inflammation in human plasma and HUVECs from Black (B HUVECs) and White (W HUVECs) individuals. W HUVECs, but not B HUVECs, exhibited significantly greater ROS production with increased exposure to TNF-α. Further, W HUVECs alone experienced a significant increase in SOD activity with increased time that was abolished with TNF-α. The HUVEC data were also analyzed for sex differences. HUVECs from females exhibited significantly lower ROS production than HUVECS from males basally and following TNF-α treatment. Female HUVECs alone exhibited significantly greater SOD activity with increased exposure to TNF-α. The findings suggest a ‘priming’ for lower ROS production via greater total antioxidant status (from non-SOD antioxidants) in B HUVECs. Further, male HUVECs may be predisposed to a pro-inflammatory state due to higher androgen exposure in fetal umbilical cord blood.

description: A framework for categorizing entropic measures of nonclassical correlations in bipartite quantum states is presented. The measures are based on the difference between a quantum entropic quantity and the corresponding classical quantity obtained from measurements on the two systems. Three types of entropic quantities are used, and three different measurement strategies are applied to these quantities. Many of the resulting measures of nonclassical correlations have been proposed previously. Properties of the various measures are explored, and results of evaluating the measures for two-qubit quantum states are presented.

MRI-driven turbulent transport: the role of dissipation, channel modes and their parasites
Creators: name: Longaretti, P. -Y.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the recent years, MRI-driven turbulent transport has been found to depend in a significant way on fluid viscosity $ν$ and resistivity $η$ through the magnetic Prandtl number $Pm=ν/η$. In particular, the transport decreases with decreasing $Pm$; if persistent at very large Reynolds numbers, this trend may lead to question the role of MRI-turbulence in YSO disks, whose Prandtl number is usually very small. In this context, the principle objective of the present investigation is to characterize in a refined way the role of dissipation. Another objective is to characterize the effect of linear (channel modes) and quasi-linear (parasitic modes) physics in the behavior of the transport. These objectives are addressed with the help of a number of incompressible numerical simulations. The horizontal extent of the box size has been increased in order to capture all relevant (fastest growing) linear and secondary parasitic unstable modes. The major results are the following: i- The increased accuracy in the computation of transport averages shows that the dependence of transport on physical dissipation exhibits two different regimes: for $Pm \lesssim 1$, the transport has a power-law dependence on the magnetic Reynolds number rather than on the Prandtl number; for $Pm > 1$, the data are consistent with a primary dependence on $Pm$ for large enough ($\sim 10^3$) Reynolds numbers. ii- The transport-dissipation correlation is not clearly or simply related to variations of the linear modes growth rates. iii- The existence of the transport-dissipation correlation depends neither on the number of linear modes captured in the simulations, nor on the effect of the parasitic modes on the saturation of the linear modes growth. iv- The transport is usually not dominated by axisymmetric (channel) modes

Perceptions of satisfaction in patients with an implant-crown in the aesthetic zone
Creators: name: Afrashtehfar, Kelvin Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Problem: There is little understanding of patients’ experiences and perceptions with satisfaction relating to a single-tooth implant in the aesthetic zone. Objectives: The objective of this study was to better understand patients’ lived experiences with a single tooth-implant crown in the aesthetic zone, especially their perceptions of satisfaction. Methods: An interpretive phenomenological analysis approach was the adopted research design. In the maintenance phase, 13 current patients who previously had a maxillary implant placed in the aesthetic zone and restored with a single-unit prosthesis from dental specialty trainees at the participating university were invited to join the study, from which nine participants, ages ranging from 24 to 76 years, were included. Demographics, digital photographs, intraoral scans, and self-administered questionnaires were collected to assist in identifying diversity in the sample. The phenomenological data, comprised of audio-recorded semi-structured one-to-one interviews with the participants, were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed thematically, aided by computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. Results: Participants underlined that a single-tooth implant is not simply a technological solution, since they typically perceive it as recovering their normal lives. Patient satisfaction’s multidimensional nature was corroborated since the perceived reasons for satisfaction varied widely among the group of participants. It seems that negative feelings of dissatisfaction arose for some participants during the treatment process originating from adverse events, patient-clinician relationships, and/or perceptions of high expectations or uncertainty, whereas, these feelings eventually mostly diminished to the extent that participants expressed overall satisfaction with the treatment outcome. Underlying this was usually a perception of improvement in the social aspect of their lives, including in self-esteem and self-confidence, by having their appearance restored in a natural way, despite some of them recognizing that the resulting appearance was not perfectly matching their natural dentition. Conclusion: Many aspects of the treatment, especially the final outcome, influenced participant satisfaction at different stages of the process. The results should provide clinicians with an improved understanding of the basis for managing patients’ expectations with information reiteratively and efficiently. This may ultimately reduce the potential for negative feelings of patients toward the implant treatment experience.

description: [Abridged] We extend color-magnitude relations for moderate-luminosity X-ray AGN hosts and non-AGN galaxies through the galaxy formation epoch in the Chandra Deep Fields. We utilized analyses of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to assess the role of moderate-luminosity AGNs in galaxy evolution. First, we confirm some previous results and extend them to higher redshifts, e.g., there is no apparent color bimodality for AGN hosts from z~0-2, but non-AGN galaxy color bimodality exists up to z~3; most AGNs reside in massive hosts and the AGN fraction rises strongly toward higher stellar mass up to z~2-3; and the colors of both AGN hosts and non-AGN galaxies become redder as the stellar mass increases up to z~2-3. Second, we point out that it is critical to use mass-matched samples to examine color-magnitude relations of AGN hosts and non-AGN galaxies. We show that for mass-matched samples up to z~2-3, AGN hosts lie in the same CMD region as non-AGN galaxies; i.e., there is no specific clustering of AGN hosts around the red sequence, the top of the blue cloud, or the green valley in between. The AGN fraction (~10%) is mostly independent of host-galaxy color, providing an indication of the duty cycle of SMBH growth in typical massive galaxies. These results are in contrast to those obtained with non-mass-matched samples where there is apparent AGN clustering in the CMD and the AGN fraction generally increases as the color becomes redder. We also find, for mass-matched samples, that the SFRs of AGN hosts are typically a factor of ~2-3 larger than those of non-AGN galaxies at z~0-1, whereas this difference diminishes at z~1-3. Our results can be reasonably explained by two main ingredients, color-mass correlation and passive or secular evolution of galaxies; and thus tightly constrain any effects from moderate-luminosity AGN feedback upon color-magnitude properties over the ~80% of cosmic time.
