Development and evaluation of software for applied clinical genomics
Creators: name: Shyr, Casper
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: High-throughput next-generation DNA sequencing has evolved rapidly over the past 20 years. The Human Genome Project published its first draft of the human genome in 2000 at an enormous cost of 3 billion dollars, and was an international collaborative effort that spanned more than a decade. Subsequent technological innovations have decreased that cost by six orders of magnitude down to a thousand dollars, while throughput has increased by over 100 times to a current delivery of gigabase of data per run. In bioinformatics, significant efforts to capitalize on the new capacities have produced software for the identification of deviations from the reference sequence, including single nucleotide variants, short insertions/deletions, and more complex chromosomal characteristics such as copy number variations and translocations. Clinically, hospitals are starting to incorporate sequencing technology as part of exploratory projects to discover underlying causes of diseases with suspected genetic etiology, and to provide personalized clinical decision support based on patients’ genetic predispositions. As with any new large-scale data, a need has emerged for mechanisms to translate knowledge from computationally oriented informatics specialists to the clinically oriented users who interact with it. In the genomics field, the complexity of the data, combined with the gap in perspectives and skills between computational biologists and clinicians, present an unsolved grand challenge for bioinformaticians to translate patient genomic information to facilitate clinical decision-making. This doctoral thesis focuses on a comparative design analysis of clinical decision support systems and prototypes interacting with patient genomes under various sectors of healthcare to ultimately improve the treatment and well-being of patients. Through a combination of usability methodologies across multiple distinct clinical user groups, the thesis highlights reoccurring domain-specific challenges and introduces ways to overcome the roadblocks for translation of next-generation sequencing from research laboratory to a multidisciplinary hospital environment. To improve the interpretation efficiency of patient genomes and informed by the design analysis findings, a novel computational approach to prioritize exome variants based on automated appraisal of patient phenotypes is introduced. Finally, the thesis research incorporates applied genome analysis via clinical collaborations to inform interface design and enable mastery of genome analysis.
title: Theraband® CLX gold reduces knee-width index but increases gluteus medius activity during the barbell back squat
Creators: name: Vardy, Leah
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Squatting with resistance bands around the distal portion of the thighs above the patella have grown in popularity. They have been thought to act as a proprioceptive aid by activating the gluteus muscles and therefore, preventing medial knee collapse. The objectives of this thesis were: 1) to determine how the resistance bands would affect lower body muscle activation and 2) to examine how the kinematics of the squat (i.e., knee width index (KWI) and knee angle) may change with the addition of the resistance bands. Twenty-three resistance trained individuals (twelve males and eleven females) completed one set of three repetitions of the barbell back squat (BBS) at 87% of their 1 repetition maximum (RM). This protocol was completed under four conditions; no band, a red band, black band and gold band in a randomized order. A significant difference in the gluteus medius (GME) was found in the gold band condition compared to all other conditions. The KWI was significantly lower with the gold band in comparison to the no band and red band conditions. Overall, males had significantly higher KWI values in comparison to their female counterparts in the band conditions. While placing a gold band may increase the muscle activation of the GME during the squat, the lower KWI values may lead to an increase in knee injuries.

description: We consider the family of singularly nonautonomous plate equation with structural damping \[ u_{tt} + a(t,x)u_{t} + (- Δ) u_{t} + (-Δ)^{2} u + λu = f(u), \] in a bounded domain $Ω\subset \R^n$, with Navier boundary conditions. When the nonlinearity $f$ is dissipative we show that this problem is globally well posed in $H^2_0(Ω) \times L^2(Ω)$ and has a family of pullback attractors which is upper-semicontinuous under small perturbations of the damping $a$.

description: The ground-state energy of the Hubbard model on a Bethe lattice with infinite connectivity at half filling is calculated for the insulating phase. Using Kohn's transformation to derive an effective Hamiltonian for the strong-coupling limit, the resulting class of diagrams is determined. We develop an algorithm for an algebraic evaluation of the contributions of high-order terms and check it by applying it to the Falicov-Kimball model that is exactly solvable. For the Hubbard model, the ground-state energy is exactly calculated up to order t^12/U^11. The results of the strong-coupling expansion deviate from numerical calculations as quantum Monte Carlo (or density-matrix renormalization-group) by less than 0.13% (0.32% respectively) for U>4.76.

Capacitance readout circuits based on weakly-coupled resonators
Creators: name: Hafizi-Moori, Siamak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Capacitive sensors and their associated readout circuits are well known and have been used in many measurement applications in different industries. Improving the sensitivity, resolution and accuracy of measuring small capacitance changes has always been one of the important research topics, especially in recent years that sensors are becoming smaller in size with lower associated capacitance values. This thesis focuses proposes a new method for implementing capacitance readout circuits with higher sensitivity. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that this method has ever been applied directly in electrical domain for capacitance measurement applications. The proposed method, which is based on weakly-coupled-resonators (WCRs) concept, can achieve considerably (orders of magnitudes) higher sensitivity while simplifying the analog front end circuitry and reducing the cost. For comparison, capacitance-to-frequency conversion readout circuits were chosen, which are one of the most reliable and best performing designs and also the closest to our WCR method since both involve shift in natural modes due to capacitance changes. Analysis and SPICE simulations followed by experiments proved the concept. The experimental results have shown almost two orders of magnitude higher relative sensitivity for our two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) WCR-based system. In the next step we proposed a novel (named hybrid) method to reduce the measurement error considerably (4 to 6 times lower). Hybrid method is robust and insensitive to variations in excitation frequency, which is one of the main sources for errors. We have also analyzed the use of active inductors in our coupled resonators. The analyses and simulations proved the concept. This opens an avenue towards implementation of WCR-based readout in integrated circuits; specifically applicable for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices, and even integrating both MEMS sensors and the readout circuit in the same integrated circuit (IC) package. Another route on this research was to exploit the insensitivity and robustness of three-degree-of freedom (3DOF) weakly-coupled resonators to resonant frequency deviations. Analyses, followed by simulations, proved that applying 3DOF WCR in sensing differential capacitance changes does not require frequency tracking, yet has the same sensitivity achieved in 2DOF-based readout circuits.

description: Plastics are the most common polymers used in various industries. However, million tons of plastics are produced and disposed every year around the world, and part of them end up entering the environment and agricultural ecosystems in the form of microplastics. Microplastics have become an environmental and health threat to aquatic species and humans because they are small and can easily reach water bodies for municipal and agricultural uses. Microplastics have been traced in food commodities and products derived from animals and even found in bottles of drinking water. As an approach to permanently remediating microplastics, current microplastic degradation techniques, however, require high energy inputs and thus are generally not cost-efficient. High-voltage atmospheric cold plasma (HVACP) is a low-cost energy-efficient technology to produce highly reactive species that can induce physicochemical changes in polymers. This study, for the first time, used HVACP as a novel remediation strategy for microplastics. HVACP was generated by dielectric barrier discharge at 50 kV using oxygen, nitrogen, or their mixture as working gas. Two types of microplastics, polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), were treated for 30 min, and the effect of 24-h post-treatment was also studied. The properties of HVACP-treated microplastics, including weight, particle size, crystallinity, melting point, carbonyl index (CI), and surface morphology, were comprehensively analyzed. HVACP treatments were found effective in degrading both PP and LDPE microplastics. A larger extent of degradation was observed with PP microplastics treated by O/N mixture plasma, but the nitrogen plasma-treated sample showed a higher degree of oxidation according to its CI. For PE microplastics, oxygen plasma caused more degradation, but post-treatment did not promote further oxidation. The results indicated two potential mechanisms for microplastic degradation by HVACP. LDPE microplastics were degraded by oxidative reactions caused by highly reactive oxygen species, and PP microplastics followed a hydrolytic pathway of degradation as they became more hydrophilic after HVACP treatment. This study proved that HVACP is a promising method for microplastic degradation, and thus has great potential for addressing the severe challenges of microplastics that the food and agriculture sectors are currently facing.
An exactly solvable self-convolutive recurrence

description: We consider a self-convolutive recurrence whose solution is the sequence of coefficients in the asymptotic expansion of the logarithmic derivative of the confluent hypergeometic function $U(a,b,z)$. By application of the Hilbert transform we convert this expression into an explicit, non-recursive solution in which the $n$th coefficient is expressed as the $(n-1)$th moment of a measure, and also as the trace of the $(n-1)$th iterate of a linear operator. Applications of these sequences, and hence of the explicit solution provided, are found in quantum field theory as the number of Feynman diagrams of a certain type and order, in Brownian motion theory, and in combinatorics.

description: The gravitational behavior of antimatter is still unknown. While we may be confident that antimatter is self-attractive, the interaction between matter and antimatter might be either attractive or repulsive. We investigate this issue on theoretical grounds. Starting from the CPT invariance of physical laws, we transform matter into antimatter in the equations of both electrodynamics and gravitation. In the former case, the result is the well-known change of sign of the electric charge. In the latter, we find that the gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter is a mutual repulsion, i.e. antigravity appears as a prediction of general relativity when CPT is applied. This result supports cosmological models attempting to explain the Universe accelerated expansion in terms of a matter-antimatter repulsive interaction.

description: We report results of microwave surface impedance measurements of LiFeAs single crystals. The in-plane penetration depth depends on temperature exponentially at low temperatures, which strongly suggests that this material has the nodeless superconducting gap. The temperature dependence of the superfluid density indicates that LiFeAs is a multi-gap superconductor with at least two isotropic gaps. In addtion, the real part of the microwave conductivity exhibits a large enhancement below $T_\mathrm{c}$, indicating that the quasi-particle relaxation time, $τ$, increases rapidly below $T_\mathrm{c}$. We believe that this enhancement is rather common to all superconductors where an inelastic scattering is dominant above $T_\mathrm{c}$, irrespective of the strength of the electron correlation.

Drivers of viral diversity and community compositional change over spatial and temporal scales in coastal British Columbia
Creators: name: Gustavsen, Julia Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Marine viruses are ubiquitous, abundant, and genetically diverse in natural waters. They play key roles in nutrient and carbon cycles. The composition of marine viral communities changes seasonally and repeats annually, and such patterns can be driven by their hosts in response to environmental changes. Moreover, environmental parameters can also directly affect the viral community through the decay of viruses, and differences in viral infectivity under different conditions. Marine viral communities show changes over time and space, but the mechanisms that drive compositional changes and maintain high diversity are largely unexplored. Determining factors affecting viral community composition and structure is essential to explain how viral diversity is maintained. This dissertation will assess the diversity of marine viral communities, and the role of the environment and putative viral hosts in driving this diversity. The relationship between environmental parameters and the diversity of viruses and their putative hosts was explored in coastal seawater samples along a transect and over a 13-month time series at a nearshore location. I used PCR amplification to target ecologically-important double-stranded DNA (T4-like myoviruses) and single-stranded RNA (picorna-like) viruses, as well as their putative bacterial (16S rRNA gene) and eukaryotic (18S rRNA gene) hosts were examined. These were interpreted in the context of nutrients, salinity, and temperature. I observed patchiness in the distribution and diversity of viral communities across space and time (Chapter 2). Chapter 2 greatly increased the known genetic diversity of marine picorna-like viruses with 145 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) occurring within previously seen phylogenetic clades. In Chapter 3 there were temporal shifts in dominance of phylogenetically-related viruses and most viral OTUs were ephemeral. In Chapter 4, I demonstrated that nutrients, salinity, and temperature drive the co-occurrence of viruses and their putative hosts. Finally, in Chapter 5, I revealed that specific viral and protistan taxa were associated with controlling species composition and the demise of a phytoplankton bloom. Altogether, this dissertation advances the understanding of the phylogenetic structure of viral communities over time, the drivers of host-virus relationships, and the dynamics of viral and microbial communities during blooms by assessing multiple groups of viruses and microbes.

We demonstrate their relevance in the study of theoretical problems, such as the continuity of these measures and the logarithmic capacity of their support. Since our approach is based on a reversible transformation between pairs of Jacobi matrices, we also discuss its application to an inverse / approximation problem. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithms are stable and can reliably compute Jacobi matrices of large order.

description: A search for second and third generation scalar and vector leptoquarks produced in ep collisions via the lepton flavour violating processes ep -> mu X and ep -> tau X is performed by the H1 experiment at HERA. The full data sample taken at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt{s} = 319 GeV is used for the analysis, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 245 pb^-1 of e^+ p and 166 pb^-1 of e^- p collision data. No evidence for the production of such leptoquarks is observed in the H1 data. Leptoquarks produced in e^+- p collisions with a coupling strength of lambda=0.3 and decaying with the same coupling strength to a muon-quark pair or a tau-quark pair are excluded at 95% confidence level up to leptoquark masses of 712 GeV and 479 GeV, respectively.

Proposing Interventions for Disabled Americans Pushed into Incarceration and Homelessness

description: Mass incarceration and homelessness are prevalent issues in the United States, affecting hundreds of thousands of people each year. Additionally, about a quarter of Americans have at least one disability (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2022). While there is literature that documents the relationship between disability and homelessness and disability and incarceration, research has yet to connect the pipelines that push disabled Americans into both of those systems. The purpose of this literature review, therefore, is to synthesize existing research, news articles, and advocacy information into a diagram describing the factors that push disabled Americans into incarceration and/or homelessness over the life course. I then propose points of intervention to dismantle these pipelines. Disabled people face barriers to receiving a high-quality education, are more likely to be affected by the school-to-prison pipeline, and face discrimination in employment, housing, and community involvement. Additionally, the effects of homelessness and incarceration on disabled individuals have substantial overlap in the spheres of health, employment, housing, and community involvement. These challenges compound each other across the life course and are thus very important to dismantle. The points of intervention identified in this thesis have serious implications for expanding public policy to target disabled people affected by incarceration and homelessness in this country.

description: Seit dem Oktober 2008 hat – mit etwas materieller Unterstützung des Landesjugendamtes – eine träger- und ressortübergreifende Arbeitsgruppe an den hier veröffentlichten Leitlinien gearbeitet. Sie wurden vor gut einem Jahr im Jugendhilfeausschuss der Stadtgemeinde Bremen vorgestellt. Mit der Vorlage dieser praxisbezogenen Leitlinien ist es natürlich nicht getan. Sie müssen in den Arbeitsfeldern der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe offensiv diskutiert, ihre Vorschläge und Anregungen sollen im Alltag umgesetzt, erprobt und verbessert werden. Um dieses zu erleichtern, lege ich den Fachkräften, den öffentlichen und freien Trägern der Jugendhilfe und den jugendpolitischen Gremien auf kommunaler und stadtteilbezogener Ebene diese fachliche Lektüre ans Herz.

description: The diffusive motion of a colloidal particle trapped inside a small cavity filled with fluid is reduced by hydrodynamic interactions with the confining walls. In this work, we study these wall effects on a spherical particle entrapped in a closed cylinder. We calculate the diffusion coefficient along the radial, azimuthal and axial direction for different particle positions. At all locations the diffusion is smaller than in a bulk fluid and it becomes anisotropic near the container's walls. We present a simple model which reasonably well desribes the simulation results for the given dimensions of the cylinder, which are taken from recent experimental work.

Focus, predication, and polarity in Kwak'wala
Creators: name: Littell, Patrick William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In this dissertation, I investigate the formal semantics and pragmatics of alternative focus in Kwak'wala, a critically endangered Northern Wakashan language of British Columbia, Canada. I show that several notable phenomena and outstanding mysteries of Kwak'wala grammar involve focus expression, and by making their discourse contexts explicit we can observe how changes in discourse-relevant alternatives correspond to changes in morphosyntactic expression. These observations invite reappraisals of classic claims about Kwak'wala and Wakashan grammar, such as the claims that Kwak'wala lacks a noun/verb/adjective distinction (Boas et al., 1947, p. 280) and also lacks a copula (Boas et al., 1947, p. 205). Instead, I argue that Kwak'wala does indeed have a noun/verb/adjective distinction as well as equative (but not predicative) copulas, and show that these are tied up closely with the expression of focus. I argue, contra Koch's (2008) proposal for Nɬeʔkepmxcín focus, that Kwak'wala focus is not based on alignment to the edges of prosodic phrases, but based on the use of marked predication structures in which speakers choose non-optimal predicates like NPs and DPs over unmarked predicates like VPs. I also examine Kwak'wala additive and exclusive focus operators, and in particular investigate their distinctive association patterns, in which different exclusive operators associate with different types of “focus phrase” (Drubig 1994), while additive operators exhibit free association. I propose a hybrid focus model, a combination of the models in Wold (1996), Roberts (1996/2012) and Krifka (2006), among others, in which Kwak'wala focus operators associate with focus phrases, but derive their specific alternatives indirectly, through constraints on a contextual “question under discussion” variable. Finally, I examine the ubiquitous “discourse” enclitic =ʔm, which I propose expresses a discourse-relevant bipolar (e.g., {P,¬P}) contrast, and thereby distinguishes bipolar from monopolar (e.g., {P}) questions and answers (cf. Krifka 2013). The appearance of =ʔm in all additive and exclusive sentences provides morphological evidence that such sentences respond to complex alternative sets consisting of both constituent-type and polar-type contrasts (Krifka 1998, Rullmann 2003).

The subgiant branch of omega Cen seen through high-resolution spectroscopy. I. The first stellar generation in omega Centauri?

description: We analysed high-resolution UVES spectra of six stars belonging to the subgiant branch of omega Centauri, and derived abundance ratios of 19 chemical elements (namely Al, Ba, C, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, La, Mg, Mn, N, Na, Ni, Sc, Si, Sr, Ti, and Y). A comparison with previous abundance determinations for red giants provided remarkable agreement and allowed us to identify the sub-populations to which our targets belong. We found that three targets belong to a low-metallicity population at [Fe/H]~-2.0 dex, [alpha/Fe]~+0.4 dex and [s/Fe]~0 dex. Stars with similar characteristics were found in small amounts by past surveys of red giants. We discuss the possibility that they belong to a separate sub-population that we name VMP (very metal-poor, at most 5% of the total cluster population), which - in the self-enrichment hypothesis - is the best-candidate first stellar generation in omega Cen. Two of the remaining targets belong to the dominant metal-poor population (MP) at [Fe/H]~-1.7 dex, and the last one to the metal-intermediate (MInt) one at [Fe/H]~-1.2 dex. The existence of the newly defined VMP population could help to understand some puzzling results based on low-resolution spectroscopy (Sollima et al., Villanova et al.) in their age differences determinations, because the metallicity resolution of these studies was probably not enough to detect the VMP population. The VMP could also correspond to some of the additional substructures of the subgiant-branch region found in the latest HST photometry (Bellini et al.). After trying to correlate chemical abundances with substructures in the subgiant branch of omega Cen, we found that the age difference between the VMP and MP populations should be small (0+/-2 Gyr), while the difference between the MP and MInt populations could be slightly larger (2+/-2~Gyr).
