description: A step by step procedure to derive analytically the exact dynamical evolution equations of the probability density functions (PDF) of well known kinetic wealth exchange economic models is shown. This technique gives a dynamical insight into the evolution of the PDF, e.g., allowing the calculation of its relaxation times. Their equilibrium PDFs can also be calculated by finding its stationary solutions. This gives as a result an integro-differential equation, which can be solved analytically in some cases and numerically in others. This should provide some guidance into the type of probability density functions that can be derived from particular economic agent exchange rules, or for that matter, any other kinetic model of gases with particular collision physics.

description: The structure of mRNA molecules plays an important role in its interactions with trans-acting factors, notably RNA binding proteins (RBPs), thus contributing to the functional consequences of this interplay. However, current transcriptome-wide experimental methods to chart these interactions are limited by their poor sensitivity. Here we extend the hiCLIP atlas of duplexes bound by Staufen1 (STAU1) ∼10-fold, through careful consideration of experimental assumptions, and the development of bespoke computational methods which we apply to existing data. We present Tosca, a Nextflow computational pipeline for the processing, analysis and visualisation of proximity ligation sequencing data generally. We use our extended duplex atlas to discover insights into the RNA selectivity of STAU1, revealing the importance of structural symmetry and duplex-span-dependent nucleotide composition. Furthermore, we identify heterogeneity in the relationship between transcripts with STAU1-bound 3' UTR duplexes and metabolism of the associated RNAs that we relate to RNA structure: transcripts with short-range proximal 3' UTR duplexes have high degradation rates, but those with long-range duplexes have low rates. Overall, our work enables the integrative analysis of proximity ligation data delivering insights into specific features and effects of RBP-RNA structure interactions.

description: We address special cases of a question of Eisenbud on the ideals of secant varieties of Veronese re-embeddings of arbitrary varieties. Eisenbud's question generalizes a conjecture of Eisenbud, Koh and Stillman (EKS) for curves. We prove that set-theoretic equations of small secant varieties to a high degree Veronese re-embedding of a smooth variety are determined by equations of the ambient Veronese variety and linear equations. However this is false for singular varieties, and we give explicit counter-examples to the EKS conjecture for singular curves. The techniques we use also allow us to prove a gap and uniqueness theorem for symmetric tensor rank. We put Eisenbud's question in a more general context about the behaviour of border rank under specialisation to a linear subspace, and provide an overview of conjectures coming from signal processing and complexity theory in this context.

title: ANALYSIS OF MONOCHLOROBIMANE AND HUMAN GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE
Creators: name: Iype, Susan N.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1991

description: The means by which tumor cells survive anti-neoplastic chemotherapy is not well understood. Many of the anti-neoplastic drugs may be viewed as electrophilic compounds. The primary means by which cells detoxify electrophiles is through the glutathione-related detoxification scheme. It is important to develop accurate and facile techniques to study the role of glutathione (GSH) in detoxification mechanisms. The electrophile, monochlorobimane (MCB), has been proposed to be an excellent fluorescent probe for the detection of GSH. Initial studies showed that low concentrations of MCB (10-100 μM) were adequate to label GSH in rodent cell lines. However, when the MCB assay was extended to human cell lines higher concentrations of MCB (1000 μM) were required. The MCB assay was found not to be ideal when strictly quantitative results were necessary. However, the MCB assay was found to be adequate for the qualitative analysis of GSH levels between different cell lines. These properties of MCB were exemplified when flow cytometric analysis of GSH levels (using 1000 μM MCB) in seven human and rodent cell lines correlated with data acquired from high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and standard GSH assays. To better define why there is variation in results when using MCB to study rodent and human cells, the differences in MCB affinities and kinetics properties between species-specific glutathione S-transferases (GST) were analyzed. To accomplish this task GST isoenzymes from human liver and rat liver were isolated, purified and characterized by kinetics analysis using MCB as a substrate. The kinetics parameters of MCB and GSH were determined using human GSTs π, ᴪ, B1B2, B2B2, and rat GST 1-2, 3-3 and 3-4. The human acidic GST has a Km of 264 μM for MCB and a Vmax of 1.99 μmole GS-bimane/min-mg protein. The human basic GST B1B2 and B2B2 have Km values of 354 μM and 283 μM, and V max values of 33.3 and 34.6 μmole GS-bimane/min-mg protein. The rat basic GST had a Km of 199 μM and a V max of 35.5 μmole GS-bimane/min-mg protein. The human neutral GST had a Km of 204 μM and a Vmax of 6.5 μmole GS-bimane/min-mg protein. The rat neutral GST had a Km of 2.6 μM and a Vmax of 35.1 μmole GS-bimane/min-mg protein. The kcat/Km ratio showed that the rat liver GSTs were excellent catalysts for the reaction of GSH and MCB. In addition, the GS-bimane adduct was found to act as an inhibitor in the GST-catalyzed reaction of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and GSH (I50 (rat liver GST) = 70 μM; I50 (human placental GST) = 35 μM). This study leads to the conclusion that inadequate labeling of GSH with the MCB assay (< 1000 μM) in human cell lines results from the low affinity of MCB for the human GSTs.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the structural properties and the thermal expansion behavior of 17 different Prussian Blue Analogs (PBAs) with compositions MII3[(M')III(CN)6]2.nH2O and MII2[FeII(CN)6].nH2O, where MII = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, (M')III = Co, Fe and n is the number of water molecules, which range from 5 to 18 for these compounds. The PBAs were synthesized via standard chemical precipitation methods, and temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction studies were performed in the temperature range between -150oC (123 K) and room-temperature. The vast majority of the studied PBAs were found to crystallize in cubic structures of space groups, and . The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters was taken to compute an average coefficient of linear thermal expansion in the studied temperature range. Of the 17 compounds, 9 display negative values for the average coefficient of linear thermal expansion, which can be as large as 39.7 x 10-6 K-1 for Co3[Co(CN)6]2.12H2O. All of the MII3[CoIII(CN)6]2.nH2O compounds show negative thermal expansion behavior, which correlates with the Irving-Williams series for metal complex stability. The thermal expansion behavior for the PBAs of the MII3[FeIII(CN)6]2.nH2O family are found to switch between positive (for M = Mn, Co, Ni) and negative (M = Cu, Zn) behavior, depending on the choice of the metal cation (M). On the other hand, all of the MII2[FeII(CN)6].nH2O compounds show positive thermal expansion behavior.

Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Some complex problems are best addressed through the supportive involvement of more than one profession or discipline. This collective activity may help accomplish shared aims and improve things however the entanglements of joint working may also hinder these processes through increased complexity. Agencies that work together to help people, share a risk they may overlook, or fail to sufficiently address, the difficulties they are constituted to help. This risk often appears to increase in relation to the complexity both, of the situation they address, and of working together. This project investigates these processes using discourse analysis to examine naturally occurring data assembled from talk in inter-agency meetings. Meetings are a regular feature of collaborative working and can be complex social events that require active co-ordination and facilitation. History is littered with stories of meetings that have either failed to achieve decisions or have decided something inappropriate. This thesis aims to better understand some discursive processes underpinning these phenomena.

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between body posture and sagittal dental overjet in children before and after early orthodontic treatment with removable functional orthodontic appliances. Methods: Angle Class II patients (mean age 8.2 ± 1.2 years; 29 males and 25 females) with a distinctly enlarged overjet (> 9 mm) were retrospectively examined regarding body posture parameters before and after early orthodontic treatment. In addition, changes in overjet were investigated with the aid of plaster models. Forms of transverse dysgnathism (crossbite, lateral malocclusions) and open bite cases were excluded. Body posture parameters kyphosis, lordosis, surface rotation, pelvic tilt, pelvic torsion and trunk imbalance were analyzed by means of rasterstereographical photogrammetry to determine, if the orthodontic overjet correction is associated with specific changes in posture patterns. Results: In nearly all patients an overjet correction and an improvement regarding all body posture and back parameters could be noted after early orthodontic treatment. Overjet reduction (− 3.9 mm ± 2.1 mm) and pelvic torsion (− 1.28° ± 0,44°) were significantly (p < 0.05) and moderately correlated (R = 0.338) with no significant associations found for the other posture and back parameters (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Overjet reduction during early orthodontic treatment may be associated with a detectable effect on pelvic torsion.

title: ’Improperly and amorously consorting’:  post-1945 relationships between British women and German prisoners of war held in the UK
Creators: name: Ingham, Mary
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis concerns transgressive gender relations in Britain in the aftermath of WW2.  It examines illicit intimate relationships between British women and German prisoners of war held in the UK for several years immediately following WW2.  In discussing the significance of these relationships relative to gender roles, sexual relations and war, this study seeks to re-address and add a nuanced aspect to the question of the effect of the war on British women.  It is argued that in the context of the gendered dimension of the transition from war to peace, these controversial relationships highlight a neglected narrative of the conflicted early postwar years.  By exploring the subjectivity of both sides, this thesis also attempts to show how these relationships demonstrate susceptibility among younger age cohorts to wartime influences on British women.

Oral history testimony from the subjects themselves forms the main primary source material.  These narratives, comprising interviews and correspondence with 38 former prisoners of war and 61 women, were mostly collected in the mid- to late-1980s, when many of the subjects were in their early 60s.  A wide range of other sources, both primary and secondary, including official documents, newspapers and autobiographical accounts, has been used to complement, inform and verify or compare with the primary source material.  Secondary sources have been drawn on for contextual, comparative and reference purposes.

These initially prohibited relationships have been summarised in general discussion of fraternisation with UK-held enemy POWs, in terms of formal and informal policing of sexuality.  This thesis argues for the relevance of exploring individual protagonists’ lived experience in greater depth, to clarify their place in the debate on post-conflict sexuality, and their significance in the context of war, gender relations and women’s history.

description: Beneficial symbionts are horizontally or vertically transmitted to offspring, relying on host- or microbe-mediated mechanisms for colonisation. While multiple studies on symbionts transmitted internally or by feeding highlight host adaptations and dynamics of symbiont colonisation, less is known for beneficial microbes colonising host external surfaces, such as the insect cuticle. Here, we investigate the colonisation dynamics of a bacterial symbiont that protects eggs and larvae of Lagria villosa beetles against pathogens. After maternal application to the egg surface, symbionts colonise specialized cuticular invaginations on the dorsal surface of larvae. We assessed the colonisation time point and investigated the involvement of the host during this process. Symbionts remain on the egg surface before hatching, providing protection. Immediately after hatching, cells from the egg surface colonise the larvae and horizontal acquisition can occur, yet efficiency decreases with increasing larval age. Additionally, passive or host-aided translocation likely supports colonization of the larval symbiotic organs. This may be especially important for the dominant non-motile symbiont strain, while motility of additional strains in the symbiont community might also play a role. Our findings provide insights into colonisation dynamics of cuticle-associated defensive symbionts and suggest alternate or complementary strategies used by different strains for colonization.

The role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating platelet lifespan and function
Creators: name: De Silva, Enoli Shannon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Platelets are small discoid blood cells that regulate hemostasis and wound healing. Normal platelet function is largely contingent on the shape change reaction that occurs following the cells’ exposure to external stimuli and/or soluble agonists. Agonist-driven platelet shape change is mediated by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton (the cell’s structural framework) although the underlying molecular mechanisms are not precisely defined. Moreover, platelet lifespan is partly determined by apoptosis (programmed cell death); how the actin cytoskeleton regulates platelet apoptosis is also undefined. In response to ABT-737 (an apoptosis-inducing drug that targets Bcl-xL pro-survival protein), the 3 apoptotic markers of mitochondrial depolarization, surface phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and caspase-3 activation were all unaffected by the actin-depolymerizing drug cytochalasin D or the actin polymerizing drug jasplakinolide. Similar results were observed in platelets isolated from mice deficient in gelsolin, an actin-binding protein that is essential for normal cytoskeletal remodeling, suggesting that ABT-737 induces established markers of platelet apoptosis in an actin-independent manner. I then studied another actin-binding protein, filamin A (FLNA), which crosslinks actin filaments and also serves as an intracellular signalling scaffold. ABT-737 induced caspase-3 cleavage and PS exposure in control mouse platelets but these effects were essentially abrogated in platelets obtained from FLNA-null mice. These data point to a novel role for FLNA in the regulation of platelet apoptosis that is independent of the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, I studied the role of FLNA in regulating thrombin-driven platelet shape change. Preliminary data suggest that FLNA-null platelets show impaired early phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC), which is a key determinant of the shape change reaction. Collectively, my findings serve to delineate the respective roles for the actin cytoskeleton, and of FLNA, with respect to platelet shape change and apoptosis.

description: We compute the Post-Newtonian parameter (PPN),$γ$, for scalar-tensor gravity theory when the action functional for the scalar field is a non-standard one, namely the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) type action, used in the literature for a tachyon field. We investigate two different cases (Linear and conformal couplings) when the scalar field is non-minimally coupled to gravity via the scalar curvature. We find that the PPN parameter $γ$, which measures the amount of space curvature per unit rest mass, becomes a function of the effective mass of the scalar field. Using this PPN parameter, we calculate the time delay $Δτ$ for the signal to travel the round trip distance bertween a ground based antenna and a reflector placed in a spacecraft which is produced due to the grvitational field of Sun. We use this $Δτ$ to compare our result with that obtained by the Cassini mission and derive the constraints on the model parameters.

description: Generalized connections and their calculus have been developed in the context of quantum gravity. Here we apply them to abelian Chern-Simons theory. We derive the expectation values of holonomies in U(1) Chern-Simons theory using Stokes' theorem, flux operators and generalized connections. A framing of the holonomy loops arises in our construction, and we show how, by choosing natural framings, the resulting expectation values nevertheless define a functional over gauge invariant cylindrical functions. The abelian theory considered in the present article is test case for our method. It can also be applied to the non-abelian theory. Results for that case will be reported elsewhere.

description: Survivors of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can experience dissociation because of their trauma. Those survivors can also experience stigma stemming from their traumatic experiences, which may encourage disidentification from the stigmatized group (i.e., other survivors of ACEs). However, the relationships between disidentification and dissociation have not been empirically tested. Using a social identity framework, we examined whether stigmatized trauma perceptions (the degree to which a trauma is perceived as a stigmatized experience) predicted dissociative symptoms and disidentification using cross-sectional survey data. An online community sample of ACEs survivors (N = 181) completed measures of disidentification and dissociation. Stigmatized trauma perceptions were measured greater dissociation. The findings demonstrate a link between social disidentification and personal dissociation.Further research can explore this link in other types of stigmatized traumas (e.g., suicide)by respondents rating the extent to which they perceived ACEs are a stigmatizing experience. Path analysis revealed higher stigmatized trauma perceptions predicted more disidentification which resulted in greater dissociative symptoms, after controlling for ACEs and gender. The results show that survivors are more likely to disidentify from people with similar experiences when they feel their trauma is stigmatized. This disidentification was associated with The findings demonstrate a link between social disidentification and personal dissociation.

The symmetries used are the automorphisms of the Lie algebra of the corresponding three-dimensional isometry group acting on the hyper-surfaces of simultaneity for each Bianchi Type, as well as the scaling and the time reparametrization symmetry. A detailed application of the method is presented for Bianchi Type IV. The result is the acquisition of the general solution of Type IV in terms of sixth Painleve transcendent PVI, along with the known pp-wave solution. For Bianchi Types I, II, V the known entire solution space is attained and very briefly listed, along with two new Type V solutions of Euclidean and neutral signature and a Type I pp-wave metric.

Enumerative geometry problems for Calabi-Yau manifolds with an action
Creators: name: Pietromonaco, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation consists of two main chapters, each pertaining to the enumerative geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds with an action: In Chapter 2 we study Euler characteristics of the G-invariant Hilbert schemes of points on an Abelian surface with a symplectic action by finite group G. One can package these Euler characteristics into generating series, whose reciprocal we prove is a holomorphic modular form for a particular congruence subgroup. For the standard involution of multiplication by -1, we prove an analogue of the Yau-Zaslow formula--that is, these Euler characteristics determine a weighted number of curves invariant under the involution and with rational quotient. Motivated by the results of Chapter 2, in Chapter 3 we develop in more generality a theory counting invariant curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds with an involution. Our theory conjecturally results in analogues of the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants which count invariant curves of genus g and with genus h quotient. We prove the conjecture and compute all invariants in the case of a local Abelian surface with involution multiplication by -1, or a local Nikulin K3 surface together with the Nikuln involution.

description: A recent study [Tassel {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 167205 (2010)] has proposed a remarkable spin model for (CuCl)LaNb2O7, in which dimers are ferromagnetically coupled to each other on the distorted Shastry-Sutherland lattice. In this model, the intra-dimer exchange coupling J>0 is antiferromagnetic, while the inter-dimer exchange couplings are ferromagnetic and take different values, J_x,J_y<0, in the two bond directions. Anticipating that the highly frustrated character of this model may lead to a wide range of behaviors in (CuCl)LaNb2O7 and related compounds, we theoretically investigate the ground state phase diagram of this model in detail using the following three approaches: a strong-coupling expansion for small J_x and J_y, exact diagonalization for finite clusters, and a Schwinger boson mean field theory. When |J_x|, |J_y| ~ J, quantum phase transitions to various magnetically ordered phases (ferromagnetic, collinear stripe, and spiral) occur. The Schwinger boson analysis demonstrates that quantum fluctuations split the classical degeneracy of different spiral ground states. Implications for (CuCl)LaNb2O7 and related compounds are discussed in light of our theoretical results and existing experimental data.

description: In this paper we solve several problems concerning joint similarity to n-tuples of operators in noncommutative varieties in $[B(\cH)^n]_1$ associated with positive regular free holomorphic functions in $n$ noncommuting variables and with sets of noncommutative polynomials in $n$ indeterminates, where $B(\cH)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\cH$. In particular, if $f=X_1+...+X_n$ and $\cP=\{0\}$, the elements of the corresponding variety can be seen as noncommutative multivariable analogues of Agler's $m$-hypercontractions.

description: The flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1222+216 was detected in the very high energy gamma-ray band by MAGIC during a highly active gamma-ray phase following an alert by the LAT onboard Fermi. Its relatively hard spectrum without a cut off, together with the observed variability on timescale of ~10 min challenges standard emission models. If the emission originates in a portion of the relativistic jet located inside the BLR, severe absorption of gamma rays above few tens of GeV is expected due to the pair production process. These observations imply the existence of a very compact (R_b ~5 x 10^{14} cm) and very fast blob located far beyond the BLR radius, responsible for the rapidly varying high energy flux. However the long term (days-weeks) coherent evolution of the GeV flux recorded by LAT indicates that there could be also the substantial contribution from another larger emission region. We model the spectral energy distribution of PKS 1222+216 during the epoch of the MAGIC detection assuming three different scenarios,: (1) a one-zone model considering only the emission from a compact blob outside the BLR; (2) a two-zone model considering the compact blob plus an emitting region filling the whole jet cross-section located outside the BLR and (3) a two zone model with the jet emitting region inside the BLR. We find that in all cases the high-energy emission from the compact blob is dominated by the inverse Compton scattering of the IR thermal radiation of the dusty torus. Both regions are matter dominated, with a negligible Poynting flux. These results disfavor models in which the compact blob is the result of reconnection events inside the jet or "needles" of high-energy electrons. Instead, the observational framework and our radiative models could be compatible with scenarios in which the jet is re-collimated and focussed at large distances from the central BH.

The moderating role of executive functions on longitudinal relationships between anxiety and social communication difficulties in autistic children
Creators: name: Ng-Cordell, Elise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Background: Evidence suggests anxiety is associated with greater social communication difficulties among autistic children; however, findings regarding the direction of this relationship are mixed. In addition, it is not yet established whether executive functions (EFs) act as a protective factor, by moderating these relationships. In this study, we examined these associations longitudinally in a community sample of autistic pre-adolescents. In particular, we: (1) investigated whether anxiety predicts greater social communication difficulties over time, or vice versa, and (2) assessed the moderating effect of EF. Methods: Participants were drawn from Pathways, a pan-Canadian, longitudinal cohort study of autistic children (N = 157; 15% female; mean FSIQ = 84.8). We focused on two time points during pre-adolescence (age 9: mean age = 9.7 years, and age 10: mean age = 10.7 years). A cross-lagged panel model tested whether levels of parent-reported anxiety at age 9 predicted teacher-reported social communication difficulties at age 10, and vice versa (cross-lagged pathways). Next, multigroup analyses tested for similarity in cross-lagged pathways across different levels of teacher-reported EF ability. Results: Within our sample, average levels of anxiety were relatively low, and levels of anxiety and social communication difficulties decreased from age 9 to age 10. Analyses in the whole sample indicated that there were no significant longitudinal associations between anxiety and social communication difficulties. However, multi-group analyses revealed that among participants with clinically elevated behavioural dysregulation only, lower age 9 anxiety predicted increased social communication difficulties at age 10. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the importance of considering the potentially beneficial role some anxiety may play in shaping autistic children’s social development. We suggest potential pathways by which anxiety may be associated with emergent social abilities for children with behavioural regulation difficulties. Further multi-method and longitudinal research is required to clarify the mechanisms underlying this relationship, in order to establish the clinical implications of these findings. Such research has the potential to enhance the precision of clinical care for autistic youth, with the ultimate goal of providing more individualized care to support both social and emotional wellbeing.
