description: Biological data objects often have both of the following features: (i) they are functions rather than single numbers or vectors, and (ii) they are correlated due to phylogenetic relationships. In this paper we give a flexible statistical model for such data, by combining assumptions from phylogenetics with Gaussian processes. We describe its use as a nonparametric Bayesian prior distribution, both for prediction (placing posterior distributions on ancestral functions) and model selection (comparing rates of evolution across a phylogeny, or identifying the most likely phylogenies consistent with the observed data). Our work is integrative, extending the popular phylogenetic Brownian Motion and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models to functional data and Bayesian inference, and extending Gaussian Process regression to phylogenies. We provide a brief illustration of the application of our method.

description: Recently, a chaos-based image encryption algorithm called MCKBA (Modified Chaotic-Key Based Algorithm) was proposed. This paper analyzes the security of MCKBA and finds that it can be broken with a differential attack, which requires only four chosen plain-images. Performance of the attack is verified by experimental results. In addition, some defects of MCKBA, including insensitivity with respect to changes of plain-image/secret key, are reported.

description: Sachs has derived quaternion field equations that fully exploit the underlying symmetry of the principle of general relativity, one in which the fundamental 10 component metric field is replaced by a 16 component four-vector quaternion. Instead of the 10 field equations of Einstein's tensor formulation, these equations are 16 in number corresponding to the 16 analytic parametric functions {\partial}x^{μ'}/{\partial}x^{ν} of the Einstein Lie Group. The difference from the Einstein equations is that these equations are not covariant with respect to reflections in space-time, as a consequence of their underlying quaternionic structure. These equations can be combined into a part that is even and a part that is odd with respect to spatial or temporal reflections. This paper constructs a four-vector quaternion solution of the quaternionic field equation of Sachs that corresponds to a spherically symmetric static metric. We show that the equations for this four-vector quaternion corresponding to a vacuum solution lead to differential equations that are identical to the corresponding Schwarzschild equations for the metric tensor components.

description: Tunneling density of states of both the massless and massive (gapped) particles in metallic carbon nanotubes is known to have anomalous energy dependence. This is the result of coupling to multiple low-energy bosonic excitation (plasmons). For both kinds of particles the ensuing effect is the suppression of the density of states by electron-electron interactions. We demonstrate that the optical absorption between gapless and gapped states is affected by the many-body effects in the opposite way. The absorption probability is enhanced compared with the non-interacting value and develops a power-law frequency dependence with the exponent -0.2 for typical nanotubes.

Finitely annihilated groups

description: We say a group is finitely annihilated if it is the set-theoretic union of all its proper normal finite index subgroups. We investigate this new property, and observe that it is independent of several other well known group properties. For finitely generated groups, we show that in many cases it is equivalent to having non-cyclic abelianisation, and at the same time construct an explicit infinite family of counterexamples to this. We show for finitely presented groups that this property is neither Markov nor co-Markov. In the context of our work we show that the weight of a non-perfect finite group, or a non-perfect finitely generated solvable group, is the same as the weight of its abelianisation. We generalise a theorem of Brodie-Chamberlain-Kappe on finite coverings of groups, and finish with some generalisations and variations of our new definition.

Our current observing campaign is with the 64-metre Parkes radio telescope, using a multibeam receiver with 300 MHz of bandwidth from 1.2-1.5 GHz. Here we provide an overview of the various factors that must be considered in the signal processing for such an experiment. We also briefly describe the flux limits which we expect to set with our current observations, including a directional limit for Centaurus A.

Proposal of new BSM searches at the LHC and at Telescopes
Creators: name: Sala, Filippo
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2019

description: The LHC has pushed the scale of the needed new physics (NP) beyond the ~ TeV range. How to experimentally test NP models at and beyond those scales?A first possibility is to look for low energy remnants of such theories, like pseudo-Goldstone bosons (aka ALPs). I will show how ALP masses between a few and 100 GeV are poorly constrained, derive new strong bounds on diphoton resonances in that range, and propose new promising searches at ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and Belle-II.A second possibility is to look for DM (much) heavier than a TeV in cosmic rays, that are observed up to 100 TeV and beyond by several ongoing and near-future telescopes (HESSII, CTA, TAIGA, ANTARES, IceCube, KM3NeT, CALET, AMS-02...). I will discuss the theory and phenomenology of models that evade the so-called DM unitarity bound, and thus enrich the physics case of such telescopes.The impact of both LHC and telescope searches on motivated UV frameworks will also be emphasised.

description: We investigate the muonic hydrogen 2P^{F=2}_{3/2} to 2S^{F=1}_{1/2} transition through a precise, non-perturbative numerical solution of the Dirac equation including the finite-size Coulomb force and finite size vacuum polarization. The results are compared with earlier perturbative calculations of (primarily) Borie, Martynenko, and Pachucki; and experimental results recently presented by Pohl et al., in which this very comparison is interpreted as requiring a modification of the proton charge radius from that obtained in electron scattering and electronic hydrogen analyses. We find no significant discrepancy between the perturbative and non-perturbative calculations, and present our results as confirmation of the perturbative methods.

Improving the sexual health of couples after prostate cancer : investigating the impact of mindfulness and CBT on the sexual health and intimacy of couples after prostate cancer and disseminating these therapies in a prostate cancer supportive care program
Creators: name: Kemerer, Bibiana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Sexual dysfunction is the most common consequence of prostate cancer (PCa) treatment and has been shown to directly impact the sexual function and quality of life of survivors’ partners. Best evidence on the psychosexual adjustment of PCa survivors after treatments indicates that patients can benefit from psychological interventions that address the emotional needs of patients, and such interventions should involve their partners. However, prostate cancer care programs often lack psychological therapies for their patients. Through this project, I aimed to address the need for these therapies in both academic research and clinical care, with two distinct objectives: 1) To test two therapies, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, in a sample of PCa survivor and partner couples through an RCT study design, and 2) to utilize Knowledge Translation to disseminate RCT findings to PCa patients and their partners through a Prostate Cancer Supportive Care program (PCSC). We first randomized PCa survivors and their partners to four consecutive weeks of either couples’ mindfulness therapy, couples’ CBT, or no treatment (control). Sexual distress and sexual satisfaction were significantly improved six weeks after both CBT and mindfulness interventions compared to the control group, but only sexual distress remained significantly improved at six months, and quality of life improved, particularly for survivors. For the second phase of this project, we used two Knowledge Translation (KT) frameworks--the Knowledge to Action Cycle and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, to bring this evidence into practice. We partnered with the PCSC to collect data from PCa patients and staff, and used those data to implement patient education materials in the program. We created 1) an information card that explained CBT and mindfulness, which contained a link to 2) a patient education video that instructed patients on how to practice these skills at home, hosted on 3) a webpage with external CBT and mindfulness resource links (https://pcscprogram.ca/module-2/mind-cbt/). By testing and establishing therapies for these populations, and then moving them into clinical practice, we successfully brought together two areas in health research to improve the psychological aspects to sexual health for PCa patient and partner couples.

description: In conformal field theory (CFT) on simply connected domains of the Riemann sphere, the natural conformal symmetries under self-maps are extended, in a certain way, to local symmetries under general conformal maps, and this is at the basis of the powerful techniques of CFT. Conformal maps of simply connected domains naturally have the structure of an infinite-dimensional groupoid, which generalizes the finite-dimensional group of self-maps. We put a topological structure on the space of conformal maps on simply connected domains, which makes it into a topological groupoid. Further, we (almost) extend this to a local manifold structure based on the infinite-dimensional Frechet topological vector space of holomorphic functions on a given domain A. From this, we develop the notion of conformal A-differentiability at the identity. Our main conclusion is that quadratic differentials characterizing cotangent elements on the local manifold enjoy properties similar to those of the holomorphic stress-energy tensor of CFT; these properties underpin the local symmetries of CFT. Applying the general formalism to CFT correlation functions, we show that the stress-energy tensor is exactly such a quadratic differential. This is at the basis of constructing the stress-energy tensor in conformal loop ensembles. It also clarifies the relation between Cardy's boundary conditions for CFT on simply connected domains, and the expression of the stress-energy tensor in terms of metric variations.

description: We study the geometric and physical foundations of Finsler gravity theories with metric compatible connections defined on tangent bundles, or (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds). There are analyzed alternatives to Einstein gravity (including theories with broken local Lorentz invariance) and shown how general relativity and modifications can be equivalently re-formulated in Finsler like variables. We focus on prospects in modern cosmology and Finsler acceleration of Universe. All known formalisms are outlined - anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection structure, the geometry of the Levi-Civita and Finsler type connections, all defined by the same metric structure, Einstein equations in standard form and/or with nonholonomic/ Finsler variables - and the following topics are discussed: motivation for Finsler gravity; generalized principles of equivalence and covariance; fundamental geometric/ physical structures; field equations and nonholonomic constraints; equivalence with other models of gravity and viability criteria. Einstein-Finsler gravity theories are elaborated following almost the same principles as in the general relativity theory but extended to Finsler metrics and connections. Gravity models with anisotropy can be defined on (co) tangent bundles or on nonholonomic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. In the second case, Finsler geometries can be modelled as exact solutions in Einstein gravity. Finally, some examples of generic off-diagonal metrics and generalized connections, defining anisotropic cosmological Einstein-Finsler spaces are analyzed; certain criteria for Finsler accelerating evolution are analyzed.

description: We show that the description of the space-time of general relativity as a diagonal four dimensional submanifold immersed in an eight dimensional hypercomplex manifold, in torsionless case, leads to a geometrical origin of the cosmological constant. The cosmological constant appears naturally in the new field equations and its expression is given as the norm of a four-vector $U$, i.e., $Λ=6g_{μν}U^{μ}U^{ν}$ and where U can be determined from the Bianchi identities. Consequently, the cosmological constant is space-time dependent, a Lorentz invariant scalar, and may be positive, negative or null. The resulting energy momentum tensor of the dark energy depends on the cosmological constant and its first derivative with respect to the metric. As an application, we obtain the spherical solution for the field equations. In cosmology, the modified Friedmann equations are proposed and a condition on $Λ$ for an accelerating universe is deduced. For a particular case of the vector $U$, we find a decaying cosmological constant $Λ\propto a(t)^{-6α}$.

Burden of chronic comorbidities among people living with and without HIV in British Columbia, Canada : an epidemiological assessment of aging with HIV
Creators: name: Nanditha, Ni Gusti Ayu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Background: The complex process of aging with HIV presents unique challenges, manifested, among others, as an increased risk of chronic comorbidities and, in turn, poor health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH). Utilizing large-scale administrative health data, this dissertation aimed to comprehensively examine, at the population-level, the burden of nine common chronic comorbidities as an indicator of aging among PLWH compared to age-sex-matched HIV-negative controls in British Columbia, Canada. This dissertation sought to develop a methodology to improve the reliability of prevalence and incidence estimates produced from administrative data research. Methods: Longitudinal individual-level data were obtained from linked provincial datasets established for Comparative Outcomes And Service Utilization Trends Study, a population-based cohort. We first assessed the critical but understudied impact of lookback windows (LWs), a retrospective period to ascertain diagnoses within administrative data, on prevalence and incidence of chronic comorbidities. Among PLWH and HIV-negative controls, we then examined various measures of disease burden during 2001-2012: annual prevalence trends and age at diagnosis of different comorbidities, multimorbidity and associated mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a measure of disease burden considering both mortality and morbidity. Results: The impact of LWs was comorbidity- and population-specific, with shorter LWs resulting in higher misclassification of prevalent and incidence cases. Compared to HIV-negative controls, for most comorbidities, PLWH experienced elevated prevalence, up to 10 times higher for liver diseases, and earlier age at diagnosis, up to 12.5 years earlier for non-HIV-related dementia. Prevalence of multimorbidity was double among PLWH, with those from rural regions experiencing higher excess associated mortality. Driven by premature mortality due to non-AIDS-defining cancers, PLWH also experienced twofold higher DALYs associated with chronic comorbidities. Conclusions: This dissertation contributes population-level evidence on the disproportionate burden of chronic comorbidities experienced by PLWH as they age. As aging shapes healthcare needs, our findings support optimized screening for comorbidities at earlier ages among PLWH and an HIV care model that integrates prevention and treatment of chronic comorbidities. Additionally, data-driven approaches proposed in this dissertation, which inform LW choices and address concerns on the growing use of administrative data for research, are reproducible to other settings.

description: We show that the adjunction counits of a Fourier-Mukai transform $Φ$ from $D(X_1)$ to $D(X_2)$ arise from maps of the kernels of the corresponding Fourier-Mukai transforms. In a very general setting of proper separable schemes of finite type over a field we write down these maps of kernels explicitly -- facilitating the computation of the twist (the cone of an adjunction counit) of $Φ$. We also give another description of these maps, better suited to computing cones if the kernel of $Φ$ is a pushforward from a closed subscheme $Z$ of $X_1 \times X_2$. Moreover, we show that we can replace the condition of properness of the ambient spaces $X_1$ and $X_2$ by that of $Z$ being proper over them and still have this description apply as is. This can be used, for instance, to compute spherical twists on non-proper varieties directly and in full generality.

description: Using computer simulations we investigate the homogeneous crystal nucleation in suspensions of colloidal hard dumbbells. The free energy barriers are determined by Monte Carlo simulations using the umbrella sampling technique. We calculate the nucleation rates for the plastic crystal and the aperiodic crystal phase using the kinetic prefactor as determined from event driven molecular dynamics simulations. We find good agreement with the nucleation rates determined from spontaneous nucleation events observed in event driven molecular dynamics simulations within error bars of one order of magnitude. We study the effect of aspect ratio of the dumbbells on the nucleation of plastic and aperiodic crystal phases and we also determine the structure of the critical nuclei. Moreover, we find that the nucleation of the aligned CP1 crystal phase is strongly suppressed by a high free energy barrier at low supersaturations and slow dynamics at high supersaturations.

description: For the experimental search of neutralino dark matter, it is important to know its allowed mass and scattering cross section with the nucleon. In order to figure out how light a neutralino dark matter can be predicted in low energy supersymmetry, we scan over the parameter space of the NMSSM (next-to-minimal supersymmetric model), assuming all the relevant soft mass parameters to be below TeV scale. We find that in the parameter space allowed by current experiments the neutralino dark matter can be as light as a few GeV and its scattering rate off the nucleon can reach the sensitivity of XENON100 and CoGeNT. As a result, a sizable parameter space is excluded by the current XENON100 and CoGeNT data (the plausible CoGeNT dark matter signal can also be explained). The future 6000 kg-days exposure of XENON100 will further explore (but cannot completely cover) the remained parameter space. Moreover, we find that in such a light dark matter scenario a light CP-even or CP-odd Higgs boson must be present to satisfy the measured dark matter relic density. Consequently, the SM-like Higgs boson $h_{SM}$ may decay predominantly into a pair of light Higgs bosons or a pair of neutralinos so that the conventional decays like $h_{SM} -> γγ$ is much suppressed.

description: Chicken is an important food animal worldwide, which plays an indispensable role in human life by providing meat and eggs. Despite recent significant advances in gut microbiome studies, a comprehensive study on chicken gut bacterial, archaeal, and virus genomes is still unavailable. Here, we constructed a chicken multi‑kingdom microbiome catalog (CMKMC) including 18,201 bacterial, 225 archaeal, and 33,411 viral genomes and annotated over 6,076,006 protein‑coding genes. We found that 812 and 240 MAGs in our dataset were putative novel species and genera, respectively, far beyond what was previously reported. The newly unclassified MAGs were predominant in Phyla Firmicutes_A (n=263), followed by Firmicutes (n=126), Bacteroidota (n=121), and Proteobacteria (n=87). Most of the classified Species-level viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) belong to Caudovirales. 63.24% of the chicken gut virome is predicted to infect two or more hosts, including complete circular viruses. Moreover, we found diverse auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were carried by viruses. Together, our CMKMC provides the largest integrated MAGs and viral genomes from the chicken gut to date, functional insights into the chicken gastrointestinal tract microbiota, and paved the way to microbial interventions for better chicken health and productivity.
Les interférences du créole mauricien dans le français mauricien écrit

description: Cette étude porte sur le français mauricien écrit et les interférences linguistiques du créole mauricien. À l’île Maurice, le français est la langue des médias et des contextes formels alors que le créole est la langue utilisée au quotidien par la majorité des Mauriciens. Le français de France y est considéré comme étant le standard. Toutefois, le contact entre le créole mauricien et le français standard depuis le XVIIIe siècle a mené au développement d’une variété de français unique à l’île Maurice, le français mauricien. Cette variété de français est surtout utilisée à l’oral mais l’est aussi à l’écrit, tout particulièrement dans les réseaux sociaux. Peu de travaux existent sur le français mauricien. L’objectif de ce travail de recherche est d’analyser l’interférence linguistique dans le français mauricien et de déterminer si elle résulte du contact avec le créole mauricien. Pour ce faire, nous avons identifié dix innovations linguistiques (c’est-à-dire des items lexicaux qui ne sont pas communs en français standard) qui apparaissent dans des commentaires écrits en français par des internautes mauriciens sur les pages Facebook de trois journaux mauriciens. Pour analyser nos données, nous nous sommes inspirés de la méthode de Mougeon, Nadasdi et Rehner (2005), qui vise à déterminer si les innovations linguistiques observées dans une langue sont le résultat d’interférence liée au contact linguistique. Notre analyse nous permet d’avancer que les items lexicaux sélectionnées sont pour la plupart des interférences du créole mauricien et qu’ils sont issus d’un contact des langues.

description: The XENON100 experiment has recently completed a dark matter run with 100.9 live-days of data, taken from January to June 2010. Events in a 48kg fiducial volume in the energy range between 8.4 and 44.6 keVnr have been analyzed. A total of three events have been found in the predefined signal region, compatible with the background prediction of (1.8 \pm 0.6) events. Based on this analysis we present limits on the WIMP-nucleon cross section for inelastic dark matter. With the present data we are able to rule out the explanation for the observed DAMA/LIBRA modulation as being due to inelastic dark matter scattering off iodine at a 90% confidence level.

description: The complete expression for the intensity in pseudo-scalar meson photoproduction with a polarized beam, target, and recoil baryon is derived using a density matrix approach that offers great economy of notation. A Cartesian basis with spins for all particles quantized along a single direction, the longitudinal beam direction, is used for consistency and clarity in interpretation. A single spin-quantization axis for all particles enables the amplitudes to be written in a manifestly covariant fashion with simple relations to those of the well-known CGLN formalism. Possible sign discrepancies between theoretical amplitude-level expressions and experimentally measurable intensity profiles are dealt with carefully. Our motivation is to provide a coherent framework for coupled-channel partial-wave analysis of several meson photoproduction reactions, incorporating recently published and forthcoming polarization data from Jefferson Lab.

Path representation of su(2)_k states I: Operators and particles for k=1,2

description: This is the first of two articles devoted to the analysis of the path description of the states in su(2)_k WZW models, a representation well suited for constructive derivations of the fermionic characters. In this first article, the cases k=1,2 are treated in detail, emphasizing a different description in each case (operators vs particles). For k=1, we first prove, as a side result, the equivalence of two known path representations for the finitized su(2)_1 states by displaying an explicit bijection. An immediate offshoot is the gain of a new and simple weighting for the (Kyoto) path representation that generalizes to level k. The bijection also suggests two operator constructions for the su(2)_1 paths, a local and a nonlocal one, both interrelated. These are formal operators that map a path to another path, so that any path can be obtained by successive applications of these operators on a simple reference (ground-state) path. The nonlocal operator description is the starting point for a direct and elementary derivation of the su(2)_1 spinon character. The second part presents an extensive study of the su(2)_2 paths from their particle point of view, where the particles are defined as the path building blocks. The resulting generating functions appear to provide new (at least superficially) fermionic forms of the characters. In particular, a nice relationship between the sum of the j=0,1 characters at k=2 and the two ones at k=1 is unravelled.

description: We investigated the faecal carriage prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase production in Escherichia coli (EP-EC) and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae (EP-KP) and risk factors associated with carriage among adult study subjects in Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Russia and Sweden (partner countries). The aim was to get indicative data on the prevalence of ESBL-carriage in specific populations in the region. Faecal samples were collected from four study populations and screened on ChromID-ESBL and ChromID-OXA-48 plates. Positive isolates were further characterised phenotypically. Our results show a large variation in carrier prevalence ranging from 1.6% in Latvia to 23.2% in Russia for EP-EC. For the other partner countries, the prevalence of EP-EC were in increasing numbers, 2.3% for Germany, 4.7% for Finland, 6.6% for Sweden, 8.0% for Poland and 8.1% for all partner countries in total. Carriers of EP-KP were identified only in Finland, Russia and Sweden, and the prevalence was

Asymmetric Dark Matter and Effective Operators

description: In order to annihilate in the early Universe to levels well below the measured dark matter density, asymmetric dark matter must possess large couplings to the Standard Model. In this paper, we consider effective operators which allow asymmetric dark matter to annihilate into quarks. In addition to a bound from requiring sufficient annihilation, the energy scale of such operators can be constrained by limits from direct detection and monojet searches at colliders. We show that the allowed parameter space for these operators is highly constrained, leading to non-trivial requirements that any model of asymmetric dark matter must satisfy.

The outcomes of lateral ridge augmentation
Creators: name: Mossadegh, Amir Hossein
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Objectives: Lateral Ridge Augmentation (LRA) is a surgical technique to gain bone prior to implant placement. At the UBC graduate dental periodontics clinic specialty residents are trained in the LRA technique. Prior and after the surgery each patient receives cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans allowing quantitatively measures the buccal-lingual width as well as the vertical height of the edentulous ridges. The present study evaluated the outcomes of the surgeries performed by residents during their training. Methods: A 10-year retrospective review was done. A total of 30 cases with quality CBCT images were available for the study. All before and after the surgery bone measurements were taken from the CBCT images and subsequently analyzed by the Microview ABA 2.2 software. Study data included a total of 5 linear measurements (2D) which were obtained from the middle of the edentulous ridge and a volumetric (3D) measure. Results: The intra-examiner agreement (duplicate recordings of 5 randomly selected patients) was excellent as indicated by Intra-Class Coefficient values of 0.974 or higher. There was a significant mean increase from before to after the surgery in linear (2D) and volumetric (3D) values. The linear bone gain ranged from 1.5 mm to 2.5mm and volumetric from 250 mm³ to 750 mm³. However, two patients did not gain any bone. Multivariate regression showed that pre-surgery bone volume and the mandible surgeries were strongest predictors of bone gain post-surgery. In maxillary, particularly anterior areas, the LRA surgeries were the least successful. Conclusions: Lateral ridge augmentation before implant placement performed by periodontics specialty residents at the UBC graduate clinic for the majority of patients helped to increase bone. The CBCT image quantitative analyses showed a high level of intra-examiner agreement. Due to small sample size, the study findings need to be validated in future studies with larger sample sizes.
