description: Abstract: Over 45 jurisdictions globally have implemented sweetened beverage taxes. Researchers and policymakers need to assess whether and how these taxes change beverage demand and supply, their intended and unanticipated health, economic and equity impacts. Lessons from such evaluations can maximise the policies’ success and impact on non-communicable disease prevention globally. We discuss key theoretical, design and methodological considerations to help policymakers, funders and researchers commission and conduct rigorous evaluations of these policies and related disease prevention efforts. We encourage involving the perspectives of various stakeholders on what evaluations are needed given the specific context, what data and methods are appropriate, readily available or can be collected within time and budget constraints. A logic model /conceptual system map of anticipated implications across sectors and scales should help identify optimal study design, analytical techniques and measures. These models should be updated when synthesising findings across diverse methods and integrating findings across subpopulations using similar methods.

description: Abstract: In animal cells, shape is mostly determined by the actomyosin cortex, a thin cytoskeletal network underlying the plasma membrane. Myosin motors generate tension in the cortex, and tension gradients result in cellular deformations. As such, many cell morphogenesis studies have focused on the mechanisms controlling myosin activity and recruitment to the cortex. Here, we demonstrate using super-resolution microscopy that myosin does not always overlap with actin at the cortex, but remains restricted towards the cytoplasm in cells with low cortex tension. We propose that this restricted penetration results from steric hindrance, as myosin minifilaments are considerably larger than the cortical actin meshsize. We identify myosin activity and actin network architecture as key regulators of myosin penetration into the cortex, and show that increasing myosin penetration increases cortical tension. Our study reveals that the spatial coordination of myosin and actin at the cortex regulates cell surface mechanics, and unveils an important mechanism whereby myosin size controls its action by limiting minifilament penetration into the cortical actin network. More generally, our findings suggest that protein size could regulate function in dense cytoskeletal structures.

description: We propose a new class of materials, which can be viewed as graphene derivatives involving Group IA or Group VIIA elements, forming what we refer to as graphXene. We show that in several cases large band gaps can be found to open up, whereas in other cases a semimetallic behavior is found. Formation energies indicate that under ambient conditions, sp$^3$ and mixed sp$^2$/sp$^3$ systems will form. The results presented allow us to propose that by careful tuning of the relative concentration of the adsorbed atoms, it should be possible to tune the band gap of graphXene to take any value between 0 and 6.4 eV.

Towns change and change our demands in terms of good quality and aesthetics: the town is not only good because it is able to spread sense of harmony, not only for the aesthetic quality of his buildings. Maybe really leaving from the consciousness of this incompleteness, it would be worth see the same idea “beautiful” again, observing with interest the mixture, the congestion, considering as beautiful not only what which is homogeneous, accomplished but above all what which is characterized by the contrast, by the indeterminateness.

description: Droplet microfluidic methods have opened up the possibility of studying a plethora of phenomena ranging from biological to physical or chemical processes at ultra low volumes and high throughput. A key component of such approaches is the ability to trap droplets for observation, and many device architectures for achieving this objective have been developed. A challenge with such approaches is, however, recovering the droplets following their confinement for applications involving further analysis. Here, we present a device capable of generating, confining and releasing microdroplets in a sequential manner. Through a combination of experimental and computational simulations, we shed light on the key features required for successful droplet storage and retrieval. Moreover, we explore the effect of the flow rate of the continuous phase on droplet release, determining that a critical rate is needed to ensure complete droplet deformation through constrictions holding the droplets in place prior to release. Finally, we find that once released, droplets can be retrieved and collected off chip. The ability to generate, store and sequentially release droplets renders such a device particularly promising for future applications where reactions may not only be monitored on-chip, but droplets can also be retrieved for further analysis, facilitating new exploratory avenues in the fields of analytical chemistry and biology.
Functional equations for one-loop master integrals for heavy-quark production and Bhabha scattering

description: The method for obtaining functional equations, recently proposed by one of the authors, is applied to one-loop box integrals needed in calculations of radiative corrections to heavy-quark production and Bhabha scattering. We present relationships between these integrals with different arguments and box integrals with all propagators being massless. It turns out that functional equations are rather useful for finding imaginary parts and performing analytic continuations of Feynman integrals. For the box master integral needed in Bhabha scattering, a new representation in terms of hypergeometric functions admitting one-fold integral representation is derived. The hypergeometric representation of a master integral for heavy-quark production follows from the functional equation.

description: We consider the excitonic effects on the thermal properties in the AB-stacked bilayer graphene. The calculations are based on the bilayer generalization of the usual Hubbard model at the half-filling. The full interaction bandwidth is used without any low-energy assumption. We obtain the unusually high values for the electronic figure of merit even at the room-temperatures which is very promising for the thermoelectric applications of the AB-bilayer structure. We discuss the effects of the interlayer Coulomb interaction and temperature on different thermal parameters in the bilayer graphene and we emphasize the role of the charge neutrality point in the thermal properties and within the excitonic insulator transition scenario. The calculated values of the rate of thermoelectric conversion efficiency suggest the possibility of high-performance device applications of AB-bilayer graphene.

description: The properties of light leptoquarks predicted in the context of a simple grand unified theory and their observability at the LHC are investigated. The SU(5) symmetry of the theory implies that the leptoquark couplings to matter are related to the neutrino mass matrix. We study the resulting connection between neutrino masses and mixing parameters and the leptoquark decays, and show that different light neutrino hierarchies imply distinctive leptoquark decay signatures. We also discuss low-energy constraints implied by searches for charged lepton flavour violation, studies of meson decays, and electroweak precision data. We perform a detailed parton-level study of the leptoquark signals and the Standard Model backgrounds at the LHC. With the clean final states containing a di-lepton plus two jets, the QCD production of the leptoquark pair can be observed for a leptoquark mass of one TeV and beyond. By examining the lepton flavor structure of the observed events, one could further test the model predictions related to the neutrino mass spectrum. In particular, b-flavor tagging will be useful in distinguishing the neutrino mass pattern and possibly probing an unknown Majorana phase in the Inverted Hierarchy or the Quasi-Degenerate scenario. Electroweak associated production of the leptoquark doublet can also be useful in identifying the quantum numbers of the leptoquarks and distinguishing between the neutrino mass spectra, even though the corresponding event rates are smaller than for QCD production. We find that with only the clean channel of mu+ E_T jets, one could expect an observable signal for a leptoquark masses of about 600 GeV or higher.

description: We introduce and define the concept of a stochastic pooling network (SPN), as a model for sensor systems where redundancy and two forms of 'noise' -- lossy compression and randomness -- interact in surprising ways. Our approach to analyzing SPNs is information theoretic. We define an SPN as a network with multiple nodes that each produce noisy and compressed measurements of the same information. An SPN must combine all these measurements into a single further compressed network output, in a way dictated solely by naturally occurring physical properties -- i.e. pooling -- and yet causes no (or negligible) reduction in mutual information. This means SPNs exhibit redundancy reduction as an emergent property of pooling. The SPN concept is applicable to examples in biological neural coding, nano-electronics, distributed sensor networks, digital beamforming arrays, image processing, multiaccess communication networks and social networks. In most cases the randomness is assumed to be unavoidably present rather than deliberately introduced. We illustrate the central properties of SPNs for several case studies, where pooling occurs by summation, including nodes that are noisy scalar quantizers, and nodes with conditionally Poisson statistics. Other emergent properties of SPNs and some unsolved problems are also briefly discussed.

description: Metamaterials have paved the way to unprecedented control of the electromagnetic field1,2. The conjunction with space coordinate transformation has led to a novel "relativity inspired" approach for the control of light propagation. "Invisibility cloak" is the most fascinating proposed devices3,4. However, the realized structures up to now used a graded "metamagnetic" so as to achieve the cloaking function11. Artificial magnetism is however still very challenging to obtain in optics despite the currently promising building blocks13-17, not suited for optical cloaking. We report here the first experimental demonstration of non-magnetic cloak at microwave frequencies by direct mapping of the magnetic field together with the first experimental characterization of a cloak in free space configuration. The diameter of the concealed region is as big as 4.4 in wavelength units, the biggest reported experimentally so far. The principle can be scaled down to optical domain while keeping the compatibility with current nanofabrication technologies.

Structural awareness : three films
Creators: name: Braidwood, Thomas Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The films discussed in the following pages are concerned with the theory and aesthetics of film-making. They serve as visual analytical essays embodying my personal attitudes and my development in the field of film production. Throughout the years of study my major concern has been the problem of commercial formula versus experimentation of film sensibilities in regards to the audience/artist relationship. For myself, I have attempted to define those elements inherent in the structure of the celluloid image. I have been interested more in the medium than the message. The method of approach in this paper has been to take each film and to place it into three categories: PRE-IMAGE, the motivating force(s) behind each film; second, IMAGE, the actual structure of the film; and third: POST-IMAGE, my reaction to the completed product in relation to the original concept. This approach was chosen in the hope of giving insight into the personal motivations, attitudes and changes that occur within an artist and his developing work. Film revolves around a large body of argumentative aesthetics. I have tried only to clarify my own aesthetics. I would say that my work has moved from alienation concepts to personal involvement concepts. When I speak of alienation I refer not only to the audience, but also of alienation from myself, that is, self-criticism during actual production What I have discovered (for myself) is that it is the actual process of film-making which is most fulfilling and that the final product only serves to develop new problems for an artist. What becomes important is that the audience must realise the final film is not all inclusive in definition. A finished film serves as a record not only to the audience but also to its creator as to the changing social attitudes of all concerned. Because of time involved in actual production, it is impossible to presuppose the sensibilities of an audience. Film does not always reflect a viewer's tastes. At best it tries to gauge and edify those tastes. Usually, commercial cinema tries merely to condition tastes. This type of attitude presumes far too much and is false. Film should serve the public, not vice-versa. Although visually, the films discussed herein are quite different, they do share common thematics. The most common of these is that of conceptual structure, the defining of structure and the relation of medium to the audience. This relationship is one of individuality not mass. Participation is a mutual arrangement and therefore an understanding of equality and mutual respect is absolutely necessary in order that we can learn from the experience. Art, and in this case film, is fundamentally an experience, and experience develops awareness. If an experience is to be enlightening it must be honest in scope and defined within the terms of the artist and within the terms of the audience. It is to this end that I have continued making films, in the hope of teaching myself both the awareness of experience and the experience of awareness.

description: Galactic nuclei host central massive objects either in the form of supermassive black holes or nuclear stellar clusters. Recent investigations have shown that both components co-exist in at least a few galaxies. In this paper we explore the possibility of a connection between nuclear star clusters and black holes that establishes at the moment of their formation. We here model the evolution of high redshift discs, hosted in dark matter halos with virial temperatures 10^4 K, whose gas has been polluted with metals just above the critical metallicity for fragmentation. A nuclear cluster forms as a result of a central starburst from gas inflowing from the unstable disc. The nuclear stellar cluster provides a suitable environment for the formation of a black hole seed, ensuing from runaway collisions among the most massive stars. Typical masses for the nuclear stellar clusters at the time of black hole formation (z~10) are inthe range 10^4-10^6 solar masses and have half mass radii < 0.5 pc. The black holes forming in these dense, high redshift clusters can have masses in the range ~300-2000 solar masses.

description: We present periodicity search analyses on the $γ$-ray lightcurve of the TeV blazar PKS 1510-089 observed by the \textit{Fermi} Large Area Telescope. We report the detection of two transient quasi-periodic oscillations: a 3.6-day QPO during the outburst in 2009 that lasted five cycles (MJD 54906--54923); and a periodicity of 92 days spanning over 650 days from 2018 to 2020 (MJD 58200--58850), which lasted for seven cycles. We employed the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, Weighted Wavelet Z-transform, REDFIT, and the Monte Carlo lightcurve simulation techniques to find any periodicity and the corresponding significance. The 3.6-day QPO was detected at a moderate significance of $\sim$3.5$σ$, while the detection significance of the 92-day QPO was $\sim$7.0$σ$. We explore a few physical models for such transient QPOs including a binary black hole system, precession of the jet, a non-axisymmetric instability rotating around the central black hole near the innermost stable circular orbit, the presence of quasi-equidistant magnetic islands inside the jet, and a geometric model involving a plasma blob moving helically inside a curved jet.

description: Since the first discovery of an extra-solar planet around a main-sequence star, in 1995, the number of detected exoplanets has increased enormously. Over the past two decades, observational instruments (both onboard and on ground-based facilities) have revealed an astonishing diversity in planetary physical features (i. e. mass and radius), and orbital parameters (e.g. period, semi-major axis, inclination). Exoplanetary atmospheres provide direct clues to understand the origin of these differences through their observable spectral imprints. In the near future, upcoming ground and space-based telescopes will shift the focus of exoplanetary science from an era of 'species discovery' to one of 'atmospheric characterization'. In this context, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large (Ariel) survey, will play a key role. As it is designed to observe and characterize a large and diverse sample of exoplanets, Ariel will provide constraints on a wide gamut of atmospheric properties allowing us to extract much more information than has been possible so far (e.g. insights into the planetary formation and evolution processes). The low resolution spectra obtained with Ariel will probe layers different from those observed by ground-based high resolution spectroscopy, therefore the synergy between these two techniques offers a unique opportunity to understanding the physics of planetary atmospheres. In this paper, we set the basis for building up a framework to effectively utilise, at near-infrared wavelengths, high-resolution datasets (analyzed via the cross-correlation technique) with spectral retrieval analyses based on Ariel low-resolution spectroscopy. We show preliminary results, using a benchmark object, namely HD 209458 b, addressing the possibility of providing improved constraints on the temperature structure and molecular/atomic abundances.

Second-order amplitudes in loop quantum gravity

description: We explore some second-order amplitudes in loop quantum gravity. In particular, we compute some second-order contributions to diagonal components of the graviton propagator in the large distance limit, using the old version of the Barrett-Crane vertex amplitude. We illustrate the geometry associated to these terms. We find some peculiar phenomena in the large distance behavior of these amplitudes, related with the geometry of the generalized triangulations dual to the Feynman graphs of the corresponding group field theory. In particular, we point out a possible further difficulty with the old Barrett-Crane vertex: it appears to lead to flatness instead of Ricci-flatness, at least in some situations. The observation raises the question whether this difficulty remains with the new version of the vertex.

description: Complex fluids exhibit structure on a wide range of length and time scales, and hierarchical approaches are necessary to investigate all facets of their often unusual properties. The study of idealized coarse-grained models at different levels of coarse-graining can provide insight into generic structures and basic dynamical processes at equilibrium and non-equilibrium. In the first part of this lecture, some popular coarse-grained models for membranes and membrane systems are reviewed. Special focus is given to bead-spring models with different solvent representations, and to random-interface models. Selected examples of simulations at the molecular and the mesoscopic level are presented, and it is shown how simulations of molecular coarse-grained models can bridge between different levels. The second part addresses simulation methods for complex fluids under shear. After a brief introduction into the phenomenology (in particular for liquid crystals), different non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) methods are introduced and compared to one another. Application examples include the behavior of liquid crystal interfaces and lamellar surfactant phases under shear. Finally, mesoscopic simulation approaches for liquid crystals under shear are briefly discussed.

description: Sustained contact interactions like scraping and rolling produce a wide variety of sounds. Previous studies have explored ways to synthesize these sounds efficiently and intuitively but could not fully mimic the rich structure of real instances of these sounds. We present a novel source-filter model for realistic synthesis of scraping and rolling sounds with physically and perceptually relevant controllable parameters constrained by principles of mechanics. Key features of our model include non-linearities to constrain the contact force, naturalistic normal force variation for different motions, and a method for morphing impulse responses within a material to achieve location-dependence. Perceptual experiments show that the presented model is able to synthesize realistic scraping and rolling sounds while conveying physical information similar to that in recorded sounds.

Effect of separated chemical carcinogen treatments in vitro
Creators: name: Warren, Peggy Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Previously, in vitro studies of chemical carcinogens have been focussed on determining the effects of single, high doses; however, cells in vivo are exposed to varying low doses of numerous chemicals at varying intervals. Consequently, this study was initiated to investigate the effects of separated, low doses of a chemical carcinogen in vitro. Monolayer cultures of human skin fibroblasts were exposed to 4-Nitroquinoline 1-Oxide (4NQ0) and were challenged at varying intervals (1 1/2, 2, 3, 5, 9 and 13 hours) with a second 4NQ0 treatment. To evaluate the effects, three end points were employed: DNA repair capacity, cell survival, and chromosome aberrations. Following exposure to an initial, single dose of 4NQ0, the time course of DNA repair synthesis (as measured by ³HTdR incorporation) was determined. The peak of repair synthesis was evident in the second and third hour after addition of the carcinogen. DNA repair synthesis was virtually complete at 12 hours post-treatment. When cells received a second 4NQ0 treatment within 3 hours of the first, the level of repair synthesis induced by this second dose was far below an expected value. With 9 hours incubation between treatments, repair synthesis after the second dose was at the expected level. Replacement of the first 4NQ0 treatment with a UV treatment produced analogous results. The clone forming capacity of cells exposed to split 4NQ0 treatments was investigated. A potentiation of effects was evident when the two treatments were spaced less than 2 hours apart. With a 9 hour interval between treatments the cloning capacity was again at the expected value. A direct proportionality between an increase in the frequency of chromosome aberrations and a reduction in the interval between treatments was observed. As the interval between treatments increased (up to 9 hours) the frequency of chromosome aberrations decreased.

Defects in Heavy-Fermion Materials: Unveiling Strong Correlations in Real Space

description: Complexity in materials often arises from competing interactions at the atomic length scale. One such example are the strongly correlated heavy-fermion materials where the competition between Kondo screening and antiferromagnetic ordering is believed to be the origin of their puzzling non-Fermi-liquid properties. Insight into such complex physical behavior in strongly correlated electron systems can be gained by impurity doping. Here, we develop a microscopic theoretical framework to demonstrate that defects implanted in heavy-fermion materials provide an opportunity for unveiling competing interactions and their correlations in real space. Defect-induced perturbations in the electronic and magnetic correlations possess characteristically different spatial patterns that can be visualized via their spectroscopic signatures in the local density of states or non-local spin susceptibility. These real space patterns provide insight into the complex electronic structure of heavy-fermion materials, the light or heavy character of the perturbed states, and the hybridization between them. The strongly correlated nature of these materials also manifests itself in highly non-linear quantum interference effects between defects that can drive the system through a first-order phase transition to a novel inhomogeneous ground state.
