description: Mutations of the ADAR1 gene encoding an RNA deaminase cause severe diseases associated with chronic activation of type I interferon (IFN) responses, including Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and bilateral striatal necrosis1-3. The IFN-inducible p150 isoform of ADAR1 contains a Zα domain that recognizes RNA with an alternative left-handed double-helix structure, termed Z-RNA4,5. Hemizygous ADAR1 mutations in the Zα domain cause type I IFN-mediated pathologies in humans2,3 and mice6-8; however, it remains unclear how the interaction of ADAR1 with Z-RNA prevents IFN activation. Here we show that Z-DNA-binding protein 1 (ZBP1), the only other protein in mammals known to harbour Zα domains9, promotes type I IFN activation and fatal pathology in mice with impaired ADAR1 function. ZBP1 deficiency or mutation of its Zα domains reduced the expression of IFN-stimulated genes and largely prevented early postnatal lethality in mice with hemizygous expression of ADAR1 with mutated Zα domain (Adar1mZα/- mice). Adar1mZα/- mice showed upregulation and impaired editing of endogenous retroelement-derived complementary RNA reads, which represent a likely source of Z-RNAs activating ZBP1. Notably, ZBP1 promoted IFN activation and severe pathology in Adar1mZα/- mice in a manner independent of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL-mediated necroptosis and caspase-8-dependent apoptosis, suggesting a novel mechanism of action. Thus, ADAR1 prevents endogenous Z-RNA-dependent activation of pathogenic type I IFN responses by ZBP1, suggesting that ZBP1 could contribute to type I interferonopathies caused by ADAR1 mutations.
A Distribution Dependent Analysis of Meta-Learning
Creators: Konobeev, Mikhail
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

A key problem in the theory of meta-learning is to understand how the task distributions influence transfer risk, the expected error of a meta-learner on a new task drawn from the unknown task distribution. In this work, focusing on fixed design linear regression with Gaussian noise and a Gaussian task (or parameter) distribution, we give distribution-dependent lower bounds on the transfer risk of any algorithm, while we also show that a novel, weighted version of the so-called biased regularized regression method is able to match these lower bounds up to a fixed constant factor. Notably, the weighting is derived from the covariance of the Gaussian task distribution. Altogether, our results provide a precise characterization of the difficulty of meta-learning in this Gaussian setting. While this problem setting may appear simple, we show that it is rich enough to unify the “parameter sharing” and “representation learning” streams of meta-learning; in particular, representation learning is obtained as the special case when the covariance matrix of the task distribution is unknown. For this case we propose to adopt the EM method, which is shown to enjoy efficient updates in our case. The work is completed by an empirical study of EM. In particular, our experimental results show that the EM algorithm can attain the lower bound as the number of tasks grows, while the algorithm is also successful in competing with its alternatives when used in a representation learning context.

description: The theory of generalized locally Toeplitz (GLT) sequences is a powerful apparatus for computing the asymptotic spectral distribution of square matrices $A_n$ arising from the discretization of differential problems. Indeed, as the mesh fineness parameter $n$ increases to $\infty$, the sequence $\{A_n\}_n$ often turns out to be a GLT sequence. In this paper, motivated by recent applications, we further enhance the GLT apparatus by developing a full theory of rectangular GLT sequences as an extension of the theory of classical square GLT sequences. We also detail an example of application as an illustration of the potential impact of the theory presented herein.

description: Individual nuclear spin states can have very long lifetimes and could be useful as qubits. Progress in this direction was achieved on MgO/Ag(001) via detection of the hyperfine interaction (HFI) of Fe, Ti and Cu adatoms using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Previously, we systematically quantified from first-principles the HFI for the whole series of 3d transition adatoms (Sc-Cu) deposited on various ultra-thin insulators, establishing the trends of the computed HFI with respect to the filling of the magnetic s- and d-orbitals of the adatoms and on the bonding with the substrate. Here we explore the case of dimers by investigating the correlation between the HFI and the magnetic state of free standing Fe dimers, single Fe adatoms and dimers deposited on a bilayer of MgO(001). We find that the magnitude of the HFI can be controlled by switching the magnetic state of the dimers. For short Fe- Fe distances, the antiferromagnetic state enhances the HFI with respect to that of the ferromagnetic state. By increasing the distance between the magnetic atoms, a transition towards the opposite behavior is observed. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability to substantially modify the HFI by atomic control of the location of the adatoms on the substrate. Our results establish the limits of applicability of the usual hyperfine hamiltonian and we propose an extension based on multiple scattering processes.

Playing Dad: An Analysis of Video Game Fathers and their Daughters as Playable Characters
Creators: Claflin, Kaitlyn
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

In this thesis I analyse the depiction of video game fathers and their daughters, who eventually become playable protagonists, in four popular, mainstream video game titles: The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite, Dishonored and The Walking Dead as well as the downloadable content add-ons Left Behind and Burial at Sea and their sequels Dishonored 2 and The Walking Dead: Season Two. I argue that the construction of fatherhood in games reflects a postfeminist media landscape that prioritizes fatherhood as a main, thematic narrative hook in response to feminist criticism of video games. I further argue that despite the inclusion of daughters as secondary playable protagonists in video games, this emphasis on fatherhood negatively impacts the daughters in order to prioritize the perspectives of their fathers.

description: Many activities related to cybercrime operations do not require much secrecy, such as developing websites or translating texts. This research provides indications that many users of a popular public internet marketing forum have connections to cybercrime. It does so by investigating the involvement in cybercrime of a population of users interested in internet marketing, both at a micro and macro scale. The research starts with a case study of three users confirmed to be involved in cybercrime and their use of the public forum where users share information about online advertising. It provides a first glimpse that some business with cybercrime connection is being conducted in the clear. The study then pans out to investigate the forum population's ties with cybercrime by finding crossover users, who are users from the public forum who also comment on cybercrime forums. The cybercrime forums on which they discuss are analyzed and crossover users' strength of participation is reported. Also, to assess if they represent a sub-group of the forum population, their posting behavior on the public forum is compared with that of non-crossover users. This blend of analyses shows that (i) a minimum of 7.2% of the public forum population are crossover users that have ties with cybercrime forums; (ii) their participation in cybercrime forums is limited; and (iii) their posting behavior is relatively indistinguishable from that of non-crossover users. This is the first study to formally quantify how users of an internet marketing public forum, a space for informal exchanges, have ties to cybercrime activities. We conclude that crossover users are a substantial part of the population in the public forum, and, even though they have thus far been overlooked, their aggregated effect in the ecosystem must be considered.

Two-particle Bose-Einstein correlations in pp collisions at ${\sqrt{s} = 13}$ TeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

description: This paper presents studies of Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, using data from the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data were collected in a special low-luminosity configuration with a minimum-bias trigger and a high-multiplicity track trigger, accumulating integrated luminosities of 151 $μ$b$^{-1}$ and 8.4 nb$^{-1}$ respectively. The BEC are measured for pairs of like-sign charged particles, each with $|η|$ < 2.5, for two kinematic ranges: the first with particle $p_T$ > 100 MeV and the second with particle $p_T$ > 500 MeV. The BEC parameters, characterizing the source radius and particle correlation strength, are investigated as functions of charged-particle multiplicity (up to 300) and average transverse momentum of the pair (up to 1.5 GeV). The double-differential dependence on charged-particle multiplicity and average transverse momentum of the pair is also studied. The BEC radius is found to be independent of the charged-particle multiplicity for high charged-particle multiplicity (above 100), confirming a previous observation at lower energy. This saturation occurs independent of the transverse momentum of the pair.

description: Listeria monocytogenes is a non sporogenic, facultative intracellular Gram positive bacterium that is foodborne and causes an illness known as listeriosis. Listeria monocytogenes serotypes 4b (1159B) and 4c (1159C) were subjected to some stress conditions viz- hydrogen ion concentration (pH), sodium chloride concentrations and varying temperatures in cabbage and lettuce juice. Growth and viability of Listeria monocytogenes serotypes 4b and 4c were recorded from raw and autoclaved cabbage and lettuce juice stored at 40 C for three weeks. The heat sterilized cabbage and lettuce juice containing (0-12%) sodium chloride favoured the growth of the experimental organisms. However, the organisms thrived better in lettuce than in the cabbage juice. It as observed that the rate of thermal inactivation of the organisms increased as the pH of the het treated juice decreased from pH8.0 - . at 560 C and pH 4.0, the population of the bacterial cells reduced to zero in 10 minutes. The addition of different concentrations (0.5 – 12.0%) of sodium chloride in tryptic soy agar also increased the recovery rate of the heatinjured/stressed Listeria monocytogenes. The pubic health implications of these are that acidic pH and low percentage of sodium chloride are not very effective for the decontamination of Listeria species in vegetables and meat products. This affects the issue of producing Listeria free foods. Therefore, adequate attention to the decontamination of vegetables with listericidal agents and the use of cabbage and lettuce juice as enrichment media for Listeria organisms are future alternatives

Generation solar-like differential rotation

description: We analyze the simulation result shown in Hotta & Kusano, 2021 in which the solar-like differential rotation is reproduced. The Sun is rotating differentially with the fast equator and the slow pole. It is widely thought that the thermal convection maintains the differential rotation, but recent high-resolution simulations tend to fail to reproduce the fast equator. This fact is an aspect of one of the biggest problems in solar physics called the convective conundrum. Hotta & Kusano, 2021 succeed in reproducing the solar-like differential rotation without using any manipulation with unprecedentedly high-resolution simulation. In this study, we analyze the simulation data to understand the maintenance mechanism of the fast equator. Our analyses lead to conclusions that are summarized as follows. 1. Superequipatition magnetic field is generated by the compression, which can indirectly convert the massive internal energy to magnetic energy. 2. The efficient small-scale energy transport suppresses large-scale convection energy. 3. Non-Taylor--Proudman differential rotation is maintained by the entropy gradient caused by the anisotropic latitudinal energy transport enhanced by the magnetic field. 4. The fast equator is maintained by the meridional flow mainly caused by the Maxwell stress. The Maxwell stress itself also has a role in the angular momentum transport for fast near-surface equator (we call it the Punching ball effect). The fast equator in the simulation is reproduced not due to the low Rossby number regime but due to the strong magnetic field. This study newly finds the role of the magnetic field in the maintenance of differential rotation.

As a consequence, we make progress towards a solution to a problem of Henk and Pollehn, which is equivalent to a Log-Minkowski inequality for a parallelotope and a centered convex body. Our probabilistic approach to the problem also gives rise to several inequalities and conjectures concerning the truncated mean of certain log-concave random variables.

description: In this study the link between renewable energies and employment in Senegal is analyzed. The Sustainable Livelihood Approach is used to understand the investigated situation in a holistic view. To successfully implement renewable energies in Senegal and to have a significant impact on the employment market, the governmental framework and the technical education has to improve, to match the needs of the labor market. Rural communities do not have all the assets to lift themselves out of poverty and disadvantages by the usage of renewable energy. Solar irrigation, off-grid systems and solar devices impact the level of education and the labor force in rural areas in Senegal. Moreover, access to a reliable energy source improves people’s livelihood in terms of health, education, income and employment. The resulting employment effect of adding 20 MW with the solar power plant Senergy 2 can be estimated with 28.686 created jobs (0,54 % of total employment). Upcoming power projects offer employment opportunities for graduates of the master study renewable energies. Furthermore, the demand of specialized engineers and technicians in the distribution and project planning sector will rise.
IMPACT OF REMOTE BANKING SERVICES ON THE OPERATION OF INTERBANK PAYMENT SYSTEMS
Creators: name: Nazarova Shohista Tolmas qizi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Banks are essential in supporting online businesses. Despite e-shoppers having the option of cash-on-delivery, which is seen as safe and reliable, there is still a demand for e-payment systems that only banks can provide. Banks serve as reliable intermediaries in online transactions and play a key role in facilitating online business ventures. Currently, banks offer e-payment services such as Internet banking, electronic fund transfers (NEFT/RTGS), credit and debit cards, and mobile banking. These services enable online transactions for activities like purchasing products, recharging mobile phones, booking hotels, and buying tickets, all while ensuring security measures are in place. For these e-services to function effectively, robust infrastructure is necessary.

This paper explores the effective use of mobile banking by bank customers who have the necessary infrastructure to access it. The findings revealed that while most customers surveyed owned a mobile phone, only a few used it for banking purposes. It was also found that although people were generally aware of mobile banking, its utilization was minimal. The most common use of mobile banking was for mobile top-ups among both urban and rural customers, with no significant difference between the two groups in terms of mobile banking usage.

description: Anomaly detection aims at identifying data points that show systematic deviations from the majority of data in an unlabeled dataset. A common assumption is that clean training data (free of anomalies) is available, which is often violated in practice. We propose a strategy for training an anomaly detector in the presence of unlabeled anomalies that is compatible with a broad class of models. The idea is to jointly infer binary labels to each datum (normal vs. anomalous) while updating the model parameters. Inspired by outlier exposure (Hendrycks et al., 2018) that considers synthetically created, labeled anomalies, we thereby use a combination of two losses that share parameters: one for the normal and one for the anomalous data. We then iteratively proceed with block coordinate updates on the parameters and the most likely (latent) labels. Our experiments with several backbone models on three image datasets, 30 tabular data sets, and a video anomaly detection benchmark showed consistent and significant improvements over the baselines.

description: The extended quantum Rabi models make a significant contribution to understand the quantum nature of the atom-light interaction. We transform two kinds of extended quantum Rabi model, anisotropic Rabi model and asymmetric Rabi model, into rotating frame, and regard them as periodically driven quantum systems. The analytical solutions of the quasi-energy spectrum as well as the Floquet modes for both models are constructed by applying the Floquet theory and the high-frequency expansion, which is applied to the non-stroboscopic dynamics of physical observables such as atomic inversion, transverse magnetization, atom-field correlation, etc. For anisotropic Rabi model, the quasi energy fits well with the numerical results even when the rotating-wave coupling is in the deep-strong coupling regime $g\simeq\hbarω$ if the counterrotating terms is small enough compared to the driving frequency. Avoided level crossing may occur for quasi energy with the same parity when the positive branch spectrum lines for the total excitation number $N$ cross the negative branch lines for $N+2$, while the high frequency expansion fails to predict this due to the conservation of the total excitation number. Furthermore, we present analytical and numerical study of the long-time evolution of population and figure out the analytical method is credible for the population dynamics. For asymmetric Rabi model, we find that the external bias field which breaks the parity symmetry of total excitation number tends to cluster the upper and lower branches into two bundles, and the detuning induced gap in the first temporal Brillouin zone shows a quadratic dependence on the bias. Both models prove that treating the Hamiltonian in the rotating frame by Floquet theory gives an alternative tool in the study of interaction between atom and light.

description: Excerpts from the report: The objective of market expansion is to increase aggregate sales in order to improve returns to those who produce and market agricultural products. While market expansion implies an increased quantity of food sold and consumed; it often takes the form of improved quality, as in substitution of livestock products for corn meal or cereals. The problem of market development has many dimensions. It pervades the entire marketing system and extends all the way back to the farmer. Market development begins with farmers producing the right products of the highest possible quality. The marketing system is expected to aid farmers in doing this by operating an efficient pricing mechanism and utilizing market research to guide production along desired lines. Moreover, the system is expected to move farm products from producer to consumer in an orderly manner at reasonable prices while maintaining quality. This involves a whole range of marketing activities, such as standardizing and grading, sanitation, processing, transportation, and marketing research. The coordination of all of these activities is an important part of the market development process. This discussion focuses mainly on those aspects of market development relating to sales promotion, and food assistance programs.

description: We study the implementation of a high fidelity controlled-phase gate in a Rydberg quantum computer. The protocol is based on a symmetric gate with respect to the two qubits as experimentally realized by Levine et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 170503 (2019)], but allows for arbitrary pulse shapes with time-dependent detuning. Optimizing the pulse shapes, we introduce laser pulses which shorten the time spent in the Rydberg state by 10% and reduce the leading contribution to the gate infidelity, i.e., the decay from the Rydberg state. Remarkably, this reduction can be achieved for smooth pulses in detuning and smooth turning on of the Rabi frequency as required in any experimental realization. We carefully analyze the influence of fundamental error sources such as the photon recoil, the microscopic interaction potential, as well as the harmonic trapping of the atoms for an experimentally realistic setup based on strontium-88 atoms. We find that an average gate fidelity above 99.9% is possible for a very conservative estimation of experimental parameters.

description: We construct an infinite class of new ultraviolet-complete four-graviton scattering amplitudes that reduce to Einstein gravity at low energies, vanish at high energies, are meromorphic, and exhibit a triple-product structure ${\cal A}(s){\cal A}(t){\cal A}(u)$. The spectrum invariantly exhibits accumulation points in the form of infinite towers of states on each mass pole, whose residue can be positively expanded on tree-level exchanges of irreducible representations of the Lorentz group.

description: Many aquatic microorganisms are able to swim. In natural environments they typically do so in the presence of flows. In recent years it has been shown that the interplay of swimming and flows can give rise to interesting and biologically relevant phenomena, such as accumulation of microorganisms in specific flow regions and local alignment with the flow properties. Here, we consider a mechanical model for elongated microswimmers in a Kolmogorov flow, a prototypic shear flow, both in steady and in turbulent conditions. By means of direct numerical simulations, supported by analytical calculation in a simplified stochastic setting, we find that the alignment of the swimming direction with the local velocity is a general phenomenon. We also explore how the accumulation of microorganisms, typically observed in steady flows, is modified by the presence of unsteady fluctuations.

description: The REZBUILD project grows with the main aim of defining a collaborative refurbishment ecosystem focused on the existing residential building stock. Nowadays, the Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) renovation methodologies are required as one of the key enablers supported by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme in order to promote business research and innovation through energy-efficient buildings. REZBUILD is addressing these challenges by widening the construction sector with the integration of innovation technologies in order to pave the way towards an annual renovation rate of 2,5% instead of the current rates lower than 1%. The technologies will be merged in a common decision making platform related to an innovative concept of refurbishment plan. The methodology interconnects on one hand, advanced refurbishment technologies and existing ones based on a decision tree strategy. On the other hand, it communicates all stakeholders involved in the housing renovation process from designers, refurbishment to private consumer and public / private owners. The main objective of the REZBUILD project is to develop one refurbishment ecosystem based on the integration of cost-effective technologies, business models and life cycle interaction to deep NZEB renovation to diverse residential renovation typologies and interconnecting both, building renovation stages and stakeholders This ecosystem will ensure the fulfilment of three KPIs: Energy Reduction Time saving Rapid payback Saint-Gobain Placo Iberica is one of the partners in the project, developing new systems based in gypsum with this KPIs to innovate in the renovation buildings and achieve the better improvements in Energy Efficiency and Comfort, with installation time saving and rapid payback.
Constraining the Nuclear Equation of State from Rotating Neutron Stars

description: We demonstrate how observables of slowly rotating neutron stars can be used to constrain the nuclear equation of state. By building a Bayesian framework we demonstrate how combining different types of neutron star measurements, motivated by the upcoming multi-messenger era, provide informative posterior distributions of commonly used equation of state parametrizations. Exemplarily, we chose the Read et al. four parameter model that is widely used to represent realistic equations of states in neutron star physics. Since future observational campaigns will not only provide mass, radius and rotation rate measurements, but also neutron star oscillation modes, a unified framework to analyze the joint knowledge becomes necessary. While several attempts exist in the literature, the here presented framework explicitly takes into account rotational effects by using state-of-the-art universal relations for their oscillation spectra. To demonstrate its performance we apply it to observables that take into account rotational effects to best possible precision and use our independent model for the reconstruction. Only a few high precision neutron star measurements are required to put tight constraints on the underlying equation of state.

description: Excerpts from the report: Agricultural transportation is a dynamic link between widely scattered producing regions and the Nation's dining tables. A head of lettuce growing in California one week may be in a salad in New York City the next week. Broilers in a Chicago supermarket are often raised in Georgia, feed for them coming from the Midwest. Some of the milk consumed in Gulf States is produced by dairy cows in Wisconsin. A generation ago, these particular movements of products hardly existed. Their development illustrates the important role that transportation has played in agricultural marketing. Transporting farm products and supplies is a big job. In 1964, cost of transporting farm food products for civilian consumption alone totaled $5.1 billion. This was nearly double the 1950 estimate of $2.7 billion and almost $1 billion above the 1957-59 average of $4.2 billion. Since 1950, this transportation bill has accounted for just over 10 percent of the total marketing bill for farm food products. Railroads and trucks handle most of the business, which includes the equivalent of a million railroad carloads of fresh fruits and vegetables and nearly another million carloads of meat, to cite only two examples. This estimate of $5.1 billion does not include, by any means, all the costs of transporting agricultural products and supplies. Charges paid for transporting feed and fiber add a considerable amount to the total transportation bill, as do the charges for transporting farm production supplies. Shipments of agricultural products moving into industrial uses and into export channels further add to it, as do the shipments of food imported for domestic use.

description: A recent study applied frequentist survival analysis methods to a subset of the Software Heritage Graph and determined which attributes of an OSS project contribute to its health. This paper serves as an exact replication of that study. In addition, Bayesian survival analysis methods were applied to the same dataset, and an additional project attribute was studied to serve as a conceptual replication. Both analyses focus on the effects of certain attributes on the survival of open-source software projects as measured by their revision activity. Methods such as the Kaplan-Meier estimator, Cox Proportional-Hazards model, and the visualization of posterior survival functions were used for each of the project attributes. The results show that projects which publish major releases, have repositories on multiple hosting services, possess a large team of developers, and make frequent revisions have a higher likelihood of survival in the long run. The findings were similar to the original study; however, a deeper look revealed quantitative inconsistencies.

description: We theoretically investigate the escape rate occurring via quantum tunneling in a system affected by tailored dissipation. Specifically, we study the environmental assisted quantum tunneling of the superconducting phase in a current-biased Josephson junction. We consider Ohmic resistors inducing dissipation both in the phase and in the charge of the quantum circuit. We find that the charge dissipation leads to an enhancement of the quantum escape rate. This effect appears already in the low Ohmic regime and also occurs in the presence of phase dissipation that favors localization. Inserting realistic circuit parameters, we address the question of its experimental observability and discuss suitable parameter spaces for the observation of the enhanced rate.

description: Discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) calculations are carried out to investigate the response of a single crystal contacted by a rigid sinusoidal asperity under sliding loading conditions to look for causes of microstructure change in the dislocation structure. The mechanistic driver is identified as the development of lattice rotations and stored energy in the subsurface, which can be quantitatively correlated to recent tribological experimental observations. Maps of surface slip initiation and substrate permanent deformation obtained from DDP calculations for varying contact size and normal load suggest ways of optimally tailoring the interface and microstructural material properties for various frictional loads.
Relating a rate-independent system and a gradient system for the case of one-homogeneous potentials

description: We consider a non-negative and one-homogeneous energy functional $mathcal J$ on a Hilbert space. The paper provides an exact relation between the solutions of the associated gradient-flow equations and the energetic solutions generated via the rate-inpendent system given in terms of the time-dependent functional $mathcal E(t,u)=t mathcal J(u)$ and the norm as a dissipation distance. The relation between the two flows is given via a solution-dependent reparametrization of time that can be guessed from the homogeneities of energy and dissipations in the two equations. We provide several examples including the total-variation flow and show that equivalence of the two systems through a solution dependent reparametrization of the time. Making the relation mathematically rigorous includes a careful analysis of the jumps in energetic solutions which correspond to constant-speed intervals for the solutins of the gradient-flow equation. As a major result we obtain a non-trivial existence and uniqueness result for the energetic rate-independent system.
