description: A collection of stories about Navy wives, She Stories: Navy knaves in the Twentieth Century examines the impact that world events have on the lives of women married to men serving in the United States Navy. World War II serves as the backdrop for the story of Alice Wood, a young woman who was raised in China and met her husband while he was serving on a patrol boat off the coast of Asia. Peggy Allen, whose story is set in the early sixties, marries her high school sweetheart. During his first tour, he is killed in an aviation accident, and Peggy is left a widow with a young daughter. She eventually returns to her Navy community and marries another naval aviator. Peggy's story is interlaced with the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as the innocence of American society before the cultural revolution of the sixties.

The third story of this trilogy is in first person, and recounts the experience of a navy family which is evacuated from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during the Cuban Refugee Crisis in 1994. The inclusion of the this story portrays the changing role of the military towards the close of the century, as well as the impact of current events on the century, as well as the impact of current events on the family unit.

Although the stories focus primarily on the experience of the military family life, readers outside this community will identify with many of the scenes and situations in which the characters find themselves. The text addresses the increasingly transient nature of American society and suggests that although this may seem to defy all patterns of nature, it does not. Through the image of the banyan tree, this pattern of uprooting can be understood as one of unfettered growth.

description: The Anglo-Australian Planet Search has now accumulated 12 years of radial-velocity data with long-term instrumental precision better than 3 m/s. In this paper, we expand on earlier simulation work, to probe the frequency of near-circular, long-period gas-giant planets residing at orbital distances of 3-6 AU -- the so-called "Jupiter analogs." We present the first comprehensive analysis of the frequency of these objects based on radial-velocity data. We find that 3.3% of stars in our sample host Jupiter analogs; detailed, star-by-star simulations show that no more than 37% of stars host a giant planet between 3-6 AU.

description: We revisit the pairing symmetry competition in quasi-one-dimensional systems. We show that spin-triplet s-wave pairing, where the pair is formed by electrons with different times and has an odd-frequency symmetry, can be realized in systems with strong one-dimensionality when the strength of charge fluctuation dominates over spin fluctuation. The present study provides a novel microscopic mechanism for this exotic pairing originally proposed by Berezinskii in 1974.

The roles of fibrinolysis in regulating coagulation factor XIII
Creators: name: Hur, Woosuk Steve
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) is a protransglutaminase enzyme that is activated at the end of the coagulation cascade. Activated FXIII (FXIIIa) stabilizes the blood clot from premature lysis by covalently crosslinking fibrin molecules to itself and to other anti-fibrinolytic proteins. Although the role of FXIIIa as an antifibrinolytic protein has been well characterized, the role of fibrinolysis in regulating FXIII and FXIIIa has not been characterized. FXIIIa lies in close proximity to fibrin during the hemostatic processes; therefore, the effect of plasmin on FXIIIa activity was examined. This thesis shows that plasmin preferentially cleaves the active enzyme FXIIIa, but not the zymogen FXIII. The primary cleavage site identified by mass spectrometry was between K468-Q469. Inactivation of FXIIIa occurred during clot lysis, but not during clot formation. These results indicate FXIIIa activity can be modulated by fibrinolytic enzymes, and suggest that changes in fibrinolytic activity may influence cross-linking of blood proteins. Thrombosis patients who are treated with thrombolytic therapy receive high doses of fibrinolytic enzymes. Since FXIIIa is inactivated by plasmin, the stability of FXIII and FXIIIa during thrombolytic therapy was examined using purified proteins and blood collected from nine DVT patients undergoing CDT. During CDT, FXIII levels were decreased by more than 40% in 5 of 9 patients and FXIIIa levels were decreased by more than 85% in 2 patients when it was activated. FXIII and FXIIIa can decrease during CDT in some patients, warranting further research into the role of FXIIIa in bleeding from thrombolysis. Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide inhibits fibrinolysis and can form complexes with FXIIIa. Although Aβ can be crosslinked by tissue transglutaminase, the ability of FXIIIa to crosslink Aβ has not been demonstrated. The thesis shows that FXIIIa covalently crosslinked Aβ40 into dimers and oligomers, as well as to fibrin, and to blood clots under flow in vitro. Aβ40 also increased the stiffness of platelet-rich plasma clots in the presence of FXIIIa. These results suggest that crosslinking of Aβ40 by FXIIIa may contribute to the formation of vascular deposits in cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

description: In this paper we develop a theory of slice regular functions on a real alternative algebra $A$. Our approach is based on a well--known Fueter's construction. Two recent function theories can be included in our general theory: the one of slice regular functions of a quaternionic or octonionic variable and the theory of slice monogenic functions of a Clifford variable. Our approach permits to extend the range of these function theories and to obtain new results. In particular, we get a strong form of the fundamental theorem of algebra for an ample class of polynomials with coefficients in $A$ and we prove a Cauchy integral formula for slice functions of class $C^1$.

description: A simple method for the preparation of PdCo@Pd core-shell nanoparticles supported on carbon has been developed using an adsorbate-induced surface segregation effect. The stability and electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction of PdCo@Pd nanoparticles was enhanced by a small amount of Pt, deposited via a spontaneous displacement reaction. The facile method described herein is suitable for large-scale lower cost production and significantly lowers the Pt loading and thus cost. The as-prepared PdCo@Pd and Pd-decorated PdCo@Pd nanocatalysts have higher methanol-tolerance for the ORR when compared to Pt/C, and are promising cathode catalysts for fuel cell applications.

description: Due to the exponential growth of the Hilbert space dimension with system size, the simulation of quantum many-body systems has remained a persistent challenge until today. Here, we review a relatively new class of variational states for the simulation of such systems, namely neural quantum states (NQS), which overcome the exponential scaling by compressing the state in terms of the network parameters rather than storing all exponentially many coefficients needed for an exact parameterization of the state. We introduce the commonly used NQS architectures and their various applications for the simulation of ground and excited states, finite temperature and open system states as well as NQS approaches to simulate the dynamics of quantum states. Furthermore, we discuss NQS in the context of quantum state tomography.

The absolute position of a resonance peak

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is common practice in scattering theory to correlate between the position of a resonance peak in the cross section and the real part of a complex energy of a pole of the scattering amplitude. In this work we show that the resonance peak position appears at the absolute value of the pole's complex energy rather than its real part. We further demonstrate that a local theory of resonances can still be used even in cases previously thought impossible.
On the Nature of the Compact Object in SS~433. Observational Evidence of X-ray Photon Index Saturation
Creators: name: Seifina, Elena

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an analysis of the X-ray spectral properties observed from black hole candidate (BHC) binary SS~433. We have analyzed RXTE data from this source, coordinated with Green Bank Interferometer/RATAN-600. We show that SS~433 undergoes a X-ray spectral transition from the low hard state (LHS) to the intermediate state (IS). We show that the X-ray broad-band energy spectra during all spectral states are well fit by a sum of so called ``Bulk Motion Comptonization (BMC) component'' and by two (broad and narrow) Gaussians for the continuum and line emissions respectively. In addition to these spectral model components we also find a strong feature that we identify as a "blackbody-like (BB)" component which color temperature is in the range of 4-5 keV in 24 IS spectra during the radio outburst decay in SS~433. Our observational results on the "high temperature BB" bump leads us to suggest the presence of gravitationally redshifted annihilation line emission in this source. I\ We have also established the photon index saturation at about 2.3 in index vs mass accretion correlation. This index-mass accretion correlation allows us to evaluate the low limit of black hole (BH) mass of compact object in SS~433, M_{bh}> 2 solar masses, using the scaling method using BHC GX 339-4 as a reference source. Our estimate of the BH mass in SS 433 is consistent with recent BH mass measurement using the radial-velocity measurements of the binary system by Hillwig & Gies who find that M_{x}=(4.3+/-0.8 solar masses. This is the smallest BH mass found up to now among all BH sources. Moreover, the index saturation effect versus mass accretion rate revealed in SS~433, like in a number of other BH candidates, is the strong observational evidence for the presence of a BH in SS~433.

Slice Sampling with Adaptive Multivariate Steps: The Shrinking-Rank Method

Subjects: subject: Computation (stat.CO)

description: The shrinking rank method is a variation of slice sampling that is efficient at sampling from multivariate distributions with highly correlated parameters. It requires that the gradient of the log-density be computable. At each individual step, it approximates the current slice with a Gaussian occupying a shrinking-dimension subspace. The dimension of the approximation is shrunk orthogonally to the gradient at rejected proposals, since the gradients at points outside the current slice tend to point towards the slice. This causes the proposal distribution to converge rapidly to an estimate of the longest axis of the slice, resulting in states that are less correlated than those generated by related methods. After describing the method, we compare it to two other methods on several distributions and obtain favorable results.

description: This thesis, proposed as a Master’s Degree dissertation for the Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge Master’s Program (Academic Year 2021/2022), explores the growing intersection of virtual reality, 3D modeling, and Cultural Heritage. As virtual tourism, archiving, restoration, and educational initiatives increasingly rely on digitization, the practical process of creating accurate 3D replicas can often be complex and requires specialized knowledge.

This work emphasizes the necessity for user-friendly tools that empower non-expert museum staff to generate 3D replicas of artifacts using an image-based modeling approach. The research documents critical moments of reflection throughout the 3D photogrammetric survey process, encouraging operators to recognize the complexity factors inherent in the models and providing guidance on how to manage them effectively.

Additionally, the thesis presents a case study on Dynamic Collections, focusing on its pedagogical and research-oriented applications. The proposed methodology introduces a semi-automatic process for generating precise 3D models from photographs, offering potential for further implementation and improvement in cultural heritage digitization.

description: We study the frequency of the plasma oscillations of electron-positron pairs created by the vacuum polarization in an uniform electric field with strength E in the range 0.2 Ec < E < 10 Ec. Following the approach adopted in [1] we work out one second order ordinary differential equation for a variable related to the velocity from which we can recover the classical plasma oscillation equation when E -> 0. Thereby, we focus our attention on its evolution in time studying how this oscillation frequency approaches the plasma frequency. The time-scale needed to approach to the plasma frequency and the power spectrum of these oscillations are computed. The characteristic frequency of the power spectrum is determined uniquely from the initial value of the electric field strength. The effects of plasma degeneracy and pair annihilation are discussed.

Enhanced Static Approximation to the Electron Self-Energy Operator for Efficient Calculation of Quasiparticle Energies

description: An enhanced static approximation for the electron self energy operator is proposed for efficient calculation of quasiparticle energies. Analysis of the static COHSEX approximation originally proposed by Hedin shows that most of the error derives from the short wavelength contributions of the assumed adiabatic accumulation of the Coulomb-hole. A wavevector dependent correction factor can be incorporated as the basis for a new static approximation. This factor can be approximated by a single scaling function, determined from the homogeneous electron gas model. The local field effect in real materials is captured by a simple ansatz based on symmetry consideration. As inherited from the COHSEX approximation, the new approximation presents a Hermitian self-energy operator and the summation over empty states is eliminated from the evaluation of the self energy operator. Tests were conducted comparing the new approximation to GW calculations for diverse materials ranging from crystals and nanotubes. The accuracy for the minimum gap is about 10% or better. Like in the COHSEX approximation, the occupied bandwidth is overestimated.

description: Le but de ce travail de mémoire est de mettre en lumière, au travers d’entretiens, les facteurs qui ont conduit au décrochage scolaire quatre apprentis ainsi que les facteurs leur ayant permis de raccrocher et de poursuivre une formation diplômante. L’analyse des entretiens et la littérature mettent en évidence qu’il n’existe pas un seul parcours de décrochage mais qu’il existe autant de jeunes que de parcours de décrochage. Plusieurs facteurs peuvent néanmoins être déterminants. Ainsi, cette recherche révèle que les périodes de transitions scolaires (d’un cycle à un autre) sont marquantes dans les parcours de ces jeunes. De plus, le processus de décrochage des quatre jeunes adultes rencontrés semble avoir pris sa source dans les premières années d’école. Néanmoins, les difficultés scolaires ne semblent pas être le principal facteur explicatif du décrochage et les relations entre pairs et avec les enseignants apparaissent comme étant plus corrélées. Des dimensions communes à ces quatre parcours émergent : Le lien avec l’école des quatre jeunes rencontrés semble s’être peu à peu délité et la baisse de l’estime d’eux-mêmes ont finalement conduit à un arrêt plus ou moins prolongé dans leur parcours scolaire. Il leur aura fallu du temps, de l’ennui et une grande dose de volonté pour reprendre le chemin de la formation. Cette nouvelle formation professionnelle entreprise a été permise par le soutien de personne-clés. Le rôle des enseignants apparait donc comme central à la fois comme facteur pouvant accentuer le décrochage mais aussi comme facteur de protection pouvant permettre à des adolescents de reprendre pied et de croire en eux.
Functional aspects of the osmorespiratory compromise in fishes
Creators: name: Mussoi Giacomin, Marina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The fish gill is a multipurpose organ that plays a central role in gas exchange, ion regulation, acid-base balance and nitrogenous waste excretion. Effective gas transfer requires a large surface area and thin water-to-blood diffusion distance, but such structures also promote diffusive ion and water movements between blood and water that challenge the maintenance of hydromineral balance. Therefore, a functional conflict exists between gas exchange and ionic and osmotic regulation at the gill. The overarching goal of my thesis was to examine the trade-offs associated with the optimization of these different functions (i.e. the osmorespiratory compromise) in species with diverse osmoregulatory strategies, when exposed to environmental stressors such as hypoxia, changes in temperature and salinity. To address this I have used three species of fish that are phylogenetically, ecologically and physiologically diverse, the Atlantic killifish (teleost), the Pacific hagfish (myxine) and the Pacific spiny dogfish (elasmobranch). My results show that salinity influences the capacity to regulate oxygen consumption at low oxygen and hypoxia tolerance in the killifish. Acclimation to fresh water resulted in a lowering of the lamellar respiratory surface area and a higher percentage of the gill lamellae covered by an interlamellar cell mass. These responses could be adaptations to aid survival in hypo-osmotic waters as freshwater-acclimated fish showed a greater ability to downregulate transcellular gill permeability to both ions and water when exposed to hypoxia in comparison to their seawater-acclimated counterparts. However, at salinities ranging from fresh water to 100% sea water, plasma ion concentration and osmolality were unaffected by hypoxia. I also found that there is a strong interaction between gill permeability to gases and to ions and water in hagfish, an osmoconforming marine species in which the osmorespiratory compromise had never been investigated. An increase in gill permeability to urea, ammonia, and water was also seen in the dogfish exposed to elevated temperature, indicating a disruption in the nitrogen conservation mechanisms at the gill. In summary, this thesis has expanded the range of species in which the osmorespiratory compromise has been investigated, and has provided new insights into the mechanisms involved.

description: Nested structure, which is non-random, controls cooperation dynamics and biodiversity in plant-animal mutualistic networks. This structural pattern has been explained in a static (non-growth) network models. However, evolutionary processes might also influence the formation of such a structural pattern. We thereby propose an evolving network model for plant-animal interactions and show that non-random patterns such as nested structure and heterogeneous connectivity are both qualitatively and quantitatively predicted through simple evolutionary processes. This finding implies that network models can be simplified by considering evolutionary processes, and also that another explanation exists for the emergence of non-random patterns and might provide more comprehensible insights into the formation of plant-animal mutualistic networks from the evolutionary perspective.

description: This deliverable presents the first version of the PHEMTRONICS Data Management Plan (DMP). PHEMTRONICS participates in Open Research Data (ORD) Pilot, and, therefore, is providing, as requested, the current deliverable six months after the beginning of the project (M6, November 2020). The DMP is not a fixed document, but it is likely to evolve during the whole lifespan of the project, serving as a working document. This document will be updated as needed during the Project General Assemblies.
 The purpose of the DMP is to contribute to good data handling through indicating what research data the project expects to generate and describe which parts of the data that can be shared with the public. Furthermore, it gives instructions on naming conventions, metadata structure, storing of the research data and how to make public data available.
 During the 36 active months of the project, a SharePoint in the private area of the PHEMTRONICS website will be used as the online working and collaboration platform. SharePoint is only accessible to project partners and can provide further access control through establishing folders and sub-sites with stricter access granted than to the main site. During the project all public datasets will be uploaded to this site and stored in accordance with the privacy strategy of PHEMTRONICS.
 PHEMTRONICS will use the open research data repository Zenodo to comply with the Horizon 2020 Open Access Mandate. This mandate applies to the underlying research data of publications, but beneficiaries can also voluntarily make other datasets open. In PHEMTRONICS, all deliverables, publications and PUBLIC datasets will be uploaded to the European Commission Funded Research (OpenAIRE) Community in Zenodo. Uploads will be done upon approval of the deliverables by the European Commission, upon publication or acceptance of scientific publications, or, for underlying datasets, at the end of the project at the latest. Each dataset will be given a persistent identifier (Digital Object Identifier, DOI), supplied with relevant metadata and linked to the project name and grant agreement number.
 The DMP is a living document and will be updated during the project. The next version of the DMP will put a strong emphasis on the complete definition of procedures to be implemented by the project to efficiently manage its research data in terms of storage and backup (backup provision, recovery procedure), selection and preservation (which data will be retained/shared/ preserved, length of time data to be preserved and preservation preparation time). At the end of the project to reflect the actual research data generated during the project and include updated instructions for how to access open data. The maintenance is the responsibility of the Project Coordinator, supported by the Data Controllers.

description: An alpha-Wiener bridge is a one-parameter generalization of the usual Wiener bridge, where the parameter alpha>0 represents a mean reversion force to zero. We generalize the notion of alpha-Wiener bridges to continuous functions $α:[0,T)\to R$. We show that if the limit $\lim_{t\uparrow T}α(t)$ exists and is positive, then a general alpha-Wiener bridge is in fact a bridge in the sense that it converges to 0 at time T with probability one. Further, under the condition $\lim_{t\uparrow T}α(t)\ne 1$ we show that the law of the general alpha-Wiener bridge can not coincide with the law of any non time-homogeneous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type bridge. In case $\lim_{t\uparrow T}α(t)=1$ we determine all the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes from which one can derive the general alpha-Wiener bridge by conditioning the original Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process to be in zero at time T.

description: We present full atomistic calculations of the spin-flip time (T$_{1}$) of electrons and holes mediated by acoustic phonons in self-assembled In$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$As/GaAs quantum dots at zero magnetic field. At low magnetic field, the first-order process is suppressed, and the second-order process becomes dominant. We find that the spin-phonon-interaction induced spin relaxation time is 40 - 80 s for electrons, and 1 - 20 ms for holes at 4.2 K. The calculated hole-spin relaxation times are in good agreement with recent experiments, which suggests that the two-phonon process is the main relaxation mechanism for hole-spin relaxation in the self-assembled quantum dots at zero field. We further clarify the structural and alloy composition effects on the spin relaxation in the quantum dots.

description: The BY-COVID initiative aimed to speed up infectious disease research, surveillance, and outbreak investigation. It provided access to comprehensive, open, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data and metadata on SARS-CoV-2, as well as other viruses and infectious diseases. This encompassed data and metadata of the COVID-19 disease across various research fields, including omics, clinical, and epidemiological research, as well as socioeconomic and humanities. 

The BY-COVID project was truly interdisciplinary, and depended on a comprehensive understanding of the data provided by project partners. This required adopting common best practices and standards to ensure data mobilisation and FAIRness, and making the best use of project resources and tools. Training, capacity building, and outreach were crucial for establishing common ground among partners and mobilising data both during and after the project.

This deliverable summarises the training efforts carried out throughout the BY-COVID project. During the initial months of the project, we identified the training needs and gaps, as well as the priority target audiences. Subsequently, we developed a roadmap for training, capacity building, and outreach activities. Following this plan, we organised 20 workshops, courses, hackathons, and bridging events with the expertise of BY-COVID partners from the technical Work Packages (WP1-WP6). These events gathered over 2000 participants, twice as many as  initially expected. Throughout the project timeline, we also gathered information on project-specific training resources available in national centres, EOSC projects, RIs, and involved partners. Additionally, we made over 70 training materials openly available and FAIR, 40% more than initially anticipated. This deliverable outlines the efforts towards delivering training, capacity building, and outreach activities during BY-COVID, along with their results, impact, and outcomes.

description: The orientational dependence of charge carrier mobilities in organic semiconductor crystals and the correlation with the crystal structure are investigated by means of quantum chemical first principles calculations combined with a model using hopping rates from Marcus theory. A master equation approach is presented which is numerically more efficient than the Monte Carlo method frequently applied in this context. Furthermore, it is shown that the widely used approach to calculate the mobility via the diffusion constant along with rate equations is not appropriate in many important cases. The calculations are compared with experimental data, showing good qualitative agreement for pentacene and rubrene. In addition, charge transport properties of core-fluorinated perylene bisimides are investigated.

description: Living organisms produce metabolites of many types via their metabolisms. Especially, flavonoids, a kind of secondary metabolites, of plant species are interesting examples. Since plant species are believed to have specific flavonoids with respect to diverse environment, elucidation of design principles of metabolite distributions across plant species is important to understand metabolite diversity and plant evolution. In the previous work, we found heterogeneous connectivity in metabolite distributions, and proposed a simple model to explain a possible origin of heterogeneous connectivity. In this paper, we show further structural properties in the metabolite distribution among families inspired by analogy with plant-animal mutualistic networks: nested structure and modular structure. An earlier model represents that these structural properties in bipartite relationships are determined based on traits of elements and external factors. However, we find that the architecture of metabolite distributions is described by simple evolution processes without trait-based mechanisms by comparison between our model and the earlier model. Our model can better predict nested structure and modular structure in addition to heterogeneous connectivity both qualitatively and quantitatively. This finding implies an alternative possible origin of these structural properties, and suggests simpler formation mechanisms of metabolite distributions across plant species than expected.

description: Dans ce travail de mémoire, mené dans le cadre de la formation MAS Enseignement Secondaire 2 à la HEP Vaud, nous nous sommes penchés sur la question des « fake news » et avons cherché à dresser un bilan de la situation, tel que perçue et ressentie par les enseignants du secondaire 2, en répondant à la question suivante : les enseignants du secondaire 2 se sentent-ils suffisamment équipés pour enseigner leur(s) discipline(s) face aux problématiques actuelles des « fake news » ? Ce travail est le résultat de l’analyse d’un questionnaire distribué à un petit panel d’enseignant. L’échantillon est trop petit pour pouvoir servir de base statistique mais permet de révéler certaines tendances. Nous avons pu constater que le problème des « fake news » n’est pas négligeable au secondaire 2 et que les enseignants y sont confrontés. Si la plupart des enseignants du secondaire 2 semble assez bien comprendre ce qui se cache derrière le concept des « fake news », ils ne sont pas toujours à l’aise lorsqu’ils y sont confrontés. Il ressort de notre travail que ce qui semble agir le plus sur le sentiment d’auto-efficacité des enseignants n’est pas tellement la capacité personnelle mais plutôt la contrainte temps. Les « fake news » gardent encore clairement un statut « d’éducation à… » supplémentaire et représentent encore souvent une contrainte au niveau du temps investi, par rapport aux savoirs disciplinaires. Les enseignants reconnaissent le besoin de former les élèves, dans certaines branches en tout cas, mais ne s’accordent pas forcément sur le comment. Ils reconnaissent également l’importance de se former sur le sujet mais ne souhaitent pas y être contraint. Ce travail de par la taille du panel de réponse, ne représente qu’un début sur un sujet qui mériterait qu’on s’y attarde plus. Les résultats obtenus dans ce travail ne se veulent que comme des tendances et sont à prendre avec précaution. Il a toutefois le mérite de faire ressortir des points intéressants qui ouvrent sur de potentielles recherches futures afin d’approfondir la compréhension de la situation.
