description: The heart belongs to the order of the organ, which participates in the movement of blood circulation and lymph in the body, manifests itself in an empty muscle organ. The heart of mammals: the base and upper part, the left and right surface, the front and the middle edge are separated into parts. The walls of the heart are formed from the endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium. The endocardium is the inner shell of the heart, which is made up of connective tissue and is covered with endothelium. The myocardium is the middle shell of the heart, formed from muscle fibers of various orders. The anterior division of the heart and ventricles are separated by myocardial fibrosis rings in a non-interfering manner. The epicardium was manifested by the outer serous shell of the heart.

description: Let EHM be Nori's category of effective homological mixed motives. In this paper, we consider the thick abelian subcategory EHM_1 generated by the i-th relative homology of pairs of varieties for i = 0,1. We show that EHM_1 is naturally equivalent to the abelian category M_1 of Deligne 1-motives with torsion; this is our main theorem. Along the way, we obtain several interesting results. Firstly, we realize M_1 as the universal abelian category obtained, using Nori's formalism, from the Betti representation of an explicit diagram of curves. Secondly, we obtain a conceptual proof of a theorem of Vologodsky on realizations of 1-motives. Thirdly, we verify a conjecture of Deligne on extensions of 1-motives in the category of mixed realizations for those extensions that are effective in Nori's sense.
Characterization of proteoglycan 4 and hyaluronan composition and function of ovine synovial fluid following knee surgery

description: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease involving the breakdown of articular cartilage, which is common after injury or with aging. Cartilage lubrication is a vital mechanism for the protection and maintenance of joints. Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), a glycoprotein present in synovial fluid (SF), contributes to the boundary lubrication of cartilage and maintenance of the joint. PRG4 also acts synergistically with hyaluronan (HA), another molecule present in SF, as cartilage boundary lubricants. The objective of this thesis was to determine 1) PRG4 and HA concentration, 2) HA molecular weight (MW) distribution, 3) cartilage lubricating ability, and 4) the isoelectric point (pI) of PRG4 in SF from surgical sham (SHAM), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)/medial collateral ligament (MCL) transection, and lateral meniscectomy (MEN) in a post-knee injury ovine model at 20 weeks. SHAM (n=5), ACL/MCL transection (n=6), and MEN (n=5) ovine SF (oSF) was collected at euthanization 20 weeks after surgery, with the left joint serving as the non-operative control (CTRL). PRG4 and HA concentration in oSF was measured by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and HA MW distribution by agarose gel electrophoresis. A cartilage-cartilage friction test under boundary lubrication conditions was used to assess the cartilage lubricating ability of oSF. The pI of PRG4 was determined by twodimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis. PRG4 and HA concentration in SHAM, ACL/MCL, and MEN oSF was similar in comparison to the contralateral CTRL oSF. The HA MW distribution in the SHAM, ACL/MCL, and MEN oSF for all ranges were similar with respect to the contralateral CTRL oSF. The kinetic coefficient of friction in phosphate buffered saline was significantly higher than all groups, both operated, CTRL oSF, and bovine SF in all cases, which was lower and similar. The pI of PRG4 is ~4.0-4.4 and the pI of PRG4 may have shifted to a higher pI in MEN oSF, in compared to contralateral CTRL oSF. These results suggest that lubricant composition and function was normal 20 weeks post-knee surgery in this model and 2D electrophoresis may provide insight into the structure of PRG4 glycosylations.

description: We study two different ways to enhance PAFAS, a process algebra for modelling asynchronous timed concurrent systems, with non-blocking reading actions. We first add reading in the form of a read-action prefix operator. This operator is very flexible, but its somewhat complex semantics requires two types of transition relations. We also present a read-set prefix operator with a simpler semantics, but with syntactic restrictions. We discuss the expressiveness of read prefixes; in particular, we compare them to read-arcs in Petri nets and justify the simple semantics of the second variant by showing that its processes can be translated into processes of the first with timed-bisimilar behaviour. It is still an open problem whether the first algebra is more expressive than the second; we give a number of laws that are interesting in their own right, and can help to find a backward translation.

description: A large component of pathology informatics is the usage and utility of digital images. The main objectives of this thesis involve many different applications related to digital imaging and anatomic pathology. An initial literature review identifies the delivery and applications of digital images and current imaging systems related to pathology including hematopathology, and whole slide imaging platforms. Telepathology as the future delivery model of pathology digital images is examined as well. Pathology staff across Canada currently utilizes gross digital images for regular documentation and educational reasons. They also indicate that the technology will be needed for future applications in teaching, consultation and medico-legal purposes. Currently, there is no resource available to match up typical gross features with the appropriate gross descriptive term. This is accomplished in this thesis and can be used as an educational tool for pathology professionals.

Automated Exploration of Reaction Network and Mechanism via Meta-dynamics Nanoreactor

Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: We developed an automated approach to construct the complex reaction network and explore the reaction mechanism for several reactant molecules. The nanoreactor type molecular dynamics was employed to generate possible chemical reactions, in which the meta-dynamics was taken to overcome reaction barriers and the semi-empirical GFN2-xTB method was used to reduce computational cost. The identification of reaction events from trajectories was conducted by using the hidden Markov model based on the evolution of the molecular connectivity. This provided the starting points for the further transition state searches at the more accurate electronic structure levels to obtain the reaction mechanism. Then the whole reaction network with multiply pathways was obtained. The feasibility and efficiency of this automated construction of the reaction network was examined by two examples. The first reaction under study was the HCHO + NH3 biomolecular reaction. The second example focused on the reaction network for a multi-species system composed of dozens of HCN and H2O compounds. The result indicated that the proposed approach was a valuable and effective tool for the automated exploration of reaction networks.

description: The 105 K second-order displacive phase transition of SrTiO3 has been studied with the help of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance. The photochromic non-cubic Fe5+ centre is used as local probe. Critical phenomena, characterized by an exponent β = 1/3, are presented. Line broadening effects are interpreted as stemming from time-dependent fluctuations near the phase transition point. The data are consistent with those reported earlier on the Fe3+-VO pair centre, indicating cooperative effects in the crystal. Also a model for the non-cubic Fe5+ is proposed, i.e., the ion is substitutional for Ti4+ with an empty adjacent expanded octahedron. Other Fe5+ centres in SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 are reviewed and reinterpreted.

description: We study the charges and first law of thermodynamics for accelerating, non-rotating black holes with dyonic charges in AdS$_4$ using the covariant phase space formalism. In order to apply the formalism to these solutions (which are asymptotically locally AdS and admit a non-smooth conformal boundary $\mathscr{I}$) we make two key improvements: 1) We relax the requirement to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions and demand merely a well-posed variational problem. 2) We keep careful track of the codimension-2 corner term induced by the holographic counterterms, a necessary requirement due to the presence of "cosmic strings" piercing $\mathscr{I}$. Using these improvements we are able to match the holographic Noether charges to the Wald Hamiltonians of the covariant phase space and derive the first law of black hole thermodynamics with the correct "thermodynamic length" terms arising from the strings. We investigate the relationship between the charges imposed by supersymmetry and show that our first law can be consistently applied to various classes of non-supersymmetric solutions for which the cross-sections of the horizon are spindles.

subject: Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor

description: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a highly malignant brain tumor that usually affects very young children and typically causes death, despite very aggressive treatment. The biological properties contributing to tumor aggressiveness and resistance to common chemotherapeutic agents are currently unknown. Previous studies have shown the activation of Insulin like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-1R) in ATRT tumor specimens and cell lines. Additionally, angiogenesis is an established physiological mechanism that supports the survival and progression of brain tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) signaling pathway is a major regulator of angiogenesis in brain tumors. We hypothesized that molecular interactions may exist between these two signaling pathways. Our findings show evidence for a novel IGF-1R/VEGFR-2 cross-talk in response to IGF-I mediated activation. Furthermore, we show evidence that the inhibition of IGF-1R/VEGFR-2 pathways by the small molecule inhibitors lead inhibition of cell migration properties and the initiation of apoptosis. Overall, the data generated in this set of studies present a framework to evaluate and utilize the receptor cross talk pathways to identify novel treatment approaches for ATRT in the future.

description: Recently, researchers focused on a new use of the Internet called Internet of Things (IoT), in which capable electronic devices can be remotely accessed over the Internet. All around the world, IoT applications are emerging exponentially with various functionalities in order to monitor and control the environment. For example, Wemo switch, Philips Hue light bulb, Ninja Blocks and Air Quality Egg are samples of the existing IoT applications which make environmental dynamics accessible via the Internet. Each application is developed based on the developer’s desire of the device. That means the number of proprietary protocols is growing as the number of IoT devices increases. Moreover, IoT devices are intuitively heterogeneous in terms of the hardware capabilities and communication protocols. Therefore, ensuring interoperability is an important step to integrate various devices together. In this research, we focus on the communication challenges of the IoT objects to make the network suitable for a wide scale of IoT devices. To do this, we implement open standards in different communication layers on a resource constraint IoT object. The standard protocols developed in this research are OGC PUCK over Bluetooth, TinySOS (a lightweight profile of the OGC SOS), SOS over CoAP, and OGC SensorThings API. To the best of our knowledge, these implementations are the world’s first contribution for the IoT objects. Eventually, we benchmark the efficiency of the implemented protocols by a comprehensive performance analysis in terms of memory occupation, request size, response length and response latency. As a result, by hosting the aforementioned open standard protocols on IoT devices, not only the devices become self-describable, self-contained, and interoperable, but also innovative applications can be simply developed by standardized interfaces.

description: Arctic vegetation has been undergoing various transitions depending on its regional characteristics and numerous contributors to these changes include direct human impact and natural changes in the earth’s climate system. The commonest causes of the vegetation change over a large arctic area are climatic. The Seward Peninsula in Alaska was reported diverse vegetation variations induced by possible climatic factors such as warming and drought conditions. Satellite observations have provided retrospective research on vegetation density patterns and changes over a long period in Arctic tundra environment. Landsat imagery has allowed documentation of spatial and temporal vegetation changes and investigation of the relationship to regional weather variations. Completed within this thesis are time-series NDVI maps of Council area in Seward Peninsula performed by both NDVI and change detection methods between 1999 and 2009. The study of vegetation change conducted here are important for monitoring the variations from the past to present and exploring the possible response to the annual weather changes.
Generic initial data for binary boson stars

description: Binary boson stars can be used to model the nonlinear dynamics and gravitational wave signals of merging ultracompact, but horizonless, objects. However, doing so requires initial data satisfying the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the Einstein equations, something that has not yet been addressed. In this work, we construct constraint-satisfying initial data for a variety of binary boson star configurations. We do this using the conformal thin-sandwich formulation of the constraint equations, together with a specific choice for the matter terms appropriate for scalar fields. The free data is chosen based upon a superposition of isolated boson star solutions, but with several modifications designed to suppress the spurious oscillations in the stars that such an approach can lead to. We show that the standard approach to reducing orbital eccentricity can be applied to construct quasi-circular binary boson star initial data, reducing the eccentricity of selected binaries to the $\sim 10^{-3}$ level. Using these methods, we construct initial data for quasi-circular binaries with different mass-ratios and spins, including a configuration where the spin is misaligned with the orbital angular momentum, and where the dimensionless spins of the boson stars exceeds the Kerr bound. We evolve these to produce the first such inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms for constraint-satisfying binary boson stars. Finally, we comment on how equilibrium equations for the scalar matter could be used to improve the construction of binary initial data, analogous to the approach used for quasi-equilibrium binary neutron stars.

description: An achievable rate region for certain noisy three-user-pair interference channels is proposed. The channel class under consideration generalizes the three-pair deterministic interference channel (3-DIC) in the same way as the Telatar-Tse noisy two-pair interference channel generalizes the El Gamal-Costa injective channel. Specifically, arbitrary noise is introduced that acts on the combined interference signal before it affects the desired signal. This class of channels includes the Gaussian case. The rate region includes the best-known inner bound on the 3-DIC capacity region, dominates treating interference as noise, and subsumes the Han-Kobayashi region for the two-pair case.

description: For quantum computing (QC) to emerge as a practically indispensable computational tool, there is a need for quantum protocols with an end-to-end practical applications -- in this instance, fluid dynamics. We debut here a high performance quantum simulator which we term QFlowS (Quantum Flow Simulator), designed for fluid flow simulations using QC. Solving nonlinear flows by QC generally proceeds by solving an equivalent infinite dimensional linear system as a result of linear embedding. Thus, we first choose to simulate two well known flows using QFlowS and demonstrate a previously unseen, full gate-level implementation of a hybrid and high precision Quantum Linear Systems Algorithms (QLSA) for simulating such flows at low Reynolds numbers. The utility of this simulator is demonstrated by extracting error estimates and power law scaling that relates $T_{0}$ (a parameter crucial to Hamiltonian simulations) to the condition number $κ$ of the simulation matrix, and allows the prediction of an optimal scaling parameter for accurate eigenvalue estimation. Further, we include two speedup preserving algorithms for (a) the functional form or sparse quantum state preparation, and (b) \textit{in-situ} quantum post-processing tool for computing nonlinear functions of the velocity field. We choose the viscous dissipation rate as an example, for which the end-to-end complexity is shown to be $\mathcal{O}(\textrm{polylog} (N/ε)κ/ε_{QPP})$, where $N$ is the size of the linear system of equations, $ε$ is the the solution error and $ε_{QPP}$ is the error in post processing. This work suggests a path towards quantum simulation of fluid flows, and highlights the special considerations needed at the gate level implementation of QC.

description: Distributed optimization has a rich history. It has demonstrated its effectiveness in many machine learning applications, etc. In this paper we study a subclass of distributed optimization, namely decentralized optimization in a non-smooth setting. Decentralized means that $m$ agents (machines) working in parallel on one problem communicate only with the neighbors agents (machines), i.e. there is no (central) server through which agents communicate. And by non-smooth setting we mean that each agent has a convex stochastic non-smooth function, that is, agents can hold and communicate information only about the value of the objective function, which corresponds to a gradient-free oracle. In this paper, to minimize the global objective function, which consists of the sum of the functions of each agent, we create a gradient-free algorithm by applying a smoothing scheme via $l_2$ randomization. We also verify in experiments the obtained theoretical convergence results of the gradient-free algorithm proposed in this paper.

High consistency enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose
Creators: name: Qin, Wenjuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The work described in this thesis focused on the development of a practical, high consistency hydrolysis and fermentation processes utilizing existing pulp mill equipment. Carrying out enzymatic hydrolysis at high substrate loading provided a practical means of reducing the overall cost of a lignocellulose to ethanol bioconversion process. A laboratory peg mixer was used to carry out high consistency hydrolysis of several lignocellulosic substrate including an unbleached hardwood pulp (UBHW), an unbleached softwood pulp (UBSW), and an organosolv pretreated poplar (OPP) pulp. Enzymatic hydrolysis of OPP for 48 hours resulted in a hydrolysate with a glucose content of 158 g/L. This is among the highest glucose concentration reported for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates. The fermentation of UBHW and OPP hydrolysates with high glucose content led to high ethanol concentrations in the final fermentation broth (50.4 and 63.1 g/L, respectively). These values were again as high as any values reported previously in the literature. To overcome end-product inhibition caused by the high glucose concentration resulting from hydrolysis at high substrate concentration, a new hydrolysis and fermentation configuration, (liquefaction followed by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (LSSF)), was developed and evaluated using the OPP substrate. Applying LSSF led to a production of 63 g/L ethanol from OPP. The influence of enzyme loading and β-glucosidase addition on ethanol yield from the LSSF process was also investigated. It was found that, at higher enzyme loading (10FPU or higher), the ethanol production from LSSF was superior to that of the SHF process. It was apparent that the LSSF process could significantly reduce end-product inhibition when compared to a Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation (SHF) process. It was also apparent that β-glucosidase addition was necessary to achieve efficient ethanol production when using the LSSF process. A 10CBU β-glucosidase supplement was enough for the effective conversion of the 20% consistency OPP by LSSF. The rheological property change of the different substrates at the liquefaction stage was also examined using the rheometer technique. The use of a fed-batch hydrolysis process to further improve the high consistency hydrolysis efficiency was also assessed.

description: We show that the seesaw mechanisms that exhibit right-handed neutrino mass-dependent non-standard post-inflationary cosmology make blue-tilted inflationary gravitational waves (GW) compatible with the recent findings of nHz stochastic GW background by the pulsar-timing arrays (PTAs) for high reheating temperatures. The right-handed neutrino (RHN) mass scale has to be $\mathcal{O}(\rm GeV)$. Remarkably, such a scenario produces a correlated signature testable by the future LIGO run. In addition to contributing to the active neutrino masses, $\mathcal{O}(\rm GeV)$ RHNs generate baryon asymmetry of the universe via low-scale-leptogenesis. They can be searched for in collider experiments. Therefore, the recent detection by PTAs is not only exciting for GWs in the nHz range; it paves the way to test and constrain well-studied mechanisms, such as seesaws, with a low-frequency and a correlated measurement of high-frequency GW spectral features, complementary to particle physics searches.

Screening Geostatistical Realizations for SAGD Reservoir Simulation

description: Economic feasibility of bitumen recovery using the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process strongly depends on the heterogeneities that exist in the petrophysical properties of the reservoir. Petrophysical properties and geological features are normally estimated based on known well data and modeled using geostatistical techniques. However, the statistical nature of the geostatistical methods yields many different possible distributions of reservoir properties. As these static models have the same spatial continuity and honor known data, they are called realizations. Flow simulation of these realizations results in translation of dissimilarities in the static models into a range of dynamic performance responses such as the fluid production rate, cumulative production, and recovery. One option to capture the entire range of dynamic responses is to conduct numerical simulation on all the realizations. Clearly, this is a laborious and impractical task particularly for SAGD, which is a computationally burdensome and complicated modeling process. Another alternative would be to screen and rank realizations prior to detailed flow simulation. In this research, some of the published connectivity-based ranking methods were applied to synthetic SAGD datasets. After testing the applicability and effectiveness of the existing methods, a new ranking measure based on the static reservoir properties was introduced. The method established a reliable measure to successfully rank realizations based on both cumulative oil production and steam injection. The ranking method was further validated by using two realistic SAGD datasets from the fields located in the northern Alberta with one of the datasets containing multiple well pairs in the model. Despite the extent and complexities of the real models, the method was demonstrated to be strongly correlated to SAGD reservoir performance indicators. Moreover, the correlation was stable over time as long as gravity drainage was dominated. The proposed method is robust in identifying extreme performing realizations, can be easily applied to large models, and runs much faster than the existing in-house ranking methods. It can categorize realizations with similar performance characteristics into one group and discern groups that exhibit different responses. In this way, a few representative realizations from each category can be selected for detailed flow simulation studies. This reduces the uncertainty assessment time for SAGD process from months to just a few days.

description: In a previous study published in Astrobiology, we focused on the evolution of habitability of a 10 M_E super-Earth planet orbiting a star akin to the Sun. This study was based on a concept of planetary habitability in accordance to the integrated system approach that describes the photosynthetic biomass production taking into account a variety of climatological, biogeochemical, and geodynamical processes. In the present study, we pursue a significant augmentation of our previous work by considering stars with zero-age main sequence masses between 0.5 and 2.0 M_sun with special emphasis on models of 0.8, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5 M_sun. Our models of habitability consider again geodynamical processes during the main-sequence stage of these stars as well as during their red giant branch evolution. Pertaining to the different types of stars, we identify so-called photosynthesis-sustaining habitable zones (pHZ) determined by the limits of biological productivity on the planetary surface. We obtain various sets of solutions consistent with the principal possibility of life. Considering that stars of relatively high masses depart from the main-sequence much earlier than low-mass stars, it is found that the biospheric life-span of super-Earth planets of stars with masses above approximately 1.5 M_sun is always limited by the increase in stellar luminosity. However, for stars with masses below 0.9 M_sun, the life-span of super-Earths is solely determined by the geodynamic time-scale. For central star masses between 0.9 and 1.5 M_sun, the possibility of life in the framework of our models depends on the relative continental area of the super-Earth planet.

description: Hybrid working strategies have become, and will continue to be, the norm for many offices. This raises two considerations: newly unoccupied spaces needlessly consume energy, and the occupied spaces need to be effectively used to facilitate meaningful interactions and create a positive, sustainable work culture. This work aims to determine when spontaneous, collaborative interactions occur within the building and the environmental factors that facilitate such interactions. This study uses smartwatch-based micro-surveys using the Cozie platform to identify the occurrence of and spatially place interactions while categorizing them as a collaboration or distraction. This method uniquely circumvents pitfalls associated with surveying and qualitative data collection: occupant behaviors are identified in real-time in a non-intrusive manner, and survey data is corroborated with quantitative sensor data. A proof-of-concept study was deployed with nine hybrid-working participants providing 100 micro-survey cluster responses over approximately two weeks. The results show the spontaneous interactions occurring in hybrid mode are split evenly among the categories of collaboration, wanted socialization, and distraction and primarily occur with coworkers at one's desk. From these data, we can establish various correlations between the occurrence of positive spontaneous interactions and different factors, such as the time of day and the locations in the building. This framework and first deployment provide the foundation for future large-scale data collection experiments and human interaction modeling.

description: Collisions may be particularly risky for emergency medical services (EMS) and the patients they transport. Because of experiences with lights-and-sirens operations, EMS may have advantages in their perception of hazards, avoidance of which is critical to driving safety. To examine if differences in hazard perception between EMS and civilians exist, 29 EMS professionals, and 24 civilians were recruited to participate in a study of hazard perception. The dynamic hazard perception test assessed participants’ response latency to hazards in a series of 95 driving videos. There were no differences in simple reaction time between the groups. Compared to civilians, EMS demonstrated an advantage in hazard perception reaction time (HPRT). Within the profession, experienced EMS did not reveal faster HPRT compared to their less-experienced counterparts. Overall, these findings suggest that differences in experience due to emergency vehicle operations may have improved EMS hazard perception latency.

description: The VERITAS gamma ray observatory (Amado, AZ, veritas.sao.arizona.edu) uses the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) to study sources of Very High Energy (VHE: E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. Key science results from the first three years of observation include the discovery of the first VHE emitting starburst galaxy, detection of new Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), SuperNova Remnants (SNR), gamma ray binaries as well as strong limits on the emission of VHE gamma rays from dark matter annihilation in dwarf galaxies. In April 2010, VERITAS received funding to upgrade the photomultiplier tube cameras, pattern triggers, and networking systems in order to improve detector sensitivity, especially near detection threshold (E ~ 100 GeV). In this paper we describe the status of the VERITAS upgrade and the expected improvements in sensitivity when it is completed in summer 2012.

description: The building sector plays a crucial role in the worldwide decarbonization effort, accounting for significant portions of energy consumption and environmental effects. However, the scarcity of open data sources is a continuous challenge for built environment researchers and practitioners. Although several efforts have been made to consolidate existing open datasets, no database currently offers a comprehensive collection of building data types with all subcategories and time granularities (e.g., year, month, and sub-hour). This paper presents the Building Data Genome Directory, an open data-sharing platform serving as a one-stop shop for the data necessary for vital categories of building energy research. The data directory is an online portal (http://buildingdatadirectory.org/) that allows filtering and discovering valuable datasets. The directory covers meter, building-level, and aggregated community-level data at the spatial scale and year-to-minute level at the temporal scale. The datasets were consolidated from a comprehensive exploration of sources, including governments, research institutes, and online energy dashboards. The results of this effort include the aggregation of 60 datasets pertaining to building energy ontologies, building energy models, building energy and water data, electric vehicle data, weather data, building information data, text-mining-based research data, image data of buildings, fault detection diagnosis data and occupant data. A crowdsourcing mechanism in the platform allows users to submit datasets they suggest for inclusion by filling out an online form. This directory can fuel research and applications on building energy efficiency, which is an essential step toward addressing the world's energy and environmental challenges.

description: We study the ultrafast phonon response of mixed-valence perovskite Cs$_2$Au$_2$I$_6$ using pump-probe spectroscopy under high-pressure in a diamond anvil cell. We observed a remarkable softening and broadening of the Au - I stretching phonon mode with both applied pressure and photoexcitation. Using a double-pump scheme we measured a lifetime of the charge transfer excitation into single valence Au$^{2+}$ of less than 4 ps, which is an indication of the local character of the Au$^{2+}$ excitation. Furthermore, the strong similarity between the pressure and fluence dependence of the phonon softening shows that the inter-valence charge transfer plays an important role in the structural transition.

description: The objective of this study was to determine whether receiving Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) influences the perception and experience of abandonment by individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Participant eligibility was primarily defined by a confirmed diagnosis of BPD and completion of the first phase (e.g. skills training) of DBT. Four co-researchers (three female and one male) completed both the biographical questionnaire and the semi-structured interview administered by the primary researcher in one-on-one sessions. Verbatim transcripts of the interviews were analyzed according to the phenomenological existential method. The results indicated that there is a common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural experience of abandonment among the participants both before and after DBT, that the experience of abandonment is indeed different after DBT, and that this difference in experience is attributable to the application of DBT skills and DBT therapist trait of empathy used as an intervention in the form of validation.
