description: We apply a promising new method from the field of representations of Lie groups to calculate integrals over unitary groups, which are important for multi-antenna communications. To demonstrate the power and simplicity of this technique, we first re-derive a number of results that have been used recently in the community of wireless information theory, using only a few simple steps. In particular, we derive the joint probability distribution of eigenvalues of the matrix GG*, with G a semicorrelated Gaussian random matrix or a Gaussian random matrix with a non-zero mean (and G* its hermitian conjugate) . These joint probability distribution functions can then be used to calculate the moment generating function of the mutual information for Gaussian channels with multiple antennas on both ends with this probability distribution of their channel matrices G. We then turn to the previously unsolved problem of calculating the moment generating function of the mutual information of MIMO (multiple input-multiple output) channels, which are correlated at both the receiver and the transmitter. From this moment generating function we obtain the ergodic average of the mutual information and study the outage probability. These methods can be applied to a number of other problems. As a particular example, we examine unitary encoded space-time transmission of MIMO systems and we derive the received signal distribution when the channel matrix is correlated at the transmitter end.

title: Cytomegalovirus and chronic rejection of liver grafts
Creators: name: Evans, Paul Charles
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis tested the hypothesis that cytomegalovirus (CMV) may initiate or enhance chronic rejection of liver grafts. A polymerase chain reaction(PGR) test was developed and used to monitor 33 liver transplant patients for active CMV infection (Chapters 2 and 3). The incidence of urine PCR positivity and prolonged active CMV infection were risk factors for chronic rejection (Chapter 4).

Matching and mismatching of HLA alleles between donor and recipient was not shown to be a risk factor for chronic rejection. However, HLA class I matching was associated with (clearance of active CMV (Chapter 4).

Recipients with the TNF-2 promoter allele (associated with enhanced expression of TNF) were at increased risk of chronic rejection. Furthermore, active CMV infection and the TNF-2 promoter allele were shown to act synergistically as risk factors for chronic rejection (Chapter 4).

In addition, two or more episodes of acute rejection or a pre transplant diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PEG) were shown tu be risk factors for chronic rejection (Chapter 4).

CMV was also studied in the context of humoral immunity and chronic rejection (Chapter 5). Western blotting of hepatic artery and bile duct tissue (sites of rejection mediated damage) showed that post transplant IgA antibody to a 44 kD bile duct protein was associated with development of active CMV infection but was not associated with chronic rejection. However, pre transplant IgA antibodies to 94 and 39 kD bile duct proteins or IgG antibodies to 160 and 85 kD hepatic artery proteins were associated with an increased risk of chronic rejection.

CMV was identified in bile duct epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, hepatocytes and mononuclear cells of liver grafts by in situ hybridisation (Chapter 6). Active CMV infection of the graft, especially epithelial cells, was associated with chronic rejection.

Finally, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was not detected in serum, whole blood or liver graft tissue by PCR and was not an important pathogen after liver transplantation.

description: The arrangement of plasmonic nanoparticles in a non-symmetrical environment can feature the far-field and/or near-field interactions depending on the distance between the objects. In this work, we study the hybridization of three intrinsic plasmonic modes (dipolar, quadrupolar and hexapolar modes) sustained by one elliptical aluminium nanocylinder, as well as behavior of the hybridized modes when the nanoparticles are organized in array or when the refractive index of the surrounding medium is changed. The position and the intensity of these hybridized modes were shown to be affected by the near-field and far-field interactions between the nanoparticles. In this work, two hybridized modes were tuned in the UV spectral range to spectrally coincide with the intrinsic interband excitation and emission bands of ZnO nanocrystals. The refractive index of the ZnO nanocrystals layer influences the positions of the plasmonic modes and increases the role of the superstrate medium, which in turn results in the appearance of two separate modes in the small spectral region. Hence, the enhancement of ZnO nanocrystals photoluminescence benefits from the simultaneous excitation and emission enhancements.

description: We consider static and cylindrically symmetric interior string type solutions in the scalar-tensor representation of the hybrid metric-Palatini modified theory of gravity. As a first step in our study, we obtain the gravitational field equations and further simplify the analysis by imposing Lorentz invariance along the $t$ and $z$ axes, which reduces the number of unknown metric tensor components to a single function $W^2(r)$. In this case, the general solution of the field equations can be obtained, for an arbitrary form of the scalar field potential, in an exact closed parametric form, with the scalar field $ϕ$ taken as a parameter. We consider in detail several exact solutions of the field equations, corresponding to a null and constant potential, and to a power-law potential of the form $V(ϕ)=V_0ϕ^{3/4}$, in which the behaviors of the scalar field, of the metric tensor components and of the string tension can be described in a simple mathematical form. We also investigate the string models with exponential and Higgs type scalar field potentials by using numerical methods. In this way we obtain a large class of novel stable string-like solutions in the context of hybrid metric-Palatini gravity, in which the basic parameters, such as the scalar field, metric tensor components, and string tension, depend essentially on the initial values of the scalar field, and of its derivative, on the $r=0$ circular axis.

description: This is the written version of the Bourbaki seminar given in January 2013 and published in 2014 (modulo an additional early reference added subsequently). It describes the first construction of infinite, finitely generated amenable simple groups. It starts with a general study of topological-full groups, along with indications on the first appearances of such groups. Then the theorem is proved, namely that the derived subgroup of the topological-full group of an infinite minimal subshift is both simple and finitely generated (Matui 2006) and amenable (Juschenko-Monod 2013, after being conjectured by Grigorchuk-Medynets). Some other properties of these groups are discussed. None of the numerous subsequent developments since 2013 are mentioned.

We find that extensive cancellations between the fermionic and bosonic sectors of the theory cause the effective potential to vanish, with the exception of a higher order curvature term of the type which might arise from string corrections.

description: We report a study of the structural and magnetic properties of single crystals of Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$. Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$ crystallizes in a layered tetragonal structure, and undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition below 3.1 K. We characterize the temperature-field phase diagrams of Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$ for fields both within the $ab$-plane and along the $c$-axis, where the presence of a field-induced magnetic phase is found for in-plane fields. The ordering temperature is moderately enhanced upon the application of pressures up to 2.3~GPa, suggesting that Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$ corresponds to the well localized region of the Doniach phase diagram.

The phase diagram contains $(π,0)$ and $(π,π)$ antiferromagnetic phases separated by the Valence Bond Crystal (VBC) state. I argue that the point of the phase diagram with deconfined spinons, predicted in the aforementioned work, is situated in the middle of VBC state, at the point where the dimerization order parameter changes sign.

description: The variation of average transverse mass of identified hadrons with charge multiplicity have been studied for AGS, SPS and RHIC energies. The observation of a plateau in the average transverse mass for multiplicities corresponding to SPS energies is attributed to the formation of a co-existence phase of quark gluon plasma and hadrons. A subsequent rise for RHIC energies may indicate a deconfined phase in the initial state. Several possibilities which can affect the average transverse mass are discussed. Constraints on the initial temperature and thermalization time have been put from the various experimental data available at SPS energies.

title: The Implications of Option Pricing Theory on United Kingdom Development Policy
Creators: name: Cerny, Keith
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Investment policy makers have consistently sought to promote inward investment through investment incentives of various kinds (e.g. capital grants, depreciation allowances). In applying these instruments, governments seek to influence companies as they apply a traditional investment decision making approach known as Net Present Value (NPV) analysis. Each of the government investment incentives influences some aspect of the NPV calculation. Relatively recent research by McDonald Siegel (1986) has show n that for certain classes of investments, the NPV approach is inaccurate, often by a factor of two or more. This is because the NPV approach neglects the value of the option gained w hen a company chooses not to invest; by waiting a year or more, a company gains insight into macroeconomic and industry factors. If a company chooses to invest today, it must be sure that the return is sufficient to justify giving up the value of this additional information. The value of this option can be quantified, based upon the underlying volatility and trend of the investment, and the company's cost of capital. This research creates an explicit linkage between traditional NPV analysis and the option valuation approach, before considering a whole new set of policy instruments designed to increase a company's likelihood to invest. The research develops several potential new instruments, screens them for the desired behaviour, and selects the most promising instrument. The new instrument is then validated by using an investment case example adapted from the public domain and a large computer model. The research also discusses several related areas. It describes the effect of overlaying Poisson type events on an investment decision (i.e. a sudden shift in the value of the investment), and draws the implications of this thinking on the policy approaches that should be taken by incumbent and opposition regional policy makers. Lastly, the research includes a review of the U.K.'s regional policy objectives and an analysis of different approaches to corporate investment decision making.

description: Vector-like Quarks (VLQs) are potential signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV energy scale and major efforts have been put forward at both ATLAS and CMS experiments in search of these particles. In order to make these search results more relatable in the context of most plausible theories of VLQs, it is deemed important to present the analysis results in a general fashion. We investigate the challenges associated with such interpretations of singly produced VLQ searches and propose a generalized, semi-analytical framework that allows a model-independent casting of the results in terms of unconstrained, free parameters of the VLQ Lagrangian. We also propose a simple parameterization of the correction factor to the single VLQ production cross-section at large decay widths. We illustrate how the proposed framework can be used to conveniently represent statistical limits by numerically reinterpreting results from benchmark ATLAS and CMS analyses.

description: We identify essential differences between the pentaquark and chiral soliton models of \10bar$_5$ and {\bf 8}$_5$ pentaquarks and conventional {\bf 8}$_3$ states, which are experimentally measurable. We show how the decays of $Ξ_5$ states in particular can test models of the pentaquarks, recommend study of the relative branching ratios of e.g. $Ξ^{-}_5 \to Ξ^-π^0:Ξ^0π^-$, and predict that the decay amplitude $Ξ_5 \to Ξ^*π$ is zero at leading order in pentaquark models for any mixture of \10bar and the associated {\bf 8}$_5$. We also include a pedagogic discussion of wavefunctions in the pentaquark picture and show that pentaquark models have this {\bf 8}$_5$ with $F/D=1/3$, in leading order forbidding $Ξ_5 \to ΛK$. The role of Fermi-Dirac symmetry in the $qqqq$ wavefunction and its implications for the width of pentaquarks are briefly discussed. The relative couplings $g^2(Θ_Q N K_Q^*)/g^2(Θ_Q N K_Q) = 3$ for $Q \equiv s,c,b$. A further potentially narrow state $Λ$ in {\bf 8}$_5$ with $J^P = 3/2^+$ is predicted around 1650 MeV.

description: The rootstock ‘Myrobalan 29C’ (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) is one of the widely used rootstocks for production of plum and apricot planting material. In May, 2020, on the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces and young stems of ‘Myrobalan 29C’ rootstocks, typical symptoms of powdery mildew - white powdery colonies with white superficial mycelium and conidia were observed. Later on chasmothecia appeared in some injured leaf tissues. The microscope findings visualized conidia formed in true chains on erect conidiophores which were ellipsoid, hyaline and measured 24.6 to 33.6 x 10.8 to 20.8 µm (average 29.6 x 15.8 µm) and globose chasmothecia with appendages arising from the upper half of the fruiting bodies. Usually, appendages were in length one to four times long towards the chasmothecial diameter and had two to four dichotomous branches. A single ascus, observed in a chasmothecium, was broadly ellipsoid-ovoid contained six to eight ascospores. The shape of the ascospores was ellipsoid-ovoid too. Pathogenicity tests were carried out by inoculation of healthy ‘Myrobalan 29C’, apricot (P. armeniaca L.) and cherry (P. avium L.) plants. Disease signs on all of the inoculated experimental species appeared as white powdery coating very similar to the powdery coating on natural infected ‘Myrobalan 29C’. Based on the morphological characteristics of the conidia, chasmothecia and results of the pathogenicity tests, the causal agent of the symptoms observed was presumed to belong to Podosphaera sp. (Ascomycetes). To the best of our knowledge, previously no detailed characterization of Podosphaera sp. in P. creasifera has been reported in Bulgaria

description: We propose an automatic and formally sound method for synthesising Lyapunov functions for the asymptotic stability of autonomous non-linear systems. Traditional methods are either analytical and require manual effort or are numerical but lack of formal soundness. Symbolic computational methods for Lyapunov functions, which are in between, give formal guarantees but are typically semi-automatic because they rely on the user to provide appropriate function templates. We propose a method that finds Lyapunov functions fully automatically$-$using machine learning$-$while also providing formal guarantees$-$using satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). We employ a counterexample-guided approach where a numerical learner and a symbolic verifier interact to construct provably correct Lyapunov neural networks (LNNs). The learner trains a neural network that satisfies the Lyapunov criteria for asymptotic stability over a samples set; the verifier proves via SMT solving that the criteria are satisfied over the whole domain or augments the samples set with counterexamples. Our method supports neural networks with polynomial activation functions and multiple depth and width, which display wide learning capabilities. We demonstrate our method over several non-trivial benchmarks and compare it favourably against a numerical optimisation-based approach, a symbolic template-based approach, and a cognate LNN-based approach. Our method synthesises Lyapunov functions faster and over wider spatial domains than the alternatives, yet providing stronger or equal guarantees.

description: Sustaining participation in design is difficult, especially in neighborhoods that seek change consistent with their cultural values. Participatory Design offers several approaches (e.g. infrastructuring) that help to balance the sensibilities of urban planning with the immediacies of design. This paper investigates the distinctive value of a “constellation” of participatory activities that sustained engagement throughout the design of an urban plaza, combining physical and digital flows. Based on a three-year collaboration in a historically black South LA neighborhood, this study analyzes the re- invention of urban furniture – payphones, bus benches, newspaper boxes, planters, and public displays – into community interactions. After reviewing the concrete vision of this constellation, the City of Los Angeles decided to fund the implementation of a pedestrian plaza. This paper articulates our methods of infrastructuring, providing techniques that sustain participation over time around physical urban objects that become touch points for fluid groups of designers. More than any one design, the constellation approach provides a platform for horizontal iteration, maintaining focus and participation in imagining a neighborhood’s socio-technical future.

This paper articulates our methods of infrastructuring, providing techniques that sustain participation over time around physical urban objects that become touch points for fluid groups of designers. More than any one design, the constellation approach provides a platform for horizontal iteration, maintaining focus and participation in imagining a neighborhood’s socio-technical future.

description: This report aims to determine whether or not disposable or reusable chopsticks are suitable for student usage in the New Student Union Building (SUB) at UBC. Every year, approximately 350,000 pairs of disposable chopsticks are thrown away on UBC campus. This is a problem in the long run and the aim of the new SUB is to reduce the carbon footprint of students in the new SUB, the aim of this report is to minimize that from disposable utensils such as disposable chopsticks. An analysis is conducted on the two products based on the environmental, economical, and social impacts of disposable and reusable chopsticks. Reusable chopsticks are usually made out of plastic and metal whereas disposable chopsticks are wood and bamboo. Even though Canada is abundant with forests, it is important to acknowledge that it is not an unlimited source of material. After surveying a small sample population within users of the SUB, we have found that more than 80% of the participants are willing to bring their own reusable chopsticks if they were given a discount of some sort when purchasing their meals. This report concludes that reusable chopsticks are a much more sustainable option than disposable chopsticks as UBC strives to be a global leader in sustainability. By implementing cheap vending machines in the new SUB providing cheap reusable chopsticks will help raise awareness of the issues regarding disposable utensils. This will also encourage students and staff members not only to bring disposable utensils to school, but even to other places in Vancouver. It is recommended for washing stations to be implemented around the new SUB if reusable chopsticks are replacing disposable chopsticks.

description: An insulation network was constructed by adding hydroxyapatite nanowires (HNs) to a hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) system. The HNs improve the mechanical and insulating properties of the composites. The results showed the formation of strong chemical interactions between the HEC and HNs. Moreover, 20% HNs addition maximized the electrical insulation and tensile strength of the HEC/HNs film to 12.7 kV/mm and 34.12 MPa, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a three-dimensional network of HNs at the perforated edge of the films, which prevented further decomposition of HEC by the current flow. The superior mechanical properties of the combined HEC and HNs were attributed to the self-assembling cambium structure.
Brane cosmology with curvature corrections

description: We study the cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world where the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. The combined effect of these curvature corrections to the action removes the infinite-density big bang singularity, although the curvature can still diverge for some parameter values. A radiation brane undergoes accelerated expansion near the minimal scale factor, for a range of parameters. This acceleration is driven by the geometric effects, without an inflaton field or negative pressures. At late times, conventional cosmology is recovered.

Hybrid games for stronger neighborhoods : connecting residents and urban objects to deepen the sense of place
Creators: name: Stokes, Benjamin

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This learning workshop will prototype and advance theory around the participatory design of hybrid games. In contrast to screen-centered games, our platform makes it easier to repurpose ordinary urban objects – from aging payphones to experimental bus stop displays. The resulting games are hybrids, where the action is alternately woven across the digital and physical. Successful hybrid games offer choices to players that are immediate, from introducing neighbors (building the social fabric), to photographing street art (documenting local culture), buying from a local business (shifting the economy), and revealing local history. Based on three years of experience in South Los Angeles, our methods for Participatory Design (PD) combine low and high- tech to leverage local culture. The resulting games emphasize social mixing – including with local businesses – and are amplified online with flows of pictures, audio and text. For workshop participants, no technology skills are needed – since the platform seeks to maximize participation in the design process. Participants’ own knowledge of cities and important cultural neighborhoods will be used to create 2-3 semi- functional games. Hidden in each design is a set of technologies that join communication networks, including cell phone SMS and Raspberry Pi computers hidden inside payphones. The most important result of this workshop may be in identifying PD theory that could help the field of game design, and vice-versa, as the two fields increasingly consider street- based media and how to constitute publics around city streets.

description: We determine the Zemach moments of hydrogen and deuterium for the first time using only the world data on elastic electron-proton and electron-deuteron scattering. Such moments are required for the calculation of the nuclear corrections to the hyperfine structure of these hydrogenic atoms. We compare the resulting HFS predictions to the available high-precision data and provide an estimate of the size of the nuclear polarization corrections necessary to produce agreement between experimental HFS and theoretical calculations.

Normal metal to ferromagnetic superconductor tunneling

description: We study the point-contact tunneling between normal metal and ferromagnetic superconductor. In the case of magnon-induced pairing the tunneling conductance is continuous and smooth function of the applied voltage. For small values of the applied voltage the Ohm law holds. We show that one can obtain the magnetization and the superconducting order parameter from the tunneling conduc- tance. In the case of paramagnon-induced superconductivity the tunneling does not depend on the magnetization. We argue that tunneling experiment can unambiguously determine the correct pairing mechanism in the ferromagnetic superconductors.

description: Alkaline aerobic oxidation is a promising way to convert lignin to low molecular weight phenols, especially 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes. Our previous studies reported that oxidation of softwood lignin samples with a bulky cation, Bu4N+, facilitates selective production of vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde). This study presents vanillin production from native softwood lignin in Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) in NaOH aq. in the presence of cyclic polyethers, with our expectation that Na+-polyether complexes exhibit effects similar to those of Bu4N+. Oxidation of wood flour (10 mg) in 4.0 M NaOH aq. (2.0 mL) at 120 °C under air gave vanillin with 6.2 wt% lignin-based yield, which was raised to 15.2 wt% by the addition of 15-crown-5 (1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane). On the other hand, such effect was not observed with the addition of tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, a non-cyclic analog of 15-crown-5. Mechanistic study with a lignin model compound revealed that stabilization of a vanillin precursor by the complex cation was a reason for the increased vanillin yield exhibited by the crown ether. This is similar to the influence of Bu4N+ reported previously, suggesting effective control of aerobic oxidation by large size cationic species.

description: Surveys of individual's risk-dollar tradeotfs illumi· nate not only the local tradeoff rates but also can be used to address more fundamental questions about the structure of utility functions. This largely unexplored empi~ical area (s investigated by developing an econometric techn1que to est1· mate utility functions based on survey data on risk-dollar tradeoffs for minor health effects. The empirical tests indicate that for all but one of the temporary health effects consid· ered. consumers treat injuries as tantamount to a drop in income. implying that the health impact does not alter the structure of the utility function in a fundamental way.
