description: We discuss a new torsion pendulum design for ground testing of prototype LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) displacement sensors. This new design is directly sensitive to net forces and therefore provides a more representative test of the noisy forces and parasitic stiffnesses acting on the test mass as compared to previous ground-based experiments. We also discuss a specific application to the measurement of thermal gradient effects.

description: Julie brought in 3 handmade Christmas cards, probably sent home from the trenches in France. The first is from Christmas 1916 from her grandfather, George Bourne, to his wife, Ethel Kate (called Kit), and baby son - also George, born in October 1915.Poignantly, the card is to "my dear wife and baby" indicating that George may not have even seen the baby or known his name. Another card is dated Christmas 1917 and is to the son, Georgie. The third is to George's wife, but does not have a year on it. All cards are beautifully decorated - probably hand painted. There is also a wedding photo for George and Kit - dating from before 1914. Julie also brought in 2 medals and 2 ribbons, which were awarded to George. Both are in a box with his service details. It is thought that they are general service medals. Finally, there are 2 photos. One is of 3 soldiers by tents. On the right is Julie's grandfather. The date on the back is 31 May 1916, although there may be a December date handwritten onto it. There is a handwritten personal message to his wife and baby on the back, hoping that he will be home soon. The second shows a group of men in uniform. Julie thinks her grandfather is in the middle, but she has no further information on this photo. George survived the war and died in about 1967.

description: Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for greenhouse gas emission reductions. We supplement a global climate-energy-economy model with alternative cost estimates for reducing deforestation emissions in order to examine a global program for stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations at 550 ppmv of CO2 equivalent. Introducing REDD reduces global forestry emissions through 2050 by 20-22% in the Brazil-only case and by 64-88% in the global REDD scenarios. At the same time, REDD lowers the total costs of the climate policy by an estimated 10-25% depending on which tropical countries participate and whether the “banking” of excess credits for use in future periods is allowed. As a result, REDD could enable additional reductions of at least 20 ppmv of CO2-equivalent concentrations with no added costs compared to an energy-sector only policy. The cost savings from REDD are magnified if banking is allowed and there is a need to increase the stringency of global climate policy in the future in response, for example, to new scientific information. Results also indicate that REDD decreases carbon prices in 2050 by 8-23% with banking and 11-26% without banking. While developing regions, particularly Latin America, gain the value of REDD opportunities, the decrease in the carbon price keeps the value of international carbon market flows relatively stable despite an increase in volumes transacted. We also estimate that REDD generally reduces the total portfolio of investments and research and development of new energy technologies by 1-10%. However, due to impacts on the relative prices of different fossil fuels, REDD has a slight positive estimated effect on investments in coal-related technologies (IGCC and CCS) as well as, in some cases, non-electric energy R&D. This research confirms that integrating REDD into global carbon markets can provide powerful incentives for the preservation of tropical forests while lowering the costs of global climate change protection and providing valuable policy flexibility.

description: This paper investigates the causality in the decision making of movie recommendations through the users' affective profiles. We advocate a method of assigning emotional tags to a movie by the auto-detection of the affective features in the movie's overview. We apply a text-based Emotion Detection and Recognition model, which trained by tweets short messages and transfers the learned model to detect movie overviews' implicit affective features. We vectorized the affective movie tags to represent the mood embeddings of the movie. We obtain the user's emotional features by taking the average of all the movies' affective vectors the user has watched. We apply five-distance metrics to rank the Top-N movie recommendations against the user's emotion profile. We found Cosine Similarity distance metrics performed better than other distance metrics measures. We conclude that by replacing the top-N recommendations generated by the Recommender with the reranked recommendations list made by the Cosine Similarity distance metrics, the user will effectively get affective aware top-N recommendations while making the Recommender feels like an Emotion Aware Recommender.

description: We review detector technologies which are currently considered for ultimate nucleon decay searches, new generation astrophysical neutrinos studies, and for future long-baseline neutrino experiments at new high-intensity neutrino beam facilities. We focus our discussion on Phase-II experiments with a timescale of $10\simeq 20$ years. We point out that there are very few detector technologies which are general purpose and versatile enough in order to potentially address non-accelerator based physics and a large variety of future neutrino beam types ranging from superbeams, betabeams and neutrino factories from subGeV to 10's GeV energies.

description: I review the main features of the nuclear response extracted from electron scattering data. The emerging picture clearly shows that the shell model does not provide a fully quantitative description of nuclear dynamics. On the other hand, many body approaches in which correlation effetcs are explicitely taken into account lead to a satisfactory account of electron scattering observables. The possibility of exploiting the knowledge acquired from electron scattering to reduce the systematic uncertainty of neutrino oscillation experiments is outlined.

title: Samuel Beckett and the Second World War: historicising Beckett’s post-humanism
Creators: name: Davies, William
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: This thesis examines the impacts and traces of the Second World War in the work of Samuel Beckett. The thesis uses a conceptual framework that identifies Beckett’s historical sensibilities within his literary and philosophical engagements with the traditions of humanism and shows how these manifests in the various responses to history that his work produces. Using archival and historical sources, the thesis shows how Beckett’s intellectual attitudes to history and its relationship with art and writing develop across the wartime and post-war period in conjunction with his work’s mounting engagement with the presumptions and promises of modern humanism. By reading Beckett’s writing in the context of his encounters with the politics of the Irish Free State, Nazi Germany, Vichy France and post-Liberation Paris, this thesis both grounds Beckett’s work in its historical moment and shows how his writing incorporates, critiques, mocks and resists many of the dominant historical and political narratives of the period. The project offers new ways to consider Beckett’s use of history within his writing and shows that his treatment of history and his historical contexts frequently inform the most important elements of his literary achievements.
Interaction Between Light and Consciousness and the Possibility of Humans Moving Objects with Thought

description: This paper explores the cause of wave function collapse and proposes the hypothesis that human thoughts can move objects. By hypothesizing the relationship between light and matter, and between light and human consciousness, I propose an explanatory framework: all motion of matter originates from light, and matter essentially is light. I further hypothesize that there may be a connection between light and human consciousness, leading to the collapse of the wave function in quantum phenomena. This paper will detail this hypothesis and explore its implications for the possibility of moving objects with thought.
Regulation of inflammatory and fibrotic mediators by adenovirus E1A in guinea pig lung cells
Creators: name: Behzad, Ali Reza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Results from our laboratory have shown that guinea pigs with latent adenovirus infection develop excess lung inflammation and greater amounts of emphysema when chronically challenged with cigarette smoke. In this model the adenoviral E1A is expressed in peripheral lung epithelial (PLE) cells. We sought to establish PLE cell lines that stably express adenoviral E1A protein in culture and use these cells to investigate mechanisms by which E1A contributes to inflammatory and fibrotic responses. Primary PLE cultures were established on either plastic or on polycarbonate filters that were coated with extracellular matrix. Transfection of primary PLE cells grown on either substrate resulted in E1A-expressing PLE cell lines with epithelial characteristics of cytokeratin expression, cuboidal morphology and junctional complexes, but these cell lines failed to show more specific markers of PLE cells such as surfactant mRNA expression, lamellar bodies or microvilli. The suspicion that E1A transfection may have induced mesenchymal to epithelial transformation (MET) of contaminating normal lung fibroblasts (NLF) led us to compare E1A-PLE with E1A-NLF cell lines. E1A-expressing PLE and NLF cell lines showed similar epithelial characteristics and similar levels of mRNA and protein expression of IL-8 and MCP-1 before and after stimulation with LPS and TGF-pi and of CTGF in the absence of stimulation. These overlapping characteristics suggest that either E1A caused both PLE and NLF to converge to an intermediate phenotype or that E1A-expressing PLE cell lines are the result of E1A-induced MET of contaminating fibroblasts. E1A's enhancement of TGF-(31 mRNA expression in fibroblasts implicates this viral protein in the pathogenesis of fibrosis while the E1 A-induced suppression of IL-8 and MCP-1 may imply that E1A is acting as a negative regulator of inflammation. This suppression may reflect redirection of the host transcriptional apparatus by E1A to upregulate fibrotic
Cosmic Ray Acceleration by E-Parallel Reconnection of Force-Free Fields

Year: 2005

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose that nearly every accelerated CR was part of the parallel current that maintains all force-free (f-f) magnetic fields. Charged particles are accelerated by the E-parallel (to the magnetic filed B) produced by reconnection. The inferred total energy in extra-galactic cosmic rays is 10^(60) ergs per galaxy spacing volume, provided that acceleration mechanisms assumed do not preferentially only accelerate ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). This total energy is about 10^5 times the parent galactic CR or magnetic energy. The formation energy of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at galaxy centers, 10^(62) ergs, becomes the only feasible source. An efficient dynamo process converts gravitational free energy into magnetic energy in an accretion disk around a SMBH. Aided by Keplerian winding, this dynamo converts a poloidal seed field into f-f fields, which are transported into the general inter-galactic medium (IGM). This magnetic energy is also efficiently converted into particle energies, as evidenced by the radiation from energetic particles. CRs of the IGM are then the result of the continuing dissipation, in a Hubble time, of this magnetic energy, by acceleration within the f-f fields confined within the super-galactic walls and filaments of large scale structures. In addition, most UHECRs are diffusively lost to the galactic voids before the GZK attenuation time, 10^8 years and hence are lost from view. Similarly within the galaxy we expect that the winding by accretion are the sources of galactic CR acceleration. [edited]

description: The paper elicits a mechanism by which private leverage choices exhibit strategic complementarities through the reaction of monetary policy. When everyone engages in maturity transformation, authorities have little choice but facilitating refinancing. In turn, refusing to adopt a risky balance sheet lowers the return on equity. The key ingredient is that monetary policy is non-targeted. The ex post benefits from a monetary bailout accrue in proportion to the number amount of leverage, while the distortion costs are to a large extent fixed. This insight has important consequences. First, banks choose to correlate their risk exposures. Second, private borrowers may deliberately choose to increase their interest-rate sensitivity following bad news about future needs for liquidity. Third, optimal monetary policy is time inconsistent. Fourth, macro-prudential supervision is called for. We characterize the optimal regulation, which takes the form of a minimum liquidity requirement coupled with monitoring of the quality of liquid assets. We establish the robustness of our insights when the set of bailout instruments is endogenous and characterize the structure of optimal bailouts.

description: We consider the problem of analytically continuing energies computed with the Bethe ansatz, as posed by the study of non-compact integrable spin chains. By introducing an imaginary extensive twist in the Bethe equations, we show that one can expand the analytic continuation of energies in the scaling limit around another 'pseudo-vacuum' sitting at a negative number of Bethe roots, in the same way as around the usual pseudo-vacuum. We show that this method can be used to compute the energy levels of some states of the $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ integrable spin chain in the infinite-volume limit, and as a proof of principle recover the ground-state value previously obtained in [1] (for the case of spins $s=0, \bar{s}=-1$) by extrapolating results in small sizes. These results represent, as far as we know, the first (partial) description of the spectrum of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ non-compact spin chains in the thermodynamic limit.

Convergence of differentially expressed genes (FDR <5%) in the current study with other ASD hiPSC transcriptome studies was assessed using a Fisher’s Exact Test (FET) and an estimated odds-ratio was computed in comparison to a genome-wide background set to 20,000. Significant overlaps are demarked with a red asterisks (*). All overlapping genes found in common with the current study were pooled and subjected to functional enrichment using FET and adjusting for genome background of 17,353 genes. Overlap of differentially expressed genes and functional annotation was performed using data from (A-B) Huang et al., 2019, (C-D) Wang et al., 2015, and (E-G) Chen et al., 2014, (H) Gigek et al., 2015, (I-J) Zheng et al., 2013, and (K-M) Deneault et al., 2018. Note that no functional enrichment was observed based on the overlap with (G) Chen et al., 2014 and (H) Gigek et al., 2015. To simply multiple overlaps, (K-L) the -log10 P-value (x-axis) is used to display the extent of significance based on gene expression perturbations associated with CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of 10 different ASD genes.

description: The dominant assumption in economic models of climate policy remains that adaptation will be implemented in an optimal manner. There are, however, several reasons why optimal levels of adaptation may not be attainable. This paper investigates the effects of suboptimal levels of adaptation, i.e. adaptation restrictions, on the composition and level of climate change costs and on welfare. Several adaptation restrictions are identified and then simulated in a revised DICE model, extended with adaptation (AD-DICE). We find that especially substantial over-investment in adaptation can be very harmful due to sharply increasing marginal adaptation costs. Furthermore the potential of mitigation to offset suboptimal adaptation is investigated. When adaptation is not possible at extreme levels of climate change, it is cost-effective to use more stringent mitigation policies in order to keep climate change limited, thereby making adaptation possible. Furthermore not adjusting the optimal level of mitigation to these adaptation restrictions may double the costs of adaptation restrictions, and thus in general it is very harmful to ignore existing restrictions on adaptation when devising (efficient) climate policies.

description: We propose a hydrodynamics theory of collective quantum Hall states, which describes incompressible liquids, hexatic liquid crystals, a bubble solid and a Wigner crystal states within a unified framework. The structure of the theory is uniquely determined by the space-time symmetry, and a symmetry with respect to static shear deformations. In agreement with recent experiments the theory predicts two gapped collective modes for incompressible liquids. We argue that the presence of the above two modes is a universal property of a magnetized two-dimensional collective liquid.

We observe anti-crossings of spin-split Landau levels, which suggest a mixing of spin states at Landau level coincidence. We propose that the level repulsion is due to the presence of spin-orbit and of band-non-parabolicity terms which are relevant in narrow-gap systems. Furthermore, electron-electron interaction is significant in our structure, as demonstrated by the large values of the interaction-induced enhancement of the electronic g-factor.

description: We focus on the energy landscape of a simple mean-field model of glasses and analyze activated barrier-crossing by combining the Kac-Rice method for high-dimensional Gaussian landscapes with dynamical field theory. In particular, we consider Langevin dynamics at low temperature in the energy landscape of the pure spherical $p$-spin model. We select as initial condition for the dynamics one of the many unstable index-1 saddles in the vicinity of a reference local minimum. We show that the associated dynamical mean-field equations admit two solutions: one corresponds to falling back to the original reference minimum, and the other to reaching a new minimum past the barrier. By varying the saddle we scan and characterize the properties of such minima reachable by activated barrier-crossing. Finally, using time-reversal transformations, we construct the two-point function dynamical instanton of the corresponding activated process.

description: We show that general infrared modifications of the Einstein-Hilbert action obtained by addition of curvature invariants are not viable. These modifications contain either ghosts or light gravity scalars. A very specific fine-tuning might solve the problem of ghosts, but the resulting theory is still equivalent to a scalar-tensor gravity and thus gives a corrupted picture of gravity at the solar system scale. The only known loophole is that the theory becomes higher dimensional at large distances. The infinite number of degrees of freedom introduced in this way is not reducible to the addition of an arbitrary function of curvature invariants.

description: Robustness of machine learning methods is essential for modern practical applications. Given the arms race between attack and defense methods, one may be curious regarding the fundamental limits of any defense mechanism. In this work, we focus on the problem of learning from noise-injected data, where the existing literature falls short by either assuming a specific attack method or by over-specifying the learning problem. We shed light on the information-theoretic limits of adversarial learning without assuming a particular learning process or attacker. Finally, we apply our general bounds to a canonical set of non-trivial learning problems and provide examples of common types of attacks.

description: Climate change may cause most harm to countries that contribute least to greenhouse gas emissions. This paper identifies deontology, solidarity and consequentialism as the principles that can serve as a basis for a fair international burden sharing scheme of adaptation costs. We translate these principles into criteria that can be applied in assigning contributions of individual countries, namely historical responsibility, equality and capacity to pay. Specific political and scientific choices are discussed, highlighting implications for international burden-sharing. Combining historical responsibility and capacity to pay seems a promising starting point for international negotiations on the design of burden-sharing schemes. From the numerical assessment, it is clear that UNFCCC Annex I countries carry the greatest burden under most scenarios, but contributions differ substantially subject to the choice of an indicator for capacity to pay. The total financial contribution by the Annex I countries could be in the range of $55-68 billion annually.
Understandings of cancer genetics : the case of colon cancer

description: More men and women die every year from colorectal cancer (CRC) in Canada than from any other cancer with the exception of lung cancer (Canada 1997). The focus of this study is on the most common form of hereditary cancer in both men and women: hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) (Kinney, et al. 2000). The fundamental thesis of this study is that individuals who are genetically at risk for HNPCC employ healing emplotment, a narrative strategy, for constructing their autobiography and managing the lifelong threats to themselves posed by this unique cancer. This concept builds on other work in medical anthropology on illness narratives and therapeutic emplotment that focuses on the ways that patients and practitioners utilize narrative to interpret illness and therapies (DelVecchio-Good, et al. 1994; Good and Good 1994; Gordon and Paci 1997; Kleinman 1988; Mattingly 1989; 1994; 1998; Saris 1994; 1995; 1996). I argue that personhood is at the very heart of the healing process. Personhood is as a process for describing the ongoing negotiation between the self as the centre of experience and the cultural forces that surround it. Furthermore, just as Bourdieu (1990; 1995; 1999) discusses forms of symbolic capital in society, I have expanded upon the notion by recognizing the role of psychological and emotional resources in the concept of emotional capital. Emotional capital flows from personal connections with others: lovers, family, friends and it holds absolute value relative to all other forms of capital during fateful moments. The interviews in this study indicate that emotional capital is a fundamental part of individuals' interpretations of their experience of genetic risk. Using ethnography and open-ended interviews with 33 individuals from 15 families at risk for HNPCC, this study examines the unique aspects of hereditary colon cancer and investigates the dynamic process people engage in to address the social and clinical threats posed by HNPCC. As well, 18 medical practitioners, primarily specialists in oncology, were also interviewed in order to obtain insight into clinician understandings of HNPCC and the relationship between medicine and clinical genetics.

description: GitHub has become a popular social application platform, where a large number of users post their open source projects. In particular, an increasing number of researchers release repositories of source code related to their research papers in order to attract more people to follow their work. Motivated by this trend, we describe a novel item-item cross-platform recommender system, $\textit{paper2repo}$, that recommends relevant repositories on GitHub that match a given paper in an academic search system such as Microsoft Academic. The key challenge is to identify the similarity between an input paper and its related repositories across the two platforms, $\textit{without the benefit of human labeling}$. Towards that end, paper2repo integrates text encoding and constrained graph convolutional networks (GCN) to automatically learn and map the embeddings of papers and repositories into the same space, where proximity offers the basis for recommendation. To make our method more practical in real life systems, labels used for model training are computed automatically from features of user actions on GitHub. In machine learning, such automatic labeling is often called {\em distant supervision\/}. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first distant-supervised cross-platform (paper to repository) matching system. We evaluate the performance of paper2repo on real-world data sets collected from GitHub and Microsoft Academic. Results demonstrate that it outperforms other state of the art recommendation methods.

description: We use conjoint choice questions to investigate people’s tastes for cancer risk reductions and income in the context of public programs that would provide for remediation at abandoned industrial contaminated sites. Our survey was self-administered using the computer by persons living in the vicinity of an important contaminated site on the Italian National Priority List. The value of a prevented case of cancer is €2.6 million, but this figure does vary with income, perceived exposure to contaminants, and opinions about priorities that should be pursued by cleanup programs.

description: This report presents relevant statistics that highlight the economic activity of the U.S. seed industry. The focus of this report is on the four main U.S. crops: corn, soybean, wheat, and cotton. The report contains three sections. The first is related to the U.S. seed market’s size based on seed sales and expenditures. The second section examines industry investment in research and development (R&D) activity in terms of both budget and human resources. The final section illustrates the impact of the seed industry in terms of intellectual property development, improved productivity, and other benefits. This report focuses on using publicly available data to examine these three areas. In addition, the report presents the results of a survey conducted among American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) members that helped fill some gaps in publicly available information. The report ends with identification of deficiencies in the industry data that could be improved with more study and/or reporting from the industry.

description: We report high-precision mass measurements of $^{50-55}$Sc isotopes performed at the LEBIT facility at NSCL and at the TITAN facility at TRIUMF. Our results provide a substantial reduction of their uncertainties and indicate significant deviations, up to 0.7 MeV, from the previously recommended mass values for $^{53-55}$Sc. The results of this work provide an important update to the description of emerging closed-shell phenomena at neutron numbers $N=32$ and $N=34$ above proton-magic $Z=20$. In particular, they finally enable a complete and precise characterization of the trends in ground state binding energies along the $N=32$ isotone, confirming that the empirical neutron shell gap energies peak at the doubly-magic $^{52}$Ca. Moreover, our data, combined with other recent measurements, does not support the existence of closed neutron shell in $^{55}$Sc at $N=34$. The results were compared to predictions from both \emph{ab initio} and phenomenological nuclear theories, which all had success describing $N=32$ neutron shell gap energies but were highly disparate in the description of the $N=34$ isotone.

description: An extensive series of neutron diffraction experiments and molecular dynamics simulations has shown that mixtures of methanol and water exhibit extended structures in solution despite the components being fully miscible in all proportions. Of particular interest is a concentration region(methanol mole fraction between 0.27 and 0.54) where {\em both} methanol and water appear to form separate, percolating networks. This is the concentration range where many transport properties and thermodynamic excess functions reach extremal values. The observed concentration dependence of several of these material properties of the solution may therefore have a structural origin.
