description: In the present paper a criteria for a rectangular diagram to admit a simplification is given in terms of Legendrian knots. It is shown that there are two types of simplifications which are mutually independent in a sense. A new proof of the monotonic simplification theorem for the unknot is given. It is shown that a minimal rectangular diagram maximizes the Thurston--Bennequin number for the corresponding Legendrian links. Jones' conjecture about the invariance of the algebraic number of intersections of a minimal braid representing a fixed link type is proved.

description: While worldwide pandemic influenza A(H1N1) pdm case fatality rate (CFR) was 0.4%, Argentina's was 4.5%. A total of 34 strains from mild and severe cases were analyzed. A full genome sequencing was carried out on 26 of these, and a partial sequencing on the remaining eight. We observed no evidence that the high CFR can be attributed to direct virus changes. No evidence of re-assortment, mutations associated with resistance to antiviral drugs, or genetic drift that might contribute to virulence was observed. Although the mutation D225G associated with severity in the latest reports from the Ukraine and Norway is not observed among the Argentine strains, an amino acid change in the area (S206T) surrounding the HA receptor binding domain was observed, the same previously established worldwide.
Aristotle on vice and misery

description: A huge body of work is devoted to understanding Aristotelian virtue. By comparison Aristotle's views on the nature of vice have been somewhat neglected. This thesis aims to develop a new approach to Aristotelian vice, outlining its peculiarities in comparison with modern conceptions of vice, delineating the boundaries between vice and other deficient character states, and discovering why it is that Aristotle believes vice to be problematic. To give some shape to the investigation, I ask a guiding question: why is Aristotle's vicious person miserable? In Book IX of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle describes the vicious agent as one who hates their own life because of their vice. The vicious agent is full of regret, utterly miserable, and is even suicidal according to some translators. But Aristotle does not give a detailed explanation as to why this might be the case. It is the task of this thesis to comb through Aristotle's statements about vice, piecing together an account that makes sense of this misery. First, I survey the character states who share a deficient soul in various ways and to various degrees. Here I turn to the enkratic, akratic and brutish agent to show how they fail to be virtuous and how their failure is different to that of the vicious.
 Second, I posit a character state in-between akrasia and vice which I will call the 'in- between state' and suggest that Aristotle himself might make room for such a person. In looking at the in-between state we see a character who behaves with remarkable surface similarities to the vicious agent and give an account of why such a person is not properly vicious. Third, I will turn more closely to Aristotle's specific discussions of the vicious agent, here outlining the badness of vice and explaining why vice is bad for the agent. The second half of this task turns to study vicious misery. Here I will offer a novel account of vicious misery, arguing that the ends of the vicious agent cannot be met for teleological reasons and moreover that the ends of the vicious person fail to satisfy an innate desire for the true human good. Finally, I look at some potential counterexamples to this thesis and attempt to defend it against them.

description: A nosocomial outbreak of disease involving 5 patients, 4 of whom died, occurred in South Africa during September—October 2008. The first patient had been transferred from Zambia to South Africa for medical management. Three cases involved secondary spread of infection from the first patient, and 1 was a tertiary infection. A novel arenavirus was identified. The source of the first patient's infection remains undetermined.
Identifying novel regulators of Rho1 signaling in S.cerevisiae
Creators: name: Wei, Horace
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Rho GTPases are conserved signaling molecules that regulate a wide range of cellular pathways. Numerous regulators and effectors of Rho contribute to the complexity of Rho signaling in cells. Changes in Rho mediated pathways can often lead to human diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. How Rho signaling specificity is regulated is not well understood. Our study uses the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study the regulation of Rho1 signaling. Rho1, the homolog of mammalian RhoA, is a monomeric Rho GTPase that regulates multiple pathways to collectively contribute to cell wall biogenesis. More than fifteen upstream regulators and downstream effectors have been characterized to mediate Rho1 signaling. A genome wide screen was previously conducted in our lab to identify novel regulators of chitin synthase 3 (Chs3) trafficking by measuring the level of chitin at the cell surface. Rho1 signaling has been implicated in the expression and post translational trafficking of Chs3 via the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway. Not surprisingly, the top hits from the screen included known regulators of the CWI pathway. The screen also uncovered a new component of the CWI pathway, the putative ORF ADC2. Adc2 was physically associated with the RhoGEF Tus1, but not Rom2. It contributed to the localization of Tus1 at the bud neck. Adc2 was also functionally associated with Tus1 in regulating Rho1 signaling. The function of Tus1, but not Rom2, appeared to be dependent on Adc2. Overall, this study identified Adc2 as a novel regulator of Rho1 signaling. Understanding its specific affinity for Tus1 but not Rom2 may offer insights into the signaling specificity of Rho1. The discovery of Adc2 also raises awareness that additional accessory proteins may be associated with Rho signaling not only in yeast but in humans as well.

description: Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common neurologic disorders. Aside from underlying susceptibility genes, recent studies have also begun to focus on environmental toxic factors. Yet there remains a paucity of information on such factors, making studies of environmental factors important. A recent study in New York City found blood lead concentrations to be elevated in ET cases compared with matched controls. Chronic exposure to lead produces cerebellar damage, and this could predispose individuals to develop ET.

description: We consider the situation when a globally defined four-dimensional field system is separated on two entangled sub-systems by a dynamical (random) two-dimensional surface. The reduced density matrix averaged over ensemble of random surfaces of fixed area and the corresponding average entropy are introduced. The average entanglement entropy is analyzed for a generic conformal field theory in four dimensions. Two important particular cases are considered. In the first, both the intrinsic metric on the entangling surface and the spacetime metric are fluctuating. An important example of this type is when the entangling surface is a black hole horizon, the fluctuations of which cause necessarily the fluctuations in the spacetime geometry. In the second case, the spacetime is considered to be fixed. The detail analysis is carried out for the random entangling surfaces embedded in flat Minkowski spacetime. In all cases the problem reduces to an effectively two-dimensional problem of random surfaces which can be treated by means of the well-known conformal methods. Focusing on the logarithmic terms in the entropy we predict the appearance of a new $\ln\ln(A)$ term.

description: Exposure of adult humans to manganese (Mn) has long been known to cause neurotoxicity. Recent evidence also suggests that exposure of children to Mn is associated with developmental neurotoxicity. Astrocytes are critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system, and they play active roles in neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and synaptic neurotransmission. In this report, to help elucidate the molecular events underlying Mn neurotoxicity, we systematically identified the molecular targets of Mn in primary human astrocytes at a genome-wide level, by using microarray gene expression profiling and computational data analysis algorithms. We found that Mn altered the expression of diverse genes ranging from those encoding cytokines and transporters to signal transducers and transcriptional regulators. Particularly, 28 genes encoding proinflammatory chemokines, cytokines and related functions were up-regulated, whereas 15 genes encoding functions involved in DNA replication and repair and cell cycle checkpoint control were down-regulated. Consistent with the increased expression of proinflammatory factors, analysis of common regulators revealed that 16 targets known to be positively affected by the interferon-Î³ signaling pathway were up-regulated by Mn2+. In addition, 68 genes were found to be similarly up- or down-regulated by both Mn2+ and hypoxia. These results from genomic analysis are further supported by data from real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometric and toxicological analyses. Together, these analyses show that Mn2+ selectively affects cell cycle progression, the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes, and the expression of proinflammatory factors in primary human astrocytes. These results provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying Mn neurotoxicity.

description: Maternal infection during pregnancy with a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses is associated with increased risk for schizophrenia and autism in their offspring. A common feature in these exposures is that virus replication induces innate immunity through interaction with Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We employed a mouse model wherein pregnant mice were exposed to polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I â‹… C)], a synthetic, double-stranded RNA molecular mimic of replicating virus. Poly(I â‹… C) inhibited embryonic neuronal stem cell replication and population of the superficial layers of the neocortex by neurons. Poly(I â‹… C) also led to impaired neonatal locomotor development and abnormal sensorimotor gating responses in adult offspring. Using Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-deficient mice, we established that these effects were dependent on TLR3. Inhibition of stem cell proliferation was also abrogated by pretreatment with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) carprofen, a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. Our findings provide insights into mechanisms by which maternal infection can induce subtle neuropathology and behavioral dysfunction, and they may suggest strategies for reducing the risk of neuropsychiatric disorders subsequent to prenatal exposures to pathogens and other triggers of innate immunity.

description: In this note we study Shannon capacity of channels in the context of classical Ramsey numbers. We overview some of the results on capacity of noisy channels modelled by graphs, and how some constructions may contribute to our knowledge of this capacity. We present an improvement to the constructions by Abbott and Song and thus establish new lower bounds for a special type of multicolor Ramsey numbers. We prove that our construction implies that the supremum of the Shannon capacity over all graphs with independence number 2 cannot be achieved by any finite graph power. This can be generalized to graphs with any bounded independence number.

description: In a population-based sample, we determined whether a larger proportion of essential tremor (ET) cases reported hearing impairment compared with controls. Ninety-six (38.7%) of 248 ET cases versus 1,371 (29.4%) of 4,669 controls (p = 0.002) reported hearing impairment. In a logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, educational level, depressive symptoms, and dementia, participants who reported hearing impairment were 30% more likely to suffer from ET than were controls (odds ratio 1.3; 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.7; p = 0.04). ET seemed to be associated with reported hearing impairment. The basis for this finding, which has been noted in several studies, deserves further exploration.

description: Traditional geometry employs idealized concepts like that of a point or a curve, the operational definition of which relies on the availability of classical point particles as probes. Real, physical objects are quantum in nature though, leading us to consider the implications of using realistic probes in defining an effective spacetime geometry. As an example, we consider de Sitter spacetime and employ the centroid of various composite probes to obtain its effective sectional curvature, which is found to depend on the probe's internal energy, spatial extension, and spin. Possible refinements of our approach are pointed out and remarks are made on the relevance of our results to the quest for a quantum theory of gravity.

By applying a fluctuation-exchange approximation to the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model, we show that the FS is largely modified by strong charge fluctuations when the wave number of the CO pattern does not match the nesting vector of the FS in a noninteracting system. We also discuss the enhanced anisotropy in quasiparticle properties in the resultant metallic state.

description: Objective:  To determine whether plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration is associated with mild parkinsonian signs (MPS) in community-dwelling elderly individuals. Design:  Cross-sectional analyses of a population-based cohort study. Setting:  Washington Heights–Inwood, New York. Patients:  Persons without dementia 65 years and older. Main Outcome: Measure Participants underwent an abbreviated motor portion of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. Each participant was assigned an MPS score (range, 0-40). The Hcy concentration was measured from plasma. All analyses were cross-sectional. Results:  There were 369 participants (mean ± SD age, 77.8 ± 6.0 years; mean ± SD MPS score, 1.51 ± 2.55; mean ± SD plasma Hcy concentration, 17.3 ± 6.5 μmol/L). Mean ± SD MPS scores in plasma Hcy concentration quintiles were as follows: lowest quintile, 1.15 ± 1.77; second quintile, 1.18 ± 1.88; third quintile, 1.64 ± 2.93; fourth quintile, 1.45 ± 2.17; and highest quintile, 2.12 ± 3.49 (84.3% higher than 1.15) (P = .02). In an unadjusted linear regression model, plasma Hcy concentration was associated with log MPS score (dependent variable) (P = .008). In a linear regression model that adjusted for confounding variables, plasma Hcy concentration was associated with log MPS score (P = .04). Conclusions:  These data indicate that MPS are associated with higher plasma Hcy concentrations. Prospective neuroimaging as well as clinical-pathological studies would further our understanding of several mechanisms that could underlie the observed association.

description: Hydrodynamics is known to describe matter created in high energy heavy ion collisions well. Large deposition of energy by passing jets should create not only the sound waves, already discussed in literature, but also the shocks waves of finite amplitude. This paper is an introduction to relativistic shocks, which go through elementary energy and momentum continuity argument, to weak shocks treated in Navier-Stokes approximation, to out-of-equilibrium setting of AdS/CFT. While we have not yet found numerical solution to corresponding Einstein equations, we have found a variational approximation to the sum of their squares. Our general conclusion is that deviations from LS and NS hydrodynmical shock profiles are surprisingly small, even for strong shocks. We end with a list of open questions which the exact solution should be able to answer.
description: Current version 2 has changed the basic numerical example of the strong shock, to somewhat stronger one. More details are provided on gradient expansion, as well as on individual components of the Einstein tensor and the total sum of squares.

description: Quarks produced in the early stage of non-central heavy-ion collisions could develop a global spin polarization along the opposite direction of the reaction plane due to the spin-orbital coupling via parton interaction in a medium that has finite longitudinal flow shear along the direction of the impact parameter. We study how such polarization evolves via multiple scattering in a viscous quark-gluon plasma with an initial laminar flow. The final polarization is found to be sensitive to the viscosity and the initial shear of local longitudinal flow.

description: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) mariculture has been associated with epidemics of infectious diseases that threaten not only local production, but also wild fish coming into close proximity to marine pens and fish escaping from them. Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) is a frequently fatal disease of farmed Atlantic salmon. First recognized in one farm in Norway in 1999, HSMI was subsequently implicated in outbreaks in other farms in Norway and the United Kingdom. Although pathology and disease transmission studies indicated an infectious basis, efforts to identify an agent were unsuccessful. Here we provide evidence that HSMI is associated with infection with piscine reovirus (PRV). PRV is a novel reovirus identified by unbiased high throughput DNA sequencing and a bioinformatics program focused on nucleotide frequency as well as sequence alignment and motif analyses. Formal implication of PRV in HSMI will require isolation in cell culture and fulfillment of Koch's postulates, or prevention or modification of disease through use of specific drugs or vaccines. Nonetheless, as our data indicate that a causal relationship is plausible, measures must be taken to control PRV not only because it threatens domestic salmon production but also due to the potential for transmission to wild salmon populations.

A dosimetric study of kilovoltage cone beam CT image guidance in gynaecological radiation therapy
Creators: name: Qiu, Yue
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Cone beam CT (CBCT) is increasingly used in image guided radiation therapy in order to ensure more accurate patient setup and target localization. However, the issue of patient dose due to repeated imaging procedures is an important topic in radiation medicine today. This thesis rigorously explores the organ equivalent doses from kilo-voltage cone beam CT to provide useful data to clinicians for decision making in image protocol development. This work specifically focuses on gynaecological patients undergoing megavoltage radiation therapy using IMRT or RapidArc. A method is established for Monte Carlo simulation of dose distributions from kV CBCT using BEAMnrc/DOSXYZnrc, for an on-board imaging system mounted on a Varian linac. Careful benchmarking was performed to permit further investigation into patient specific dose. In order to account for different biological effects of kV and MV radiation, the investigation focused on equivalent dose, the product of dose and radiation quality factor. Dose mean lineal energy was used to determine beam quality, as opposed to using linear energy transfer, based on microdosimetric principles. Dose mean lineal energy was simulated with a C++ code and the Monte Carlo code NOREC. Quality factor was calculated based on lineal energy by a formula proposed by International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU). Higher relative biological effectiveness of kV CBCT beams compared with MV therapeutic beams was quantified. Finally, the Monte Carlo methods for kV CBCT dose simulation were combined with derived quality factors in a study of organ equivalent dose for gynaecological cancer patients. Using three different dose response models, organ equivalent doses for daily kV CBCT were compared with MV IMRT/RapidArc doses to assess whether patients are at increased risk of radiation induced secondary malignancy due to CBCT. Comprehensive dosimetric information presented in this thesis indicates that patients undergoing IMRT or RapidAcr treatments with daily kV CBCT are not subjected to additional risk due to CBCT imaging dose.

description: Encephalitis is a major cause of death worldwide. Although >100 pathogens have been identified as causative agents, the pathogen is not determined for up to 75% of cases. This diagnostic failure impedes effective treatment and underscores the need for better tools and new approaches for detecting novel pathogens or determining new manifestations of known pathogens. Although astroviruses are commonly associated with gastroenteritis, they have not been associated with central nervous system disease. Using unbiased pyrosequencing, we detected an astrovirus as the causative agent for encephalitis in a 15-year-old boy with agammaglobulinemia; several laboratories had failed to identify the agent. Our findings expand the spectrum of causative agents associated with encephalitis and highlight unbiased molecular technology as a valuable tool for differential diagnosis of unexplained disease.

description: In this paper we consider the problem of transmitting a continuous alphabet discrete-time source over an AWGN channel. The design of good curves for this purpose relies on geometrical properties of spherical codes and projections of $N$-dimensional lattices. We propose a constructive scheme based on a set of curves on the surface of a 2N-dimensional sphere and present comparisons with some previous works.

description: We present the program SecDec 2.0 which contains various new features: First, it allows the numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals with no restriction on the kinematics. Dimensionally regulated ultraviolet and infrared singularities are isolated via sector decomposition, while threshold singularities are handled by a deformation of the integration contour in the complex plane. As an application we present numerical results for various massive two-loop four-point diagrams. SecDec 2.0 also contains new useful features for the calculation of more general parameter integrals, related e.g. to phase space integrals.

Medical nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Unrelieved pain is one of the most common complaints by medical patients and can greatly affect their health outcomes and quality of life. Medical patients account for a large portion of hospitalized older patients and pain is widespread among this population. Nurses spend the most time with patients and are well placed to assess and effectively manage the patient’s pain, however nurses’ poor knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management can significantly hindered patients’ pain management outcomes. This study explored nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management on the medical units in a hospital located in Vancouver, BC. There were 75 nurses who completed the “Pain Questionnaire.” The study revealed moderate (69.04%) knowledge and attitudes about pain management from the knowledge and attitudes survey regarding pain. Registered nurses and bachelors prepared nurses were found to have statistically significant higher pain knowledge levels and attitudes. Knowledge deficits were found in the areas of underestimation of pain, pharmacology, addiction, withdrawal, substance abuse, and cancer related pain. Nurses have been shown to attribute less pain to patients suffering from chronic conditions than to those suffering from acute conditions. Pain associated with diabetes and renal diseases, chronic conditions often found in aging adults, were viewed the most negatively. A focus on changing the culture of care, and towards evolving the nursing practice to one of more accountability for pain management, will enhance nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding pain, and most importantly will reduce patient pain and improve quality of care.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

description: In this article are computed magnetic solutions of Einstein Maxwell Chern-Simons theory coupled to a dilaton-like scalar field. These solutions are computed by applying a space-time duality suggested by the author to known electric solutions of the same theory. As a redundancy check for the space-time duality it is explicitly shown that the magnetic configurations obtained are, as expected, solutions of the equations of motion. The magnetic configurations have metric determinant $\sqrt{-g}\sim r^p$ for the range of the parameter $p\in]-\infty,+\infty[/\{-1\}$ and are interpreted either as magnetic string-like configurations, configurations driven by an externally applied magnetic field or cosmological-like solutions with background magnetic fields.

West Nile virus

description: No specific vaccine for West Nile virus (WNV) is currently available for human use. In the present study, we describe the generation of WNV-like particles (WNV-LPs) in insect cells by use of recombinant baculoviruses expressing the WNV structural proteins prME or CprME. BALB/c mice immunized with purified WNV-LPs developed WNV-specific antibodies that had potent neutralizing activities. Mice immunized with prME-like particles (prME-LPs) showed no morbidity or mortality after challenge with WNV. Immunization with prMELPs can induce sterilizing immunity without producing any evidence of viremia or viral RNA in the spleen or brain. These results suggest that WNV-LPs hold promise as a vaccine candidate for WNV infection.
