description: We report measurements of the phonon density of states as measured with inelastic x-ray scattering in SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ powders. An unexpected strong renormalization of phonon branches around 23 meV is observed as fluorine is substituted for oxygen. Phonon dispersion measurements on SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ single crystals allow us to identify the 21 meV A$_{1g}$ in-phase (Sm,As) and the 26 meV B$_{1g}$ (Fe,O) modes to be responsible for this renormalization, and may reveal unusual electron-phonon coupling through the spin channel in iron-based superconductors.

The peevish wish
Creators: name: Cowell, Isaac Bainbridge
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation traces British Romantic literature’s deep moral investment in the unjustified or aimless idea. That investment materializes as conjecture, which offers a means of expressing an idea without yet making a claim for what the idea ultimately signifies. Conjecture, therefore, is the form that thought takes when it aims beyond what it knows that it can presently justify as content.The project traces conjecture from the Enlightenment texts of Adam Smith, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant to the poems, novels and plays of Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Walter Scott, William Wordsworth, and Mary and Percy Shelley. In these writers, conjecture unsettles narratives whose outcomes had seemed fixed and worlds that had appeared closed. As a narrative mode, conjecture acts as a placeholder for thoughts that have not yet found their final guiding idea or their final frame of reference. In some cases, conjecture takes the form of an unresolved question: narrators and characters are left gesturing at the place where an answer should go, but without thereby claiming to actually have found an answer. In other cases, conjecture takes the reverse form: the answer is there, but without the question that would make the answer meaningful. The idea lacks its frame of reference. In either case, an idea persists in the subject’s mind even when it is not yet—or is no longer—a live possibility for him or her.The idealism in conjecture looks like simply being out of touch with reality. Kant, for example, talks about “the peevish wish … one that nothing satisfies.” Peevishness is usually considered a disengagement from others—something merely contrarian. However, one can appear contrarian precisely because one hasn’t disengaged from others; because one hasn’t silenced oneself. Conjecture keeps its thought alive in the faith that the idea does matter and that it does merit engagement, even when one can’t yet explain why.In conjectural literature, thoughts that feel idle, provisional, or incomplete turn out to reflect deep moral investments in ideas that cannot yet be fully articulated or justified. Such thoughts frustrate one’s current understanding and thus take one outside of oneself. In these texts, as a result, the moral imagination remains collectively shared; the thoughts that appear most solipsistic at the time turn out never to have been properly one’s own to begin with. For the present, however, conjecture leaves its subject in a position of darkness and doubt. And when it does, characters and narrators see how their own doubts might eventually contribute to the better moral understanding of others—even if they themselves will never share in that understanding. The peevish wish ultimately seeks a transformed world, not for oneself, but for others.
Classical Signal Model for Quantum Channels

description: Recently it was shown that the main distinguishing features of quantum mechanics (QM) can be reproduced by a model based on classical random fields, so called prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT). This model provides a possibility to represent averages of quantum observables, including correlations of observables on subsystems of a composite system (e.g., entangled systems), as averages with respect to fluctuations of classical (Gaussian) random fields. In this note we consider some consequences of PCSFT for quantum information theory. They are based on the observation \cite{W} of two authors of this paper that classical Gaussian channels (important in classical signal theory) can be represented as quantum channels. Now we show that quantum channels can be represented as classical linear transformations of classical Gaussian signal

On a microcanonical relation between continuous and discrete spin models

description: A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of a Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical density of states. Based on this approximation we conjecture that if a O(n) model with ferromagnetic interactions on a lattice has a phase transition, its critical energy density is equal to that of the n = 1 case, i.e., a system of Ising spins with the same interactions. The conjecture holds true in the case of long-range interactions. For nearest-neighbor interactions, numerical results are consistent with the conjecture for n=2 and n=3 in three dimensions. For n=2 in two dimensions (XY model) the conjecture yields a prediction for the critical energy of the Berezinskij-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, which would be equal to that of the two-dimensional Ising model. We discuss available numerical data in this respect.

Novel in vitro methods for the discovery of functional T-cell receptor epitopes from large peptide-coding libraries
Creators: name: Sharma, Govinda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Though it is understood that T-cells are a critical component of the immune system’s ability to destroy foreign invaders and attack cancerous cells, very little is known regarding the specific epitopes that are recognized by T-cells to carry out these functions. Generally, the epitopes mediating this immunity are short, contiguous peptides derived from antigenic proteins presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules for inspection by T-cells. The ability to rapidly and deeply search peptide space to determine specific peptide epitopes that are naturally processed, presented, and capable of eliciting functional T-cell responses is a critical unmet need in the study of adaptive immunity. Here, I describe a novel method for deep T-cell epitope profiling that enables simultaneous in vitro interrogation of target cell populations encoding high-diversity minigene libraries with T-cell populations-of-interest. Targets eliciting T-cell reactivity are selectively isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and identified by deep amplicon sequencing. The approach was extensively validated using known murine T-cell receptor (TCR)/peptide-MHC pairs and it was shown that this method can unambiguously identify canonical minigenes from libraries of vastly more candidate antigens in parallel than would be feasibly tractable using conventional methods. The capability of this strategy was extended by applying a synthetic biology approach. Using pairs of immortalized natural killer (NK)-like effector cell lines and naturally tolerated target cell lines, I showed that fully reconstituting the TCR/CD3 complex in effectors and expressing relevant MHC-/minigene-coding sequences in targets is sufficient to re-direct the cytotoxicity of NK-like cell lines towards antigenic targets of recombinant TCR. These results provide indication that it should be possible to use an entirely synthetic framework for functionally screening recombinant TCR-of-interest against minigene libraries without the requirement to first isolate and expand primary T-cell clones or donor-derived antigen-presenting cells. The high-throughput T-cell antigen profiling methods described and validated in this thesis could allow investigators to generate TCR epitope data broader in scope than previously possible to better understand basic T-cell biology, develop better predictive models of T-cell reactivity, and rationally design T-cell-based immunotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer, infectious disease, and autoimmunity.

description: The systemic velocity or redshift of galaxies is a convenient tool to calculate their distances in the absence of primary methods, but the uncertainties on these flow distances may be substantial due to galaxy peculiar motions. Here, we derived a simple and easily applicable method to assign uncertainties to flow distances from four different methodologies, namely the Hubble law with both heliocentric and local-sheet velocities, the Cosmicflows-4 model, and the numerical action methods model. Our uncertainty scheme was constructed by comparing these flow distances to accurate, redshift-independent distances of a subsample of ~2000 galaxies from the Cosmicflows-4 database, using the tip magnitude of the red giant branch, Cepheids, surface brightness fluctuations, supernovae type Ia, masers, and supernovae type II. We provide simple functions and tables to calculate the distance uncertainties for all the flow models considered. This uncertainty scheme is generally applicable except for the region around the Virgo cluster, where we assign increased uncertainties due to larger peculiar motions.

Multiway Spectral Clustering: A Margin-Based Perspective

description: Spectral clustering is a broad class of clustering procedures in which an intractable combinatorial optimization formulation of clustering is "relaxed" into a tractable eigenvector problem, and in which the relaxed solution is subsequently "rounded" into an approximate discrete solution to the original problem. In this paper we present a novel margin-based perspective on multiway spectral clustering. We show that the margin-based perspective illuminates both the relaxation and rounding aspects of spectral clustering, providing a unified analysis of existing algorithms and guiding the design of new algorithms. We also present connections between spectral clustering and several other topics in statistics, specifically minimum-variance clustering, Procrustes analysis and Gaussian intrinsic autoregression.

description: We study the conditional distribution of zeros of a Gaussian system of random polynomials (and more generally, holomorphic sections), given that the polynomials or sections vanish at a point p (or a fixed finite set of points). The conditional distribution is analogous to the pair correlation function of zeros, but we show that it has quite a different small distance behavior. In particular, the conditional distribution does not exhibit repulsion of zeros in dimension one. To prove this, we give universal scaling asymptotics for the conditional zero distribution around p. The key tool is the conditional Szego kernel and its scaling asymptotics.

description: Sport has been an important aspect of human endeavour since ancient times and has always been intertwined with social values and growth. However, it has also been observed that sports have repeatedly been used throughout history to embellish the actions of regimes, such as the Nazi Berlin 1936 Olympics, which are considered by some to be the first example of what is now called ‘sportswashing’. The aim of this paper is to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of the phenomenon of sportswashing focusing on the following aspects: definitions and related terms, historical overview, legacy and ways of mitigation. Through the examination of academic and grey literature on the topic, it is concluded that, despite the overlap between sportswashing and soft power, a key differentiator is the existence of questionable moral practices in the former. Moreover, the historical overview of the phenomenon highlights that although the term was coined recently, the phenomenon is by no means new. Lastly, negative consequences of sportswashing include manipulation of information, which in turn allows for distraction from, minimisation or normalisation of unethical practices. Sportswashing can be combated through the introduction of a concrete framework that makes respect for human rights and other ethical requirements a prerequisite for any kind of engagement within the world of sport.

The targum (1882:Mar. 10 - 1882:Mar. 31)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1882

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
A novel CRISPR/RNA-aptamer-mediated base editing system with potential therapeutic value
Creators: name: Collantes, Juan Carlos
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Nuclease-dependent precise genome editing such as correction of point mutations requires introduction of targeted DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and activation of homology dependent repair (HDR), limiting its application to proliferating cells. To expand GE capabilities for therapeutic use in non-dividing somatic cells it is necessary to precisely modify nucleotides avoiding DSBs. Recently, Cas9-cytidine deaminase fusions, also known as based editors (BE), were shown to precisely modify target bases at certain genomic loci. To expand the base editing toolbox, we sought to engineer a novel base editing system based on RNA-aptamer mediated recruitment. To this end, we engineered a nuclease-deficient CRISPR/Cas9 system as a recruitment platform for non-nuclease DNA/RNA editing enzymes that catalyze C·G→T·A conversions by cytidine deamination. Targeted nucleotide modification was achieved with high precision in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In bacteria, we tested our system targeting the rifampicin resistance determining region of the rpoB gene. Survival in rifampicin reached over 1000-fold higher than untreated cells. To examine whether the system can correct loss of function mutations in human genome, we treated a stably integrated non-fluorescent EGFP gene containing an A·T→G·C mutation on the chromophore sequence. Fluorescence was efficiently restored in treated cells, detecting around 10% of GFP positive cells after treatment. Next generation sequencing confirmed a G·C→A·T conversion in 60% of reads at the target position, restoring the wild type sequence, with low by-stander effect. Exome-wide sequence analysis revealed no detectable off-target effects. Targeting of endogenous loci also resulted in highly efficient nucleotide conversion at the desired C positions. We also show that our system can destroy the 3’ splice acceptor site of intron 50 in human DMD gene, potentially inducing exon 51 skipping, providing evidence of a therapeutic application to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Taken together, the data show that our GE system represents a safe and promising technology for editing specific nucleotides, correcting genetic mutations or other clinically relevant applications, independent of DSB and HDR, with potential therapeutic value in non-dividing cells.
Entanglement Entropy Fluctuations in Quantum Ising Chains

description: The Ising chains in a transverse magnetic field of constant strength (h=1) and with the spin interaction value λare considered. In the case of infinitely long chain, exact analytical expressions are found for the second central moment (dispersion) of the entropy operator S^\hat=-lnρwith reduced density matrix ρwhich corresponds to a semi-infinite part of the model in the ground state. It is shown that in the vicinity of a critical point λ_c=1, the entanglement entropy fluctuation ΔS (square root of dispersion) diverges as \Delts S\sim[ln(1/|1-λ|)]^{1/2}. Taking into account the known behavior of the entanglement entropy S, this leads to that the value of relative entanglement fluctuation δS=(ΔS)/S vanishes at the critical point, i.e. in fact a state with nonfluctuating entanglement is realized.

description: Photothermal microscopy has recently complemented single molecule fluorescence microscopy by the detection of individual nano-objects in absorption. Photothermal techniques gain their superior sensitivity by exploiting a heat induced refractive index change around the absorbing nano-object. Numerous new applications to nanoparticles, nanorods and even single molecules have been reported all refering to the fact that photothermal microscopy is an extinction measurement on a heat induced refractive index profile. Here, we show that the actual physical mechanism generating a photothermal signal from a single molecule/particle is fundamentally different from the assumed extinction measurement. Combining photothermal microscopy, light scattering microscopy as well as accurate Mie scattering calculations to single gold nanoparticles, we reveal that the detection mechanism is quantitatively explained by a nanolensing effect of the long range refractive index profile. Our results lay the foundation for future developments and quantitative applications of single molecule absorption microscopy.

In this dissertation, to further advance nanomaterials-based medical applications, multidimensional hybrid nanomaterials were developed by addressing the critical challenges of current nanotherapeutics. For cancer treatment, 0D-2D hybrid nanomaterials were synthesized and applied for the photothermal therapy-based cancer ablation by combining the surface property of 2D nanomaterials and the optical properties of plasmonic and carbon nanomaterial. To address the slow- or non-biodegradability of 2D carbon nanomaterials, 3D nanoscaffolds assembled from MnO2-based 2D nanomaterials were designed and synthesized for stem cell therapy. By further developing a 1D-2D hybrid nanostructure, highly sensitive biosensing platform was also fabricated using graphene and gold nanoarrays. Lastly, a method to high throughput print 0D, 1D and 2D nanostructures in a single platform was developed for providing quantitative design principles of nanomaterials-based medical applications. Collectively, by showcasing the design and synthesis of multidimensional nanomaterials for theragnostic applications, this dissertation is aimed to provide useful insights for the next generation precision and personalized medicine based on hybrid nanomaterials.

description: Supersaturated design (SSD) has received much recent interest because of its potential in factor screening experiments. In this paper, we provide equivalent conditions for two columns to be fully aliased and consequently propose methods for constructing $E(f_{\mathrm{NOD}})$- and $χ^2$-optimal mixed-level SSDs without fully aliased columns, via equidistant designs and difference matrices. The methods can be easily performed and many new optimal mixed-level SSDs have been obtained. Furthermore, it is proved that the nonorthogonality between columns of the resulting design is well controlled by the source designs. A rather complete list of newly generated optimal mixed-level SSDs are tabulated for practical use.

description: We consider the Gaussian correlation inequality for nonsymmetric convex sets. More precisely, if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is convex and the origin $0\in A$, then for any ball $B$ centered at the origin, it holds $γ_d(A\cap B)\geq γ_d(A)γ_d(B)$, where $γ_d$ is the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. This generalizes Proposition 1 in [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 161 (2002), 257--269].

description: For N=1 supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives, a method for summation of all Feynman diagrams defining the beta-function is presented. Using this method we prove that the beta-function is given by an integral of a total derivative, which can be easily calculated. It is shown that surviving terms give the exact NSVZ beta-function. The results are compared with the explicit three-loop calculation.

Testing Skyrme energy-density functionals with the QRPA in low-lying vibrational states of rare-earth nuclei

description: Although nuclear energy density functionals are determined primarily by fitting to ground state properties, they are often applied in nuclear astrophysics to excited states, usually through the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA). Here we test the Skyrme functionals SkM* and SLy4 along with the self-consistent QRPA by calculating properties of low-lying vibrational states in a large number of well-deformed even-even rare-earth nuclei. We reproduce trends in energies and transition probabilities associated with gamma-vibrational states, but our results are not perfect and indicate the presences of multi-particle-hole correlations that are not included in the QRPA. The Skyrme functional SkM* performs noticeably better than SLy4. In a few nuclei, changes in the treatment of the pairing energy functional have a significant effect. The QRPA is less successful with "beta-vibrational" states than with the gamma-vibrational states.

description: The thermal stability of graphene/graphane nanoribbons (GGNRs) is investigated using density functional theory. It is found that the energy barriers for the diffusion of hydrogen atoms on the zigzag and armchair interfaces of GGNRs are 2.86 and 3.17 eV, respectively, while the diffusion barrier of an isolated H atom on pristine graphene was only ~0.3 eV. These results unambiguously demonstrate that the thermal stability of GGNRs can be enhanced significantly by increasing the hydrogen diffusion barriers through graphene/graphane interface engineering. This may provide new insights for viable applications of GGNRs.

Polar perturbations in Kantowski-Sachs spacetimes and hybrid quantum cosmology

description: Increasing attention has been recently devoted to the study of Kantowski-Sachs spacetime as a way to explore the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole. In this work, we construct a Hamiltonian formulation for polar perturbations of this spacetime in the presence of a perturbative massless scalar field. Our analysis is based on a truncated action at quadratic order in perturbations. Both background and perturbative degrees of freedom are treated dynamically, forming a combined system that is endowed with the canonical structure obtained from our truncated action. First-order perturbations of the metric and the matter field are described using perturbative gauge invariants, linear perturbative constraints, and their corresponding canonical variables. For the quantum description, we adopt a hybrid approach where the background is quantized with loop quantum gravity techniques and the perturbations with conventional quantum field methods.

Handling Covariates in the Design of Clinical Trials

Year: 2011

description: There has been a split in the statistics community about the need for taking covariates into account in the design phase of a clinical trial. There are many advocates of using stratification and covariate-adaptive randomization to promote balance on certain known covariates. However, balance does not always promote efficiency or ensure more patients are assigned to the better treatment. We describe these procedures, including model-based procedures, for incorporating covariates into the design of clinical trials, and give examples where balance, efficiency and ethical considerations may be in conflict. We advocate a new class of procedures, covariate-adjusted response-adaptive (CARA) randomization procedures that attempt to optimize both efficiency and ethical considerations, while maintaining randomization. We review all these procedures, present a few new simulation studies, and conclude with our philosophy.
