description: In aqueous solutions, dissolved ions interact strongly with the surrounding water, thereby modifying the solution properties in an ion-specific manner. These ion-hydration interactions can be accounted for theoretically on a mean-field level by including phenomenological terms in the free energy that correspond to the most dominant ion-specific interactions. Minimizing this free energy leads to modified Poisson-Boltzmann equations with appropriate boundary conditions. Here, we review how this strategy has been used to predict some of the ways ion-specific effects can modify the forces acting within and between charged interfaces immersed in salt solutions.

Regulation of mucosal T cell responses by intestinal helminths and retinoic acid metabolism
Creators: name: Chenery, Alistair Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Mucosal immune diseases such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease are associated with major environmental factors - diet, geography, hygiene, infections - that contribute to disease risk. The mucosal immune system is in direct contact with the external environment and must balance protective immune responses with tolerance to innocuous antigens. Since chronic inflammation at mucosal sites depends on a diverse set of T cell-driven responses, understanding the factors that regulate mucosal T cell differentiation and function is key to developing better treatments to a variety of inflammatory diseases. Further, immunological cross-talk can occur between mucosal organs such as the intestine and the lung, but the role of T cells in this cross-talk is poorly defined. The work herein investigates the effect of external factors, specifically intestinal infections and dietary immunomodulators, on mucosal T cell responses in the context of inflammation in the intestine and the lungs. Using a mouse model of infection with the intestinal helminth Trichuris muris, I show infection-mediated alterations in the lung microenvironment that can protect against murine models of allergic airway inflammation. I further show that intestinal T. muris infection has a systemic effect on hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. In other studies, I examine the role of the dietary vitamin A metabolite, retinoic acid, on T cell function during intestinal inflammation. Specifically, I investigate how metabolism of retinoic acid by the enzyme Cyp26b1 modulates T cell differentiation and function and show that Cyp26b1 controls regulatory T cell and T helper 17 differentiation in vitro. Further, I posit a role of Cyp26b1 in regulating effector T cell function in vivo using a murine model of T cell-driven inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, the results presented here provide further insight into helminth-mediated immune regulation, intestine-to-lung mucosal immune crosstalk, and dietary immunomodulation that regulate mucosal T cell responses.

Distribution Functions of Sizes and Fluxes Determined from Supra-Arcade Downflows
Creators: name: McKenzie, David E.

Year: 2011

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The frequency distributions of sizes and fluxes of supra-arcade downflows (SADs) provide information about the process of their creation. For example, a fractal creation process may be expected to yield a power-law distribution of sizes and/or fluxes. We examine 120 cross-sectional areas and magnetic flux estimates found by Savage & McKenzie for SADs, and find that (1) the areas are consistent with a log-normal distribution and (2) the fluxes are consistent with both a log-normal and an exponential distribution. Neither set of measurements is compatible with a power-law distribution nor a normal distribution. As a demonstration of the applicability of these findings to improved understanding of reconnection, we consider a simple SAD growth scenario with minimal assumptions, capable of producing a log-normal distribution.

description: We carried out high-pressure resistivity and Hall-effect measurements in single crystals of CdTe and ZnTe up to 12 GPa. Slight changes of transport parameters in the zincblende phase of CdTe are consitent with the shallow character of donor impurities. Drastic changes in all the transport parameters of CdTe were found around 4 GPa, i.e. close to the onset of the cinnabar to rock-salt transition. In particular, the carrier concentration increases by more than five orders of magnitude. Additionally, an abrupt decrease of the resistivity was detected around 10 GPa. These results are discussed in comparison with optical, thermoelectric, and x-ray diffraction experiments. The metallic character of the Cmcm phase of CdTe is confirmed and a semi-metallic character is determined for the rock-salt phase. In zincblende ZnTe, the increase of the hole concentration by more than two orders of magnitude is proposed to be due to a deep-to-shallow transformation of the acceptor levels. Between 9 and 11 GPa, transport parameters are consistent with the semiconducting character of cinnabar ZnTe. A two orders of magnitude decrease of the resistivity and a carrier-type inversion occurs at 11 GPa, in agreement with the onset of the transition to the Cmcm phase of ZnTe. A metallic character for this phase is deduced.

A GIS-based analysis of the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Alonazy, Mamdooh A.

Year: 2019

description: This research investigates type 2 diabet type 2 diabeteses (T2D) and its risk factors, analyzes its prevalence and progression and identifies which risk factors affect different regions of Saudi Arabia by utilizing the 2013 Saudi Health Interview Survey. Our findings showed a high prevalence of T2D in Saudi Arabia (11.5%), with the highest in Hail and Aseer at 16.9% and 15.3%, respectively. On the other hand, Eastern had the lowest at 7.9%. Overall, we found that age and BMI were the most effective predictors. Age was the most effective, impacting all thirteen regions. The group aged 65 years and older had the highest risk; the 45- to 64-year-old age group, however, had the highest number of diagnoses. Al-Madinah had the highest prevalence of T2D in this age group at 56.9%. The 15- to 44-year-old group had the highest risk in Aseer at 4.8%. In Northern Borders, the odds ratio was the highest for the 65 plus age group, at 59.15. BMI was an effective predictor of T2D in nine regions. In Eastern, the odds ratio for the obese group was 4.3 compared to people of normal weight. In Al-Jouf, obese women had the highest percentage of T2D at 44.44% of cases.Work status was an important risk factor in Tabuk, Eastern, Al-Jouf, and Aseer. The retired group had the highest prevalence in these regions, except for Aseer where the employed group had the highest risk; retired people in Aseer are still involved in farm work, which may contribute to fewer T2D cases. Smoking status was an effective predictor in Hail, Al-Qassim, Riyadh, and Makkah. Ex-smokers had the highest incidence of T2D. Marital status was an effective predictor for Hail, Al-Qassim, and Riyadh. The divorced group had the highest prevalence of T2D. Education was an effective predictor for Riyadh and Aseer; the illiterate group had the highest risk. Diet was a good predictor only in Aseer. Shisha and hookah use were effective predictors in Riyadh. Understanding this data can help lower the prevalence of diabetes, provide better diabetes care, and lower healthcare costs for the Ministry of Health.

description: We present a new derivation of the CORS Baade-Wesselink method in the Walraven photometric system. We solved the complete Baade-Wesselink equation by calibrating the surface brightness function with a recent grid of atmosphere models. The new approach was adopted to estimate the mean radii of a sample of Galactic Cepheids for which are available precise light curves in the Walraven bands. Current radii agree, within the errors, quite well with Cepheid radii based on recent optical and near-infrared interferometric measurements. We also tested the impact of the projection factor on the Period-Radius relation using two different values (p=1.36, p=1.27) that bracket the estimates available in the literature. We found that the agreement of our Period-Radius relation with similar empirical and theoretical Period-Radius relations in the recent literature, improves by changing the projection factor from p=1.36 to p=1.27. Our Period-Radius relation is log(R)=(0.75\pm 0.03)log(P)+(1.10 \pm 0.03), with a rms=0.03 dex. Thanks to accurate estimates of the effective temperature of the selected Cepheids, we also derived the Period-Luminosity relation in the V band and we found Mv=(-2.78 \pm 0.11)log(P)+(-1.42 \pm 0.11) with rms=0.13 mag, for p=1.27. It agrees quite well with recent results in the literature, while the relation for p=1.36 deviates by more than 2sigma. We conclude that, even taking into account the intrinsic dispersion of the obtained Period-Luminosity relations, that is roughly of the same order of magnitude as the effect of the projection factor, the results of this paper seem to favour the value p = 1.27.

Contextual factors in unsuccessful teaching practica : the perspective of the teacher candidate

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Failure, or the need to repeat a practicum, in the Teacher Education program occurs for approximately 10% of teacher candidates (Clarke, 2015). This study examined ways in which the practicum context served or hindered teacher candidates who were required to repeat their practicum. Data were collected by an anonymous online survey of teachers who repeated and subsequently completed their practicum [to determine the factors believed to have contributed to their need to repeat their practicum], followed by interviews of three survey participants. Experiences of the researcher are also included in the data set. Five themes emerged from the data as contributing factors to needing to repeat a practicum. They are: excessive workload, inappropriate feedback, poor relationships with mentors, role models who could not demonstrate best practice, and personal limitations. The results of this study confirm the importance of attending to contexts of the practicum setting. In particular, there is a need for mentoring practices to be refined. The results also support the need for a more integrated approach to teacher education.

description: Introduction: Trophoblast plays a vital role in the embryonic implantation and function of the placenta. Exposure to a hyperglycemic environment results in the abnormal function of trophoblasts during fetoplacental development, which leads to maternal complications and poor fetal outcomes. However, the precise mechanisms of placental pathology during hyperglycemia remain elusive. We investigated the role of CYP1B1 in the functional behavior of the extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell line HTR-8/SVneo under hyperglycemic condition. Methods: We determined the expression of CYP1B1 via real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Specific CYP1B1 inhibitors and small interfering RNA were used to knockdown CYP1B1, whereas an agonist and an adenovirus were used to overexpress CYP1B1. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of the EVT cell line (i.e. HTR-8/SVneo) were assessed via colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine, wound healing, and transwell assay. Results: CYP1B1 is highly expressed in placentas from women with gestational diabetes mellitus. The blockage of CYP1B1 inhibits EVT activities induced by hyperglycemia in vitro, including proliferation, migration, and invasion, whereas the exogenous expression of CYP1B1 exhibits the opposite effects. Discussion: Our study may offer a new method for regulating EVT motility under hyperglycemic condition via CYP1B1.

description: Objective: Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is regarded as a contraindication to pregnancy, with therapeutic abortion recommended in the event of unintended pregnancy. However, women with ES continue to desire and attempt pregnancy despite grave risks to their own health. This study compares the costs and outcomes of pregnancy in women with ES to the use of gestational surrogates in their pregnancies. Study design: A decision-analytic model was built using TreeAge software that compared use of gestational surrogates and pregnancy in women with ES. Maternal death and neonatal outcomes including intrauterine fetal demise, preterm birth, cerebral palsy, and death were assessed. All probabilities and costs were derived from the literature. Utilities were discounted at a rate of 3% across the expected lifespan to generate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Univariate and multivariate sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of the model given changes in baseline assumptions. Results: In a theoretical cohort of 1000 women with ES, pregnancy would result in 360 maternal deaths, 100 stillbirths, 477 preterm births, and 157 neonatal deaths . In these highly desired pregnancies, use of gestational surrogates would prevent 99 and 98% of maternal and neonatal death, respectively. Cases and costs of preterm birth and associated cerebral palsy are also significantly reduced. Use of a gestational surrogate would save $518,255 per woman with a gain of 6.77 QALYs, a dominant strategy. The approach is cost-effective up to a cost of surrogacy of $1.2 million and even if the surrogate achieves pregnancy only 30% of the time. Conclusions: The use of surrogate mothers for those with ES is cost-effective and results in significantly improved maternal and neonatal outcomes. These benefits are robust in the face of high surrogacy costs largely due to the marked reduction in maternal mortality and preterm birth. These findings should be used to underscore the importance of broadening health care financing for medically-indicated assisted reproduction.

description: Despite the significant progress in multiagent teamwork, existing research does not address the optimality of its prescriptions nor the complexity of the teamwork problem. Without a characterization of the optimality-complexity tradeoffs, it is impossible to determine whether the assumptions and approximations made by a particular theory gain enough efficiency to justify the losses in overall performance. To provide a tool for use by multiagent researchers in evaluating this tradeoff, we present a unified framework, the COMmunicative Multiagent Team Decision Problem (COM-MTDP). The COM-MTDP model combines and extends existing multiagent theories, such as decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes and economic team theory. In addition to their generality of representation, COM-MTDPs also support the analysis of both the optimality of team performance and the computational complexity of the agents' decision problem. In analyzing complexity, we present a breakdown of the computational complexity of constructing optimal teams under various classes of problem domains, along the dimensions of observability and communication cost. In analyzing optimality, we exploit the COM-MTDP's ability to encode existing teamwork theories and models to encode two instantiations of joint intentions theory taken from the literature. Furthermore, the COM-MTDP model provides a basis for the development of novel team coordination algorithms. We derive a domain-independent criterion for optimal communication and provide a comparative analysis of the two joint intentions instantiations with respect to this optimal policy. We have implemented a reusable, domain-independent software package based on COM-MTDPs to analyze teamwork coordination strategies, and we demonstrate its use by encoding and evaluating the two joint intentions strategies within an example domain.

description: Aims: To summarize the relationship between vitamin D and infant asthma or wheeze. Materials and methods: We used PubMed and Embase to search articles through July 2017 with selection criteria for relevant studies. Random-effect models were used to pool the results of included studies. Results: Ten articles with 14 independent reports of 2073 incident cases of asthma and 1875 cases of wheeze among 23 030 pairs of mother and child were included in our meta-analysis. Compared to those who did not take vitamin D, the mothers who had vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy stage could reduce the risk of asthma or wheeze in infants. The combined odds ratio of infant wheeze was 0.65 (95% CI = 0.54–0.79) and asthma was 0.78 (95% CI = 0.69–0.89). The results almost did not change in the subgroup analyses. Conclusions: It suggests that increasing maternal vitamin D intake during pregnancy might have a protective effect on suffering from wheeze and asthma for children.

Effects of field dependence-independence and passive highlights on comprehension
Creators: name: Dodson, Samuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This study explores the effects of relevant and irrelevant highlights on reading comprehension. Participants were divided by their cognitive styles based on their degree of Field Dependence-Independence (Witkin, Dyk, Fattuson, Goodenough, & Karp, 1962). The Construction-Integration model (Kintsch, 1988) was used for the selection of reading tests that are most likely to measure comprehension. As a result, multiple choice, open-ended summary, and Sentence Verification Technique (Royer, Hastings, & Hook, 1979) questions were used. Passive highlights were found to have significant effects on comprehension. Both Field Independents and Field Dependents were positively affected by relevant highlights and negatively affected by irrelevant ones. Differences were found between measures of comprehension used in the study, suggesting the comprehension tests measure different components of comprehension. These results have implications for the future study of reading.

description: The recent detection of both pressure and high-order gravity modes in the classical B-type pulsator Gamma Pegasi offers promising prospects for probing its internal structure through seismic studies. To aid further modelling of this star, we present the results of a detailed NLTE abundance analysis based on a large number of time-resolved, high-quality spectra. A chemical composition typical of nearby B-type stars is found. The hybrid nature of this star is consistent with its location in the overlapping region of the instability strips for beta Cephei and slowly pulsating B stars computed using OP opacity tables, although OPAL calculations may also be compatible with the observations once the uncertainties in the stellar parameters and the current limitations of the stability calculations are taken into account. The two known frequencies f1 = 6.58974 and f2 = 0.68241 c/d are detected in the spectroscopic time series. A mode identification is attempted for the low-frequency signal, which can be associated to a high-order g -mode. Finally, we re-assess the binary status of Gamma Peg and find no evidence for variations that can be ascribed to orbital motion, contrary to previous claims in the literature.

description: Much work in AI deals with the selection of proper actions in a given (known or unknown) environment. However, the way to select a proper action when facing other agents is quite unclear. Most work in AI adopts classical game-theoretic equilibrium analysis to predict agent behavior in such settings. This approach however does not provide us with any guarantee for the agent. In this paper we introduce competitive safety analysis. This approach bridges the gap between the desired normative AI approach, where a strategy should be selected in order to guarantee a desired payoff, and equilibrium analysis. We show that a safety level strategy is able to guarantee the value obtained in a Nash equilibrium, in several classical computer science settings. Then, we discuss the concept of competitive safety strategies, and illustrate its use in a decentralized load balancing setting, typical to network problems. In particular, we show that when we have many agents, it is possible to guarantee an expected payoff which is a factor of 8/9 of the payoff obtained in a Nash equilibrium. Our discussion of competitive safety analysis for decentralized load balancing is further developed to deal with many communication links and arbitrary speeds. Finally, we discuss the extension of the above concepts to Bayesian games, and illustrate their use in a basic auctions setup.

description: Objective: Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is regarded as a contraindication to pregnancy, with therapeutic abortion recommended in the event of unintended pregnancy. However, women with ES continue to desire and attempt pregnancy despite grave risks to their own health. This study compares the costs and outcomes of pregnancy in women with ES to the use of gestational surrogates in their pregnancies. Study design: A decision-analytic model was built using TreeAge software that compared use of gestational surrogates and pregnancy in women with ES. Maternal death and neonatal outcomes including intrauterine fetal demise, preterm birth, cerebral palsy, and death were assessed. All probabilities and costs were derived from the literature. Utilities were discounted at a rate of 3% across the expected lifespan to generate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Univariate and multivariate sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of the model given changes in baseline assumptions. Results: In a theoretical cohort of 1000 women with ES, pregnancy would result in 360 maternal deaths, 100 stillbirths, 477 preterm births, and 157 neonatal deaths . In these highly desired pregnancies, use of gestational surrogates would prevent 99 and 98% of maternal and neonatal death, respectively. Cases and costs of preterm birth and associated cerebral palsy are also significantly reduced. Use of a gestational surrogate would save $518,255 per woman with a gain of 6.77 QALYs, a dominant strategy. The approach is cost-effective up to a cost of surrogacy of $1.2 million and even if the surrogate achieves pregnancy only 30% of the time. Conclusions: The use of surrogate mothers for those with ES is cost-effective and results in significantly improved maternal and neonatal outcomes. These benefits are robust in the face of high surrogacy costs largely due to the marked reduction in maternal mortality and preterm birth. These findings should be used to underscore the importance of broadening health care financing for medically-indicated assisted reproduction.

description: The motion of a large, neutrally buoyant, particle, freely advected by a turbulent flow is determined experimentally. We demonstrate that both the translational and angular accelerations exhibit very wide probability distributions, a manifestation of intermittency. The orientation of the angular velocity with respect to the trajectory, as well as the translational acceleration conditioned on the spinning velocity provide evidence of a lift force acting on the particle.

description: This paper focuses on a system, WOLFIE (WOrd Learning From Interpreted Examples), that acquires a semantic lexicon from a corpus of sentences paired with semantic representations. The lexicon learned consists of phrases paired with meaning representations. WOLFIE is part of an integrated system that learns to transform sentences into representations such as logical database queries. Experimental results are presented demonstrating WOLFIE's ability to learn useful lexicons for a database interface in four different natural languages. The usefulness of the lexicons learned by WOLFIE are compared to those acquired by a similar system, with results favorable to WOLFIE. A second set of experiments demonstrates WOLFIE's ability to scale to larger and more difficult, albeit artificially generated, corpora. In natural language acquisition, it is difficult to gather the annotated data needed for supervised learning; however, unannotated data is fairly plentiful. Active learning methods attempt to select for annotation and training only the most informative examples, and therefore are potentially very useful in natural language applications. However, most results to date for active learning have only considered standard classification tasks. To reduce annotation effort while maintaining accuracy, we apply active learning to semantic lexicons. We show that active learning can significantly reduce the number of annotated examples required to achieve a given level of performance.

description: The Sun is a variable star whose magnetic activity varies most perceptibly on a timescale of approximately 11 years. However, significant variation is also observed on much shorter timescales. We observe a quasi-biennial (2 year) signal in the natural oscillation frequencies of the Sun. The oscillation frequencies are sensitive probes of the solar interior and so by studying them we can gain information about conditions beneath the solar surface. Our results point strongly to the 2 year signal being distinct and separate from, but nevertheless susceptible to the influence of, the main 11 year solar cycle.

The TRIUMF nine-cell SRF cavity for ARIEL
Creators: name: Kolb, Philipp Ulrich
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Modern physics research relies on particle accelerators and available beam time is a very limited resource. The ARIEL eLINAC will strengthen the rare isotope program at TRIUMF by providing an alternative way to create rare isotope beams (RIB). A possible way to add additional use to this machine is to create a return beam line and use the beam to excite a free electron laser (FEL). The remaining beam can be used to drive fields in the SRF cavities to reduce the required RF power. One limitation of these energy recovery LINACs (ERL) is beam-break up. Higher order modes (HOM), especially dipole modes, have a negative influence on the beam which can lead to beam loss. The design of the SRF cavity has to accommodate this to make sure a beam current of up to 10mA can be used for both RIB production and ERL operation. This thesis will go through the design process of the ARIEL 1.3 GHz nine-cell cavity. The design relies on simulations to calculate the fields inside the cavity and with it the shunt impedance of HOMs. The investigations showed that resistive beam line absorbers can be used to reduce the shunt impedance of HOMs sufficiently without interfering with the accelerating mode. The performance of the absorber material has been verified in dedicated low temperature measurements, while the HOM field distribution has been measured via beadpulling on a copper model of the cavity. These measurements showed good agreement with the simulations. The power dissipation in the SRF cavities is of vital importance. The cryogenic system is a signicant part of the capital investment for the accelerator and sets the power budget for each cavity to around 10 W. This corresponds to a Q₀ value of 1 x 10¹⁰ at an operational temperature of 2 K. The gradient goal is 10 MV/m to reach the design energy of 50 MeV with five cavities. Both Q₀ and Eacc specifications have been met in the first two cavities that are installed in cryomodules. Two more cavities have been built and are in their qualification phase.
