Synthesis of a traceless-affinity probe to selectively label integrin alpha v beta five in live cells
Creators: name: Poirier, Raphael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Integrin alpha v beta five (ITGαvβ₅) and milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) are two proteins whose interactions are essential to brain function. Both are highly expressed during periods of brain development when axonal pruning is very active. Recent studies have also shown both ITGαvβ₅ and MFG-E8 to be overexpressed in postmortem brains afflicted with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite this strong correlation, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms contributing to synapse elimination in AD is hindered by the lack of chemical tools to study them. Indeed, current chemical tools prevent visualization of protein interactions under endogenous environments. The development of new chemical tools to study protein interactions under endogenous environments without affecting function of both ITGαvβ₅ and MFG-E8 will provide a better understanding of their role in AD’s. This thesis details the synthesis of a fluorescent traceless-affinity probe (TAP) designed to selectively label ITGαvβ₅ to help address this knowledge gap. The fluorescent TAP consists of three smaller molecular components: a ITGαvβ₅ ligand, a cleavable electrophile linker and fluorescent reporter tag. The ITGαvβ₅ ligand and the cleavable electrophile linker were all individually synthesized and then coupled together with the fluorescent tag to assemble the TAP. Chapter 2 of this thesis focuses on the synthesis of a modified cilengitide allowing for late-stage derivatization at the meta position of the D-phenylalanine. Chapter 3 reviews precedents of TAPs, synthesis of cleavable electrophiles and linkers, and addresses future directions for the development of TAPs. Lastly chapter 4 concludes with a detailed account of the synthetic steps performed and the challenges faced towards assembling the final desired TAPs. Overall, the synthesis of a novel probe described in this thesis serves as a versatile probe construct with late-stage modularity towards the development of TAP to selectively target ITGαvβ₅. The synthetic routes established in both chapter 3 and 4 constitute significant progress towards a unique probe in the hopes to label ITGαvβ₅ without perturbing function under endogenous conditions.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Natural capital optimization of carbon, water, and tailings in mining and metals
Creators: name: Cox, Benjamin Jeremiah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Mining and processing metals present significant environmental and economic challenges as they deplete and convert natural capital, including carbon emissions, local water depletion, and tailings deposition, into metal production. This thesis aims to make a practical contribution to the mining industry by providing and documenting three techno-economic models that help price and optimize natural capital options around carbon emissions, wet tailings dam costing, and valuing the water recovery from the dry stack, thickener control systems, and hydro-cyclones. These tools help engineers, financial stakeholders, and outside stakeholders to improve decision-making. First, the research examined why a carbon tax would increase renewable energy production, resulting in a material increase in the demand for many minerals and metals. A financial model created to calculate the cost of carbon taxes for 23 commodities across three industries shows that, given any level of carbon taxation tested, excluding coal, mining has a regressive tax load in carbon taxation compared to the other commodities modeled. Second, the thesis introduces and tests a present-value USD/DMT financial costing model for traditional tailings storage facilities (TSF), focusing on improving early-stage decision-making on tailings disposal technology. The model provides a comparable metric for other tailings disposal options to be tested against, integrating capital, operating, and closure costs on a single present value metric. Finally, the thesis develops a techno-economic trade-off model (TET) to compare tailings technologies, including thickener control systems, hydro-cyclones, and dry stack tailings, against traditional TSF on a techno-economic basis. The results suggest that by including the value of the water recovered, all technologies are economically viable in Chile compared to traditional TSF. The model also shows that far more economic benefits are possible per water unit, reducing the carbon and capital footprint per tonne of metal produced from desalination and pumping. By bridging the siloed worlds of sustainability, engineering, and economics, this research contributes to better decision-making earlier in the development cycle of projects by policymakers, mining companies, and their engineering and equipment vendors. It also helps align industry economic incentives with environmental goals.
Eikonal propagators and high-energy parton-parton scattering in gauge theories

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this paper we consider soft high-energy parton-parton scattering processes in gauge theories, i.e., elastic scattering processes involving partons at very high squared energies in the center of mass and small squared transferred momentum. By a direct resummation of perturbation theory in the limit we are considering, we derive expressions for the truncated-connected quark (antiquark) propagator in an external gluon field, as well as for the residue at the pole of the full unrenormalized propagator, both for scalar and fermion gauge theories. These are the basic ingredients to derive high-energy parton-parton scattering amplitudes, using the LSZ reduction formulae and a functional integral approach. The above procedure is also extended to include the case in which at least one of the partons is a gluon. The meaning and the validity of the results are discussed.

Random coding for sharing bosonic quantum secrets

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We consider a protocol for sharing quantum states using continuous variable systems. Specifically we introduce an encoding procedure where bosonic modes in arbitrary secret states are mixed with several ancillary squeezed modes through a passive interferometer. We derive simple conditions on the interferometer for this encoding to define a secret sharing protocol and we prove that they are satisfied by almost any interferometer. This implies that, if the interferometer is chosen uniformly at random, the probability that it may not be used to implement a quantum secret sharing protocol is zero. Furthermore, we show that the decoding operation can be obtained and implemented efficiently with a Gaussian unitary using a number of single-mode squeezers that is at most twice the number of modes of the secret, regardless of the number of players. We benchmark the quality of the reconstructed state by computing the fidelity with the secret state as a function of the input squeezing.

A group-theoretical approach to conditionally free cumulants

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: In this work we extend the recently introduced group-theoretical approach to moment-cumulant relations in non-commutative probability theory to the notion of conditionally free cumulants. This approach is based on a particular combinatorial Hopf algebra which may be characterised as a non-cocommutative generalisation of the classical unshuffle Hopf algebra. Central to our work is the resulting non-commutative shuffle algebra structure on the graded dual. It implies an extension of the classical relation between the group of Hopf algebra characters and its Lie algebra of infinitesimal characters and, among others, the appearance of new forms of adjoint actions of the group on its Lie algebra which happens to play a key role in the new algebraic understanding of conditionally free cumulants.

description: Parameters of the effective chiral lagrangian (EChL) of orders $O(p^4)$ and $O(p^6)$ are extracted from low--energy behaviour of dual resonance models for $ ππ$ and $πK$ scattering amplitudes. Dual resonance models are considered to be good candidates for the resonance spectrum and for hadronic scattering amplitudes in the large $N_c$ limit of QCD. We discuss dual resonance models in the presence of spontaneous and explicit chiral symmetry breaking. Obtained parameters of the EChL are used to estimate chiral corrections up to the sixth order to various low--energy characteristics of $ππ$ and $πK$ scattering amplitudes.

description: A wide range of materials like graphene, topological insulators and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) share an interesting property: the low energy excitations behave as Dirac particles. This emergent behavior of Dirac quasiparticles defines a large class of media that are usually called Dirac materials. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of Dirac materials with a gap are still largely unexplored, and in this Letter we build the foundations of a novel way to study the linear optical properties of these two-dimensional media. Our approach is based on a new Dirac-like formulation of the standard semiconductor Bloch equations used in semiconductor physics. We provide an explicit expression of the linear absorbance -- which we call the relativistic Elliott formula -- and use this to quantify the variation of the continuum absorbance spectrum with the strength of the Coulomb interaction (the Sommerfeld factor). Our calculations also show how the Coulomb enhancements scales with the bandgap and vanishes for zero bandgap, shedding new light on the behaviour of graphene for low light intensities. The results presented are in good quantitative agreement with published experimental results. Our new theory will allow researchers to explore the nonlinear interactions of intense, ultrashort pulses with TMDs, and the framework is flexible enough to be adapted to different experimental situations, such as cavities, multilayers, heterostructures and microresonators.

description: Depression is a global burden and one of the most challenging mental health conditions to control. Experts can detect its severity early using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaire, administer appropriate medication to patients, and impede its progression. Due to the fear of potential stigmatization, many patients turn to social media platforms like Reddit for advice and assistance at various stages of their journey. This research extracts text from Reddit to facilitate the diagnostic process. It employs a proposed labeling approach to categorize the text and subsequently fine-tunes the Longformer model. The model's performance is compared against baseline models, including Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Gradient Boosting. Our findings reveal that the Longformer model outperforms the baseline models in both English (48%) and Luganda (45%) languages on a custom-made dataset.

description: Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory is an interesting and well-motivated theoretical laboratory to explore the impact of new fundamental degrees of freedom in the context of testing the no-hair conjecture, due to the existence of hairy black hole solutions together with the propagation of scalar, vector and tensor modes. In this paper we compute the quasinormal mode spectrum of static and slowly rotating black holes for generic values of the dilaton coupling, within a weak electric charge approximation. Our results suggest that these spacetimes are stable for generic values of the dilaton coupling and the black hole charge. We also show that while gravitational modes are only weakly affected by the coupling with the dilaton, the spectrum of electromagnetic modes exhibits a more pronounced dilaton-dependent breaking of isospectrality between the axial and polar sectors. We further show that the gravitational quasinormal modes are well approximated by the properties of unstable null circular geodesics in those spacetimes, while the treatment of electromagnetic and scalar modes can be simplified by a suitably modified Dudley-Finley scheme for the perturbed equations.

description: We propose a stationary system that might be regarded as a migration model of some population abandoning their original place of abode and becoming part of another population, once they reach the interface boundary. To do so, we show a model where each population follows a logistic equation in their own environment while assuming spatial heterogeneities. Moreover, both populations are coupled through the common boundary, which acts as a permeable membrane on which their flow moves in and out. The main goal we face in this work will be to describe the precise interplay between the stationary solutions with respect to the parameters involved in the problem, in particular the growth rate of the populations and the coupling parameter involved on the boundary where the interchange of flux is taking place.

Neck muscle and intervertebral dynamics during impending headfirst impacts in rollover crashes
Creators: name: Al-Salehi, Loay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Catastrophic spine and spinal cord injuries remain a public health concern. The largest share of these injuries is attributed to motor vehicle crashes, e.g., headfirst impacts in vehicle rollovers, and this share has remained stable, despite advancements in vehicle safety. To improve our understanding of the underlying injury mechanisms, this dissertation comprised an epidemiological study, two in vivo experiments, and the design of a novel rollover test device for future human subject experiments. In the epidemiology study, we examined how different types of cervical spine injuries vary with different occupant-related factors, and compared rollovers to non-rollovers. We found that all types of cervical spine injuries were 3.4–6.5 times more likely to occur in rollovers compared to non-rollovers, and the frequent occurrence of vertebral fractures suggests that countermeasures focused on preventing fractures will effectively prevent most cervical spinal cord injuries. In our first in vivo experiment, we exposed eleven human subjects to headfirst freefalls that simulated an impending headfirst impact. We quantified head and cervical spine posture before and at the end of the freefalls, and head kinematics and muscle activation during the freefalls. We confirmed our hypothesis that a 312.5 ms freefall is sufficiently long for an individual to significantly change their head-neck posture and muscle activation states prior to an impending headfirst impact. Subjects consistently moved their necks anteriorly and inferiorly, increased their neck’s anterior eccentricity, and rotated their cervical spines and heads in the flexion direction. Subjects used a variety of muscle activation patterns to achieve this consistent head and neck rotation response, and muscles were activated well before the end of the freefall duration. Finally, to increase fidelity to a real-world rollover, we designed and tested a novel rollover test device that simulates the yaw, trip and first half roll of a vehicle rollover with a high repeatability, that is safe for human subject use, and that enables the collection of human subject kinematic and muscle activation data throughout the rollover. The findings of these studies will improve our understanding of cervical spine injury mechanisms, and represent an incremental step towards their prevention.

description: This work is devoted to the analysis of the asymptotic behaviour of a parameter dependent quasilinear cooperative eigenvalue system when a parameter in front of some non-negative potentials goes to infinity. In particular we consider operators of $p$-Laplacian type. We prove that the eigenfunctions concentrate on the subdomains where those potentials vanish at the limit, while the eigenvalue approaches to an upper bound that will depend on those subdomains as well. We also show several properties for the unusual limiting problems obtained here.

description: There is a storied scientific history in the role of mechanical instruments for the measurement of fundamental physical interactions. Among these include the detection of magnetic torques via a displacement of a compliant mechanical sensor as a result of angular momentum transfer. Modern nanofabrication methods have enabled the coupling of mechanical structures to single, miniature magnetic specimens. This has allowed for strikingly sensitive detection of magnetic hysteresis and other quasi-static effects, as well as spin resonances, in materials confined to nanoscale geometries. The extraordinary sensitivities achieved in mechanical transduction through recent breakthroughs in cavity optomechanics, where a high-finesse optical cavity is used for readout of motion, are now being harnessed for torque magnetometry. In this article, we review the recent progress in mechanical detection of magnetic torques, highlight current applications, and speculate on possible future developments in the technology and science. Guidelines for designing and implementing the measurements are also included.

description: In modeling DNA chains, the number of alternations between Adenine-Thymine (AT) and Guanine-Cytosine (GC) base pairs can be considered as a measure of the heterogeneity of the chain, which in turn could affect its dynamics. A probability distribution function of the number of these alternations is derived for circular or periodic DNA. Since there are several symmetries to account for in the periodic chain, necklace counting methods are used. In particular, Polya's Enumeration Theorem is extended for the case of a group action that preserves partitioned necklaces. This, along with the treatment of generating functions as formal power series, allows for the direct calculation of the number of possible necklaces with a given number of AT base pairs, GC base pairs and alternations. The theoretically obtained probability distribution functions of the number of alternations are accurately reproduced by Monte Carlo simulations and fitted by Gaussians. The effect of the number of base pairs on the characteristics of these distributions is also discussed, as well as the effect of the ratios of the numbers of AT and GC base pairs.

description: Let $k$ be a field, $K/k$ finitely generated and $L/K$ a finite, separable extension. We show that the existence of a $k$-valuation on $L$ which ramifies in $L/K$ implies the existence of a normal model $X$ of $K$ and a prime divisor $D$ on the normalization $X_L$ of $X$ in $L$ which ramifies in the scheme morphism $X_L \rightarrow X$. Assuming the existence of a regular, proper model $X$ of $K$, this is a straight-forward consequence of the Zariski-Nagata theorem on the purity of the branch locus. We avoid assumptions on resolution of singularities by using M. Temkin's inseparable local uniformization theorem.

description: We investigate the problem of derivation of consistent equations of motion for the massive spin 2 field interacting with gravity within both field theory and string theory. In field theory we derive the most general classical action with non-minimal couplings in arbitrary spacetime dimension, find the most general gravitational background on which this action describes a consistent theory and generalize the analysis for the coupling with background scalar dilaton field. We show also that massive spin 2 field allows in principle consistent description in arbitrary background if one builds its action in the form of an infinite series in the inverse mass square. Using sigma-model description of string theory in background fields we obtain in the lowest order in $α'$ the explicit form of effective equations of motion for the massive spin 2 field interacting with gravity from the requirement of quantum Weyl invariance and demonstrate that they coincide with the general form of consistent equations derived in field theory.

The effects of source clustering on weak lensing statistics

description: I investigate the effects of source clustering on the weak lensing statistics, more particularly on the statistical properties of the local convergence, kappa, at large angular scales. The Perturbation Theory approach shows that the variance is not affected by source clustering at leading order but higher order moments such as the third and fourth moments can be. I compute the magnitude of these effects in case of an Einstein-de Sitter Universe for the angular top-hat filtered convergence. In these calculations the so-called Broadhurst and multiple lens coupling effects are neglected. The source clustering effect is found to be particularly important when the redshift distribution is broad enough so that remote background sources can be significantly lensed by closer concentrations of galaxy sources. The source clustering effects are shown to remain negligible, for both the skewness and the kurtosis, when the dispersion of the redshift of the sources is less than about 0.15.

description: The separation of a heavy quark and antiquark pair leads to the formation of a tube of flux, or string, which should break in the presence of light quark-antiquark pairs. This expected zero temperature phenomenon has proven elusive in simulations of lattice QCD. We present simulation results that show that the string does break in the confining phase at nonzero temperature.

description: We analyze the potential of the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to study anomalous quartic vector--boson interactions (photon photon Z Z) and (photon photon W+ W-). Working in the framework of SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y chiral Lagrangians, we study the production of photons pairs accompanied by (e+e-), (e nu), and jet pairs to impose bounds on these new couplings, taking into account the unitarity constraints. We compare our findings with the indirect limits coming from precision electroweak measurements as well as with presently available direct searches at LEPII. We show that the Tevatron Run II can provide limits on these quartic limits which are of the same order of magnitude as the existing bounds from LEPII searches. LHC will be able to tighten considerably the direct constraints on these possible new interactions, leading to more stringent limits than the presently available indirect ones.

description: In this paper, we observe how the heat equation in a non-cylindrical domain can arise as the asymptotic limit of a parabolic problem in a cylindrical domain, by adding a potential that vanishes outside the limit domain. This can be seen as a parabolic version of a previous work by the first and last authors, concerning the stationary case. We provide a strong convergence result for the solution by use of energetic methods and $Γ$-convergence technics. Then, we establish an exponential decay estimate coming from an adaptation of an argument due to B. Simon.

Predictions of Neutralino Dark Matter Event Rates in Minimal Supergravity Unification

description: A detailed analysis of dark matter event rates in minimal supergravity models (MSGM) is given. It is shown analytically that the lightest neutralino the ${{\tilde {Z}_{1}}}$ is the LSP over almost all of the parameter space, and hence the natural candidate for cold dark matter (CDM). The radiative breaking of $SU(2)\times U(1)$ constraints are shown to be crucial in determining the expected event rates. Approximate analytic formulae are obtained to determine the gaugino-higgsino content of the ${{\tilde{Z}_{1}}}$ particle.From this one can deduce the behavior of the event rates as one varies the SUSY soft breaking parameters and tan $β$. The constraint on the event rates due to the recently measured $b\rightarrow s+γ$ decay is calculated. It is seen that this data eliminates most of the parameter space where $μ$ (the Higgs mixing parameter) and $A_t$ (the t-quark cubic soft breaking parameter) have the same sign. Since the t-quark is close to its Landau pole, $A_t$ is restricted to be mostly positive, and so most of the $μ>0$ part of the parameter space is eliminated...

description: $ \newcommand{\cclass}[1]{\normalfont\textsf{##1}} $We show average-case lower bounds for explicit Boolean functions against bounded-depth threshold circuits with a superlinear number of wires. We show that for each integer $d > 1$, there is a constant $\varepsilon_d > 0$ such that the Parity function on $n$ bits has correlation at most $n^{-\varepsilon_d}$ with depth-$d$ threshold circuits which have at most $n^{1+\varepsilon_d}$ wires, and the Generalized Andreev function on $n$ bits has correlation at most $\exp(-{n^{\varepsilon_d}})$ with depth-$d$ threshold circuits which have at most $n^{1+\varepsilon_d}$ wires. Previously, only worst-case lower bounds in this setting were known (Impagliazzo, Paturi, and Saks (SICOMP 1997)). We use our ideas to make progress on several related questions. We give satisfiability algorithms beating brute force search for depth-$d$ threshold circuits with a superlinear number of wires. These are the first such algorithms for depth greater than 2. We also show that Parity on $n$ bits cannot be computed by polynomial-size $\textsf{AC}^0$ circuits with $n^{o(1)}$ general threshold gates. Previously no lower bound for Parity in this setting could handle more than $\log(n)$ gates. This result also implies subexponential-time learning algorithms for $\textsf{AC}^0$ with $n^{o(1)}$ threshold gates under the uniform distribution. In addition, we give almost optimal bounds for the number of gates in a depth-$d$ threshold circuit computing Parity on average, and show average-case lower bounds for threshold formulas of any depth. Our techniques include adaptive random restrictions, anti-concentration and the structural theory of linear threshold functions, and bounded-read Chernoff bounds.

Agroforestry
Productivity

description: In the agroforestry systems the short-term production is often limited due to an inappropriate soil fertility management. The use of inorganic and organic fertilizers can enhance the soil fertility at the same time that the productivity of the agroforestry systems (of both the understory and the woody perennials) is increased. The main difference between inorganic and organic fertilizers is the amount of fertilizer that should be added into the soil to fulfil crop needs that is usually higher with organic fertilizers due to the lower nutrient content they have compared with the main inorganic fertilizers. One option adopted in many countries around the world is the use of manure or sewage sludge as organic fertilizers due to their low cost compared with mineral fertilizers and their specific organic matter and macronutrient content, particularly nitrogen. Moreover, the use of this type of residue as fertilizers contribute to the Circular Economy strategy adopted by the European Commission, which proposes that when a product reaches the end of its life, it should be used again to create further value.

description: Let a particle move in the flat space-time under the action of the electric potential. If it decays to two fragments, the energy of debris can be larger than the original energy and, moreover, the efficiency of such a process can be unbounded. This effect can be considered as a limit of the Denardo-Ruffini process near the Reissner-Nordström black hole when the gravitational constant and/or black hole mass tend to zero. There are scenarios in which the energy of debris at infinity is much larger than the initial one. Comparison with other close but distinct effects is discussed.

We provide strong numerical evidence for the existence of an exponential bound on the entropy of the model and establish that the phase structure is identical to that of a corresponding model restricted to an ensemble of combinatorial triangulations.

description: Recent breakthroughs in quantum-dot circuit-quantum-electrodynamics (circuit-QED) systems are important both from a fundamental perspective and from the point of view of quantum photonic devices. However, understanding the applications of such setups as potential thermoelectric diodes and transistors has been missing. In this paper, via the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function approach, we show that cavity-coupled double quantum-dots can serve as excellent quantum thermoelectric diodes and transistors. Using an enhanced perturbation approach based on polaron-transformations, we find non-monotonic dependences of thermoelectric transport properties on the electron-photon interaction. Strong light-matter interaction leads to pronounced rectification effects for both charge and heat, as well as thermal transistor effects in the linear transport regime, which opens up a cutting-edge frontier for quantum thermoelectric devices.
