description: With the tremendous amount of computing because of the wide usage of internet it is observed that some user(s) are not able to manage their desktop with antivirus software properly installed. It is happening few times, that we allow our friends, students and colleagues to sit on our networked PC. Sometimes the user is unaware of the situation that there workstations are unsecured and so some one else could also be monitoring your flow of information and your most important data could go haywire, resulting into leakage of most confidential data to unwanted or malicious user(s). Example of some such documents could be question papers designed by the faculty member by various universities. Now a day most of the universities are having the biggest threat about the question papers and many other confidential documents designed by their faculty members. We in this paper present the solution to over come such a situation using the concept of Steganography. Steganography is a technique through which one can hide information into some cover object. This technique, if used, in positive direction could be of great help to solve such a problem and even other.

description: We introduce economic models based on Boolean Delay Equations: this formalism makes easier to take into account the complexity of the interactions between firms and is particularly appropriate for studying the propagation of an initial damage due to a catastrophe. Here we concentrate on simple cases, which allow to understand the effects of multiple concurrent production paths as well as the presence of stochasticity in the path time lengths or in the network structure. In absence of flexibility, the shortening of production of a single firm in an isolated network with multiple connections usually ends up by attaining a finite fraction of the firms or the whole economy, whereas the interactions with the outside allow a partial recovering of the activity, giving rise to periodic solutions with waves of damage which propagate across the structure. The damage propagation speed is strongly dependent upon the topology. The existence of multiple concurrent production paths does not necessarily imply a slowing down of the propagation, which can be as fast as the shortest path.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The process of fracture in ductile metals involves the nucleation, growth, and linking of voids. This process takes place both at the low rates involved in typical engineering applications and at the high rates associated with dynamic fracture processes such as spallation. Here we study the growth of a void in a single crystal at high rates using molecular dynamics (MD) based on Finnis-Sinclair interatomic potentials for the body-centred cubic (bcc) metals V, Nb, Mo, Ta, and W. The use of the Finnis-Sinclair potential enables the study of plasticity associated with void growth at the atomic level at room temperature and strain rates from 10^9/s down to 10^6/s and systems as large as 128 million atoms. The atomistic systems are observed to undergo a transition from twinning at the higher end of this range to dislocation flow at the lower end. We analyze the simulations for the specific mechanisms of plasticity associated with void growth as dislocation loops are punched out to accommodate the growing void. We also analyse the process of nucleation and growth of voids in simulations of nanocrystalline Ta expanding at different strain rates. We comment on differences in the plasticity associated with void growth in the bcc metals compared to earlier studies in face-centred cubic (fcc) metals.

Investigation of novel elements in dicistrovirus IGR IRES-mediated translation
Creators: name: Young, Christina Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Viruses have evolved a variety of mechanisms to subvert cellular processes, specifically at the point of translation, a highly regulated process that relies on recognition of the 5’-cap. One subversive mechanism that many RNA viruses use is the internal ribosome entry site (IRES), a RNA secondary structure that can bypass the necessity of the 5’-cap, translation factors, and even AUG start codon. The most streamlined IRESs are intergenic region (IGR) IRESs, derived from dicistroviruses, where it resides between two main viral open reading frames (ORFs). Interestingly, a subset of dicistroviruses have been identified to contain a +1-frame open reading frame (ORFx) that overlaps the open reading frame 2 (ORF2). Recent studies have indicated some possible mechanisms for +1 frame translation and the role of the resulting protein, but much of it remains elusive. In chapter 2, I evaluated dataset of dicistro-like viruses for predicted +1 open reading frame ORFx. Further, I examined the mechanism of the +1-frame ORFx translation from black queen cell virus (BQCV) IGR IRES, which has previously exemplified high ratios of translation. I determined that BQCV +1-frame translation is IGR IRES-dependent and driven by the downstream sequence. As well, I provide evidence that the BQCV IGR IRES-mediated +1-frame translation is dependent on translation of the 0-frame protein. I propose a model wherein translation begins in the 0-frame and frameshifts downstream into +1-frame. Recently, metagenomic screens of environmental samples have identified previously unknown dicistroviruses and dicistro-like viruses that contain an IGR IRES. Some of these genomes have uncommon structural and organizational characteristics. Specifically, some reside in coding regions of the first open reading frame (ORF1). In chapter 3, two novel predicted IGR IRESs, DS1 and DS2, are evaluated for functionality in vitro on their ability to bind to ribosomes and translation. Further, these are evaluated on how genome arrangement affects translation and translational regulation of the first and second open reading frames. Lastly, these IGR IRESs are analyzed for important structural motifs, providing insights on the similarity of these mechanisms to previously studied IGR IRESs.

description: Nullifying the servo bandwidth errors improves the strehl ratio by a substantial quantity in adaptive optics systems. An effective method for predicting atmospheric turbulence to reduce servo bandwidth errors in real time closed loop correction systems is presented using data mining. Temporally evolving phase screens are simulated using Kolmogorov statistics and used for data analysis. A data cube is formed out of the simulated time series. Partial data is used to predict the subsequent phase screens using the progressive prediction method. The evolution of the phase amplitude at individual pixels is segmented by implementing the segmentation algorithms and prediction was made using linear as well as non linear regression. In this method, the data cube is augmented with the incoming wave-front sensor data and the newly formed data cube is used for further prediction. The statistics of the prediction method is studied under different experimental parameters like segment size, decorrelation timescales of turbulence and segmentation procedure. On an average, 6% improvement is seen in the wave-front correction after progressive prediction using data mining.

Microbiome associations with the gut-brain axis : gut-microbiota changes in major depressive disorder and infant neurodevelopment
Creators: name: Hunter Moreno, Sebastian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The colonization of the microbiome occurs early in life, before the full development of many systems, and its alteration into a dysbiosis state has been associated with several diseases. This has led to the concept of bidirectional communication between the host and the microbiota that promotes the host’s well-being. Because of its importance, new investigations and therapeutic interventions are being developed around the gut-brain axis to understand several conditions such as mood disorders and promoting brain development. This research aimed to further our understanding of the role the gut microbiome has in two different case studies relating to the gut-brain axis: an in-depth microbiome analysis in patients with major depressive disorder and how antidepressants alter the microbiota, and the association of the early microbiome with measurements of early cognitive development in infants. Research on depression was performed on samples from the American Gut Project, a self-selected cohort and open platform database. We compared both a 16S and metagenomic dataset to assess their strength in identifying microbial and metabolic pathway differences between a healthy and depressed population and identifying microbial signatures associated with the disorder, while correcting for important confounding variables such as bowel quality and alcohol consumption. Overall, both datasets identified similar trends, although the metagenomic samples had better performance in all the assays. An antidepressant assay was done in an in-vitro community derived from fecal samples, and treatment with fluoxetine and venlafaxine caused significant changes to the microbiota, reducing its diversity, and shifting the microbial composition and underlying microbial networks. The study on infant neurodevelopment was performed in 56 infants under six months of age, measuring social attention, language discrimination and neural rhythm tracking as measurements of brain development, and associated them to their microbiome. Although the tests were underpowered, associations between social attention and neural rhythm tracking and the microbiome were observed, such as increased Bifidobacterium and Eggerthella and reduced Hungatella and Streptococcus in infants with a successful Point and Gaze test. Overall, we observed potential associations between the microbiome and the gut-brain axis through changes in the microbiota composition and metabolic pathways in depression and infant neurodevelopment.

description: Dopamine in the striatum strongly regulates behavioral output in a heterogenous across the various striatal subregions. Moreover, dopamine dynamics not only displays heterogeneity across brain structures but also within males and females. The purpose of this dataset was to evaluate the dopamine dynamics in male and female mice and rats across five subregions: the dorsolateral caudate, ventromedial caudate, nucleus accumbens core, nucleus accumbens lateral shell, and the nucleus accumbens medial shell. Fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) was employed to measure dopamine release and uptake following a single pulse electrical stimulation in each of these subregions within a single brain slice. The dopamine dynamics were also observed across a variety of stimulation amplitudes. The goal of this dataset was to produce systematic FSCV measurements of dopamine across the rodent striatum using FSCV which would be available as a resource for further investigation of DA terminal function.

title: Development of a multi-megahertz frequency converter for wireless power applications
Creators: name: Seary, Christopher Thomas
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: A novel wave-shifting, frequency-reducing converter topology is developed, with the target application of capacitive wireless power transmission. The new topology combines a Class-E synchronous rectifier and Class-D inverter. Zero-voltage switching is achieved, and the converter is load-independent. The developed converter is an AC-AC converter, which can divide the input frequency by any even whole number. The power throughput of the rectifier is less than that of the total converter, especially when the ratio of input to output frequency is small. Therefore, the wave-shifting converter has a potential advantage in efficiency over AC-DC-AC frequency reducers. The feasibility of the converter is demonstrated by simulation and experimental results. The intended application of the developed converter is to drive an isolation transformer in a capacitive wireless power rectifier. High-frequency transformers have been investigated, and it is shown that a suitable transformer is compatible with the developed converter.

Initial Clinical Experience with a New Self-Expanding Nitinol Microstent for the Treatment of Wide-Neck Intracranial Cerebral Aneurysms: the Acandis Acclino Stent
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background and Purpose—The Acclino is a laser-cut closed-cell microstent composed of nitinol. It was developed for stent-assisted coiling of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The key feature of the stent is its deployability via low-profile microcatheters with an inner diameter of 0.0165 inch, which are also suited for coil deployment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility as well as the immediate and mid-term results of this new device. Materials and Methods—Our database was screened for all Acclino-based stent-assisted intracranial coil embolizations since its introduction to the European market in June 2012. Case files and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed for angiographical and clinical outcome parameters, including immediate and mid-term modified Raymond-Roy aneurysm occlusion classification (RROC) rates and procedural complications. Results—Fourteen patients comprising 14 aneurysms (9 unruptured and 5 ruptured) were treated with the Acclino. All except for a dissecting one were wide-neck saccular aneurysms. Immediate complete occlusion (RROC1) was observed in 8/14 cases (57%), a residual neck (RROC2) in 4/14 (29%), and a persistent filling of the dome (RROC 3) in 1/14 cases (7%). An in-stent thrombus formation in one case (7%) was medically resolved without neurological deficit. Follow-up was available in 9/14 cases (64%) after a mean of 137 days (SD ± 50). All followed cases depicted a complete occlusion (RROC1)

description: The recovery of voluntary arm movements is one of the most important goals during stroke rehabilitation in order to avoid long-term disability in activities of daily living. Support against gravity in order to reduce flexion synergy is reported as an effective strategy to enable upper extremity rehabilitation. In this study, the reduction of muscle activities and muscle forces with the gravity compensated RETRAINER upper limb exoskeleton were analyzed carrying out defined movements with healthy subjects. The EMG signals of the main active muscles as well as the kinematics of different defined motions were captured and compared. The joint kinematics and the joint moments were computationally determined using a 3D musculoskeletal model. The effectiveness of the upper limb gravity compensation could be shown in both mean values of EMG signals and resulting muscle forces, indicating that this compact and lightweight arm exoskeleton can serve as a powerful tool to support the rehabilitation process.

description: QCD with 2 flavours of massless colour-sextet quarks is studied as a theory which might exhibit a range of scales over which the running coupling constant evolves very slowly (walks). We simulate lattice QCD with 2 flavours of sextet staggered quarks to determine whether walks, or if it has an infrared fixed point, making it a conformal field theory. Our initial simulations are performed at finite temperatures $T=1/N_ta$ ($N_t=4$ and $N_t=6$), which allows us to identify the scales of confinement and chiral-symmetry breaking from the deconfinement and chiral-symmetry restoring transitions. Unlike QCD with fundamental quarks, these two transitions appear to be well-separated. The change in coupling constants at these transitions between the two different temporal extents $N_t$, is consistent with these being finite temperature transitions for an asymptotically free theory, which favours walking behaviour. In the deconfined phase, the Wilson Line shows a 3-state signal. Between the confinement and chiral transitions, there is an additional transition where the states with Wilson Lines oriented in the directions of the complex cube roots of unity disorder into a state with a negative Wilson Line.

description: A novel photon detector, the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), has been tested in proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters that were exposed to cosmic-ray particles in Ljubljana, and a 2 GeV electron beam at the KEK research facility. This type of RICH detector is a candidate for the particle identification detector upgrade of the BELLE detector at the KEK B-factory, for which the use of SiPMs, microchannel plate photomultiplier tubes or hybrid avalanche photodetectors, rather than traditional Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) is essential due to the presence of high magnetic fields. In both experiments, SiPMs are found to compare favourably with PMTs, with higher photon detection rates per unit area. Through the use of hemispherical and truncated pyramid light guides to concentrate photons onto the active surface area, the light yield increases significantly. An estimate of the contribution to dark noise from false coincidences between SiPMs in an array is also presented.

description: It was recently proposed that the leading singularities of the S-Matrix of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory arise as the residues of a contour integral over a Grassmannian manifold, with space-time locality encoded through residue theorems generalizing Cauchy's theorem to more than one variable. We provide a method to identify the residue corresponding to any leading singularity, and we carry this out very explicitly for all leading singularities at tree level and one-loop. We also give several examples at higher loops, including all generic two-loop leading singularities and an interesting four-loop object. As a special case we consider a 12-pt N^4MHV leading singularity at two loops that has a new kinematic structure involving double square roots. Our analysis results in a simple picture for how the topological structure of loop graphs is reflected in various substructures within the Grassmannian.

description: Meltwater from glaciers contributes to hydro-electricity and agricultural production in some places, and model predictions of glacier melt can inform water management decisions. However, predictions are inherently uncertain. Accurately constrained uncertainty can be key to success of management decisions. Few studies have estimated the uncertainty in predictions of debris-covered glacier (DCG) melt. This study evaluated the accuracy of predictions made using both empirical and physically based sub-debris melt models. Empirical mixed-effects relations were fit using data from multiple DCG. The most accurate model in cross-validation, KP1, was fit using melt factors calculated with on-site and MERRA-2 air temperature. KP1 predicts melt factors on the basis of an exponential relation with debris thickness (fixed effect), and site and year of observation (random effects). Model KP1 can be used to estimate melt at any site with a known margin of error; however, considerable uncertainty remained, estimated at ± 98 % of the predicted value. Prediction uncertainty was investigated using a new physically based model, SHAW-Glacier. Based on the Simultaneous Heat and Water (SHAW) transport model (Flerchinger, 1987), SHAW-Glacier is the most physically complete representation of DCG melt yet reported. Predictions made using SHAW-Glacier aligned with observations in general, but could not account for observed ablation at North Changri Nup glacier. Analyses revealed a non-linear sensitivity in modelled ablation to precipitation phase, suggesting a sensitivity to snow cover. Further analyses supported the hypotheses that sub-debris melting is sensitive to summer snow cover distribution and rainfall. Uncertainty in precipitation phase and snow distribution outweighed the effect of debris thickness, and outweighed the effect of all the other physical parameter values, combined. This thesis shows that interactions between debris thickness and meteorological conditions are key to understanding the spatiotemporal variation of sub-debris melt. A fixed relation between sub-debris melt and debris thickness may not hold under varying meteorological conditions or snow distribution patterns. Moreover, patchy snow cover is a source of considerable prediction uncertainty that should be included in glacier-scale and regional model studies. SHAW-Glacier is a flexible tool that may be used to improve understanding of the complex interactions between variables at different sites.

description: The superconducting gap structure of LaFePO ($T_c=7.4 $K) is studied by thermal conductivity ($κ$) at low temperatures in fields $H$ parallel and perpendicular to the c axis. A clear two-step field dependence of $κ(H)$ with a characteristic field $H_s(\sim 350$ Oe) much lower than the upper critical field $H_{c2}$ is observed. In spite of large anisotropy of $H_{c2}$, $κ(H)$ in both $H$-directions is nearly identical below $H_s$. Above $H_s$, $κ(H)$ grows gradually with $H$ with a convex curvature, followed by a steep increase with strong upward curvature near $H_{c2}$. These results indicate the multigap superconductivity with active two-dimensional (2D) and passive 3D bands having contrasting gap values. Together with the recent penetration depth results, we suggest that the 2D bands consist of nodal and nodeless ones, consistent with the extended s-wave symmetry.

description: Background—Bow Hunter's Syndrome is a mechanical occlusion of the vertebral artery which leads to a reduction in blood flow in posterior cerebral circulation resulting in transient reversible symptomatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Case Description—We present a case of Bow Hunter's syndrome in a 53-year-old male that occurred after the patient underwent surgical correction of a proximal left subclavian artery aneurysm. Shortly after the surgery, the patient began to complain of transient visual changes, presyncopal spells, and dizziness upon turning his head to the left. A transcranial doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of Bow Hunter's syndrome. Systemic Review—We analyzed the data on 153 patients with Bow Hunter's syndrome from the literature. An osteophyte was the most common cause of vertebral artery occlusion, and left vertebral artery was more commonly involved in patients with Bow Hunter's syndrome. Dynamic angiography was the definitive imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis, and surgery was most successful in alleviating symptoms. Conclusion—We believe that this is the first case of iatrogenic Bow Hunter's syndrome after surgical intervention for an aneurysm repair, and the largest review of literature of Bow Hunter's syndrome. Dynamic angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of Bow Hunter's syndrome. Surgery should be considered as the primary treatment approach in these patients, especially those who have bony compression as the etiology.

description: In this paper, we study how the distribution of net charges in carbon nanotubes can be influenced by substrate and external electric fields, using theoretical calculations based on an extension of the atomic charge-dipole model. We find that the charge enhancement becomes less significant when the tube gets closer to substrate or when the dielectric constant of substrate increases. It is demonstrated that net charges can be shifted to one side of tube by longitudinal electric fields and the polarity of charges can be locally changed, while transversal fields give much less influence on the charge enhancement. These properties could be generalized for other metallic or semiconducting nano/microwires and tubes.

Images were selected from MMA embolization procedures in order to illustrate thetechnique.Results— We describe in detail our technique of MMA embolization using 100-300 μm Embosphere® microspheres for treating cSDH along with pearls and pitfalls to look out for to avoid complications. We provideangiogram images demonstrating the MMA anatomy, potential dangerous anastomosis, contrast enhancement patternof the subdural membranes during angiography and post-procedure CT head findings.Conclusion— MMA embolization with 100-300 μm Embosphere® microspheres for treating cSDH is technicallyfeasible and safe.

description: The exclusive processes in electron-proton ($ep$) interactions are an important tool to investigate the QCD dynamics at high energies as they are in general driven by the gluon content of proton which is strongly subject to parton saturation effects. In this paper we compute the cross sections for the exclusive vector meson production as well as the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) relying on the color dipole approach and considering the numerical solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation including running coupling corrections. We show that the small-$x$ evolution given by this evolution equation is able to describe the DESY-HERA data and is relevant for the physics of the exclusive observables in future electron-proton colliders and in photoproduction processes to be measured in coherent interactions at the LHC.

description: Cold atoms provide a unique arena to study many-body systems far from equilibrium. Furthermore, novel phases in cold atom systems are conveniently investigated by dynamical probes pushing the system out of equilibrium. Here, we discuss the pumping of doubly-occupied sites in a fermionic Mott insulator by a periodic modulation of the hopping amplitude. We show that deep in the insulating phase the many-body system can be mapped onto an effective two-level system which performs coherent Rabi oscillations due to the driving. Coupling the two-level system to the remaining degrees of freedom renders the Rabi oscillations damped. We compare this scheme to an alternative description where the particles are incoherently pumped into a broad continuum.
