Analysis of the regulation of biological networks using quantitative proteomics
Creators: name: Kristensen, Anders Riis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: A protein network can be thought of as a graph with nodes and edges, where nodes represent proteins and edges represent protein-protein interactions. Neither proteins nor their interactions are stable constituents in the cell; they are constantly changing in response to external stimulation or internal programming. Changes in protein expression are regulated by transcription, translation and protein degradation, whereas protein interaction changes have been shown in focused studies to be regulated by post translational modification. To investigate the processes influencing the regulation of protein expression and interaction changes, mass spectrometry based proteomics was applied because it has two key advantages for the study of protein networks: 1) it directly detects peptides from the proteins, and so does not rely on antibodies or the generation of fusion proteins; 2) by combining mass spectrometry based proteomics with quantitative techniques, such as stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), it is possible to quantify thousands of proteins in a single experiment. Here a systems biology approach was applied to investigate protein expression change, synthesis and degradation of proteins during cellular differentiation in two different cell lines. This allowed observing that protein expression during cellular differentiation is largely controlled by changes in the relative synthesis rate, whereas the relative degradation rate of the majority of proteins changed little. By comparing the data with previously published data of mRNA levels, there could be provide strong evidence that the generally poor correlation observed between transcript and protein levels can be explained once the protein synthesis and degradation rates are taken into account. To study how protein interactions change in response to perturbation, a novel approach was developed combining size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and protein correlation profiling (PCP)-SILAC. Stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF) caused 351 proteins to alter their interactions with other proteins and, interestingly, when compared to previously published phosphorylation data, these proteins tended to also have altered phosphorylation under similar experimental conditions. This approach allowed identification of protein interactions in numbers comparable to other high throughput techniques, but also enabled quantification of protein stoichiometry between proteins participating in multiple complexes.

description: Coherent interactions that generate negligible entanglement can still exhibit unique quantum behaviour. This observation has motivated a search beyond entanglement for a complete description of all quantum correlations. Quantum discord is a promising candidate. Here, we demonstrate that under certain measurement constraints, discord between bipartite systems can be consumed to encode information that can only be accessed by coherent quantum interactions. The inability to access this information by any other means allows us to use discord to directly quantify this `quantum advantage'. We experimentally encode information within the discordant correlations of two separable Gaussian states. The amount of extra information recovered by coherent interaction is quantified and directly linked with the discord consumed during encoding. No entanglement exists at any point of this experiment. Thus we introduce and demonstrate an operational method to use discord as a physical resource.

description: In earlier work, we constructed invariants of irreducible representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface. We introduce here an inverse construction, which to a set of possible invariants associates an irreducible representation that realizes these invariants. The current article is restricted to surfaces with at least one puncture, a condition that will be lifted in subsequent work of the authors that relies on this one. A step in the proof is of independent interest, and describes the algebraic structure of the Thurston intersection form on the space of integer weight systems for a train track.

All is one : becoming Indigenous and Baha'i in global North America
Creators: name: Horton, Chelsea Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This study offers fresh perspective on Indigenous identity, conversion, and community. It does so through the little-studied lens of the Baha’i Faith, a religion of mid-nineteenth-century Iranian origin based on principles of oneness and a global vision of “unity in diversity.” Several thousand Indigenous people “declared” (or converted, as other faiths more commonly put it) as Baha’is in North America during the second half of the twentieth century. This study considers, by way of oral history, how and why Indigenous individuals from a broad range of backgrounds in both Canada and the United States, people who now share a sense of community, became Baha’is in this period. It demonstrates the dynamic interplay between their practices of Indigenous identities and of the Baha’i religion. Indeed, challenging conventional (and colonial) readings of Indigenous conversion and identity, which frame the first as assimilation and the second as static, this study illustrates that for many Indigenous adherents the process of becoming Baha’i was at once a process of becoming Indigenous. For some, becoming a Baha’i served to strengthen an existing sense of self as Indigenous, outside colonial strictures. For others, it was in fact through their Baha’i observance that they came to openly identify as Indigenous for the first time. Baha’i declaration and practice also brought adherents into new Indigenous and intercultural interaction, both in and outside the Baha’i community. Indigenous Baha’is often worked to realize their religious vision of peace and unity in diversity through outreach and service among other Indigenous people, in North America and elsewhere. In the process, they produced a sense of global Indigenous identification and made multiple contributions to such fields as Indigenous health, education, and cultural revitalization. In building Baha’i community, specifically, they also forged striking relationships of mutual respect with non-Indigenous adherents, while also confronting colonial tensions of intercultural communication and normative patterns of non-Indigenous practice and privilege. This study, then, further illuminates the pain and the promise of forging unity in diversity in Indigenous, and global, North America.

description: The first known primate fossil from the Atlantic Coastal Plain, a mandibular fragment representing the family Omomyidae, is described from the early Eocene Fisher/Sullivan Site in northeastern Virginia. The jaw, containing m1–m2, was found near the base of the Potapaco Member, Bed B, of the Nanjemoy Formation, indicating an early Ypresian age, ca. 54.5 Ma. As the specimen lacks diagnostic antemolar dentition, its precise identity cannot be confidently determined. However, its diminutive size and plesiomorphic molar morphology suggest that it represents a primitive omomyid. Comparison with a diversity of omomyids finds that nearly all omomyid genera are larger and/or derived in various features compared to the Nanjemoy specimen. Closest resemblances are to the primitive omomyids Steinius, Anemorhysis, Loveina, Melaneremia, and especially Teilhardina.

description: Consider a discrete-time system in which a centralized controller (CC) is tasked with assigning at each time interval (or slot) K resources (or servers) to K out of M>=K nodes. When assigned a server, a node can execute a task. The tasks are independently generated at each node by stochastically symmetric and memoryless random processes and stored in a finite-capacity task queue. Moreover, they are time-sensitive in the sense that within each slot there is a non-zero probability that a task expires before being scheduled. The scheduling problem is tackled with the aim of maximizing the number of tasks completed over time (or the task-throughput) under the assumption that the CC has no direct access to the state of the task queues. The scheduling decisions at the CC are based on the outcomes of previous scheduling commands, and on the known statistical properties of the task generation and expiration processes. Based on a Markovian modeling of the task generation and expiration processes, the CC scheduling problem is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) that can be cast into the framework of restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) problems. When the task queues are of capacity one, the optimality of a myopic (or greedy) policy is proved. It is also demonstrated that the MP coincides with the Whittle index policy. For task queues of arbitrary capacity instead, the myopic policy is generally suboptimal, and its performance is compared with an upper bound obtained through a relaxation of the original problem. Overall, the settings in this paper provide a rare example where a RMAB problem can be explicitly solved, and in which the Whittle index policy is proved to be optimal.

description: Here, we report new dental remains of a large giraffid from the Late Miocene of Pakistan. The new material improves our knowledge of the dental morphology of this extinct sivatherine giraffid, as it sheds light on intra-clade morphological variability within Late Miocene sivatherine giraffids. Fossils were recovered from sediments within the Nagri and Dhok Pathan formations (Middle Siwaliks, Late Miocene) from the sites Nagri, Dhok Pathan, Kauliar and Padhri in Pakistan. Presence of these fossils in Late Miocene sediments in Pakistan demonstrates the stratigraphic range of Bramatherium grande, which was present in the Indo-Pakistani region and the Greco-Iranian region from 11.2 to ca. 3.4 Ma and 11.2 to 9.0 Ma, respectively. The new fossils provide additional data that help resolve the phylogenetic relationships of these large Late Miocene sivatheres. The new findings highlight the presence of Bramatherium grande in the Indo-Pakistani region during the Late Miocene and provide evidence for the synonymy of Bramatherium grande and Bramatherium magnum, with Bramatherium grande having priority.
Modelling non-linear redshift-space distortions in the galaxy clustering pattern: systematic errors on the growth rate parameter

description: We investigate the ability of state-of-the-art redshift-space distortions models for the galaxy anisotropic two-point correlation function ξ(r_p, π), to recover precise and unbiased estimates of the linear growth rate of structure f, when applied to catalogues of galaxies characterised by a realistic bias relation. To this aim, we make use of a set of simulated catalogues at z = 0.1 and z = 1 with different luminosity thresholds, obtained by populating dark-matter haloes from a large N-body simulation using halo occupation prescriptions. We examine the most recent developments in redshift-space distortions modelling, which account for non-linearities on both small and intermediate scales produced respectively by randomised motions in virialised structures and non-linear coupling between the density and velocity fields. We consider the possibility of including the linear component of galaxy bias as a free parameter and directly estimate the growth rate of structure f. Results are compared to those obtained using the standard dispersion model, over different ranges of scales.We find that the model of Taruya et al. (2010), the most sophisticated one considered in this analysis, provides in general the most unbiased estimates of the growth rate of structure, with systematic errors within 4% over a wide range of galaxy populations spanning luminosities between L > L* and L > 3L*. The scale-dependence of galaxy bias plays a role on recovering unbiased estimates of f when fitting quasi non-linear scales. Its effect is particularly severe for most luminous galaxies, for which systematic effects in the modelling might be more difficult to mitigate and have to be further investigated. [...]

description: Here we report a new cricetid s.l., Caecocricetodon yani, gen. et sp. nov., discovered in the early Oligocene of the Caijiachong Formation in Yunnan Province, China. The new cricetid differs from all known cricetids or stem muroids by its particular molar pattern displaying numerous crests and spurs. Our phylogenetic analysis based on a matrix including 42 taxa and 72 characters indicates that the new species has a close relationship with Paracricetodontinae, forming a monophyletic clade with Paracricetodon and Trakymys. The new cricetid also has a likely close relationship with Pappocricetodon. However, the genus Pappocricetodon is polyphyletic in our analysis. Considering the similarity of the brachydont lophodont teeth of Caecocricetodon and glirids, we propose that the new species underwent convergent evolution with dormice, possibly adapting to an arboreal ecological niche in Oligocene of southern China.
Traveling fronts guided by the environment for reaction-diffusion equations

description: This paper deals with the existence of traveling fronts guided by the medium for a KPP reaction-diffusion equation coming from a model in population dynamics in which there is spatial spreading as well as genetic mutation of a quantitative genetic trait that has a locally preferred value. The goal is to understand spreading and invasions in this heterogeneous context. We prove the existence of a threshold value on the existence of a nonzero asymptotic profile (a stationary limiting solution). When a nonzero asymptotic profile exists, we prove the existence of a traveling front. This allows us to completely identify the behavior of the solution of the parabolic problem in the KPP case. We also study here the bistable case. The equation provides a general framework for a model of cortical spreading depressions in the brain. We prove the existence of traveling front if the area where theere is reaction is large enough and the non-existence if it is too small.

description: In this work we investigate the quantum theory of scalar fields propagating in a $D-$dimensional de Sitter spacetime. The method of dynamic invariants is used to obtain the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The quantum behavior of the scalar field in this background is analyzed, and the results generalize previous ones found in the literature. We point that the Bunch-Davies thermal bath depends on the choice of $D$ and the conformal parameter $ξ$. This is important in extra dimension physics, as in the Randall-Sundrum model.

description: In the context of the MSSM the Light Stop Scenario (LSS) is the only region of parameter space that allows for successful Electroweak Baryogenesis (EWBG). This possibility is very phenomenologically attractive, since it allows for the direct production of light stops and could be tested at the LHC. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have recently supplied tantalizing hints for a Higgs boson with a mass of ~ 125 GeV. This Higgs mass severely restricts the parameter space of the LSS, and we discuss the specific predictions made for EWBG in the MSSM. Combining data from all the available ATLAS and CMS Higgs searches reveals a tension with the predictions of EWBG even at this early stage. This allows us to exclude EWBG in the MSSM at greater than (90) 95% confidence level in the (non-)decoupling limit, by examining correlations between different Higgs decay channels. We also examine the exclusion without the assumption of a ~ 125 GeV Higgs. The Higgs searches are still highly constraining, excluding the entire EWBG parameter space at greater than 90% CL except for a small window of m_h ~ 117 - 119 GeV.

description: We present an asymptotic analysis of the effects of rapid rotation on the ground state properties of a superfluid confined in a two-dimensional trap. The trapping potential is assumed to be radial and homogeneous of degree larger than two in addition to a quadratic term. Three critical rotational velocities are identified, marking respectively the first appearance of vortices, the creation of a `hole' of low density within a vortex lattice, and the emergence of a giant vortex state free of vortices in the bulk. These phenomena have previously been established rigorously for a `flat' trap with fixed boundary but the `soft' traps considered in the present paper exhibit some significant differences, in particular the giant vortex regime, that necessitate a new approach. These differences concern both the shape of the bulk profile and the size of vortices relative to the width of the annulus where the bulk of the superfluid resides. Close to the giant vortex transition the profile is of Thomas-Fermi type in `flat' traps, whereas it is gaussian for soft traps, and the `last' vortices to survive in the bulk before the giant vortex transition are small relative to the width of the annulus in the former case but of comparable size in the latter.

description: In applied sciences, we often deal with deterministic simulation models that are too slow for simulation-intensive tasks such as calibration or real-time control. In this paper, an emulator for a generic dynamic model, given by a system of ordinary non-linear differential equations, is developed. The non-linear differential equations are linearized and Gaussian white noise is added to account for the non-linearities. The resulting linear stochastic system is conditioned on a set of solutions of the non-linear equations that have been calculated prior to the emulation. A path-integral approach is used to derive the Gaussian distribution of the emulated solution. The solution reveals that most of the computational burden can be shifted to the conditioning phase of the emulator and the complexity of the actual emulation step only scales like $\mathcal O(Nn)$ in multiplications of matrices of the dimension of the state space. Here, $N$ is the number of time-points at which the solution is to be emulated and $n$ the number of solutions the emulator is conditioned on. The applicability of the algorithm is demonstrated with the hydrological model logSPM.

Thanks for the memory failures : priming memory fallibility and interpretations of prospective and retrospective memory failures
Creators: name: Crease, Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Retrospective memory is the cognitive function associated with recalling details from the past, (e.g., someone’s name) whereas prospective memory is the cognitive function associated with recalling an intention or plan in the future (e.g., attending a meeting). There is an interesting hypothesis that states prospective memory failures (e.g., forgetting about a meeting) tend to be interpreted as personality flaws while retrospective memory failures (e.g., forgetting someone’s name) tend to be interpreted as simply memory breakdowns. Recent research has supported this hypothesis, however little is known about the properties of the memory failures that might influence the biases in interpretations or the underlying cognitive processes of the effect. Three experiments were designed to address these important issues. The first experiment examined sociality and importance of the memory failures as potential properties influencing interpretations. Participants were presented with memory failure vignettes that varied on these dimensions, and the bias towards personality flaw interpretations of prospective memory failures only occurred memory failures were social in nature. Furthermore, the effect was slightly weakened by the perspective from which the vignettes were written (the participant’s perspective). The second experiment developed a priming procedure that successfully induced a sense of self-perceived memory fallibility by requiring participants to generate examples of prospective and retrospective memory failures they had committed. In the third experiment this priming procedure was implemented prior to vignette interpretations with the objective of manipulating the interpretations bias. The results of Experiment 3 indicated that the priming manipulation reduced differences in the interpretations participants offered for prospective versus retrospective memory failures, particularly in terms of the seriousness, personality flaw, and poor memory interpretations of prospective failures. These results suggest that the priming procedure facilitated empathy the protagonist, and in this way reduced this interpretation bias.

description: We study distances of propagation and the group velocities of the muon neutrinos in the presence of mixing and oscillations assuming that Lorentz invariance holds. Oscillations lead to distortion of the $ν_μ$ wave packet which, in turn, changes the group velocity and the distance $ν_μ$ travels. We find that the change of the distance, $d_{osc}$, is proportional to the length of the wave packet, $σ_x$, and the oscillation phase, $ϕ_p$, acquired by neutrinos in the $π-$ and $K-$ meson decay tunnel where neutrino wave packet is formed: $d_{osc} \propto σϕ_p$. Although the distance $d_{osc}$ may effectively correspond to the superluminal motion, the effect is too tiny ($\sim 10^{- 5}$ cm) to be reconciled with the OPERA result. We analyze various possibilities to increase $d_{osc}$ and discuss experimental setups in which $d_{osc}$ (corresponding to the superluminal motion) can reach an observable value $\sim 1$ m.

description: We present a highly general implementation of fast multipole methods on graphics processing units (GPUs). Our two-dimensional double precision code features an asymmetric type of adaptive space discretization leading to a particularly elegant and flexible implementation. All steps of the multipole algorithm are efficiently performed on the GPU, including the initial phase which assembles the topological information of the input data. Through careful timing experiments we investigate the effects of the various peculiarities of the GPU architecture.

description: Governments around the world are adopting facial recognition technology (FRT) to improve public services and law enforcement. Past research has shown that such applications may result in discriminatory effects and threaten privacy. This study shines light on the question of what drives public opinion regarding FRT in different socio-political contexts. Based on an online survey and semi-structured interviews, this study finds that citizens in China, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States differ in their acceptance of the official public use of FRT. China has the highest approval rates, Germany and the US have the lowest, and the UK lies in the middle. Our results show that people are generally more willing to accept FRT in public spheres when they trust government institutions, believe the technology should be managed by the central government, and have an affinity for technology. People's awareness of a country's previous history of surveillance further shapes their perceptions of FRT. Across all four countries, we also show that privacy concerns, especially of FRT compromising one's privacy, have the biggest influence on respondents' attitudes. Expanding on existing research into FRT acceptance and usage, our results suggest that policymakers urgently need to address the current regulatory vacuum.
Smart Timer System For Industrial Automation System

description: Industries often face stringent regulations that limit water consumption to control resource use andsupport environmental sustainability. Meeting these limits, such as the government-imposedrestriction of 25 kiloliters (KL) per day, requires efficient automation systems capable of monitoringand managing water usage effectively. This project presents a ”Smart Timer System for IndustrialAutomation,” designed to automate motor control to help industries comply with these regulatorystandards. This system offers a solution by implementing an automated timer that allows a waterpump motor to operate for a total of 2.5 hours within a 24-hour period. The system is particularlyrelevant in today’s world, where energy efficiency and smart technology are becoming increasinglyimportant. In educational institutions, for example, lights and fans are often left runningunintentionally, leading to unnecessary energy consumption. This system enables real-time monitoringand control of such devices, ensuring they are only used when needed. By integrating IoT technology,the system not only reduces energy waste but also provides a scalable solution for managingappliances in large institutions or homes. The ability toUsing precise timing mecha nisms, the system accumulates operational minutes each time the motorruns, ensuring that once the cumulativeruntime reaches the limit, the motor is disabled, preventing further operation and avoidingoverconsumption. Key features of this system include real-time monitoring, usage tracking, and adaily reset mechanism.At midnight, the system automatically resets the usage counter, enabling the motor to operate withinthe defined time window for the new day. The ”Working Time Model,” a crucial component of thesystem, records the motor’s working time in real-time, adding up each usage session until the 2.5-hourthreshold is reached. Additionally, the Smart Timer System integrates an AC power supply and anoptocoupler to provide isolation and feedback, ensuring safe and reliable operation. This projectemploys the PIC18F24K22 micro controller, programmed in C, which efficiently handles controloperations and timing management. The proposed system not only enhances compliance with waterusage reg ulations but also reduces manual intervention, increasing operational efficiency. With itsautomated tracking and disabling features, the Smart Timer System for Industrial Automation offersindustries a streamlined and effective way to meet regulatory limits, conserve water, and minimizeenvironmental impact, setting a standard for automated industrial resource management.

Noise-stability and central limit theorems for effective resistance of random electric networks

description: We investigate the (generalized) Walsh decomposition of point-to-point effective resistances on countable random electric networks with i.i.d. resistances. We show that it is concentrated on low levels, and thus point-to-point effective resistances are uniformly stable to noise. For graphs that satisfy some homogeneity property, we show in addition that it is concentrated on sets of small diameter. As a consequence, we compute the right order of the variance and prove a central limit theorem for the effective resistance through the discrete torus of side length $n$ in $\mathbb {Z}^d$, when $n$ goes to infinity.

Nematic phase and phase separation near saturation field in frustrated ferromagnets

description: We study the effects of quantum fluctuations in magnetic properties of quantum frustrated ferromagnets in a magnetic field. It is shown that a non-classical phase or a phase separation appears due to quantum fluctuations below the saturation field in a parameter range close to the classical zero-field phase boundary between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases, for the case that the classical antiferromagnetic state is not an eigenstate of the quantum model. As an example to which this argument is applicable, we study the S=1/2 J1-J2 Heisenberg model with ferromagnetic J1 (J1<0) on the bcc lattice using a dilute Bose gas approach. For -1.50097 < J1/J2 < -1.389, magnons form f-wave two-magnon bound states, leading to a spin nematic phase, and for -1.389 < J1/J2 < -0.48 a canted coplanar antiferromagnetic phase appears accompanied with a phase separation below the saturation field.
