description: We present a simple physical model of the central source emission in the M87 galaxy. It is well known that the observed X-ray luminosity from this galactic nucleus is much lower than the predicted one, if a standard radiative efficiency is assumed. Up to now the main model invoked to explain such a luminosity is the ADAF (Advection-Dominated-Accretion-Flow) model. Our approach supposes only a simple axis-symmetric adiabatic accretion with a low angular momentum together with the bremsstrahlung emission process in the accreting gas. With no other special hypothesis on the dynamics of the system, this model agrees well enough with the luminosity value measured by Chandra.

description: Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) work under sophisticated external force field and its electrochemical properties could be modulated by strain. Owing to the electro-mechanical coupling, the change of micro-local-structures can greatly affect lithium (Li) diffusion rate in solid state electrolytes and electrode materials of LIBs. In this study, we find that strain gradient in bilayer graphene (BLG) significantly affects Li diffusion barrier, which is termed as the flexo-diffusion effect, through first-principles calculations. The Li diffusion barrier substantially decreases/increases under the positive/negative strain gradient, leading to the change of Li diffusion coefficient in several orders of magnitude at 300 K. Interestingly, the regulation effect of strain gradient is much more significant than that of uniform strain field, which can have a remarkable effect on the rate performance of batteries, with a considerable increase in the ionic conductivity and a slight change of the original material structure. Moreover, our ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD) show that the asymmetric distorted lattice structure provides a driving force for Li diffusion, resulting in oriented diffusion along the positive strain gradient direction. These findings could extend present LIBs technologies by introducing the novel strain gradient engineering.

EFFECTS OF TIME TO FIRST FEEDING AND OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ON THE SURVIVAL AND GROWTH OF ZEBRAFISH (DANIO RERIO) LARVAE
Creators: name: Lucore, Emma
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: There is high mortality during the early life stages of many fish species. The ability of larvae to overcome this mortality is key to survival and study of factors that affect mortality is ecologically and commercially significant. If food is not available during this early stage, larvae will reach a point at which they are no longer able to feed even when food becomes available, known as the Point of No Return (PNR). Past studies on PNR have been used to predict fish yields in hatcheries and are conducted on commercially valuable fish. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a more ecologically relevant model organism. By delaying the onset of feeding in zebrafish, we can determine their PNR. Results indicate that the PNR in zebrafish is at 9 days post fertilization and that observations of conspecifics is important for the acquisition of feeding behavior.

description: Coherence and correlation are key features of the quantum system. Quantifying these quantities are astounding task in the framework of resource theory of quantum information processing. In this article, we identify an affinity-based metric to quantify closeness between two states. Using this metric, we introduce a valid quantum coherence measure. It is shown that the affinity based coherence measure is bounded by that based on fidelity and trace distance. Further, we propose a bipartite quantum correlation measure based on the affinity metric. The connection between the quantum correlation of states and its local coherence is established. The measure of quantumness in terms of difference of bipartite coherence and corresponding product state coherence is also identified. Finally, we interpret the operational meaning of the affinity based coherence as an upper bound of interferometric power of the quantum state.

Chain Galaxies in the Tadpole ACS Field

description: Colors and magnitudes were determined for 69 chain galaxies, 58 other linear structures, 32 normal edge-on galaxies, and all of their large star formation clumps in the HST ACS field of the Tadpole galaxy. Redshifts of 0.5 to 2 are inferred from comparisons with published color-evolution models. The linear galaxies have no red nuclear bulges like the normal disk galaxies in our field, but the star formation clumps in each have about the same colors and magnitudes. Light profiles along the linear galaxies tend to be flat, unlike the exponential profiles of normal galaxies. Although the most extreme of the linear objects look like beaded filaments, they are all probably edge-on disks that will evolve to late Hubble type galaxies. The lack of an exponential profile is either the result of a dust scale height that is comparable to the stellar scale height, or an intrinsically irregular structure. Examples of galaxies that could be face-on versions of linear galaxies are shown. They have an irregular clumpy structure with no central bulge and with clump colors and magnitudes that are comparable to those in the linears. Radiative transfer solutions to the magnitudes and surface brightnesses of inclined dusty galaxies suggest that edge-on disks should become more prominent near the detection limit for surface brightness. The surface brightness distribution of the edge-on galaxies in this field confirm this selection effect. The star formation regions are much more massive than in modern galaxies, averaging up to 10^9 Msun for kpc scales.

description: Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of reported dysphagia and associated pneumonia risk among patients with stroke in India. Method: We carried out a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The primary outcome of interest was dysphagia and pneumonia among patients with stroke in India. Two review authors independently assessed the quality of studies using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale and extracted related data. Meta-analysis was performed for frequency of dysphagia, associated pneumonia, and its relative risk using a random-effects model. Statistical heterogeneity was computed using the I2 index.Results: A total of 3,644 titles were screened, and only eight studies met our inclusion criteria. Based on data from these studies, we calculated the pooled prevalence of dysphagia (47.71%; 95% confidence interval [CI] [20.49%, 70.92%], p < .001) and pneumonia (20.43%; 95% CI [10.73%, 30.14%], p < .001) for patients with stroke in India. We found that the relative risks of pneumonia in patients with stroke and dysphagia versus those patients with stroke and no dysphagia was 9.41 (95% CI [5.60, 15.80], p < .001). Data on length of hospital stay and rates of mortality secondary to pneumonia are also presented.Conclusions: Despite the high incidence of dysphagia and associated pneumonia, the methodological quality of studies is fair and there is little research focused on epidemiological data. We call to arms to those SLPs working with patients with stroke in India to become proactive in both clinical practice and research domains.

description: In this paper, we derive the exact risk (under quadratic loss) of pre-test estimators of the prediction vector and error variance of a linear regression model whose errors are assumed to be normally distributed but in fact follow a multivariate Student-t distribution. The pre-test in question is one of the validity of a set of exact linear restrictions on the model's coefficient vector. We demonstrate how the known results for the model with normal disturbances can be extended to this broader case. Numerical evaluations of the risk expressions suggest that misspecifying the error distribution in this way does not, qualitatively, affect the risk properties of the estimators.

description: Our group has been assigned the task of developing a definition of food security for the UBC campus, given that it is of the utmost importance for UBC to strive towards sustainability. In order to effectively carry out this assignment, we have designed a model of sustainability that reflects our problem definition, value assumptions, and chosen economic, ecological, and social indicators. We have selected our economic indicator to measure the difference in cost between nutritious foods found on-campus with those same foods found off-campus. Our ecological indicator of choice is food mileage, which will be measured through the Weighted Average Source Distance method. We have also developed a questionnaire for our social indicator that will measure the perceived availability, acceptability, and accessibility of food to those who access the UBC Food Supply the most: students, permanent residents, faculty, and staff. Our group has also investigated the possible differences between food security as it pertains to students in residence and food security for people who live off campus. This led us to inquire further about the role that AMS Food Services, UBC Food Services, and other stakeholders, play in campus food security. Lastly, we have reviewed recent developments on food policy within the City of Vancouver and the work conducted on food security at UBC by previous groups of students in the Land, Food and Community courses within the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, and provided recommendations for further action and research in the UBC Food System Project.

It examines calculation methods that have become available since the publication of the previous paper, some of which claim improvements over previous calculations; it tests them with statistical methods against the same sample of experimental data collected for the previous evaluation. No statistically significant improvements are observed with respect to the calculation method identified in the previous paper as the state of the art for the intended purpose, encoded in the EPDL97 data library. Some of the more recent computational methods exhibit significantly lower capability to reproduce experimental measurements than the existing alternatives.

description: Impulses efficiently propagate into nominally dry granular beds and backscatter from buried inclusions in such beds may be potentially exploited to image shallow buried objects (SBOs). However, reliable imaging of SBOs requires ``cleaning up'' of surface vibrations, and, in addition to 3D particle dynamics simulations, a phenomenological model to parameterize the bed surface may be useful for field applications. We introduce a 1D mean-field-like toy model with two parameters that allows one to model surface vibrations, is consistent with experiments in a granular bed, and can help estimate the approximate signal transmission properties of the bed.

description: We consider the Farey fraction spin chain, a one-dimensional model defined on (the matrices generating) the Farey fractions. We extend previous work on the thermodynamics of this model by introducing an external field $h$. From rigorous and renormalization group arguments, we determine the phase diagram and phase transition behavior of the extended model. Our results are fully consistent with scaling theory (for the case when a "marginal" field is present) despite the unusual nature of the transition for h=0.

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS OF RILUZOLE EXPOSURES IN WT AND SOD1 MUTANT ZEBRAFISH
Creators: name: Wensel, Karli
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Despite the growing use and characterization of the SOD1G93R mutant zebrafish ALS model, there is a lack of degeneration studies during chronic riluzole treatment. Most studies have focused on comparing the mutant zebrafish to control lines to show there is indeed development of ALS-like symptoms during their growth. This is the first study to treat SOD1 fish with 1 µM and 0.5 µM riluzole, chronically and for 1-week, respectively. At 10, 20, and 30 dpf, OMR, startle response, swimming activity, and body length were measured. SOD1G93R fish did not survive either of the two riluzole treatment conditions, whereas chronically riluzole-treated WT fish survived better than water- or vehicle-treated controls. SOD1G93R larvae exposed to vehicle for one week moved 0.999 mm more than chronically vehicle-treated (p = 0.015). When chronically-exposed to 1 µM riluzole, zebrafish larvae swam significantly less than water-treated (0.92 s, p = 0.019) and vehicle-treated fish (1.03 s, p = 0.012). SOD1G93R fish exposed to 1 week of 0.5 µM vehicle moved 0.98 mm/s slower than WT zebrafish in the same treatment condition (p = 0.001). Startle responses and OMR tests revealed no differences across treatments, however SOD1G93R fish responded significantly worse to clockwise stimuli than WT fish. Behavioral alterations due to strain and treatment were detectable in this study, but the spawning sensitivity of SOD1 mutants and their poor survival in riluzole presented difficulties that should be considered in future studies.
Long-term prediction intervals of economic time series

description: We construct long-term prediction intervals for time-aggregated future values of univariate economic time series. We propose computational adjustments of the existing methods to improve coverage probability under a small sample constraint. A pseudo-out-of-sample evaluation shows that our methods perform at least as well as selected alternative methods based on model-implied Bayesian approaches and bootstrapping. Our most successful method yields prediction intervals for eight macroeconomic indicators over a horizon spanning several decades.
title: Characterization of a Pfemp1 variant from a P. falciparum field is isolate and the development of anti-Pfemp1 antibodies
Creators: name: Kifude, Carolyne Musoriza

description: Rosetting (binding of infected erythrocytes to uninfected ones) is a parasite adhesion phenotype thought to be mediated by Plasmodium falciparum membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). Despite the association between rosetting and severe malaria in Africa, rosette-mediating PfEMP1 variants from African-derived strains are yet to be characterized.

I initially attempted to detect the predominantly expressed var genes in five recently culture-adapted Kenyan P. falciparum isolates selected for rosetting. Unfortunately no clear rosetting-associated genes could be detected, possibly because of incomplete selection and lack of a clear phenotype in the selected parasites.

I then went on to study another Kenyan parasite line, SA075, whose predominant var gene tag had interesting sequence features previously linked to rosetting. Using PCR walking, cloning and sequencing, I identified the full-length var gene corresponding to this tag, called SA075var1. Subsequent experiments failed to confirm a role for the PfEMP1 variant encoded by SA075var1 in rosetting. However, SA075var1 had domain cassette DC 8-like features which have lately been linked to severe disease.

Antibodies raised in rabbits against recombinant proteins from domains of SA075var1 revealed functional antibodies with an ability to recognize the surface of parasite infected erthrocytes and to mediate phagocytosis. Although mainly variant-specific, the antibodies showed limited cross-reactivity with one other parasite strain.

Using plasma pairs from Kenyan malaria patients, I examined antibody responses against SA075 and four other rosetting P. falciparum strains selected to enrich for single rosette-mediating variants. Antibody responses were seen against particular rosette-elected strains suggesting that some variants may be important for particular severe malaria syndromes.

Overall, the data described in this thesis demonstrates the need for continued research into functional and immunological characterization of PfEMP1 variants, especially in field isolates. Antibody data however showed clinical relevance of some rosette-mediating variants that could become important targets for malaria intervention studies.

Non-perturbative path integral quantization of the electroweak model: the Maxwell integration

description: The non-perturbative path integral quantization of the electroweak model is confronted with an apparent instability when integrating over the Maxwell potential $A_μ$ due to the fast growth of the box graphs $AAAA$ and $AAAZ$ for large amplitude variations of $A_μ$. $Z_μ$ is from the vector part of the weak neutral current. These graphs are unavoidable because they are conditionally convergent and have to be isolated in the model's exact Euclidean one-loop effective action arising from its fermion determinants. A previous QED calculation of the large amplitude variation of its fermion determinant for a class of random potentials showed that the $AAAA$ box graph cancels in this limit. Using this result it is shown that within the electroweak model large amplitude variations of $A_μ$ for fixed $Z_μ$ in a superposition of these fields cancel the $AAAA$ and $AAAZ$ graphs, thereby removing an apparent obstacle to the model's non-perturbative quantization. A negative paramagnetic term in the remainder opposes the effective action's growth for such variations. Its calculation requires knowledge of the degeneracy of the bound states of a charged fermion in the four-dimensional magnetic fields generated by the functional measure of $A_μ$.
Antiferromagnetism and single-particle properties in the two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model: a non-linear sigma model approach

description: We describe a low-temperature approach to the two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model which allows us to study both antiferromagnetism and single-particle properties. This approach ignores amplitude fluctuations of the antiferromagnetic (AF) order parameter and is valid below a crossover temperature $T_X$ which marks the onset of AF short-range order. Directional fluctuations (spin waves) are described by a non-linear sigma model (NL$σ$M) that we derive from the Hubbard model. At zero temperature and weak coupling, our results are typical of a Slater antiferromagnet. The AF gap is exponentially small; there are well-defined Bogoliubov quasi-particles (QP's) (carrying most of the spectral weight) coexisting with a high-energy incoherent excitation background. As $U$ increases, the Slater antiferromagnet progressively becomes a Mott-Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The Bogoliubov bands evolve into Mott-Hubbard bands separated by a large AF gap. A significant fraction of spectral weight is transferred from the Bogoliubov QP's to incoherent excitations. At finite temperature, there is a metal-insulator transition between a pseudogap phase at weak coupling and a Mott-Hubbard insulator at strong coupling. Finally, we point out that our results straightforwardly translate to the half-filled attractive Hubbard model, where the ${\bf q}=(π,π)$ charge and ${\bf q}=0$ pairing fluctuations combine to form an order parameter with SO(3) symmetry.

description: Machine learning and deep learning techniques are contributing much to the advancement of science. Their powerful predictive capabilities appear in numerous disciplines, including chaotic dynamics, but they miss understanding. The main thesis here is that prediction and understanding are two very different and important ideas that should guide us about the progress of science. Furthermore, it is emphasized the important role played by that nonlinear dynamical systems for the process of understanding. The path of the future of science will be marked by a constructive dialogue between big data and big theory, without which we cannot understand.

description: General energy approaches have been applied to study the single-domain polarization reversal induced by the voltage-modulated Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in ferroelectric single crystals and thin films. Topographic analysis of energy surfaces in the subspace of domain dimensions is performed, and energy evolutions under an external bias are elucidated. This has let to successfully describe all stages of the AFM switching, including formations of a reversed domain, its growth in a bulk, domain contact instabilities near an electrode, and pure sidewise expansions in a film.
