Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Applications
Year: 2023

description: The healthcare sector in rural communities of Nigeria has the potential to benefit greatly from the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. By utilizing remote consultations to collect and transmit patient data, healthcare providers can improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery while reducing costs, especially for those who lack access to physical infrastructure. An IoT-based system has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery in rural areas, ensuring that high-quality healthcare is accessible to all and helping to address existing healthcare disparities. By using IoT technology, healthcare providers can remotely monitor patients, conduct virtual consultations, and deliver personalized care in a timely and efficient manner. This approach can also help to improve medical outcomes, reduce hospitalization rates, and increase patient satisfaction.
Overall, the integration of IoT technology into the healthcare sector in rural Nigeria can lead to positive healthcare outcomes and improved quality of life for patients.

description: Sidekick (Sdk) 1 and 2 are related immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion proteins required for appropriate synaptic connections between specific subtypes of retinal neurons. Sdks mediate cell-cell adhesion with homophilic specificity that underlies their neuronal targeting function. Here we report crystal structures of Sdk1 and Sdk2 ectodomain regions, revealing similar homodimers mediated by the four N-terminal immunoglobulin domains (Ig1–4), arranged in a horseshoe conformation. These Ig1–4 horseshoes interact in a novel back-to-back orientation in both homodimers through Ig1:Ig2, Ig1:Ig1 and Ig3:Ig4 interactions. Structure-guided mutagenesis results show that this canonical dimer is required for both Sdk-mediated cell aggregation (via trans interactions) and Sdk clustering in isolated cells (via cis interactions). Sdk1/Sdk2 recognition specificity is encoded across Ig1–4, with Ig1–2 conferring the majority of binding affinity and differential specificity. We suggest that competition between cis and trans interactions provides a novel mechanism to sharpen the specificity of cell-cell interactions.

description: Within the framework of generalized collinear factorization in perturbative QCD (pQCD), we study the effect of initial multiple parton scattering and induced parton energy loss in Drell-Yan (DY) process in proton-nucleus collisions. We express the contribution from multiple parton scattering and induced gluon radiation to the DY dilepton spectra in terms of nuclear modified effective beam quark distribution functions. The modification depends on the quark transport parameter in nuclear medium. This is similar to the final-state multiple parton scattering in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) off large nuclei and leads to the suppression of the Drell-Yan cross section in $p+A$ relative to $p+p$ collisions. With the value of quark transport parameter determined from the nuclear modification of single-inclusive DIS hadron spectra as measured by the HERMES experiment, we calculate DY spectra in $p+A$ collisions and find the nuclear suppression due to beam parton energy loss negligible at the Fermilab energy $E_{\rm lab}$=800 GeV in the kinematic region as covered by the E866 experiment. Most of the observed nuclear suppression of DY spectra in E866 experiment can be described well by parton shadowing in target nuclei as given by the EPS08 parameterization. The effect of beam parton energy loss, however, becomes significant for DY lepton pairs with large beam parton momentum fraction $x^{\prime}$ or small target parton momentum fraction $x$. We also predict the DY cross section in $p+A$ collisions at lower beam proton energy $E_{\rm lab}$=120 GeV and show significant suppression due to initial state parton energy loss at moderately large $x^{\prime}$ where the effect of parton shadowing is very small.

description: We investigate the holographic fermions in the charged Gauss-Bonnet $AdS_{d}$ black hole background with the dipole coupling between fermion and gauge field in the bulk. We show that in addition to the strength of the dipole coupling, the spacetime dimension and the higher curvature correction in the gravity background also influence the onset of the Fermi gap and the gap distance. We find that the higher curvature effect modifies the fermion spectral density and influences the value of the Fermi momentum for the appearance of the Fermi surface. There are richer physics in the boundary fermion system due to the modification in the bulk gravity.

description: In this letter we describe an infinite family of new N=1 AdS_5/CFT_4 dual pairs which arise from M5-branes wrapping Riemann surfaces in Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use the relevant brane constructions to compute the central charges of the infrared fixed points from the M5-brane anomaly polynomial. We then present AdS_5 x M_6 solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity which are dual to these CFTs at large N. Finally, we provide a purely four-dimensional field theory construction which flows to a special class of these fixed points. These theories will be further elaborated upon in a companion paper.

description: We consider the quasi-2D two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling in a rotating trap. An external Zeeman term favoring spin polarization along the radial direction is also considered, which has the same form as the non-canonical part of the mechanical angular momentum. The rotating condensate exhibits rich structures as varying the strengths of trapping potential and interaction. With a strong trapping potential, the condensate exhibits a half-quantum vortex-lattice configuration. Such a configuration is driven to the normal one by introducing the external radial Zeeman field. In the case of a weak trap potential, the condensate exhibits a multi-domain pattern of plane-wave states under the external radial Zeeman field.

description: Peer review is central scholarly practice that carries fundamental paradoxes from its inception. On the one hand, it is very difficult to open up peer review for the sake of empirical analysis, as it usually happens in closed black boxes of publishing and other gatekeeping workflows that are embedded in a myriad of disciplinary cultures, each of which comes very different, and usually competing notions of excellence. On the other hand, it is a practice that carries an enormous weight in terms of gatekeeping; shaping disciplines, publication patterns and power relations within academia. This central role of peer review alone explains why it is crucial to study to better understand situated evaluation practices, and to continually rethink them to strive for their best, and least imperfect (or reasonably imperfect) instances. How the notion of excellence and other peer review proxies are constructed and (re)negotiated in everyday practices across the SSH disciplines; who are involved in the processes and who remain out; what are the boundaries of peer review in terms of inclusiveness with content types; and how the processes are aligned or misaligned to research realities? What are the underlying reasons behind the persistence of certain proxies in the system and what are emerging trends and future innovations?
 To gain an in-depth understanding of these questions, as part of the H2020 project OPERAS-P, our task force collected and analysed 32 in-depth interviews with scholars about their motivations, challenges and experiences with novel practices in scholarly writing and in peer-review. The presentation will showcase the results of this study. Focus will be on the conflict between the richness of contemporary scholarship and the prestige economy that defines our current academic evaluation culture.
 The encoded and pseudonymized interview transcripts that form the basis of our analysis will be shared as open data in a certified data repository together with a rich documentation of the process so that our interpretations, conclusions and the resulting recommendations are clearly delineable from the rich input we had been working with and which are thus openly reusable for other purposes.

description: Solar hydrogen production via the photoelectrochemical water-splitting reaction is attractive as one of the environmental-friendly approaches for producing H₂. Since the reaction simultaneously generates H₂ and O₂, this method requires immediate H₂ recovery from the syngas including O₂ under high-humidity conditions around 50 °C. In this study, a supported mesoporous γ-Al₂O₃ membrane was modified with allyl-hydrido-polycarbosilane as a preceramic polymer and subsequently heat-treated in Ar to deliver a ternary SiCH organic–inorganic hybrid/γ-Al₂O₃ composite membrane. Relations between the polymer/hybrid conversion temperature, hydrophobicity, and H₂ affinity of the polymer-derived SiCH hybrids were studied to functionalize the composite membranes as H₂-selective under saturated water vapor partial pressure at 50 °C. As a result, the composite membranes synthesized at temperatures as low as 300–500 °C showed a H₂ permeance of 1.0–4.3 × 10⁻⁷ mol m⁻² s⁻¹ Pa⁻¹ with a H₂/N₂ selectivity of 6.0–11.3 under a mixed H₂-N₂ (2:1) feed gas flow. Further modification by the 120 °C-melt impregnation of low molecular weight polycarbosilane successfully improved the H₂-permselectivity of the 500 °C-synthesized composite membrane by maintaining the H₂ permeance combined with improved H₂/N₂ selectivity as 3.5 × 10⁻⁷ mol m⁻² s⁻¹ Pa⁻¹ with 36. These results revealed a great potential of the polymer-derived SiCH hybrids as novel hydrophobic membranes for purification of solar hydrogen.

description: We present a database, PrePPI (Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions), of more than 1.35 million predicted protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Of these at least 127,000 are expected to constitute direct physical interactions although the actual number may be much larger (~500,000). The current PrePPI, which contains predicted interactions for about 85% of the human proteome, is related to an earlier version but is based on additional sources of interaction evidence and is far larger in scope. The use of structural relationships allows PrePPI to infer numerous previously unreported interactions. PrePPI has been subjected to a series of validation tests including reproducing known interactions, recapitulating multi-protein complexes, analysis of disease associated SNPs, and identifying functional relationships between interacting proteins. We show, using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), that predicted interaction partners can be used to annotate a protein’s function. We provide annotations for most human proteins, including many annotated as having unknown function.

description: We present new upper limits for black hole masses in extremely late type spiral galaxies. We confirm that this class of galaxies has black holes with masses less than 10^6 Msolar, if any. We also derive new upper limits for nuclear star cluster (NC) masses in massive galaxies with previously determined black hole masses. We use the newly derived upper limits and a literature compilation to study the low mass end of the global-to-nucleus relations. We find the following (1) The M_BH-sigma relation cannot flatten at low masses, but may steepen. (2) The M_BH-M_bulge relation may well flatten in contrast. (3) The M_BH-Sersic n relation is able to account for the large scatter in black hole masses in low-mass disk galaxies. Outliers in the M_BH-Sersic n relation seem to be dwarf elliptical galaxies. When plotting M_BH versus M_NC we find three different regimes: (a) nuclear cluster dominated nuclei, (b) a transition region, and (c) black hole-dominated nuclei. This is consistent with the picture, in which black holes form inside nuclear clusters with a very low-mass fraction. They subsequently grow much faster than the nuclear cluster, destroying it when the ratio M_BH/M_NC grows above 100. Nuclear star clusters may thus be the precursors of massive black holes in galaxy nuclei.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Understanding the movements ('where' and when) and behaviour (what and, hopefully, why) of individuals and populations is key to answering fundamental questions in fish ecology. The use of archival tags in telemetry studies of marine fish have, by and large, involved recording simple measurements of variables such as pressure (giving depth), temperature and light over extended timescales. These have then been used to provide information about location and movement of individuals. However, our understanding of more complex behaviours (i.e. what fish are doing as different from spatial movements) has usually been inferred from movement data because it has not been possible to record directly specific behavioural events such as feeding or spawning. This is because the events are usually infrequent, irregular and often quite brief and so not amenable to a technology based on taking regular but infrequent records of continuously available variables. The recent implementation of new sensors (e.g. physical movement, tri-axial accelerometers), rapid (< 30 Hz) sampling capabilities, enhanced memory and more complex data capture protocols has lead to the development of archival tags that can be used to detect and record complex behaviours such as feeding and spawning. We describe recent developments with archival tags and their use to monitor feeding and spawning in fish together with the application of triaxial accelerometry that can be used to quantify behaviour and metabolic rate. These can then be used to assess the cost of behaviours with a view to understanding how appropriate they are as responses to environmental variability

description: When high-intensity laser interaction with matter enters the regime of dominated radiation reaction, the radiation losses open the way for producing short pulse high power gamma ray flashes. The gamma-ray pulse duration and divergence are determined by the laser pulse amplitude and by the plasma target density scale length. On the basis of theoretical analysis and particle-in-cell simulations with the radiation friction force incorporated, optimal conditions for generating a gamma-ray flash with a tailored overcritical density target are found.

description: Neurotransmitter maps are important complements to anatomical maps and represent an invaluable resource to understand nervous system function and development. We report here a comprehensive map of neurons in the C. elegans nervous system that contain the neurotransmitter GABA, revealing twice as many GABA-positive neuron classes as previously reported. We define previously unknown glia-like cells that take up GABA, as well as 'GABA uptake neurons' which do not synthesize GABA but take it up from the extracellular environment, and we map the expression of previously uncharacterized ionotropic GABA receptors. We use the map of GABA-positive neurons for a comprehensive analysis of transcriptional regulators that define the GABA phenotype. We synthesize our findings of specification of GABAergic neurons with previous reports on the specification of glutamatergic and cholinergic neurons into a nervous system-wide regulatory map which defines neurotransmitter specification mechanisms for more than half of all neuron classes in C. elegans.

description: Although most nephron segments contain one type of epithelial cell, the collecting ducts consists of at least two: intercalated (IC) and principal (PC) cells, which regulate acid-base and salt-water homeostasis, respectively. In adult kidneys, these cells are organized in rosettes suggesting functional interactions. Genetic studies in mouse revealed that transcription factor Tfcp2l1 coordinates IC and PC development. Tfcp2l1 induces the expression of IC specific genes, including specific H+-ATPase subunits and Jag1. Jag1 in turn, initiates Notch signaling in PCs but inhibits Notch signaling in ICs. Tfcp2l1 inactivation deletes ICs, whereas Jag1 inactivation results in the forfeiture of discrete IC and PC identities. Thus, Tfcp2l1 is a critical regulator of IC-PC patterning, acting cell-autonomously in ICs, and non-cell-autonomously in PCs. As a result, Tfcp2l1 regulates the diversification of cell types which is the central characteristic of 'salt and pepper' epithelia and distinguishes the collecting duct from all other nephron segments.
The development of a disinvestment framework to guide resource allocation decisions in health service delivery organizations
Creators: name: Schmidt, Diane E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Objective: Within publicly funded health care, there is an urgent need to reduce spending while maximizing benefits; however, processes to guide so-called disinvestment decisions are lacking. The purpose of this research is to develop a framework that will provide decision-makers with a more equitable approach to meeting budgetary constraints than current practices. Methods: Through a systematic review of the health care literature and a scoping review of the public sector and business literatures, a knowledge synthesis of disinvestment approaches was created, including analyses of current strategies and the modeling of appropriate processes. From this synthesis, a disinvestment framework has been developed. In collaboration with Chief Financial Officers from across Western Canada and an external reference group comprised of international researchers, the framework has been critiqued in keeping with current resource allocation practices. Results: Evidence from the two reviews revealed that while budgetary cutbacks are experienced across government, non-profit and the private sector, very few processes have been developed to identify and implement disinvestment options. In cases of budget re-allocation, program budgeting and marginal analysis (PBMA) was the most relevant framework described. However, PBMA fails to address stand-alone disinvestment requirements. Within the public sector and business literatures, cutback management and policy termination research offered strategies to mitigate barriers and facilitate implementation, however, details were absent. Drawing elements from the approaches identified in the reviews, and in collaboration with decision-makers and other researchers, a seven-step disinvestment framework was developed that can be incorporated into on-going priority setting practices or applied as a stand-alone activity. Conclusion: This work addresses a critical knowledge gap in how health service organizations approach disinvestment activities. The proposed framework provides detailed steps to equip health care decision makers with a clear and defined disinvestment process. Such a process will help to ensure limited funds are allocated based on evidence rather than across-the-board cuts or historical practices.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A migration study on the homing of Atlantic salmon was carried out in waters off SW – Iceland. Data was sampled on the salmon behaviour and environment during spawning migration in sea. New type of data storage tag was used to measure the earth‘s magnetic field and the tilt (in 3 directions) and paired information on fish depth (pressure) and correspondingly the temperature experienced. By taking advantage of this new research tool we have managed in this study to bring forward new information on salmon orientation. The study involves new approach in mapping information on behaviour and positioning of free ranging fish. Information already available from the study is showing that salmon migration behaviour changes when moving from offshore to inshore waters. We conclude that this stands for changes in the orientation behaviour of the salmon due to the increased use of olfactory sense in the inshore area. Based on that we recommend to divide the spawning migration in sea into three phases in relation to the different migration (orientation) behaviour in different sea area (offshore; inshore; estuary). Parallel to this finding is the fact that the directional geomagnetic recordings sampled during the migration of the salmon from release offshore to entry to their home river showed that fixed direction all the way from offshore to the home fjord area or home estuary could not explain their migration. Therefore we make that assumption that shoreline orientation is important in finding the way once the shore has been approached. The study setup has brought to shore many interesting recordings of new parameters on behaviour and environmental patterns that will be examined further later.

description: In his paper "A very simple solution to the OPERA neutrino velocity problem" the author J. Manuel Garcia-Islas claims to have very easily solved and explained within the general theory of relativity that OPERA's neutrinos are not traveling faster than the speed of light and the early time arrival is due to the presence of the Earth's gravitational field. In this letter we easily show that the argument by Garcia-Islas does not work. Although it looks that data suggesting that neutrinos can travel faster than light probably resulted from a faulty connection in a GPS timing system, it is important to clarify that, in any case, the general relativistic effect discussed by Garcia-Islas cannot explain the original OPERA's data.

We study the problem in the context of the mean-field Ising model with Glauber dynamics, proving that for frequencies of the magnetic field oscillations of order $N^{2/3}$, with $N$ the size of the system, the "critical" hysteresis loop becomes random.

description: We theoretically study the effect of localized magnetic impurities on two-dimensional topological superconductor (TSC). We show that the local density of states (LDOS) can be tuned by the effective exchange field $m$, the chemical potential $μ$ of TSC, and the distance $Δr$ as well as relative spin angle $α$ between two impurities. The changes in $Δr$ between two impurities alter the interference and result in significant modifications to the bonding and antibonding states. Furthermore, the bound-state spin LDOS induced by single and double magnetic impurity scattering, the quantum corrals, and the quantum mirages are also discussed. Finally, we briefly compare the impurities in TSC with those in topological insulators.

description: We report the first results from the Z-FOURGE survey: the discovery of a candidate galaxy cluster at z = 2.2 consisting of two compact overdensities with red galaxies detected at >20σ above the mean surface density. The discovery was made possible by a new deep (Ks < 24.8 AB 5σ) Magellan/FourStar near-IR imaging survey with 5 custom medium-bandwidth filters. The filters pinpoint the location of the Balmer/4000Å break in evolved stellar populations at 1.5 < z < 3.5, yielding significantly more accurate photometric redshifts than possible with broadband imaging alone. The overdensities are within 1' of each other in the COSMOS field and appear to be embedded in a larger structure that contains at least one additional overdensity (\sim10σ). Considering the global properties of the overdensities, the z = 2.2 system appears to be the most distant example of a galaxy cluster with a population of red galaxies. A comparison to a large ΛCDM simulation suggests that the system may consist of merging subclusters, with properties in between those of z > 2 protoclusters with more diffuse distributions of blue galaxies and the lower-redshift galaxy clusters with prominent red sequences. The structure is completely absent in public optical catalogs in COSMOS and only weakly visible in a shallower near-IR survey. The discovery showcases the potential of deep near-IR surveys with medium-band filters to advance the understanding of environment and galaxy evolution at z > 1.5.

Building a global sediment database
Creators: name: More, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Global patterns of soil loss are poorly understood. While recent research has explored the physical processes that drive soil erosion, through the study of sediment transport, few spatial analyses of these processes have been conducted. One major reason why the spatial element of sediment dynamics has not been studied is a lack of data: datasets are often expensive and difficult to obtain. To meet this need, this thesis proposes the construction of a Global Sediment Database, which will be freely available to all. The Database will be updatable, and will contain a detailed Data Quality Report so researchers can determine the most effective use of the data. The Data Quality Report will also quantitatively summarize the error and uncertainty of each dataset. This thesis will also demonstrate how the Database can be used to conduct spatial analyses of sediment processes using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). To this end, various spatial interpolation methods will be explored and evaluated, using the Yellow River as an example.

description: The monogenic and monoallelic expression of only one out of >1000 mouse olfactory receptor (ORs) genes requires the formation of large heterochromatic chromatin domains that sequester the OR gene clusters. Within these domains, intergenic transcriptional enhancers evade heterochromatic silencing and converge into interchromosomal hubs that assemble over the transcriptionally active OR. The significance of this nuclear organization in OR choice remains elusive. Here, we show that transcription factors Lhx2 and Ebf specify OR enhancers by binding in a functionally cooperative fashion to stereotypically spaced motifs that defy heterochromatin. Specific displacement of Lhx2 and Ebf from OR enhancers resulted in pervasive, long-range, and trans downregulation of OR transcription, whereas pre-assembly of a multi-enhancer hub increased the frequency of OR choice in cis. Our data provide genetic support for the requirement and sufficiency of interchromosomal interactions in singular OR choice and generate general regulatory principles for stochastic, mutually exclusive gene expression programs.
Integrability and supersymmetry of Schroedinger-Pauli equations for neutral particles

description: Integrable quantum mechanical systems for neutral particles with spin $\frac12$ and nontrivial dipole momentum are classified. It is demonstrated that such systems give rise to new exactly solvable problems of quantum mechanics with clear physical content. Solutions for three of them are given in explicit form. The related symmetry algebras and superalgebras are discussed. The presented classification is restricted to two-dimensional systems which admit matrix integrals of motion linear in momenta.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Oxygen minimum zones have been reported to occur as distinct strata in large equatorial areas of the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) and Atlantic oceans. In the ETP, this stratum restricts the depth distribution of high oxygen demand tropical pelagic marlins, sailfish, and tunas by compressing the suitable physical habitat into a narrow surface layer (i.e. habitat compression). This surface mixed layer is defined by a shallow thermocline, above a barrier of cold hypoxic water, where dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are

Detecting nonclassical system-environment correlations by local operations

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop a general strategy for the detection of nonclassical system-environment correlations in the initial states of an open quantum system. The method employs a dephasing map which operates locally on the open system and leads to an experimentally accessible witness for genuine quantum correlations, measuring the Hilbert-Schmidt distance between pairs of open system states. We further derive the expectation value of the witness for various random matrix ensembles modeling generic features of complex quantum systems. This expectation value is shown to be proportional to a measure for the quantum discord which reduces to the concurrence for pure initial states.

Deriving the Rosenfeld Functional from the Virial Expansion

description: In this article we replace the semi-heuristic derivation of the Rosenfeld functional of hard convex particles with the systematic calculation of Mayer clusters. It is shown that each cluster integral further decomposes into diagrams of intersection patterns that we classify by their loop number. This extends the virial expansion of the free-energy by an expansion in the loop order, with the Rosenfeld functional as its leading contribution. Rosenfeld's weight functions follow then from the derivation of the intersection probability by generalizing the equation of Blaschke, Santalo, and Chern. It is found that the 0-loop order can be derived exactly and reproduces the Rosenfeld functional. We further discuss the influence of particle dimensions, topologies, and geometries on the mathematical structure of the calculation.

description: The advent of mobile DNA sequencers has made it possible to generate DNA sequencing data outside of laboratories and genome centers. Here, we report our experience of using the MinION, a mobile sequencer, in a 13-week academic course for undergraduate and graduate students. The course consisted of theoretical sessions that presented fundamental topics in genomics and several applied hackathon sessions. In these hackathons, the students used MinION sequencers to generate and analyze their own data and gain hands-on experience in the topics discussed in the theoretical classes. The manuscript describes the structure of our class, the educational material, and the lessons we learned in the process. We hope that the knowledge and material presented here will provide the community with useful tools to help educate future generations of genome scientists.

description: Accurate referencing is a key tenet of academic work for all disciplines, though not all nursing, health and social care students consistently apply principles during their studies (Froste 2020; Lynch et al 2016). This can hinder a student’s academic achievement, with professional implications should practice fall far below expected standards (HCPC 2016; NMC 2023). Universities produce resources and signpost guides for students on referencing, though despite this practice remains sub optimal. This project is designed to uncover what nursing, health and social care students know about referencing and what academic staff teaching these students, think students know about referencing.
