title: The role of Glutaredoxin-2 in the modulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics in female mice fed a high-fat diet
Creators: name: Gill, Robert
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Our group recently observed that male mice containing a deletion for the gene encoding
 the thiol oxidoreductase glutaredoxin-2 (GRX2) were protected from diet-induced obesity (DIO)
 and the development of related disorders (e.g. fatty liver disease). This effect was associated with
 increased fuel combustion in muscles. In the present study, I assessed if deleting the Grx2 gene
 protected female mice from DIO. Unlike male mice, in this study female wild-type (WT)
 littermates were completely resistant to developing DIO and related co-morbidities. Additionally,
 deletion of the Grx2 gene did not alter the weight gain profiles, adiposity, intrahepatic fatty acid
 and glycogen levels, or circulating triglycerides in these mice. Furthermore, while differences in
 reactive oxygen species generation in liver mitochondria were observed, this trend was not
 present in muscle mitochondria. Mitochondrial bioenergetics data revealed no differences in
 mitochondrial respiration between WT and GRX2-deficient female mice fed a control or high-fat
 diet.

description: Reconstructing network dynamics from data is crucial for predicting the changes in the dynamics of complex systems such as neuron networks; however, previous research has shown that the reconstruction is possible under strong constraints such as the need for lengthy data or small system size. Here, we present a recovery scheme blending theoretical model reduction and sparse recovery to identify the governing equations and the interactions of weakly coupled chaotic maps on complex networks, easing unrealistic constraints for real-world applications. Learning dynamics and connectivity lead to detecting critical transitions for parameter changes. We apply our technique to realistic neuronal systems with and without noise on a real mouse neocortex and artificial networks.

description: We studied the electronic structure of a Shastry-Sutherland lattice system, HoB4 employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. The surface and bulk borons exhibit subtle differences, and loss of boron compared to the stoichiometric bulk. However, the surface and bulk conduction bands near Fermi level are found to be similar. Evolution of the electronic structure with temperature is found to be similar to that observed in a typical charge-disordered system. A sharp dip is observed at the Fermi level in the low temperature spectra revealing signature of antiferromagnetic gap. Asymmetric spectral weight transfer with temperature manifests particle-hole asymmetry that may be related to the exotic properties of these systems.

description: We investigate the masses and decay constants of the heavy-light $D_2^*(2460)$ and $D_{s2}^*(2573)$ tensor mesons in the framework of thermal QCD sum rules. Taking into account the additional operators arising at finite temperature, we evaluate the Wilson expansion for the two-point correlation function associated with these mesons. We observe that the values of the masses and decay constants decrease considerably at near to the critical temperature. The decay constants attain roughly to $25\%$ of their values in vacuum, while the masses decrease about $39\%$ and $37\%$ in $D_2^*$ and $D_{s2}^*$ channels, respectively.

description: Accurate indoor positioning for wireless communication systems represents an important step towards enhanced reliability and security, which are crucial aspects for realizing Industry 4.0. In this context, this paper presents an investigation on the real-world indoor positioning performance that can be obtained using a deep learning (DL)-based technique. For obtaining experimental data, we collect power measurements associated with reference positions using a wireless sensor network in an indoor scenario. The DL-based positioning scheme is modeled as a supervised learning problem, where the function that describes the relation between measured signal power values and their corresponding transmitter coordinates is approximated. We compare the DL approach to two different schemes with varying degrees of online computational complexity. Namely, maximum likelihood estimation and proximity. Furthermore, we provide a performance comparison of DL positioning trained with data generated exclusively based on a statistical path loss model and tested with experimental data.

description: Wireless communication technology has progressed dramatically over the past 25 years, in terms of societal adoption as well as technical sophistication. In 1998, mobile phones were still in the process of becoming compact and affordable devices that could be widely utilized in both developed and developing countries. There were "only" 300 million mobile subscribers in the world [1]. Cellular networks were among the first privatized telecommunication markets, and competition turned the devices into fashion accessories with attractive designs that could be individualized. The service was circumscribed to telephony and text messaging, but it was groundbreaking in that, for the first time, telecommunication was between people rather than locations. Wireless networks have changed dramatically over the past few decades, enabling this revolution in service provisioning and making it possible to accommodate the ensuing dramatic growth in traffic. There are many contributing components, including new air interfaces for faster transmission, channel coding for enhanced reliability, improved source compression to remove redundancies, and leaner protocols to reduce overheads. Signal processing is at the core of these improvements, but nowhere has it played a bigger role than in the development of multiantenna communication. This article tells the story of how major signal processing advances have transformed the early multiantenna concepts into mainstream technology over the past 25 years. The story therefore begins somewhat arbitrarily in 1998. A broad account of the state-of-the-art signal processing techniques for wireless systems by 1998 can be found in [2], and its contrast with recent textbooks such as [3]-[5] reveals the dramatic leap forward that has taken place in the interim.

description: Motivated by recent experiments exploring the spin-orbit-coupled magnetism in $4d$- and $5d$-band transition metal oxides, we study magnetic interactions in Ir- and Rh-based compounds. In these systems, the comparable strength of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), crystal field splitting (CF) and Coulomb and Hund's coupling leads to a rich variety of magnetic exchange interactions, leading to new types of ground states. Using a strong coupling approach, we derive effective low-energy super-exchange Hamiltonians from the multi-orbital Hubbard model by taking full account of the Coulomb and Hund's interactions in the intermediate states. We find that in the presence of strong SOC and lattice distortions the super-exchange Hamiltonian contains various kinds of magnetic anisotropies. Here we are primarily interested in the magnetic properties of Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ and Sr$_2$Ir$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$O$_4$ compounds. We perform a systematic study of how magnetic interactions in these systems depend on the microscopic parameters and provide a thorough analysis of the resulting magnetic phase diagram. Comparison of our results with experimental data shows good agreement. Finally, we discuss the parameter space in which the spin-flop transition in Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, experimentally observed under pressure, can be realized.

description: Despite the recent advances in various Structural Genomics Projects, a large gap remains between the number of sequenced and structurally characterized proteins. Some reasons for this discrepancy include technical difficulties, labor, and the cost related to determining a structure by experimental methods such as NMR spectroscopy. Several computational methods have been developed to expand the applicability of NMR spectroscopy by addressing temporal and economical problems more efficiently. While these methods demonstrate successful outcomes to solve more challenging and structurally novel proteins, the cost has not been reduced significantly. Probability Density Profile Analysis (PDPA) has been previously introduced by our lab to directly address the economics of structure determination of routine proteins and the identification of novel structures from a minimal set of unassigned NMR data. 2D-PDPA (in which 2D denotes incorporation of data from two alignment media) has been successful in identifying the structural homolog of an unknown protein within a library of ~1000 decoy structures. In order to further expand the selectivity and sensitivity of PDPA, the incorporation of additional data was necessary. However, the expansion of the original PDPA approach was limited by its computational requirements where the inclusion of additional data would render it computationally intractable. Here we present the most recent developments of PDPA method (nD-PDPA: n Dimensional Probability Density Profile Analysis) that eliminate 2D-PDPA's computational limitations, and allows inclusion of RDC data from multiple vector types in multiple alignment media.

description: We demonstrate theoretically that an array of carbon nanoscrolls acts as a hyperbolic magnetic metamaterial in the THz regime with genuine subwavelength operation corresponding to wavelength-to-structure ratio of about 200. Due to the low sheet resistance of graphene, the electromagnetic losses in an array of carbon nanoscrolls are almost negligible offering a very sharp magnetic resonance of extreme positive and negative values of the effective magnetic permeability. The latter property leads to superior imaging properties for arrays of carbon nanoscrolls which can operate as magnetic endoscopes in the THz where magnetic materials are scarce. Our optical modelling is supplemented with ab initio density-functional calculations of the self-winding of a single layer of graphene onto a carbon nanotube so as to form a carbon nanoscroll. The latter process is viewed as a means to realize ordered arrays of carbon nanoscrolls in the laboratory based on arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes which are nowadays routinely fabricated.

orbitN: A symplectic integrator for planetary systems dominated by a central mass -- Insight into long-term solar system chaos

description: Reliable studies of the long-term dynamics of planetary systems require numerical integrators that are accurate and fast. The challenge is often formidable because the chaotic nature of many systems requires relative numerical error bounds at or close to machine precision (~1e-16, double-precision arithmetic), otherwise numerical chaos may dominate over physical chaos. Currently, the speed/accuracy demands are usually only met by symplectic integrators. For example, the most up-to-date long-term astronomical solutions for the solar system in the past (widely used in, e.g., astrochronology and high-precision geological dating) have been obtained using symplectic integrators. Yet, the source codes of these integrators are unavailable. Here I present the symplectic integrator orbitN (lean version 1.0) with the primary goal of generating accurate and reproducible long-term orbital solutions for near-Keplerian planetary systems (here the solar system) with a dominant mass M0. Among other features, orbitN-1.0 includes M0's quadrupole moment, a lunar contribution, and post-Newtonian corrections (1PN) due to M0 (fast symplectic implementation). To reduce numerical roundoff errors, Kahan compensated summation was implemented. I use orbitN to provide insight into the effect of various processes on the long-term chaos in the solar system. Notably, 1PN corrections have the opposite effect on chaoticity/stability on 100-Myr vs. Gyr-time scale. For the current application, orbitN is about as fast or faster (factor 1.15-2.6) than comparable integrators, depending on hardware. The orbitN source code (C) is available at github.com/rezeebe/orbitN.

description: Using the Higgs boson mass $m_h=125$ GeV, the radiative Higgs decays $h\rightarrowγν_l\barν_l$ with $ν_l = ν_e,\,ν_μ$ and $ν_τ$ are analyzed in the standard model. Our calculation shows that the inclusive width of these processes, i.e., the sum of $Γ(h\toγν_l\barν_l)$ for ${ν_l=ν_e,ν_μ,ν_τ}$, is $1.41$ keV, which is about $15\%$ of $Γ(h\toγγ)$. Therefore, the observation of these channels in the future precise experiments may provide us some useful information on the Higgs physics both in the standard model and in its possible extensions.

Creators: name: Hodges, James Andrew

description: Contemporary computer interfaces are frequently designed using multiple media, including images, audio, and animation. These digital interaction modalities were conceptualized, implemented, and popularized within an interdisciplinary network of collaboration at the edges of previously existing institutions during the second half of the twentieth century. By identifying common beliefs, references, and approaches shared among interdisciplinary groups of collaborators, this project presents a critical reexamination of many foundational assumptions currently built into ubiquitous computer interfaces, in order to better understand the philosophical and technical origins of such multimedia computing. These goals are achieved through archival research and technical analysis of a series of exemplary artifacts and projects pulled from within the growing multimedia and digital computing communities between 1950 and 2000. Case studies for this research are drawn from the works of Dr. Timothy Leary (1920-1996), an American psychologist whose career included a series of collaborations with academics, government officials, artists, software publishers, and computer hardware companies, all oriented around the theme of facilitating new forms of non-verbal expression using information technologies. By examining a series of case studies drawn from Leary’s long career, this dissertation presents a set of shared references and approaches common among representatives from each of the identified sectors. The shared assumptions represented in participants’ written and oral testimonies, as well as in the technical composition of their actual historical artifacts, goes against the grain of conventional histories of computing by emphasizing the significance of interdisciplinary computing communities of the late twentieth century.

description: Taking inspiration from linguistics, the communications theoretical community has recently shown a significant recent interest in pragmatic , or goal-oriented, communication. In this paper, we tackle the problem of pragmatic communication with multiple clients with different, and potentially conflicting, objectives. We capture the goal-oriented aspect through the metric of Value of Information (VoI), which considers the estimation of the remote process as well as the timing constraints. However, the most common definition of VoI is simply the Mean Square Error (MSE) of the whole system state, regardless of the relevance for a specific client. Our work aims to overcome this limitation by including different summary statistics, i.e., value functions of the state, for separate clients, and a diversified query process on the client side, expressed through the fact that different applications may request different functions of the process state at different times. A query-aware Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) solution based on statically defined VoI can outperform naive approaches by 15-20%.

description: Diving at work in support of science is regulated at national levels in many different ways across Europe. In accordance with EU directive 2005/36/EC, there is a requirement for an established methodology to facilitate the recognition of original professional qualifications by other member states. The EU also encourages harmonization of work health and safety laws in its member states through Directive 89/391/EEC as well as the free movement of workers (TFEU 2007: Article 45 (Ex. Art. 39 TEC). This consultation document outlines a framework whereby competence levels achieved by an individual diver while at work or under training in their own country can be recognized by another EU Member State. Tools: The European Scientific Diver (ESD) and Advanced European Scientific Diver (AESD) qualifications recognize the current level of competency of an individual diving at work in their own country. These certified levels of competency then permit organizations in other Member States to recognize that level within their own national regulations. The ESD and AESD qualifications are, therefore, approved by national scientific diving committees that themselves are recognized by national regulating bodies.
 The European Scientific Diving Panel (ESDP) monitors the implementation of the ESD and AESD scheme and collates activity; approval and adoption of the scheme can only be achieved through the national scientific diving committees.

description: Whistle contour extraction aims to derive animal whistles from time-frequency spectrograms as polylines. For toothed whales, whistle extraction results can serve as the basis for analyzing animal abundance, species identity, and social activities. During the last few decades, as long-term recording systems have become affordable, automated whistle extraction algorithms were proposed to process large volumes of recording data. Recently, a deep learning-based method demonstrated superior performance in extracting whistles under varying noise conditions. However, training such networks requires a large amount of labor-intensive annotation, which is not available for many species. To overcome this limitation, we present a framework of stage-wise generative adversarial networks (GANs), which compile new whistle data suitable for deep model training via three stages: generation of background noise in the spectrogram, generation of whistle contours, and generation of whistle signals. By separating the generation of different components in the samples, our framework composes visually promising whistle data and labels even when few expert annotated data are available. Regardless of the amount of human-annotated data, the proposed data augmentation framework leads to a consistent improvement in performance of the whistle extraction model, with a maximum increase of 1.69 in the whistle extraction mean F1-score. Our stage-wise GAN also surpasses one single GAN in improving whistle extraction models with augmented data. The data and code will be available at https://github.com/Paul-LiPu/CompositeGAN\_WhistleAugment.

description: A physics-based computer model has been developed to support the development of volatile extraction from regolith of the Moon and asteroids. The model is based upon empirical data sets for extraterrestrial soils and simulants, including thermal conductivity of regolith and mixed composition ice, heat capacity of soil and mixed composition ice, hydrated mineral volatile release patterns, and sublimation of ice. A new thermal conductivity relationship is derived that generalizes cases of regolith with varying temperature, soil porosity, and pore vapor pressure. Ice composition is based upon measurements of icy ejecta from the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) impact and it is shown that thermal conductivity and heat capacity equations for water ice provide adequate accuracy at the present level of development. The heat diffusion equations are integrated with gas diffusion equations using multiple adaptive timesteps. The entire model is placed into a Crank-Nicholson framework where the finite difference formalism was extended to two dimensions in axisymmetry. The one-dimensional version of the model successfully predicts heat transfer that matches lunar and asteroid data sets. The axisymmetric model has been used to study heat dissipation around lunar drills and water extraction in asteroid coring devices.

description: This paper presents an unsupervised approach that leverages raw aerial videos to learn to estimate planar homographic transformation between consecutive video frames. Previous learning-based estimators work on pairs of images to estimate their planar homographic transformations but suffer from severe over-fitting issues, especially when applying over aerial videos. To address this concern, we develop a sequential estimator that directly processes a sequence of video frames and estimates their pairwise planar homographic transformations in batches. We also incorporate a set of spatial-temporal knowledge to regularize the learning of such a sequence-to-sequence model. We collect a set of challenging aerial videos and compare the proposed method to the alternative algorithms. Empirical studies suggest that our sequential model achieves significant improvement over alternative image-based methods and the knowledge-rich regularization further boosts our system performance.

description: Disordered solids exhibit unusual properties of their vibrational states and thermal conductivities. Recent progresses have well established the concept of "elastic heterogeneity", i.e., disordered materials show spatially inhomogeneous elastic moduli. In this study, by using molecular-dynamics simulations, we gradually introduce "disorder" into a numerical system to control its modulus heterogeneity. The system starts from a perfect crystalline state, progressively transforms into an increasingly disordered crystalline state, and finally undergoes structural amorphisation. We monitor independently the elastic heterogeneity, the vibrational states, and the thermal conductivity across this transition, and show that the heterogeneity in elastic moduli is well correlated to vibrational and thermal anomalies of the disordered system.
title: The dreaming boy and the waking city: alcohol consumption and the construction of a working-class identity in late nineteenth century Stockholm
Creators: name: Lawrence, Stewart B.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm grew in commercial importance in the second half of the nineteenth century as the country experienced rapid industrialisation. This resulted in high labour mobility as people migrated to the city seeking work. The sanitary and housing conditions of the working class varied according to income and the availability of employment. Stockholm’s administration and middle-class imposed its authority on transitory workers with the passage of the Vagrancy Act of 1885 and the introduction of lease agreements. The working class resisted this oppression by drinking. They actively resisted the authority of their employers and middle-class morality by drinking on the job and during their leisure time in the tavern. The act of consuming alcohol brought men of different occupations together and enabled the construction of a working-class identity.
Characterizing a collaboration by its communication structure

description: I present first results of my analysis of a collection of about 24,000 email messages from internal mailing lists of the ATLAS collaboration, at CERN, the particle physics laboratory, during the years 2010–2013. I represent the communication on these mailing lists as a network in which the members of the collaboration are connected if they reply to each other’s messages. Such a network allows me to characterize the collaboration from a bird’s eye view of its communication structure in epistemically relevant terms. I propose to interpret established measures such as the density of the network as indicators for the degree of “collaborativeness” of the collaboration and the presence of “communities” as a sign of cognitive division of labor. Similar methods have been used in philosophical and historical studies of collective knowledge generation but mostly at the level of information exchange, cooperation and competition between individual researchers or small groups. The present article aims to take initial steps towards a transfer of these methods and bring them to bear on the processes of collaboration inside a “collective author.”

description: Candida auris est une levure émergente, multirésistante dans un quart des cas et capable de résister de manière prolongée dans l’environnement. De nombreuses épidémies hospitalières ont été décrites dans le monde. En France, à ce jour, peu de cas et de très rares épidémies de faible ampleur ont été identifiés. Nous rapportons la première épidémie française impliquant plusieurs dizaines de patients colonisés par C. auris. Le cas index est un patient hospitalisé précédemment au Koweït à la suite d’un accident de la voie publique. Il a été découvert fortuitement porteur de C. auris en réanimation après deux mois d’hospitalisation. Les mesures de prévention ont été mises en place selon les recommandations du Haut Conseil de la santé publique et de l’Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris. Les patients contacts ont été dépistés par culture et PCR quantitative (qPCR) toutes les semaines. Trente-sept cas secondaires ont été identifiés uniquement par qPCR au cours d’une période de huit semaines dans six services différents (réanimation, dialyse, néphrologie, soins continus de chirurgie, maladies infectieuses et tropicales, médecine interne). Toutes les cultures sont restées négatives sauf pour le cas index. Les prélèvements d’environnement ont été retrouvés positifs en qPCR dans 10,3% des cas (44/429) par qPCR. Des mesures strictes de prévention et de contrôle de l’infection ont permis de maîtriser l’épidémie : cohorting des cas, des contacts et des patients indemnes en trois secteurs, dépistages extensifs, mise en place des précautions complémentaires contact renforcées, renforcement de l’hygiène des mains et du bionettoyage.

description: With 3rd-order statistics of gravitational shear it will be possible to extract valuable cosmological information from ongoing and future weak lensing surveys which is not contained in standard 2nd-order statistics, due to the non-Gaussianity of the shear field. Aperture mass statistics are an appropriate choice for 3rd-order statistics due to their simple form and their ability to separate E- and B-modes of the shear. However, it has been demonstrated that 2nd-order aperture mass statistics suffer from E-/B-mode mixing because it is impossible to reliably estimate the shapes of close pairs of galaxies. This finding has triggered developments of several new 2nd-order statistical measures for cosmic shear. Whether the same developments are needed for 3rd-order shear statistics is largely determined by how severe this E-/B-mixing is for 3rd-order statistics. We test 3rd-order aperture mass statistics against E-/B-mode mixing, and find that the level of contamination is well-described by a function of $θ/θ_{\rm min}$, with $θ_{\rm min}$ being the cut-off scale. At angular scales of $θ> 10 \;θ_{\rm min}$, the decrease in the E-mode signal due to E-/B-mode mixing is smaller than 1 percent, and the leakage into B-modes is even less. For typical small-scale cut-offs this E-/B-mixing is negligible on scales larger than a few arcminutes. Therefore, 3rd-order aperture mass statistics can safely be used to separate E- and B-modes and infer cosmological information, for ground-based surveys as well as forthcoming space-based surveys such as Euclid.

description: A three-dimensional slowly rotating black hole solution in the presence of negative cosmological constant in the Einstein-power-Maxwell theory is studied. It is shown that in the small rotation limit the electric field, diagonal metric function and thermodynamic properties in the small rotation limit are the same as for static case, whereas the small rotation gives in addition a non-diagonal metric function and magnetic field which are also small. For these functions cased by rotation of black hole it was obtained exact integral solution and analytic asymptotic solution.
Grand Minima and North-South Asymmetry of Solar Activity

description: A solar-type dynamo model in a spherical shell is developed with allowance for random dependence of the poloidal field generation mechanism on time and latitude. The model shows repeatable epochs of strongly decreased amplitude of magnetic cycles similar to the Maunder minimum of solar activity. Random dependence of dynamo-parameters on latitude brakes the equatorial symmetry of generated fields. The model shows the correlation of the occurrence of grand minima with deviations in the dynamo-field from dipolar parity. An increased north-south asymmetry of magnetic activity can, therefore, be an indicator of transitions to grand minima. Qualitative interpretation of this correlation is suggested. Statistics of grand minima in the model are close to the Poisson random process indicating that the onset of a grand minimum is statistically independent of preceding minima.
