description: We present the discovery of rotation in quenched, low-mass early-type galaxies that are isolated. This finding challenges the claim that (all) rotating dwarf early-type galaxies in clusters were once spiral galaxies that have since been harassed and transformed into early-type galaxies. Our search of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data within the Local volume ($z<0.02$) has yielded a sample of 46 galaxies with a stellar mass $M_\star \lesssim 5\times10^9$ M$_\odot$ (median $M_\star \sim 9.29 \times 10^8$ M$_\odot$), a low H$α$ equivalent width EW$_{{\rm H}α}< 2$ Å, and no massive neighbour ($M_{\star}\gtrsim3 \times 10^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$) within a velocity interval of $ΔV = 500$ km s$^{-1}$ and a projected distance of $\sim$1 Mpc. Nine of these galaxies were subsequently observed with Keck ESI and their radial kinematics are presented here. These extend out to the half-light radius $R_e$ in the best cases, and beyond $R_e/2$ for all. They reveal a variety of behaviours similar to those of a comparison sample of early-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster observed by Toloba et al. Both samples have similar frequencies of slow and fast rotators, as well as kinematically decoupled cores. This, and especially the finding of rotating quenched low-mass galaxies in isolation, reveals that the early-type dwarfs in galaxy clusters need not be harassed or tidally stirred spiral galaxies.

description: We introduce a novel Bayesian hybrid matrix factorisation model (HMF) for data integration, based on combining multiple matrix factorisation methods, that can be used for in- and out-of-matrix prediction of missing values. The model is very general and can be used to integrate many datasets across different entity types, including repeated experiments, similarity matrices, and very sparse datasets. We apply our method on two biological applications, and extensively compare it to state-of-the-art machine learning and matrix factorisation models. For in-matrix predictions on drug sensitivity datasets we obtain consistently better performances than existing methods. This is especially the case when we increase the sparsity of the datasets. Furthermore, we perform out-of-matrix predictions on methylation and gene expression datasets, and obtain the best results on two of the three datasets, especially when the predictivity of datasets is high.

description: Relational graph neural networks (RGNNs) are graph neural networks with dedicated structures for modeling the different types of nodes and edges in heterogeneous graphs. While RGNNs have been increasingly adopted in many real-world applications due to their versatility and accuracy, they pose performance and system design challenges: inherent memory-intensive computation patterns, the gap between the programming interface and kernel APIs, and heavy programming effort in optimizing kernels caused by their coupling with data layout and heterogeneity. To systematically address these challenges, we propose Hector, a novel two-level intermediate representation and its code generator framework, that (a) captures the key properties of RGNN models, and opportunities to reduce memory accesses in inter-operator scheduling and materialization, (b) generates code with flexible data access scheme to eliminate redundant data copies, (c) decouples model semantics, data layout, and operators-specific optimization from each other to reduce programming effort. By building on one general matrix multiply (GEMM) template and a node/edge traversal template, Hector achieves up to 9.9x speed-up in inference and 43.7x speed-up in training compared with the state-of-the-art public systems on select models, i.e., RGCN, RGAT and HGT, when running heterogeneous graphs provided by Deep Graph Library (DGL) and Open Graph Benchmark (OGB). In addition, Hector does not trigger any out-of-memory (OOM) exception in these tests. We also propose the linear operator reorder and compact materialization to further accelerate the system by up to 3.8x. As an indicator of programming effort reduction, Hector takes in 51 lines of code expressing the three models and generates a total of 8K lines of CUDA and C++ code.

description: Poly(2-oxazoline)-based nanoparticles with AIE feature were prepared for targeted cell imaging. First, P(EtOx-BuOx) was fabricated by subsequent cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP). Then, the folate was attached to the end chains of P(EtOx-BuOx). AIE-active TPEMN was conjugated to the side chains of P(EtOx-BuOx) through ‘‘thio-ene’’ click reactions. Cellular experiments demonstrated that the nanocomposites had well dispersity in the physiological environment and could be internalized by folate receptor (FR)-positive cells. We envision that this research endows a simple approach to the fabrication of stable fluorescent polymeric nanocomposites, which display favorable biocompatibility and immense potential for applications in biological imaging and cell detection.

description: We report precise radial velocity (RV) measurements of WASP-47, a G star that hosts three transiting planets in close proximity (a hot Jupiter, a super-Earth and a Neptune-sized planet) and a non-transiting planet at 1.4 AU. Through a joint analysis of previously published RVs and our own Keck-HIRES RVs, we significantly improve the planet mass and bulk density measurements. For the super-Earth WASP-47e ($P$ = 0.79 days), we measure a mass of 9.11 $\pm$ 1.17 $M_\oplus$, and a bulk density of 7.63 $\pm$ 1.90 g cm$^{-3}$, consistent with a rocky composition. For the hot Jupiter WASP-47b ($P$ = 4.2 days), we measure a mass of 356 $\pm$ 12 $M_\oplus$ (1.12 $\pm$ 0.04 $M_\rm{Jup}$) and constrain its eccentricity to $<0.021$ at 3-$σ$ confidence. For the Neptune-size planet WASP-47d ($P$ = 9.0 days), we measure a mass of 12.75 $\pm$ 2.70 $M_\oplus$, and a bulk density of 1.36 $\pm$ 0.42 g cm$^{-3}$, suggesting it has a thick H/He envelope. For the outer non-transiting planet, we measure a minimum mass of 411 $\pm$ 18 $M_\oplus$ (1.29 $\pm$ 0.06 $M_\rm{Jup}$), an orbital period of 595.7 $\pm$ 5.0 days, and an orbital eccentricity of 0.27 $\pm$ 0.04. Our new measurements are consistent with but 2$-$4$\times$ more precise than previous mass measurements.

Testing Tilly’s theory of collective violence against the Syrian conflict: a model framework?

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores the patterns of collective violence in the Syrian conflict through the lens of Charles Tilly’s theory on the subject. Since its publication in 2003, Tilly’s The Politics of Collective Violence has been one of the most influential works within the social sciences on violence and contentious politics. The thesis assesses the extent to which Tilly’s conceptual framework explains the patterns of collective violence in Syria, highlighting both its continuing relevance as well as some of its limitations. This thesis argues that evidence from the Syrian conflict suggests that Tilly’s framework does not adequately address the influence of external powers and the role of technology and social media. As such, this research aims to strengthen and update Tilly’s framework by combining fresh insights on the pattern of collective violence from the Syrian conflict and other scholars of international relations.

description: Excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of hypertension-related vascular remodeling. β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a nonprotein β-amino acid with multiple pharmacological actions. Recently, BAIBA has been shown to attenuate salt‑sensitive hypertension, but the role of BAIBA in hypertension-related vascular remodeling has yet to be fully clarified. This study examined the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of BAIBA in VSMC proliferation and migration induced by hypertension. Primary VSMCs were cultured from the aortas of Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Our results showed that BAIBA pretreatment obviously alleviated the phenotypic transformation, proliferation, and migration of SHR-derived VSMCs. Exogenous BAIBA significantly inhibited the release of inflammatory cytokines by diminishing phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65 NFκB, retarding IκBα phosphorylation and degradation, as well as erasing STAT3 phosphorylation in VSMCs. Supplementation of BAIBA triggered Nrf2 dissociation from Keap1 and inhibited oxidative stress in VSMCs from SHR. Mechanistically, activation of the AMPK/sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) axis was required for BAIBA to cube hypertension-induced VSMC proliferation, migration, oxidative damage and inflammatory response. Most importantly, exogenous BAIBA alleviated hypertension, ameliorated vascular remodeling and fibrosis, abated vascular oxidative burst and inflammation in SHR, an effect that was abolished by deficiency of AMPKα1 and SIRT1. BAIBA might serve as a novel therapeutic agent to prevent vascular remodeling in the context of hypertension.

description: Aim: To discuss the immunological mechanism in electroacupuncture (EA) treatment of dry eye syndrome (DES) by targeting the changes in conjunctival cytokine expression profile. Method: Eligible DES patients were randomized into an EA group (EAG) or an acupuncture group (AG). The ocular surface disease index (OSDI), amount of tear production, and tear film break-up time (BUT) were observed to evaluate the efficacy. Conjunctival cells were collected from both effective and invalid cases to observe the expressions of cytokines by protein microarray. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used for functional cluster and signaling pathway analysis of the differentially expressed proteins. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to verify the specific differential proteins. Result: After treatment, OSDI dropped and BUT extended in both groups, and the tear production increased only in the EAG (all P < .01). Compared with the AG, the improvement in tear production was more significant in the EAG (P < .01). There were 17 differentially expressed conjunctival cytokines between the effective and invalid cases in the EAG, and those expressed higher than the limit of detection (LOD) included monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), regulated on activation in normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1). GO analysis showed that the differential cytokines were mainly involved in cellular interaction, signaling pathways and reactions to stimuli. KEGG analysis revealed that the signaling pathways of these cytokines were mainly responsible for interactions between cytokines or between cytokines and their receptors, such as Jak-STAT signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. Conclusion: EA can effectively treat DES by improving the symptoms, increasing tear secretion and extending BUT, which is possibly related to its regulation on the conjunctival cytokine expressions.

Theory of charge density wave depinning by electromechanical effect
Creators: name: Quemerais, P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the first theory for the depinning of low dimensional, incommensurate, charge density waves (CDWs) in the strong electron-phonon (e-p) regime. Arguing that most real CDWs systems invariably develop a gigantic dielectric constant (GDC) at very low frequencies, we propose an electromechanical mechanism which is based on a local field effect. At zero electric field and large enough e-p coupling the structures are naturally pinned by the lattice due to its discreteness, and develop modulation functions which are characterized by discontinuities. When the electric field is turned on, we show that it exists a finite threshold value for the electric field above which the discontinuities of the modulation functions vanish due to CDW deformation. The CDW is then free to move. The signature of this pinning/depinning transition as a function of the increasing electric field can be directly observed in the phonon spectrum by using inelastic neutrons or X-rays experiments.

Light-Cones, Almost Light-Cones and Almost-Complex Light-Cones
Creators: name: Newman, Ezra T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We point out an unusual relationship among a variety of null geodesic congruences; (a) the generators of ordinary light-cones and (b) certain (related) shear-free but twisting congruences in Minkowski Space-time as well as (c) asymptotically shear-free null geodesic congruences that exist in the neighborhood of Penrose's Scri in Einstein or Einstein-Maxwell asymptotically flat-space-times. We refer to these geodesic congruences respectively as: Lignt-Cones (LCs), as Almost-Complex- Light-Cones, (ACLCs), [though they are real they resemble complex light-cones in complex Minkowski space] and finally to a family of congruences in asymptotically flat-spaces as `Almost Light-Cones', (ALC). The two essential points of resemblance among the three families are: (1) they are all either shear-free or asymptotically shear-free and (2) in each family the individual members of the family can be labeled by the points in a real or complex four-dimensional manifold. As an example, the Minkowski space LCs are labeled by the (real) coordinate value of their apex. In the case of (ACLCs) (complex coordinate values), the congruences will have non-vanishing twist whose magnitude is determined by the imaginary part of the complex coordinate values. In studies of gravitational radiation, Bondi-type of null surfaces and their associated Bondi coordinates have been almost exclusively used for calculations. Some surprising relations arise if, instead of the Bondi coordinates, one uses ALCs and their associated coordinate systems in the analysis of the Einstein-Maxwell equations near Scri. More explicitly and surprisingly, the asymptotic Bianchi Identities expressed in the coordinates of the ALCs, turn directly into many of the standard definitions and relations of classical mechanics.

Observation-Based Study on Aerosol Optical Depth and Particle Size in Partly Cloudy Regions

Publisher: name: AGU
Year: 2017

description: This study seeks to help better understand aerosol-cloud interactions by examining statistical relationships between aerosol properties and nearby low-altitude cloudiness using satellite data. The analysis of a global data set of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer observations reveals that the positive correlation between cloudiness and aerosol optical depth (AOD) reported in earlier studies is strong throughout the globe and during both winter and summer. Typically, AOD is 30–50% higher on cloudier-than-average days than on less cloudy days. A combination of satellite observations and Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 global reanalysis data reveals that the correlation between cloud cover and AOD is strong for all aerosol types considered: sulfate, dust, carbon, and sea salt. The observations also indicate that in the presence of nearby clouds, aerosol size distributions tend to shift toward smaller particles over large regions of the Earth. This is consistent with a greater cloud-related increase in the AOD of fine-mode than of coarse-mode particles. The greater increase in fine-mode AOD implies that the cloudiness-AOD correlation does not come predominantly from cloud detection uncertainties. Additionally, the results show that aerosol particle size increases near clouds even in regions where it decreases with increasing cloudiness. This suggests that the decrease with cloudiness comes mainly from changes in large-scale environment, rather than from clouds increasing the number or the size of fine-mode aerosols. Finally, combining different aerosol retrieval algorithms demonstrated that quality assessment flags based on local variability can help identifying when the observed aerosol populations are affected by surrounding clouds.

description: Forest gaps are important in forest dynamics and management; however, the gap size that is most conducive to the decomposition of litter and promotion of nutrient cycling in forests remains poorly understood. The mass loss and nutrient release from Pinus massoniana and Toona ciliata litter in response to gap size classes were determined in south-western China during a 1.5-year litter decomposition experiment. One site with a closed canopy (CK) and seven sites with forest gaps of 100, 225, 400, 625, 900, 1 225 and 1 600 m2 were established in a P. massoniana plantation in the Sichuan Basin of China; the CK site (fully shaded) was treated as the control. After 540 d, the mass and carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contents in the litter of the control treatments decreased by 58.23%, 60.81%, 65.62% and 57.82% for P. massoniana litter and by 91.17%, 80.76%, 73.66% and 64.55% for T. ciliata litter, respectively, compared with the initial amounts. Most of the C, N and P were released from both tree species during the first 90 d of decomposition, although the temperature and moisture conditions were very low. The mass loss and C and N release rates for the two tree species and the P release rate from T. ciliata litter were higher in the 400–900 m2 gap sites than in the other gap sites and the CK site, whereas the P release rate from P. massoniana litter was greater under large and medium-sized gaps (400–1 600 m2). The mass loss and C, N and P release rates were positively correlated with the soil moisture content in the seven different gap size treatments, with the soil moisture content representing the best predictor of litter decomposition. Therefore, our results indicate that medium-sized gaps (400–900 m2) can promote decomposition by changing the environmental conditions and may accelerate nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.

Statistical algorithms for semi-parametric variance regression with application to biomarkers

description: Variance regression allows for heterogeneous variance, or heteroscedasticity, by incorporating a regression model into the variance. This thesis uses a variant of the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm to develop a new method for fitting additive variance regression models that allow for regression in both the mean and the variance. The algorithm is easily extended to allow for B-spline bases, thus allowing for the incorporation of a semi-parametric model in both the mean and variance. Although here are existing methods to fit these types of models, this new algorithm provides a reliable approach that is not susceptible to numerical instability that can be seen with other approaches. We utilise the developed algorithm with a series of simulation studies and analysis of biomarker datasets. Various simulation studies show that the algorithm is capable of recovering the true model for a variety of scenarios. We also study automatic selection of model complexity based on various information criteria, and show that the Akaike information criterion (AIC) is useful for choosing the optimal number of knots in a B-spline model. It is also found that the ability to estimate the model complexity automatically is greatly improved with a larger sample size. The algorithm is extended to allow for censored outcome data, and to allow for nonnormal data with the incorporation of a skew regression model, using the skew-normal distribution. The algorithms developed in this thesis are available through an R package called VarReg, and a demonstration of the package is given using a biomarker dataset.This algorithm has wide capabilities for analysis of biomarker data, and provides a useful and stable additional tool for fitting variance regression models.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease where early detection benefits the survival rate. COPD can be quantified by classifying patches of computed tomography images, and combining patch labels into an overall diagnosis for the image. As labeled patches are often not available, image labels are propagated to the patches, incorrectly labeling healthy patches in COPD patients as being affected by the disease. We approach quantification of COPD from lung images as a multiple instance learning (MIL) problem, which is more suitable for such weakly labeled data. We investigate various MIL assumptions in the context of COPD and show that although a concept region with COPD-related disease patterns is present, considering the whole distribution of lung tissue patches improves the performance. The best method is based on averaging instances and obtains an AUC of 0.742, which is higher than the previously reported best of 0.713 on the same dataset. Using the full training set further increases performance to 0.776, which is significantly higher (DeLong test) than previous results.

The low-energy positron scattering upon endohedrals

description: We investigate positron scattering upon endohedrals and compare it with electron-endohedral scattering. We show that the polarization of the fullerene shell considerably alters the polarization potential of an atom, stuffed inside a fullerene. This essentially affects both the positron and electron elastic scattering phases as well as corresponding cross-sections. Of great importance is also the interaction between the incoming positron and the target electrons that leads to formation the virtual positronium. We illustrate the general trend by concrete examples of positron and electron scattering upon endohedrals He@C60 and Ar@C60, and compare it to scattering upon fullerene C60. To obtain the presented results, we have employed new simplified approaches that permit to incorporate the effect of fullerenes polarizability into the He@C60 and Ar@C60 polarization potential and to take into account the virtual positronium formation. Using these approaches, we obtained numeric results that show strong variations in shape and magnitudes of scattering phases and cross-sections due to effect of endohedral polarization and virtual positronium formation.

Dynamic relationship of diffusing capacity and pulmonary alveolar vascular recruitment during exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

description: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. COPD has multiple etiologies. Irreversible pulmonary-alveolar capillary damage is one of them which can be assessed by diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). The primary objective was to study the use of DLCO in predicting exercise limitation in COPD. The secondary objective was to evaluate the role of dietary nitrate precursor (beetroot juice) in improving alveolar gas exchange, pulmonary vascular function, and exercise intolerance in COPD. A third (mainly exploratory) aim was to study the expansion of pulmonary gas exchange surface area during exercise and its correlation with pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a surrogate of arterial stiffness. 32 patients with mild to severe COPD were tested. Cycle ergometry on day 1 was performed. DLCO, noninvasive indices of gas exchange, pulmonary vascular capacitance, cardiac eutput (Qc), Exhaled nitric oxide (exNO), and other respiratory variables were measured before and after ergometry. Patients were randomized to 8 days of beetroot juice or placebo and on day 8 the above protocol was repeated. Effects of high nitrate juice intake on indices of arterial stiffness (Appendix D) were studied by aortic PWV and central aortic pressure (cAP) before and after exercise. Only the single breath DLCO relative to Qc and body weight were significant resting predictors of exercise intolerance. COPD patients who did expand gas exchange surface area during exercise relative to Qc had a more preserved exercise capacity. Beetroot juice showed a (non significant) trend in improving exercise performance and pulmonary gas exchange surface area. The juice significantly lowered blood pressure, increased exNO and improved the patient overall wellbeing through objective scoring. The juice did not affect PWV before exercise in this cohort, but there was an effect of dietary nitrate on brachial systolic and pulse pressure, aortic pulse pressure and reflection magnitude determined from cAP. The three sets of novel experiments showed that exercise limitation in COPD is affected by alveolar-capillary gas exchange impairment attributed to impairment of pulmonary capillary recruitment. DLCO is a good measure of pulmonary vascular health and exercise intolerance in COPD. Dietary nitrate did neither significantly improve alveolar gas exchange nor improve indices of arterial stiffness in this cohort, though positive trends were observed.

description: A complete canonical formulation of general covariance makes it possible to construct new modified theories of gravity that are not of higher-curvature form, as shown here in a spherically symmetric setting. The usual uniqueness theorems are evaded by using a crucial and novel ingredient, allowing for fundamental fields of gravity distinct from an emergent space-time metric that provides a geometrical structure to all solutions. As specific examples, there are new expansion-shear couplings in cosmological models, a form of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) can appear in a space-time covariant theory without introducing extra fields, and related effects help to make effective models of canonical quantum gravity fully consistent with general covariance.

description: In this proceedings we discuss recent findings regarding the large order behavior of the Chapman-Enskog expansion in relativistic kinetic theory. It is shown that this series in powers of the Knudsen number has zero radius of convergence in the case of a Bjorken expanding fluid described by the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation. This divergence stems from the presence of non-hydrodynamic modes, which give non-perturbative contributions to the Knudsen series.
