description: One reports computational study revealing a set of general requirements, fulfilling of which would allow employing changes in ambient conditions to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome of emerging active network patterns in an ensemble of a moderate number of finite discrete systems. The patterns within all these component systems emerge out of random expansion process governed by certain local rule. The systems modeled are of the same type but different in details, finite discrete spatial domains of the expansion within the systems are equivalent regular hexagonal arrays. The way in which elements of a component system function in the local information transmission allows dividing them into two classes. One class is represented by zero-dimensional entities coupled into pairs identified at the array sites being nearest neighbors. The pairs preserve their orientation in the space while experiencing conditional hopping to positions close by and transferring certain information portions. Messenger particles hopping to signal the pairs for the conditional jumping constitute the other class. Contribution from the hopping pairs results in finite size effects being specific feature of accomplishing the mean expected network pattern representing the collective outcome. It is shown how manifestations of the finite size effects allow using changes in parameters of the model ambient conditions of the ensemble evolution to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome representation.

description: In this note, we calculate the leading term of the rational lift of the Kontsevich integral, introduced by Garoufalidis and Kricker, on the boundary of an embedded grope of class 2n. We observe that it lies in the subspace spanned by connected diagrams of Euler degree 2n-2 which have a bead t-1 on a single edge. This places severe algebraic restrictions on the sort of knots that can bound gropes, and in particular implies the two main results of the author's thesis, at least over the rationals.

description: Building footprint maps are vital to many remote sensing applications, such as 3D building modeling, urban planning, and disaster management. Due to the complexity of buildings, the accurate and reliable generation of the building footprint from remote sensing imagery is still a challenging task. In this work, an end-to-end building footprint generation approach that integrates convolution neural network (CNN) and graph model is proposed. CNN serves as the feature extractor, while the graph model can take spatial correlation into consideration. Moreover, we propose to implement the feature pairwise conditional random field (FPCRF) as a graph model to preserve sharp boundaries and fine-grained segmentation. Experiments are conducted on four different datasets: (1) Planetscope satellite imagery of the cities of Munich, Paris, Rome, and Zurich; (2) ISPRS benchmark data from the city of Potsdam, (3) Dstl Kaggle dataset; and (4) Inria Aerial Image Labeling data of Austin, Chicago, Kitsap County, Western Tyrol, and Vienna. It is found that the proposed end-to-end building footprint generation framework with the FPCRF as the graph model can further improve the accuracy of building footprint generation by using only CNN, which is the current state-of-the-art.

title: Diabetes isn't an illness- It's a nuisance
Creators: name: Smith, Julie Rosemary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: Diabetes is a controllable, but not curable, long term condition usually self-managed in daily life. Much existing knowledge of diabetes is focussed on the biomedical and compliance models of care. In contrast, this thesis focuses on how women in midlife perceive the experience of living with diabetes.

An exploratory sequential mixed methods approach, within a feminist empowerment framework, examined the experiences of women aged 41-60 with insulin treated diabetes. Data collection methods included a focus group (Stage 1; n=5), survey (Stage 2; n=59), and face to face interviews and journal keeping (Stage 3; n=23 and 18 respectively). It is with the final stage that this thesis is primarily concerned. Ethical approval was obtained from an advisory ethics committee at the Open University.

The research questions were:

- What do women describe as stressful in relation to their insulin treated diabetes?

- What impact do these stressors have on women's lives?

- How do women with insulin treated diabetes interpret and manage their lives?

Two overarching and interlinked themes of experiencing stress and maintaining control were identified from Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three other major themes were:

- Diabetes as a nuisance;

- Diabetes in daily life;

- Diabetes during times of crisis.

Conclusions were that women in midlife who live with diabetes experience a range of stressors, and that there is a complex cyclical relationship between stress and diabetes with the potential for this to become a spiralling one. The originality of the study is in the area of identifying diabetes as a nuisance. Poetic representation of the data has been utilised to represent this theme, which will be used in dissemination of findings to both lay and professional audiences. There is the potential for both clinical application of these findings and future research.

Alternative probabilistic representations of the Barenblatt-type solutions $u(x,t)$ are proposed. In the one-dimensional case, by means of this approach, $u(x,t)$ can be connected with the wave propagation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Detrimental microbes caused the evolution of a great diversity of antimicrobial defenses in plants and animals. Insects developing underground seem particularly threatened. Here we show that the eggs of a solitary digger wasp, the European beewolf Philanthus triangulum, emit large amounts of gaseous nitric oxide (NO⋅) to protect themselves and their provisions, paralyzed honeybees, against mold fungi. We provide evidence that a NO-synthase (NOS) is involved in the generation of the extraordinary concentrations of nitrogen radicals in brood cells (~1500 ppm NO⋅ and its oxidation product NO2⋅). Sequencing of the beewolf NOS gene revealed no conspicuous differences to related species. However, due to alternative splicing, the NOS-mRNA in beewolf eggs lacks an exon near the regulatory domain. This preventive external application of high doses of NO⋅ by wasp eggs represents an evolutionary key innovation that adds a remarkable novel facet to the array of functions of the important biological effector NO⋅.

description: In this letter we study the full semi-conservative treatment of a model for the co-evolution of a virus and an adaptive immune system. Regions of viability are calculated for both conservatively and semi-conservatively replicating viruses interacting with a realistic semi-conservatively replicating immune system. The conservative virus is found to have a selective advantage in the form of an ability to survive in regions with a wider range of mutation rates than its semi-conservative counterpart. This may help explain the existence of a rich range of viruses with conservatively replicating genomes, a trait which is found nowhere else in nature.

description: Thermal transport in the T -> 0 limit was measured as a function of doping in high-quality single crystals of the cuprate superconductor YBa_2Cu_3O_y. The residual linear term kappa_0/T is found to decrease as one moves from the overdoped regime towards the Mott insulator region of the phase diagram. The doping dependence of the low-energy quasiparticle gap extracted from kappa_0/T is seen to scale closely with that of the pseudogap, arguing against a non-superconducting origin for the pseudogap. The presence of a linear term for all dopings is evidence against the existence of a quantum phase transition to an order parameter with a complex (ix) component.

title: Structural and functional characterization of human ERp44: a closer look at a member of PDI family regulating protein quality control in the early secretory pathway
Creators: name: Vavassori, Stefano
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is the site of folding and assembly of secretory proteins. Fidelity of protein-based intracellular communication is guaranteed by protein quality control mechanisms located at the Early Secretory Compartment (ESC), which restricts forward transport to native proteins. ERp44 plays a key role in the Thiol-Mediated Retention (TMR) of variety of client proteins (Ero1, SUMF1, Adiponectin, IgM) thus regulating their transport and localization. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms of ERp44-TMR and how it is regulated in living cells. Hence, the overall aim of this work is to investigate the structure-function relationship of ERp44. In collaboration with Wang's group the crystal structure of ERp44 was determined. The structure of ERp44 most likely represents a non-reactive conformation of the protein. Indeed, Cys29 is shielded from the bulk solvent by C-terminal tail and almost inaccessible for the formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds with client proteins. Based on the obtained structural data and functional studies, a panel of mutants of ERp44 has been characterized in order to understand how C-terminal tail rearrangements expose substrate binding site, thus modulating substrates binding/ release in view of its role in TMR. Moreover, the pH gradient between ESC organelles was investigated as major determinant of C-terminal tail rearrangements. Given the known pH differences in the ESC, the data support the hypothesis of a role of the pH variation in governing ERp44-TMR activity in vivo. A deeper knowledge of the structure/function relationship of ERp44 will shed light on the protein quality control mechanisms thus providing essential knowledge of ESC processing diseases and in biotechnology, improving the production of man-made therapeutic proteins.

Maximal symmetries of all supercells are reduced by structural instabilities. Lattice modes corresponding to these instabilities, equilibrium ionic positions, and infrared reflectivity spectra were computed for all supercells.

description: Recent advances in deep neural network demand more than millions of parameters to handle and mandate the high-performance computing resources with improved efficiency. The cross-bar array architecture has been considered as one of the promising deep learning architectures that shows a significant computing gain over the conventional processors. To investigate the feasibility of the architecture, we examine non-idealities and their impact on the performance. Specifically, we study the impact of failed cells due to the initialization process of the resistive memory based cross-bar array. Unlike the conventional memory array, individual memory elements cannot be rerouted and, thus, may have a critical impact on model accuracy. We categorize the possible failures and propose hardware implementation that minimizes catastrophic failures. Such hardware optimization bounds the possible logical value of the failed cells and gives us opportunities to compensate for the loss of accuracy via off-line training. By introducing the random weight defects during the training, we show that the model becomes more resilient on the device initialization failures, therefore, less prone to degrade the inference performance due to the failed devices. Our study sheds light on the hardware and software co-optimization procedure to cope with potentially catastrophic failures in the cross-bar array.

description: Ferropericlase (Fp), (Mg$_\mathrm{1-x}$Fe$_\mathrm{x}$)O, is the second most abundant phase in the Earths lower mantle. At relevant pressure-temperature conditions, iron in Fp undergoes a high spin (HS), S=2, to low spin (LS), S=0, state change. The nature of this phenomenon is quite well understood now, but there are still basic questions regarding the structural stability and the existence of soft phonon modes during this iron state change. General theories exist to explain the volume reduction, the significant thermo-elastic anomalies, and the broad nature of this HS-LS crossover. These theories make extensive use of the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA). Therefore, dynamical and structural stability is essential to their validity. Here, we investigate the vibrational spectrum of Fp throughout this spin-crossover using $\textit{ab initio}$ DFT+Usc calculations. We address vibrational modes associated with isolated and (2nd) nearest neighbor iron ions undergoing the HS-LS state change. As expected, acoustic modes of this solid solution are resilient while optical modes are the most affected. We show that there are no soft phonon modes across this HS-LS crossover, and Fp is dynamically stable at all relevant pressures.

description: We study the statistical properties of spherical harmonic modes of temperature maps of the cosmic microwave background. Unlike other studies, which focus mainly on properties of the amplitudes of these modes, we look instead at their phases. In particular, we present a simple measure of phase correlation that can be diagnostic of departures from the standard assumption that primordial density fluctuations constitute a statistically homogeneous and isotropic Gaussian random field, which should possess phases that are uniformly random on the unit circle. The method we discuss checks for the uniformity of the distribution of phase angles using a non-parametric descriptor based on the use order statistics, which is known as Kuiper's statistic. The particular advantage of the method we present is that, when coupled to the judicious use of Monte Carlo simulations, it can deliver very interesting results from small data samples. In particular, it is useful for studying the properties of spherical harmonics at low l for which there are only small number of independent values of m and which therefore furnish only a small number of phases for analysis. We apply the method to the COBE-DMR and WMAP sky maps, and find departures from uniformity in both. In the case of WMAP, our results probably reflect Galactic contamination or the known variation of signal-to-noise across the sky rather than primordial non-Gaussianity.

Realizing racial and ethnic neighborhood preferences? exploring the mismatches between what people want, where they search, and where they live

description: The housing search process is an overlooked mechanism in the scholarly research that seeks to understand the causes of persistent racial residential segregation in the United States. Past research has explored in detail the preferences people hold in terms of the racial and ethnic composition of their neighborhoods, and more recently some have also examined the correspondence between racial and ethnic neighborhood preferences and current neighborhood racial/ethnic composition. But an intermediate stage—the racial/ethnic composition of where people search—has not been investigated. We analyze a subsample (n = 382) from the 2004–2005 Chicago Area Study to demonstrate the value of systematically studying the matches—or mismatches—between preferences, search locations, and neighborhood outcomes. We find that for whites, not only their current neighborhoods but also the neighborhoods in which they search for housing have larger percentages of whites than they say they prefer. In contrast, blacks—and to a lesser extent Latinos— search in neighborhoods that correspond to their preferences, but reside in neighborhoods with a larger percentage own group. Logistic regression analyses reveal that mismatches are associated with both a lack of information and inadequate finances, but also may be due to socially desirable responding for whites in particular. Our results provide suggestive evidence of the importance of unpacking the search process more generally and draw attention to what are likely to be productive new future data collection efforts as well as an area potentially ripe for policy interventions.

description: We analyze the spectrum of an unusually-low mass white dwarf, SDSSJ123410.37-022802.9 (0335-264-52000), found in our recent, white dwarf catalog from the SDSS DR1 data release. Two independent, model atmosphere fits result in an accurate determination of atmospheric and stellar parameters. The more hands-on analysis yields $T_{\rm eff}$ =17,470$\pm$750 K and $\log g$ = 6.38$\pm$0.05. We argue that the object cannot be a main sequence A star, a horizontal branch or subdwarf B star. Instead, it is interpreted as a very low mass white dwarf with a core composed of helium, with mass ($\sim$0.18-0.19$M_\odot$), similar to that published previously for the unusual companion to the millisecond pulsar J1012+5307. The star probably remains in a binary, perhaps even with an undiscovered or dead pulsar companion. However, the companion might be a more-ordinary star, provided Roche lobe mass transfer began shortly after the now-visible component left the main sequence. A second SDSS low mass white dwarf candidate is also analyzed, but the spectrum for this fainter object is of poorer quality. The sample appears to include additional, similar candidates, worthy of more accurate observation. Correct identification of any additional white dwarfs of extremely low mass requires careful observation and interpretation.

description: Transverse waves are sometimes observed in solar helmet streamers, typically after the passage of a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME-driven shock wave moves the streamer sideways, and a decaying oscillation of the streamer is observed after the CME passage. Previous works generally reported observations of streamer oscillations taken from a single vantage point (typically the SOHO spacecraft). We conduct a data survey searching for streamer wave events observed by the COR2 coronagraphs onboard the STEREO spacecraft. For the first time, we report observations of streamer wave events from multiple vantage points, by using the COR2 instrument on both STEREO A and B, as well as the SOHO/LASCO C2+C3 coronagraphs. We investigate the properties of streamer waves by comparing the different events and performing a statistical analysis. Common observational features give us additional insight on the physical nature of streamer wave events. The most important conclusion is that there appears to be no relation between the speed of the CME and the phase speed of the resulting streamer wave, indicating that the streamer wave speed is determined by the physical properties of the streamer rather than the properties of the CME. This result makes streamer waves events excellent candidates for coronal seismology studies. From a comparison between the measured phase speeds and the phase speeds calculated from the measured periods and wavelengths, we could determine that the speed of the post-shock solar wind flow in our streamers is around 300 $\mathrm{km \ s}^{-1}$.

Realizing racial and ethnic neighborhood preferences? exploring the mismatches between what people want, where they search, and where they live

description: The housing search process is an overlooked mechanism in the scholarly research that seeks to understand the causes of persistent racial residential segregation in the United States. Past research has explored in detail the preferences people hold in terms of the racial and ethnic composition of their neighborhoods, and more recently some have also examined the correspondence between racial and ethnic neighborhood preferences and current neighborhood racial/ethnic composition. But an intermediate stage—the racial/ethnic composition of where people search—has not been investigated. We analyze a subsample (n = 382) from the 2004–2005 Chicago Area Study to demonstrate the value of systematically studying the matches—or mismatches—between preferences, search locations, and neighborhood outcomes. We find that for whites, not only their current neighborhoods but also the neighborhoods in which they search for housing have larger percentages of whites than they say they prefer. In contrast, blacks—and to a lesser extent Latinos— search in neighborhoods that correspond to their preferences, but reside in neighborhoods with a larger percentage own group. Logistic regression analyses reveal that mismatches are associated with both a lack of information and inadequate finances, but also may be due to socially desirable responding for whites in particular. Our results provide suggestive evidence of the importance of unpacking the search process more generally and draw attention to what are likely to be productive new future data collection efforts as well as an area potentially ripe for policy interventions.

description: It is generally accepted that a system undergoing uniform acceleration with respect to zero-temperature vacuum will thermalize at a finite temperature (the so-called Unruh temperature) that is proportional to the acceleration. However, the question of whether or not the system actually radiates is highly controversial. Thus, we are motivated to present an exact calculation using a generalized quantum Langevin equation to describe an oscillator (the detector) moving under a constant force and coupled to a one-dimensional scalar field (scalar electrodynamics). Moreover, our analysis is simplified by using the oscillator as a detector. We show that this system does not radiate despite the fact that it does in fact thermalize at the Unruh temperature. We remark upon a differing opinion expressed regarding a system coupled to the electromagnetic field.

description: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by maladaptive levels across three personality domains: Neuroticism, (low) Agreeableness, and (low) Conscientiousness. The Unified Protocol (UP) is a transdiagnostic treatment that targets neuroticism and has demonstrated promising effects with BPD. However, not all individuals with BPD respond to UP treatment. The aim of the current study was to explore the extent to which the UP is an efficacious treatment for BPD symptoms. This study represents a secondary analysis of a clinical trial in which the UP was the study treatment; data from the full sample and a subset of nine participants who likely met criteria for BPD were included. First, we explored within-group changes in general BPD symptoms, along with specific symptom domains. Improvements in total BPD symptoms were not observed in the full sample, whereas the UP resulted in moderate overall BPD symptom improvement among participants with BPD. Contrary to expectations, emotional difficulties did not exhibit larger effects than other domains. We also explored differences in within-person change in BPD scores during treatment based on patients’ FFM profiles at baseline. Change on BPD symptoms was not predicted by a typical BPD FFM profile. Possible explanations for the results and limitations were discussed.

description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of FeSe under the in-plane magnetic fields using torque magnetometry, specific heat, magnetocaloric measurements. Below the upper critical field Hc2, we observed the field-induced anomalies at H1 ~ 15 T and H2 ~ 22 T near H//ab and below a characteristic temperature T* ~ 2 K. The transition magnetic fields H1 and H2 exhibit negligible dependence on both temperature and field orientation. This contrasts with the strong temperature and angle dependence of Hc2, suggesting that these anomalies are attributed to the field-induced phase transitions, originating from the inherent spin-density-wave instability of quasiparticles near the superconducting gap minima or possible Flude-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in the highly spin-polarized Fermi surfaces. Our observations imply that FeSe, an atypical multiband superconductor with extremely small Fermi energies, represents a unique model system for stabilizing unusual superconducting orders beyond the Pauli limit.

description: The ensemble of RNA secondary structures of uniform sequences is studied analytically. We calculate the partition function for very long sequences and discuss how the cross-over length, beyond which asymptotic scaling laws apply, depends on thermodynamic parameters. For realistic choices of parameters this length can be much longer than natural RNA molecules. This has to be taken into account when applying asymptotic theory to interpret experiments or numerical results.
