description: We examine maximum vertex coloring of random geometric graphs, in an arbitrary but fixed dimension, with a constant number of colors. Since this problem is neither scale-invariant nor smooth, the usual methodology to obtain limit laws cannot be applied. We therefore leverage different concepts based on subadditivity to establish convergence laws for the maximum number of vertices that can be colored. For the constants that appear in these results, we provide the exact value in dimension one, and upper and lower bounds in higher dimensions.
Modeling Down Syndrome Cortical Neurogenesis in Human Cerebral Organoids

description: Trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21) results in Down syndrome (DS), which is the leading genetic cause of intellectual disability. Due to limited experimental tools that allow the examination of human corticogenesis, information about the molecular signals underlying aberrant cortical development in DS is scarce. To recapitulate the complexity of human cortical development in an accessible system, we utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from DS patients and age-matched cognitively normal controls, and examined the temporal and spatial expression of key neurogenic regulators during the development of human cerebral organoids (hCOs). We show, for the first time, impairments in the expression of genes regulating cell proliferation, fate determination and neuronal differentiation, as well as defective temporal control and spatial patterning of the developing cortex. We show that these impairments are apparent as early as day 27 of hCO development, which corresponds to gestation week 8. Additionally, we show altered expression of key neurogenic signals located on chromosome 21. These findings suggest that triplicated HSA21 severely compromises the expression of proteins mastering corticogenesis, which leads to defective brain development at early stages of gestation. This study establishes a gene network underlying brain malformation in DS.

description: It is widely accepted that the notion of an inertial frame is central to Newtonian mechanics and that the correct space-time structure underlying $\text{Newton's}$ methods in $\textit{Principia}$ is neo-Newtonian or Galilean space-time. I argue to the contrary that inertial frames are not needed in $\text{Newton's}$ theory of motion, and that the right space-time structure for $\text{Newton's}$ $\textit{Principia}$ requires the notion of parallelism of spatial directions at different times and nothing more.

description: Josephson junctions are the most prominent nondissipative and at the same time nonlinear elements in superconducting circuits allowing Cooper pairs to tunnel coherently between two superconductors separated by a tunneling barrier. Due to this, physical systems involving Josephson junctions show highly complex behavior and interesting novel phenomena. Here, we consider an infinite one-dimensional chain of superconducting islands where neighboring islands are coupled by capacitances. We study the effect of Josephson junctions shunting each island to a common ground superconductor. We treat the system in the regime where the Josephson energy exceeds the capacitive coupling between the islands. For the case of two offset charges on two distinct islands, we calculate the interaction energy of these charges mediated by quantum phase slips due to the Josephson nonlinearities. We treat the phase slips in an instanton approximation and map the problem onto a classical partition function of interacting particles. Using the Mayer cluster expansion, we find that the interaction potential of the offset charges decays with an universal inverse-square power law behavior.

description: Context. The details of the C/O core structure in white dwarf stars has mostly remained inaccessible to the technique of asteroseismology, despite several attempts carried out in the past. Aims. We re-assess the potential of asteroseismology for probing the chemical stratification in white dwarf cores, in light of new highly efficient tools recently developed for that purpose. Methods. Using the forward modeling approach and a new parameterization for the core chemical stratification in ZZ Ceti stars, we test several situations typical of the usually limited constraints available, such as small numbers of observed independent modes, to carry out asteroseismology of these stars. Results. We find that, even with a limited number of modes, the core chemical stratification (in particular, the location of the steep chemical transitions expected in the oxygen profile) can be determined quite precisely due to the significant sensitivity of some confined modes to partial reflexion (trapping) effects. These effects are similar to the well known trapping induced by the shallower chemical transitions at the edge of the core and at the bottom of the H-rich envelope. We also find that success to unravel the core structure depends on the information content of the available seismic data. In some cases, it may not be possible to isolate a unique, well-defined seismic solution and the problem remains degenerate. Conclusions. Our results establish that constraining the core chemical stratification in white dwarf stars based solely on asteroseismology is possible, an opportunity that we have started to exploit.

Mobility Limitation and Body Mass Index: Identifying Impact and Environmental Moderating Effects
Creators: name: Eisenberg, Yochai
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Obesity is more prevalent among people with mobility limitations than those without. Having a mobility limitation is associated with obesity in cross-sectional studies but the role of mobility limitations in causing increases in weight is unclear. The direction of this relationship is important for informing how public health policy and interventions should address the high rate of obesity among people with mobility limitations. It is also important to understand what personal and environmental factors might moderate this relationship. Unfortunately there are few longitudinal surveys available for studying mobility limitation in adults over time. Healthcare administrative data provide new opportunities for research but there are challenges to using such data to study people with mobility limitations. The overall purpose of this dissertation was to better understand the effect of a mobility limitation on BMI and how that effect is modified in the context of personal and environmental factors. The first chapter of this dissertation is a study about the development of a predictive algorithm to identify people with mobility limitations using healthcare administrative data. I linked healthcare administrative data to self-reported mobility limitation and tested different predictive models. I found that a multilevel mobility limitation approach did not work well but a binary mobility limitation algorithm had good sensitivity and specificity. I used the algorithm in chapters two and three to study people with mobility limitation in a large, national cohort of veterans from the Weight and Veterans Environment Study. Chapter two was a longitudinal study to tease out the effects of a mobility limitation on BMI. I used fixed effects regression models that address important threats to causal interpretation of the findings. I found that having a mobility limitation increased BMI but by a smaller magnitude than previously reported. There were larger effects among younger aged veterans and those with many comorbidities. In the third chapter, I examined the role of the neighborhood environment as a moderator of the relationship between mobility limitation and BMI among a national sample of veterans. I found that the higher the level of neighborhood walkability, the smaller the effect of mobility limitation on BMI. Additionally, being in a high poverty and low walkability neighborhood was associated with a higher increase in BMI as a result of a mobility limitation. The findings from this dissertation have implications for public health research, practice, and policy.

description: We introduce a new type of topological magnon matter: the magnonic pendant to electronic nodal-line semimetals. Magnon spectra of anisotropic pyrochlore ferromagnets feature twofold degeneracies of magnon bands along a closed loop in reciprocal space. These magnon nodal lines are topologically protected by the coexistence of inversion and time-reversal symmetry; they require the absence of spin-orbit interaction (no Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction). We calculate the topological invariants of the nodal lines and show that details of the associated magnon drumhead surface states depend strongly on the termination of the surface. Magnon nodal-line semimetals complete the family of topological magnons in three-dimensional ferromagnetic materials.

description: We present the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) atlas for a complete flux limited sample of local Ultra-Luminous Infra-Red Galaxies as part of the HERschel ULIRG Survey (HERUS). The data reduction is described in detail and was optimized for faint FTS sources with particular care being taken with the subtraction of the background which dominates the continuum shape of the spectra. Special treatment in the data reduction has been given to any observation suffering from artefacts in the data caused by anomalous instrumental effects to improve the final spectra. Complete spectra are shown covering $200 - 671μ$m with photometry in the SPIRE bands at 250$μ$m, 350$μ$m and 500$μ$m. The spectra include near complete CO ladders for over half of our sample, as well as fine structure lines from [CI] 370 $μ$m, [CI] 609 $μ$m, and [NII] 205 $μ$m. We also detect H$_{2}$O lines in several objects. We construct CO Spectral Line Energy Distributions (SLEDs) for the sample, and compare their slopes with the far-infrared colours and luminosities. We show that the CO SLEDs of ULIRGs can be broadly grouped into three classes based on their excitation. We find that the mid-J (5$

description: Asphaltenes are known to have a high tendency to form aggregates that may eventually deposit causing fouling in porous media of the oil reservoirs and flow lines. Literature is rich with the statistical and macroscopic aspects of asphaltene aggregation and deposition but there is a lack of understanding the fundamentals of asphaltenes and their behavior at microscopic level. A series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the phenomenon of asphaltene aggregation and deposition and the aggregation inhibition techniques such as applying an external magnetic field. The results showed that asphaltene behavior was affected by the aromaticity of the associated organic solvent and the molecular structure of asphaltene fragments. However, the key determinant of asphaltene aggregation is the molecular structure of asphaltenes whereas the number and length of chains, the presence of heteroatoms, and the number and size of the aromatic cores influence the aggregation intensity. In addition to the asphaltene structure, the injected gases (nitrogen and air) enhanced the asphaltene aggregation significantly, whereas structures with long aliphatic chains and archipelago architecture revealed low association affinity than other flat asphaltenes. To alleviate asphaltene aggregation, an external magnetic field with different intensities was applied on asphaltene aggregates and the governed results showed an increase and decrease in asphaltene aggregation depending on magnetic field intensity, the medium, and asphaltene structure. Finally, the aggregated asphaltenes showed a tendency to be deposited on calcite surface (both rough and smooth). Deposition kinetics are influenced by the calcite surface morphology such that the deposition was higher on the rough surface than on the smooth surface. These results provide microscale insights on asphaltene aggregation, deposition and aggregation inhibition under different conditions which contribute positively in improving the application of enhanced oil recovery.

description: Phylogenetic networks are increasingly used in evolutionary biology to represent the history of species that have undergone reticulate events such as horizontal gene transfer, hybrid speciation and recombination. One of the most fundamental questions that arise in this context is whether the evolution of a gene with one copy in all species can be explained by a given network. In mathematical terms, this is often translated in the following way: is a given phylogenetic tree contained in a given phylogenetic network? Recently this tree containment problem has been widely investigated from a computational perspective, but most studies have only focused on the topology of the phylo- genies, ignoring a piece of information that, in the case of phylogenetic trees, is routinely inferred by evolutionary analyses: branch lengths. These measure the amount of change (e.g., nucleotide substitutions) that has occurred along each branch of the phylogeny. Here, we study a number of versions of the tree containment problem that explicitly account for branch lengths. We show that, although length information has the potential to locate more precisely a tree within a network, the problem is computationally hard in its most general form. On a positive note, for a number of special cases of biological relevance, we provide algorithms that solve this problem efficiently. This includes the case of networks of limited complexity, for which it is possible to recover, among the trees contained by the network with the same topology as the input tree, the closest one in terms of branch lengths.

description: Memristors have pinched hysteresis loops in the $V-I$ plane. Ideal memristors are everywhere non-linear, cross at zero and are rotationally symmetric. In this paper we extend memristor theory to produce different types of non-ideality and find that: including a background current (such as an ionic current) moves the crossing point away from zero; including a degradation resistance (that increases with experimental time) leads to an asymmetry; modelling a low resistance filament in parallel describes triangular $V-I$ curves with a straight-line low resistance state. A novel measurement of hysteresis asymmetry was introduced based on hysteresis and it was found that which lobe was bigger depended on the size of the breaking current relative to the memristance. The hysteresis varied differently with each type of non-ideality, suggesting that measurements of several device I-V curves and calculation of these parameters could give an indication of the underlying mechanism.

description: We report the results of a Green Bank Telescope survey for water masers, ammonia (1,1) and (2,2), and the H66-alpha recombination line toward 506 luminous compact 24 micron-emitting regions in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). We include the 206 sources observed in the Darling (2011) water maser survey for completeness. The survey was sensitive enough to detect any maser useful for ~10 microarcsecond/yr astrometry. No new water masers, ammonia lines, or H66-alpha recombination lines were detected individually or in spectral stacks reaching rms noise levels of ~3 mJy and ~0.2 mJy, respectively, in 3.1-3.3 km/s channels. The lack of detections in individual spectra and in the spectral stacks is consistent with Galactic extrapolations. Contrary to previous assertions, there do not seem to be additional bright water masers to be found in M31. The strong variability of water masers may enable new maser detections in the future, but variability may also limit the astrometric utility of known (or future) masers since flaring masers must also fade.

Undocumented Citizens: The Legacies Of The Propiska System In A Post-Soviet City

description: Being “undocumented” is most often referred to immigrants who reside in a host country without authorization but little is known about contexts in which citizens become undocumented, too. In many cities of the developing world, particularly in communist and post-communist states, rural-to-urban migrants constitute a sizable group. They face challenges to their citizenship rights as economic and social underclass due to long-standing residence registration policies, such as propiska, which is the main topic of this dissertation. Propiska, a system of permanent residence registration, is perhaps the most enduring communist policy that has survived through democratization and liberalization processes in the countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. Previously used as a Stalinist tool of population control and repression, propiska now functions as a mechanism for political and economic exclusion of rural migrants in urban centers. Although the policy has been incrementally reformed to allow free movement, but to this day rural migrants who lack local registration have not gained access to the same social and political rights as their urban counterparts. Despite being full citizens, unregistered rural-to-urban migrants are excluded from participation in local elections, as well face barriers to welfare due to lack of propiska. However, they are able to obtain social services through informal everyday interactions with street-level bureaucrats at state institutions, such as offices of public agencies, public schools, and health clinics. These interactions often involve informal arrangements that may take forms of exchange of favors, gifts, and bribes. As a result, we observe a peculiar form of urban governance, where the state restricts formal distribution of welfare yet simultaneously tolerates the informal and at times extralegal arrangements between the people and the street-level bureaucrats. In order to illustrate why and how registration policies are resilient this research is based on a case study of propiska system in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Using historical-intuitionalism approach and qualitative methods, this dissertation seeks to illustrate the paradox of “undocumented citizens”. It attempts to explain the process of adaptation of one policy in three completely different political and economic regimes, where timing and sequence of certain events determine who is affected by the policy and how. This dissertation also demonstrates how old inequalities produced by the old system and the new inequalities produced by the new system are layered on top of each other; thereby thickening the lines between deserving and undeserving, members and strangers, visible and invisible.

description: Breakup of water jets under gravity is a common-place phenomenon. The role of surface tension in the instability of water jets was recognized by Rayleigh and the theory propounded goes by the name of Plateau-Rayleigh theory. The necks and bulges down along the jet-length that are created by perturbation waves of wavelengths larger than a certain value keep growing with time and ultimately cause the jet to breakup into drops. The effect of perturbation waves have been investigated experimentally and found to confirm the essentials of the theory. However, there is no unanimity about the origin of these perturbation waves. Recently, the idea of recoil capillary waves as an important source of the perturbation waves has been emphasized. The recoil of the end point of the remaining continuous jet at its breakup point is considered to travel upward as a recoil capillary wave which gets reflected at the mouth of the nozzle from which the jet originates. The reflected capillary wave travels along the jet downward with its Doppler shifted wavelength as a perturbation wave. We set up an experiment to directly verify the existence and effect of the recoil capillary waves and present some preliminary results of our experiment.

description: We analyze multi-spacecraft observations associated with the 2012 July 12 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), covering the source region on the Sun from SDO, stereoscopic imaging observations from STEREO, magnetic field characteristics at MESSENGER, and type II radio burst and in situ measurements from Wind. A triangulation method based on STEREO stereoscopic observations is employed to determine the kinematics of the CME, and the outcome is compared with the result derived from the type II radio burst with a solar wind electron density model. A Grad-Shafranov technique is applied to Wind in situ data to reconstruct the flux-rope structure and compare it with the observation of the solar source region, which helps understand the geo-effectiveness associated with the CME structure. Conclusions are as follows: (1) the CME undergoes an impulsive acceleration, a rapid deceleration before reaching MESSENGER, and then a gradual deceleration out to 1 AU, which should be noticed in CME kinematics models; (2) the type II radio burst was probably produced from a high-density interaction region between the CME-driven shock and a nearby streamer or from the shock flank with lower heights, which implies uncertainties in the determination of CME kinematics using solely type II radio bursts; (3) the flux-rope orientation and chirality deduced from in situ reconstruction at Wind agree with those obtained from solar source observations; (4) the prolonged southward magnetic field near the Earth is mainly from the axial component of the largely southward inclined flux rope, which indicates the importance of predicting both the flux-rope orientation and magnetic field components in geomagnetic activity forecasting.

The Effects of Hypercholesterolemia on Wound Healing and Angiogenesis

description: Hypercholesterolemia, a nationwide problem, is excess cholesterol in the bloodstream, including both excess LDL and oxLDL. The true issue with hypercholesterolemia is the possible, adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as myocardial infarction or stroke. This dissertation investigates how hypercholesterolemia affects endothelial cells and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. These studies serve to show that exposing endothelial cells to hypercholesterolemic conditions, elevated levels of LDL similar to those seen in hypercholesterolemic patients, leads to cholesterol loading of endothelial cells. Additionally, this excess LDL leads to an increase in the lipid ordering of the cell membrane, as assessed by Laurdan 2-photon microscopy, which is consistent with an increase in the free cholesterol within the membrane bilayer. Notably, this effect is in direct opposition to that seen when cells are exposed to oxidized LDL, as seen in previously published work (Shentu et al. 2012) . These pathological levels of LDL also lead to an inhibition of endothelial proliferation, also opposite to the effects of oxidized LDL, which was previously shown to enhance endothelial proliferation (Zhang et al. 2017; Yu et al. 2011). When looking at in vivo angiogenesis, there was a difference seen in hypercholesterolemic mouse models. Matrigel plugs extracted from ApoE-/-, a mouse model of hypercholesterolemia, show a significant decrease in CD31/PECAM endothelial-specific staining, as compared to wild-type age and gender-matched controls, indicating decreased angiogenesis. Another mouse model of hypercholesterolemia, wild-type mice fed Western Diet for 24 weeks, did not show a significant anti-angiogenic effect. However, when that diet was extended to 40 weeks, there was strong angiogenesis inhibition. Finally, it was seen with a wound healing model that ApoE-/- mice show decreased angiogenesis during wound healing process following skin punch biopsies, as assayed by the level of CD31/PECAM expression and CD31/PECAM endothelial-specific staining. These same hypercholesterolemic mice show delayed wound closure, as well as an altered inflammation timeline, compared to their wild type control counterparts. Based upon both the current dissertation data and previous data (Oh et al. 2016), we suggest that excess LDL is anti-angiogenic, whereas excess oxLDL is pro-angiogenic. This dichotomy that exists between LDL and OxLDL may account for the controversial findings amongst the various angiogenesis models, and hypercholesterolemia’s effect upon them. Further studies can delve even further into this phenomenon and try to tease apart the mechanisms that may distinguish between the two effects in vivo.
Dynamics of semi-superfluid fluxtubes in color-flavor locked quark matter

description: At very high densities, as for example in the core of a neutron star, matter may appear in the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase, which is a superfluid. This phase features topologically stable vortex solutions, which arise in a spinning superfluid as localized configurations carrying quanta of angular momentum. Despite the topological stability of these vortices they are not the lowest energy state of the system at neutron star densities and decay into triplets of semi-superfluid fluxtubes. In these proceedings we report on the progress of our numerical study in the Ginzburg-Landau approach, where we investigate lattices of semi-superfluid fluxtubes. The fluxtubes are obtained through controlled decay of global vortex configurations in the presence of a gauge field. Understanding the dynamics of semi-superfluid string configurations is important in the context of angular momentum transfer from a quark matter core of a neutron star beyond the core boundary, since not vortex-, but fluxtube pinning seems to be the relevant mechanism in this scenario.

Water Masers in the Andromeda Galaxy: II. Where Do Masers Arise?

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We present a comparative multi-wavelength analysis of water maser-emitting regions and non-maser-emitting luminous 24 micron star-forming regions in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) to identify the sites most likely to produce luminous water masers useful for astrometry and proper motion studies. Included in the analysis are Spitzer 24 micron photometry, Herschel 70 and 160 micron photometry, H$α$ emission, dust temperature, and star formation rate. We find significant differences between the maser-emitting and non-maser-emitting regions: water maser-emitting regions tend to be more IR-luminous and show higher star formation rates. The five water masers in M31 are consistent with being analogs of water masers in Galactic star-forming regions and represent the high-luminosity tail of a larger (and as yet undetected) population. Most regions likely to produce water masers bright enough for proper motion measurements using current facilities have already been surveyed, but we suggest three ways to detect additional water masers in M31: (1) Re-observe the most luminous mid- or far-IR sources with higher sensitivity than was used in the Green Bank Telescope survey; (2) Observe early-stage star-forming regions selected by mm continuum that have not already been selected by their 24 micron emission, and (3) Re-observe the most luminous mid- or far-IR sources, and rely on maser variability for new detections.

description: The issue of electroweak vacuum stability is studied in presence of a scalar field which participates in modifying the minimal chaotic inflation model. It is shown that the threshold effect on the Higgs quartic coupling originating from the Higgs-inflaton sector interaction can essentially make the electroweak vacuum stable upto the Planck scale. On the other hand we observe that the new physics parameters in this combined framework are enough to provide deviation from the minimal chaotic inflation predictions so as to keep it consistent with recent observation by Planck 2015.
