description: We report on a study of the light quark spectrum using an improved gauge action and both Kogut-Susskind and Naik quark actions. We have studied six different lattice spacings, corresponding to plaquette couplings ranging from 6.8 to 7.9, with five to six quark masses per coupling. We compare the two quark actions in terms of the spectrum and restoration of flavor symmetry. We also compare these results with those from the conventional action.

description: We present a detailed description of the method and results of our calculation of the kaon B parameter using the Wilson quark action in quenched QCD at $β=5.9-6.5$. The mixing problem of the $Δs=2$ four-quark operators is solved non-perturbatively with full use of chiral Ward identities. We find $B_K(NDR, 2 GeV)=0.562(64)$ in the continuum limit, which agrees with the value obtained with the Kogut-Susskind quark action.

description: The design of time-independent effective Hamiltonians that describe periodically modulated systems, provides a promising approach to realize new forms of matter. This, so-called, Floquet engineering approach is currently limited to the description of wavepacket dynamics. Here, we utilize the notion of effective Hamiltonians and develop a Floquet engineering scattering formalism that relies on a systematic high-frequency expansion of the scattering matrix. The method unveils the critical role of micromotion. An application to the case of non-reciprocal transport is presented.

description: A possibility to measure the spin and spin-spin correlations of a chargino pair is investigated in the process electron positron -> chargino_1 anti-chargino_1 -> (neutralino_1 quark anti-quark) (neutralino_1 quark anti-quark) at future linear-collider energies. The total and the differential cross sections are calculated by the GRACE system which allows for the full spin correlation. Experimental sensitivity of the measurements are examined by assuming the limited detector resolution, the initial state radiation and the beam-beam effect (beamstrahlung). It is found that generally the spin-spin correlation can only be measured with a lower sensitivity than the chargino spin itself. The dependence of the correlation measurements on the relevant SUSY parameters can be seen for a light sneutrino case, but the situation becomes worse for a heavier sneutrino.

Induction of acetylcholine receptor clustering by native polystyrene beads : implications of an endogenous muscle-derived signalling system
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Aneural muscle cells in culture often form acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters, termed hot spots, which are similar to those found at the postsynaptic membrane both in structure and in molecular composition. Although hot spots form on both dorsal and ventral surfaces of the cell, the ventral ones are better characterized because of their association with sites of cell-substratum contact. To understand the stimuli and mechanisms involved in ventral hot spot formation, native, uncoated polystyrene beads were applied to cultured Xenopus myotomal muscle cells to create local membrane-substratum contacts. These beads were able to induce a postsynaptic-type development as evidenced by the clustering of AChRs and the development of a set of ultrastructural specializations, including membrane infoldings and a basement membrane. Whereas these native beads were effective in inducing clustering, beads coated with bovine serum albumin or treated with serum-containing medium were ineffective. Native beads were also capable of inducing clusters in serum-free medium, indicating that their effect was mediated by endogenous molecules that were locally presented by the beads, rather than by bead adsorption of components in the medium. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) is a major component of the muscle extracellular matrix and our previous study has shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a member of the heparin-binding growth factor (HBGF) family, and its receptor are present in Xenopus myotomal muscle during the period of synaptogenesis. Therefore, we tested the involvement of HBGF in bead induction. The results of this study show the following: (1) preincubation of cultures in heparin, which solubilizes matrix-bound HBGFs, suppressed the bead-induced AChR clustering. (2) Suramin, which interferes with the interaction between several growth factors and their receptors, also inhibited bead-induced clustering. (3) Tyrphostin, which blocks tyrosine kinase activity associated with a number of growth factor receptors, was also inhibitory to the bead effect. (4) The percentage of bead-induced AChR clusters was significantly enhanced by pretreating the cultures with bFGF prior to bead application. This exogenously applied bFGF could be largely removed by treatment of cultures with heparin, suggesting its association with HSPG at the cell surface. (5) An anti-bFGF neutralizing antiserum significantly reduced the efficacy of the bead stimulation. These data suggest that uncoated beads, which adhere to the cell surface and can mimic the cell-substratum interaction, effect a local presentation of HBGFs, such as bFGF, residing with the HSPG to their membrane receptors, thereby locally activating receptor-associated tyrosine kinases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

We concentrate on the possible WIMP annual modulation signal recently reported by the DAMA Collaboration. We find that allowing for a reasonable uncertainty in a WIMP Maxwellian velocity distribution leads to significantly relaxed constraints on the WIMP mass as compared to the original DAMA analysis.

Induction of dystrophin localization in cultured Xenopus muscle cells by latex beads
Creators: name: PENG, H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: The distribution of dystrophin in Xenopus myotomal muscle cells was examined in conventional and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. By labeling dissociated single muscle fibers with a monoclonal or a polyclonal antibody against dystrophin, we found that dystrophin is ten times more concentrated at the myotendinous junction (MTJ) than at the extrajunctional sarcolemma. At the MTJ, dystrophin lines the membrane invaginations where myofibrils attach to the membrane. It is colocalized with talin, but is not related to the distribution of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) which are clustered at the postsynaptic membrane in the vicinity of the MTJ in these fibers. We found that the localization of dystrophin can be induced in cultured Xenopus myotomal muscle cells by treating them with polystyrene latex beads. Dystrophin is discretely localized at the bead-muscle contacts. With electron microscopy, a sarcolemma specialization with all the salient features of the MTJ, including basal lamina-lined membrane invaginations along which myofibrils make attachment. Although these beads also induce clustering of AChRs, the patterns of dystrophin and AChR localization are distinct. The appearance of dystrophin at the bead-contacted sarcolemma is coincident with the development of the membrane invaginations. This, together with its concentration along membrane invaginations at the MTJ in vivo, suggests a role for dystrophin in the formation of this junctional specialization. Since the signal for MTJ development can be presented to cultured muscle cells in a temporally and spatially controlled manner by beads, this system offers a simple model for analyzing the mechanism of this sarcolemma specialization.

description: Trustfulness -- one's general tendency to have confidence in unknown people or situations -- predicts many important real-world outcomes such as mental health and likelihood to cooperate with others such as clinicians. While data-driven measures of interpersonal trust have previously been introduced, here, we develop the first language-based assessment of the personality trait of trustfulness by fitting one's language to an accepted questionnaire-based trust score. Further, using trustfulness as a type of case study, we explore the role of questionnaire size as well as word count in developing language-based predictive models of users' psychological traits. We find that leveraging a longer questionnaire can yield greater test set accuracy, while, for training, we find it beneficial to include users who took smaller questionnaires which offers more observations for training. Similarly, after noting a decrease in individual prediction error as word count increased, we found a word count-weighted training scheme was helpful when there were very few users in the first place.

Can a Magnetic Field Destroy a Spin-Density-Wave Phase in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Conductor?
Creators: name: Lebed, Andrei G.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is known that, in a pure one-dimensional case, Charge-Density-Wave (CDW) phase is destroyed by a magnetic field, whereas Spin-Density-Wave (SDW) one does not feel the field. In reality, SDW phase is often observed in quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) conductors due to the so-called "nesting" property of their electron spectra. We show that, in the latter case, a high magnetic field generates some "anti-nesting" term in a Q1D electron spectrum, which destroys SDW phase. We suggest to perform the corresponding experiments in SDW phases of the real Q1D organic conductors with chemical formula (TMTSF)$_2$X (X=PF$_6$, ClO$_4$, etc.).

description: From "Exploring Myths and Legends of Teacher Education," the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Self-Study of Teacher Education Practices, July 23-27, 2000.
description: We conducted a self -study of drama integration with an emphasis on teaching perspective taking in a new interdisciplinary course. Our work employs a theoretical model of coming to understand the self through others or in Vygotskyan (1981) terms, from interpersonal to intrapersonal knowledge. One of our main aims was to determine how disciplines could be interwoven to enhance students’ personal development, as well as our own. We envisioned drama integration as more than a list of activities that could include teaching the ethic of care and empathy. Teaching and learning would be in a circle wider than self - in a collaborative network with a synthesis of our diverse experiences to provoke our students to pull down or even shatter their fences. Outcomes included: students’ utilization of drama in their career goals, finding our humanness, and knowledge of self and others. As professors, we uncovered our commonalties while renewing our individual passions. We discovered that drama could serve as an international language to communicate the need and value of human diversity while bridging many disciplines and careers.

description: Esta tesis provee un análisis cronológico de la notable trayectoria fílmica del director mexicano Arturo Ripstein (1943), que abarca desde 1965 hasta 2015. A través de la exégesis de películas como El castillo de la pureza (1972), El lugar sin límites (1977), El imperio de la fortuna (1985), La mujer del puerto (1991) y La calle de la amargura (2015), se revela una obra única dentro de la historiografía del cine mexicano, que evidencia una particular evolución que parte de la estética neobarroca a mediados de 1960 hasta fusionarse, a partir de 1985, con el melodrama de la guionista Paz Alicia Garciadiego. Esta nueva lectura del cine de Ripstein propone que recursos neobarrocos, como la intertextualidad, la alegoría, el simulacro y la parodia, hacen posible la subversión del melodrama tradicional. El resultado es un melodrama neobarroco inmerso en la cultura popular mexicana y sus diversas manifestaciones, como la música, la literatura y la nota roja, elementos que permiten una mirada crítica de la sociedad mexicana valiéndose del lumpen marginal urbano como barómetro de la realidad del país. Las teorías sobre melodrama y medios masivos de Peter Brooks, Ana López, Andrea Noble y Jesús Martín Barbero, así como la teoría del neobarroco de Severo Sarduy y los recientes estudios sobre cine neobarroco latinoamericano de Mónika Kaup y Paul Schroeder Rodríguez, proveen el marco teórico para este estudio.

The result for the axial charge shows reasonable agreement with the experiment and that for the tensor charge is the first prediction from lattice QCD before experimental measurements.

Microinjection of antibodies against talin inhibits the spreading and migration of fibroblasts

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Talin is believed to be one of the key proteins involved in linking actin filaments to extracellular matrix receptors in focal adhesions. Our strategy for studying the function of talin has been to inactivate talin in living fibroblasts in tissue culture through the microinjection of affinity-purified, polyclonal anti-talin antibodies. The effect of the injected anti-talin antibodies on cell spreading was found to depend on how recently the cells had been plated. Cells that were in the process of spreading on a fibronectin substratum, and which had newly developed focal adhesions, were induced to round up and to disassemble many of the adhesions. However, if fibroblasts were allowed to spread completely before they were microinjected with the anti-talin antibody, focal adhesions remained intact and the flat morphology of the cells was unaffected. The percentage of cells that were able to maintain a spread morphology despite the injection of anti-talin antibodies increased during the first few hours after plating on fibronectin substrata. Fibroblasts that were allowed to spread completely before microinjection with the anti-talin antibody retained both intact focal adhesions and a flat, well-spread morphology, but failed to migrate effectively. Our experiments do not directly address the role of talin in mature focal adhesions, but they indicate that talin is essential for the spreading and migration of fibroblasts on fibronectin as well as for the development and initial maintenance of focal adhesions on this substratum.
Probing the parton densities of virtual photons with the reaction gamma^*gamma->jets at LEP

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a next-to-leading order calculation of jet production in gamma^*gamma collisions from e+e- scattering in a region where the virtuality Q^2 of the probing virtual photon is small compared to the transverse jet energy. The calculation is based on the phase-space slicing method. The initial state singularity of the virtual photon is factorized into the structure function of the virtual photon, using the MS-bar factorization scheme for virtual photons. Numerical results are presented for LEP2 conditions. The perturbative stability of the pure direct virtual photon approach is compared to that of including resolved virtual photons in different regions of Q^2. We make predictions for cross sections which suggest that different parametrizations of virtual photon parton densities should be distinguishable by measurements of jet cross sections at LEP.

There have been techniques to detect malware by performing static and dynamic analysis of malware files, but, stealthy malware has circumvented the static analysis method and for dynamic analysis, there have been previous works that propose different methods to detect malware. However, these techniques do not perform well on stealthy malware. Moreover, the rising trend and advancements in machine learning has resulted into its numerous applications in the field of computer vision, pattern recognition to providing security to hardware devices. Machine learning based malware detection techniques rely on grayscale images of malware and tends to classify malware based on the distribution of textures in grayscale images. Albeit the advancement and promising results shown by machine learning techniques, attackers can exploit the vulnerabilities by generating adversarial samples. Adversarial samples are generated by intelligently crafting and adding perturbations to the input samples. There exists majority of the software based adversarial attacks and defenses. To defend against the adversaries, the existing malware detection based on machine learning and grayscale images needs a preprocessing for the adversarial data. This can cause an additional overhead and can prolong the real-time malware detection. So, as an alternative to this, we explore RRAM (Resistant Random Access Memory) based defense against adversaries. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to address the above mentioned critical system security issues. The above mentioned challenges are addressed by demonstrating proposed techniques to design a secure and robust cognitive system. First, a novel technique to detect stealthy malware is proposed.The technique uses malware binary images and then extract different features from the same and then employ different ML-classifiers on the dataset thus obtained. Results demonstrate that this technique is successful in differentiating classes of malware based on the features extracted. Secondly, I demonstrate the effects of adversarial attacks on a reconfigurable RRAM-neuromorphic architecture with different learning algorithms and device characteristics. I also propose an integrated solution for mitigating the effects of the adversarial attack using the reconfigurable RRAM architecture.

description: The nonclaret disjunctional (ncd) protein is a kinesin-related microtubule motor protein that is encoded at the claret locus in Drosophila and is required for proper chromosome distribution in meiosis and early mitosis. The protein contains a region with 41% amino acid sequence identity to kinesin heavy chain, but translocates on microtubules with the opposite polarity to kinesin, toward microtubule minus ends. The overall structure of ncd also differs from kinesin heavy chain, in that the proposed motor domain is present at the C terminus of the molecule instead of the N terminus, as in kinesin heavy chain. In studies to define the molecular determinants of ncd function, we constructed and expressed a protein with a deletion of the N-terminal 208 amino acids of the non-motor region. Analysis of the truncated protein shows that the protein exhibits microtubule-stimulated Mg(2+)-ATPase activity and binds microtubules in pelleting assays. In contrast to near full-length ncd, the truncated protein does not support directional movement of microtubules in in vitro motility assays. Instead, microtubules show nucleotide-sensitive binding to the truncated protein on glass surfaces and bound microtubules exhibit one-dimensional diffusional movement that is constrained to their longitudinal axis. The diffusional movement reveals a weak binding state of the ncd motor that may represent a mechanochemical intermediate in its ATP hydrolysis cycle. If diffusional movement is a characteristic intrinsic to the claret motor, it is likely to be important in the in vivo function of the protein.

description: Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) is an increasingly prevalent disorder in the United States as more individuals begin using opiates and experience addiction. A major hallmark of OUD include progressive erosion of social ties as an addicted individual's life is hijacked by obtaining, using, and recovering from drug use despite and without regards to disadvantageous consequences. There are multiple factors that account for the development of addiction, such as genetic and biological variables; therefore, the development of OUD is rather complex. Multiple therapeutic modalities, including pharmaceutical and psychological treatments, along with various rehabilitation programs, have been developed to tackle the growing opioid epidemic. Diagnostic imaging has emerged as a potential method to engage in risk assessment and evaluate and predict which individuals would be most prone to the development of OUD, so that proper actions and interventions can be implemented to reduce such risk. Particularly, positron emission tomography (PET) and function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have the potential to visualize the changes in the human brain in relation to opiate addiction. Existing literature on Substance Use Disorder (SUD) have utilized task-based neuroimaging techniques to investigate the molecular underpinnings of addiction, but comparative studies on neural activation towards drug cues versus social attachment cues has yet to be examined. The identified knowledge gap focuses on using technological methodologies such as fMRI as a means of predicting which treatment modalities could be the most efficacious; identifying a potential biomarker encapsulating the shift in saliency in addicted individuals to: refine existing treatment for addiction; bridge existing gaps of knowledge in neuroscientific approaches to addiction; and improve future clinical and translational addiction research.

description: We present results for the light quark masses for the Wilson quark action obtained with the PCAC relation for the one-link extended axial vector current in quenched QCD at $β=5.9-6.5$. This method leads to a remarkable improvement of scaling behavior of the light quark masses compared to the conventional method. We obtain ${\bar m}_l=3.87(37)$MeV for the averaged up and down quark mass and ${\bar m}_s=97(9)$MeV for the strange quark mass in the ${\barMS}$ scheme at $μ=2$GeV.

Endothelial cells adhere to the RGD domain and the fibrinogen-like terminal knob of tenascin

description: We have found that endothelial cells adhere much more strongly than fibroblasts to domains of tenascin and fibronectin. Endothelial cells adhered weakly, without spreading, to bacterial expression proteins corresponding to the tenth fibronectin type III (FN-III) domain of fibronectin, which contains the RGD. A larger fibronectin protein, containing this domain and the three amino-terminal 'synergy' domains gave strong adhesion and spreading. Two widely separated domains of tenascin gave adhesion. The third FN-III domain, TNfn3, which contains an RGD sequence in human and chicken tenascin, gave very strong adhesion and spreading of endothelial cells when tested as an isolated domain. Larger segments containing TNfn3 and the adjacent TNfn2 gave weaker adhesion, probably because the RGD sequence is partially blocked. Adhesion to this domain required divalent cations, was exquisitely sensitive to soluble GRGDSP peptide, and was blocked by antisera to the integrin alpha v beta 3. The second tenascin adhesion domain was the fibrinogen-like C-terminal knob, TNfbg. Cells adhered to but did not spread on this domain. This adhesion required divalent cations and was also sensitive to GRGDSP peptide, so it may be mediated by an integrin receptor. We have explored a range of conditions for preparing the adhesion substratum, and our results may resolve the controversy over whether tenascin can act as a substratum adhesion molecule. When coated for short times (1-2 hours) on plastic, tenascin had no adhesion activity, in contrast to fibronectin and the expression proteins, which gave strong adhesion under these conditions. When coated for longer times (12-24 hours) on plastic, the tenascin substratum supported good adhesion, but not spreading, of endothelial cells. Tenascin coated on nitrocellulose gave substantially stronger adhesion than on plastic, but still required long coating times for maximal activity. Adhesion of endothelial cells to native TN was inhibited by GRDGSP peptide. The cell adhesion activity demonstrates the presence on endothelial cells of tenascin receptors, which may play a supportive role in angiogenesis, in the structure of blood vessels, or in binding tenascin to the cell surface to elicit or enhance a signalling function.

description: Magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars exhibit complex atmospheres that allow the investigation of such diverse phenomena as atomic diffusion, magnetic fields, and stellar rotation. The advent of space-based photometry provides the opportunity for the first precise characterizations of the photometric variability properties of these stars. We carried out a search for new mCP stars in the Kepler field with the ultimate aim of investigating their photometric variability properties using Kepler data. As an aside, we describe criteria for selecting mCP star candidates based on light curve properties, and assess the accuracy of the spectral classifications provided by the MKCLASS code. As only very few known mCP stars are situated in the Kepler field, we had to depend largely on alternative (nonspectroscopic) means of identifying suitable candidates that rely mostly on light curve properties; in particular we relied on monoperiodic variability and light curve stability. Newly acquired and archival spectra were used to confirm most of our mCP star candidates. Linear ephemeris parameters and effective amplitudes were derived from detrended Kepler data. Our final sample consists of 41 spectroscopically confirmed mCP stars of which 39 are new discoveries, 5 candidate mCP stars, and 7 stars in which no chemical peculiarities could be established. Our targets populate the whole age range from zero-age main sequence to terminal-age main sequence and are distributed in the mass interval from 1.5 M_sun to 4 M_sun. About 25% of the mCP stars show a hitherto unobserved wealth of detail in their light curves indicative of complex surface structures. We identified light curve stability as a primary criterion for identifying mCP star candidates among early-type stars in large photometric surveys, and prove the reliability of the spectral classifications provided by the MKCLASS code.

description: Lookahead in propositional satisfiability has proven efficient as a heuristic in pre- and in-processing, for partitioning instances for parallel solving, and as the main driver of a standalone solver. While applying similar techniques in satisfiability modulo theories is potentially equally useful, adapting lookahead to learning theory clauses and to estimating search space sizes in the presence of first-order structures is not straightforward. This paper addresses both of these observations. We give a hybrid algorithm that integrates lookahead into the state-based representation of an SMT solver and show that in the vast majority of cases it is possible to compute full lookahead up to depth four on inexpensive theories. We also show the role of first-order structures in SMT search space: while in most of our benchmarks the partitions are easier to solve than the original instance, we identify cases where lookahead results in sequences of increasingly difficult instances for a computationally expensive theory.

description: In a strongly-interacting electroweak sector with an isosinglet vector state, such as the techni-omega, $ω_T$, the direct $ω_T Z γ$ coupling implies that an $ω_T$ can be produced by $Z γ$ fusion in $eγ$ collisions. This is a unique feature for high energy $e^+e^-$ or $e^-e^-$ colliders operating in an $eγ$ mode. We consider the processes $e^- γ\to e^- Zγ$ and $e^- γ\to e^- W^+ W^-Z$, both of which proceed via an intermediate $ω_T$. We find that at a 1.5 TeV $e^+e^-$ linear collider operating in an $eγ$ mode with an integrated luminosity of 200 fb$^{-1}$, an $ω_T$ can be discovered for a broad range of masses and widths.
