description: Why is public transportation fragmented in the Bay Area, and what can be done to facilitate its
consolidation? There are over 20 distinct public transportation entities in the Bay Area, all competing
with one another for a declining rider base. The largest operator covers only approximately 45% of the
region’s overall public transportation market. This contrasts with comparable areas such as New York
City, whose largest operator, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, controls approximately 95% of
the city’s overall public transportation market. I conduct a historic analysis of Bay Area public transit’s
institutional evolution, supplemented by analyses of New York and the region around Seattle. Such
analyses provide insights into how the fragmented status quo arose in the Bay Area. These analyses
draw upon primary historic documents, such as contemporaneous committee reports and newspaper
articles, institutional histories previously drafted about regional public transit, policy reports, legal
statutes, public code provisions, and publicly available memoranda of understanding. Policy
recommendations to help facilitate consolidation in the Bay Area are generated at the conclusion of this
analysis. They are: amending Proposition 218, merging all pre-existing regional entities in the Bay Area,
and imbuing the Metropolitan Transportation Commission with a wider array of administrative powers.

description: Bacteria are constantly threatened with infection by mobile genetic elements (MGE) such as bacteriophage and plasmids. Bacteriophage and plasmids require the bacteria's cellular infrastructure to replicate their genomes. Rampant replication can lead to cell death which is one reason why bacteria have developed a diverse array of immune systems to prevent or limit infection. This thesis studies three types of bacterial immune systems, type IV-A CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat –CRISPR associated), type V-A2 CRISPR-Cas systems, and Wadjet systems.
The type IV-A system lies adjacent to a dinG-like helicase gene. Research has shown that this system can target plasmids preventing their spread throughout a microbial population. This system is reliant upon the dinG-like gene, but how this system mechanistically prevents plasmid sharing is not understood.
The type V-A2 system has been shown to be capable of editing the genome of rice by generating breaks in the DNA. How this editing takes place, and the other biochemical mechanisms of this protein are not understood either. This thesis provides the preliminary framework for studying these putative genome editing tools.
Wadjet immune systems prevent the sharing of plasmids between bacteria.These systems share structural similarities with proteins responsible for separating bacterial chromosomes during cellular replication. This thesis contains the foundation for the characterization of the system by cloning genes from native host systems and then recombinantly expressing and purifying proteins.

description: Lerndatenanalysen eröffnen in digital gestützten Settings weitreichende Möglichkeiten, Lernende individuell zu unterstützen. Eine datenbasierte Lernunterstützung erscheint insbesondere für die Förderung der Kompetenzen zum Selbstregulierten Lernen (SRL) relevant und zielführend. In diesem Bereich weisen Lernende häufig unterschiedliche Unterstützungsbedarfe auf, die es gezielt zu adressieren gilt. Im Rahmen einer Feldstudie erhielten Studierende (N = 77) während ihrer Teilnahme an einem Statistik-Modul, abhängig von der Ausprägung individueller Selbstregulationskompetenzen, eine Lernunterstützung auf metakognitiver oder motivationaler Ebene in Form von Prompts. Diese zielten primär auf die Entwicklung und Anwendung von Regulationsstrategien auf der jeweiligen SRL-Ebene ab und wurden als Selbstreflexionsfragen und Handlungsempfehlungen im Online-Kurs implementiert. Studierende, denen motivationale Prompts dargeboten wurden, verfügten am Ende ihrer Modulteilnahme über stärker ausgeprägte motivationale SRL-Kompetenzen als zum Modulbeginn. Ihre metakognitiven SRL-Kompetenzen blieben unverändert. Studierende, die metakognitive Prompts erhielten, verbesserten ihre metakognitiven SRL-Kompetenzen während der Modul-teilnehme nicht. Somit erwies sich die datenbasierte Unterstützung bezogen auf die SRL-Kompetenzentwicklung teilweise als wirksam.

description: As the only non-carbon elemental layered allotrope, few-layer black phosphorus or phosphorene has emerged as a novel two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor with both high bulk mobility and a band gap. Here we report fabrication and transport measurements of phosphorene-hexagonal BN (hBN) heterostructures with one-dimensional (1D) edge contacts. These transistors are stable in ambient conditions for >300 hours, and display ambipolar behavior, a gate-dependent metal-insulator transition, and mobility up to 4000 $cm^2$/Vs. At low temperatures, we observe gate-tunable Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) magneto-oscillations and Zeeman splitting in magnetic field with an estimated g-factor ~2. The cyclotron mass of few-layer phosphorene holes is determined to increase from 0.25 to 0.31 $m_e$ as the Fermi level moves towards the valence band edge. Our results underscore the potential of few-layer phosphorene (FLP) as both a platform for novel 2D physics and an electronic material for semiconductor applications.

description: The Black Hole Uncertainty Principle correspondence suggests that there could exist black holes with mass beneath the Planck scale but radius of order the Compton scale rather than Schwarzschild scale. We present a modified, self-dual Schwarzschild-like metric that reproduces desirable aspects of a variety of disparate models in the sub-Planckian limit, while remaining Schwarzschild in the large mass limit. The self-dual nature of this solution under $M \leftrightarrow M^{-1}$ naturally implies a Generalized Uncertainty Principle with the linear form $Δx \sim \frac{1}{Δp} + Δp$. We also demonstrate a natural dimensional reduction feature, in that the gravitational radius and thermodynamics of sub-Planckian objects resemble that of $(1+1)$-D gravity. The temperature of sub-Planckian black holes scales as $M$ rather than $M^{-1}$ but the evaporation of those smaller than $10^{-36}$g is suppressed by the cosmic background radiation. This suggests that relics of this mass could provide the dark matter.

title: Monoamine Oxidase as a Target Enzyme in Pineal and Testicular Tissue: Adrenal Cortical Steroids and Arginine Vasotocin
Creators: name: Merrill, Randall James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The purpose of the research was twofold: (a) To ascertain what effects the adrenal glucocorticoids and catecholamines have on pineal N-acetyltransferase and monoamine oxidase activity, and (b) to observe what effect arginine vasotocin (a pineal polypeptide) has on testicular monoamine oxidase activity.
Rat pineal N-acetyltransferase activity was numerically increased when rats were injected with cortisol. It was increased significantly when the animals were injected with cortisol plus norepinephrine. Adrenal demedullation significantly increased N-acetyltransferase activity in starved rats when compared with intact control animals. Moreover, bovine pineal monoamine oxidase activity was markedly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner when incubated in vitro with cortisol. The results strongly implicate the adrenal gland as one factor controlling melatonin synthesis by the pineal gland, especially with food deprivation.
Arginine vasotocin, a polypeptide consisting of eight amino acids, was incubated with rat, hamster and rabbit testicular monoamine oxidase. The polypeptide significantly inhibited rat and hamster enzyme preparations, but had no effect on the rabbit population. These data suggest that the pineal may act peripherally to decrease reproductive function partially through a serotonergic mechanism involving the enzyme monoamine oxidase.

description: We study the response of a magnetic-field-driven superconducting qubit strongly coupled to a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator. We observed a strong amplification/damping of a probing signal at different resonance points corresponding to a one and two-photon emission/absorption. The sign of the detuning between the qubit frequency and the probe determines whether amplification or damping is observed. The larger blue detuned driving leads to two-photon lasing while the larger red detuning cools the resonator. Our experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical model of qubit lasing and cooling at the Rabi frequency.
Magnetoresistance in organic spintronic devices: the role of nonlinear effects

description: We derive kinetic equations describing injection and transport of spin polarized carriers in organic semiconductors with hopping conductivity via an impurity level. The model predicts a strongly voltage dependent magnetoresistance, defined as resistance variation between devices with parallel and antiparallel electrode magnetizations (spin valve effect). The voltage dependence of the magnetoresistance splits into three distinct regimes. The first regime matches well known inorganic spintronic regimes, corresponding to barrier controlled spin injection or the well known conductivity mismatch case. The second regime at intermediate voltages corresponds to strongly suppressed magnetoresistance. The third regime develops at higher voltages and accounts for a novel paradigm. It is promoted by the strong non-linearity in the charge transport which strength is characterized by the dimensionless parameter $eU/k_BT$. This nonlinearity, depending on device conditions, can lead to both significant enhancement or to exponential suppression of the spin valve effect in organic devices. We believe that these predictions are valid beyond the case of organic semiconductors and should be considered for any material characterized by strongly non-linear charge transport.

description: Characterizing interactions between drugs is important to avoid potentially harmful combinations, to reduce off-target effects of treatments and to fight antibiotic resistant pathogens, among others. Here we present a network inference algorithm to predict uncharacterized drug-drug interactions. Our algorithm takes, as its only input, sets of previously reported interactions, and does not require any pharmacological or biochemical information about the drugs, their targets or their mechanisms of action. Because the models we use are abstract, our approach can deal with adverse interactions, synergistic/antagonistic/suppressing interactions, or any other type of drug interaction. We show that our method is able to accurately predict interactions, both in exhaustive pairwise interaction data between small sets of drugs, and in large-scale databases. We also demonstrate that our algorithm can be used efficiently to discover interactions of new drugs as part of the drug discovery process.

description: The letter resolves the long standing debate as to the proper time scale ($$) of the onset of the immunological synapse (IS) bond, the non-covalent chemical bond defining the immune pathways involving T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APC). Results from our model calculations show $$ to be of the order of seconds instead of minutes. Close to the linearly stable regime, we show that in between the two critical spatial thresholds defined by the integrin:ligand pair ($Δ_2\sim$ 40-45 nm) and the T cell receptor (TCR):pMHC bond ($Δ_1\sim$ 14-15 nm), $$ grows monotonically with increasing co-receptor bond length separation $δ$ (= $Δ_2-Δ_1\sim$ 26-30 nm) while $$ decays with $Δ_1$ for fixed $Δ_2$. The non-universal $δ$-dependent power-law structure of the probability density function (PDF) further explains why only the TCR:pMHC bond is a likely candidate to form a stable synapse.

description: Russia is an emerging market for Korean fruits and one of the biggest Korean mandarin importers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the consumers' preference for Korean mandarin in the Russian market. The Russian market is divided into two regions and studied, Vladivostok and Moscow. Field and survey researches were conducted to investigate the market and consumers' behaviors. A conjoint analysis was also conducted to define the consumers' preference for commodity attributes of Korean mandarin. The results of analysis provide the basic information needed to make commercialization and marketing strategies to expand the market share of Korean mandarin in the Russian market.

description: If a deuterated molecule containing strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds is placed in a hydrogenated solvent it may preferentially exchange deuterium for hydrogen. This preference is due to the difference between the vibrational zero-point energy for hydrogen and deuterium. It is found that the associated fractionation factor $Φ$ is correlated with the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This correlation has been used to determine the length of the H-bonds (donor-acceptor separation) in a diverse range of enzymes and has been argued to support the existence of short low-barrier H-bonds. Starting with a potential energy surface based on a simple diabatic state model for H-bonds we calculate $Φ$ as a function of the proton donor-acceptor distance $R$. For numerical results, we use a parameterization of the model for symmetric O-H.... O bonds. We consider the relative contributions of the O-H stretch vibration, O-H bend vibrations (both in plane and out of plane), tunnelling splitting effects at finite temperature, and the secondary geometric isotope effect. We compare our total $Φ$ as a function of $R$ with NMR experimental results for enzymes, and in particular with an empirical parametrisation $Φ(R)$, used previously to determine bond lengths.

description: Recent theoretical and experimental studies suggest that SmB$_6$ is the first topological Kondo insulator: A material in which the interaction between localized and itinerant electrons renders the bulk insulating at low temperature, while topological surface states leave the surface metallic. While this would elegantly explain the material's puzzling conductivity, we find the experimentally observed candidates for both predicted topological surface states to be of trivial character instead: The surface state at $\barΓ$ is very heavy and shallow with a mere $\sim 2$ meV binding energy. It exhibits large Rashba splitting which excludes a topological nature. We further demonstrate that the other metallic surface state, located at $\bar{X}$, is not an independent in-gap state as supposed previously, but part of a massive band with much higher binding energy (1.7 eV). We show that it remains metallic down to 1 K due to reduced hybridization with the energy-shifted surface 4$f$ level.

description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender high school students face challenges that impede their
academic, social, and emotional wellbeing. School policies that provide resources and
protections for LGBT students mitigate these challenges, and lead to better outcomes for LGBT
students. LGBT adults face challenges in sectors like employment protection and hate crime
prevalence, and many states have passed laws that expand protections for these adults. This
thesis aims to investigate the relationship between state-level, anti-LGBT discrimination policies
and high-school student wellbeing by analyzing patterns of policy diffusion and the policies’
effects on schools. Using a mixed methods approach that combines linear regression analysis
with qualitative social research of two school district case studies, this analysis will provide
evidence on the social benefit of expansive civil rights legislation for LGBT individuals and the
spread of its externalities to schools.

description: Successive generations of hunter–gatherers of the Late Glacial and Early Holocene in Iberia had to contend with rapidly changing environments and climatic conditions. This constrained their economic resources and capacity for demographic growth. The Atlantic façade of Iberia was occupied throughout these times and witnessed very significant environmental transformations. Archaeology offers a perspective on how past human population ecologies changed in response to this scenario. Archaeological radiocarbon data are used here to reconstruct demographics of the region over the long term. We introduce various quantitative methods that allow us to develop palaeodemographic and spatio-temporal models of population growth and density, and compare our results to independent records of palaeoenvironmental and palaeodietary change, and growth rates derived from skeletal data. Our results demonstrate that late glacial population growth was stifled by the Younger Dryas stadial, but populations grew in size and density during the Early to Middle Holocene transition. This growth was fuelled in part by an increased dependence on marine and estuarine food sources demonstrating how the environment was linked to demographic change via the resource base, and ultimately the carrying capacity of the environment.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography’.

description: Despite the well-documented benefits of working in teams, teamwork also results in communication, coordination and management costs, and may lead to personal conflict between team members. In a context where teams play an increasingly important role, it is of major importance to understand conflict and to develop diagnostic tools to avert it. Here, we investigate empirically whether it is possible to quantitatively predict future conflict in small teams using parameter-free models of social network structure. We analyze data of conflict appearance and resolution between 86 team members in 16 small teams, all working in a real project for nine consecutive months. We find that group-based models of complex networks successfully anticipate conflict in small teams whereas micro-based models of structural balance, which have been traditionally used to model conflict, do not.

description: We demonstrate the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in single-layer graphene exchange-coupled to an atomically flat yttrium iron garnet (YIG) ferromagnetic thin film. The anomalous Hall conductance has magnitude of ~0.09(2e2/h) at low temperatures and is measurable up to ~ 300 K. Our observations indicate not only proximity-induced ferromagnetism in graphene/YIG with large exchange interaction, but also enhanced spin-orbit coupling which is believed to be inherently weak in ideal graphene. The proximity-induced ferromagnetic order in graphene can lead to novel transport phenomena such as the quantized AHE which are potentially useful for spintronics.

description: Information is an important factor in forming awareness on hazard factors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of consumers' information awareness affecting the relationship between livestock products hazard factors and food consumption. This study conducted a random survey of 343 housewives around the capital area to accomplish the objective of the study. The livestock products hazard factors included in this study were three animal diseases: bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), and avian influenza (AI). An econometrics model of binary logit for each animal disease was introduced for the analysis. The results show that common information aspects which affect the relationship between food consumption and animal products hazard factors are consumers' interest on and needs for food safety information. Also, the variable on consumers' preference of acquiring source for food safety information was significant for all models. However, the variables of consumers' satisfaction on food safety information and awareness for the mass distribution problem of food safety information among consumers were only significant for BSE model. Besides information factors, the estimation results show that consumers' preference for beef has significant effect for BSE and FMD models. Consumers' awareness on food safety of domestic or imported animal products and their residence area were significant for all three models.

description: The role of the multiorbital effects on the emergence of frustrated electronic orders on the triangular lattice at half filling is investigated through an extended spinless fermion Hubbard model. By using two complementary approaches, unrestricted Hartree-Fock and exact diagonalizations, we unravel a very rich phase diagram controlled by the strength of both local and off-site Coulomb interactions and by the interorbital hopping anisotropy ratio $t'/t$. Three robust unconventional electronic phases, a pinball liquid, an inverse pinball liquid, and a large-unit-cell $\sqrt{12} \times \sqrt{12}$ droplet phase, are found to be generic in the triangular geometry, being controlled by the band structure parameters. The latter are also stabilized in the isotropic limit of our microscopic model, which recovers the standard SU(2) spinful extended single-band Hubbard model.

What the HECM? Evaluating the Effect of Reverse Mortgages on Bequest and Budgetary Decision-Making in Retirement

Intergenerational Wealth Transfer

description: Reverse mortgages (RM) are an increasingly attractive means for the largely cash-strapped but
house-rich Baby Boomer generation to meet basic liquidity demands in retirement. Given the
importance of bequest in life-cycle models of wealth generation, though, and the outsize role
home equity plays in most Americans’ estates, reverse mortgages’ requirement that the borrower
transfer his or her home to the lender at death could prove disruptive. I investigate the effect of
RMs on seniors’ allocations across saving and consumption in retirement, and subsequent
impacts on realized bequests. I find that the availability of RMs leads those who would get one to
bequest 71% less than they would otherwise, even when accounting for savings financed by the
new liquidity a reverse mortgage provides, and that those who would choose RM bequest 64%
less than those who would not. I find additional implications for the most financially vulnerable,
and that RM could exacerbate inequality among Millenials by singularly diminishing bequests
among middle-class Boomers. Further, I find that the hypothetical event of Social Security trust
fund insolvency would heighten each of these effects and increase RM take-up 27%.

description: Il progetto SuperP2G-Italy con CNR-ITAE (capofila) e Università di Bologna ha conseguito l’obiettivo proposto, ovvero lo sviluppo di un tool open-source e Web-Gis finalizzato all’ottimizzazione della supply chain dell’idrogeno dalla produzione agli utenti finali. In particolare, il tool sviluppato ottimizza la posizione e la taglia delle centrali di produzione dell’idrogeno da elettrolisi minimizzando i costi di produzione e di trasporto dell’idrogeno che può essere realizzato su gomma oppure all’interno di condotte. In accordo agli obiettivi di progetto, il tool è attualmente disponibile in una versione “alpha test”, ovvero, prima di poter essere messa a disposizione agli utenti (versione beta) dovranno essere completate attività di sviluppo del software principale così come dovranno essere integrate funzionalità aggiuntive, sinteticamente riportate nella sezione finale del documento. Obiettivo del documento è quello di illustrare brevemente il framework del tool mentre nell’ultima sezione si riportano le limitazioni che attualmente sono presenti e i potenziali sviluppo futuri che gli autori si auspicano di implementare per aumentare la flessibilità di utilizzo.

On Gakerkin approximations for the surface-active quasigeostrophic equations

description: We study the representation of solutions of the three-dimensional quasigeostrophic (QG) equations using Galerkin series with standard vertical modes, with particular attention to the incorporation of active surface buoyancy dynamics. We extend two existing Galerkin approaches (A and B) and develop a new Galerkin approximation (C). Approximation A, due to \cite{flierl1978}, represents the streamfunction as a truncated Galerkin series and defines the potential vorticity (PV) that satisfies the inversion problem exactly. Approximation B, due to \cite{tulloch_smith2009b}, represents the PV as a truncated Galerkin series and calculates the streamfunction that satisfies the inversion problem exactly. Approximation C, the true Galerkin approximation for the QG equations, represents both streamfunction and PV as truncated Galerkin series, but does not satisfy the inversion equation exactly. The three approximations are fundamentally different unless the boundaries are isopycnal surfaces. We discuss the advantages and limitations of approximations A, B, and C in terms of mathematical rigor and conservation laws, and illustrate their relative efficiency by solving linear stability problems with nonzero surface buoyancy. With moderate number of modes, B and C have have superior accuracy than A at high wavenumbers. Because B lacks conservation of energy, we recommend approximation C for constructing solutions to the surface-active QG equations using Galerkin series with standard vertical modes.

description: Simulation of warm dense matter requires computational methods that capture both quantum and classical behavior efficiently under high-temperature, high-density conditions. Currently, density functional theory molecular dynamics is used to model electrons and ions, but this method's computational cost skyrockets as temperatures and densities increase. We propose finite-temperature potential functional theory as an in-principle-exact alternative that suffers no such drawback. We derive an orbital-free free energy approximation through a coupling-constant formalism. Our density approximation and its associated free energy approximation demonstrate the method's accuracy and efficiency.

description: This paper introduces a new transmission channel of banking crises where sizable cross-border bank claims on foreign countries with high domestic crisis risk enable contagion to the home economy. This asset-side channel opposes traditional views that see banking crises originating from either domestic credit booms or from cross-border borrowing. I propose a combined model that predicts banking crises using both domestic and foreign factors. For developed economies, the channel is predictive of crises irrespective of other types of capital flows, while it is entirely inactive for emerging economies. I show that policy makers can significantly enhance current early warning models by incorporating exposure-based risk from cross-border lending.

When Does Linear Stability Not Exclude Nonlinear Instability ?

description: We describe a mechanism that results in the nonlinear instability of stationary states even in the case where the stationary states are linearly stable. This instability is due to the nonlinearity-induced coupling of the linearization's internal modes of negative energy with the wave continuum. In a broad class of nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (NLS) equations considered, the presence of such internal modes guarantees the nonlinear instability of the stationary states in the evolution dynamics. To corroborate this idea, we explore three prototypical case examples: (a) an anti-symmetric soliton in a double-well potential, (b) a twisted localized mode in a one-dimensional lattice with cubic nonlinearity, and (c) a discrete vortex in a two-dimensional saturable lattice. In all cases, we observe a weak nonlinear instability, despite the linear stability of the respective states.

Local and global effects of odour experience on neurons in the olfactory bulb glomerulus
Creators: name: Rolle-Sonora, Sara Olga
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Plasticity in the functional connectivity and intrinsic properties of neurons is a fundamental feature of circuit function since it provides a mechanism for experience-dependent changes in cell-to-cell excitability. Whilst many studies have focused on the experience-dependent mechanisms of synaptic plasticity, there is not much known about experience-dependent intrinsic plasticity at the level of individual neurons. Here, I have performed whole-cell recordings from glutamic acid decarboxylase 2 (GAD2) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive interneurons, as well as from two types of principal neurons in the olfactory bulb, following extended exposure to specific odorants. In the olfactory bulb, GAD2+ glomerular interneurons are mostly involved in intraglomerular feed-forward and feedback inhibition, while TH+ cells participate in interglomerular lateral inhibitory circuits. Using a transgenic mouse line expressing YFP under the M72 olfactory receptor promoter, I chronically exposed mice to the monomolecular agonist of the M72 receptor 2’-hydroxyacetophenone and performed targeted recordings from M72 inhibitory and excitatory neurons in acute slices. Following odour exposure, the intrinsic properties of principal neurons remained unchanged, while we observed specific changes in the intrinsic properties of subtypes of interneurons. These findings suggest that while principal cells excitability remains stable during chronic exposure to a novel odour, interneurons are highly plastic. GAD2 plasticity occurs on a local level while TH+ neurons exhibit a global plasticity. Using a model of the olfactory bulb, I showed that these two effects have very different consequences for local and global odour signalling in the olfactory bulb.
