title: Targeting Cytokine Systems to Achieve Neuroprotection: Experimental Models of Seizures and Neurodegeneration
Creators: name: Balosso, Silvia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated whether IL-1β and TNF-α have a role in the pathophysiology of seizures by altering neuronal excitability and cell survival and also probed new targets to achieve an effective anticonvulsive action. The first set of experiments evaluated if acute and spontaneous seizures can be effectively inhibited by blocking the brain production of IL-1β using a selective inhibitor of caspase-1, the key enzyme specifically involved in the production of the releasable and biologically active form of IL-1β. Caspase-1 inhibition significantly reduced the number and the total time spent in seizures, indicating that this treatment represents an effective and novel anticonvulsive strategy. The second set of experiments investigated the intracellular pathway involved in the IL-1β proconvulsant actions which appear to occur via a novel non-transcriptional pathway: namely, the IL-1β-mediated activation of neutral-sphingomyelinase, the production of ceramide and the subsequent phosphorylation of Src-family of tyrosine kinases and the target receptor protein NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor, resulting in the potentiation of NMDA function. This fast post-translational effect of IL-1β represents a novel and non-conventional pathway by which inflammatory molecules produced in epileptic tissue can affect neurotransmission. Then, this work demonstrated that a brief pro-inflammatory stimulus, characterized by the activation of microglia and subsequent lasting release of critical concentrations of IL-1β, primes neuronal vulnerability to a subsequent excitotoxic insult, highlighting one mechanism by which a pre-existent pro-inflammatory state may increase hippocampal neuronal susceptibility to the excitotoxic damage associated with seizures. Thus, pharmacological approaches specifically targeted to block the overproduction of IL-1β and its functions in diseased conditions may represent new, nonconventional strategies for the treatment of seizure disorders, which are refractory to classical anticonvulsant treatments. The second part of this thesis demonstrated that TNF-α significantly decreases epileptic activity by specifically acting on neuronal p75 receptors. The actions of TNF-α on neuronal excitability strictly depend on whether p55 or p75 receptors are preferentially involved and appear to be mediated also by changes in the assembly of glutamate receptor subunits. These novel functional glia-neuronal interactions add important insights into the mechanism of ictogenesis and seizure-associated neuronal cell death, highlighting innovative pharmacological strategies to block the activation of cytokine-mediated signalling in diseased conditions.
Kinematic wave solutions for dam-break floods in non-uniform valleys

description: In non-uniform valleys, dam-break flood waves can be significantly affected by downstream variations in river width, slope and roughness. To model these effects, we derive new analytical solutions to the kinematic wave equation, applicable to rating curves in the power law form and hydrographs of generic shape as long as they produce a single shock at the wave front. New results are first obtained for uniform channels, using the Gauss-Green theorem applied to characteristic-bounded regions of the plane. The results are then extended to non-uniform valleys, using a change of variable that homogenizes river properties by rescaling the distance coordinate. The solutions are illustrated and validated for idealized cases, then applied to three historical dam failures: the 2008 breaching failure of the Tangjiashan landslide dam, the 1976 piping failure of Teton Dam, and the 1959 sudden failure of Malpasset Dam. In spite of the much reduced computational cost and data requirements, the results agree well with the field data and with more elaborate simulations. They also clarify how both river and hydrograph properties affect flood propagation and attenuation.

description: We document three changes in postwar US macroeconomic dynamics: (i) the procyclicality of labor productivity vanished, (ii) the relative volatility of employment rose, and (iii) the relative (and absolute) volatility of the real wage rose. We propose an explanation for all three changes that is based on a common source: the decline in labor market turnover, which reduced hiring frictions. We develop a simple model with hiring frictions, variable e§ort, and endogenous wage rigidities to illustrate the mechanisms underlying our explanation. We show that the decline in turnover may also have contributed to the observed decline in output volatility

description: After recalling the definition of black holes, and reviewing their energetics and their classical thermodynamics, one expounds the conjecture of Bekenstein, attributing an entropy to black holes, and the calculation by Hawking of the semi-classical radiation spectrum of a black hole, involving a thermal (Planckian) factor. One then discusses the attempts to interpret the black-hole entropy as the logarithm of the number of quantum micro-states of a macroscopic black hole, with particular emphasis on results obtained within string theory. After mentioning the (technically cleaner, but conceptually more intricate) case of supersymmetric (BPS) black holes and the corresponding counting of the degeneracy of Dirichlet-brane systems, one discusses in some detail the ``correspondence'' between massive string states and non-supersymmetric Schwarzschild black holes.

description: Radiation from a chaotic cavity filled with gain medium is considered. A set of coupled equations describing the photon density and the population of gain medium is proposed and solved. The spectral distribution and fluctuations of the radiation are found. The full noise is a result of a competition between positive correlations of photons with equal frequencies (due to stimulated emission and chaotic scattering) which increase fluctuations, and a suppression due to interaction with a gain medium which leads to negative correlations between photons. The latter effect is responsible for a pronounced suppression of the photonic noise as compared to the linear theory predictions.

description: Jiangmen Underground neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next generation liquid scintillator neutrino experiment under construction phase in South China. Thanks to the anti-neutrinos produced by the nearby nuclear power plants, JUNO will primarily study the neutrino mass hierarchy, one of the open key questions in neutrino physics. One key ingredient for the success of the measurement is to use high speed, high resolution sampling electronics located very close to the detector signal. Linearity in the response of the electronics in another important ingredient for the success of the experiment. During the initial design phase of the electronics, a custom design, with the Front-End and Read-Out electronics located very close to the detector analog signal has been developed and successfully tested. The present paper describes the electronics structure and the first tests performed on the prototypes. The electronics prototypes have been tested and they show good linearity response, with a maximum deviation of 1.3% over the full dynamic range (1-1000 p.e.), fulfilling the JUNO experiment requirements.

description: We investigate unemployment due to mismatch in the US over the past three decades. We propose an accounting framework that allows us to estimate the overall amount of mismatch unemployment, as well as the contribution of each of the frictions that caused the mismatch. Mismatch is quantitatively important for unemployment and the cyclical behavior of mismatch unemployment is very similar to that of the overall unemployment rate. Geographic mismatch is driven primarily by wage frictions. Mismatch across industries is driven by wage frictions as well as barriers to job mobility. We Önd virtually no role for worker mobility frictions.
Catastrophic Risk, Rare Events, and Black Swans: Could There Be a Countably Additive Synthesis?

description: Catastrophic risk, rare events, and black swans are phenomena that require special attention in normative decision theory. Several papers by Chichilnisky integrate them into a single framework with finitely additive subjective probabilities. Some precursors include: (i) following Jones-Lee (1974), undefined willingness to pay to avoid catastrophic risk; (ii) following R´enyi (1955, 1956) and many successors, rare events whose probability is infinitesimal. Also, when rationality is bounded, enlivened decision trees can represent a dynamic process involving successively unforeseen “true black swan” events. One conjectures that a different integrated framework could be developed to include these three phenomena while preserving countably additive probabilities.

description: Both observational and theoretical evidence point at outflows originating from accretion disks as fundamental ingredients of active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can have more than one component, for example an unbound supersonic wind and a failed wind (FW). The latter is a prediction of the simulations of radiation-driven disk outflows which show that the former is accompanied by an inner failed component, where the flow struggles to escape from the strong gravitational pull of the supermassive black hole. This FW component could provide a physical framework to interpret various phenomenological components of AGN. Here we briefly discuss a few of them: the broad line region, the X-ray obscurer, and the X-ray corona.

The aim of developing this project was to make sure and taking its users safety to a next level. Actually now a days some crime incidents like rapes, fire accidents and snatchings are very common and we believe many of those can be prevented if victim got support at the right time. According to the well known daily news paper of Bangladesh “The Daily Star” there were about 1413 women was rapped where 76 women were dead in 2019. On the same pa-per it also said that in 2018 and 2017 the number of rapes were 732 and 818 where we can easily get that the number increases to almost double in 2019. Where we get a point that if those girls get support or get people known about their location at the right time they might get rid of the situation and the number of rapes could be reduced a lot because we all know that now a days using mo-bile smartphone is too easy for people. Although leading Chinese mobile phone company Xiaomi introduced a new feature “Emergency SOS service” in their mobile phones at the end of 2018 with a MIUI 10 update but this feature is only limited to the Xiaomi phones and it was well advertised as well. This paper will briefly describe all the features of our software and its usages.
Berry's phase contribution to the anomalous Hall effect of gadolinium

description: When conduction electrons are forced to follow the local spin texture, the resulting Berry phase can induce an anomalous Hall effect (AHE). In gadolinium, as in double-exchange magnets, the exchange interaction is mediated by the conduction electrons and the AHE may therefore resemble that of chromium dioxide and other metallic double-exchange ferromagnets. The Hall resistivity, magnetoresistance, and magnetization of single crystal gadolinium were measured in fields up to 30 T. Measurements between 2 K and 400 K are consistent with previously reported data. A scaling analysis for the Hall resistivity as a function of the magnetization suggests the presence of a Berry's-phase contribution to the anomalous Hall effect.

description: Boarding schools substitute school to home, but little is known on the effects this substitution produces on students. We present results of an experiment in which seats in a boarding school for disadvantaged students were randomly allocated. Boarders enjoy better studying conditions than control students. However, they start outperforming control students in mathematics only two years after admission, and this effect mostly comes from strong students. After one year, levels of well-being are lower among boarders, but in their second year, students adjust: well-being catches-up. This suggests that substituting school to home is disruptive: only strong students benefit from the boarding school, once they have managed to adapt to their new environment.

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: The accuracy of the United States Department of Agriculture's marketing margin estimates is dependent largely on methods used in obtaining and utilizing data. For this reason part of the research on margins has been directed toward improving methods for measuring margins. That is the purpose of this report which is one of several reports on various phases of marketing margins and costs for food. In determining margins for dairy products, it is necessary to calculate the quantity of farm milk used to produce a given unit of dairy product, such as a pound of butter or a gallon of ice cream. For this calculation, conversion factors are used which represent the average amount of milk used for a unit of product. In the present report, data available to the Department of Agriculture have been analyzed to afford yield factors that will permit more accurate estimation of the amount of milk required to produce a given quantity of nonfat dry milk solids.

description: In five dimensional models of Higgsless electroweak symmetry breaking, tree level unitarity in gauge boson scattering is restored by the exchange of gauge boson Kaluza-Klein modes instead of a Higgs boson. Unitarity of scattering amplitudes involving top quarks requires also the Kaluza-Klein modes of the third family quarks. It is shown that the relevant unitarity cancellations are consistent with gauge symmetry breaking by boundary conditions. These results are used to constrain the couplings of the top quark to Kaluza-Klein modes and the implications for collider phenomenology are discussed.

description: Since the 1980s, labour demand has shifted toward more educated workers in the US. The most common explanation is that the productivity of skilled workers has risen relative to the unskilled, but it is not easy to explain why aggregate labour productivity was stagnant during the 1980s. This paper suggests an alternative story: introducing new goods involves a xed labour input, which is biased toward white-collar workers. Hence the transition from Ford-style mass production towards more diversied one has shifted labour demand toward white-collar workers.

description: In the presence of both spin-orbit scattering and a magnetic field the conductance of a chaotic GaAs quantum dot displays quite a rich behavior. Using a Hamiltonian derived by Aleiner and Falko [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 256801 (2001)] we calculate the weak localization correction and the covariance of the conductance, as a function of parallel and perpendicular magnetic field and spin-orbit coupling strength. We also show how the combination of an in-plane magnetic field and spin-orbit scattering gives rise to a component to the magnetoconductance that is anti-symmetric with respect to reversal of the perpendicular component of the magnetic field and how spin-orbit scattering leads to a "magnetic-field echo" in the conductance autocorrelation function. Our results can be used for a measurement of the Dresselhaus and Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit scattering lengths in a GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure.

description: We study heterogeneous traffic dynamics by introducing quenched disorders in all the parameters of Newell's car-following model. Specifically, we consider randomness in the free-flow speed, the jam density, and the backward wave speed. The quenched disorders are modeled using beta distributions. It is observed that, at low densities, the average platoon size and the average speed of vehicles evolve as power-laws in time as derived by Ben-Naim, Krapivsky, and Redner (BKR). No power-law behavior has been observed in the time evolution of the second moment of density and density distribution function indicating no equivalence between the present system and the sticky gas. As opposed to a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP), we found no power-law behavior in the stationary gap distribution and the transition from the platoon forming phase to the laminar phase coincides with the free-flow to congestion transition and is always of first-order, independent of the quenched disorder in the free-flow speed. Using mean-field theory, we derived the gap distribution of vehicles and showed that the phase transition is always of first-order, independent of the quenched disorder in the free-flow speed corroborating the simulation results. We also showed that the transition density is the reciprocal of the average gap of vehicles in the platoon in the thermodynamic limit.

description: The study attempts to evaluate the impact of different cropping patterns on men and women employment by farm size in Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. The study is based on primary data collected from 50 small farms and 10 big farms and the data relate to the period 1989-90. The study showed that the ricerice- pulse cropping pattern used the maximum labour, both men and women, followed by sugarcane and rice-pulse-fallow. The results imply that increasing irrigation facility, consolidation of holdings and selection of cropping pattern and crop production practices will brighten employment prospects of both men and women in agriculture.

description: We report on the direct correlation between the structural and optical properties of single, as-grown core-multi-shell GaAs/In$_{0.15}$Ga$_{0.85}$As/GaAs/AlAs/GaAs nanowires. Fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on a pre-patterned Si(111) substrate, on a row of well separated nucleation sites, it was possible to access individual nanowires in the as-grown geometry. The polytype distribution along the growth axis of the nanowires was revealed by synchrotron-based nanoprobe X-ray diffraction techniques monitoring the axial 111 Bragg reflection. For the same nanowires, the spatially-resolved emission properties were obtained by cathodoluminescence hyperspectral linescans in a scanning electron microscope. Correlating both measurements, we reveal a blueshift of the shell quantum well emission energy combined with an increased emission intensity for segments exhibiting a mixed structure of alternating wurtzite and zincblende stacking compared with the pure crystal polytypes. The presence of this mixed structure was independently confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy.

description: The experimental solubility limit of Zr in Al is well-known. Al3Zr has a stable structure DO23 and a metastable one L12. Consequently there is a metastable solubility limit for which only few experimental data are available. The purpose of this study is to obtain by ab-initio calculations the solubility limit of Zr in Al for the stable as well as the metastable phase diagrams. The formation energies of several ordered compounds AlxZr(1 x), all based on an fcc underlying lattice, were calculated using the FP-LMTO (Full Potential Linear Mu n Tin Orbital) method. Taking into account all the relaxations allowed by the symmetry, we found the DO23 structure to be the stable one for Al3Zr. This set of results was then used with the cluster expansion in order to fit a generalized Ising model through the inverse method of Connolly-Williams. Di erent ways to consider volume relaxations were examined. This allowed us to calculate in the Bragg-Williams approximation the configurational free energy at finite temperature. According to the previous FP-LMTO calculations the free energy due to electronic excitations can be neglected. For the vibrational free energy of ordered structures we compared results obtained from a calculation of the elastic constants used with the Debye model and results obtained from a calculation of the phonon spectrum. All these di erent steps lead to a calculation of the solubility limit of Zr in Al which is found to be lower than the experimental one. The solubility limit in the metastable phase diagram is calculated in the same way and can thus be compared to the stable one.

description: Machine learning is driving development across many fields in science and engineering. A simple and efficient programming language could accelerate applications of machine learning in various fields. Currently, the programming languages most commonly used to develop machine learning algorithms include Python, MATLAB, and C/C ++. However, none of these languages well balance both efficiency and simplicity. The Julia language is a fast, easy-to-use, and open-source programming language that was originally designed for high-performance computing, which can well balance the efficiency and simplicity. This paper summarizes the related research work and developments in the application of the Julia language in machine learning. It first surveys the popular machine learning algorithms that are developed in the Julia language. Then, it investigates applications of the machine learning algorithms implemented with the Julia language. Finally, it discusses the open issues and the potential future directions that arise in the use of the Julia language in machine learning.

description: It is widely thought that the early onset of the asymptotic Casimir energy with unit conformal charge signals bosonic string formation of the confining flux connecting a static quark-antiquark pair in QCD. This is observed on a scale where most of the string eigenmodes do not exist and the few stable modes above the ground state are displaced. Hints for the resolution of this paradox are suggested.

description: We investigate the performance of ptychography with noisy data by analyzing the Cramér Rao Lower Bound. The lower bound of ptychography is derived and numerically computed for both plane wave and structured illumination. The influence of Poisson noise on the ptychography reconstruction is discussed. The computation result shows that, if the estimator is unbiased, the minimum variance for Poisson noise is mostly determined by the illumination power and the transmission function of the object. Monte Carlo analysis is conducted to validate our calculation results for different photon numbers. The performance of the maximum likelihood method and the approach of amplitude-based cost function minimization is studied in the Monte Carlo analysis also.

description: India has recorded fairly high growth rates in its agricultural output during the post green revolution period, but the achievement has been restricted to selected pockets and crops. Consequently, the level of income from agriculture sector, per capita of rural population, showed an increase in the siates which were better endowed to adopt the new technology, and it declined or remained stagnant in the states where the new technology could not spread. This has led to sharp increase in inter-state disparities in rural incomes, contrary to our national goal to attain growth with equity. Growth rates achieved in area, production and yield of major crops in different states explain, to a large extent, the variation in inter-state rural incomes, and enables us to assess the performance of agriculture sector of each state. The spatial and temporal variations in the use of critical farm inputs, viz., fertilizer, inigation, high yielding varieties seed and electricity, was found to be an important factor in explaining the regional imbalances in the level of agricultural development.
Multi-wavelength Observations of the Gas-rich Host Galaxy of PDS 456: a New Challenge for the ULIRG-to-QSO Transition Scenario

description: We report new K-band, radio continuum, and CO (1-0) imaging observations and 850 micron photometric observations of PDS 456, the most luminous QSO in the local universe (z<0.3). The 0.6'' resolution K-band image obtained using the Keck telescope shows three compact K~16.5 (M(K)~ -21) sources at a projected distance of ~10 kpc to the southwest, and the host galaxy of PDS 456 may be interacting or merging with one or more companions. The observations using the OVRO millimeter array has revealed a narrow CO (1-0) line (FWHM = 181 km/s) centered at z=0.1849, and 9 x 10^9 solar mass of molecular gas mass is inferred. Radio continuum luminosity is nearly an order of magnitude larger than expected from its FIR luminosity, and the radio source, unresolved by the 2" beam of the VLA, is dominated by the AGN activity. Our 850 micron photometric observations suggest that the cold dust content of the host galaxy is less than one half of the amount in Arp 220. Its SED has both a QSO-like and a ULIRG-like nature, and the observed IR, X-ray, and gas properties suggest that the AGN activity dominates its luminosity. ULIRGs and IR QSOs form a broad continuous track in the ``star formation efficiency'' plot in the manner consistent with the ULIRG-QSO transition scenario, relating the evolution in the dust processed luminosity with the available fuel (gas and dust) supply. However, the location of PDS 456 is clearly offset from the apparent track traced by the ULIRGs and IR QSOs on this plot, and PDS 456 appears to be a rare, exceptional object, and the duration of the physical process governing its present properties must be short compared with the length of the luminous QSO phase.

The magnetic field of pulsars and the gravito-magnetic theory

description: Many authors have considered a gravitational origin of the magnetic field of celestial bodies. Especially, the so-called Wilson-Blackett formula has been investigated, both theoretically and observationally. It appeared possible to deduce this formula from general relativity, e. g., by application of a special interpretation of gravito-magnetic theory. More consequences of the latter theory for pulsars will be considered in this work. As an example, the standard quadrupolar charge density for pulsars can be deduced from the gravito-magnetic theory. Moreover, a new magnetic dipole moment from electromagnetic origin is found, generated in the basic magnetic field from gravito-magnetic origin. In general, for thirteen accreting, slowly rotating, binary pulsars the agreement between the observed magnetic field and the gravito-magnetic prediction is better than between the observed value and the value from the standard magnetic dipole radiation model. At present, an analogous comparison for five isolated pulsars appears to be difficult. For a sample of 100 pulsars the averaged (gravito-)magnetic field, extracted from the magnetic dipole spin-down model, is in fair agreement with the gravito-magnetic prediction. Unfortunately, the (gravito-)magnetic field has not yet directly been measured. Finally, it is found that the first and second order braking indices only depend on the magnetic field from electromagnetic origin.
