title: Progress Toward Structural Studies of a Circularly Permuted Human Hemoglobins Containing T-State Stabilizing Mutations
Creators: name: Hubbard, Rachel J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
Our research is focused on the production of a hemoglobin based oxygen carrier (HBOC) which can be used as a therapeutic in the event of acute blood loss. The administration of cell-free hemoglobin is associated with severe adverse effects due to dissociation of the tetrameric α₂β₂ complex into αβ heterodimers. Our approach to the design of an effective HBOC, is based on a recombinant circularly permuted human hemoglobin in which all of the subunits are linked in a single-chain fashion. This design would prevent the dissociation of the tetramer and allow for the biosynthesis of polymeric hemoglobins of defined mass. Preliminary ligand binding data with our permuted hemoglobins indicate that they prefer the high O₂-affinity R-state conformation over the low O₂-affinity T state. The βN108K and αV96W mutations were introduced to restore T state stability. Preliminary studies of the mutants have shown that while the βN108K mutation improved T-state stability, the αV96W mutation, in the context of the permuted hemoglobin backbone, displays an unexpected destabilizing effect on the T state. We have inserted the βN108K mutation into our single chain hemoglobin in order to obtain structural and functional data however it was discovered that this change significantly decreases expression yield. We would like to utilize X-ray crystallography to gain an atomic-level picture of protein structural differences that could explain the results from our αV96W mutants. Crystallization trials are underway for the αV96W mutant as well as the βN108K mutant and a αV96W + βN108K double mutant. To date no crystals have been obtained that diffract X-rays.

description: We study the thermal expectation value of the following observeable at finite temperature T and chemical potential μ: < L_{12} L_{34} ... L_{d-3,d-2} P_{d-1} > where L_{ij} denote the angular momenta, and P_i denotes the spatial momentum in d spacetime dimensions with d even. We call this observeable the thermal helicity. Using a variety of arguments, we motivate the surprising assertion that thermal helicity per unit volume is a polynomial in T and μ. Further, in field theories without chiral gravitino, we conjecture that this polynomial can be derived from the anomaly polynomial of the theory. We show that this conjecture is related to the recent conjecture on gravitational anomaly induced transport made in arXiv:1201.2812 . We support these statements by various sphere partition function computations in free theories.

description: We characterize vibrational motion occurring at low temperatures in dense suspensions of soft repulsive spheres over a broad range of volume fractions encompassing the jamming transition at (T = 0, phi = phi_J). We find that characteristic time and length scales of thermal vibrations obey critical scaling in the vicinity of the jamming transition. We show in particular that the amplitude and the time scale of dynamic fluctuations diverge symmetrically on both sides of the transition, and directly reveal a diverging correlation length. The critical region near phi_J is divided in three different regimes separated by a characteristic temperature scale T*(phi) that vanishes quadratically with the distance to phi_J. While two of them, (T < T*(phi), phi > phi_J) and (T < T*(phi), phi < phi_J), are described by harmonic theories developed in the zero temperature limit, the third one for T > T*(phi) is inherently anharmonic and displays new critical properties. We find that the quadratic scaling of T*(phi) is due to nonperturbative anharmonic contributions, its amplitude being orders of magnitude smaller than the perturbative prediction based on the expansion to quartic order in the interactions. Our results show that thermal vibrations in colloidal assemblies directly reveal the critical nature of the jamming transition. The critical region, however, is very narrow and has not yet been attained experimentally, even in recent specifically-dedicated experiments.

title: Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and Infant Hearing Assessment: A Kids’ Inpatient Database Review
Creators: name: Creel, Liza
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Objective: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) has become an epidemic. This study assesses documented rates of failed newborn hearing screening (NBHS) or hearing loss diagnosis (HL) in NAS infants, and sociodemographic factors associated with abnormal inpatient hearing results.
Methods: The 2016 HCUP/KID national database was used to identify a weighted sample of infants with failed NBHS/HL during birth hospitalization. Independent variables included diagnoses of NAS/in-utero opioid exposure, HL risk factor presence and sociodemographic data. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine associations between NAS and abnormal hearing assessment.
Results:NAS infants had lower odds ratio (OR) of documented failed NBHS (OR=0.76, p
Conclusion: NAS children have lower rates of inpatient documented failed NBHS and higher rates of HL diagnosis. The complex medical care of these infants could complicate NBHS, documentation, and subsequent follow-up. Certain sociodemographic factors result in a higher risk of hearing loss.

description: An important method in many-particle physics is related to the Hubbard model which can be used to investigate the behavior of fermions, particularly to study exchange and correlation of electron- electron interaction. For a special cluster, the molecule consisting of two atoms, the electrons interact via one hopping integral, and for a small number of N = 1; 2; 3 electrons, the model has the advantage that it can be solved exactly. Therefore, some important physical quantities like the Green's function, the spectral function and the self-energy are calculated and discussed. Exchange and correlation are fully treated. The self-energies obtained by two approximate methods, namely the Hartree-Fock and the GW approximation, are compared with the exact self-energy. The comparison allows a discussion of the validity of the approximations versus the ratio of Hubbard parameter and hopping integral.

description: The launching process of a magnetically driven outflow from an accretion disk is investigated in a local, shearing box model which allows a study of the feedback between accretion and angular momentum loss. The mass-flux instability found in previous linear analyses of this problem is recovered in a series of 2D (axisymmetric) simulations in the MRI-stable (high magnetic field strength) regime. At low field strengths that are still sufficient to suppress MRI, the instability develops on a short radial length scale and saturates at a modest amplitude. At high field strengths, a long-wavelength "clump" instability of large amplitude is observed, with growth times of a few orbits. As speculated before, the unstable connection between disk and outflow may be relevant for the time dependence observed in jet-producing disks. The success of the simulations is due in a large part to the implementation of an effective wave-transmitting upper boundary condition.

Es wurde die Abhängigkeit des Gitterwachstumsverhaltens von den Dotierungsparametern der Fasern untersucht sowie der Einfluss von Laserpulsparametern wie Durchschnittsleistung und mittlere Wellenlänge. Gezeigt wurde, dass eine Ytterbiumdotierung einen negativen Effekt auf das Gitterwachstum hat, d.h. es sich mit steigendem Dotierungsgehalt verlangsamt, wohingegen eine Cerdotierung einen positiven Effekt zeigte. Eine Variation der Laserparameter zum Gittereinschreiben führte zu einem schnelleren Gitterwachstum für steigende Durchschnittsleistungen bei Belichtung mit 266 nm Femtosekundenpulsen und einem dotierungs- und leistungsabhängigen Typ-II-Gitterwachstum bei Belichtung mit 400 nm Pulsen. Die Abhängigkeit des Gitterwachstums von der Dotierung und von den Laserparametern wird der unterschiedlichen Defektbildung bzw. -umwandlung zugeschrieben, die letztlich zur Ausbildung einer Brechzahlmodulation führt und damit zum Gitterwachstum beiträgt.

description: We develop a simple model that looks at the incentives of private banks to behave prudentially and undertake costly efforts to lower the probability of bankruptcy or having to be bailed out by a lender of last resort. Government regulators can force banks to increase efforts beyond the privately optimal level. We contrast the national case under autarky with the case of an integrated banking market with bank cross-holdings. Because banks will exert a greater overall effort to monitor their foreign activities, financial integration might lead to more rather than less prudential behavior. Neither needs financial integration lead to a regulatory race to the bottom. We use the framework to investigate the impact of regulatory coordination on bank efforts and discuss incentives for banks to organize their foreign holdings in the form or branches or subsidiaries. We show that the absence of a common lender of last resort can reduce the probability of a financial crisis.

description: We address the question of which convex shapes, when packed as densely as possible under certain restrictions, fill the least space and leave the most empty space. In each different dimension and under each different set of restrictions, this question is expected to have a different answer or perhaps no answer at all. As the problem of identifying global minima in most cases appears to be beyond current reach, in this paper we focus on local minima. We review some known results and prove these new results: in two dimensions, the regular heptagon is a local minimum of the double-lattice packing density, and in three dimensions, the directional derivative (in the sense of Minkowski addition) of the double-lattice packing density at the point in the space of shapes corresponding to the ball is in every direction positive.

CFD Modeling of Smoke Movement in an Atrium
Creators: name: Wu, Robin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this paper is to better understand the behavior of smoke movement in an atrium. Thus gives first responders and civilians in and out of building a better understanding
With the advancements of modern technology, computers and softwares make simulation models possible such as fire models to simulate fire and smoke movements. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) is used to conduct a series of atrium tests to investigate the effectiveness of smoke exhaust systems. FDS solves the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low speed flows (Ma < 0.3) with an emphasis on smoke, heat transport and CO2 concentrations from fires. The default turbulence model used in FDS simulation is the Large Eddy Simulation (LES), which is the solution of Navier-Stokes equations at low speed.
The compartment tested was 9 m × 6 m × 5.5 m height which is the same conditions used in Hadjisophocleous, Fu, and Lougheed [6]. In their paper, the measured exhaust rates used ranged from 2.0 to 5.0 kg/s with thermocouples placed at various heights to see the upper smoke layer and the lower air layer along with the convective boundary layer or interface layer. CO2 concentrations, heat release rates, and temperatures are looked at to better understand the behavior of smoke. Keep in mind that this is only a short term test of 1300 seconds of simulations time. Also note that FDS does not simulate the burning of materials. There are other softwares like CFAST and PyroSim would better support this. FDS also does not consider flashovers.
FDS applies Deardorff's turbulence model [3] and Smagorinksy model [14] to predict the CO2 concentration, upper smoke layer and temperatures. Both these models are briefly described in this paper with focus on fluid flow at low speeds. The results from the model
of best ways to save lives and to minimize losses due to fire or smoke damages.
are compared to the experimental results by Hadjisophocleous, Fu, and Lougheed [6] to see if the CO2 concentrations and heat release rates are similar.

description: Background: Studying severe acute maternal morbidity in the intensive care unit improves our understanding of potential factors affecting maternal health. Aim: To review evidence on maternal exposure to intimate partner violence and social determinants of health in women with severe acute maternal morbidity in the intensive care unit. Methods: The protocol for this review was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42016037492). A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, ProQuest, LILACS and SciELO using the search terms “intensive care unit”, “intensive care”, “critical care” and “critically ill” in combination with “intimate partner violence”, “social determinants of health”, “severe acute maternal morbidity”, pregnancy, postpartum and other similar terms. Eligible studies were (i) quantitative, (ii) published in English and Spanish, (iii) from 2000 to 2021, (iv) with data related to intimate partner violence and/or social determinants of health, and (v) investigating severe acute maternal morbidity (maternity patients treated in the intensive care unit during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of pregnancy termination). Of 52,866 studies initially identified, 1087 full texts were assessed and 156 studies included. Studies were independently assessed by two reviewers for screening, revision, quality assessment and abstracted data. Studies were categorised into high/middle/low-income countries and summarised data were presented using a narrative description, due to heterogenic data as: (i) exposure to intimate partner violence and (ii) social determinants of health. Results: One study assessed intimate partner violence among mothers with severe acute maternal morbidity in the intensive care unit and found that women exposed to intimate partner violence before and during pregnancy had a nearly four-fold risk of severe acute maternal morbidity requiring ICU admission. Few social determinants of health other than age were reported in most studies. Conclusion: This review identified a significant gap in knowledge concerning intimate partner violence and social determinants of health in women with severe acute maternal morbidity in the intensive care unit, which is essential to better understand the complete picture of the maternal morbidity spectrum and reduce maternal mortality.
Exploring the Utility of Mindfulness in the Elementary School Classroom

Year: 2019

description: Current evidence supporting the efficacy of mindfulness training in the K-12 setting is quite limited. In addition there is a lack of theory that is committed explicitly to explaining how a direct mindfulness-achievement effect might appear. This study builds a promising foundation for helping address this gap in the existing literature. Framed within the context of a limited source model of self-regulation, academic achievement and perceptions of third, fourth, and, fifth graders participating in a 3-week mindfulness training program were examined across variables of executive control, and emotional regulation. Mindfulness training produced observed emotional and cognitive benefits, including increased executive control and decreased negative affect, which translated to improved academic performance at the third grade elementary level. The study occurred in an active school environment and results were analyzed through a series of mixed model analyses of variance. In addition, implications for future research are discussed.

description: We demonstrate reproducible voltage induced non-volatile switching of the magnetization in an epitaxial thin Fe81Ga19 film. Switching is induced at room temperature and without the aid of an external magnetic field. This is achieved by the modification of the magnetic anisotropy by mechanical strain induced by a piezoelectric transducer attached to the layer. Epitaxial Fe81Ga19 is shown to possess the favourable combination of cubic magnetic anisotropy and large magnetostriction necessary to achieve this functionality with experimentally accessible levels of strain. The switching of the magnetization proceeds by the motion of magnetic domain walls, also controlled by the voltage induced strain.

description: Vast research in the last decades has shed interesting light on a variety of heterogeneous systems, including the human brain, by studying their network properties. Our investigation aimed to see whether the system of dream sources and of the semantic links between them shares the network properties of the brain. The investigation was carried out by means of an appropriate graph representation of data obtained according to a protocol oriented to eliciting episodic dream sources. The main results were the following: most dream sources belonged to compact clusters; important hubs, i.e. sources very closely connected to numerous other sources, were present; the vertex-degree distribution presented two significant peaks; small-world properties were valid for most pairs of sources; forms of self-similarity or of partial self-similarity at different scales were observed; the graphs of dreams sources exhibited a very high level of integration between overlapping clusters.

Year: 2023

description: Communication skills are the bedrock of success in various aspects of life. While linguistic skills, such as reading, writing, and speaking, play a significant role in communication, non-linguistic educational institutions, such as science and mathematics-focused schools, also recognize the importance of effective communication. In these institutions, teachers play a crucial role in shaping and enhancing students' communication skills, fostering an environment where students can express complex ideas and concepts beyond language. This article explores the multifaceted role of teachers in developing communication skills within non-linguistic educational institutions.

description: We analyze the compliance costs of individual taxpyers resulting from the German income tax. using survey data that has been raised between December 2008 and April 2009, we find evidence for a considerably higher cost burden of self-employed taxpaxers. Taxable income and the demand for external support are positively correlated with compliance costs, while the time effort of female taxpayers is significantly lower. We also find evidence for a positive correlation of education and tax knowledge with the compliance burden. By contrast, a joint assessment of a married couple seems to reduce the monetized time effort. The aggregated cost burden of German income taxpayers amounts to 6.1-7.2 billion €, respectively 3.2-3.7 % of the income tax revenue in 2007. This estimate is higher than latest projections in a number of other European countries like Spain and Sweden, but significantly lower than results for the United States and Australia.

description: This article describes a prototype implementation of a web interface for the Matita proof assistant. The interface supports all basic functionalities of the local Gtk interface, but takes advantage of the markup to enrich the document with several kinds of annotations or active elements. Annotations may have both a presentational/hypertextual nature, aimed to improve the quality of the proof script as a human readable document, or a more semantic nature, aimed to help the system in its processing of the script. The latter kind comprises information automatically generated by the proof assistant during previous compilations, and stored to improve the performance of re-executing expensive operations like disambiguation or automation.

description: Inpainting is the technique of reconstructing unknown or damaged portions of an image in a visually plausible way. Inpainting algorithm automatically fills the damaged region in an image using the information available in undamaged region. Propagation of structure and texture information becomes a challenge as the size of damaged area increases. In this paper, a hierarchical inpainting algorithm using wavelets is proposed. The hierarchical method tries to keep the mask size smaller while wavelets help in handling the high pass structure information and low pass texture information separately. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested using different factors. The results of our algorithm are compared with existing methods such as interpolation, diffusion and exemplar techniques.

description: Newly discovered Bi-O-S compounds remain an enigma in attempts to understand their electronic properties. A recent study of Bi$_{4}$O$_{4}$S$_{3}$ has shown it to be a mixture of two phases, Bi$_{2}$OS$_{2}$ and Bi$_{3}$O$_{2}$S$_{3}$, the latter being superconducting [W. A. Phelan et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 135, 5372 (2013)]. Using density functional theory, we explore the electronic structure of both the phases and the effect of the introduction of stacking faults. Our results demonstrate that the S$_{2}$ layers dope the bismuth-sulphur bands. The bands at the Fermi level are of clear two-dimensional character. One band manifold is confined to the two adjacent, square-lattice bismuth-sulphur planes, a second manifold is confined to the square lattice of sulphur dimers. We show that the introduction of defects in the stacking does not influence the electronic structure. Finally, we also show that spin-orbit coupling does not have any significant effect on the states close to the Fermi level at the energy scale considered.

description: We investigate the problem of optimally reversing the action of an arbitrary quantum channel C which acts independently on each component of an ensemble of n identically prepared d-dimensional quantum systems. In the limit of large ensembles, we construct the optimal reversing channel R* which has to be applied at the output ensemble state, to retrieve a smaller ensemble of m systems prepared in the input state, with the highest possible rate m/n. The solution is found by mapping the problem into the optimal reversal of Gaussian channels on quantum-classical continuous variable systems, which is here solved as well. Our general results can be readily applied to improve the implementation of robust long-distance quantum communication. As an example, we investigate the optimal reversal rate of phase flip channels acting on a multi-qubit register.

description: Broad negative affect has been consistently shown to predict problematic alcohol use. More specific affect-based constructs, though, have been shown to predict problem drinking above and beyond broad negative affectivity. The current study aims to investigate transactions among and predictive roles of broad negative affectivity and specific affective-based factors in relation to problem drinking among a sample of 358 students assessed twice during their first year of college. Participants were assessed for negative urgency (the tendency to act rashly when highly emotional), affective lability (the tendency to experience rapid and intense shifts in mood), negative affectivity, and problem drinking via self-report measures completed online. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Negative urgency and affective lability predicted problem drinking above and beyond broad negative affect, and broad negative affect had no incremental predictive power. When considered together, negative urgency and affective lability significantly predicted problem drinking in a model in which their predictive pathways were constrained to be equal. Additionally, affective lability predicted increases in negative urgency, but the opposite was not true. Continued work toward the development of comprehensive affect-based risk models for problem drinking is needed.

description: This paper provides new empirical insights on the elasticity of taxable income for Germany. Using a rich panel of German income tax return data, the tax reforms of 2004 and 2005 are exploited implementing a new dynamic income model. Showing and discussing potential estimation problems of the most prominent model in the literature by Gruber and Saez (2002), this dynamic model delivers significant smaller estimates of the elasticity of taxable income. The overall estimate is 0.36 and robust against a number of sensitivity checks including non linear income controls. Elasticities differ between married and single assessed taxpayers with an elasticity of 0.17 for single and 0.44 for married taxpayers. These elasticities are similar to recent German results and considerablly smaller than recent results for the US from Weber(2014).
Combined topological and Landau order from strong correlations in Chern bands

description: We present a class of states with both topological and conventional Landau order that arise out of strongly interacting spinless fermions in fractionally filled and topologically non-trivial bands with Chern number $C=\pm 1$. These quantum states show the features of fractional Chern insulators, such as fractional Hall conductivity and interchange of ground-state levels upon insertion of a magnetic flux. In addition, they exhibit charge order and a related additional trivial ground-state degeneracy. Band mixing and geometric frustration of the charge pattern place these lattice states markedly beyond a single-band description.

description: Business exit has implications for a firm’s corporate strategy. Two types of exit events are distinguished: those that involve strategic change and those that are status quo-preserving. This study investigates the impact of CEO turnover and succession on strategic versus status quo-preserving business exits. Based on a sample of CEO turnover and succession events and subsequent business exits of German corporations from different industries, our results suggest that neither voluntary nor involuntary CEO turnover is relevant to business exit. In contrast, outsider succession significantly affects the likelihood of strategic business exit, while a corporation’s performance does not moderate this relationship.

description: We consider the negative weight percolation (NWP) problem on hypercubic lattice graphs with fully periodic boundary conditions in all relevant dimensions from d=2 to the upper critical dimension d=6. The problem exhibits edge weights drawn from disorder distributions that allow for weights of either sign. We are interested in in the full ensemble of loops with negative weight, i.e. non-trivial (system spanning) loops as well as topologically trivial ("small") loops. The NWP phenomenon refers to the disorder driven proliferation of system spanning loops of total negative weight. While previous studies where focused on the latter loops, we here put under scrutiny the ensemble of small loops. Our aim is to characterize -using this extensive and exhaustive numerical study- the loop length distribution of the small loops right at and below the critical point of the hypercubic setups by means of two independent critical exponents. These can further be related to the results of previous finite-size scaling analyses carried out for the system spanning loops. For the numerical simulations we employed a mapping of the NWP model to a combinatorial optimization problem that can be solved exactly by using sophisticated matching algorithms. This allowed us to study here numerically exact very large systems with high statistics.

description: We study contracting between a consumer and an expert. The expert can invest in diagnosis to obtain a noisy signal about whether a low–cost service is sufficient or whether a high–cost treatment is required to solve the consumer’s problem. This involves moral hazard because diagnosis effort and signals are not observable. Treatments are contractible, but success or failure of the low–cost treatment is observed only by the consumer. Payments can therefore not depend on the objective outcome but only the consumer’s report, or subjective evaluation. A failure of the low–cost treatment delays the solution of the consumer’s problem by the high–cost treatment to a second period. We show that the first–best solution can always be implemented if the parties’ discount rate is zero; an increase in the discount rate reduces the range of parameter combinations for which the first–best can be obtained. In an extension we show that the first–best is also always implementable if diagnosis and treatment can be separated by contracting with two different agents.

description: A library of N-benzylpyridinium-based compounds, 7a-j and 8a-j, was designed and synthesised as potential acetylcholinesterase) AChE (inhibitors. An in vitro assay for the synthesised compounds showed that most compounds had significant AChE inhibitory activities at the nanomolar and submicromolar levels. The benzyl (8a) and fluoro (8b) derivatives were the most active, with IC50 values ≤56 nM. Compound 7f, which had a benzyl moiety, showed the highest potency among all the target compounds, with an IC50 value of 7.5 ± 0.19 nM against AChE, which was higher than that of the activities of tacrine (IC50 = 30 ± 0.2 nM) and donepezil (IC50 = 14 ± 0.12 nM). Compounds with vanillin moieties exhibited antioxidant activity. Among the tested compounds, four derivatives (7f, 7 g, 8f, and 8 g) exhibited superior AChE inhibitory activity, with Ki values of 6–16 nM, which were potent in the same range as the approved drug, donepezil. These compounds showed moderate antioxidant activities, as indicated by the results of the ABTS assay.
