description: We undertake a covariance error analysis of the pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constants from the Granada-2013 np and pp database comprising a total of 6720 scattering data below LAB energy of 350 MeV. Assuming a unique pion-nucleon coupling constant in the One Pion Exchange potential above a boundary radius $r_c=3 {\rm fm}$ we obtain $f^2=0.0763(1)$. The effects of charge symmetry breaking on the $^3P_0$, $^3P_1$ and $^3P_2$ partial waves are analyzed and we find $f_{p}^2 = 0.0761(4)$, $f_{0}^2 = 0.0790(9)$ and $f_{c}^2 = 0.0772(6)$ with a strong anti-correlation between $f_c^2$ and $f_0^2$. We successfully test normality for the residuals of the fit. Potential tails in terms of different boundary radii as well as chiral Two-Pion-Exchange contributions as sources of systematic uncertainty are also investigated.

description: For bosons, the transition rate into an already occupied quantum state is enhanced by its occupation number: the effect of bosonic stimulation. Bosonic enhancement of light scattering has been predicted more than 30 years ago but has not been observed before. Here we theoretically investigate and experimentally demonstrate this effect. We show that the bosonic enhancement factor for a harmonically trapped gas is bounded by a universal constant $ζ(2)/ζ(3)$ above the phase transition to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), and depends linearly on the BEC fraction just below the phase transition. Bosonically enhanced light scattering is observed and characterized above and below the phase transition, and the effect of interactions is discussed. For a multi-level system, bosonic enhancement is reduced because bosonic stimulation occurs only for Rayleigh scattering, but not for Raman scattering.

description: Bacteria commonly live in surface-associated communities where steep gradients of antibiotics and other chemical compounds can occur. While many bacterial species move on surfaces, we know surprisingly little about how such antibiotic gradients affect cell motility. Here, we study the behaviour of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa in stable spatial gradients of several antibiotics by tracking thousands of cells in microfluidic devices as they form biofilms. Unexpectedly, these experiments reveal that bacteria use pili-based ('twitching') motility to navigate towards antibiotics. Our analyses suggest that this behaviour is driven by a general response to the effects of antibiotics on cells. Migrating bacteria reach antibiotic concentrations hundreds of times higher than their minimum inhibitory concentration within hours and remain highly motile. However, isolating cells - using fluid-walled microfluidic devices - reveals that these bacteria are terminal and unable to reproduce. Despite moving towards their death, migrating cells are capable of entering a suicidal program to release bacteriocins that kill other bacteria. This behaviour suggests that the cells are responding to antibiotics as if they come from a competing colony growing nearby, inducing them to invade and attack. As a result, clinical antibiotics have the potential to lure bacteria to their death.

This result has several applications, including that convex cocompact subgroups of both mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are stable.

Genetic testing

description: Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder due to the deficient activity of the acid beta-glucosidase (GCase) enzyme, resulting in the progressive lysosomal accumulation of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and its deacylated derivate, glucosylsphingosine (GlcSph). GCase is encoded by the GBA1 gene, located on chromosome 1q21 16 kb upstream from a highly homologous pseudogene. To date, more than 400 GBA1 pathogenic variants have been reported, many of them derived from recombination events between the gene and the pseudogene. In the last years, the increased access to new technologies has led to an exponential growth in the number of diagnostic laboratories offering GD testing. However, both biochemical and genetic diagnosis of GD are challenging and to date no specific evidence-based guidelines for the laboratory diagnosis of GD have been published. The objective of the guidelines presented here is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the technical implementation and interpretation of biochemical and genetic testing for the diagnosis of GD to ensure a timely and accurate diagnosis for patients with GD worldwide. The guidelines have been developed by members of the Diagnostic Working group of the International Working Group of Gaucher Disease (IWGGD), a non-profit network established to promote clinical and basic research into GD for the ultimate purpose of improving the lives of patients with this disease. One of the goals of the IWGGD is to support equitable access to diagnosis of GD and to standardize procedures to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, a guideline development group consisting of biochemists and geneticists working in the field of GD diagnosis was established and a list of topics to be discussed was selected. In these guidelines, twenty recommendations are provided based on information gathered through a systematic review of the literature and two different diagnostic algorithms are presented, considering the geographical differences in the access to diagnostic services. Besides, several gaps in the current diagnostic workflow were identified and actions to fulfill them were taken within the IWGGD. We believe that the implementation of recommendations provided in these guidelines will promote an equitable, timely and accurate diagnosis for patients with GD worldwide.
Search for narrow resonances in the b-tagged dijet mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

description: A search is performed for narrow resonances decaying to final states of two jets, with at least one jet originating from a b quark, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Jets originating from energetic b hadrons are identified through a b-tagging algorithm that utilizes a deep neural network or the presence of a muon inside a jet. The invariant mass spectrum of jet pairs is well described by a smooth parametrization and no evidence for the production of new particles is observed. Upper limits on the production cross section are set for excited b quarks and other resonances decaying to dijet final states containing b quarks. These limits exclude at 95% confidence level models of Z' bosons with masses from 1.8 to 2.4 TeV and of excited b quarks with masses from 1.8 to 4.0 TeV. This is the most stringent exclusion of excited b quarks to date.

Nature, culture, infrastructure: urban and suburban hiking in New Jersey's gateway region
Creators: name: Erickson, Anna C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Our relationship with nature is one that is constantly evolving. This can be evidenced by what we do not consider to be nature as much as what we do consider it to be. In New Jersey, our relationship with infrastructural corridors in the landscape is paradoxical. We want the benefits associated with them, but often wish for their physical forms to be kept out of sight and out of mind. This mindset is exemplified in our attitude towards power lines, which have long been considered the ugly antithesis of nature by many people living in urban areas. However, it could be argued that this interpretation of our infrastructural landmarks is becoming unhealthy, and that a more holistic view of power lines can open up greater opportunities and services that are currently closed off to us. While a lot of thought has been given towards hybrid systems of humankind and nature in recent decades, ‘nature’ is often still regarded as an external force that exists independently of anthropogenic influence in its most pure form, and human interaction with it is often perceived as ‘unnatural '. However, when the boundary between humankind and nature is questioned, it becomes evident that while electric transmission towers may have represented one particular relationship with nature in the past, it does not have to remain that way. In this thesis, I focus heavily on the role of landmarks and post-industrial areas to explore the human-nature relationship and the perceptual boundaries between these two categories. This is broken up into two parts.Chapter 1 delves into a literature review of the concepts of nature and place, ending with a summary of my experience traveling the Route of Industrial Heritage in Germany’s Ruhrgebiet. An explanation as to why this landscape provides a useful comparison for the landscape of northern New Jersey is provided, with the full narrative being located in the Appendix. Chapter 2 utilizes a research by design approach to explore the integration of functioning infrastructure into landscape design, so that power lines become visible to us both as the material and metaphorical conduits that they are. Rather than being perceived as separate from and in contrast to the natural landscape, the electric right-of-way can be viewed as a beautiful harmony in which the arrested succession of the meadow is maintained and framed by maintenance practices associated with the towers. Similar to the way that a host of ‘invisible’ ecosystem services and ecological processes are represented by the meadow, which could also have been considered ugly before its value was understood, electrical infrastructure represents important yet invisible landscape processes that our modern lifestyle depends upon. As a greater amount of attention is being devoted to hybrid systems and ‘4th nature’ today, our idea of the human versus nature relationship is still yet being reborn.
High-momentum distribution with subleading $k^{-3}$ tail in the odd-wave interacting one-dimensional Fermi gases

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: We study the odd-wave interacting identical fermions in one-dimension with finite effective range. We show that to fully describe the high-momentum distribution $ρ(k)$ up to $k^{-4}$, one needs four parameters characterizing the properties when two particles {\it contact} with each other. Two parameters are related to the variation of energy with respect to the odd-wave scattering length and the effective range, respectively, determining the $k^{-2}$ tail and part of $k^{-4}$ tail in $ρ(k)$. The other two parameters are related to the center-of-mass motion of the system, respectively determining the $k^{-3}$ tail and the other part of $k^{-4}$ tail. We point out that the unusual $k^{-3}$ tail, which has not been discovered before in atomic systems, is an intrinsic component to complete the general form of $ρ(k)$ and also realistically detectable under certain experimental conditions. Various other universal relations are also derived in terms of those contact parameters, and finally the results are confirmed through the exact solution of a two-body problem.

description: We find that QCD can create the cosmological matter abundance via out-of-equilibrium processes during the QCD phase transition, that is what we call the QCD preheating, where the dynamic transition of the QCD vacuum characterized by the quark condensate takes place instantaneously. This mechanism works when the Universe undergoes subsequent supercooled QCD transition. We also find that the QCD preheating can work to create the baryon asymmetry of the Universe if there is the new physics communicated with QCD. These are new pictures of the thermal history around the QCD-phase transition epoch, and thus the dynamic aspect of the QCD vacuum opens a new frontier to explore low-scale matter generation such as baryogenesis. Pursuing the QCD reheating era would also help deeply understanding the subatomic-scale physics in the thermal history of the Universe.

title: Why stop having fun?: Drinking and smoking as ways of 'doing' girl
Creators: name: Cullen, Fiona
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2007

description: In recent years a great deal has been written by journalists, policy makers and academics, about young women's leisure time pursuits. Much of this interest has focused around a concern that young women in the UK are smoking more regularly and in greater quantities than ever before. This thesis responds to these concerns. My key argument is that the young women in the field settings used alcohol and tobacco to partly negotiate entry into imagined 'adult' drinking and smoking femininities, and by doing so, girls also explored and practiced ideas of bodily control and social conformity. The theoretical framework for this thesis is influenced by recent feminist poststructuralist work exploring multiple femininities. My aim is to contribute to the theoretical debates around the nature and purpose of drugs education within schools and other youth settings. The research asks: in what ways is young women's tobacco and alcohol use gendered? This small scale, multi method, qualitative research with 13 - 19 year old young women examines a range of aspects of girls drinking and smoking experiences. These include: young women's social geographies, the use of party photography, teenage drinking stories and the young women's use of cigarettes as an informal social currency. My argument is that understanding a whole range of young women's social experiences within friendship groups, provides valuable insights into the complexities of the young women's social worlds. The main findings suggest cigarettes and alcohol use by the girls in the field settings was part of a complex performance and production of contextual age-specific femininities, and the negotiation of gendered and friendship hierarchies. I argue that such an analysis is an important element of theorising and creating more meaningful drugs education for young women.
On the stability of KMS states in perturbative algebraic quantum field theories

description: We analyze the stability properties shown by KMS states for interacting massive scalar fields propagating over Minkowski spacetime, recently constructed in the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theories by Fredenhagen and Lindner \cite{FredenhagenLindner}. In particular, we prove the validity of the return to equilibrium property when the interaction Lagrangian has compact spatial support. Surprisingly, this does not hold anymore, if the adiabatic limit is considered, namely when the interaction Lagrangian is invariant under spatial translations. Consequently, an equilibrium state under the adiabatic limit for a perturbative interacting theory evolved with the free dynamics does not converge anymore to the free equilibrium state. Actually, we show that its ergodic mean converges to a non equilibrium steady state for the free theory.

description: In this work, we report for the first time, detailed calculations of elastic and thermodynamic properties of organic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, in an undiluted state, using PBE and PBEsol-PAW pseudopotentials within the framework of Generalized Gradient Approximation Density Functional Theory. Contrary to Molecular Dynamic simulations, series of PBE and PBEsol-PAW calculations in the current work revealed the most stable state of monoclinic structured pristine PEDOT. We determined thirteen (13) independent elastic constants with elastic compliance which enables us to establish other elastic properties of pristine PEDOT; the Pugh's ratio and the Vicker's hardness calculations show small mismatches with PBE and PBEsol-PAW pseudopotentials. The Debye temperature TD is predicted both in the PBE and PBEsol-PAW calculations while the specific heat capacity Cv(T) follows the Dulong-Petit curve having no mismatch with Debye model at low temperature, with PBE predicting a higher Debye sound velocity than PBEsol-PAW. As accuracy tests only, we performed electronic structure calculations of PEDOT and compared with available data in the literature.

description: In this review, we present the current state of the art of our understanding of the spectrum of excited strongly interacting particles and discuss methods that allow for a systematic and model-independent calculation of the hadron spectrum. These are lattice QCD and effective field theories. Synergies between both approaches can be exploited allowing for deeper understanding of the hadron spectrum. Results based on effective field theories and hadron-hadron scattering in lattice QCD or combinations thereof are presented and discussed. We also show that the often used Breit-Wigner parameterization is at odds with chiral symmetry and should not be used in case of strongly coupled channels.

description: In recent years, questions about the construction of special orderings of a given graph search were studied by several authors. On the one hand, the so called end-vertex problem introduced by Corneil et al. in 2010 asks for search orderings ending in a special vertex. On the other hand, the problem of finding orderings that induce a given search tree was introduced already in the 1980s by Hagerup and received new attention most recently by Beisegel et al. Here, we introduce a generalization of some of these problems by studying the question whether there is a search ordering that is a linear extension of a given partial order on a graph's vertex set. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time on chordal bipartite graphs for LBFS, which also implies the first polynomial-time algorithms for the end-vertex problem and two search tree problems for this combination of graph class and search. Furthermore, we present polynomial-time algorithms for LBFS and MCS on split graphs which generalize known results for the end-vertex and search tree problems.

description: Axon degeneration contributes to the disruption of neuronal circuit function in diseased and injured nervous systems. Severed axons degenerate following the activation of an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway, which culminates in the activation of SARM1 in mammals to execute the pathological depletion of the metabolite NAD+. SARM1 NADase activity is activated by the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). In mammals, keeping NMN levels low potently preserves axons after injury. However, it remains unclear whether NMN is also a key mediator of axon degeneration and dSarm activation in flies. Here, we demonstrate that lowering NMN levels in Drosophila through the expression of a newly generated prokaryotic NMN-Deamidase (NMN-D) preserves severed axons for months and keeps them circuit-integrated for weeks. NMN-D alters the NAD+ metabolic flux by lowering NMN, while NAD+ remains unchanged in vivo. Increased NMN synthesis by the expression of mouse nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (mNAMPT) leads to faster axon degeneration after injury. We also show that NMN-induced activation of dSarm mediates axon degeneration in vivo. Finally, NMN-D delays neurodegeneration caused by loss of the sole NMN-consuming and NAD+-synthesizing enzyme dNmnat. Our results reveal a critical role for NMN in neurodegeneration in the fly, which extends beyond axonal injury. The potent neuroprotection by reducing NMN levels is similar to the interference with other essential mediators of axon degeneration in Drosophila.

These experiments aimed to determine the optimum level of organic Fe supplemented in commercial type diets of sea bream, the comparison between an organic Fe form and two inorganic Fe forms added in the diet of the fish, the effect of supplemented organic Fe on sea bream species exposed to oxygen deprivation stressors related to poor aquaculture husbandry practices and finally the interaction of organic Fe in the diet of sea bream with various levels of other trace minerals (Zn, Cu). The parameters evaluated were the growth performance of the fish, the Fe concentration in three selected tissues (the spleen, the liver and the muscle), the haematological status of the fish (the haematocrit, the red blood cell count, and the haemoglobin) and both the humoral and cellular immunology of the fish (the antibacterial activity of serum and the respiratory burst respectively). 150 mg/Kg of added organic Fe appears to be the recommended level as well as the minimum amount on fish exposed to overstocking conditions. The comparison between the two inorganic Fe forms (Ferrous Sulphate and Ferrous Carbonate) added in the diets show no significant effect on the fish. While, the fish fed the diets with 150 mg/Kg organic Fe and Cu levels lower that 5 mg/Kg had higher Hb values.

description: The nuclear level density (NLD) and $γ$-ray strength function ($γ$SF) of $^{63}\mathrm{Ni}$ have been investigated using the Oslo method. The extracted NLD is compared with previous measurements using particle evaporation and those found from neutron resonance spacing. The $γ$SF was found to feature a strong low energy enhancement that could be explained as M1 strength based on large scale shell model calculations. Comparison of $γ$SFs measured with the Oslo method for various $\mathrm{Ni}$ isotopes reveals systematic changes to the strength below $5$ MeV with increasing mass.

description: The scalar dipole polarizabilities, $α_{E1}$ and $β_{M1}$, are fundamental properties related to the internal dynamics of the nucleon. The currently accepted values of the proton polarizabilities were determined by fitting to unpolarized proton Compton scattering cross section data. The measurement of the beam asymmetry $Σ_{3}$ in a certain kinematical range provides an alternative approach to the extraction of the scalar polarizabilities. At the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) the beam asymmetry was measured for Compton scattering below pion photoproduction threshold for the first time. The results are compared with model calculations and the influence of the experimental data on the extraction of the scalar polarizabilities is determined.

MNCS and human rights: current status and future directions
Creators: name: Ng, Thomas
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science to the La Trobe Law School, Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis examines the responsibilities of multinational corporations (MNCs) for human rights violations. Chapter I of this thesis defines and explains what multinational corporations are, and the manner in which they play a dominant role in the globalized economy. Chapter I also lays out the research questions and methods used for this research. Chapter I concludes that multinational corporations have ambiguous legal status, and that ambiguity, in turn, can prevents international human rights law from effective regulation of MNCs. Chapter II examines the relationship between human rights law and the global economy. Chapter II argues and concludes that human rights law should be an integral part of the emerging law of the global economy. Chapter III addresses the place of multinational corporations in contemporary international law and determines that international law often serves to protect multinational corporations through various domestic State laws of foreign investment. Chapter III also notes that in recent decades, various domestic laws governing foreign investment have taken on an increasingly regulatory hue and concludes that multinational corporations should generally be treated as subjects of international law, with analogous rights and duties, similar—but not identical—to those possessed by independent States. Chapter IV uses a series of examples of alleged human rights abuses to survey evolving human rights norms in determining whether they are applicable to multinational corporations’ activities. Finally, this thesis concludes by proposing ways in which the emerging norms of human rights law applicable to multinational corporations may be implemented and enforced and evaluates the efficacy of international mechanisms or coordinated domestic approaches for the effective regulation of corporate human rights abuses.

description: Transport of intensity equation (TIE) exhibits a non-interferometric correlation between intensity and phase variations of intermediate fields (e.g., light and electron) in biological imaging. Previous TIE formulations have generally assumed a free space propagation of monochromatic coherent field functions crossing phase distributions along a longitudinal direction. Here, we modify the TIE with fractal (or self-similar) organization models based on intracellular refractive index turbulence. We then implement the TIE simulation over a broad range of fractal dimensions and wavelengths. Simulation results show how the intensity propagation through the spatial fluctuation of intracellular refractive index interconnects fractal-dimensionality with intensity dispersion (or transmissivity) within the picometer to micrometer wavelength range. In addition, we provide a spatial-autocorrelation of phase derivatives which allows the direct measurement and reconstruction of intracellular fractal profiles from optical and electron microscopy imaging.

description: Science advice for governments attracted great scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the public spotlight on institutions and individual experts-putting science advice on the 'Grand Stage'. A review of the academic literature identified transparency, a plurality of expertise, the science and policy 'boundary', and consensus whilst addressing uncertainty as key themes. The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has been the primary provider of coordinated scientific and technical advice to the UK Government during emergencies since 2009. Using the first 89 of SAGE's meeting minutes (study period: 22 January 2020-13 May 2021), the 'metadata' and linguistic choices are analysed to identify how SAGE's role and protocols are communicated. This includes understanding which experts were regularly taking part in discussions, the role of scientific experts in the science advisory system and their influence on policy choices, and the degree of consensus and uncertainty within this group of experts-all of which relate to the degree of transparency with the public. In addition, a temporal analysis examines how these practices, such as linguistically marking uncertainty, developed over the period studied. Linguistic markers indexing certainty and uncertainty increased, demonstrating a commitment to precise and accurate communication of the science, including ambiguities and the unknown. However, self-references to SAGE decreased over the period studied. The study highlights how linguistic analysis can be a useful approach for developing an understanding of science communication practices and scientific ambiguity. By considering how SAGE presents to those outside the process, the research calls attention to what remains 'behind the scenes' and consequently limits the public's understanding of SAGE's role in the COVID-19 response.

description: We propose a novel method for reducing the number of variables in quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems, using a quantum annealer (or any sampler) to fix the value of a large portion of the variables to values that have a high probability of being optimal. The resulting problems are usually much easier for the quantum annealer to solve, due to their being smaller and consisting of disconnected components. This approach significantly increases the success rate and number of observations of the best known energy value in samples obtained from the quantum annealer, when compared with calling the quantum annealer without using it, even when using fewer annealing cycles. Use of the method results in a considerable improvement in success metrics even for problems with high-precision couplers and biases, which are more challenging for the quantum annealer to solve. The results are further enhanced by applying the method iteratively and combining it with classical pre-processing. We present results for both Chimera graph-structured problems and embedded problems from a real-world application.
