Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) is characterized by a conically twisting director and by a dramatic softening of the bend elastic constant before the transition to NTB phase. In the recently found splay nematic phase (NS) the splay elastic constant tends to zero, resulting in a splay modulation perpendicular to the director. We model both phases with a single Q-tensor free energy including a term that breaks the degeneracy between the splay and bend elastic constant, and a flexoelectric term coupling the divergence of the Q-tensor with polarization. NTB or NS phase is obtained by a change of sign of one elastic parameter. Measured elastic constants show that N-NTB transition is mainly driven by the increase of the nematic order, while the NS transition is due to flexoelectric coupling.

description: In order to explore how superconductivity arises when charge fluctuations and spin fluctuations coexist, we have obtained a phase diagram against the off-site repulsion V and band filling n for the extended, repulsive Hubbard model on the square lattice with the fluctuation exchange approximation. We have found the existence of (i) a transition between dxy and dx2-y2 pairing symmetries, (ii) f-pairing in between the dx2-y2 and CDW phases for intermediate 0.5 f -> s when V (hence the charge fluctuations) are increased. All these are consequences of the structure in the charge and spin susceptibilities, which have peaks habitating at the common or segregated positions in k space.

description: The increase in the prevalence of mental health problems has coincided with a growing popularity of health related social networking sites. Regardless of their therapeutic potential, On-line Support Groups (OSGs) can also have negative effects on patients. In this work we propose a novel methodology to automatically verify the presence of therapeutic factors in social networking websites by using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. The methodology is evaluated on On-line asynchronous multi-party conversations collected from an OSG and Twitter. The results of the analysis indicate that therapeutic factors occur more frequently in OSG conversations than in Twitter conversations. Moreover, the analysis of OSG conversations reveals that the users of that platform are supportive, and interactions are likely to lead to the improvement of their emotional state. We believe that our method provides a stepping stone towards automatic analysis of emotional states of users of online platforms. Possible applications of the method include provision of guidelines that highlight potential implications of using such platforms on users' mental health, and/or support in the analysis of their impact on specific individuals.

description: We derive the exact partition function for a discrete model of random trees embedded in a one-dimensional space. These trees have vertices labeled by integers representing their position in the target space, with the SOS constraint that adjacent vertices have labels differing by +1 or -1. A non-trivial partition function is obtained whenever the target space is bounded by walls. We concentrate on the two cases where the target space is (i) the half-line bounded by a wall at the origin or (ii) a segment bounded by two walls at a finite distance. The general solution has a soliton-like structure involving elliptic functions. We derive the corresponding continuum scaling limit which takes the remarkable form of the Weierstrass p-function with constrained periods. These results are used to analyze the probability for an evolving population spreading in one dimension to attain the boundary of a given domain with the geometry of the target (i) or (ii). They also translate, via suitable bijections, into generating functions for bounded planar graphs.

description: We study the Integrated Density of States of one-dimensional random operators acting on $\ell^2(\mathbb Z)$ of the form $T + V_ω$ where $T$ is a Laurent (also called bi-infinite Toeplitz) matrix and $V_ω$ is an Anderson potential generated by i.i.d. random variables. We assume that the operator $T$ is associated to a bounded, Hölder-continuous symbol $f$, that attains its minimum at a finite number of points. We allow for $f$ to attain its minima algebraically. The resulting operator $T$ is long-range with weak (algebraic) off-diagonal decay. We prove that this operator exhibits Lifshitz tails at the lower edge of the spectrum with an exponent given by the Integrated Density of States of $T$ at the lower spectral edge. The proof relies on generalizations of Dirichlet-Neumann bracketing to the long-range setting and a generalization of Temple's inequality to degenerate ground state energies.

description: Disposing of oily wastewater poses a significant challenge in treating oilfield-produced wastewater treatment. This study developed a FeSNC-9/PMS system for the effective degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in oily wastewater, while increasing the value of excess sludge, thus achieving the dual purpose of waste treatment. This work involved the in-situ preparation of a porous nitrogen-doped biochar-supported iron sulphide catalyst material using surplus sludge from SBR. Compared to undoped FeS (NC-9), FeSNC-9 exhibited excellent pore structure and abundant functional groups. Fe-Nx served as an effective connecting site between FeS species and the graphite network of biochar. The FeSNC-9/PMS system significantly degraded 74.21% of TPHs within 300 min. The FeSNC-9/PMS system demonstrated remarkable TPHs degradation efficiency across a wide temperature range and under both weak acidity and near-neutral conditions The dominant reactive oxygen species were identified as SO4•− and •OH, with O2•− and 1O2 also confirmed as active species. Gas chromatography semi-quantitative analysis showed that the long-chain alkanes of C20-C30 in total petroleum hydrocarbons were significantly degraded into short-chain alkanes or completely mineralized. This work provides new insights for the low-cost and high-efficiency treatment of TPHs in oilfield-produced water, and delves into the activation mechanism of PMS and the degradation pathways of TPHs.

description: In this paper, we propose a no-reference (NR) image quality assessment (IQA) method via feature level pseudo-reference (PR) hallucination. The proposed quality assessment framework is grounded on the prior models of natural image statistical behaviors and rooted in the view that the perceptually meaningful features could be well exploited to characterize the visual quality. Herein, the PR features from the distorted images are learned by a mutual learning scheme with the pristine reference as the supervision, and the discriminative characteristics of PR features are further ensured with the triplet constraints. Given a distorted image for quality inference, the feature level disentanglement is performed with an invertible neural layer for final quality prediction, leading to the PR and the corresponding distortion features for comparison. The effectiveness of our proposed method is demonstrated on four popular IQA databases, and superior performance on cross-database evaluation also reveals the high generalization capability of our method. The implementation of our method is publicly available on https://github.com/Baoliang93/FPR.

title: Pharmacokinetic Factors in the Neurotoxicities of p-Bromophenylacetylurea and m-Dinitrobenzene.
Creators: name: Xu, Jinsheng
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: Conventional approaches to the study of neurotoxicants focus exclusively on the direct action of neurotoxicants on the nervous system. In fact, pharmacokinetic and metabolic factors can greatly modify the effect of neurotoxicants. This thesis presents the investigations of the pharmacokinetic and metabolic factors in chemical-induced neurotoxicities, p-Bromophenylacetylurea (BPAU) and m-dinitrobenzene (m-DNB) were selected as model neurotoxicants. Wistar (LACP) and F344 rats, and the analytical techniques of HPLC, MS and NMR were used in the present studies.

 This study has demonstrated that metabolism and pharmacokinetic behaviour of BPAU and m-DNB significantly modified their neurotoxicity. Three metabolites of BPAU, 3-hydroxy-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3 -diazapentane-2,4-dione (M1), 4-4-bromo-phenyl)-3-oxapyrrolidine-2,5-dione (M2) and 3-methyl-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3-diaza- pentane-2,4-dione (M3), were identified and characterised in this study. Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) which can intensify BPAU-induced neuropathy signiflcandy delayed BPAU elimination, increased M1 levels in tissues and decreased M2 concentration in serum This metabolic interaction and neurotoxic synergy between the two compounds represent a distinct model in the mechanistic studies of the promotion of delayed neuropathy. The present study also showed that 1-year old rats which are more susceptible to BPAU-induced neuropathy produced more M1 and less M2 than 6-week old rats.

 In vivo and in vitro studies in this thesis also demonstrated that m-DNB can be metabolised in brain. The major metabolite was 3-nitroaniline (3-NA). An activated intermediate, 3-nitrosonitrobenzene (3-NNB) was detected in the cultured astrocytes and endothelial cells. This suggests that metabolic activation may play an important role in m-DNB-induced neurotoxicity. The infusion-lesion model revealed that once a concentration threshold for m-DNB is exceeded, the time which m-DNB is maintained above that threshold is a more important factor in producing brain lesions than a higher transient concentration.

 This study has demonstrated that pharmacokinetic approaches have a great potential in understanding chemical-induced neurotoxicity.

description: Initial efforts to mitigate transmission of SARS-CoV-2 relied on intensive social distancing measures such as school and workplace closures, shelter-in-place orders and prohibitions on the gathering of people. Other non-pharmaceutical interventions for suppressing transmission include active case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, immunity or health certification, and a wide range of personal protective measures. Here we investigate the potential effectiveness of these alternative approaches to suppression. We introduce a conceptual framework represented by two mathematical models that differ in strategy. We find both strategies may be effective, although both require extensive testing and work within a relatively narrow range of conditions. Generalized protective measures such as wearing face masks, improved hygiene and local reductions in density are found to significantly increase the effectiveness of targeted interventions.

description: Development of high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is of great significance for CO2 separation membrane technology, in order to improve the commercial competitiveness and practical applications. Montmorillonite (MMT) was developed as a dopant to fabricate Polyether block amide (Pebax1074)-based MMMs for strengthening the CO2/N2 separation. The morphology, chemical groups, microstructure, and thermal properties of MMMs were characterised by scanning electron microscope, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis, respectively. The effects of MMT contents, permeation pressure and permeation temperature on the gas separation performance of the Pebax/MMT MMMs were investigated. The results show that the uniformly dispersed dopants MMT in the membrane matrix significantly influence the thermal stability and the structural compactness of MMMs. Moreover, the CO2 permeability monotonously increases in spite of the CO2/N2 selectivity first increasing and then decreasing with the MMT content elevating from 0% to 10% in MMMs. The highest CO2/N2 selectivity could reach to 120.3, along with the CO2 permeability of 130.6 Barrer for the MMMs made by MMT content of 6%.

description: Generics-products in plain packages whose stark labels read "GRAPE JELLY,'' ''P APER TOWELS,'' or "SHORTENING"-have steadily grown in number on supermarket shelves since being introduced to U.S. consumers in 1977. Sales of generic products have expanded while breaking all the rules of successful branded food marketing: extensive advertising, enticing packaging, and a manufacturer's or retailer's logo. How have generics done it? Their appeal is price. Generic products are usually priced 15 to 40 percent below the private label (store brand) and branded competition. The phenomenal success of these no-frills alternatives has shaken up their product markets.

description: Rice cultivation under flooded conditions usually leads to a high accumulation of arsenic (As) in grains. Sulphur and iron played vital roles in affecting the bioavailability of As in the soil-rice system. Herein, using pot experiments, we investigated the effects of persulphate (PS) and ferrous (Fe2+) on the transfer and accumulation of As in the soil-rice system under flooded conditions. The concentration of As and Fe in soil porewater declined with continuous flooding. Persulphate/ferrous addition significantly inhibited the formation of iron plaque and the transfer of As to the aboveground tissues of rice. The total As, dimethylarsinicacid (DMA), As (III), and As (V) in grains significantly decreased by 49∼75%, 60∼89%, 20∼24%, and 35∼36%, respectively, by persulphate/ferrous application. Furthermore, a decrease of As in husk, leaf, and, stem was also found in persulphate and ferrous treatment. To some degree, the Fe2+ can facilitate the decreased efficiency of As accumulation and translocation in rice tissue. The present study’s results demonstrated that applying persulphate/Fe2+ could effectively alleviate the excessive accumulation of As in rice grains in the soil-rice system under flooding conditions.

description: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) waves are known to induce localized heat to a targeted area during medical treatments. In turn, the rise in temperature influences their speed of propagation. This coupling affects the position of the focal region as well as the achieved pressure and temperature values. In this work, we investigate a mathematical model of nonlinear ultrasonic heating based on the Westervelt wave equation coupled to the Pennes bioheat equation that captures this so-called thermal lensing effect. We prove that this quasi-linear model is well-posed locally in time and does not degenerate under a smallness assumption on the pressure data.

The key assumptions behind these results are a nonequilibrium version of Onsager's regression hypothesis, together with certain hypotheses of chaoticity and local equilibrium for hydrodynamical fluctuations.

title: The effects of day length and ambient temperature on the growth and structure of adipose tissue and other organs in the dwarf hamster P. campbelli
Creators: name: Sadler, Dawn Angela
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: The effects of photoperiod and ambient temperature on body mass and composition were studied in Phodopus campbelli.

 Adult hamsters were studied for 102 d around the mid-winter solstice (1991-1994), under four different combinations of photoperiod and environmental temperature, 24 °C 16 h light/8 h dark, WLD ('simulated summer'), 24 °C (8 h light/16 h dark, WSD, cold 10 °C 16 h light/8 h dark, CLD, 10 °C 8 h light/16 h dark, CSD ('simulated winter'). Specimens were caged individually, with rat chow and water available ad lib.

 Body mass and food intake were measured weekly. At the end of the experimental period, the mass and composition of 15 adipose depots, mass of the major organs, the colour, extractable lipid and hair length of the pelt were measured.

 Females ate relatively more food than their male counterparts. Hamsters on CLD ate the most, followed by CSD hamsters, those on WSD and WLD ate significantly less. Males on short photoperiod lost most weight, due mainly to depletion of adipose tissue. In both long day environments, the males maintained their body mass. Maximum decrease in lipid content and increase in protein content occurred in the adipose tissue of hamsters on CSD, especially in brown adipose tissue. The pelt became light grey in 'winter', probably the best camouflage for an arid climate. Changes in extractable lipid may be related to insulation: the sparser the hairs, the more lipid recovered from them.

 I conclude that photoperiod was the dominant influence on body size and lipid stores, but temperature interacted to affect many of the features studied. The hamsters' appetite adjusted to maintain body mass and composition. Photoperiod is the more reliable cue than weather for wild Phodopus for the physiological adaptations required for surviving in the cold Mongolian desert.

description: According to a recent proposal, the so-called Barbero-Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity can be fixed, using Bohr's correspondence principle, from a knowledge of highly-damped black hole oscillation frequencies. Such frequencies are rather difficult to compute, even for Schwarzschild black holes. However, it is now quite likely that they may provide a fundamental link between classical general relativity and quantum theories of gravity. Here we carry out the first numerical computation of very highly damped quasinormal modes (QNM's) for charged and rotating black holes. In the Reissner-Nordström case QNM frequencies and damping times show an oscillatory behaviour as a function of charge. The oscillations become faster as the mode order increases. At fixed mode order, QNM's describe spirals in the complex plane as the charge is increased, tending towards a well defined limit as the hole becomes extremal. Kerr QNM's have a similar oscillatory behaviour when the angular index $m=0$. For $l=m=2$ the real part of Kerr QNM frequencies tends to $2Ω$, $Ω$ being the angular velocity of the black hole horizon, while the asymptotic spacing of the imaginary parts is given by $2πT_H$.

Estimation of System Parameters and Predicting the Flow Function from Time Series of Continuous Dynamical Systems

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We introduce a simple method to estimate the system parameters in continuous dynamical systems from the time series. In this method, we construct a modified system by introducing some constants (controlling constants) into the given (original) system. Then the system parameters and the controlling constants are determined by solving a set of nonlinear simultaneous algebraic equations obtained from the relation connecting original and modified systems. Finally, the method is extended to find the form of the evolution equation of the system itself. The major advantage of the method is that it needs only a minimal number of time series data and is applicable to dynamical systems of any dimension. The method also works extremely well even in the presence of noise in the time series. This method is illustrated for the case of Lorenz system.

description: In F-theory, if a fiber type of an elliptic fibration involves a condition that requires an exceptional curve to split into two irreducible components, it is called ``split'' or ``non-split'' type depending on whether it is globally possible or not. In the latter case, the gauge symmetry is reduced to a non-simply-laced Lie algebra due to monodromy. We show that this split/non-split transition is, except for a special class of models, a conifold transition from the resolved to the deformed side, associated with the conifold singularities emerging where the codimension-one singularity is enhanced to $D_{2k+2}$ $(k \geq 1)$ or $E_7$. We also examine how the previous proposal for the origin of non-local matter can be actually implemented in our blow-up analysis.

description: In the first part of the paper we prove a bi-parameter version of a well known multilinear theorem of Coifman and Meyer. As a consequence, we generalize the Kato-Ponce inequality in nonlinear PDE, obtaining a fractional Leibnitz rule for derivatives in the $x_1$ and $x_2$ directions simultaneously. Then, we show that the double bilinear Hilbert transform does not satisfy any $L^p$ estimates.

description: Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is considered as a hope for bioplastic production, which can serve as a sustainable alternative. Utilizing feedstock as substrate is widely explored for the production but wood waste, which is abundant in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignocellulose, has limited studies for PHB production. Herein, wood waste is used as a biobased feedstock Hydrolyses of wood waste was done using sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to break down of cellulose and hemicellulose into simple carbon forms. The hydrolysed product was analysed for sugar presence by quantitative and qualitative methods. Pseudomonas fluorescens bacterial strain was used for the production purpose using hydrolysed wood waste as substrate media. The Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied to optimize the growth media. The results of PBD were used to identify significant factors influencing PHB production, which were then further optimized using RSM. The work’s results conclusively demonstrated that P. fluorescens possesses the capability to effectively utilize wood waste and wastewater as substrate media up to production rate of 13–14 mg mL−1 of PHB. Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopic peaks confirm the produced product is PHB, which is a type of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), classified within the polyester family highlighting wood waste potential as a sustainable solution to address plastic pollution.

description: In gravitational theories with extra dimensions, it is argued that the existence of a positive vacuum energy generically implies catastrophic instability of our four-dimensional world. The most generic instability is a decompactification transition to growth of the extra dimensions, although other equally bad transitions may take place. This follows from simple considerations based on the form of the potential for the size modulus of the extra dimensions, and apparently offers a resolution of the conundrums presented by eternal de Sitter space. This argument is illustrated in the context of string theory with a general discussion of potentials generated by fluxes, wrapped branes, and stringy corrections. Moreover, it is unlikely that the present acceleration of the Universe represents an ongoing transition in a quintessence scenario rolling towards decompactification, unless the higher dimensional theory has a cosmological constant.

description: Landfill leachates containing high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, due to its strong toxicity, large discharge and great environmental hazard, is in urgent need of efficient cleaning treatment. In this work, Ni1Cu0.25-F/DSA catalytic electrode was prepared via electrodeposition by means of fluorination-induced surface reconstruction. The surface of electrode was determined to be a porous sponge-like structure by physical characterizations. The electrode exhibited a superior ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) activity and stability by a series of electrochemical tests. On this basis, a Ni1Cu0.25-F/DSA || Ni1Cu0.25-F/DSA bifunctional system was developed for efficient removal of ammonia nitrogen in landfill leachate. The results of denitrification experiment indicated that the removal efficiency of NH4+-N and TN were 99.89% and 68.9%, respectively, when the electrolytic cell potential was 1.7 V, pH was 13 and the initial ammonia concentration was 600 mg L−1. The NH4+-N removal efficiency remained above 95% after the cyclic denitrification experiment lasting for 6 days, which validates the robust stability of the electrode.
