description: We report systematic measurements of anomalous Hall effect(AHE) and spin orbit torques(SOT) in MnGa/IrMn films,, in which a single MnGa epitaxial layer reveals obvious orbital two-channel Kondo (2CK) effect. As increasing the thickness of the antiferromagnet IrMn, the strong spin Hall effect(SHE)has gradually suppressed the orbital 2CK effect and modified the AHE of MnGa.A scaling involving multiple competing scattering mechanisms has been used to distinguish different contributions to the modified AHE. Finally, the sizeable SOT in the MnGa/IrMn films induced by the strong SHE of IrMn have been investigated.The IrMn layer also supplies an in-plane exchange bias field and enables nearly field-free magnetization reversal.

description: Hexagonally patterned two-dimensional $p$-type semiconductor systems are quantum simulators of graphene with strong and highly tunable spin-orbit interactions. We show that application of purely in-plane magnetic fields, in combination with the crystallographic anisotropy present in low-symmetry semiconductor interfaces, allows Chern insulating phases to emerge from an originally topologically insulating state after a quantum phase transition. These phases are characterized by pairs of co-propagating edge modes and Hall conductivities $σ_{xy} = +\frac{2 e^2}{h}, -\frac{2 e^2}{h}$ in the absence of Landau levels or cyclotron motion. With current lithographic technology, the Chern insulating transitions are predicted to occur in GaAs heterostructures at magnetic fields of $\sim 5\text{T}$.

description: Understanding the atomic interaction mechanism between chitosan and insulin at different pH levels is essential in the design of chitosan-based drug-delivery systems. In the present study, insulin-loaded nanoparticles were prepared via ionic gelation of tripolyphosphate (TPP) and chitosan with 76 ± 5.5% encapsulation efficiency. Our results showed that the nanoparticles were spherical with a size of 254 nm. Furthermore, the in vitro release profile of insulin was evaluated for two different pH levels. The release of insulin from nanoparticles after 48 h at pH 4.0 was 92%, compared to 56% at pH 7.4. The kinetics of the release were best fitted by the Weibull equation, which described a burst release in the first five hours followed by a sustained insulin release for up to 48 h. Moreover, we designed a long single chain chitosan (128 kDa)/TPP nanoparticles in real size for the first time and studied the system behavior in acidic and neutral environments using molecular dynamic simulation for 40 nanoseconds (ns). Our results showed that chitosan chains opened more with higher root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values at pH 4.0 than at pH 7.4. Also, RMSD plots for insulin and TPP molecules showed that insulin molecules diffused away from chitosan chains, and that TPP were randomly dispersed further away from the chitosan chain in an acidic medium than in a neutral one. The in silico studies were in agreement with our in vitro data. Thus self-assembled chitosan/TPP nanoparticles show promise as a means to release protein drugs in acidic environments.

description: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a global health concern and has been linked to severe neurological pathologies. Although no medication is available yet, many efforts to develop antivirals and host cell binding inhibitors led to attractive drug-like scaffolds, mainly targeting the nonstructural NS2B/NS3 protease (NS2B/NS3pro). NS2B/NS3pro active site has several titratable residues susceptible to pH changes and ligand binding; hence, understanding these residues' protonation is essential to drug design efforts targeting the active site. Here we use in silico methods to probe non-covalent binding and its effect on pKa shifts of the active site residues on a ligand-free protease and with a non-peptidic competitive inhibitor (Ki=13.5 µM). By applying constant pH molecular dynamics, we found that the catalytic residues of the unbound NS2B/NS3pro achieved the protonation needed for the serine protease mechanism over the pH value of 8.5. Nevertheless, the protease in the holo state achieved this same scenario at lower pH values. Also, non-covalent binding affected the catalytic triad (H51, D75, and S135) by stabilizing their distances and interaction network. Thus, NS2B/NS3pro residues configuration for activity might be both pH-dependent and influenced by ligand binding. However, compound presence within the binding site destabilized the NS2B, interfering with the closed and active conformation necessary for substrate binding and catalysis. Our outcomes provide valuable insights into non-covalent inhibitor behavior and its effect on protease active site residues, impacting optimization and design of novel compounds.

description: The momentum UV cutoff in Quantum Field Theory is usually treated as an auxiliary device allowing to obtain finite amplitudes satisfying all physical requirements. It is even absent (not explicit) in the most popular approach - the dimensional regularization. We point out that the momentum cutoff treated as a bona fide physical scale, presumably equal or related to the Planck scale, would lead to unacceptable predictions. One of the dangers is a non-zero mass of the photon. In the naive approach, even with the cutoff equal to the Planck scale, this mass would grossly exceed the existing experimental bounds. We present the actual calculation using a concrete realization of the physical cutoff and speculate about the way to restore gauge symmetry order by order in the inverse powers of the cutoff scale.

Our calculations show that, contrary to what it has been reported so far, bulk Bi$_2$NiMnO$_6$ does not have a polarization. Instead, like BiMnO$_3$, it crystallizes into a centrosymmetric structure with space group $C2/c$. We also predict that Bi$_2$NiMnO$_6$ will indeed be a ferroelectric ferromagnet if it is grown as an epitaxial film on a substrate with in-plane square symmetry and a lattice constant around 4~Å, such as BaTiO$_3$ or PbZr$_{1-x}$Ti$_{x}$O$_{3}$.

title: Energy dependency, the potential supply of renewable energies and the political responses in Turkey in the decades since the oil-crisis
Creators: name: Akca Prill, Melek
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: The transition to post-fossil future and widespread utilization of renewable energy technologies have become inevitable across the globe, not only due to limited amount of fossil energy sources, but also the impacts of human-dominated activities on the planet Earth. Turkey, is one of the countries, having scant amount of fossil energy, but rich in various renewable sources with the sufficient capacity to contribute Turkey’s primary energy goals; such as diminishing energy dependency, increasing supply security and diversification of energy sources. Nevertheless, the country is still highly dependent on natural gas and crude-oil imports to meet its growing energy hunger as a result of economic and demographic expansion as well as the insufficient implementation of the energy efficiency technologies. The rising energy imports and therewith the current account deficit put a big burden on country’s vulnerable economy. Turkish government plans to raise the share of renewable energy sources in electricity production to at least 30% by 2023. The calculations show that geothermal power and biomass-based energy production will achieve the 2023 targets, while solar energy installations remain insufficient in number. Wind- and hydropower with their high potential and adequate number of proposed facilities will contribute to the total electricity generation in considerable amount. The public awareness and social acceptance of utilization renewable energy plants have positive impacts to the gradual development of these plants.

description: The bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is an enzootic agent that affects millions of bovines and causes major economic losses. Though the virus is seasonally reported with a very high morbidity rate (80–100%) from African, Australian, and Asiatic continents, it remains a neglected pathogen in many of its endemic areas, with no proper therapeutic drugs or vaccines presently available for treatment. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) catalyzes the viral RNA synthesis and is an appropriate candidate for antiviral drug developments. We utilized integrated computational tools to build the 3D model of BEFV-RdRp and then predicted its probable active binding sites. The virtual screening and optimization against these active sites, using several small-molecule inhibitors from a different category of Life Chemical database and FDA-approved drugs from the ZINC database, was performed. We found nine molecules that have docking scores varying between −6.84 to −10.43 kcal/mol. Furthermore, these complexes were analyzed for their conformational dynamics and thermodynamic stability using molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with the molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) scheme. The binding free energy calculations depict that the electrostatic interactions play a dominant role in the RdRp-inhibitor binding. The hot spot residues, such as Arg565, Asp631, Glu633, Asp740, and Glu707, were found to control the RdRp-inhibitor interaction. The ADMET analysis strongly suggests favorable pharmacokinetics of these compounds that may prove useful for treating the BEFV ailment. Overall, we anticipate that these findings would help explore and develop a wide range of anti-BEFV therapy. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We report a detail theoretical study of the electronic structure and phase stability of transition metal oxides MnO, FeO, CoO, and NiO in their paramagnetic cubic B1 structure by employing dynamical mean-field theory of correlated electrons combined with \emph{ab initio} band structure methods (DFT+DMFT). Our calculations reveal that under pressure these materials exhibit a Mott insulator-metal transition (IMT) which is accompanied by a simultaneous collapse of local magnetic moments and lattice volume, implying a complex interplay between chemical bonding and electronic correlations. Moreover, our results for the transition pressure show a monotonous decrease from ~ 145 GPa to 40 GPa, upon moving from MnO to CoO. In contrast to that, in NiO, magnetic collapse is found to occur at remarkably higher pressure of ~ 429 GPa. We provide a unified picture of such a behavior and suggest that it is primary a localized to itinerant moment behavior transition at the IMT that gives rise to magnetic collapse in transition metal oxides.

description: A comprehensive understanding of the aggregation mechanism in amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) peptide is imperative for developing therapeutic drugs to prevent or treat Alzheimer’s disease. Because of the high flexibility and lack of native tertiary structures of Aβ42, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations may help elucidate the peptide’s dynamics with atomic details and collectively improve ensembles not seen in experiments. We applied microsecond-timescale MD simulations to investigate the dynamics and conformational changes of Aβ42 by using a newly developed Amber force field (ff14IDPSFF). We compared the ff14IDPSFF and the regular ff14SB force field by examining the conformational changes of two distinct Aβ42 monomers in explicit solvent. Conformational ensembles obtained by simulations depend on the force field and initial structure, Aβ42α-helix or Aβ42β-strand. The ff14IDPSFF sampled a high ratio of disordered structures and diverse β-strand secondary structures; in contrast, ff14SB favored helicity during the Aβ42α-helix simulations. The conformations obtained from Aβ42β-strand simulations maintained a balanced content in the disordered and helical structures when simulated by ff14SB, but the conformers clearly favored disordered and β-sheet structures simulated by ff14IDPSFF. The results obtained with ff14IDPSFF qualitatively reproduced the NMR chemical shifts well. In-depth peptide and cluster analysis revealed some characteristic features that may be linked to early onset of the fibril-like structure. The C-terminal region (mainly M35-V40) featured in-registered anti-parallel β-strand (β-hairpin) conformations with tested systems. Our work should expand the knowledge of force field and structure dependency in MD simulations and reveals the underlying structural mechanism–function relationship in Aβ42 peptides.

An Evaluation of Alabama's Chemical Endangerment Law on Infant Health Outcomes
Creators: name: Milne, Mia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Alabama criminalizes pregnant people for drug use more than any other state in the nation under their chemical endangerment of a child statute. However, there have been no empirical studies on the health effects of this law. I addressed this gap by conducting a series of analyses addressing the availability of medication assisted treatment (MAT) since the enactment of the law and the relationship between MAT availability, criminalization of pregnant people, and infant health outcomes between 2006-2020 in Alabama. I found that MAT access increased, but that access to methadone was severely limited by state and local policy. I tested the relationship between MAT availability, criminalization, and infant health outcomes by conducting a series of generalized estimating equation models at the county-level. I found that neither MAT availability nor arrest rates of pregnant people were reliably related to the rate of low birthweight infants or infant mortality. One potential cause for the lack of significant relationships in analyses could be due to the strong skew in county enforcement of the law where only four counties accounted for over 80% of cases in the state. Further research needs to focus on these high enforcement counties. Overall, I had a difficult time studying criminalization and health trends in Alabama due to the lack of public health resources in the state, difficulty in obtaining data from small counties, and poor quality of health-related data, especially pregnancy-associated mortality rates. Currently, there is no way to properly assess the impact of the chemical endangerment law with the available data. Addressing the need for high quality data is important both to inform Alabama policy and other states due to the rise in pregnancy criminalization policies.
Methods for improving estimators of truncated circular parameters

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: In decision theoretic estimation of parameters in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^p$, the action space is chosen to be the convex closure of the estimand space. In this paper, the concept has been extended to the estimation of circular parameters of distributions having support as a circle, torus or cylinder. As directional distributions are of curved nature, existing methods for distributions with parameters taking values in $\mathbb{R}^p$ are not immediately applicable here. A circle is the simplest one-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We employ concepts of convexity, projection, etc., on manifolds to develop sufficient conditions for inadmissibility of estimators for circular parameters. Further invariance under a compact group of transformations is introduced in the estimation problem and a complete class theorem for equivariant estimators is derived. This extends the results of Moors [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 76 (1981) 910-915] on $\mathbb{R}^p$ to circles. The findings are of special interest to the case when a circular parameter is truncated. The results are implemented to a wide range of directional distributions to obtain improved estimators of circular parameters.

description: Any possible Lorentz violation in the hadron sector must be tied to Lorentz violation at the underlying quark level. The relationships between the theories at these two levels are studied using chiral perturbation theory. Starting from a two-flavor quark theory that includes dimension-four Lorentz-violation operators, the effective Lagrangians are derived for both pions and nucleons, with novel terms appearing in both sectors. Since the Lorentz violation coefficients for nucleons and pions are all related to a single set of underlying quark coefficients, it is possible to place approximate bounds on pion Lorentz violation using only proton and neutron observations. The resulting bounds on four pion parameters are at the $10^{-23}$ level, representing improvements of ten orders of magnitude.

Effects of Childhood Trauma on the Psychological Distress of Black Homeless Youth: The Moderating Role of Social Support
Creators: name: Edwards Doh, Tiffany
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Youth homelessness is a growing issue in the United States. Black homeless youth are a unique subgroup to be studied because these youth must simultaneously manage stressors that accompany racial minority and homeless statuses during critical stages of development. Using data from the Atlanta Youth Count Needs Assessment, this thesis explores the impact of childhood trauma on psychological distress of Black homeless youth (N=556). In addition, this thesis examines whether the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress is conditioned by the level of social support reported by Black homeless youth. Results show that childhood trauma experienced by Black homeless youth is associated with higher levels of psychological distress. Although greater social support is linked to lower levels of psychological distress, social support does not moderate the link between childhood trauma and psychological distress. These findings are intended to inform health policy and resource options for Black homeless youth.

description: In this paper, I argue that green bonds point to an emergent process in which environmental thought is metabolized by financial engines. Through a semiotic analysis of this debt instrument, I look at how dominant capitalist institutions like the World Bank and JP Morgan are attempting to address climate change, and where they are falling short. Complicating narratives of good and evil, I demonstrate that outcomes of green bond issuance are widely variable -- that sometimes they accomplish what nothing else can, while simultaneously stymying necessary transformations. By tracing these oppositional tendencies, I find that green bonds reveal new contradictions in the dynamics of financial capitalism.
Cosmological Forecasts for Combined and Next Generation Peculiar Velocity Surveys

description: Peculiar velocity surveys present a very promising route to measuring the growth rate of large-scale structure and its scale dependence. However, individual peculiar velocity surveys suffer from large statistical errors due to the intrinsic scatter in the relations used to infer a galaxy's true distance. In this context we use a Fisher Matrix formalism to investigate the statistical benefits of combining multiple peculiar velocity surveys. We find that for all cases we consider there is a marked improvement on constraints on the linear growth rate $fσ_{8}$. For example, the constraining power of only a few peculiar velocity measurements is such that the addition of the 2MASS Tully-Fisher survey (containing only $\sim2,000$ galaxies) to the full redshift and peculiar velocity samples of the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey (containing $\sim 110,000$ redshifts and $\sim 9,000$ velocities) can improve growth rate constraints by $\sim20\%$. Furthermore, the combination of the future TAIPAN and WALLABY+WNSHS surveys has the potential to reach a $\sim3\%$ error on $fσ_{8}$, which will place tight limits on possible extensions to General Relativity. We then turn to look at potential systematics in growth rate measurements that can arise due to incorrect calibration of the peculiar velocity zero-point and from scale-dependent spatial and velocity bias. For next generation surveys, we find that neglecting velocity bias in particular has the potential to bias constraints on the growth rate by over $5σ$, but that an offset in the zero-point has negligible impact on the velocity power spectrum.

description: Deficits during gait poses a significant threat to the quality of life in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Using the muscle synergy concept, we investigated the modular organization of the neuromuscular control during walking in MS patients compared to healthy participants (HP). We hypothesized a widening and increased fuzziness of motor primitives (e.g. increased overlap intervals) in MS patients compared to HP allowing the motor system to increase robustness during walking. We analysed temporal gait parameters, local dynamic stability and muscle synergies from myoelectric signals of 13 ipsilateral leg muscles using non-negative matrix factorization. Compared to HP, MS patients showed a significant decrease in the local dynamic stability of walking during both, preferred and fixed (0.7 m/s) speed. MS patients demonstrated changes in time-dependent activation patterns (motor primitives) and alterations of the relative muscle contribution to the specific synergies (motor modules). We specifically found a widening in three out of four motor primitives during preferred speed and in two out of four during fixed speed in MS patients compared to HP. The widening increased the fuzziness of motor control in MS patients, which allows the motor system to increase its robustness when coping with pathology-related motor deficits during walking.

In 1972 U.S. State and Federal Prisons reported approximately 200,000 individuals in custody. Less than a decade later, rates skyrocketed to 315,974 people under carceral control. Broadly, researchers examine the consequences of the War on Drugs on incarceration, collateral impacts on family, post-incarceration, and state actors working in carceral facilities. Fewer studies investigate policies existing within carceral facilities. At present, no research examines rules and regulations impacting Black Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) folx. This research addresses that gap. Findings suggest carceral facilities control sexuality by reinforcing compulsory heterosexuality resulting in adverse impacts on Black TGNC folx. I contend due to disproportionate numbers of Black and Brown bodies in carceral facilities, a racialized carceral de-sexualism for Black TGNC folx is constructed and reinforced by the state. Ultimately, my hope is this research influences much-needed mass incarceration policy reform and illustrates the increasing need for conversations about prison abolition within academia.

description: The experimental study of the second-order interference with fermions is much less than the one with bosons since it is much more difficult to do experiments with fermions than with photons. Based on the conclusion that the behavior of two identical classical particles has exactly half fermionic and half bosonic characteristics (PRA \textbf{88}, 012130 (2013)), we have studied the second-order interference of fermions via the second-order interference of photons in Hanbury Brown-Twiss and Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometers, respectively. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions, which serve as an efficient guidance for the future interference experiments with fermions. The employed method offers an interesting and convenient way to study the coherence of fermions.

title: Liquid Crystals and the Primitive Equations: An Approach by Maximal Regularity
Creators: name: Wrona, Marc
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: The two models we are considering in this work relate to the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of a viscous fluid. The first of these two models is the Beris–Edwards model of nematic liquid crystals, which couples the Navier-Stokes equations with a parabolic equation for the molecular orientation described by the Q-tensor. The second topic we are investigating is the primitive equations equations for atmospheric and oceanic flows, which are derived from the Navier–Stokes equations by the hydrostatic approximation.

description: Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, a Gram-negative bacterium described over a century ago. Despite broad vaccine coverage and treatment options, the disease is remerging as a public health problem especially in infants and older children. Recent data indicate re-emergence of the disease is related to bacterial resistance to immune defences and decreased vaccine effectiveness, which obviously suggests the need of new effective vaccines and drugs. In an attempt to contribute with solutions to this great challenge, bioinformatics tools were used to genetically comprehend the species of these bacteria and predict new vaccines and drug targets. In fact, approaches were used to analysis genomic plasticity, gene synteny and species similarities between the 20 genomes of Bordetella pertussis already available. Furthermore, it was conducted reverse vaccinology and docking analysis to identify proteins with potential to become vaccine and drug targets, respectively. The analyses showed the 20 genomes belongs to a homogeneous group that has preserved most of the genes over time. Besides that, were found genomics islands and good proteins to be candidates for vaccine and drugs. Taken together, these results suggests new possibilities that may be useful to develop new vaccines and drugs that will help the prevention and treatment strategies of pertussis disease caused by these Bordetella strains.

description: Das Ziel der Jahresabschlussprüfung liegt in der Abgabe eines hinreichend sicheren Urteils über die Verlässlichkeit und damit die Ordnungsmäßigkeit des Jahresabschlusses unter Beachtung des Grundsatzes der Wirtschaftlichkeit. Infolge des aus der Digitalisierung resultierenden Anstiegs der jährlichen Geschäftsvorfälle sowie der wachsenden Komplexität der IT-Systemlandschaften auf der Mandantenseite sehen sich Abschlussprüfer zunehmend einer enormen Datenflut ausgesetzt und die Erreichung dieses Ziels wird entsprechend schwieriger. Die vorliegende Untersuchung zielt auf die Identifikation von für die Abschlussprüfung relevanten Datenanalyse-Tools sowie des derzeitigen Anwendungsausmaßes dieser ab. Weiterhin werden die wesentlichen Ursachen für eben dieses Anwendungsausmaß aufgezeigt und Handlungsempfehlungen für eine erfolgreiche Integration in den Abschlussprüfungsprozess abgeleitet.

description: Magnetic induction can be regarded as a negative feedback effect, where the motive-force opposes the change of magnetic flux that generates the motive-force. In artificial electromagnetics emerging from spintronics, however, this is not necessarily the case. By studying the current-induced domain wall dynamics in a cylindrical nanowire, we show that the spin motive-force exerting on electrons can either oppose or support the applied current that drives the domain wall. The switching into the anomalous feedback regime occurs when the strength of the dissipative torque β is about twice the value of the Gilbert damping constant α. The anomalous feedback manifests as a negative domain wall resistance, which has an analogy with the water turbine.

description: c-MYC is deregulated in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) pointing to be a promising biomarker for breast cancer treatment. Precise level of MYC expression is important in the control of cellular growth and proliferation. Designing of c-MYC-targeted antidotes to restore its basal level of cellular expression holds an optimistic approach towards anti-cancer treatment. MYC transcription is dominantly controlled by Nuclear Hypersensitive Element III-1 (NHEIII1) upstream of the promoter region possessing G-Quadruplex silencer element (Pu-27). We have investigated the selective binding-interaction profile of a natural phytophenolic compound Curcumin with native MYC G-quadruplex by conducting an array of biophysical experiments and in silico based Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic (MDs) simulation studies. Curcumin possesses immense anti-cancerous properties. We have observed significantly increased stability of MYC-G Quadruplex and thermodynamic spontaneity of Curcumin-MYC GQ binding with negative ΔG value. Transcription of MYC is tightly regulated by a complex mechanism involving promoters, enhancers and multiple transcription factors. We have used Curcumin as a model drug to understand the innate mechanism of controlling deregulated MYC back to its basal expression level. We have checked MYC-expression at transcriptional and translational level and proceeded for Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation assay (ChIP) to study the occupancy level of SP1, Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK), Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase 2 (NM23-H2) and Nucleolin at NHEIII1 upon Curcumin treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells. We have concluded that Curcumin binding tends to drive the equilibrium towards stable G-quadruplex formation repressing MYC back to its threshold-level. On retrospection of the synergistic effect of upregulated c-MYC and BCL-2 in cancer, we have also reported a new pathway [MYC-E2F-1-BCL-2-axis] through which Curcumin trigger apoptosis in cancer cells.
