description: The SDSS-III APOGEE DR12 is a unique resource to search for stars beyond the tidal radii of star clusters. We have examined the APOGEE DR12 database for new candidates of the young star cluster Palomar 1, a system with previously reported tidal tails (Niederste-Ostholt et al. 2010). The APOGEE ASPCAP database includes spectra and stellar parameters for two known members of Pal 1 (Stars I and II), however these do not agree with the stellar parameters determined from optical spectra by Sakari et al. (2011). We find that the APOGEE analysis of these two stars is strongly affected by the known persistence problem (Majewski et al. 2015; Nidever et al. 2015). By re-examining the individual visits, and removing the blue (and sometimes green) APOGEE detector spectra affected by persistence, then we find excellent agreement in a re-analysis of the combined spectra. These methods are applied to another five stars in the APOGEE field with similar radial velocities and metallicities as those of Pal 1. Only one of these new candidates, Star F, may be a member located in the tidal tail based on its heliocentric radial velocity, metallicity, and chemistry. The other four candidates are not well aligned with the tidal tails, and comparison to the Besancon model (Robin et al. 2003) suggests that they are more likely to be non-members, i.e. part of the Galactic halo. This APOGEE field could be re-examined for other new candidates if the persistence problem can be removed from the APOGEE spectral database.

description: We study the scrambling of local quantum information in chaotic many-body systems in the presence of a locally conserved quantity like charge or energy that moves diffusively. The interplay between conservation laws and scrambling sheds light on the mechanism by which unitary quantum dynamics, which is reversible, gives rise to diffusive hydrodynamics, which is a dissipative process. We obtain our results in a random quantum circuit model that is constrained to have a conservation law. We find that a generic spreading operator consists of two parts: (i) a conserved part which comprises the weight of the spreading operator on the local conserved densities, whose dynamics is described by diffusive charge spreading. This conserved part also acts as a source that steadily emits a flux of (ii) non-conserved operators. This emission leads to dissipation in the operator hydrodynamics, with the dissipative process being the conversion of operator weight from local conserved operators to nonconserved, at a rate set by the local diffusion current. The emitted nonconserved parts then spread ballistically at a butterfly speed, thus becoming highly nonlocal and hence essentially non-observable, thereby acting as the "reservoir" that facilitates the dissipation. In addition, we find that the nonconserved component develops a power law tail behind its leading ballistic front due to the slow dynamics of the conserved components. This implies that the out-of-time-order commutator (OTOC) between two initially separated operators grows sharply upon the arrival of the ballistic front but, in contrast to systems with no conservation laws, it develops a diffusive tail and approaches its asymptotic late-time value only as a power of time instead of exponentially. We also derive these results within an effective hydrodynamic description which contains multiple coupled diffusion equations.

description: The study of stellar-remnant black holes (BH) in dense stellar clusters is now in the spotlight, especially due to their intrinsic ability to form binary black holes (BBH) through dynamical encounters, that potentially coalesce via gravitational-wave (GW) radiation. In this work, which is a continuation of a recent study (Paper I), additional models of compact stellar clusters with initial masses $\lesssim10^5M_\odot$ and also those with small fractions of primordial binaries ($\lesssim10$%) are evolved for long term, applying the direct N-body approach, assuming state-of-the-art stellar-wind and remnant-formation prescriptions. That way, a substantially broader range of computed models than that in Paper I is achieved. As in Paper I, the general-relativistic BBH mergers continue to be mostly mediated by triples that are bound to the clusters rather than happen among the ejected BBHs. In fact, the number of such in situ BBH mergers, per cluster, tend to increase significantly with the introduction of a small population of primordial binaries. Despite the presence of massive primordial binaries, the merging BBHs, especially the in situ ones, are found to be exclusively dynamically assembled and hence would be spin-orbit misaligned. The BBHs typically traverse through both the LISA's and the LIGO's detection bands, being audible to both instruments. The "dynamical heating" of the BHs keeps the Electron-Capture-Supernova (ECS) neutron stars (NS) from effectively mass segregating and participating in exchange interactions; the dynamically-active BHs would also exchange into any NS binary within $\lesssim1$ Gyr. Such young massive and open clusters have the potential to contribute to the dynamical BBH merger detection rate to a similar extent as their more massive globular-cluster counterparts.

Applications of Gold Catalysis for the Synthesis of Carbocycles

description: Terpenoid natural products are important synthetic targets due to their abundance and broad range of physiological activity. Herein, we report a method taking advantage of the divergent nature of gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization reactions to reach a range of complex polycycles. Gold(I) complexes have been investigated to selectively modulate the regioselectivity of the cyclization reaction of a silyl enol ether onto a tethered alkyne. The resulting vinyl gold intermediates can then undergo a Prins-type cyclization or protodeauration. The diene generated from the 6-endo-dig cyclization/ protodeauration can react in a subsequent Diels-Alder reaction, forming tri and tetracyclic products. Overall, three efficient one-pot sequences were developed to selectively synthesize carbocycles from a common starting material. In addition, investigations into gold photoredox using dimeric catalyst [Au2[μ-dppm]2]X2 were also carried out for the synthesis of cyclic molecules.

description: We outline a systematic procedure to obtain horizonless microstate geometries that have the same charges as three-charge five-dimensional black holes with a macroscopically-large horizon area and an arbitrarily-small angular momentum. There are two routes through which such solutions can be constructed: using multi-center Gibbons-Hawking (GH) spaces or using superstratum technology. So far the only solutions corresponding to microstate geometries for black holes with no angular momentum have been obtained via superstrata, and multi-center Gibbons-Hawking spaces have been believed to give rise only to microstate geometries of BMPV black holes with a large angular momentum. We perform a thorough search throughout the parameter space of smooth horizonless solutions with four GH centers and find that these have an angular momentum that is generally larger than 80% of the cosmic censorship bound. However, we find that solutions with three GH centers and one supertube (which are smooth in six-dimensional supergravity) can have an arbitrarily-low angular momentum. Our construction thus gives a recipe to build large classes of microstate geometries for zero-angular-momentum black holes without resorting to superstratum technology.

description: The multifractal theory of turbulence uses a saddle-point evaluation in determining the power-law behaviour of structure functions. Without suitable precautions, this could lead to the presence of logarithmic corrections, thereby violating known exact relations such as the four-fifths law. Using the theory of large deviations applied to the random multiplicative model of turbulence and calculating subdominant terms, we explain here why such corrections cannot be present.

description: We propose Subsampling MCMC, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework where the likelihood function for n observations is estimated from a random subset of m observations. We introduce a highly efficient unbiased estimator of the log-likelihood based on control variates, such that the computing cost is much smaller than that of the full log-likelihood in standard MCMC. The likelihood estimate is bias-corrected and used in two dependent pseudo-marginal algorithms to sample from a perturbed posterior, for which we derive the asymptotic error with respect to n and m, respectively. We propose a practical estimator of the error and show that the error is negligible even for a very small m in our applications. We demonstrate that Subsampling MCMC is substantially more efficient than standard MCMC in terms of sampling efficiency for a given computational budget, and that it outperforms other subsampling methods for MCMC proposed in the literature.
The Effects of Low-Dose Methylmercury Exposure in Regulating Murine Embryonic Neural Precursor Development

Subjects: Methylmercury

description: Methylmercury (MeHg) is a global pollutant that affects millions of people worldwide. It is known to be neurotoxic, particularly during fetal development. Numerous cohort studies have shown correlations between impaired cognitive development and prenatal exposure to methylmercury by fish intake during pregnancy. However, the mechanisms responsible for MeHg-induced changes in adult neuronal function, when their exposure occurred primarily during fetal development, are not yet understood. We hypothesize that fetal MeHg exposure could affect neural precursor development leading to long-term neurotoxic effects. In this project, we exposed mouse primary cortical precursors in vitro to a range of methylmercury doses at nano- and subnano-molar level and examine the effect they have on embryonic neural precursor development. We observed that cortical precursor exposed to 0.25 nM MeHg showed increased neuronal differentiation, while its proliferation was inhibited. Reduced neuronal differentiation, however, was observed in the higher dose groups. RT-qPCR results also revealed that cell reprogramming was taking place for the cortical precursors exposed to 5nM MeHg treatment. Our results suggest that sub-nanomolar MeHg exposure may deplete the pool of neural precursors by increasing premature neuronal differentiation, which can lead to long-term neurological effects in adulthood as opposed to the higher MeHg doses that cause more immediate toxicity during infant development.

description: Objective: Evaluating the biofidelity of pedestrian finite element models (PFEM) using postmortem human subjects (PMHS) is a challenge because differences in anthropometry between PMHS and PFEM could limit a model's capability to accurately capture cadaveric responses. Geometrical personalization via morphing can modify the PFEM geometry to match the specific PMHS anthropometry, which could alleviate this issue. In this study, the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) PFEM (Ver 4.01) was compared to the cadaveric response in vehicle–pedestrian impacts using geometrically personalized models. Methods: The AM50 THUMS PFEM was used as the baseline model, and 2 morphed PFEM were created to the anthropometric specifications of 2 obese PMHS used in a previous pedestrian impact study with a mid-size sedan. The same measurements as those obtained during the PMHS tests were calculated from the simulations (kinematics, accelerations, strains), and biofidelity metrics based on signals correlation (correlation and analysis, CORA) were established to compare the response of the models to the experiments. Injury outcomes were predicted deterministically (through strain-based threshold) and probabilistically (with injury risk functions) and compared with the injuries reported in the necropsy. Results: The baseline model could not accurately capture all aspects of the PMHS kinematics, strain, and injury risks, whereas the morphed models reproduced biofidelic response in terms of trajectory (CORA score = 0.927 ± 0.092), velocities (0.975 ± 0.027), accelerations (0.862 ± 0.072), and strains (0.707 ± 0.143). The personalized THUMS models also generally predicted injuries consistent with those identified during posttest autopsy. Conclusions: The study highlights the need to control for pedestrian anthropometry when validating pedestrian human body models against PMHS data. The information provided in the current study could be useful for improving model biofidelity for vehicle–pedestrian impact scenarios.

description: The recent phenomenal interest in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) must have made it inevitable for the super-resolution (SR) community to explore its potential. The response has been immense and in the last three years, since the advent of the pioneering work, there appeared too many works not to warrant a comprehensive survey. This paper surveys the SR literature in the context of deep learning. We focus on the three important aspects of multimedia - namely image, video and multi-dimensions, especially depth maps. In each case, first relevant benchmarks are introduced in the form of datasets and state of the art SR methods, excluding deep learning. Next is a detailed analysis of the individual works, each including a short description of the method and a critique of the results with special reference to the benchmarking done. This is followed by minimum overall benchmarking in the form of comparison on some common dataset, while relying on the results reported in various works.

description: A critical challenge in the observation of the redshifted 21-cm line is its separation from bright Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds. In particular, the instrumental leakage of polarized foregrounds, which undergo significant Faraday rotation as they propagate through the interstellar medium, may harmfully contaminate the 21-cm power spectrum. We develop a formalism to describe the leakage due to instrumental widefield effects in visibility-based power spectra measured with redundant arrays, extending the delay-spectrum approach presented in Parsons et al. (2012). We construct polarized sky models and propagate them through the instrument model to simulate realistic full-sky observations with the Precision Array to Probe the Epoch of Reionization. We find that the leakage due to a population of polarized point sources is expected to be higher than diffuse Galactic polarization at any $k$ mode for a 30~m reference baseline. For the same reference baseline, a foreground-free window at $k > 0.3 \, h$~Mpc$^{-1}$ can be defined in terms of leakage from diffuse Galactic polarization even under the most pessimistic assumptions. If measurements of polarized foreground power spectra or a model of polarized foregrounds are given, our method is able to predict the polarization leakage in actual 21-cm observations, potentially enabling its statistical subtraction from the measured 21-cm power spectrum.

description: We show that the classical model of Euler top (freely rotating, generally asymmetric rigid body), possibly supplemented with a rotor, corresponds to a generalized Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model describing phenomena of various branches of quantum physics. Classical effects such as free precession of a symmetric top, Feynman's wobbling plate, tennis-racket instability and the Dzhanibekov effect, attitude control of satellites by momentum wheels, or twisting somersault dynamics, have their counterparts in quantum effects that include spin squeezing by one-axis twisting and two-axis countertwisting, transitions between the Josephson and Rabi regimes of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential, and other quantum critical phenomena. The parallels enable us to expand the range of explored quantum phase transitions in the generalized LMG model, as well as to present a classical analogy of the recently proposed LMG Floquet time crystal.

description: We investigate the fluctuation of the top location of a sandpile numerically using the two-dimensional discrete elements method. We feed particles to a sandpile at a fixed time interval and calculate power spectra from the time series of the top location. We find that the power spectra are approximated as power functions, and their exponents increase to -1 through a plateau as the time interval decreases. For small time interval, avalanches occur continuously either on the left or right side slope of a sandpile, and the slope on which avalanches take place switches intermittently. The long time fluctuation of the top location corresponds to the switchings. For the time series of the switchings, we discuss the relation between the power spectrum and the distribution of waiting times based on analytic theories.

description: We report on an all-optical switch that operates at low light levels. It consists of laser beams counterpropagating through a warm rubidium vapor that induce an off-axis optical pattern. A switching laser beam causes this pattern to rotate even when the power in the switching beam is much lower than the power in the pattern. The observed switching energy density is very low, suggesting that the switch might operate at the single-photon level with system optimization. This approach opens the possibility of realizing a single-photon switch for quantum information networks and for improving transparent optical telecommunication networks.

description: Biological neurons receive multiple noisy oscillatory signals, and their dynamical response to the superposition of these signals is of fundamental importance for information processing in the brain. Here we study the response of neural systems to the weak envelope modulation signal, which is superimposed by two periodic signals with different frequencies. We show that stochastic resonance occurs at the beat frequency in neural systems at the single-neuron as well as the population level. The performance of this frequency-difference-dependent stochastic resonance is influenced by both the beat frequency and the two forcing frequencies. Compared to a single neuron, a population of neurons is more efficient in detecting the information carried by the weak envelope modulation signal at the beat frequency. Furthermore, an appropriate fine-tuning of the excitation-inhibition balance can further optimize the response of a neural ensemble to the superimposed signal. Our results thus introduce and provide insights into the generation and modulation mechanism of the frequency-difference-dependent stochastic resonance in neural systems.

description: For most discretisations of the $ϕ^4$ theory, the stationary kink can only be centered either on a lattice site or midway between two adjacent sites. We search for exceptional discretisations which allow stationary kinks to be centered anywhere between the sites. We show that this translational invariance of the kink implies the existence of an underlying one-dimensional map $ϕ_{n+1}=F(ϕ_n)$. A simple algorithm based on this observation generates three different families of exceptional discretisations.

description: We investigate the existence and stability of three-dimensional (3D) solitons supported by cylindrical Bessel lattices (BLs) in self-focusing media. If the lattice strength exceeds a threshold value, we show numerically, and using the variational approximation, that the solitons are stable within one or two intervals of values of their norm. In the latter case, the Hamiltonian-vs.-norm diagram has a "swallowtail" shape, with three cuspidal points. The model applies to Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and to optical media with saturable nonlinearity, suggesting new ways of making stable 3D BEC solitons and "light bullets" of an arbitrary size.

The role of myeloid spleen tyrosine kinase signalling in renal disease

Subjects: classificationCode: 320214
subject: Nephrology and urology

description: My thesis examined the role of spleen tyrosine kinase, or Syk, in kidney disease. Syk is an enzyme found in different types of immune cells, including macrophages that can be important in kidney tissue injury and repair. I therefore studied the effect of Syk blockade or deletion in macrophages in cell culture and different forms of acute and chronic kidney disease, including diabetic kidney disease. This found that Syk may play an important role in kidney macrophage infiltration and scarring, as well as the production of important inflammatory molecules, suggesting Syk may be a potential new target for therapies.

description: We review discoveries in the nonlinear dynamics of curved spacetime, largely made possible by numerical solutions of Einstein's equations. We discuss critical phenomena and self-similarity in gravitational collapse, the behavior of spacetime curvature near singularities, the instability of black strings in 5 spacetime dimensions, and the collision of four-dimensional black holes. We also discuss the prospects for further discoveries in geometrodynamics via observation of gravitational waves.

Uniform approximation of barrier penetration in phase space

description: A method to approximate transmission probabilities for a nonseparable multidimensional barrier is applied to a waveguide model. The method uses complex barrier-crossing orbits to represent reaction probabilities in phase space and is uniform in the sense that it applies at and above a threshold energy at which classical reaction switches on. Above this threshold the geometry of the classically reacting region of phase space is clearly reflected in the quantum representation. Two versions of the approximation are applied. A harmonic version which uses dynamics linearised around an instanton orbit is valid only near threshold but is easy to use. A more accurate and more widely applicable version using nonlinear dynamics is also described.
Powers of Ginibre Eigenvalues

description: We study the images of the complex Ginibre eigenvalues under the power maps $π_M: z \mapsto z^M$, for any integer $M$. We establish the following equality in distribution, $$ {\rm{Gin}}(N)^M \stackrel{d}{=} \bigcup_{k=1}^M {\rm{Gin}} (N,M,k), $$ where the so-called Power-Ginibre distributions ${\rm{Gin}}(N,M,k)$ form $M$ independent determinantal point processes. The decomposition can be extended to any radially symmetric normal matrix ensemble, and generalizes Rains' superposition theorem for the CUE and Kostlan's independence of radii to a wider class of point processes. Our proof technique also allows us to recover a result by Edelman and La Croix for the GUE. Concerning the Power-Ginibre blocks, we prove convergence of fluctuations of their smooth linear statistics to independent gaussian variables, coherent with the link between the complex Ginibre Ensemble and the Gaussian Free Field. Finally, some partial results about two-dimensional beta ensembles with radial symmetry and even parameter $β$ are discussed, replacing independence by conditional independence.

description: A series of novel 4-[(3-substituted)ureido]-N-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) benzenesulfonamides and 4-[(3-substituted)thioureido]-N-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamides were prepared from 4-amino-N-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (sulfamethizole). The structures of the synthesized compounds were determined by IR, 1H-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated against human colorectal carcinoma (HCT116) and human cervix carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines. Compound 4 (4-{[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)carbamoyl]amino}-N-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide) showed marked anticancer activity, being the most active compounds in this series with the IC50 value of 13.92 ± 0.22 µM and 37.91 ± 0.10 µM against HeLa and HCT116, respectively. In silico, ADMET was used to examine their pharmacokinetic properties. ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) studies were applied to develop new anticancer compound(s) with high selectivity.
Mapping Model of Chaotic Phase Synchronization

description: A coupled map model for the chaotic phase synchronization and its desynchronization phenomenon is proposed. The model is constructed by integrating the coupled kicked oscillator system, kicking strength depending on the complex state variables. It is shown that the proposed model clearly exhibits the chaotic phase synchronization phenomenon. Furthermore, we numerically prove that in the region where the phase synchronization is weakly broken, the anomalous scaling of the phase difference rotation number is observed. This proves that the present model belongs to the same universality class found by Pikovsky et al.. Furthermore, the phase diffusion coefficient in the de-synchronization state is analyzed.

description: Transport in topological matter has shown a variety of novel phenomena over the last decade. Although numerous transport studies have been conducted on three-dimensional topological insulators (3D-TIs), study of ballistic motion and thus exploration of potential landscapes on a hundred nanometer scale is for the prevalent TI materials almost impossible due to their low carrier mobility. Therefore it is unknown whether helical Dirac electrons in TIs, bound to interfaces between topologically distinct materials, can be manipulated on the nanometer scale by local gates or locally etched regions. Here we impose a submicron periodic potential onto a single surface of Dirac electrons in high mobility strained mercury telluride (HgTe), which is a strong TI. Pronounced geometric resistance resonances constitute the first observation of a ballistic effect in 3D-TIs.

Optimal phase space projection for noise reduction

description: In this communication we will re-examine the widely studied technique of phase space projection. By imposing a time domain constraint (TDC) on the residual noise, we deduce a more general version of the optimal projector, which includes those appearing in previous literature as subcases but does not assume the independence between the clean signal and the noise. As an application, we will apply this technique for noise reduction. Numerical results show that our algorithm has succeeded in augmenting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for simulated data from the Rössler system and experimental speech record.
