description: A new consistent analysis of the renormalized proton--neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation based on the simultaneous recalculation of the one--body density matrix and the pairing tensor has been used to study the double beta decay. We demonstrated that inclusion of the quasiparticle correlations at the BCS level reduces the ground state correlations in the particle--particle channel of the proton--neutron interaction. We also simplified the RQRPA equations significantly obtaining a low--dimensioned set of linear equations for the quasiparticle densities. The formalism was applied to the double beta decay in ^{76}Ge.

description: The standard determination of the QED coupling on the Z pole is performed using the latest available data for R. The direct application of analytic continuation techniques is found not to improve the accuracy of the value of α(M_Z^2). However they help to resolve an ambiguity in the values of R in the energy region \sqrt{s} < 2 GeV, which, in turn, reduces the uncertainty in α(M_Z^2). Moreover, they provide a sensitive determination of the mass of the charm quark. The favoured solution, which uses the inclusive data for R for \sqrt{s} < 2 GeV, has a pole mass m_c = 1.33-1.40 GeV and α^{-1}(M_Z^2) = 128.972 +/- 0.026; whereas if the sum of the exclusive channels is used to determine R in this region, we find α^{-1}(M_Z^2) = 128.941 +/- 0.029.

Analysis of RNA-Protein interactions involved in calicivirus translation and replication
Creators: name: Karakasiliotis, Ioannis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The interaction of host-cell nucleic acid-binding proteins with the genomes of positive-stranded RNA viruses is known to play a role in the translation and replication of many viruses. To date, however, the characterisation of similar interactions with the genomes of members of the Caliciviridae family has been limited to in vitro binding analysis. In this study, feline calicivirus (FCV) and murine norovirus (MNV) have been used as model systems to identify and characterise the role of host-cell factors that interact with the viral RNA and RNA structures that regulate virus replication. It was demonstrated that RNA-binding proteins such as polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB), poly(C)-binding proteins (PCBPs) and La protein interact with the extremities of MNV and FCV genomic and subgenomic RNAs. PTB acted as a negative-regulator in FCV translation and is possibly involved in the switch between translation and replication during the late stages of the infection, as PTB is exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where calicivirus replication takes place. Furthermore, using the MNV reverse-genetics system, disruption of 5' end stem-loops reduced infectivity ~15-20 fold, while disruption of an RNA structure that is suspected to be part of the subgenomic RNA synthesis promoter and an RNA structure at the 3' end completely inhibited virus replication. Restoration of infectivity by repair mutations in the subgenomic promoter region and the recovery of viruses that contained repressor mutations within the disrupted structures, in both the subgenomic promoter region and the 3’ end, confirmed a functional role for these RNA secondary structures. Overall this study has yielded new insights into the role of RNA structures and RNA-protein interactions in the calicivirus life cycle.
Gene regulation and epigenotype in Friedreich’s ataxia
Creators: name: Rothe, Nadine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is known to be provoked by an abnormal GAA-repeat expansion located in the first intron of the FXN gene. As a result of the GAA expansion, patients exhibit low levels of FXN mRNA, leading to FRDA. Here, via chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), the presence of a RNA pol II transcriptional pausing site at exon 1 of the FXN gene was demonstrated. At this site, FRDA EBVcell lines exhibited elevated levels of the negative elongation factor NELF-E depending on the presence of a GAA repeat expansion compared to controls. This site may represent a rate-limiting step for FXN transcription and consequently provide a means to modify transcription levels in FRDA. Moreover, RNA pol II pausing site binding factors, such as NELF-E, were influenced by Nicotinamide treatment, a HDAC class III inhibitor. Therefore, factors sensitive to chromatin changes may influence the regulation of RNA pol II pausing and also balance otherwise positive chromatin changes. This new finding could explain the relatively minor effects of different drug approaches to up-regulate this gene. Furthermore, CTCF and the histone demethylase LSD1 were also found to be located at the FXN pausing site. Results suggest a function for LSD1 in demethylating H3K4me2 at the pausing site and potentially also in demethylating H3K9me3 in the case of frequently transcribed expanded GAA repeats. Therefore, LSD1 might play a crucial role in preventing heterochromatinisation of a euchromatic gene. Using primary transcript RNA-FISH, a delay in RNA pol II release from the pausing site and furthermore a dramatic loss of RNA pol II elongation in the presence of expanded GAA repeats was seen. The identified and characterised transcriptional pausing site at FXN is likely to play a repressive role and participates in the pathogenesis of FRDA.
Fulton County’s Voting Machine Breach

description: Background: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Takes Action The state’s top election official filed a legal brief against officials in Fulton County, claiming that the officials were in violation of a January 27th court injunction. [1] “Last July, election officials in Fulton County gave an unauthorized company called Speckin Forensics LLC, access to its voting machines” [1] Implications: What comes next? This past Friday, the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court appointed Commonwealth Court Judge Renee Cohn Juberlirer to determine if the actions were lawful or ill-intended. [1] Cohn Juberlirer will be acting as a special master in this case which means that she must act with a high degree of neutrality. [3] She is mandated to produce a report with her findings and recommendations to the high court by November 18, 2022. [1] Conclusions: How can we remedy the situation? This is not the first time concerns have been raised about voting methods in the United States. On May 1, 2020, the Plaintiffs People First of Alabama along with other voters sued the state of Alabama for a “lack of requisite safety and accessibility procedures for voting during the pandemic” [2] This issue raises crucial questions about election security and the legitimacy of voting methods. Voter fraud is a concern of many Americans on both sides of the political spectrum. Consequently, some voting methods such as absentee mail-in ballots are frowned upon by citizens. Spreading more awareness about the diminutive amounts of voter fraud in past U.S. elections could re-assert trust in our democracy.
Developing an electrochemical tissue perfusion sensor
Creators: name: Harvey, Severin Luc Ramses
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis focuses on the development of an electrochemical tissue perfusion sensor. Tissue perfusion is the cellular level mass transport mechanism which describes the movement of nutrients and metabolites within in tissue and is a measure of tissue health. Our understanding of tissue perfusion is still limited because current measurement tools are inadequate. The tissue perfusion measurement technique developed overcomes the limitation of current methods in that continuous and cellular level measurements are possible. This is achieved using a platinum ring-disc microelectrode operated in the collector-generator mode. This electrode pair is placed in tissue where one electrode generates hydrogen whilst the other collects it. Tissue perfusion will strongly influence the movement of H2 between the two closely spaced electrodes. The ratio of collector to generator current can thus be used to quantify tissue perfusion. To make the micron size ring-disc electrodes, a novel fabrication method was used. It relies on hollow cylindrical sputter coating and produces sensors with diameter as small as 28 μm. A number of numerical models of the sensor under diffusion and convection mass transport modes were constructed to assist the design process and to further our understanding of the behaviour of the electrodes in different situations. Experimental characterisation of the sensor was also carried out under diffusion and convection mass transport modes. These experiments also improved the design of the sensor and often agreed with numerical predictions. Finally the sensor was tested in a number of animal and human tissues as well as perfusion models. These were used as a proof of principle to confirming the capability of the sensor to continuously measure changes in tissue perfusion at the cellular level.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Quasicrystals are long-range ordered and yet non-periodic. This interplay results in a wealth of intriguing physical phenomena, such as the inheritance of topological properties from higher dimensions, and the presence of non-trivial structure on all scales. Here we report on the first experimental demonstration of an eightfold rotationally symmetric optical lattice, realising a two-dimensional quasicrystalline potential for ultracold atoms. Using matter-wave diffraction we observe the self-similarity of this quasicrystalline structure, in close analogy to the very first discovery of quasicrystals using electron diffraction. The diffraction dynamics on short timescales constitutes a continuous-time quantum walk on a homogeneous four-dimensional tight-binding lattice. These measurements pave the way for quantum simulations in fractal structures and higher dimensions.

Characterisation and modelling of conducting composite electrodes
Creators: name: Zhao, Hong
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Conducting composite electrodes are versatile devices for biomedical applications showing good biocompatibility, low cost, ease of construction. They can be bulk modified with stabilised enzymes to make biosensors and electrodes for biofuel cells. Low sensitivity to flow conditions arises from the microelectrode array like behaviour but this is accompanied by high capacitance and bulk resistance which can blur the voltammetric detail. We have undertaken a systematic investigation of the effects of composition and formulation on the voltammetric behaviour and non-faradaic properties. Monodisperse glassy carbon spherical powders have been used to simplify the modelling and the relative importance of the patterns of surface conductivity and bulk 3-D connectivity has been investigated. Three dimensional numerical models based on percolation theory have been constructed which allow calculation of the distributed resistances in the composite and which enable qualitative prediction of the voltammetric properties. Voltammetric results showed a bias of E1/2 (half-wave potential) and an unstable il (diffusion limiting current) for conducting composite electrodes. A.C. Impedance showed major changes of Rct (charge transfer resistance) and Cd (double layer capacitance) as the electrodes’ ratio and thickness are varied. Comparison with carbon fibre arrays separates the effects of a distributed interface from three dimensional disparities in the conductance. Key findings are: the distributed resistance in electrodes results in bias for E1/2 and the overlap of diffusion layers on electrode surface leads to an uneven il. Numerical results have shown that the bias of E1/2 and il are in good agreement with experimental works. Different geometric configuration allows the investigation of diffusion layer difference caused by electrode array location and different internal resistance.

description: We show that the instanton-induced inelastic processes, leading to multi-gluon production in in high-energy parton-parton scattering, are considerably enhanced over the quasi-elastic ones, by a factor of 100. The basic instanton-induced inelastic contribution cause the parton-parton cross section to increase as ${\rm ln} {s}$, and their Poisson resummation in hadron-hadron scattering yield a regge-type cross section. The pomeron slope and intercept due to instanton-induced contributions are evaluated. We show that the small intercept is due to the diluteness of the instantons in the QCD vacuum, while the small slope is related to the smallness of the instanton sizes.

Chemical ecology and olfactory behaviour of an aphid parasitoid and a lacewing predator
Creators: name: Martínez Von Ellrichshausen, Andrés Santiago
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Female parasitoid (Aphidius colemani) olfactory preference was consistently biased in olfactometer experiments towards the Brassica cultivar on which it was reared when offered other Brassica cultivars as alternatives using either whole plants or detached leaves. Using gas chromatography, differences could be detected in the volatile composition of whole plants and detached leaves of five Brassica cultivars and the volatiles responsible for the fine distinctions the wasps are capable of making between plant cultivars are suggested. By subjecting female wasps to olfactory conditioning protocols, studies were carried out to understand the learning process for individual green leaf volatiles (6-carbon molecules), known to elicit behavioural responses in many insect species. Wasps were exposed to primary alcohols with differing carbon chain lengths in conjunction with aphids in an attempt to condition the wasps to the alcohols. When tested for learning, wasps changed their responses towards alcohols with molecules consisting of between 5 and 6 carbon atoms. The effect of cold temperature on olfactory preference was also investigated. After treating females at 0 °C for 0.5 h or longer, preference for the odour of the Brassica cultivar on which they were reared was lost for one hour after the cold treatment had finished, after which, the preference returned. However, when Brassica or unencountered plant odours were presented with clean air as the alternative choice, females could discern plant odour even immediately after the cold treatment. This suggests that the olfactory and locomotive systems were not altered by cold, whereas responses arising from learning-produced memories appear to have been inhibited temporarily and revealing underlying innate responses. The results indicate that temperature treatments could offer the possibility of dissecting innate and learnt behaviours in these parasitic wasps. The importance of controlling humidity arising from odour choices in olfactometers is also observed. In addition to assessing the parasitoid’s behaviour, various aspects of the role that neomatatabiol, a chemical compound closely related to aphid sex pheromone was investigated in relation to its role in the chemical ecology of the green lacewing Peyerimhoffina gracilis.

description: The announcement of the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch has lead to intensive debates on the concept of nature. It challenges the dominating Western notion of a dichotomy between nature and human culture and calls for new, unitary concepts. This has consequences for the philosophy of landscape architecture, where nature is one of the key conceptual terms. This chapter addresses these consequences and starts by summarizing the philosophies of Philippe Descola and Bruno Latour as key proponents of a unitary concept of nature for the Anthropocene. Both authors ask for entanglements between humans and non-humans as an issue of design. From this theoretical perspective, three landscape architectural „entanglement strategies“ are proposed: Entangling non-humans (Case study Buchholz Arc in Hannover), Entangling Humans (Case study Gleisdreieck Park in Berlin) and Entangling Time (Case study River Aire in Geneva). The discussion of these strategies suggests new research directions, such as re-animation, time-based aesthetics and design strategies, or designing commons. It is concluded that landscape architectural theory and practice is already able to operate from a non-dualistic perspective and works creatively at the vibrant interface between humans and non-humans. Landscape architectural research should confidently articulate this unique qualities in the context of transformative science and the Anthropocene.

With limited opportunities of the incomplete antenna configuration, a high sensitivity of about 100 Jy allows the SRH to contribute to the studies of eruptive phenomena along three lines. First, some eruptions are directly visible in SRH images. Second, some small eruptions are detectable even without a detailed imaging information from microwave depressions caused by screening the background emission by cool erupted plasma. Third, SRH observations reveal new aspects of some events to be studied with different instruments. We focus on an eruptive C2.2 flare on 16 March 2016 around 06:40, one of the first flares observed by the SRH. Proceeding from SRH observations, we analyze this event using extreme-ultraviolet, hard X-ray, white-light, and metric radio data. An eruptive prominence expanded, brightened, and twisted, which indicates a time-extended process of the flux-rope formation together with the development of a large coronal mass ejection (CME). The observations rule out a passive role of the prominence in the CME formation. The abrupt prominence eruption impulsively excited a blast-wave-like shock, which appeared during the microwave burst and was manifested in an "EUV wave" and Type II radio burst. The shock wave decayed and did not transform into a bow shock because of the low speed of the CME. Nevertheless, this event produced a clear proton enhancement near Earth. Comparison with our previous studies of several events confirms that the impulsive-piston shock-excitation scenario is typical of various events.

description: The study of functions, mechanisms of generation, and pathways of movement of cerebral fluids has a long history, but the last decade has been especially productive. The proposed glymphatic hypothesis, which suggests a mechanism of the brain waste removal system (BWRS), caused an active discussion on both the criticism of some of the perspectives and our intensive study of new experimental facts. It was especially found that the intensity of the metabolite clearance changes significantly during the transition between sleep and wakefulness. Interestingly, at the cellular level, a number of aspects of this problem have been focused on, such as astrocytes–glial cells, which, over the past two decades, have been recognized as equal partners of neurons and perform many important functions. In particular, an important role was assigned to astrocytes within the framework of the glymphatic hypothesis. In this review, we return to the “astrocytocentric” view of the BWRS function and the explanation of its activation during sleep from the viewpoint of new findings over the last decade. Our main conclusion is that the BWRS’s action may be analyzed both at the systemic (whole-brain) and at the local (cellular) level. The local level means here that the neuro-glial-vascular unit can also be regarded as the smallest functional unit of sleep, and therefore, the smallest functional unit of the BWRS.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We exhibit the gauge-group independence (``universality'') of all normalized non-intersecting Wilson loop expectation values in the large N limit of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This universality is most easily understood via the string theory reformulation of these gauge theories. By constructing an isomorphism between the string maps contributing to normalized Wilson loop expectation values in the different theories, we prove the large N universality of these observables on any surface. The string calculation of the Wilson loop expectation value on the sphere also leads to an indication of the large N phase transition separating strong- and weak-coupling phases.

Negative mass scenario and Schwarzschild spacetime in general relativity

description: In this note we discuss the hypothesis of a presence of the negative mass in the Schwarzschild's spacetime following to ideas of \cite{Villata,Chardin}. We demonstrate, that the discrete $PT$ transformation of the coordinates and mass inversion in the Schwarzschild's metric solution is equivalent to the inversion of the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, \cite{Kruskal}, in the full region of the solution's spacetime. As the consequence of the result, it is argued that the whole Schwarzschild spacetime can be described in terms of regions of positive and negative masses interconnected by the discrete transforms.

description: The position of the two-proton drip line has been calculated for even-even nuclei with $10 \leq Z \leq 82$ in the framework of the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. The current model uses the NL3 effective interaction in the mean-field Lagrangian and describes pairing correlations in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) formalism. The predictions of the RMF theory are compared with those of the Hartree-Fock+BCS approach (with effective force Skyrme SIII) and the finite-range droplet model (FRDM) and with the available experimental information.

description: A solid with larger sound speeds usually exhibits higher lattice thermal conductivity. Here, we report an exception that CuP2 has a quite large mean sound speed of 4155 m s −1, comparable to GaAs, but single crystals show very low lattice thermal conductivity of about 4 W m −1 K−1 at room temperature, one order of magnitude smaller than GaAs. To understand such a puzzling thermal transport behavior, we have thoroughly investigated the atomic structures and lattice dynamics by combining neutron scattering techniques with ﬁrst-principles simulations. This compound crystallizes in a layered structure where Cu atoms forming dimers are sandwiched in between P atomic networks. In this work, we reveal that Cu atomic dimers vibrate as a rattling mode with frequency around 11 meV, which is manifested to be remarkably anharmonic and strongly scatters acoustic phonons to achieve the low lattice thermal conductivity.

Georgia judge blocks six-week abortion ban

description: On Tuesday, November 15, Judge Robert McBurney blocked Georgia’s six-week abortion ban, finding that it violated legal precedent when it was passed in 2019, under Roe v. Wade.[1] The law took effect only after Roe was overturned and denied women the right to abortions after a heartbeat was detected. This measure blatantly violates the precedent set in Roe, which allowed for abortion until viability. The law had exceptions for cases of rape and incest, contingent on the filing of a police report.[2] It also allowed for abortions if the pregnancy would threaten the woman’s life or if the fetus became unviable due to a medical condition. In his decision, Judge McBurney stated that the ban “did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted and it is not the law of Georgia now.”[3] He leaves open the possibility of it eventually becoming law again if a new bill is passed by the state legislature now that Roe has been overturned as he did not rule on whether the law violated the Georgia Constitution and the right to privacy. He acknowledges that any legislative measures to restore the ban would occur “… in the sharp glare of public attention that will undoubtedly and properly attend such an important and consequential debate whether the rights of unborn children justify such a restriction on women’s right to bodily autonomy and privacy.” [4] This is a debate that is occurring throughout the country as fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, with the midterm elections providing voters a voice in the abortion question.[5] Montana voters rejected a measure that would have put increased restrictions on abortion, specifically criminalizing healthcare providers who perform abortions. Kentucky voters voted down a measure that would have added abortion restrictions to the state constitution.[6] Michigan, Vermont, and California voters approved amendments protecting abortion rights, reproductive rights, and bodily autonomy rights in their respective state constitutions.[7] The deprivation of the right to an abortion resonated strongly with the American people as evidenced by this overwhelming support of bodily autonomy and the right to choose.
