description: LINC complex proteins connect the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeleton, which is an important link for processes such as maintaining epithelial cell polarization and mechanobiology. Nesprin 4 (Nesp4), a member of the LINC complex family, is known to play a role in the apical-basal polarization of epithelial cells. The major phenotype for the loss of Nesp4 in mice is hearing loss. Nevertheless, other symptoms including emphysema and reduced lean mass were also observed, which led us to speculate that Nesp4 may have important roles in other tissues such as lungs and pancreas. We show that Nesp4 is indeed expressed in the airway epithelium and show that the expression is restricted to a small population of cells, which are consistent with FOXJ1 positive ciliated cells. These cells are important for mucus secretion and movement in the airways. For pancreatic cells our results suggest that Nesp4 is important for the pancreatic exocrine function and highlight Mist1and TCF7L2 as possible transcriptional regulators of SYNE4 gene expression. Breast tissue is another major site of Nesp4 expression. For breast cancer, defects in cell polarity are associated with cancer cell migration and invasion ability. Our findings show that Nesp4 downregulation coincides with increased motility and cell invasion ability in breast cancer cell lines, which highlights a possible protective role of Nesp4 against breast cancer cells metastasis. Finally, studying of certain mechanobiological aspects of the LINC complex requires specific tools that can apply controlled strain on cells, such as cell stretchers. We have also fully characterized and optimized a cell stretcher suitable for mechanobiological studies.

description: Counterintuitive nature of quantum physics leads to a number of paradoxes. One of them is a "quantum vampire" effect [1] consisting in the fact, that photon annihilation in a part of a large beam doesn't change the shape of the beam profile (i. e., doesn't cast a shadow), but may change the total beam intensity. Previously this effect was demonstrated just in a simplified double-mode regime [1,2]. In the current paper the direct test of shadow absence after the photon annihilation has been performed with use of thermal state of light at the input.

description: We study the effects produced by competition of two physical mechanisms of energy localization in inhomogeneous nonlinear systems. As an example, we analyze spatially localized modes supported by a nonlinear impurity in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and describe three types of nonlinear impurity modes --- one- and two-hump symmetric localized modes and asymmetric localized modes --- for both focusing and defocusing nonlinearity and two different (attractive or repulsive) types of impurity. We obtain an analytical stability criterion for the nonlinear localized modes and consider the case of a power-law nonlinearity in detail. We discuss several scenarios of the instability-induced dynamics of the nonlinear impurity modes, including the mode decay or switching to a new stable state, and collapse at the impurity site.

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This study examines hashtag feminism in Qatar and social media's role in women's political participation in the region. The thesis aims to identify the perception of feminism in the region, the type of responses under the hashtags, what influences the hashtag initiation and participation, and whether hashtag activism is an effective form of political participation in an authoritarian/conservative country. The study conducts a qualitative content analysis of different feminist and women's rights hashtag, focusing on Qatari Woman’s Rights hashtag for content and thematic analysis. By analyzing the content of the Twitter hashtag #حقوق-المرأة-القطرية (#qatari_woman_rights), the study found that tweets under the hashtag tend to reflect common comprehension of feminism in the region, express different perceptions of feminists, reply or contribute to misogyny, and convey perceived importance of feminism as a social/political movement in the region. This study further discusses Twitter's role as the primary platform for political participation, pushing and examining feminism as a controversial evolving topic in the region. The findings suggest a unique cultural and political role in the perception of feminism in Qatar and on women's online political participation.

description: We consider the phase transition in a model which consists of a Ginzburg-Landau free energy for superconductors including a Chern-Simons term. The mean field theory of Halperin, Lubensky and Ma [Phys. Rev. Lett. 32, 292 (1974)] is applied for this model. It is found that the topological mass, $θ$, drives the system into different regimes of phase transition. For instance, there is a $θ_{c}$ such that for $θθ_{c}$ only the second order phase transition exists. The 1-loop renormalization group analysis gives further insight to this picture. The fixed point structure exhibits tricritical and second order fixed points.

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: Organizational efficiency (OE) is generally defined as a state of organization were maximum output is generated with minimum input and minimal wastage of resources. Organizational or institutional efficiency in public and private sector enterprises plays important role in sustaining economic and social development through continuous value creation for the countries. There are many models and frameworks established to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of organizations. However, these models and frameworks vary widely and finding an optimal model for an organization keeping in mind the local culture and traditions is a difficult task.While organizations measure their efficiency through resource utilized to achieve objectives and operational goals, it also quantifies investments and efforts to achieve an organization’s goals along with evaluating impacts or results of investments and efforts. Comparing various definitions, it is identified that business efficiency is linked to profitability and growth of a business in financial terms, and organizational efficiency indicates the overall health of the organization in a holistic manner. In this research, author has aimed to define organizational efficiency, identify indicators used by Qatari organizations, compare them with international best practices to understand the state of efficiency in Qatari organizations, identify the root-causes of perceptional inefficiencies systematically and develop tailored strategies to improve organizational efficiency in Qatari organizations. The Methods of this research were based on multiple streams of information (triangulation of data source), in this case (i) Systematic literature Review, (ii) Online survey (iii) observation & iteration with constructs from the literature review. The survey conducted amongst employees of various Qatari organizations from a wide range of business verticals have revealed major causes of inefficiencies in Qatari Organizations. The result of the survey examined and will be use as a platform towards the need for establishing a robust and comprehensive framework that could be employed by Qatari organizations to improve their organizational efficiency while considering all the Qatari’s context.

Fast Sequence Segmentation using Log-Linear Models

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Sequence segmentation is a well-studied problem, where given a sequence of elements, an integer K, and some measure of homogeneity, the task is to split the sequence into K contiguous segments that are maximally homogeneous. A classic approach to find the optimal solution is by using a dynamic program. Unfortunately, the execution time of this program is quadratic with respect to the length of the input sequence. This makes the algorithm slow for a sequence of non-trivial length. In this paper we study segmentations whose measure of goodness is based on log-linear models, a rich family that contains many of the standard distributions. We present a theoretical result allowing us to prune many suboptimal segmentations. Using this result, we modify the standard dynamic program for one-dimensional log-linear models, and by doing so reduce the computational time. We demonstrate empirically, that this approach can significantly reduce the computational burden of finding the optimal segmentation.

description: We report a simple scheme for direct generation of frequency-bin entangled photon pairs via spontaneous parametric downconversion. Our fabricated nonlinear optical crystal with two different poling periods can simultaneously satisfy two different, spectrally symmetric nondegenerate quasi-phase-matching conditions, enabling the direct generation of entanglement in two discrete frequency-bin modes. Our produced photon pairs exhibited Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with high-visibility beating oscillations, a signature of two-mode frequency-bin entanglement. Moreover, we demonstrate deterministic entanglement-mode conversion from frequency-bin to polarization modes, with which our source can be more versatile for various quantum applications. Our scheme can be extended to direct generation of high-dimensional frequency-bin entanglement, and thus will be a key technology for frequency-multiplexed optical quantum information processing.
Can induced gravity isotropize Bianchi I, V, or IX Universes?

description: We analyze if Bianchi I, V, and IX models in the Induced Gravity (IG) theory can evolve to a Friedmann--Roberson--Walker (FRW) expansion due to the non--minimal coupling of gravity and the scalar field. The analytical results that we found for the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory are now applied to the IG theory which has $ω\ll 1$ ($ω$ being the square ratio of the Higgs to Planck mass) in a cosmological era in which the IG--potential is not significant. We find that the isotropization mechanism crucially depends on the value of $ω$. Its smallness also permits inflationary solutions. For the Bianch V model inflation due to the Higgs potential takes place afterwads, and subsequently the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) ends with an effective FRW evolution. The ordinary tests of successful cosmology are well satisfied.

description: Applying the Appraisal Framework, developed by Martin and White (2005), this thesis seeks to identify and analyze some ideologically significant translation shifts taking the translation of Sayyidat Al-Qamar, dubbed Celestial Bodies, as a case study. The study follows a qualitative, textual based approach with a particualr focus on the approach adopted in the translation of three themes: slavery, gender and religion. It highlights some representative contrastive examples of each theme and analyzes the evaluative shifts made in the target text. The analysis part on slavery demonstrates that the translator opted for intensifying the harsh practice of slavery and highlighting the social hierarchy between slaves and non-slaves. The voices and images of female characters are found to be more feminist in the TT than in the ST. When translating religion related items, a shift towards negative value is detected. Key words: translation, literary, fiction, slavery, gender, religion, shifts, evaluation, ideology.

description: Entanglement suppression in the strong interaction $S$-matrix is shown to be correlated with approximate spin-flavor symmetries that are observed in low-energy baryon interactions, the Wigner $SU(4)$ symmetry for two flavors and an $SU(16)$ symmetry for three flavors. We conjecture that dynamical entanglement suppression is a property of the strong interactions in the infrared, giving rise to these emergent symmetries and providing powerful constraints on the nature of nuclear and hypernuclear forces in dense matter.

Using a culturally sensitive lifestyle modification toolkit to manage hypertension among West African immigrants
Creators: name: Darby, Beauty
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Blood pressure control remains a challenge for healthcare providers throughout the country. People of African descent, including West African immigrants, are at a greater risk of developing premature cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Lack of education, significant cultural misconceptions about hypertension are barriers to achieving adequate blood pressure control in this population.Objective: This project aimed to employ a culturally sensitive lifestyle modification toolkit to manage hypertension among West African immigrants aged 21–65.Methods: This quasi-experimental project was conducted in a West African Church in central New Jersey and over Zoom for six weeks. Blood pressures were measured pre-intervention and post-intervention. The hypertension Evaluation of Lifestyle and Management scale (HELM) was used to assess knowledge and lifestyle management, while the Hill-Bone scale (HB-MAS) was used to assess medication adherence.Results: There were statistically significant improvements at the alpha=0.05 threshold. The Wilcoxen signed rank sum test revealed statistically significant improvement in HELM questionnaire scores (S=52.5, p=0.0001), HB-MAS questionnaire scores (S=7.0, p=0.0001), and systolic S= -51.5 (p=0.0002) and diastolic (S= -52.5, p=0.0001) blood pressure measurements.Implications for Practice: This project’s findings support other evidence-based studies that have concluded that hypertension education is a practical and effective strategy to reduce racial disparities in hypertension control. Congruently, a culturally sensitive approach to dealing with high-risk West African immigrants might be more effective in controlling hypertension among this population.

Reconnection of Vortex Tubes with Axial Flow

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper addresses the interaction of initially anti-parallel vortex tubes containing an axial flow that induces a twisting of the vortex lines around the tube axes, using numerical simulations. Vortex tube configurations with both the same and opposite senses of twist -- corresponding to same and opposite signs of kinetic helicity density -- are considered. It is found that the topology of the reconnection process is very different between the two cases. For tubes with the same sense of twist, the reconnection is fully three-dimensional (3D): vortex lines reconnect at a finite angle, and 3D vortex null points may be created. Following reconnection the vortex line topology in both bridge and thread structures exhibits a high degree of complexity. For oppositely-twisted tubes the reconnection is locally two-dimensional, occurring along vorticity null lines, that in contrast to the untwisted case are not perpendicular to the tube axes. This leads to a break in the symmetry between the two vortex bridges generated during reconnection. For all cases studied, increasing the twist in the vortex tubes leads to a later, faster, and more complete reconnection process.

description: Quantum creation of Universes with compact spacelike sections that have curvature $k$ either closed, flat or open, i.e. $k=\pm1,0$ are studied. In the flat and open cases, the superpotential of the Wheeler De Witt equation is significantly modified, and as a result the qualitative behaviour of a typical wavefunction differs from the traditional closed case. Using regularity arguments, it is shown that the only consistent state for the wavefunction is the Tunneling one. By computing the quantum probabilities for the curvature of the sections, it is shown that quantum cosmology actually favours that the Universe be open, $k=-1$. In all cases sufficient inflation $\sim 60$ e-foldings is predicted: this is an improvement over classical measures that generally are ambiguous as to whether inflation is certain to occur.

Analyzing Palestinian Women’s Activism Within the Online Counterpublic: A Case Study of #Tweetyourthobe on Twitter

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 44

description: The Palestinian flag and the Palestinian struggle have always been rooted within Palestinian campaigns and activism. Although there are many studies done regarding Palestinian women’s activism, there is still a lack of research on Palestinian women’s presence in the online counterpublic. This paper looks at a new form of Palestinian activism: the traditional Palestinian thobe (dress) within the digital counterpublic (social media). Focusing on Habermas’ work on the public sphere and Fraser’s critique, the Internet has become a place for ‘counterpublics’ where minority groups from every community are represented, acknowledged, and able to freely discuss cultural, social, and political issues of the day. Counterpublics’ potential in the Palestinian women’s movement is examined through the #TweetYourThobe case study, which encourages Palestinian women to tweet their traditional Palestinian thobe. Twitter data was collected through Twint software and organized using Tableau Public, a tool which eased the analysis process of reviewing every tweet from December 2018 until December 2019 manually. I argue that with the accessible spaces of digital counterpublics, Palestinian women were able to form a campaign to raise awareness of the cultural, political, and national identity of Palestinians through the thobe that is just as effective as the common movements that are done with the use of the Palestinian flag or land.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of ICE'18, the 11th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, which was held in Madrid, Spain on the 20th and 21st of June 2018 as a satellite event of DisCoTec'18. The ICE workshop series features a distinguishing review and selection procedure, allowing PC members to interact anonymously with authors. As in the past ten editions, this interaction considerably improved the accuracy of the feedback from the reviewers and the quality of accepted papers, and offered the basis for lively discussion during the workshop. For the second time, the 2018 edition of ICE included double blind reviewing of original research papers, in order to increase fairness and avoid bias in reviewing. Each paper was reviewed by three PC members, and altogether six papers were accepted for publication (the workshop also featured four oral presentations which are not part of this volume). We were proud to host three invited talks, by Elvira Albert, Silvia Crafa, and Alexey Gotsman. The abstracts of these talks are included in this volume together with the regular papers. Final versions of the contributions, taking into account the discussion at the workshop, are included.

description: Surgical simulation is an increasingly important element of surgical education. Using simulation can be a means to address some of the significant challenges in developing surgical skills with limited time and resources. The photo-realistic fidelity of simulations is a key feature that can improve the experience and transfer ratio of trainees. In this paper, we demonstrate how we can enhance the visual fidelity of existing surgical simulation by performing style transfer of multi-class labels from real surgical video onto synthetic content. We demonstrate our approach on simulations of cataract surgery using real data labels from an existing public dataset. Our results highlight the feasibility of the approach and also the powerful possibility to extend this technique to incorporate additional temporal constraints and to different applications.

description: We have experimentally elucidated the correlation between inverse and direct Edelstein Effects (EEs) at Bi2O3/Cu interface by means of spin absorption method using lateral spin valve structure. The conversion coefficient λ for the inverse EE is determined by the electron momentum scattering time in the interface, whereas the coefficient q for the direct EE is by the spin ejection time from the interface. For the Bi2O3/Cu interface, the spin ejection time was estimated to be ~ 53 fs and the momentum scattering time ~ 13 fs at room temperature, both of which contribute to the total momentum relaxation time that defines the resistivity of the interface. The effective spin Hall angle for the Bi2O3/Cu interface amounts to ~ 10% which is comparable to commonly used spin Hall material such as platinum. Interesting to note is that the experimentally obtained Edelstein resistances given by the output voltage divided by the injection current for direct and inverse effects are the same. Analysis based on our phenomenological model reveals that the larger the momentum scattering time, the more efficient direct EE; and the smaller spin ejection time, the more efficient inverse EE.

Rights of Forced Migrants and the Responsibilities of Muslims towards Them in the Islamic Tradition and in International Law: A Study of the Rights of Rohingya Refugees in India, Post-2016

description: The phenomena of migration occupy an important place in the Islamic tradition. The rights of forced migrants emphasized in the scripture, coupled with the early Muslim treatment of them, provides a rich legacy of ethico-normative standards and juridical principles. The emergence of a modern system of nation-states has highlighted problems in applying these principles in the modern context since they were conceptualized based on the classical system of governance. This thesis presents an analytical study of the rights of forced migrants in the Islamic tradition along with international law and the moral responsibilities of Muslims towards them. By taking the example of Rohingya refugees in India as a case study, the research shows how the Islamic ethico-normative principles on forced migration can be applied in the modern context

description: The spreading of damage technique is used to study the sensibility to initial conditions in a heath bath Monte Carlo simulation of the spin glass hypercubic cell model. Since the hypercubic cell in dimension 2D and the hypercubic lattice in dimension D resemble each other closely at finite dimensions and both converge to mean field when dimension goes to infinity, it allows us to study the effect of dimensionality on the dynamical behavior of spin glasses.

description: Recently the oxygen-reconstructed tantalum surface Ta(001)-p(3$\times$3)-O has experienced considerable attention due its use as a potential platform for Majorana physics in adatom chains. Experimental studies using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy found rich atomic and electronic structures already for the clean Ta(001)-O surface, which we combine here with $ab~initio$ methods. We discover two metastable superstructures at the root of the different topographic patterns, discuss its emergence during annealing, and identify the electronic properties. The latter is determined as the sole origin for the contrast reversal seen at positive bias. The observed effects are essentially connected to the two distinct oxygen states appearing on the surface in different geometries. The second superstructure was found in simulations by introducing oxygen vacancies, what was also observed in tantalum pentoxide systems. Additionally we study the charge distribution on the oxidized surface and underline its importance for the adsorption process of polarizable atoms and molecules.

Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Protein Crystallization Propensities

description: Protein structure determination has primarily been performed using X-ray crystallography. In order to overcome the expensive cost, high attrition rate, and series of trial and error settings, many in-silico methods have been developed to predict protein crystallization propensities of proteins based on their sequences. However, the majority of these methods build their predictors through extracting features from protein sequences. This is computationally expensive and can explode the feature space. Moreover, most of the developed methods rely on extracting physio-chemcial, sequence-based, and functional features from the raw protein sequences. Nevertheless, the challenge remains to identify novel biological features that can accurately estimate protein crystallization propensity. The focus of this work is to apply deep learning and machine learning models that can predict the protein crystallization propensity in two different directions. The first method is by using deep learning techniques to predict proteins that will crystallizable from the proteins that will not; without the need to manually engineer any features. The second method is based on applying a machine learning method that uses many common sequence-derived and physiochemical features, as well as novel secondary structure and disordered features derived from the protein sequences. Additionally, interpretation for the output of the machine learning method is provided by explaining the most important features which drive the model predictions, either towards non-crystallizable proteins or the protein diffraction-quality crystals class. The two in-silico methods in this work successfully outperformed all the existing state of the art protein crystallization classifiers. Furthermore, they provide highly accurate and precise predictions to the crystallographers who can use them to pick proteins of their interest which are highly likely to produce diffraction-quality crystals.

description: Many numerical codes now under development to solve Einstein's equations of general relativity in 3+1 dimensional spacetimes employ the standard ADM form of the field equations. This form involves evolution equations for the raw spatial metric and extrinsic curvature tensors. Following Shibata and Nakamura, we modify these equations by factoring out the conformal factor and introducing three ``connection functions''. The evolution equations can then be reduced to wave equations for the conformal metric components, which are coupled to evolution equations for the connection functions. We evolve small amplitude gravitational waves and make a direct comparison of the numerical performance of the modified equations with the standard ADM equations. We find that the modified form exhibits much improved stability.
