description: The magneto-mechanical effect is exploited as a means of producing background-free contrast in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Contrast agents consisting of iron-oxide particles and protein microspheres encapsulating colloidal iron-oxide have a sufficiently high magnetic susceptibility to be detected by modulation of a magnetic field gradient using a small solenoid coil. The externally-applied magnetic field mechanically rotates or translates these highly scattering contrast agents within the sample at the modulation frequency, which is subsequently detected as amplitude modulation of the OCT signal. Pairs of sequential axial scans (A-lines) are acquired with the magnetic field on and off, allowing one to build up a pair of images corresponding to the "on" and "off" states of the magnetic field. These image pairs are differenced to look for magnetic-specific effects, allowing one to distinguish the magnetic contrast agents from non-magnetic structures within the sample with a signal-to-background ratio of ∼23dB. This technique has the potential to be very powerful when coupled with targeting for in vivo molecular imaging. To evaluate this potential we demonstrate in vitro imaging of magnetically-labeled macrophage cells embedded in a 3D tissue phantom, in vitro tissue doped with contrast agents, and in vivo imaging of Xenopus laevis (African frog) tadpoles.

description: An effective theory of laser--plasma based particle acceleration is presented. Here we treated the plasma as a continuous medium with an index of refraction $n_{m}$ in which a single electron propagates. Because of the simplicity of this model, we did not need to perform PIC simulations in order to study the properties of the electron acceleration. We studied the properties of the electron motion due to the Lorentz force and the relativistic equations of motion were numerically solved and analysed. We compared our results to PIC simulations and experimental data.

description: In this paper we consider the coherence properties of neutrinos produced by the decays of pions in conventional neutrino beams. Using a multi-particle density matrix formalism we derive the oscillation probability for neutrinos emitted by a decaying pion in an arbitrary quantum state. Then, using methods from decoherence theory we calculate the pion state which evolves through interaction with decay-pipe gases in a typical accelerator neutrino experiment. These two ingredients are used to obtain the distance scales for neutrino beam coherence loss. We find that for the known neutrino mass splittings, no non-standard oscillation effects are expected on terrestrial baselines. Heavy sterile neutrinos may experience terrestrial loss of coherence, and we calculate both the distance over which this occurs and the energy resolution required to observe the effect. By treating the pion-muon-neutrino-environment system quantum mechanically, neutrino beam coherence properties are obtained without assuming arbitrary spatial or temporal scales at the neutrino production vertex.

description: India has huge academic platform, more than 1027 Universities, 161 premier institutions and more than 1,000 R & D institutions serving in the field of Teaching and Learning. As quality index is measured by output, number of thesis produced year after year, taken into account. As per UGC, India guidelines, after awarding Ph.D., thesis should be made available on ETD, mainly on Shodhganga of INFLIBNET. Beside this it is observed that there are four kind of channels in which one can get ETD in India i.e. Shodhganga, NDL, Institutional repositories and OPAC of particular institutes’ libraries. These channels are serving academic communities for ETDs. Looking into this scenario, researcher wants to study mainly duplication of availability of ETDs, methods of searching ETDs, packaging of ETDs and metadata of ETDs across various channels. To study this, researcher collected sample of thesis of Science & Tech, Arts & literature, Social Science & humanities by random method from each channel and tried to justify objectives determined for the study. The aim behind this study is accessibility of ETDs, to suggest a common and comprehensive format of metadata as well thesis itself, to point out duplication of theses across and within ETD, create awareness about creative commons and copyrights and point out loop holes in searching methods especially for multidisciplinary thesis. To study this, researcher has collected secondary data from ETD itself and also went through literature and study published on India based ETDs. It is also noted here during the study that whether this channels are providing bibliometric reports or has provision for downloading data in standards bibliometric formats which can support in performing bibliometric analysis in R studio or Python or Bibexcel like analytic tools? Whether these ETD platforms have been providing statistical / bibliometric parameters for available contents? To perform this study, meta data were collected categorically classified and compared and further analysed against aim and objectives of the study. For each objective a negative hypothesis formed as null-hypothesis.

The connection coefficients for the asymptotic solutions of the linear problem are found to correspond to the $Q$-functions for $\mathfrak{g}$-type quantum integrable models. The $ψ$-system for the solutions associated with the fundamental representations of $\mathfrak{g}$ leads to Bethe ansatz equations associated with the affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$. We also study the $A^{(2)}_{2r}$ affine Toda field equation in massless limit in detail and find its Bethe ansatz equations as well as T-Q relations.

description: Vibrational wave packets in the B 1Πu and D 1Σu+ excited states of Cs2 have been studied on the ∼100 fs time scale by pump-probe laser spectroscopy. The temporal behavior of the wave packets was monitored by photoionizing the electronically excited molecule with a time-delayed probe pulse and recording the time and energy-integrated photoelectron signal as a function of time delay between the pump and probe pulses. For the B 1Σu+ experiments, wave packets were produced by exciting the B 1Σu+ ← X 1Σg+ transition in the ∼740-790 nm region and subsequently detected by photoionizing the molecule at wavelengths between 565 nm and 600 nm. By simulating the experimentally observed transients with the density matrix formalism (and explicitly accounting for laser chirp and |Δv|>1 coherences), improved values for the equilibrium internuclear separation for the Cs2(B 1Πu) state and Te for the Cs2+(X) state were determined to be Re(B 1Πu) = 4.93 ±0.03 Å and Te[Cs2+(X)] = 29 930± 100 cm-1, respectively. Similar experiments were conducted for the D 1Σu+ state. Wave packets composed of vibrational levels (v′ ≈ 40-50). perturbed by the bound 2 3Πou state were produced on the D 1Σu+ potential surface by driving the D 1Σu+ ←X1Σg+ transition in the 575-610 nm spectral interval.

description: The paper considers the homogenization problems on the determination of the effective moduli of piezoceramic materials with elastic inclusions. The numerical solutions have been obtained by the effective moduli method and finite element method for the representative volumes with granular inclusions created in ACELAN-COMPOS package according to the original 3-0 algorithm. New features of this algorithm allow the user to vary different characteristics of the generated granules. The provided examples of finite element computations illustrate the influence of the shapes of granules and their locations on the effective properties of piezocomposites.

description: Eine häufig angewandte Methode zur Behandlung kleiner bis mittelgroßer intraokularer Tumoren ist die Brachytherapie mit radioaktiven Ruthenium-106-Applikatoren. Für die Therapie von Tumoren in der Nähe des Sehnervs werden asymmetrische COB-Applikatoren verwendet. Diese Applikatoren besitzen einen Ausschnitt, der eine Positionierung der Applikatoren möglichst nah am Sehnerv ermöglicht. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, zu untersuchen, inwieweit die Rotation dieses Applikatortyps die Dosisdeposition beeinflusst, wobei der Sehnerv die Bewegung begrenzt. Da die Rotation des COB-Applikators um ihren Mittelpunkt möglicherweise einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Dosisverteilungen hat, könnte dies zu Nebenwirkungen beim Einsatz dieses Applikators bei Augentumoren führen. Die möglichen Einflüsse werden mithilfe von Geant4-basierten Monte-Carlo Simulationen untersucht. Dabei wird ein Falldatensatz in ein generisches CAD-Augenmodell unter Berücksichtigung der Positionierung des COB-Applikators mit unterschiedlichen Rotationswinkeln implementiert. Es werden die Dosisverteilungen im Tumor sowie in den Risikostrukturen ermittelt und verglichen. Als Resultat ergibt sich, dass die Rotation des COB-Applikators innerhalb des untersuchten Winkelintervalls keinen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Dosisverteilungen hat.
description: A commonly used method for treating small to medium-sized intraocular tumors is brachytherapy with the radioactive ruthenium-106 eye plaque. For the therapy of tumors near the optic nerve, asymmetric COB applicators are used. These applicators have a cutout that allows the applicators to be positioned as close to the optic nerve as possible. The aim of the present work is to investigate to what extent the rotation of this type of applicator, which is limited by the optic nerve, affects the dose deposition. Since the rotation of the COB applicator around its center possibly has a significant influence on the dose distributions, this could lead to side effects when using this applicator in ocular tumors. The possible influences will be investigated using Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulations. In this process, a case dataset is implemented into a generic CAD-eye model considering the positioning of the COB-type plaque with different rotation angles. The dose distributions in the tumor as well as in ocular structures at risk are determined and compared. As a result, the rotation of the COB-type applicator within the investigated angle interval has no significant influence on the dose distributions.

description: We discuss the impact of the two-loop corrections to the Higgs mass in the NMSSM beyond $O(α_S(α_b + α_t))$. For this purpose we use the combination of the public tools SARAH and SPheno to include all contributions stemming from superpotential parameters. We show that the corrections in the case of a heavy singlet are often MSSM-like and reduce the predicted mass of the SM-like state by about 1 GeV as long as $λ$ is moderately large. For larger values of $λ$ the additional corrections can increase the SM-like Higgs mass. If a light singlet is present the additional corrections become more important even for smaller values of $λ$ and can even dominate the ones involving the strong interaction. In this context we point out that important effects are not reproduced quantitatively when only including $O((α_b+α_t+α_τ)^2)$ corrections known from the MSSM.

description: If dark matter is unstable and the mass is within GeV-TeV regime, its decays produce high-energy photons that give contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB). We constrain dark matter decay by analyzing the 50-month EGRB data measured with Fermi satellite, for different decay channels motivated with several supersymmetric scenarios featuring R-parity violation. We adopt the latest astrophysical models for various source classes such as active galactic nuclei and star-forming galaxies, and take associated uncertainties properly into account. The lower limits for the lifetime are very stringent for a wide range of dark matter mass, excluding the lifetime shorter than 10^28 s for mass between a few hundred GeV and ~1TeV, e.g., for b\bar{b} decay channel. Furthermore, most dark matter models that explain the anomalous positron excess are also excluded. These constraints are robust, being little dependent on astrophysical uncertainties, unlike other probes such as Galactic positrons or anti-protons.

description: Population III galaxies are predicted to exist at high redshifts and may be rendered sufficiently bright for detection with current telescopes when gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy cluster. Population III galaxies that exhibit strong Lya emission should furthermore be identifiable from broadband photometry because of their unusual colors. Here, we report on a search for such objects at z > 6 in the imaging data from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), covering 25 galaxy clusters in 16 filters. Our selection algorithm returns five singly-imaged candidates with Lya-like color signatures, for which ground-based spectroscopy with current 8-10 m class telescopes should be able to test the predicted strength of the Lya line. None of these five objects have been included in previous CLASH compilations of high-redshift galaxy candidates. However, when large grids of spectral synthesis models are applied to the study of these objects, we find that only two of these candidates are significantly better fitted by Population III models than by more mundane, low-metallicity stellar populations.

Chemogenetic Approaches for Interrogation and Influence of Biological Systems

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Biochemistry

description: In current biology, there is a noticeable trend in developing new tools and methods for targeting proteins of interest as well as various cell compartments for interrogating their position and function. Fluorogen activating proteins (FAPs) offer an approach for specific protein targeting with a high activation ratio which allows their vast applications. Their inherent modularity allows researchers to modify only fluorogen to alter the properties or function of the resulting fluorogen-FAP complex. This work focuses on a rational design and validation of several new fluorogens for already existing FAP systems.We developed a novel fluorogenic dye, an azetidine modified variant of malachite green esters previously used in our lab, that preferentially labels FAPs located in acidic compartments of the cell due to a shifted carbinol-chromophore equilibrium. This fluorogen-FAP pair shows high colocalization with LysoTracker without noticeable background from protein located in neutral cellular locations. This fluorogen provides a novel chemoselective labeling platform for studies of protein trafficking in acidic compartments of the cell which might be applicable for lysosomal storage disorders.Another fluorogenic dye that we developed is an iodinated analog of the synthetic GFP chromophore that preserves tight binding to a previously published de novo designed protein mFAP2b. In addition to having high activation upon binding to the protein, this fluorogen also demonstrates singlet oxygen production capabilities. Addition of this new fluorogen-fluorophore pair to our toolbox of cellular probes would allow researchers to induce targeted ROS-mediated damage in live cells in two separate genetically targeted locations.In order to make population-scale experiments that include photoablation and targeted protein damage possible, we have worked on the development and validation of several different versions of LED-based illumination setups (Lightbox 1.1, Lightbox 2.0, LightCoffin). With these setups researchers can select what wavelength they want to use for their illumination experiment, if they want to have a flat illumination field or a spread of different light doses received by samples and perform the experiments in a reproducible fashion.

description: “Surface propulsion”means that the aircraft uses its surface of the shell to propel air. Due to the large surface area of the aircraft shell, aircraft using surface propulsion is equivalent to having a huge jet area. The huge surface area of the outer shell allows the aircraft to use a smaller airflow velocity to drive a large flow of gas, achieving high energy efficiency.

description: We consider low energy threshold reactive collisions of particles interacting via a van der Waals potential at long range in the presence of external confinement and give analytic formulas for the confinement modified scattering in such circumstances. The reaction process is described in terms of the short range reaction probability. Quantum defect theory is used to express elastic and inelastic or reaction collision rates analytically in terms of two dimensionless parameters representing phase and reactivity. We discuss the modifications to Wigner threshold laws for quasi-one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional geometries. Confinement-induced resonances are suppressed due to reactions and are completely absent in the universal limit where the short-range loss probability approaches unity.

description: Using the molecular dynamics method, the binding energies of impurity atoms of light elements C, N, O with edge dislocations, and the energy of their migration along with dislocation core in metals with fcc lattice Ni, Ag, and Al were calculated. The binding energies of impurity atoms with partial and stair-rod dislocations, as well as with jogs on them, were calculated. It is shown that the binding energy with partial dislocations is significantly lower than with stair-rod ones. The binding energy of an impurity atom with a dislocation is determined mainly by two factors: the depth of the interaction potential of the impurity atom with metal atoms and the ratio of their sizes. For this reason, in most cases, the binding energy for carbon with dislocations was greater than for oxygen atoms. The values of the activation energy of the impurity atoms diffusion along a dislocation core were found. The obtained values are several times lower than the activation energy of impurity diffusion in a pure crystal.

description: 
Elite athletes are constantly tracked, measured, scored, and sorted to improve their performance. Privacy is sacrificed in the name of improvement. Athletes frequently do not know why particular personal data are collected or to what end. Our interview study of 23 elite US college athletes and 26 staff members reveals that their sports play is governed through information asymmetries. These asymmetries look different for different sports with different levels of investment, different racial and gender makeups, and different performance metrics. As large, data-intensive organizations with highly differentiated subgroups, university athletics are an excellent site for theory building in critical data studies, especially given the most consequential data collected from us, with the greatest effect on our lives, is frequently a product of collective engagement with specific organizational contexts like workplaces and schools. Empirical analysis reveals two key tensions in this data regime: Athletes in high-status sports, more likely to be Black men, have relatively less freedom to see or dispute their personal data, while athletes in general are more comfortable sharing personal data with people further away from them. We build from these findings to develop a theory of collective informational harm in bounded institutional settings such as the workplace. The quantified organization, as we term it, is concerned not with monitoring individuals but building data collectives through processes of category creation and managerial data relations of coercion and consent.

We find that that it should have a form $\rm \dotΣ_{\star} \propto \sqrt{\frac{G}{L}}Σ_{gas}^{3/2}$, where L is a characteristic length that is related with an integration scale. With a reasonable estimation for L, we find that galaxies from different types and redshifts, including Low Surface Brightness galaxies, and individual star-forming regions in our galaxy, obey this single star formation law. We also find that depending on the assumption for L, this star formation law adopt different formulations of $\rm \dotΣ_{\star}$ scaling, that are widely studied in the literature: $\rm Σ_{gas}^{3/2}, Σ_{gas}/t_{orb}, Σ_{gas}/t_{ff} \, and \, Σ_{gas}^{2}/v_{turb}$. We also study secondary controlling parameters of the star formation law, based on the current evidence from numerical simulations and find that for galaxies, the star formation efficiency should be controlled, at least, by the turbulent Toomre parameter, the sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers.

Objectives
The current study sought to qualitatively characterize the experiences of American users in a recent open trial of the Horyzons digital platform.

Methods
In total, 20 users on Horyzons USA completed semistructured interviews 12 weeks after their orientation to the platform and addressed questions related to (1) the platform, (2) their online therapist, and (3) the peer workers and community space. A hybrid inductive-deductive coding strategy was used to conduct a thematic analysis of the data (NCT04673851).

Results
The authors identified seven prominent themes that mapped onto the three components of self-determination theory. Features of the platform itself as well as inter- and intra-personal factors supported the autonomous use of Horyzons. Users also reflected that their perceived competence in social settings and in managing mental health was increased by the familiarity, privacy, and perceived safety of the platform and an emphasis on personalized therapeutic content. The behaviors or traits of online therapists as perceived by users and regular contact with peers and peer support specialists satisfied users’ need for relatedness and promoted confidence in social settings. Users also described aspects of Horyzons USA that challenged their satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, highlighting potential areas for future iterations of the platform's content and interface.

Conclusions
Horyzons USA is a promising digital tool that provides young adults with psychosis with the means to access tailored therapy material on demand and a supportive digital community to aid in the recovery process.

“Bringing Our Small, Imperfect Stones to the Pile”: The Everyday Work of Building a More Just World
Creators: name: Nopper, Tamara K
name: Battle, Brittany Pearl
name: Randolph, Antonia
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2023

description: In this conversation between Brittany Pearl Battle and Tamara K. Nopper (facilitated by Antonia Randolph), two sociologists who have been involved in a variety of social justice struggles (e.g. prison abolition, worker’s rights, Asian American rights), describe the everyday practices that make up struggles for social justice. They identify a spectrum of practices that individuals can do to bring about a more just world, while arguing that all practices towards justice do not constitute organizing or activism. Moreover, they describe the salience of their status as workers and women of color as structuring the ways they have pursued social change at different points in their lives. In so doing, they identify academia as a workplace rather than being an academic as a status as the salient force that shapes how they work to build a more just world. Ultimately, the article questions the usefulness of the designation scholar-activist, opting to recognize the unique role of activists in social change while affirming that we all bring what we can to struggles for justice.

We are not raised by wolves: Decentering human exceptionalism in nature
Creators: name: Monje, David
name: Classen, Chandler L
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2023

description: 
Some of the earliest writings to which we have access introduce the myth of a human child raised by wolves. Enkidu is the “wild” friend of Gilgamesh in the eponymous Sumerian epic; Romulus and Remus of Rome are the infants who suckle from the she-wolf Lupa; and Mowgli's story has been told ever since he was conceived by Rudyard Kipling in The Jungle Book. While this wolf story might seem to imagine a friendly way of living with other-than-human beings, its contemporary uptake in media also serves as a prop for white supremacist orientations to the myth that reassert the primacy of “human” life, while always determining who counts as human. Nature, on this stage, is a savage, dangerous backdrop against which human cruelties and violence are portrayed as the “survival of the fittest.”

description: How do we live well? Building on the philosophical tradition of Plato, Simone Weil, and Iris Murdoch, I argue that a moral agent may reach eudaimonia by cultivating an inner life of 'attention,' a humble disposition consisting of vulnerability to and appreciation of truth, qua a dialectical desire for the Good. I call this process 'turning outward.'

description: Photoluminescence (PL) and reflectivity spectra of a high-quality InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structure reveal a series of ultra-narrow peaks attributed to the quantum confined exciton states. The intensity of these peaks decreases as a function of temperature, while the linewidths demonstrate a complex and peculiar behavior. At low pumping the widths of all peaks remain quite narrow ($< 0.1$ meV) in the whole temperature range studied, $4 - 30K$. At the stronger pumping, the linewidth first increases and than drops down with the temperature rise. Pump-probe experiments show two characteristic time scales in the exciton decay, $< 10$ps and $15 - 45ns$, respectively. We interpret all these data by an interplay between the exciton recombination within the light cone, the exciton relaxation from a non-radiative reservoir to the light cone, and the thermal dissociation of the non-radiative excitons. The broadening of the low energy exciton lines is governed by the radiative recombination and scattering with reservoir excitons while for the higher energy states the linewidths are also dependent on the acoustic phonon relaxation processes.

description: The magnetic properties of epitaxial BaTiO3/La0.76Sr0.24MnO3/BaTiO3 (BTO/LSMO/BTO) heterostructures have been studied using magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) technique. Both longitudinal and polar MOKE were probed as a function of magnetic field and temperature (in the range between 80 and 320 K) for epitaxial films of BTO/LSMO/BTO and LSMO grown on TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. The LSMO film without the BTO layers exhibits nearly square field-dependent MOKE hysteresis loops with low saturation fields below a bulk-like Curie temperature (TC) of ∼ 350K. In contrast, the film with the BTO layers exhibits a significantly suppressed TC of 155 K, accompanied by significantly enhanced coercive fields and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

Relation between the intrinsic and observed central engine activity time: implications for ultra-long GRBs

description: The GRB central engine intrinsic activity time $T_{\rm ce}$ is usually described through either the $γ$-ray duration $T_{90}$ or through a generalized burst duration $t_{\rm burst}$ which includes both the $γ$-ray emission and (when present) an extended flaring X-ray plateau. Here, we define a more specific operational description of $T_{\rm ce}$, and within the framework of the internal-external shock model, we develop a numerical code to study the relationship between $T_{90}$ and $T_{\rm ce}$, as well as between $t_{\rm burst}$ and $T_{\rm ce}$, for different initial conditions. We find that when $T_{\rm ce}\lesssim 10^4$ s, late internal collisions or refreshed external collisions result in values of $T_{\rm 90}$ and $t_{\rm burst}$ larger than $T_{\rm ce}$, usually by factors of $2-3$. For $T_{\rm ce}\gtrsim 10^4$ s, the $t_{\rm burst}$ is always a good estimator for $T_{\rm ce}$, while $T_{90}$ can underpredict $T_{\rm ce}$ when the late central engine activity is moderate. We find a clear bimodal distribution for $T_{\rm ce}$, based on our simulations as well as on the observational data for $T_{90}$ and $t_{\rm burst}$. We suggest that $t_{\rm burst}$ is a reliable measure for defining "ultra-long" GRBs. Bursts with $T_{90}$ of order $10^3$ s need not belong to a special population, while bursts with $t_{\rm burst} > 10^4$ s, where the late central engine activity is more moderate and shows up in X-rays, may represent a new population. These conclusions are insensitive to the initial conditions assumed in the models.
