description: Women empowerment and its positive eect on household welfare is well acknowledged in literature. How- ever, empirical evidence on the eect of women empowerment in agriculture on household food security and how this pathway is in uenced by household agricultural commercialization remains scarce. This article attempts to close this gap by examining the impact of women control over agricultural income on household dietary diversity taking into account the household level of agriculture commercialization in rural Zambia. Applying ordered probit regression model, results show that women control over agricultural income has positive and signicant impact on household dietary diversity for households that consume relatively more diversied diets compared to those that consume less. However, agricultural commercialization tends to sub- vert women control over income resulting in positive but less signicant impact on household dietary diversity.
Post-traumatic syringomyelia: investigations into pathophysiology

description: Background and object: Post-traumatic syringomyelia is a disabling neurological condition that occurs in approximately 28% of patients following a spinal cord injury, although not all of these cases may be symptomatic. The pathogenesis of syringomyelia is not adequately understood, and treatment is associated with high failure rates. More effective treatment can only be developed when a better understanding of the pathophysiological processes is achieved. The objectives in this thesis were: (i) to determine the biochemical profile of syrinx fluid; (ii) to develop a reproducible and relevant post-traumatic syringomyelia model; (iii) to characterise the nature of syrinx inflow and outflow; (iv) to investigate the possibility of CSF-arterial pulsation delay; and (v) to determine the effect of modulating aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel function. Methods: Human and animal studies were performed. Human syrinx and spinal CSF samples were obtained intraoperatively for biochemical analyses. A computer-controlled motorised spinal cord impactor was used to develop a rodent model of post-traumatic syringomyelia. Syrinx fluid inflow and outflow were assessed in sheep and rodent models using kaolin to induce spinal arachoniditis, and horseradish peroxidase and fluorescent-labelled ovalbumin as CSF tracers. Telemetry pressure transmission was performed in a sheep arachnoiditis model. AQP4 expression and modulation were evaluated on rodent impactor and excitotoxic models. Results: Syrinx fluid had a similar biochemical profile to CSF. A reliable direct-impact model was developed with histological resemblance to human syrinxes. In the presence of arachnoiditis, CSF flow into the spinal cord was increased along perivascular spaces with progressive CSF pulsation delay. Fluid outflow occurred in a diffuse manner into the interstitial space in a new large animal model. AQP4 expression was increased in the impactor model, and AQP4 inhibition produced larger syrinxes with increased AQP4 expression in the surrounding areas. Conclusions: Multiple factors contribute to post-traumatic syringomyelia development beyond the initial spinal cord trauma. Arachnoiditis, CSF pulsations, outflow and aquaporins are likely to play important roles in syrinx expansion. Modulation of AQP4 and other molecular processes may be potential avenues for development of new treatments.

description: The purpose of this research was to explore the diagnostic/prognostic significance and prospective molecular mechanisms of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAP3Ks) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Diagnostic/prognostic significance of MAP3Ks was screened in the GSE1450 data set and validated in the Guangxi cohort. Various bioinformatics tools were used to explore the biological functions of prognosis-related genes. Subsequently, molecular biology assays were used to verify the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of specific gene. MAP3K9 was observed to be differentially expressed in HCC and adjacent tissues with satisfactory diagnostic value. It was discovered in survival analysis that MAP3K13 and MAP3K15 were associated with overall survival (OS) of patients with HBV-related HCC in the GSE1450 data set and the Guangxi cohort. Nomograms were established based on prognosis-related genes and clinical factors for individualized risk assessment. The assays on HCC cells demonstrated that MAP3K13 regulated the death and proliferation of HCC cells by activating the JNK pathway and inducing the expression of apoptosis-related factors. In conclusion, our results suggested that MAP3K9 might serve as a diagnostic biomarker in HBV-related HCC and MAP3K13 and MAP3K15 might serve as useful prognostic biomarkers. Besides, cytological assays prompted that MAP3K13 might impact the prognosis of HCC by regulating the JNK pathway and inducing apoptosis.

description: We theoretically study the impact of impurities on the photogalvanic effect (PGE) in Weyl semimetals with weakly tilted Weyl cones. Our calculations are based on a two-nodes model with an inversion symmetry breaking offset and we employ a kinetic equation approach in which both optical transitions as well as particle-hole excitations near the Fermi energy can be taken into account. We focus on the parameter regime with a single photoactive node and control the calculation in small impurity concentration. Internode scattering is treated generically and therefore our results allow to continuously interpolate between the cases of short range and long range impurities. We find that the time evolution of the circular PGE may be nonmonotonic for intermediate internode scattering. Furthermore, we show that the tilt vector introduces three additional linearly independent components to the steady state photocurrent. Amongst them, the photocurrent in direction of the tilt takes a particular role inasmuch it requires elastic internode scattering or inelastic intranode scattering to be relaxed. It may therefore be dominant. The tilt also generates skew scattering which leads to a current component perpendicular to both the incident light and the tilt. We extensively discuss our findings and comment on the possible experimental implications.

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.

Irish dependency treebanking and parsing
Creators: name: Lynn, Teresa
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: Despite enjoying the status of an official EU language, Irish is considered a minority language. As with most minority languages, it is a `low-density' language, which means it lacks important linguistic and Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources. Relative to better-resourced languages such as English or French, for example, little research has been carried out on computational analysis or processing of Irish. Parsing is the method of analysing the linguistic structure of text, and it is an invaluable processing step that is required for many different types of language technology applications. As a verb-initial language, Irish has several features that are uncharacteristic of many languages previously studied in parsing research. Our work broadens the application of NLP methods to less-studied language structures and provides a basis on which future work in Irish NLP is possible. We report on the development of a dependency treebank that serves as training data for the first full Irish dependency parser. We discuss the linguistic structures of Irish, and the motivation behind the design of our annotation scheme. Our work also examines various methods of employing semi-automated approaches to treebank development. We overcome the relatively small pool of linguistic and technological resources available for the Irish language with these approaches, and show that even in early stages of development, parsing results for Irish are promising. What counts as a sufficient number of trees for training a parser varies according to languages. Through empirical methods, we explore the impact our treebank's size and content has on parsing accuracy for Irish. We also discuss our work in crosslingual studies through converting our treebank to a universal annotation scheme. Finally we extend our Irish NLP work to the unstructured user-generated text of Irish tweets. We report on the creation of a POS-tagged corpus of Irish tweets and the training of statistical pos-tagging models. We show how existing resources can be leveraged for this domain-adapted resource development.

description: Purpose: The goal of this clinical focus article was to explore the utility of a mathematical prediction model (Bayes’ theorem) in dysphagia management.Conclusions: Bayes’ theorem shows promise as a means of incorporating evidence-based care into individual patient consultations by predicting both the risk of pneumonia and the impact of speech-language pathology and care team interventions on that risk. However, more research is needed on risk factors for pneumonia and the prevalence of pneumonia before the model can be accurately applied to clinical decision-making for patients with dysphagia.

description: Interaction effects from past climate change-amplified disturbances in fire-prone forests can produce ecological feedbacks that amplify or dampen subsequent disturbances. Climate change is increasing wildfire burned area, wildfire severity, and incidents of drought-induced forest dieback (widespread tree mortality). These climate change amplified disturbances threaten forest's ability to regulate climate, provide water, and store carbon. Greater burned area makes interaction effects due to past fires more likely, which highlights the importance of understanding whether interaction effects produce negative or positive feedback on subsequent disturbances such as forest dieback. We constructed a forest chrono-sequence by combining a geospatial database of historical fire with a time series of Landsat satellite observations for forests in the Sierra Nevada of California to assess the impact of fire history on vegetation recovery, water use (evapotranspiration), and as feedback on subsequent forest dieback. We used these data sets to assess: 1.) How does a history of prescribed fire versus wildfire change forest cover and water use? 2.) How sensitive are forest structure and water use to fires of varying severity? 3.) How do these fire-induced changes to forest structure and water use impact forest dieback intensity? Forests with recent fire history had reduced tree cover, increased shrub cover, and decreased water use, with the greatest changes due to high-severity wildfires. Through 20 years post-fire water use neared pre-fire conditions across all fire types and severities, while decreased tree cover and increased shrub cover persisted following high severity wildfires and gradually returned to pre-fire conditions for moderate and low severity fire. Fire history decreased forest dieback intensity compared to unburned controls, which suggests a dampening (negative) feedback. The reductions in forest dieback intensity were equal to or greater than reductions in tree cover and greater than reductions in water use, which suggests that post-fire reductions in tree cover combined with reductions in water use enhanced forest drought resistance more than either reduction individually.  In fire-prone conifer forests, interaction effects from past fires will dampen subsequent drought-induced forest dieback, introducing novel ecological feedback with implications for forest management and climate mitigation.

description: Doxorubicin (DOX) has limited antitumor applications owing to its association with life-threatening cardiac injury. Oxidative damage and cardiac apoptosis are crucial in DOX-induced cardiac injury. Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) is predominantly distributed in the heart and acts as a cardioprotective factor that preserves cardiac function. However, the role of BMP10 in DOX-induced cardiac injury has not yet been explored. The current study aimed to examine the function and mechanism of action of BMP10 in DOX-induced cardiac injury. An adeno-associated viral system was used for the overexpression or silencing of cardiac-specific BMP10, and subsequently, a single dose of DOX was intraperitoneally injected to induce cardiac injury. Results showed that DOX exposure decreased BMP10 expression in the heart. Cardiac-specific overexpression of BMP10 alleviated the oxidative stress and apoptosis and improved cardiac function. Conversely, cardiac-specific silencing of BMP10 aggravated the redox disorder and apoptosis and worsened the cardiac dysfunction caused by DOX. Exogenous BMP10 supplementation amelioratesd the DOX-induced cardiac contractile dysfunction. Mechanistically, we found that phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is reduced in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, and, BMP10 activated impaired STAT3 via a non-canonical pathway. BMP10 lost its cardioprotective function in cardiomyocyte-specific STAT3 knockout (STAT3-cKO) mice. Based on our findings, we suggested that BMP10 is a potential therapeutic agent against DOX-induced cardiac injury and that the cardioprotective effects of BMP10 are dependent on the activation of STAT3.

description: Mid-IR phototonics is an upcoming research field driven by the useful wavelength range from 2-20μm in the electromagnetic spectrum. In this range there are many important absorption wavelengths that are created and manipulated and which are crucial in various applications relating to spectroscopy; some of these applications include security, chemical sensing, biological sensing and material processing. In particular, the atmospheric transmission window from 3-5μm is what bedrock phototonics has mainly focused its project ideas around. This project aims to develop a compact electro-optical system with low cost, commercial off-the-shelf subsystems which will power, cool and and combine the narrow band visible light of a 520nm 1 W green laser diode and a 660nm 500 mW red laser diode, These beams of light will be combined Using spectral beam combining techniques to increase beam output efficiency, and then will focused and sent through fibre optic cable which has been doped by some rare earth elements to achieve some form of superluminescence. The document will provide concepts and techniques used to accomplish the end product, background information relating to the project, procedures of the project's development and details on the potential of future development.

description: We study the equivalence classes under $Δ^1_1$ isomorphism, otherwise effective-Borel isomorphism, between complete separable metric spaces which admit a recursive presentation and we show the existence of strictly increasing and strictly decreasing sequences as well as of infinite antichains under the natural notion of $Δ^1_1$-reduction, as opposed to the non-effective case, where only two such classes exist, the one of the Baire space and the one of the naturals. A key tool for our study is a mapping $T \mapsto \mathcal{N}^T$ from the space of all trees on the naturals to the class of Polish spaces, for which every recursively presented space is $Δ^1_1$-isomorphic to some $\mathcal{N}^T$ for a recursive $T$, so that the preceding spaces are representatives for the classes of $Δ^1_1$-isomorphism. We isolate two large categories of spaces of the type $\mathcal{N}^T$, the Kleene spaces and the Spector-Gandy spaces and we study them extensively. Moreover we give results about hyperdegrees in the latter spaces and characterizations of the Baire space up to $Δ^1_1$-isomorphism.

description: A (k,n)-threshold secret-sharing scheme allows for a string to be split into n shares in such a way that any subset of at least k shares suffices to recover the secret string, but such that any subset of at most k-1 shares contains no information about the secret. Quantum secret-sharing schemes extend this idea to the sharing of quantum states. Here we propose a method of performing computation on quantum shared secrets. We introduce a (n,n)-quantum secret sharing scheme together with a set of protocols that allow quantum circuits to be evaluated on the shared secret without the need to decode the secret. We consider a multipartite setting, with each participant holding a share of the secret. We show that if there exists at least one honest participant, no group of dishonest participants can recover any information about the shared secret, independent of their deviations from the protocol.

description: Airway inflammation is one of the typical pathological characteristics of asthma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating inflammation. Nevertheless, miRNA-885-3p (miR-885-3p)’s role in asthmatic inflammation and the underlying mechanism need to be explained. In this work, miR-885-3p expression and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression in asthma patients’ plasma and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated 16HBE cells were detected through quantitative real-time PCR. The interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in 16HBE cell supernatant were examined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry were employed to examine 16HBE cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Western blotting was performed to examine the expression of TLR4, cleaved caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65, Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax), phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB p65 and myeloid differentiation primitive-response protein 88 (MyD88) in 16HBE cells. Furthermore, the targeted relationship between TLR4 and miR-885-3p in 16HBE cells was determined through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Compared with healthy volunteers, miR-885-3p expression in acute asthma patients’ plasma was significantly downregulated. In 16HBE cells, the stimulation of LPS reduced miR-885-3p expression. MiR-885-3p overexpression reduced LPS-stimulated 16HBE cell injury by enhancing cell viability, and suppressing the levels of inflammatory factors and apoptosis. Furthermore, TLR4 was identified as miR-885-3p’s target gene. TLR4 overexpression weakened the impacts of miR-885-3p on LPS-stimulated cell injury and NF-κB-MyD88 signaling. In conclusion, miR-885-3p can reduce LPS-induced 16HBE cell damage, via targeting TLR4 to suppress the NF-κB-MyD88 pathway.

description: This study assessed access to and control over agricultural income and labor among smallholder farmers in Chipata, Zambia. Data was collected through 120 structured interviews, three focus group discussions, 17 key informant interviews, and desk analysis. Results show that joint decision making over agricultural income was fairly common (48 percent) in male-headed households, but uncommon (19 percent) in female-headed households. Men dominated decisions regarding household investments and livestock sales, while decisions about crop sales were jointly made with the women. Local gender norms restricted women's mobility and limited women's participation in more lucrative distant markets. Our results suggest that joint decision making among married couples is more common than routinely assumed, and assignment of control over agricultural resources is vested based on household headship, and not primarily gender. Our work highlights the importance of micro-level studies to inform program design and cautions against interventions based on assumptions of unilateral decision making by male household heads.

description: This article proposes a new energy harvesting concept that greatly enhances thermionic power generation with high e ciency by exploiting the near- field enhancement of thermal radiation. The proposed near-field enhanced thermionic energy conversion (NETEC) system is uniquely configured with a low-bandgap semiconductor cathode separated from a thermal emitter with a subwavelength gap distance, such that a significant amount of electrons can be photoexcited by near-field thermal radiation to contribute to the enhancement of thermionic current density. We theoretically demonstrate that the NETEC system can generate electric power at a significantly lower temperature than the standard thermionic generator, and the energy conver- sion e ciency can exceed 40%. The obtained results reveal that near-field photoexcitation can enhance the thermionic power output by more than 10 times, making this hybrid system attractive for renewable energy recycling.

Signalling methods between social enterprises in Indonesia and global mission-aligned impact investors

description: This qualitative research study examined signalling methods (primarily via digital communication platforms/websites) between social enterprises in Indonesia, third-party organisations based in Singapore and global mission-aligned impact investors based in Australia. Social enterprises are widely studied in various disciplines, including management, but there is little literature on signalling methods among all actors who are participating in the emerging impact investing milieu. Social enterprises are business-like entities that aim to positively impact communities while simultaneously making a profit. Global mission-aligned impact investors look beyond financial returns and their impact investments allow social enterprises to scale and create a larger impact. In the past, these two actors have experienced communication difficulties when connecting across digital environments. Signals are often miscommunicated and information is not conveyed, which can lead to unsuccessful resource acquisition. This research focused on three countries in the Asia-Pacific region (developed countries Australia, Singapore and developing Indonesia). The countries in the region offer distinct diversity and include leading entrepreneurial economies. In its first stage, the research examined and critiqued existing signalling methods and identified a third actor, the connector organisation that played a critical role in the signalling process. This triangular partnership is more complex than a simple association. Thus, this research study developed dimensions of a preliminary framework to improve signalling processes that contribute to the storytelling of social enterprises and navigate their way to find a suitable global mission-aligned impact investor. In its second stage, this research study developed key characteristics of impact investing which were applied to Australia and Singapore (representing the developed world) and Indonesia (representing the developing world). In addition, this research study also proposed a new definition of impact investing. This research study used theoretical and also purposeful sampling to select organisations. Data were collected from 37 participants in Australia, Singapore and Indonesia. The study found evidence that a triangular partnership and particular signalling approaches facilitate the competitive advantage of social enterprises and the maturation of impact investing.

description: This paper investigates the eects of gender dierences in social capital on milk market participation using data from dairy cooperatives in Ethiopia. We develop composite indicators which are reliable, valid, and consistent measures of dimensions of social capital: structural, relational, and cognitive. Then, we employ independent sample t-tests, to determine whether there are gender dierence across these dimensions. Our results show that female members have less structural social capital. Next, we use a two-way ANOVA test to examine whether milk market participation is aected by gender dierences in social capital. The results show that female members have lower milk market participation, which is attributed to their lower structural social capital. Our ndings reveal a need to reduce the gender gap in structural social capital. We suggest that this can be done by providing gender-sensitive social capital development, paying attention to gender dierences in social network formation, and providing continuous gender training.

description: What is more significant for our thesis, this was the land where both Jainism and Buddhism flourished. It is generally believed that the two religions arose as offshoots of, or rather as protests against, the Vedic religion. But this probably is far from what the history evidences; when Jainism and Buddhism emerged, there was hardly any intercourse between the Āryavarta and the Greater Magadha – between the Vedic culture and the culture of this eastern extremity of the Indo-Gangetic plain. Moreover, there was a clear difference in what Bronkhorst calls their ‘basic concerns’ : while the Vedic religion was concerned with elaborate sacrifices, the Jainism and Buddhism were concerned primarily with karma and the resulting endless cycle of rebirths. These ideas entered the Vedic religion only later, after the ārya had sojourned for long in Greater Magadha; but by then it was no longer the Vedic region; it had undergone a total transformation into what could be called as the Brahmanism. [Bronkhorst, 2017 : Brahmanism – Its Place In Ancient Indian Society, Contributions to Indian Sociology, Vol. 51, Number 3, 362] We have used the terms Jainism and Buddhism together, and this gives an impression that the two religions were contemporary. As religions, they were probably contemporary. But before Jainism evolved as a religion, there were people whom we could call as jaina. We could simply define them as early inhabitants of Greater Magadha. It is among these people that the belief system which later developed into Jain and Buddhist religions emerged around 6th to 5th century BCE; it is among these people that Siddhārtha Gautama and Vardhamāna were born. But what is most important is the fact that the term jaina is applicable to all the early inhabitants of Greater Magadha, including those that later came to be designated as Buddhists. Our focus here is not on their belief system; it is on their culture; the belief system was but a part of that culture. It was the unique culture of Greater Magadha that fostered the belief system that spawned the Jain and Buddhist religions; the defining characteristics of this culture were ātmavidyā and ahiṁsā, which was in stark contrast with the ārya culture. By ātmavidyā we mean the tendency to look within – to seek the higher truth within oneself, rather than in the external world or in some higher being. Ahiṁsā means a respect for all beings out of the realization of their sanctity and the need for their conservation. Both of these were in contrast with the focus of the ārya culture on sacrifices and placation of the higher being through these sacrifices.

description: The excessive proliferation and the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells facilitates airway remodeling in asthma. This study explores how microRNA-15b-5p (miR-15b-5p) functions in modulating the proliferation, migration, inflammatory response, and ECM deposition of ASM cells. MiR-15b-5p and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) mRNA expression levels in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced ASM cells were, respectively, examined by real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction. Besides, the proliferative ability and migrative potential of ASM cells were examined by cell counting kit-8 assay, 5-bromo-2 ‘-deoxyuridine assay, and transwell assays, respectively. Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in ASM cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. YAP1, collagen I, and collagen III expressions in ASM cells were detected by Western blot. With dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, the relations between miR-15b-5p and YAP1 3ʹUTR in ASM cells was examined. MiR-15b-5p expression level was reduced in ASM cells treated with TNF-α. MiR-15b-5p repressed TNF-α-initiated growth and migration of ASM cells and also suppressed IL-6 and IL-8 secretion, and inhibited collagen I and collagen III expressions in ASM cells. Furthermore, it was validated that YAP1 was a downstream target of miR-15b-5p in ASM cells. Notably, YAP1 overexpression attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-15b-5p up-regulation on the proliferation, migration, and inflammatory response, as well as ECM deposition of TNF-α-induced ASM cells. In conclusion, miR-15b-5p/YAP1 axis modulates the growth, migration, inflammatory response, and ECM deposition of ASM cells, thus participating in the pathogenesis of asthma.
"A storm in her mind": representations of female melacholy in Ruth and The mill on the floss

description: There is a long history of criticism concerning certain trends in the characterisation of female characters within Victorian novels. This thesis aims to explore a trend that has been largely ignored within literary criticism, the melancholic woman. This thesis will explore the representation of female melacholy in two Victorian realist novels, Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth and George Eliot's The mill on the Floss. It aims to demonstrate the ways in which representations of female melancholy functioned politically in these novels, in either reflecting or undermining Victorian gender ideologies. In approaching this question the intersections between Victorian medical and social understandings of female melancholy and the literary representations of melancholy will be examined. Through this exploration it will be argued that these novels were a space in which the assumptions underpinning the Victorian psychological discourse, and wider normative ideologies of womanhood could be challenged and complicated.

description: Flavour physics is currently well described by the Standard Model except for some measurements which could be signalling new physics. We briefly summarize the status of tensions in rare exclusive semi-leptonic $B$ decays and in $R_{K/D^{(\ast)}}$ ratios. We also address the issue of the long standing tension in the $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ exclusive/inclusive determinations.

description: We present the detection of four far-infrared fine-structure oxygen lines, as well as strong upper limits for the CO(2-1) and [N II] 205 um lines, in 3C 368, a well-studied radio-loud galaxy at z = 1.131. These new oxygen lines, taken in conjunction with previously observed neon and carbon fine-structure lines, suggest a powerful active galactic nucleus (AGN), accompanied by vigorous and extended star formation. A starburst dominated by O8 stars, with an age of ~6.5 Myr, provides a good fit to the fine-structure line data. This estimated age of the starburst makes it nearly concurrent with the latest episode of AGN activity, suggesting a link between the growth of the supermassive black hole and stellar population in this source. We do not detect the CO(2-1) line, down to a level twelve times lower than the expected value for star forming galaxies. This lack of CO line emission is consistent with recent star formation activity if the star-forming molecular gas has low metallicity, is highly fractionated (such that CO is photodissociated through much of the clouds), or is chemically very young (such that CO has not yet had time to form). It is also possible, though we argue unlikely, that the ensemble of fine structure lines are emitted from the region heated by the AGN.

Particle-hole Asymmetry in the Cuprate Pseudogap Measured with Time-Resolved Spectroscopy

description: One of the most puzzling features of high-temperature cuprate superconductors is the pseudogap state, which appears above the temperature at which superconductivity is destroyed. There remain fundamental questions regarding its nature and its relation to superconductivity. But to address these questions, we must first determine whether the pseudogap and superconducting states share a common property: particle-hole symmetry. We introduce a new technique to test particle-hole symmetry by using laser pulses to manipulate and measure the chemical potential on picosecond time scales. The results strongly suggest that the asymmetry in the density of states is inverted in the pseudogap state, implying a particle-hole asymmetric gap. Independent of interpretation, these results can test theoretical predictions of the density of states in cuprates.
