description: xCELLigence is a label-free, impedance-based, real-time and non-invasive assay with which whole cell responses can be detected upon cell stimulation. Cells are seeded in wells containing gold- plated electrodes. Changes in cell properties such as proliferation, viability, morphology and adhesion can be accurately measured with xCELLigence. Read-outs of this assay can be potency values (EC50, IC50), which are calculated using either the RTCA software or GraphPad Prism. HEK293-JumpIn-OCT3 is an adherent human embryonic kidney cell line generated by RESOLUTE, which is transfected with the human Organic Cation Transporter 3 (OCT3) gene (SLC22A3) in a doxycycline-inducible expression system. This assay can be used to determine the potency (EC50) of MPP+ uptake by JumpIn-OCT3 cells. Furthermore, this assay can be used to study OCT3 inhibitors and determine their pIC50.

description: We investigate $B \to K_0^*(1430) K^*$ decays in the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach, where $B$ denotes $B_u$, $B_d$ and $B_s$ meson respectively, and the scalar $K_0^*(1430)$ is considered as a meson based on the model of conventional two-quark structure. With the light-cone distribution amplitude of $K_0^*(1430)$ defined in two scenarios, namely Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, we make the first estimation for the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for those concerned decay modes in the pQCD factorization approach. For all considered $B \to K_0^*(1430) K^*$ decays in this paper, only one preliminary upper limit on the branching ratio of $B^0 \to {K_0^*(1430)}^0 \bar{K}^{*0}$ measured at 90% C.L. by Belle Collaboration is available now. It is therefore of great interest to examine the predicted physical quantities at two $B$ factories, Large Hadron Collider experiments, and forthcoming Super-$B$ facility, then test the reliability of the pQCD approach employed to study the considered decay modes involving a $p$-wave scalar meson as one of the final state mesons. Furthermore, these pQCD predictions combined with the future precision measurements are also helpful to explore the complicated QCD dynamics involved in the light scalars.

description: We report suppression of superconductivity in Bi4O4S3 compound by Se doping at S site. Bulk polycrystalline samples are synthesized by solid state reaction route. The Rietveld refined of XRD data of all the studied samples show that the same are crystallized in tetragonal I4/mmm space group with slightly increased c lattice constant with the Se doping. Superconductivity is observed at below 4.5 K in both dc magnetization and resistivity with temperature measurements for all Bi4O4S3-xSex (x = 0, 0.03, 0.09 and 0.15) samples, though the same is decreased slightly with increase in Se content. The upper critical field of the Bi4O4S3 is estimated from resistivity under magnetic field [R(T)H] measurements of up to 2T (Tesla), and the same decreases for Se doped samples. The flux flow activation energies being obtained by fitting to the the Arrhenius equation are 18.60 meV for Bi4O4S3, 13.69 meV for Bi4O4S2.97Se0.03 and 13.16 meV for Bi4O4S2.85Se0.15 samples in applied magnetic field of 200 Oe. In conclusion the S site Se substitution showed detrimental effect on superconductivity of Bi4O4S3.

description: We study atoms in optical lattices whose electronic ground state is off-resonantly coupled to a highly excited state with strong binary interactions. We present a time-dependent treatment of the resulting quantum dynamics, which -- contrary to recent predictions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 213005 (2013)] -- proves that the strong repulsion between the weakly admixed Rydberg states does not lead to atomic trap-loss. This finding provides an important basis for creating and manipulating coherent long-range interactions in optical lattice experiments.

Teasing apart the contributions of the different mechanisms involved in Myzus persicae resistance to neonicotinoid
Creators: name: Barrès, Benoit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Insecticide resistance can lead to the repeated application of treatments that are both ineffective in pest control and harmful for the environment. In order to establish sound strategies to slow down or limit these resistance phenomena, precise knowledge of the underlying mechanisms, their relative contribution and their potential interaction is essential. Myzus persicae is a major pest aphid, capable of infesting a wide range of crops, with significant economic impact. M. persicae is known to have evolved resistances to insecticides of different families, including the abundantly used neonicotinoids. M. persicae resistance to neonicotinoids has previously been described as being due to two main mechanisms: a P450 overexpression metabolic resistance and a target-site mutation, R81T, but their respective contribution to resistant phenotypes remains unclear. We combined extensive bioassays with synergist on numerous clones, with gene copy number and expression quantification of two key P450 enzymes (CYP6CY3 and CYP6CY4) to explain the observed phenotypes and assess the relative contribution of metabolic and target-site mechanisms to neonicotinoid resistance in M. persicae.

Disk-outflow models as applied to high mass star forming regions through methanol and water maser observations

description: As the recent publication by Breen et al (2013) found Class II methanol masers are exclusively associated with high mass star forming regions. Based on the positions of the Class I and II methanol and H$_{2}$O masers, UC H II regions and 4.5 $μ$m infrared sources, and the center velocities ($v_{\text{LSR}}$) of the Class I methanol and H$_{2}$O masers, compared to the $v_{\text{LSR}}$ of the Class II methanol masers, we propose three disk-outflow models that may be traced by methanol masers. In all three models, we have located the Class II methanol maser near the protostar, and the Class I methanol maser in the outflow, as is known from observations during the last twenty years. In our first model, the H$_{2}$O masers trace the linear extent of the outflow. In our second model, the H$_{2}$O masers are located in a circumstellar disk. In our third model, the H$_{2}$O masers are located in one or more outflows near the terminating shock where the outflow impacts the ambient interstellar medium. Together, these models reiterate the utility of coordinated high angular resolution observations of high mass star forming regions in maser lines and associated star formation tracers.

Fringe tracker

description: We discuss the basis of a new concept of fringes tracking (FT) called the HFT for Hierarchical Fringe Tracking, which would significantly increases the limiting magnitude of cophasing and coherencing of Optical Long Baseline Interferometers (OLBI). For the VLTI, the gain is expected to be of the order of 3 magnitudes, boosting the sensitivity of the 2 nd generation VLTI instruments GRAVITY and MATISSE and their scientific potential, particularly for Active Galactic Nuclei and Planet and Star formation. It also solves the standard contradiction between imaging performances (that imply more apertures) and sensitivity, which in classical OLBI fringe trackers decreases with the number of apertures. This would be a decisive advantage for future large interferometers like the PFI “Planet Formation Imager”. In HFT, we cophase pairs of telescopes, then pairs of pairs, then cophased group of telescopes. The HFT is based on a system called a T2SF (two telescopes spatial filter) that merges two beams, transmits most of the light when the beams are cophased as if produced by a single cophased aperture, and deflects the light for non-cophased beams toward pixels measuring the corrective piston. We describe a very broad band T2SF based on dispersed fringes onto an intensity or phase mask, called the Marrakesh T2SF. This MT2SF can measure the OPD between two beams, in a range larger than the largest wavelength, with only 3 to 5 measures. The combined gain in spectral bandpass and reduced read out noise results in the magnitude gain. We discuss the design, optimization and performances of the MT2SF as well as its integration into the global control loop of a Hierarchical Fringe Tracker
Kink-Antikink Scattering in ϕ^4 and ϕ^6 Models

description: For kink-antikink scattering within the ϕ^4 non--linear field theory in one space and one time dimension resonance type configurations emerge when the relative velocity between kink and antikink falls below a critical value. It has been conjectured that the vibrational excitation of the kink would be the source for these resonances because (simplified) collective coordinate calculations, that emphasized on this excitation, qualitatively reproduced those resonances. Surprisingly a numerical study in the ϕ^6 field theory also exhibited such resonances even though it does not contain the vibrational excitation. To explore this contradiction we start from the working hypothesis that in either model any collective coordinate ansatz which includes a degree of freedom similar to the vibrational excitation leads to resonances, regardless of whether or not this mode emerges as a solution to the (linearized) field equations. To this end we compare numerical results in the ϕ^4 and ϕ^6 models that arise from the full set of partial differential equations to those from the ordinary differential equations for a collective coordinate ansatz. An inaccuracy in literature formulas for the collective coordinate approach in the ϕ^4 model requires to revisit those calculations.

Imprints of spin-orbit density wave in the hidden order state of URu2Si2

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: The mysterious second order quantum phase transition, commonly attributed to the `hidden-order' (HO) state, in heavy-fermion metal URu2Si2 exhibits a number of paradoxical electronic and magnetic properties which cannot be associated with any conventional order parameter. We characterize and reconcile these exotic properties of the HO state based on a spin-orbit density wave order (SODW), constructed on the basis of a realistic density-functional theory (DFT) band structure. We quantify the nature of the gapped electronic and magnetic excitation spectrum, in agreement with measurements, while the magnetic moment is calculated to be zero owing to the spin-orbit coupling induced time-reversal invariance. Furthermore, a new collective mode in the spin-1 excitation spectrum is predicted to localize at zero momentum transfer in the HO state which can be visualized, for example, by electron spin resonance (ESR) at zero magnetic field or polarized inelastic neutron scattering measurements. The results demonstrate that the concomitant broken and invariant symmetries protected SODW order not only provides insights into numerous nontrivial hidden-order phenomena, but also offers a parallel laboratory to the formation of a topologically protected quantum state beyond the quantum spin-Hall state and Weyl semimetals.

Adjusting chaotic indicators to curved spacetimes

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, chaotic indicators, which have been established in the framework of classical mechanics, are reformulated in the framework of general relativity in such a way that they are invariant under coordinate transformation. For achieving this, the prescription for reformulating mLCE given by [Y. Sota, S. Suzuki, and K.-I. Maeda, Classical Quantum Gravity 13, 1241 (1996)] is adopted. Thus, the geodesic deviation vector approach is applied, and the proper time is utilized as measure of time. Following the aforementioned prescription, the chaotic indicators FLI, MEGNO, GALI, and APLE are reformulated. In fact, FLI has been reformulated by adapting other prescriptions in the past, but not by adapting the Sota et al. one. By using one of these previous reformulations of FLI, an approximative expression giving MEGNO as function of FLI has been applied on non-integrable curved spacetimes in a recent work. In the present work the reformulation of MEGNO is provided by adjusting the definition of the indicator to the Sota et al. prescription. GALI, and APLE are reformulated in the framework of general relativity for the first time. All the reformulated indicators by the Sota et al. prescription are tested and compared for their efficiency to discern order from chaos.

description: Gauge stations are distributed along the Solimões/Amazonas main channel to monitor water level changes over time. Those measurements help quantify both the water movement and its variability from one gauge station to the next downstream. The objective of this study is to detect changes in the water level relationship between consecutive gauge stations along the Solimões/Amazonas main channel, since 1980. To carry out the analyses, data spanning from 1980 to 2010 from three consecutive gauges (Tefe, Manaus and Obidos) were used to compute standardized daily anomalies. In particular for infra-annual periods it was possible to detect changes for the water level variability along the Solimões/Amazonas main channel, by applying the Morlet Wavelet Transformation (WT) and Wavelet Cross Coherence (WCC) methods. It was possible to quantify the waves amplitude for the WT infra-annual scaled-period and were quite similar to the three gauge stations denoting that the water level variability are related to the same hydrological forcing functions. Changes in the WCC was detected for the Manaus-Obidos river stretch and this characteristic might be associated with land cover changes in the floodplains. The next steps of this research, will be to test this hypotheses by integrating land cover changes into the floodplain with hydrological modelling simulations throughout the time-series.

description: The luminosities of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) require an exotic solution with either super-critical accretion modes onto stellar mass black holes or sub-critical accretion onto intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) being invoked. Discriminating between the two is non-trivial due to the present lack of a direct mass measurement. A key expectation of the super-critical mode of accretion is the presence of powerful radiatively-driven winds. Here we analyse XMM-Newton data from NGC 5408 X-1 and NGC 6946 X-1 and find that strong soft residuals present in the X-ray spectra can be reconciled with broadened, blue-shifted absorption by a partially ionised, optically thin phase of this wind. We derive initial values for the physical parameters of the wind; we also discuss other possible origins for the observed features.

description: This study explores the genesis of the presence of the fetus in American culture by examining the evolution of American medical attitudes towards the unborn (1800-1865) in the lead up to the Physicians Crusade Against Abortion in the mid 19th century. Specifically, it analyzes how American allopathic physicians reconciled their denunciation of abortions for reproductive limitation with their approval of abortions for medical reasons, shedding light on how American physicians resolved maternal-fetal conflict. The study begins with an exploration of the medicalization of childbirth in the 18th century and how it created medical concern for the fetus. The forceps could spare the pregnant woman the craniotomy operation (collapse of the fetal skull) and save the fetus. However, not all cases of obstructed labour could be solved with the forceps, and as physicians displaced midwives as the principal birth attendants, they were confronted with the prospect of performing craniotomy on a live fetus. As they dreaded this outcome, they proposed two operations to circumvent it: the Caesarean section and induced premature labour. This shows that medicalization created concern for the fetus, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy. With new embryological research in the 1820s, concern for the fetus was extended to all stages of pregnancy and expressed itself in advice to women to guarantee a healthy child. The publication of Alfred Velpeau’s Principles of Tokology and Embryology was influential because it both normalized the fusion of embryology and obstetrics, and it justified recourse to early abortion in cases of contracted pelvises. Indications for the medical use of abortion began to multiply as a result of this shift, even as physicians denounced clandestine abortion and sought to criminalize it. This study argued the medical ideology of vitalism, as articulated by Xavier Bichat, was key in resolving maternal-fetal conflict in favour of the pregnant woman. Vitalism characterized fetuses as having the same functions as a plant and this lower level of functioning justified the sacrificing of fetal life in certain circumstances. Vitalism also viewed women to as having more sensibility, more cerebral activity, and more social ties. Therefore, women were viewed as the more deserving human being in maternal-fetal conflict.
Local $Tb$ theorem with $L^2$ testing conditions and general measures: Calderón-Zygmund operators

description: Local $Tb$ theorems with $L^p$ type testing conditions, which are not scale invariant, have been studied widely in the case of the Lebesgue measure. Until very recently, local $Tb$ theorems in the non-homogeneous case had only been proved assuming scale invariant ($L^{\infty}$ or BMO) testing conditions. The combination of non-scale-invariance and general measures is a delicate issue. In a previous paper we overcame this obstacle in the model case of square functions defined using general measures. In this paper we finally tackle the very demanding case of Calderón-Zygmund operators. That is, we prove a non-homogeneous local $Tb$ theorem with $L^2$ type testing conditions for all Calderón-Zygmund operators. In doing so we prove general twisted martingale transform inequalities which turn out to be subtle in our general framework.

description: We study information transmission over a fully correlated amplitude damping channel acting on two qubits. We derive the single-shot classical channel capacity and show that entanglement is needed to achieve the channel best performance. We discuss the degradability properties of the channel and evaluate the quantum capacity for any value of the noise parameter. We finally compute the entanglement-assisted classical channel capacity.

title: Modernist letters: the epistolary selves of Flaubert, Joyce, and Beckett
Creators: name: Ryan, Xander
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2026

description: This thesis analyses the letters of Flaubert, Joyce, and Beckett, arguing that their literary work was not only fuelled by epistolary dialogue but sometimes took place within it. I challenge ideas of authorial and textual autonomy, tracing them back to Flaubert’s principle of impersonality and its theoretical development in New Criticism, before arguing against the conventional characterisation of Joyce and Beckett as impersonal writers. I examine how the self is written in letters, identifying three salient characteristics: multiplicity, relationality, and materiality. I argue that Flaubert, Joyce, and Beckett’s experiences of writing and reading letters informed the way in which they represented self and subjectivity in their other texts. From Joyce’s epistolary corpus, I focus on his letters to his brother Stanislaus written from Rome in 1906 to 1907, looking at how the prevalence of financial and material detail shape his self-formative narratives. My discussion of Finnegans Wake focuses on Joyce’s extended pattern of allusions to Jonathan Swift’s letters to Rebecca Dingley and Esther Johnson (known as the Journal to Stella), using this intertextual link to illuminate the Wake’s wider epistolary theme. As part of my argument that letters should be treated as a literary text in their own right, I give a genetic analysis of one of Beckett’s letters to Pamela Mitchell, written in November 1953. By analysing Beckett’s process of revision from draft to final version, I interrogate the generic association of letters with spontaneity and unmediated self�expression. The final part of the thesis gives a close reading of Beckett’s letters to Barbara Bray written between 1956 and 1961. I show how Beckett reflects on the connection between dialogue and relational self-formation, themes which he then dramatizes in Happy Days.

The ‘Labour Hercules’: A study of the relationships between the Irish labour movement, the Irish Citizen Army and republicanism, 1913-23
Creators: name: Leddin, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: History, heritage and archaeology

description: This thesis examines the development of the Irish Citizen Army within the ten-year revolutionary situation from 1913 to 1923. It reveals the levels of sympathy and support held for it within the Irish republican spectrum and within the emergent Larkinist trade union movement. It also highlights the ICA’s own espousals for these two ideological paradigms as well as their military evolution. The thesis exposes the dynamic in which Dublin’s militant socialist republicans operated during the revolutionary decade. Through the use of a variety of newly released sources it fills a void in the current historiography of both the Irish question and the emergence of radical labour. The research concludes that while the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union and the Citizen Army shared a commonality of leadership from May 1914 to April 1916 this was not when they were the most closely aligned. With the primacy of republicanism established within Citizen Army aspirations in March 1914, the close patronage of the ITGWU in winter 1913 marked the point labour trade unionism and labour militarism were closest. A divergence in militancy led to a gradual cooling of their relationship, notably after the Easter Rising. Early animosity between the ICA and the Irish Volunteers centred on issues of class as well as the presence of moderate nationalists in the Volunteers. However, the ICA typically shared an ideological space with the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and remained supportive of the most belligerent nationalists up to and including the Irish Civil War. Through the continued propagation of revolutionary ideology in pre-rebellion Ireland, the commanding of three bases during Easter Week, and the implementation of a strategy of structural and resource support for the Irish Republican Army during the Anglo-Irish War of Independence, the ICA was able to offer a significant contribution to the struggle for independence which continuously belied its typically weak numerical and geographical remit. Through a systematic analysis of previously unseen sources the thesis presents a detailed periodization and contextualising of the development of the ICA within the wider revolutionary period.
Membrane potential based assay for SLC1A1 using HEK-293 SLC1A1 OE cells

description: FLIPR® membrane potential dye measures changes of charges across the cell membrane, upon activation of SLC1A1. The assay allows the detection of ion channel and transporter modulation by increasing or decreasing the fluorescent signal as cellular membrane potential changes. When cells are depolarized dye enters the cells, causing an increase in fluorescent signal, conversely, cells hyperpolarization results in dye exit and decreased fluorescence. SLC1A1 is a sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and L-aspartate/D-aspartate. It is also reported to mediate the transport of L-cysteine. It functions as symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na+ ions, thus it is an electrogenic transporter eligible to be studied using the membrane potential dye.

description: Precision measurement for the production of a $Z$-boson in association with two photons is important for investigating the Higgs boson and exploring new physics at the International Linear Collider. It could be used to study the $ZZγγ$ anomalous quartic gauge coupling. In this work we report on our calculation of the full ${\cal O} (α^4)$ contributions to the $e^+e^- \to Z γγ$ process in the standard model, and we analyze the electroweak (EW) quantum effects on the total cross section. We investigate the dependence of the $Zγγ$ production rate on the event selection scheme and provide distributions for some important kinematic observables. We find that the next-to-leading order (NLO) EW corrections can enhance the total cross section quantitatively from $2.32\%$ to $9.61\%$ when the colliding energy goes up from $250 GeV$ to $1 TeV$, and the NLO EW corrections show obviously a non trivial phase space dependence. We conclude that in studying the signal process $e^+e^- \to ZH \to Z γγ$, the background process $e^+e^- \to Z γγ$ can be suppressed significantly if we take appropriate kinematic cuts on the final products.

description: We show that any vacuum initial data set containing a marginally outer trapped surface S and satisfying a "no KIDs" condition can be perturbed near S so that S becomes strictly outer trapped in the new vacuum initial data set. This, together with the results in [9], gives a precise sense in which generic initial data containing marginally outer trapped surfaces lead to geodesically incomplete spacetimes.

description: We discuss a novel approach to "weighing" the Milky Way dark matter halo, one that combines the latest samples of halo stars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with state-of-the-art numerical simulations of Milky Way analogs. The fully cosmological runs employed in the present study include "Eris", one of the highest-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the formation of a M_vir=8e11 M_sun late-type spiral, and the dark-matter only M_vir=1.7e12 M_sun "Via Lactea II" simulation. Eris provides an excellent laboratory for creating mock SDSS samples of tracer halo stars, and we successfully compare their density, velocity anisotropy, and radial velocity dispersion profiles with the observational data. Most mock SDSS realizations show the same "cold veil" recently observed in the distant stellar halo of the Milky Way, with tracers as cold as sigma_los ~ 50 km/s between 100-150 kpc. Controlled experiments based on the integration of the spherical Jeans equation as well as a particle tagging technique applied to Via Lactea II show that a "heavy" M_vir 2e12 M_sun realistic host produces a poor fit to the kinematic SDSS data. We argue that these results offer added evidence for a "light," centrally-concentrated Milky Way halo.

description: When researchers and professionals try to retrieve stored analysis raw data, they usually face three major issues: data availability, missing (meta)data standardisation, and difficult query creation for database fetching. To ease these issues, in the framework of the Eosc-Pillar project, the cloud platform Tools for HEritage Science Processing, Integration, and ANalysis (THESPIAN) was developed. The first web service of the THESPIAN platform, THESPIAN-Mask, was developed to resolve the first two issues; it is a web-app for FAIR storage of scientific analysis on Cultural Heritage, and it is based on an hoc developed CIDOC-CRM-compatible ontology, CRMhs, describing the metadata of scientific files. To ease the third issue, and also to help the metadata generation process, an additional cloud-native tool was developed: THESPIAN-NER. It is a tool based on a deep neural network for Named Entity Recognition, enabling users to upload their Italian-written report files and obtain labelled named entities usable as keywords, either for (semi)automatically compose custom queries to the database, or fill (part of) the metadata form describing the file to be uploaded.

Intensity interferometry for observation of dark objects

description: We analyze an intensity interferometry measurement carried out with two point-like detectors facing a distant source (e.g., a star) that may be partially occluded by an absorptive object (e.g., a planet). Such a measurement, based on the perturbation of the observed covariance function due to the object's presence, can provide information of the object complementary to a direct optical intensity measurement. In particular, one can infer the orientation of the object's transient trajectory. We identify the key parameters that impact this perturbation and show that its magnitude is equal to the magnitude of the intensity variation caused by the same object. In astronomy applications, this value may be very small, so a differential measurement may be necessary. Finally, we discuss the signal-to-noise ratio that may be expected in this type of measurement.
