description: For many traits, including susceptibility to common diseases in humans, causal loci uncovered by genetic mapping studies explain only a minority of the heritable contribution to trait variation. Multiple explanations for this "missing heritability" have been proposed. Here we use a large cross between two yeast strains to accurately estimate different sources of heritable variation for 46 quantitative traits and to detect underlying loci with high statistical power. We find that the detected loci explain nearly the entire additive contribution to heritable variation for the traits studied. We also show that the contribution to heritability of gene-gene interactions varies among traits, from near zero to 50%. Detected two-locus interactions explain only a minority of this contribution. These results substantially advance our understanding of the missing heritability problem and have important implications for future studies of complex and quantitative traits.

Limiting geodesics for first-passage percolation on subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^2$

description: It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional first-passage percolation, the sequence of finite geodesics from any point to $(n,0)$ has a limit in $n$. In this paper, we consider this question for first-passage percolation on a wide class of subgraphs of $\mathbb {Z}^2$: those whose vertex set is infinite and connected with an infinite connected complement. This includes, for instance, slit planes, half-planes and sectors. Writing $x_n$ for the sequence of boundary vertices, we show that the sequence of geodesics from any point to $x_n$ has an almost sure limit assuming only existence of finite geodesics. For all passage-time configurations, we show existence of a limiting Busemann function. Specializing to the case of the half-plane, we prove that the limiting geodesic graph has one topological end; that is, all its infinite geodesics coalesce, and there are no backward infinite paths. To do this, we prove in the Appendix existence of geodesics for all product measures in our domains and remove the moment assumption of the Wehr-Woo theorem on absence of bigeodesics in the half-plane.

description: This paper presents a first approach to analyzing the factors that determine the citation characteristics of books. For this we use the Thomson Reuters' Book Citation Index, a novel multidisciplinary database launched in 2010 which offers bibliometric data of books. We analyze three possible factors which are considered to affect the citation impact of books: the presence of editors, the inclusion in series and the type of publisher. Also, we focus on highly cited books to see if these factors may affect them as well. We considered as highly cited books, those in the top 5% of the most highly cited ones of the database. We define these three aspects and we present the results for four major scientific areas in order to identify field-based differences (Science, Engineering & Technology, Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities). Finally we conclude observing that differences were noted for edited books and types of publishers. Although books included in series showed higher impact in two areas.

description: We investigate the heat equation corresponding to the Bessel operators on a symmetric cone $Ω=G/K$. These operators form a one-parameter family of elliptic self-adjoint second order differential operators and occur in the Lie algebra action of certain unitary highest weight representations. The heat kernel is explicitly given in terms of a multivariable $I$-Bessel function on $Ω$. Its corresponding heat kernel transform defines a continuous linear operator between $L^p$-spaces. The unitary image of the $L^2$-space under the heat kernel transform is characterized as a weighted Bergmann space on the complexification $G_{\mathbb C}/K_{\mathbb C}$ of $Ω$, the weight being expressed explicitly in terms of a multivariable $K$-Bessel function on $Ω$. Even in the special case of the symmetric cone $Ω=\mathbb{R}_+$ these results seem to be new.

description: Ever since the first pulsar was discovered by Bell and Hewish over 40 years ago, we've known that not only are pulsars fascinating and truly exotic objects, but that we can use them as powerful tools for basic physics and astrophysics as well. Taylor and Hulse hammered these views home with their discovery and timing of the spectacular "binary pulsar" in the 1970s and 1980s. In the last two decades a host of surprises and a promise of phenomenal scientific riches in the future has come from the millisecond pulsars. As our instrumentation has become more sensitive and better suited to measuring the pulses from these objects, they've given us new tests of general relativity, fantastic probes of the interstellar medium, constraints on the physics of ultra-dense matter, new windows into binary and stellar evolution, and the promise of a direct detection of gravitational waves. These things really are cool, and there is much more we will do with them in the future.

Selective Hydrogenation Reactions on Ag(111)and Pd/Ag(111) Single-Atom Alloy Surfaces

description: A new bimetallic catalyst is characterized using surface science techniques. The catalyst consists of individual Pd atoms dispersed on a Ag(111) host metal. Using infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, the Pd/Ag(111) single atom alloy (SAA) surface is investigated based on the Ag(111) temperature upon evaporation and annealing of the alloyed surface. The SAA surface was used to study the effects of atomic hydrogen adsorption and selective hydrogenation of acrolein and acetylene to 2-propenol and ethylene. Infrared spectroscopy was used to gain insight into the adsorption geometries of the reactants on the Ag(111) and Pd/Ag(111) SAA surface. Hydrogenation of acrolein and acetylene were studied using mass spectrometry to determine the conversion of the starting materials and the selectivity to the desired products. Based on our results, we show that dilute amounts of individual Pd atoms can have a profound effect on the reactivity for acrolein and acetylene with atomic hydrogen compared to that adsorbed on Ag(111).

description: Precise total cross-sections and invariant-mass distributions have been measured for photoproduction of pion pairs off the proton producing $pπ^0π^0$ and $nπ^+π^0$ final states from the threshold region up to 800 MeV incident photon energy. Additionally, beam helicity asymmetries have been measured in the second resonance region (550 MeV - 820 MeV). The experiment was performed at the tagged photon beam of the Mainz MAMI accelerator with the Crystal Ball and TAPS detectors combined to give an almost 4$π$ solid-angle electromagnetic calorimeter. The results are much more precise than any previous measurements and confirm the chiral perturbation theory predictions for the threshold behavior of these reactions. In the second resonance region, the invariant-mass distributions of meson-meson and meson-nucleon pairs are in reasonable agreement with model predictions, but none of the models reproduce the asymmetries for the mixed-charge channel.

description: We present a general framework for matching the point-spread function (PSF), photometric scaling, and sky background between two images, a subject which is commonly referred to as difference image analysis (DIA). We introduce the new concept of a spatially varying photometric scale factor which will be important for DIA applied to wide-field imaging data in order to adapt to transparency and airmass variations across the field-of-view. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to separately control the degree of spatial variation of each kernel basis function, the photometric scale factor, and the differential sky background. We discuss the common choices for kernel basis functions within our framework, and we introduce the mixed-resolution delta basis functions to address the problem of the size of the least-squares problem to be solved when using delta basis functions. We validate and demonstrate our algorithm on simulated and real data. We also describe a number of useful optimisations that may be capitalised on during the construction of the least-squares matrix and which have not been reported previously. We pay special attention to presenting a clear notation for the DIA equations which are set out in a way that will hopefully encourage developers to tackle the implementation of DIA software.

description: Methods of protein engineering and mutation to achieve selective and designed enzymatic function are often challenged by issues with foldamer stability. Molecular nanocages present an exciting new opportunity for biomimetic-defined cavities capable of biomolecule recognition and catalysis. While many different types of molecular cages exist, covalent organic molecular cages offer great flexibility and control over the design of the cage. Furthermore, the covalent linkages provide a robust framework resistant to degradation and stable in many chemical environments. Lastly, covalent organic cages may be designed for the precise placement of functional groups, including group placement inside the cage cavity for molecular recognition and binding. I report our recent advances in developing new synthetic methods for robust organic molecular cages with well-defined cavities and tunable functions for artificial enzyme catalysis and recognition. The basic design philosophy for such protein-mimetic structures will be introduced for the scalable synthesis of these macromolecules. Herein, we report two approaches to a [8+12] triazine-linked organic cage and a similar [8+12] triazine and boroxine-linked cage. While our first approach attempts a kinetically controlled tethered cage formation, our second method relies on the principles of dynamic covalent chemistry in the thermodynamically controlled self-assembly of the final cage structure.

description: En septembre 1975, le Conseiller fédéral en charge des affaires étrangères, Pierre Graber, décide de rappeler «pour consultations» son Ambassadeur à Madrid, en guise de protestation contre les exécutions sommaires du régime franquiste agonisant. Il crée un précédent tantôt salué – au nom des valeurs humanitaires de la Suisse –, tantôt décrié – au nom de la neutralité, alors encore synonyme d’abstention. Première étape de «manifestation officielle» d’un désaccord en matière d’affaires internationales, le rappel pour consultations est un des instruments permettant de signifier une divergence dans l’arsenal diplomatique des États. Si son utilisation en 1975 questionne la pratique de la politique étrangère suisse, elle ne consacre guère le rappel pour consultations comme instrument fécond de la diplomatie suisse.
description: In September 1975, the Swiss Minister of foreign affairs, Federal Councillor Pierre Graber, decides to recall his Ambassador in Madrid «for consultations» as a protest against the summary executions carried out by the dying Franco regime. He sets a precedent both commended – in the name of Switzerland’s humanitarian values – and denounced – in the name of the neutrality, back then still defined as abstention. As the first «official manifestation» of disagreement in international affairs, the recall for consultations is one of the instruments that States have in their diplomatic arsenal to express a divergence. Although its use in 1975 questions Swiss foreign policy practice, it does not establish the call for consultations as a fruitful tool of Swiss diplomacy.

description: We present an important contribution to the non-commutative approach to the hydrogen atom to deal with lamb shift corrections. This can be done by studying the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in a non-commutative space-time up to first-order of the non-commutativity parameter using the Seiberg-Witten maps. We thus find the non-commutative modification of the energy levels and by comparing with the the current experimental results on the Lamb shift of the 2P level to extract a bound on the parameter of non-commutativity, we show that the fundamental length ($\sqrtΘ$) is compatible with the value of the electroweak length scale ($l$). Phenomenologically, this effectively confirms the presence of gravity at this level.

description: It is thought that neutron stars in low-mass binary systems can accrete matter and angular momentum from the companion star and be spun-up to millisecond rotational periods. During the accretion stage, the system is called a low-mass X-ray binary, and bright X-ray emission is observed. When the rate of mass transfer decreases in the later evolutionary stages, these binaries host a radio millisecond pulsar whose emission is powered by the neutron star's rotating magnetic field. This evolutionary model is supported by the detection of millisecond X-ray pulsations from several accreting neutron stars and also by the evidence for a past accretion disc in a rotation-powered millisecond pulsar. It has been proposed that a rotation-powered pulsar may temporarily switch on during periods of low mass inflow in some such systems. Only indirect evidence for this transition has hitherto been observed. Here we report observations of accretion-powered, millisecond X-ray pulsations from a neutron star previously seen as a rotation-powered radio pulsar. Within a few days after a month-long X-ray outburst, radio pulses were again detected. This not only shows the evolutionary link between accretion and rotation-powered millisecond pulsars, but also that some systems can swing between the two states on very short timescales.

description: In this article, we prove convergence of the weakly penalized adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods. Unlike other works, we derive the contraction property for various discontinuous Galerkin methods only assuming the stabilizing parameters are large enough to stabilize the method. A central idea in the analysis is to construct an auxiliary solution from the discontinuous Galerkin solution by a simple post processing. Based on the auxiliary solution, we define the adaptive algorithm which guides to the convergence of adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods.

description:
Community plays a critical role in human life and this project explores community on multiple levels, both through exploration of a historic socialist community, the Equality Colony, and through its use of the community archaeology method. In 1897 the Brotherhood of the Cooperative Commonwealth, a Maine based socialist political group, put out a call to its membership of over 2,000 people across the nation to move to Washington State. Their long term goal was to win the heart of the state for American socialism. The short term goal was to establish a colony to demonstrate the utility of socialist living to the country. The long term goal was never realized; the short term goal resulted in the formation of the Equality Colony, which existed in Skagit County, Washington from 1897 to 1907. The Equality Colony has received some attention from historians but this is the first archaeological investigation. In fact, there has been little archaeological research of utopian communities in the Northwest region at all. By apply a strong anthropological theoretical framework; this project brings a new perspective and new insight to this fascinating piece of history and lays groundwork for archaeological survey on the former Equality Colony land. Historical research, including analysis of recorded interviews with former Equality Colony members and descendents, as well as historic photographs, maps, and documents, was utilized to both gain new insight into the Equality Colony history and to generate archaeological research questions. In the course of this project a wealth of information pertinent to the creation of an archaeological research design was compiled and explored. Work with a variety of maps and aerial photographs succeeded in locating the former Equality Colony infrastructure on the modern landscape. The Equality Colony land is privately owned today and archaeological survey(s) of this land cannot be carried out without landowner cooperation. This thesis project utilized the community archaeology method to lay the groundwork for archaeological survey. Community archaeology is the purposeful engagement of a community, most often the local and/or descendant community, in an archaeological project. Community engagement activities for this project included mail correspondence with the landowners, public talks, a landowner meeting, and various other community interactions. Through landowner engagement I was able to do the first ever archaeological survey on a portion of the historic Equality Colony site. The community archaeological method is being increasingly utilized but best practice guidelines have yet to be established. By documenting my own community archaeology process I hope to contribute to the growing body of work from which guidelines may be created.
title: Exploring a ring-closing metathesis approach to the archazolids
Creators: name: King, Brianne R.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
The archazolids are a complex family of natural products with distinct structural features. Inspired by these unique structural characteristics, our group sought to synthesize an analogue of this family, dihydroarchazolid B. We were encouraged to synthesize this analogue due to its high potential to be a potent cytotoxic agent against the vacuolar-type ATPases (V-ATPases) and because it is a simpler analogue than the parent natural products from a synthetic perspective. Within this work, a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) approach was explored in depth towards the completion of our target. From these efforts, a metathesis deactivating stereotriad was uncovered in a key fragment needed for ring closure. Using the knowledge uncovered in our synthetic endeavors, a possible relay-ring closure event is discussed. The synthetic utility of exploring the effects of contiguous remote functionality on alkene reactivity is also demonstrated as knowledge of this type will better inform our future synthetic challenges.

description: Data traffic between the CPU and the memory is the bottleneck for the processor’s perfor- mance: the Logic in Memory approach breaks down this wall. Memory becomes much more than a storage device: it’s able to perform logic operations directly inside it. So, this approach shifts the processor architecture from a CPU center to another one where the processor is not involved in every computation. The space of logic in memory has been explored for years, with several different approaches. This thesis work explores the logic in memory with a modular approach called LEGO-Like approach.

description: Intrinsic galaxy alignments constitute the major astrophysical systematic of forthcoming weak gravitational lensing surveys but also yield unique insights into galaxy formation and evolution. We build analytic models for the distribution of galaxy shapes based on halo properties extracted from the Millennium Simulation, differentiating between early- and late-type galaxies as well as central galaxies and satellites. The resulting ellipticity correlations are investigated for their physical properties and compared to a suite of current observations. The best-faring model is then used to predict the intrinsic alignment contamination of planned weak lensing surveys. We find that late-type galaxy models generally have weak intrinsic ellipticity correlations, marginally increasing towards smaller galaxy separation and higher redshift. The signal for early-type models at fixed halo mass strongly increases by three orders of magnitude over two decades in galaxy separation, and by one order of magnitude from z=0 to z=2. The intrinsic alignment strength also depends strongly on halo mass, but not on galaxy luminosity at fixed mass, or galaxy number density in the environment. We identify models that are in good agreement with all observational data, except that all models over-predict alignments of faint early-type galaxies. The best model yields an intrinsic alignment contamination of a Euclid-like survey between 0.5-10% at z>0.6 and on angular scales larger than a few arcminutes. Cutting 20% of red foreground galaxies using observer-frame colours can suppress this contamination by up to a factor of two.

description: We study electron spin relaxation in one-dimensional structures of finite length in the presence of Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit coupling and boundary spin relaxation. Using a spin kinetic equation approach, we formulate boundary conditions for the case of a partial spin polarization loss at the boundaries. These boundary conditions are used to derive corresponding boundary conditions for spin drift-diffusion equation. The later is solved analytically for the case of relaxation of a homogeneous spin polarization in 1D finite length structures. It is found that the spin relaxation consists of three stages (in some cases, two) -- an initial D'yakonov-Perel' relaxation is followed by spin helix formation and its subsequent decay. Analytical expressions for the decay time are found. We support our analytical results by results of Monte Carlo simulations.

description: This paper examines the process of self-reflexivity, self-determination, and agency within the context of a moon circle ritual. This is a practice arising in contemporary society that seems to intersect across different “alternative” communities such as Wiccan groups, neopagan groups, alternative medicinal practitioners (doulas, massage therapists, and acupuncturists), feminist groups, women business owners and members of higher academia. This paper explores the ways that self-knowledge and reflexivity form the building blocks of healing within the horizon of the moral good for participants and are constitutive of the participants living a “good life”. The discussion reveals that although there does not exist a radical separation of the mediated and unmediated, the inherent indeterminacy of culture allows the potentiality of undefined experience to exist. Undefined experience is revealed during moon circles and is utilized to produce the normative self-determination present in much of contemporary society’s discourse on the “good life”.

description: A classical conjecture in transformation group theory states that if $G=(\bbZ/p)^r$ acts freely on a product of $k$ spheres $S^{n_1} \times ... \times S^{n_k}$, then $r\leq k$. We prove this conjecture in the case where the average of the dimensions ${n_i}$ is large compared to the differences $|n_i-n_j|$ between the dimensions.

description: The emergence of large-scale magnetic fields observed in the diffuse interstellar medium is explained by a turbulent dynamo. The underlying transport coefficients have previously been extracted from numerical simulations. So far, this was restricted to the kinematic regime, but we aim to extend our analysis into the realm of dynamically important fields. This marks an important step on which derived mean-field models rely to explain observed equipartition strength fields. As in previous work, we diagnose turbulent transport coefficients by means of the test-field method. We derive quenching functions for the dynamo α effect, diamagnetic pumping, and turbulent diffusivity, which are compared with theoretical expectations. At late times, we observe the suppression of the vertical wind. Because this potentially affects the removal of small-scale magnetic helicity, new concerns arise about circumventing constraints imposed by the conservation of magnetic helicity at high magnetic Reynolds numbers. While present results cannot safely rule out this possibility, the issue only becomes important at late stages and is absent when the dynamo is quenched by the wind itself.

description: There are several equivalent characterizations of the valuation rank of an ordered or valued field. In this paper, we extend the theory to the case of an ordered or valued {\it difference} field (that is, ordered or valued field endowed with a compatible field automorphism). We introduce the notion of {\it difference rank}. To treat simultaneously the cases of ordered and valued fields, we consider quasi-ordered fields. We characterize the difference rank as the quotient modulo the equivalence relation naturally induced by the automorphism (which encodes its growth rate). In analogy to the theory of convex valuations, we prove that any linearly ordered set can be realized as the difference rank of a maximally valued quasi-ordered difference field. As an application, we show that for every regular uncountable cardinal $κ$ such that $κ= κ^{< κ}$, there are $2^κ$ pairwise non-isomorphic quasi-ordered difference fields of cardinality $κ$, but all isomorphic as quasi-ordered fields.

The role of metrical structure in tonal knowledge acquisition
Creators: name: Rosenthal, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Experienced listeners possess a working knowledge of pitch structure in Western music, such as scale, key, harmony, and tonality, which develops gradually throughout childhood. It is commonly assumed that tonal representations are acquired through exposure to the statistics of music, but few studies have investigated potential learning mechanisms directly. In Western tonal music, tonally stable pitches not only have a higher overall frequency of occurrence, but they may occur more frequently at strong than weak metrical positions, providing two potential avenues for tonal learning. Two experiments employed an artificial grammar learning paradigm to examine tonal learning mechanisms. During a familiarization phase, we exposed nonmusician adult listeners to a long (whole tone scale) sequence with certain distributional properties. In a subsequent test phase we examined listeners' learning using grammaticality or probe tone judgments. In the grammaticality task, participants indicated which of two short test sequences conformed to the familiarization sequence. In the probe tone task, participants provided fit ratings for individual probe tones following short "reminder" sequences. Experiment 1 examined learning from overall frequency of occurrence. Grammaticality judgments were significantly above chance (Exp. 1a), and probe tone ratings were predicted by frequency of occurrence (Exp. 1b). In Experiment 2 we presented a familiarization sequence containing one sub-set of pitches that occurred more frequently on strong than on weak metrical positions and another sub-set that did the opposite. Overall frequency of occurrence was balanced between both sub-sets. Grammaticality judgments were again above chance (Exp. 2a) and probe tone ratings were higher for pitches occurring on strong metrical positions (Exp. 2b). These findings implicate metrical structure in tonal knowledge acquisition.

description: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) have attracted worldwide attention in order to solve the energy crisis and global warming. In this work, we have investigated the ORR and CO2RR activity of Fe-porphyrin carbon material (FeN4-C) by using the density functional method. The catalytic active sites are identified based on the charge transfer analysis and it is found that FeN4 moiety and its adjacent eight C atoms are the active centre. ORR proceeds via a four-electron process. The OOH hydrogenation into O + H2O is the most favourable pathway with the rate-determining step to be the formation of OOH. The energy barrier is 0.09 eV, much smaller than 0.56 eV for FeN4 doped graphene and 0.80 eV for pure Pt. The predicted working potential is 0.52 V, larger than 0.35 V for FeN4 doped graphene. For CO2RR, CO2 tends to be reduced to HCHO and CH3OH with the limiting potential of −0.62 V. HCOOH is the minor product. In a word, the above results suggested that FeN4-C is a promising bifunctional electrocatalyst for both ORR and CO2RR.

description: Supernova remnants are among the most spectacular examples of astrophysical pistons in our cosmic neighborhood. The gas expelled by the supernova explosion is launched with velocities ~ 1000 km/s into the ambient, tenuous interstellar medium, producing shocks that excite hydrogen lines. We have used an optical integral-field spectrograph to obtain high-resolution spatial-spectral maps that allow us to study in detail the shocks in the northwestern rim of supernova 1006. The two-component Hα line is detected at 133 sky locations. Variations in the broad line widths and the broad-to-narrow line intensity ratios across tens of atomic mean free paths suggest the presence of suprathermal protons, the potential seed particles for generating high-energy cosmic-rays.
