description: Answering some of the main questions from [MR13], we show that whenever $κ$ is a cardinal satisfying $κ^{< κ} = κ> ω$, then the embeddability relation between $κ$-sized structures is strongly invariantly universal, and hence complete for ($κ$-)analytic quasi-orders. We also prove that in the above result we can further restrict our attention to various natural classes of structures, including (generalized) trees, graphs, or groups. This fully generalizes to the uncountable case the main results of [LR05,FMR11,Wil14,CMR17].

description: We derive a Kubo-like formula for the thermal Hall conductance of a 2d lattice systems which is free from ambiguities associated with the definition of energy magnetization. We use it to define a relative topological invariant of gapped 2d lattice systems at zero temperature. Up to a numerical factor, it can be identified with the difference of chiral central charges for the corresponding edge modes. This establishes the bulk-boundary correspondence for the chiral central charge. We also show that for any Local Commuting Projector Hamiltonian the relative chiral central charge vanishes, while for free fermionic systems it is related to the zero-temperature electric Hall conductance via the Wiedemann-Franz law.

description: Reconnection is the process by which magnetic fields in a conducting fluid change their topology. This process is essential for understanding a wide variety of astrophysical processes, including stellar and galactic dynamos and astrophysical turbulence. To account for solar flares, solar cycles and the structure of the galactic magnetic field reconnection must be fast, propagating with a speed close to the Alfven speed. We show that the presence of a random magnetic field component substantially enhances the reconnection rate and enables fast reconnection, i.e. reconnection that does not depend on fluid resistivity. The enhancement of the reconnection rate is achieved via a combination of two effects. First of all, only small segments of magnetic field lines are subject to direct Ohmic annihilation. Thus the fraction of magnetic energy that goes directly into fluid heating goes to zero as fluid resistivity vanishes. However, the most important enhancement comes from the fact that unlike the laminar fluid case where reconnection is constrained to proceed line by line, the presence of turbulence enables many magnetic field lines to enter the reconnection zone simultaneously. A significant fraction of magnetic energy goes into MHD turbulence and this enhances reconnection rates through an increase in the field stochasticity. In this way magnetic reconnection becomes fast when field stochasticity is accounted for. As a consequence solar and galactic dynamos are also fast, i.e. do not depend on fluid resistivity.

description: Deregulation of the normal cellular apoptotic function is a fundamental element in the etiology of most cancers and the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL‑2) protein family is known to play crucial role in the regulation of this function. Overexpression of this protein family has been implicated in some cancers, such that agents that could inhibit their over-activity are now being explored for anticancer drug development. A number of studies have revealed the anticancer potential of Morinda lucida-derived extracts and compounds. In search of more inhibitors of this anti-apoptotic protein family from plant resources, 47 compounds, identified in Morinda lucida Benth (Rubiaceae) were screened for their inhibitory activities against BCL-XL, BCL-2, and MCL-1 by molecular docking using BINDSURF, while binding interactions of the top compounds were viewed with PyMOL. Druglikeness and Absorption–Distribution–Metabolism–Excretion (ADME) parameters of the top 6 compounds from docking study were evaluated using SuperPred webserver. Results revealed that out of the 47 compounds, 2 triterpenes (ursolic acid and oleanolic acid) and 4 phytosterols (cycloartenol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol) have higher binding affinities for the selected BCL-2 proteins, compared to known standard inhibitors; these compounds also fulfill oral drugability of Lipinski rule of five. Therefore, since these Morinda lucida-derived phytosterols and triterpenes show high binding affinity toward the selected anti-apoptotic proteins and exhibited good drugability characteristics, they qualify for further study on drug development against cancers characterized by overexpression of this family of protein.

Codon Pair Bias Is a Direct Consequence of Dinucleotide Bias

description: Codon pair bias is a remarkably stable characteristic of a species. Although functionally uncharacterized, robust virus attenuation was achieved by recoding of viral proteins using underrepresented codon pairs. Because viruses replicate exclusively inside living cells, we posited that their codon pair preferences reflect those of their host(s). Analysis of many human viruses showed, however, that the encoding of viruses is influenced only marginally by host codon pair preferences. Furthermore, examination of codon pair preferences of vertebrate, insect, and arthropod-borne viruses revealed that the latter do not utilize codon pairs overrepresented in arthropods more frequently than other viruses. We found, however, that codon pair bias is a direct consequence of dinucleotide bias. We conclude that codon pair bias does not play a major role in the encoding of viral proteins and that virus attenuation by codon pair deoptimization has the same molecular underpinnings as attenuation based on an increase in CpG/TpA dinucleotides.

description: A study of the artificial neural network representation of quantum many-body states is presented. The locality and entanglement properties of states for shallow and deep quantum neural networks are investigated in detail. By introducing the notion of local quasi-product states, for which the locally connected shallow feed-forward neural network states and restricted Boltzmann machine states are special cases, we show that Rényi entanglement entropies of all these states obey the entanglement area law. Besides, we also investigate the entanglement features of deep Boltzmann machine states and show that locality constraints imposed on the neural networks make the states obey the entanglement area law. Finally, as an application, we apply the notion of Rényi entanglement entropy to understanding the power of neural networks and show that image classification problems which can be efficiently solved must obey the area law.

description: This project examines the fraught diplomatic and commercial relations between Tokugawa Japan (1600–1868) and the Habsburg Spanish empire in the early seventeenth century. Vessels from Japan called at the port of Acapulco in New Spain three times within a decade, the first attempt in world history at a bilateral commercial relationship across the Pacific. In doing so, the ships also challenged the Spanish monopoly over the waterways between Latin America and Asia. Japanese commercial and diplomatic outreach peaked with the Keichō Embassy to Southern Europe (1613–1620), an effort that dispatched Japanese representatives to the court of Philip III in Madrid, but failed in its mission to secure regular contact between New Spain and northeastern Japan. In analyzing these events, I contrast Japan’s pursuit of commercial and diplomatic expansion with Spanish ambivalence and insularity, inverting essentializing narratives defined by Japanese isolation and European engagement. The project also compares the diplomatic models employed by each polity. I argue that Spain’s established imperial vision and the shogunate’s emerging hierarchical model of foreign relations placed each polity at the pinnacle of their respective diplomatic frameworks, handicapping efforts to communicate, build trust, and integrate each into the worldview of the other. Ultimately, a Spanish policy of containment closed off the Americas to Japan; soon after, the Tokugawa divested from its relationship with the Spanish Philippines in the face of alternative commercial partners and ongoing religious tension. The project thus integrates Japanese history into world history and the history of the Pacific, while questioning the notion of a straightforward commitment to expansion among Europe’s early-modern empires.

description: Aims: This paper presents 2.5D numerical experiments of Alfvén wave phase mixing and aims to assess the effects of nonlinearities on wave behaviour and dissipation. In addition, this paper aims to quantify how effective the model presented in this work is at providing energy to the coronal volume. Methods: The model is presented and explored through the use of several numerical experiments which were carried out using the Lare2D code. The experiments study footpoint driven Alfvén waves in the neighbourhood of a two-dimensional x-type null point with initially uniform density and plasma pressure. A continuous sinusoidal driver with a constant frequency is used. Each experiment uses different driver amplitudes to compare weakly nonlinear experiments with linear experiments. Results: We find that the wave trains phase-mix owing to variations in the length of each field line and variations in the field strength. The nonlinearities reduce the amount of energy entering the domain, as they reduce the effectiveness of the driver, but they have relatively little effect on the damping rate (for the range of amplitudes studied). The nonlinearities produce density structures which change the natural frequencies of the field lines and hence cause the resonant locations to move. The shifting of the resonant location causes the Poynting flux associated with the driver to decrease. Reducing the magnetic diffusivity increases the energy build-up on the resonant field lines, however, it has little effect on the total amount of energy entering the system. From an order of magnitude estimate, we show that the Poynting flux in our experiments is comparable to the energy requirements of the quiet Sun corona. However a (possibly unphysically) large amount of magnetic diffusion was used however and it remains unclear if the model is able to provide enough energy under actual coronal conditions.

description: It is shown that the non-trivial cocycles on simple Lie algebras may be used to introduce antisymmetric multibrackets which lead to higher-order Lie algebras, the definition of which is given. Their generalised Jacobi identities turn out to be satisfied by the antisymmetric tensors (or higher-order `structure constants') which characterise the Lie algebra cocycles. This analysis allows us to present a classification of the higher-order simple Lie algebras as well as a constructive procedure for them. Our results are synthesised by the introduction of a single, complete BRST operator associated with each simple algebra.

description: The increasing tendency to develop integration in electronic devices lead to the demand for thermally conductive polymeric materials. We offered a simple synthetic route to thermally conductive polybenzoxazine thermosets bearing liquid crystalline structures without the addition of any filler. Benzoxazine monomer of BZ-COOH was synthesized via Mannich reaction of p-hydroxy benzoic acid, p-formaldehyde, and dodecyl amine. After ring-opening polymerization of BZ-COOH, the obtained benzoxazine oligomer of OBZ-COOH was converted into acetoxy-bearing benzoxazine oligomer of OBZ-AC. Through self-crosslinking reaction of acetoxy group and carboxyl group in OBZ-AC using Zn(CH3COO)2 as a catalyst, the polybenzoxazine thermosets of OBZ-PES were produced. The liquid crystalline behavior of OBZ-AC was studied by POM, SAXS, and DSC. The results show that OBZ-AC formed the LC mesophase during isothermal and non-isothermal curing. The LC mesophase displays a layered arrangement of the smectic C phase. The formation mechanism is esterification reaction-induced. Owing to the formation of liquid crystalline structure, the TC of OBZ-PES is found to be 0.284 W/m. K, which is 21% and 16% greater than those of OBZ-COOH and OBZ-AC, respectively. In addition, the OBZ-PES shows excellent thermal performance. Its Tg(G”) is up to 269°C. Its 5% weight loss temperature (Td5) and 10% weight loss temperature (Td10) are 383°C and 410°C, respectively.

We end with the computation of the top Segre classes of tautological bundles associated to line bundles on Hilb^n up to n=7, and give a conjecture for the generating series.

description: This study empirically investigates the effectiveness of international environmental agreements (IEA). Although there exists large number of empirical studies regarding IEA effectiveness, much of those studies focus on ratification decisions and regulated environmental behaviors at country level. This approach, however, is limited for investigating the attributes of different treaties and identifying factors affecting the success of IEA. To avoid this limitation, this study develops a treaty-level panel data including 14 environmental agreements adopted and entered into force last 20 years. This aggregated approach enables to look further insights regarding the attributes of each IEA, and identify the factors significantly affecting the effectiveness of agreements. From our results, several treaty-specific attributes are shown to be significant. Specifically, sanction for non- compliance is the most influential inducement for the effectiveness of IEA. A mechanism of financial assistance for less-capable developing countries is also found to be positive inducement, but mechanism of technical assistance is not significant at any statistical levels. Our results also indicate that involving larger number of countries, especially large-scale fast-growing developing countries such as BRICs, is another significant factor. Although this is not compatible with a strict sanction for non-compliance, introducing well-designed financial mechanism may be one of possible solutions for this incompatibility problem and making the IEA more attractive and effective.

description: Active targeting nanoparticles were developed to simultaneously codeliver tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and Curcumin (Cur). In the nanoparticles (TRAIL-Cur-NPs), TRAIL was used as both active targeting ligand and therapeutic agent, and Cur could upregulate death receptors (DR4 and DR5) to increase the apoptosis-inducing effects of TRAIL. Compared with corresponding free drugs, TRAIL-Cur-NPs group showed enhanced cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction effect on HCT116 colon cancer cells. In addition, in vivo anticancer studies suggested that TRAIL-Cur-NPs had superior therapeutic effect on tumors without obvious toxicity, which was mainly due to the high tumor targeting and synergistic effect of TRAIL and Cur. The synergistic mechanism of improved antitumor efficacy was proved to be upregulation of DR4 and DR5 in tumor cells induced by Cur. Thus, the prepared codelivery nanoparticles may have potential applications in colorectal cancer therapy.

description: A major focus of charter school research has been the potential impact of increased school choice on student sorting by race/ethnicity and socio-economic status. Researchers have argued that charter schools may increase segregation by allowing families to separate into more homogeneous school communities. Yet surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role charter schools themselves may play in determining student enrollments. Emerging evidence suggests that charter schools may frequently take into account nearby educational and demographic characteristics when choosing school locations and avoid neighborhoods with high-proportions of at-risk students who are more costly and challenging to educate. While this behavior is not incompatible with traditional notions of how education marketplaces function, such "positioning strategies" serve as important reminders that charter schools benefit most by locating in areas where they hold clear competitive advantages, not necessarily areas of greatest demand or educational need. In this dissertation, I examined the potential for New Jersey charter schools to effectively distribute educational opportunities to all students, particularly those most frequently targeted by previous approaches to school reform, across varied and often segregated landscapes. Drawing on rational choice theory and previous research into the profit maximizing behavior of firms, I argued that charter schools have strong incentives to locate in areas that allow them to effectively balance consumer demand with the potential negative effects of increased competition in high needs areas. I used geographic information systems (GIS) and logistic regression to map the location of charter schools in New Jersey and examine potential associations with supply side factors. New Jersey's charter school supply showed two distinct clustering patterns. First, charter schools tended to circle Abbott districts or low-performing school districts in a narrow five mile band characterized by greater educational need and, presumably, consumer demand. Second, charter schools in Abbott districts tended to circle, but not locate within, neighborhoods with higher levels of educational and economic disadvantage, and particularly neighborhoods with higher proportions of African American residents. Logistic regression confirmed statistically significant associations among charter school clusters and proxies for market demand, educational need, and neighborhood diversity, although estimates for race/ethnicity were less conclusive. Further analysis indicated that observed clustering patterns were primarily driven by more market savvy or entrepreneurial schools partnered with charter management organizations (CMOs).

The analysis also implies that one expects an observation of the $K\bar K$ final states from the $σ_B$ which may compete (if phase space allowed) with the one from a low mass $\bar ss$ state assumed in the literature to be the SU(3) partner of the observed $σ(0.6)$ if the latter is a $\bar uu+\bar dd$ state

description: We study the generation of magnetic fields during the stage of particle production resulting from spinodal instabilities during phase transitions out of equilibrium. The main premise is that long-wavelength instabilities that drive the phase transition lead to strong non-equilibrium charge and current fluctuations which generate electromagnetic fields. We present a formulation based on the non-equilibrium Schwinger-Dyson equations that leads to an exact expression for the spectrum of electromagnetic fields valid for general theories and cosmological backgrounds and whose main ingredient is the transverse photon polarization out of equilibrium. This formulation includes the dissipative effects of the conductivity in the medium. As a prelude to cosmology we study magnetogenesis in Minkowski space-time in a theory of N charged scalar fields to lowest order in the gauge coupling and to leading order in the large N within two scenarios of cosmological relevance. The long-wavelength power spectrum for electric and magnetic fields at the end of the phase transition is obtained explicitly. It follows that equipartition between electric and magnetic fields does not hold out of equilibrium. In the case of a transition from a high temperature phase, the conductivity of the medium severely hinders the generation of magnetic fields, however the magnetic fields generated are correlated on scales of the order of the domain size, which is much larger than the magnetic diffusion length. Implications of the results to cosmological phase transitions driven by spinodal unstabilities are discussed.

A research agenda about the connections between environmental challenges and the deepening of inequalities in Latin America is supposed to address several aspects. At the outset, one must recognize that phenomena associated with inequality are more relevant than those linked to poverty alone, which, in addition to its intrinsic importance to the social sciences, carries immediate implications to the formulation of adequate public policies. Likewise, one also needs to replace the focus on the economic aspects of inequality, and explore its non-economic aspects, which are directly tied to the complexity of the social relations and much more akin to the goals of the network. Hence, the proposed research agenda pays special attention to consumption patterns and their growing inter-regional homogenization, because among other aspects, these reveal interdependent variables embedded in recent inequality trends. In fact, making use of consumption patterns allows one to analyze key processes unfolding today, especially their interrelationship with other phenomena and processes, such as globalization, the differences between situations of inequality in national and local levels, the predominance of increasingly speculative financial capital, not linked to production and thus decoupled from the real economy, as well as key actors who are behind in these processes and who turn these into structural causes of deepening inequalities in Latin America and elsewhere.

description: Cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is anticipated to have applications such as blue light and ultraviolet (UV) light blocking for human skin owing to its selective wavelength reflection against incident sunlight through several hundred nanometres of a periodic helical twist structure. In this study, we investigated short chiral pitch control and enlargement of the blue phase (BP) temperature range by adding an achiral constituent of 4-n-octylbenzoic acid (8 BA) into CLC mixtures composed of three kinds of cholesteryl compounds: cholesteryl chloride, cholesteryl pelargonate and cholesteryl palmitate. Hydrogen bonding dependence of chiral pitch and BP temperature range were also investigated for achiral dopant (8 BA) and CLC mixture through temperature-dependent Fourier-transform infrared analysis. It was found that 40 wt% of 8 BA within the CLC mixture selectively reflected UV and blue light over 360–400 nm with a decrease of chiral pitch. It was also found that the BP temperature range increased by 15.6°C owing to hydrogen bond dimers composed of 8 BA molecules in the CLC mixture.

description: We study cascade decays of heavy neutral Higgs bosons through vectorlike quarks. We focus on scenarios where decay modes into pairs of vectorlike quarks are not kinematically open which extends the sensitivity of the LHC to larger masses. Assuming only mixing with the third family of standard model quarks the new decay modes of heavy Higgs bosons are: $H\to t_4 t \to Wbt, Zt t, ht t$ and $H\to b_4 b \to Wtb, Zb b, hb b$, where $t_4$ ($b_4$) is the new up-type (down-type) quark mass eigenstate. In the numerical analysis we assume the CP even Higgs boson in the two Higgs doublet model type-II but the signatures are relevant for many other scenarios. We identify the region of the parameter space where these decay modes are significant or can even dominate, and thus they provide the best opportunities for the simultaneous discovery of a new Higgs boson and vectorlike quarks. We further explore the reach of the High Luminosity LHC for two representative decay modes, $t_4\to Zt\to\ell\ell t$ and $b_4\to Zb\to\ell\ell b$, and found that cross sections at a 0.1 fb level can be probed with simple cut based analyses. We also find that the rates for Higgs cascade decays can be much larger than the rates for a single production of vectorlike quarks. Furthermore, the reach for vectorlike quarks in Higgs cascade decays and pair production extends to comparable masses.

title: Reading The Law Made Strange: A Theological Jurisprudence of Popular Culture

description: This thesis elaborates and performs a form of cultural legal studies that examines the overlap between legal theory, theology and popular culture. In doing so it makes use of, and mobilises, the concept of estrangement or ‘making’ strange put forward by Victor Shklovsky and the Russian Formalists (amongst others). It does this at two levels: first, by examining the genres of speculative fiction as genres of estrangement that ‘make strange’ their representations of law, legality and justice; and second, by proposing a mode and methodology of cultural legal reading as one that itself ‘makes strange’, rendering the texts under analysis otherwise. As such, it sees in the stories told within the genres of speculative fiction not simply flights of fancy or postulates of pure imagination with no relation or reference to reality. Rather, they produce a meditation on and mediation of the world itself—one that opens us to see the world both in its createdness and contingency, as storied and imbued with meaning. It is for this reason that I turn to speculative fiction in relation to a mode of the cultural legal. Rather than focusing on the direct representations of law, legal institutions and legal actors within popular culture, the engagement of speculative fiction provides a way to understand and re-think the stories of and about law themselves. In the analysis of motifs of law and legality, of justice, authority and legitimacy that are ‘made strange’ by their situation in worlds imagined differently, we find the potential to think and see them otherwise, not in the sense of simply a utopian (or dystopian) looking forward through the potential of the imagination, but an understanding of the imagination’s setting free of these concepts enabling a different reflection and understanding of them.

description: Orbital differentiation is a common theme in multiorbital systems, yet a complete understanding of it is still missing. Here, we consider a minimal model for orbital differentiation in Hund metals with a highly accurate method: We use the numerical renormalization group as a real-frequency impurity solver for a dynamical mean-field study of three-orbital Hubbard models, where a crystal field shifts one orbital in energy. The individual phases are characterized with dynamic correlation functions and their relation to diverse Kondo temperatures. Upon approaching the orbital-selective Mott transition, we find a strongly suppressed spin coherence scale and uncover the emergence of a singular Fermi liquid and interband doublon-holon excitations. Our theory describes the diverse polarization-driven phenomena in the $t_{2g}$ bands of materials such as ruthenates and iron-based superconductors, and our methodological advances pave the way towards real-frequency analyses of strongly correlated materials.

description: A symmetry extending the $T^2$-symmetry of the noncommutative torus $T^2_q$ is studied in the category of quantum groups. This extended symmetry is given by the quantum double-torus defined as a compact matrix quantum group consisting of the disjoint union of $T^2$ and $T^2_{q^2}$. The bicross-product structure of the polynomial Hopf algebra of the quantum double-torus is computed. The Haar measure and the complete list of unitary irreducible representations of the quantum double-torus are determined explicitly.

Directional shift current in mirror-symmetric BC$_2$N

description: We present a theoretical study of the shift current in a noncentrosymmetric polytype of graphitic BC$_2$N. We find that the photoconductivity near the fundamental gap is strongly anisotropic due to the vanishing of particular tensor components not foretold by point-group symmetry arguments; this is a consequence of dipole selection rules imposed by mirror symmetry, which imply that the relative parities between valence and conduction bands are key for determining the directionality of the band-edge response. In addition, the band-edge photoconductivity turns out to be rather large, with the peak value occurring in an energy range suitable for optical manipulation

description: We consider free multiple stochastic measures in the combinatorial framework of the lattice of all diagonals of an n-dimensional space. In this free case, one can restrict the analysis to only the noncrossing diagonals. We give definitions of what free multiple stochastic measures are, and calculate them for the free Poisson and free compound Poisson processes. We also derive general combinatorial Itô-type relationships between free stochastic measures of different orders. These allow us to calculate, for example, free Poisson-Charlier polynomials, which are the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the free Poisson measure.

description: Circadian systems drive daily oscillations in physiology in organisms from bacteria to humans. These oscillations are coordinated by specific changes in environmental cues, the most important of which is light. In animals, circadian regulation of brain function creates rhythmic patterns in behaviors like sleep. Circadian dysregulation is a common feature of many human diseases and environmental causes of circadian disruption increase susceptibility to many diseases including cancer. Importantly, circadian disruption is also commonly seen in hospitalized patients, which could have negative effects on health outcomes. Understanding the basic biology of circadian-regulatory systems and their physiological functions is essential for identifying the impact of circadian rhythms on human health. This dissertation describes a body of work using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to better understand circadian regulation and its impact on behavior and physiology.
