description: In recent years, radio frequency identification technology has moved into the mainstream applications that help to speed up handling of manufactured goods and materials. RFID tags are divided into two classes: active and passive. Active tag requires a power source that's why its cost is more than passive tags. However, the low-cost RFID tags are facing new challenges to security and privacy. Some solutions utilize expensive cryptographic primitives such as hash or encryption functions, and some lightweight approaches have been reported to be not secure. This paper describes a lightweight Mutual authentication and ownership transfer protocol utilizing minimalistic cryptography using Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) and Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR). PUFs and LFSRs are very efficient in hardware and particularly suitable for the low-cost RFID tags. To functioning security in low cost RFID tag minimum gate requirement is 2000 gates. To implement security protocols using PUF and LFSR functions need only approx 800 gates. In this paper it is explained how we can authenticate and transfer ownership of low cost RFID tag securely using LFSR and PUF as compared to existing solutions based on hash functions.

Expert-novice interactions

description: In this paper I explore coordinated body movements and the ways in which participants in a learning activity organize that activity through use of the body. Much investigation has gone into the role of speech in interactive settings, but less is known about how the movements of the body contribute to the processes of maintaining joint attention, focusing and orienting participants, or regulating the flow of an activity. Mirrored behavior, in which one person’s movement of body, head or hand is paired with similar movements by another participant, correlates with participants’ alignment not just to one another but also to the activity underway. I argue that there are eight important ways that participants use coordinated body movements and accompanying speech to orient to and regulate the computer learning activity. These include 1) completing a task, 2) explaining the program at a conceptual level, 3) expressing understanding, 4) seeing something new, 5) orienting and focusing, 6) seeking help, 7) bidding for control of the mouse, and 8) inquiring about state of mind. Through the complex coordination of movement and speech participants jointly alter the path of the ongoing activity

description: Keeping the full quantum nature of the problem we compute the relaxation time of the Holstein polaron after it was driven far from the equilibrium by a strong oscillatory pulse. Just after the pulse the polaron's kinetic energy increases and subsequently exhibits relaxation type decrease with simultaneous emission of phonons. In the weak coupling regime partial tunneling of the electron from the polaron self-potential is observed. The inverse relaxation time is for small values of electron-phonon coupling $λ$ linear with $λ$, while it deviates downwards from the linear regime at $λ\gtrsim 0.1/ω_0$. The imaginary part of the equilibrium self energy shows good agreement with the inverse relaxation time obtained from nonequilibrium simulations.

Thermodynamic curvature from the critical point to the triple point

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: I evaluate the thermodynamic curvature $R$ for fourteen pure fluids along their liquid-vapor coexistence curves, from the critical point to the triple point, using thermodynamic input from the NIST Chemistry WebBook. In this broad overview, $R$ is evaluated in both the coexisting liquid and vapor phases. $R$ is an invariant whose magnitude $|R|$ is a measure of the size of mesoscopic organized structures in a fluid, and whose sign specifies whether intermolecular interactions are effectively attractive ($R<0$) or repulsive ($R>0$). I discuss five principles for $R$ in pure fluids: 1) near the critical point, the attractive part of the interactions forms loose structures of size $|R|$ proportional to the correlation volume $ξ^3$, and sign of $R$ negative, 2) in the vapor phase, there are instances of compact clusters of size $|R|$ formed by the attractive part of the interactions and prevented from collapse by the repulsive part of the interactions, and sign of $R$ positive, 3) in the asymptotic critical point regime, the $R$'s in the coexisting liquid and vapor phases are equal to each other, i.e., commensurate, 4) outside the asymptotic critical point regime incommensurate $R$'s may be associated with metastability, and 5) the compact liquid phase has $|R|$ on the order of the volume of a molecule, with sign of $R$ negative for a liquidlike state held together by attractive interactions and sign of $R$ positive for a solidlike state held up by repulsive interactions. These considerations amplify and extend the application of thermodynamic curvature in pure fluids.

Neurocognitive Correlates of the Comprehensive Trail Making Test (CTMT) in Brain Injured Children
Creators: name: Mayfield, Abigail Rose
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The Comprehensive Trail-Making Test (CTMT) is a commonly used assessment tool shown to be sensitive to brain dysfunction. Research has found cognitive abilities such as possessing speed, working memory, motor speed, sustained attention, and cognitive flexibility influence performance on the CTMT in non-clinical populations.
However, little research has been done to examine the neurocognitive abilities that influence performance on the CTMT in clinical populations. Research has demonstrated that the factor structure of the CTMT differs between clinical and non-clinical groups, which supports the need for further validation of the CTMT in clinical populations. This study examines the neurocognitive correlates that are thought to underlie performance on factor scores of the CTMT in children that with brain dysfunction. The sample for the current study consisted of 98 children, with various sustained and developmental and neurological disorders and a subgroup of children with a TBI (n = 71) selected from the overall sample. These children completed a neuropsychological battery, which included the CTMT and measures of possessing speed, working memory, motor speed, and sustained attention. The relationship between the neurocognitive correlates and the CTMT factor scores were examined using a regression analysis. It was hypothesized that the simple sequencing factor would be predicted by tests that assess Processing Speed,Sustained Attention and Motor Function, while the complex sequencing factor would be predicted by Processing speed and Working Memory. Results indicate that Processing Speed and Motor Function were significant predictors for both the Simple and Complex Sequencing factors. In addition to Processing Speed and Motor Function, Working Memory was a significant predictor for Complex Sequencing for the overall sample. In contrast, Sustained Attention, along with Processing Speed and Motor Function, significantly predicted Complex Sequencing for the TBI subgroup. These findings provide evidence for the use of the CTMT in clinical population, and clarify the underlying mechanisms measured by the CTMT.

Evaluating the Chemical and Biological Stability of Finished Waters Blended for Direct Potable Reuse in a Simulated Distribution System
Creators: name: Grimaldi, Assumption
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: This work evaluated the impacts of blending several different high grade recycled waters with conventional source waters for direct potable reuse (DPR) applications. Bench-scale laboratory tests were conducted for recycled water-source water blends from four participating facilities that have either considered adopting DPR or have already implemented DPR as a feasible approach to overcome water scarcity. The chemical and biological stability of the finished waters was investigated after pipe rig incubation to simulate the quality of blended waters that had aged in a potable water distribution system. The effects of blend ratio, reclaimed water treatment, and source water quality were evaluated to understand disinfection by-product (DBP) yields, generation of metal corrosion products, and changes in bacterial densities in the effluents collected from the pipe rigs. Blending higher proportions of reverse osmosis (RO)-treated water reduced Total Organic Carbon (TOC) concentrations, which resulted in lower effluent Trihalomethane (THM) concentrations. Increased THM formation occurred in the ozone-biofiltered blends from Utility 2, resulting in concentrations exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) of 0.08 mg/L. Elevated concentrations of THMs were associated with both the high concentration of organic precursors present, and the use of chlorine during secondary disinfection. Total lead concentrations exceeding the 15 g/L EPA action level were generally measured in samples with more negative Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) values. Regression analysis showed that the relationship between pipe rig effluent lead and LSI of the finished waters was significant at a 99% confidence level (p<0.01). For all utilities, pipe rig effluent for RO-treated blends typically contained higher effluent lead and copper concentrations compared to ozone-biofiltered blends; however effluent copper concentrations did not exceed the 1.3 mg/L action level. Corrosion potential of the RO-treated surface water blend from Utility 4 was presumably controlled when zinc orthophosphate was added as a corrosion inhibitor. Biological Activity Reaction Tests (BARTª) results indicated that the sulfate reducing bacteria and the slime forming bacteria were the most predominant groups of microorganisms that appeared at the beginning of the reaction period (1-2 days). The results from this study can help advise drinking water facilities in selecting appropriate source waters and optimal blend ratios to augment water portfolios, while conforming to Safe Drinking Water Act regulations that safeguard public health.
title: A Comparison of the Product Topology on Two Trees with the Tree Topology on the Concatenation of Two Trees
Creators: name: Cox, Katlyn Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: A game tree is a nonempty set of sequences, closed under subsequences (i.e., if p ∈ T and p extends q, then q ∈ T). If T is a game tree, then there is a natural topology on [T], the set of paths through T. In this study we consider two types of topological spaces, both constructed from game trees. The first is constructed by taking the Cartesian product of two game trees, T and S: [T] × [S]. The second is constructed by the concatenation of two game trees, T and S: [T ∗ S]. The goal of our study is to determine what conditions we must require of the trees T and S so that these two topologies are homeomorphic.

Media Portrayals of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A CARS2 and Frame Analysis of the Sesame Street Character Julia
Creators: name: Ficarrotta, Sallyann
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Media Portrayals of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A CARS2 and frame analysis of the Sesame Street character Julia Media portrayals of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are grossly exaggerated and inaccurate. Julia, a Muppet with ASD, is not depicted as having high-functioning autism, but most of the exaggerated portrayals depicted in movies and television are of a person on that end of the spectrum. The current study, a quantitative content analysis of Julia from Sesame Street, draws from framing theory, most importantly stigmatizing cues, and utilizes the professional assessment tool, the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS2). The tool was used to rate the severity of Julia's autism symptomology. Frames were used to analyze the dialogue surrounding Julia, and the CARS2 was employed to analyze her portrayal. Fewer socially stigmatizing cues were found in this media content than were found in previous research, implying that Julia was stigmatized less than others. Julia's CARS2 scores placed her in the average autism symptomology group, implying that Julia's ASD symptoms are not exaggerated like other television shows have portrayed those characters with autism. She does, however, exhibit exceptional abilities or "peak skills". People with ASD have a lack of voice regarding their portrayals, so accuracy of representation is crucial. Ultimately Julia's character has the potential to improve the interactions between children with ASD and their typical peers.
The nearby population of M dwarfs with WISE: A search for warm circumstellar dust

description: Circumstellar debris disks are important because of their connection to planetary systems. An efficient way to identify these systems is through their infrared excess. Most studies so far concentrated on early-type or solar-type stars, but less effort has gone into investigating M dwarfs. We characterize the mid-infrared photometric behavior of M dwarfs and search for infrared excess in nearby M dwarfs taken from the volume-limited RECONS sample using data from the WISE satellite and the 2MASS catalog. Our sample consists of 85 sources encompassing 103 M dwarfs. We derive empirical infrared colors from these data and discuss their errors. Based on this, we check the stars for infrared excess and discuss the minimum excess we would be able to detect. Other than the M8.5 dwarf SCR 1845-6357 A, where the excess is produced by a known T6 companion, we detect no excesses in any of our sample stars. The limits we derive for the 22um excess are slightly higher than the usual detection limit of 10-15% for Spitzer studies, but including the [12]-[22] color in our analysis allows us to derive tight constraints on the fractional dust luminosity L_dust/L_star. We show that this result is consistent with M dwarf excesses in the mid-inrared being as frequent as excesses around earlier-type stars. The low detection rate could be an age effect. We also present a tentative excess detection at 22um around the known cold debris disk M dwarf AU Mic, which is not part of our statistical sample. There is still no clear detection of a mid-infrared excess around any old (>30 Myr) main-sequence M dwarf. It is unclear whether this is due to a different dust evolution around M dwarfs or whether this is an age effect combined with the diffculties involved in searching M dwarfs for infrared excesses. A significantly larger sample of well-studied M dwarfs is required to solve this question.

description: Regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway is critically important for a number of cellular processes in both development and adult mammalian biology. This Perspective will provide a summary of current and emerging therapeutic opportunities in modulating Wnt signaling, especially through inhibition of Notum carboxylesterase activity. Notum was recently shown to act as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling through the removal of an essential palmitoleate group. Inhibition of Notum activity may represent a new approach to treat disease where aberrant Notum activity has been identified as the underlying cause. Reliable screening technologies are available to identify inhibitors of Notum, and structural studies are accelerating the discovery of new inhibitors. A selection of these hits have been optimized to give fit-for-purpose small molecule inhibitors of Notum. Three noteworthy examples are LP-922056 (26), ABC99 (27), and ARUK3001185 (28), which are complementary chemical tools for exploring the role of Notum in Wnt signaling.
Examination of Mental Health and Family Relationship in Collegiate Athletes

description: Athletes at the collegiate level frequently experience unique stressors that cause them to be at risk for a number of mental health difficulties, including depression, anxiety, and substance use. Current research in the field suggests that athletes are not as likely as their non-athlete peers to seek out psychological services for mental health difficulties. Social supports have been shown to impact athletes' mental health and sport performance. Specifically, family relationships appear to have an influence on athletes' level of stress and motivation, with positive family relationships showing decreases in athletes' worry as well as faster recovery following injury. Surprisingly, there is little research on the influence that family relationships have on athletes' mental health, depression, anxiety, and substance use. Therefore, the current study examines the extent to which collegiate athletes' ratings of their family relationships predict their ratings of mental health, depression, anxiety, and substance use. Self-reported depression, anxiety, and general mental health symptoms (from the SCL-90-R), drug and alcohol use (from the Timeline Followback), and reports of family relationships (from the Student Athlete Relationship Instrument, SARI) were collected from 85 student athletes at a southwestern university (intramural, n = 26; club sport, n = 12; NCAA Division I, n = 47). It was hypothesized that athletes' reports of greater mental health and substance use difficulties would be predicted by reports of more negative family relationships. Results indicated that all domains of negative family relationships (Poor Relationship and Lack of Support, General Pressure, Pressure to Quit or Continue Unsafely, and Embarrassing Comments and Negative Attitude) predicted athletes' ratings of depression and general mental health concerns. Negative family relationships involving general pressure predicted athletes' reported anxiety and drug use. Alcohol use was not predicted by any of the family relationship domains, but general pressure did contribute a significant, albeit small, increase in the variance explained. ROC analyses indicated that the SARI provided good classification of athletes at risk for overall mental health concerns as well as depression and anxiety. The current results help to further understanding regarding the relationship between negative family relationships, specifically those that involve general pressure, and mental health outcomes in athletes.

description: We investigate intersubband polaritons formed in the asymmetric quantum well (AQW) embedded into the semiconductor microcavity and study the effects of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) acting on intersubband excitations. The spin-orbit interaction of Rashba and Dresselhaus type remove the spin degeneracy of electrons with finite value of in-plane momentum and allow four types of intersubband excitations. While optical spin-flip transitions are suppressed, the spectrum of elementary excitations shows the appearance of upper, lower and middle polaritonic branches based on spin-conserving transitions. The accounting of finite photon momentum leads to non-zero average spin projection of electronic ensemble in the first excited subband under cw excitation for both isotropic (Rashba) and anisotropic (Rashba and Dresselhaus) SOI. We predict the possibility of spin current generation in the considered systems with long coherence length.

description: Narrativization can empower us to reach beyond our loss and act as a trauma healer. This collection uses myth and spirituality to interrogate that suffering. Concerned with both physical and mystic bodies, the characters in these poems are reborn into new paradigms, attempting to diffuse loss (of dignity, hope, identity), and transform that injury into empowerment.
These poems explore those painful experiences through dreams and nonlinear magical visions, drawing from Surrealists painters like Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, whose dreamlike style informs the images in this collection.
Mysticism is essential to this work. The poems are meditations on death, love, and pain. The three parts, Dream Incubation, Retrograde, and House of Saints, represent the three phases of transcendence in the Buddhist understanding, with focus on the Bardo state, or the liminal state, which is the period after death but before rebirth, involving the detachment of one's self from the body. These themes are informed by readings from Anne Carson, Simone Weil, and Mary Ruefle, as well as from the beliefs of Santería, translated from Spanish to mean "worship of saints," a religion practiced in the Caribbean and West Africa.
At times embodying the personas of jezebels and femme fatales, the collection proposes that suffering can grant us access to a spiritual rebirth; it is a journey for wholeness, of destroying origin, and remaking of the self.

description: We study equal weight numerical integration, or Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) rules, for functions in a Sobolev space $H^s(S^d)$ with smoothness parameter $s>d/2$ defined over the unit sphere $S^d$ in $R^{d+1}$. Focusing on $N$-point sets that achieve optimal order QMC error bounds (as is the case for efficient spherical designs), we are led to introduce the concept of QMC designs: these are sequences of $N$-point node sets $X_N$ on $S^d$ such that the worst-case error of the corresponding QMC rules satisfy a bound of order $O(N^{-s/d})$ as $N\to\infty$ with an implied constant that depends on the $H^s(S^d)$-norm. We provide methods for generation and numerical testing of QMC designs. As a consequence of a recent result of Bondarenko et al. on the existence of spherical designs with appropriate number of points, we show that minimizers of the $N$-point energy for the reproducing kernel for $H^s(S^d)$, $s>d/2$, form a sequence of QMC designs for $H^s(S^d)$. Furthermore, without appealing to the Bondarenko et al. result, we prove that point sets that maximize the sum of suitable powers of the Euclidean distance between pairs of points form a sequence of QMC designs for $H^s(S^d)$ with $s\in(d/2,d/2+1)$. Numerical experiments suggest that many familiar sequences of point sets on the sphere (equal area, spiral, minimal [Coulomb or log.] energy, and Fekete points) are QMC designs for appropriate values of $s$. For comparison purposes we show that sets of random points that are independently and uniformly distributed on the sphere do not constitute QMC designs for any $s>d/2$. If $(X_N)$ is a sequence of QMC designs for $H^s(S^d)$, we prove that it is also a sequence of QMC designs for $\mathbb{H}^{s'}(S^d)$ for all $s'\in(d/2,s)$. This leads to the question of determining the supremum of such $s$, for which we provide estimates based on computations for the aforementioned sequences.

description: In this presentation, we will summarize the evolving story of our work with various longitudinal data series for secondary research, DDI-Lifecycle, and Colectica tools like Designer and the Portal. The aging archive within ICPSR, the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), preserves and shares data collections to serve the research community. ICPSR has been a long-time user of DDI, specifically DDI-Codebook, which allows secondary data users to review variable-level items directly from the ICPSR websites. The ICPSR variable view has worked well for providing data discovery within a single data collection or data series. NACDA hosts many data collections that have two or more collection timepoints. To provide secondary data users with an effective way to view the research potential across these longitudinal series, we have been working with DDI-Lifecycle and a Colectica Portal. The NACDA Colectica Portal facilitates the exploration of data across multiple timepoints in a single research series, and across more than one research series. We will outline some history of our trials, errors, and solutions, as well as practical examples from the research collections for which we have created concordances.
High Stakes of Media Messages: Decoding Visual Narratives from the Iraq War in the U.S. and British Presses

description: This research analyzes media coverage of the Iraq War from the perspective of the invading forces, the United States and the United Kingdom. The New York Times and The Guardian were chosen to represent news from their respective countries because of their high circulation rates and international prestige for journalistic reporting. The study focuses on how the Iraq War was visually represented after the Iraq invasion of 2003, examining periods in 2006 and 2011. There were significant differences in how The New York Times and The Guardian visually portrayed the war in 2006, especially in terms of Iraqi civilian and Coalition military casualties. However, there were no significant differences in how they represented the war visually in 2011. War is a high-stakes enterprise and how messages are broadcast visually, verbally, and textually influence the audience's perception of the war. With the use of similar and repeated images encouraging support or opposition to military conflict, these messages become more salient for the audience.
The Rhetoric of Gay Christians: Matthew Vines and Reverend Nancy Wilson as Exemplars

description: There is a view of gay rights debates that pits Christians against gay rights advocates. According to this perception, Christians oppose gay rights, because the Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin, and those who support gay rights do so using purely secular arguments. However, this perception of the gay rights debate is flawed and overly simplistic because not all Christians oppose gay rights. In fact, there are multiple interpretations of biblical texts that support homosexuality and have caused a gay rights debate within the church that is as complex and intricate as gay rights debate outside of the church. This thesis examines the gay rights debate within the church and, specifically, investigates the biblical arguments used by two individuals, Matthew Vines and Reverend Nancy Wilson, to convince others that homosexuality is not a sin.

description: We study Heisenberg spin-1/2 and spin-1 chains with alternating ferromagnetic ($J_1^F$) and antiferromagnetic ($J_1^A$) nearest-neighbor interactions and a ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interaction ($J_2^F$). In this model frustration is present due to the non-zero $J_2^F$. The model with site spin $s$ behaves like a Haldane spin chain with site spin 2$s$ in the limit of vanishing $J_2^F$ and large $J_1^F/J_1^A$. We show that the exact ground state of the model can be found along a line in the parameter space. For fixed $J_1^F$, the phase diagram in the space of $J_1^A-J_2^F$ is determined using numerical techniques complemented by analytical calculations. A number of quantities, including the structure factor, energy gap, entanglement entropy and zero temperature magnetization, are studied to understand the complete phase diagram. An interesting and potentially important feature of this model is that it can exhibit a macroscopic magnetization jump in the presence of a magnetic field; we study this using an effective Hamiltonian.

Self Adjusting Contention Friendly Concurrent Binary Search Tree by Lazy Splaying
Creators: name: Regmee, Mahesh Raj
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: We present a partial blocking implementation of concurrent binary search tree data structure that is contention friendly, fast and scales well. It uses a technique, called lazy splaying to move frequently accessed items close to the root without making the root of the tree a sequential bottleneck. Most of the self adjusting binary search trees are constrained to guarantee the height of a tree even in the presence of concurrency. But, this methodology roughly guarantees the height of a tree only in the absence of contention and limits the contention during concurrent accesses.
The main idea is to divide the update operation into two operations:an eager abstract modification with lazy splayingthat completes quickly and makes at most one local rotation of the tree on each access as a function of historical access frequencies; anda lazy structural adaptation with long/semi splayingwhich implements top down recursive splaying of the tree that may be postponed to diminish contention and re-balance the tree during less contention. This way, the frequently accessed items perform full splaying but after few accesses only and always appear near the root of the tree. Whereas, the infrequently accessed items will not get enough pushes up the tree and stay in the bottom part of the tree.
As in sequential counting based splay tree, the amortized time bound of each operation isO(log N), whereNis the number of items in the tree.
Performance or Processing? Effects of Levels of Processing and Divided Attention on Memory-Related Eye Movements

description: Human memories are expressed either with or without consciousness, termed as explicit and implicit memories, respectively. Different encoding manipulations like levels of processing and divided attention have been shown to affect explicit memories but not implicit memories. These dissociations, however, were only found between explicit and implicit item memories. Whether explicit and implicit relational memories will exhibit similar dissociations is still unknown. In order to determine whether explicit and implicit relational memories dissociated in a similar way as explicit and implicit item memories, the levels of processing and divided attention were manipulated in the present study and participants' relational memories were tested either directly or indirectly while their eye movements were recorded simultaneously as an index of implicit relational memory suggested by previous studies. It was predicted that dissociations would be observed between explicit and implicit relational memories only if implicit relational memory behaved like implicit item memory. However, several pilot studies showed that there was no memory effect in the implicit relational memory. Therefore, the eye tracking experiments were modified and the effects of levels of processing and divided attention manipulations on human eye movements in direct relational memory tests were examined. Participants' eye movements were affected by the levels of processing manipulation, although there was no main effect of the divided attention manipulation. Therefore, the different eye movements may be associated with the levels of processing specifically rather than levels of performance in general.

description: EPHA2 is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that, when disrupted, causes congenital and age-related cataracts. Cat-Map reports 22 pathogenic EPHA2 variants associated with congenital cataracts, variable microcornea, and lenticonus, but no previous association with microphthalmia (small, underdeveloped eye, ≥2 standard deviations below normal axial length). Microphthalmia arises from ocular maldevelopment with >90 monogenic causes, and can include a complex ocular phenotype. In this paper, we report two pathogenic EPHA2 variants in unrelated families presenting with bilateral microphthalmia and congenital cataracts. Whole genome sequencing through the 100,000 Genomes Project and cataract-related targeted gene panel testing identified autosomal dominant heterozygous mutations segregating with the disease: (i) missense c.1751C>T, p.(Pro584Leu) and (ii) splice site c.2826-9G>A. To functionally validate pathogenicity, morpholino knockdown of epha2a/epha2b in zebrafish resulted in significantly reduced eye size ± cataract formation. Misexpression of N-cadherin and retained fibre cell nuclei were observed in the developing lens of the epha2b knockdown morphant fish by 3 days post-fertilisation, which indicated a putative mechanism for microphthalmia pathogenesis through disruption of cadherin-mediated adherens junctions, preventing lens maturation and the critical signals stimulating eye growth. This study demonstrates a novel association of EPHA2 with microphthalmia, suggesting further analysis of pathogenic variants in unsolved microphthalmia cohorts may increase molecular diagnostic rates.

description: We report Stokes vector observations of solar spicules and a prominence in the He I 1083 nm multiplet carried out with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter. The observations show linear polarization profiles that are produced by scattering processes in the presence of a magnetic field. After a careful data reduction, we demonstrate the existence of extremely asymmetric Stokes V profiles in the spicular material that we are able to model with two magnetic components along the line of sight, and under the presence of atomic orientation in the energy levels that give rise to the multiplet. We discuss some possible scenarios that can generate the atomic orientation in spicules. We stress the importance of spectropolarimetric observations across the limb to distinguish such signals from observational artifacts.

description: We consider matter fields conformally coupled to a background metric and dilaton and describe in detail a quantization procedure and related renormalization group flow that preserve Weyl invariance. Even though the resulting effective action is Weyl-invariant, the trace anomaly is still present, with all its physical consequences. We discuss first the case of free matter and then extend the result to interacting matter. We also consider the case when the metric and dilaton are dynamical and gravitons enter in the loops.
