description: Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) has a relapsing and remitting pattern, wherein the underlying mechanisms of the relapse might involve an enhanced uptake of luminal antigens which stimulate the immune response. The tricellular tight junction protein, tricellulin, takes charge of preventing paracellular passage of macromolecules. It is characterized by downregulated expression in active UC and its correct localization is regulated by angulins. We thus analyzed the tricellulin and angulin expression as well as intestinal barrier function and aimed to determine the role of tricellulin in the mechanisms of relapse. Methods: Colon biopsies were collected from controls and UC patients who underwent colonoscopy at the central endoscopy department of Campus Benjamin Franklin, Charite - Universitatsmedizin Berlin. Remission of UC was defined basing on the clinical appearance and a normal Mayo endoscopic subscore. Intestinal barrier function was evaluated by electrophysiological and paracellular flux measurements on biopsies mounted in Ussing chambers. Results: The downregulated tricellulin expression in active UC was recovered in remission UC to control values. Likewise, angulins were in remission UC at the same levels as in controls. Also, the epithelial resistance which was decreased in active UC was restored in remission to the same range as in controls, along with the unaltered paracellular permeabilities for fluorescein and FITC-dextran 4 kDa. Conclusions: In remission of UC, tricellulin expression level as well as intestinal barrier functions were restored to normal, after they were impaired in active UC. This points toward a re-sealing of the impaired tricellular paracellular pathway and abated uptake of antigens to normal rates in remission of UC.

description: Cosmarium amoenum var. jiboensis G.J.P.Ramos, C.E.M.Bicudo & C.W.N.Moura var. nov. (Figs 3–8)
Cells 1.6–1.7 times longer than wide, deep median constriction with a linear, closed sinus, oblong in apical view, elliptic-oblong in lateral view; semicells semicircular, with rounded basal angles, slightly convex lateral margins, rounded apical angles, apical margin slightly convex to subtruncate; cell wall granulate, granules arranged in vertical series in the basal region of the semicells, sometimes in double rows, granules arranged in transverse series in the apical region, 3–5 pores surrounding the granules (SEM view); chloroplast with 2 pyrenoids; cells 44–47.5 μm long, 26.5–28 μm wide, 10–12 μm isthmus.
 Holotype: material numbered (HUEFS 224658!) deposited at Herbário da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, population partially illustrated here in LM (Figs 3–6) and SEM (Figs. 7–8).
 Paratypes (here designated): HUEFS 224676, HUEFS 224702, HUEFS 224718 (Herbário da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana, Brazil)
 Type locality and habitat: Collected at “Serra da Jiboia” Santa Teresinha, Bahia state, Brazil. 12° 51’ 6.6” S, 39°28’ 35.5” W. Sample collected by G. J. P.Ramos, C. W. N. Moura and M. A. Santos (HUEFS 224658) on 14 January 2015. Cosmarium amoenum var. jiboensis occurred in samples collected in bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); T 27.5 (± 2.8 ºC). pH 5.9 (± 0.4). C 0.25 (± 0.18 mS. cm-1). TDS 0.15 (± 0.12 ppt). DO 7.4 (± 3.9 mg.L- 1).
 Etymology:—Due to Serra da Jiboia, type locality
 Notes:— Cosmarium amoenum var. jiboensis is morphologically similar to C. amoenum var. mediolaeve Nordstedt (1887:160) however this latter differs by having no granules in midregion of the semicells and elliptic cells in apical view. The newly described variety was found to be widely distributed in the bromeliads at Serra da Jiboia during all of the sampling periods, suggesting that it is well-adapted to phytotelmata conditions.

description: Background: Cerebrovascular disease, in particular stroke, is a major public health challenge. An important biomarker is cerebral hemodynamics. To measure and quantify cerebral hemodynamics, however, only invasive, potentially harmful or time-to-treatment prolonging methods are available. Results: We present a simulation-based approach which allows calculation of cerebral hemodynamics based on the patient-individual vessel configuration derived from structural vessel imaging. For this, we implemented a framework allowing segmentation and annotation of brain vessels from structural imaging followed by 0-dimensional lumped simulation modeling of cerebral hemodynamics. For annotation, a 3D-graphical user interface was implemented. For 0D-simulation, we used a modified nodal analysis, which was adapted for easy implementation by code. The simulation enables identification of areas vulnerable to stroke and simulation of changes due to different systemic blood pressures. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was implemented allowing the live simulation of changes to simulate procedures and disease progression. Beyond presentation of the framework, we demonstrated in an exploratory analysis in 67 patients that the simulation has a high specificity and low-to-moderate sensitivity to detect perfusion changes in classic perfusion imaging. Conclusions: The presented precision medicine approach using novel biomarkers has the potential to make the application of harmful and complex perfusion methods obsolete.

description: We present a study of the Rydberg spectrum in $^{39}K$ for $nS$ and $nD_{3/2}$ series connected to $5^2P_{1/2}$ using two-photon spectroscopy based on EIT in a heated vapor cell. We observed some 80 transitions from $5P_{1/2}$ to Rydberg states with principal quantum numbers $n\sim50-90$, and determined their transition frequencies and state energies with sub-GHz precision. Our spectroscopy results lay the groundwork for using Rydberg atoms as sensitive microwave photon detectors in searches for dark matter axions in the $\sim40-200$ $μ$eV mass range, which is a prime range for future axion searches suggested by theory studies.

description: After Study 1 showed a main effect of regulatory focus (promotion > prevention) but no effect of or interaction with time pressure, Study 2 aims to conceptually replicate the effect. 3 main points are to be addressed: 1. Study 1 did not show regulatory focus effects on all manipulation checks, so the manipulation has been optimized to ensure that the manipulation is doing what it's supposed to. 2. Study 1 used a time pressure manipulation to constrain cognitive elaboration, but even in the low pressure condition, most participants responded well within the window of the high pressure condition (5s, pps in low pressure condition responded within 3.3s on average). Therefore, the time limit has been standardized for all participants to 15s, but a cognitive load manipulation has been introduced. 3. Study 1 may have been underpowered to detect the predicted interaction, especially considering point 2.

description: A box-ball system is a discrete dynamical system whose dynamics come from the balls jumping according to certain rules. A permutation on n objects gives a box-ball system state by assigning its one-line notation to n consecutive boxes. After a finite number of steps, a box-ball system will reach a steady state. From any steady state, we can construct a tableau called the soliton decomposition of the box-ball system. We prove that if the soliton decomposition of a permutation w is a standard tableau or if its shape coincides with the Robinson-Schensted (RS) partition of w, then the soliton decomposition of w and the RS insertion tableau of w are equal. We also use row reading words, Knuth moves, RS recording tableaux, and a localized version of Greene's theorem (proven recently by Lewis, Lyu, Pylyavskyy, and Sen) to study various properties of a box-ball system.

description: The gas-phase metallicity distribution has been analyzed for the hot atmospheres of 29 galaxy clusters using {\it Chandra X-ray Observatory} observations. All host brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with X-ray cavity systems produced by radio AGN. We find high elemental abundances projected preferentially along the cavities of 16 clusters. The metal-rich plasma was apparently lifted out of the BCGs with the rising X-ray cavities (bubbles) to altitudes between twenty and several hundred kiloparsecs. A relationship between the maximum projected altitude of the uplifted gas (the "iron radius") and jet power is found with the form $R_{\rm Fe} \propto P_{\rm jet}^{0.45}$. The estimated outflow rates are typically tens of solar masses per year but exceed $100 ~\rm M_\odot ~yr^{-1}$ in the most powerful AGN. The outflow rates are 10% to 20% of the cooling rates, and thus alone are unable to offset a cooling inflow. Nevertheless, hot outflows effectively redistribute the cooling gas and may play a significant role at regulating star formation and AGN activity in BCGs and presumably in giant elliptical galaxies. The metallicity distribution overall can be complex, perhaps due to metal rich gas returning in circulation flows or being blown around in the hot atmospheres. Roughly 15% of the work done by the cavities is expended lifting the metal-enriched gas, implying their nuclear black holes have increased in mass by at least $\sim 10^7$ M$_\odot$ to $10^9$ M$_\odot$. Finally, we show that hot outflows can account for the broad, gas-phase metallicity distribution compared to the stellar light profiles of BCGs, and we consider a possible connection between hot outflows and cold molecular gas flows discovered in recent ALMA observations.

 Habitat: bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); water temperature 25.8 (± 2.7 ºC). pH 5.4 (± 0.7). conductivity 0.16 (± 0.15 mS. cm-1). total dissolved solids 0.08 (± 0.07 ppt). dissolved oxygen 8.0 (± 3.3 mg.L- 1).
 Notes: This species was recently described from material collected in bromeliads at Parque das Dunas (Sand Dunes Park), Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil (Ramos et al. 2017a), and this second record occurred in very much the same type of habitat. Although the species was found to be widely distributed among bromeliads in the study area, we did not encounter zygospores, nor the subtriangular morphotype described from the material in the type locality. Nonetheless, the characteristic ellipsoid morphotype, as well as cell walls coarsely punctate, the presence of a mucilaginous sheath, cell dimensions, and the type of environment in which it was found in Serra da Jiboia, are in full agreement with the type material from Parque das Dunas in Salvador, Bahia.
 For now, C. bahianum was not found in other types of environments, but its frequent occurrence in bromeliads in different areas of the state suggests its preference for phytotelmata microhabitats.

Escaping into the Uncertain: The Bower as Restoration and as Temptation in the Poetry of John Keats
Creators: name: McLean, Donald Miller, III
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: When caught between two choices, we often retreat to ponder our circumstances. At important junctures in our lives, we find ourselves looking inwards to our minds and imaginations to try and decide what we should do next. Sometimes our imagination reinvigorates us and we find a renewed sense of purpose. Other times, we are tempted to live in a state of perpetual indecision and eschew the responsibility of deciding. In literature, the bower often represents this place of decision making. It manifests itself sometimes as a physical place, sometimes as an imaginary place, and other times as a mixture of both. Much of John Keats’s poetry explores the tensions and stress of decision making, and many of these poems explore the unfixed meaning of the bower.

description: A remaining carbon budget (RCB) estimates how much CO2 we can emit and still reach a specific temperature target. The RCB concept is attractive since it easily communicates to the public and policymakers, but RCBs are also subject to uncertainties. The expected warming levels for a given carbon budget has a wide uncertainty range, which increases with less ambitious targets, i.e., with higher CO2 emissions and temperatures. Leading causes of RCB uncertainty are the future non-CO2 emissions, Earth system feedbacks, and the spread in the climate sensitivity among climate models. The latter is investigated in this paper, using a simple carbon cycle model and emulators of the temperature responses of the Earth System Models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) ensemble. Driving 41 CMIP6 emulators with 127 different emission scenarios for the 21st century, we find almost perfect linear relationship between maximum global surface air temperature and cumulative carbon emissions, allowing unambiguous estimates of RCB for each CMIP6 model. The range of these estimates over the model ensemble is a measure of the uncertainty in the RCB arising from the range in climate sensitivity over this ensemble, and it is suggested that observational constraints imposed on the transient climate response in the model ensemble can reduce uncertainty in RCB estimates.

description: The moderate deviation regime is concerned with the finite block length trade-off between communication cost and error for information processing tasks in the asymptotic regime, where the communication cost approaches a capacity-like quantity and the error vanishes at the same time. We find exact characterisations of these trade-offs for a variety of fully quantum communication tasks, including quantum source coding, quantum state splitting, entanglement-assisted quantum channel coding, and entanglement-assisted quantum channel simulation. The main technical tool we derive is a tight relation between the partially smoothed max-information and the hypothesis testing relative entropy. This allows us to obtain the expansion of the partially smoothed max-information for i.i.d. states in the moderate deviation regime.

description: Through the past decade the field of network science has established itself as a common ground for the cross-fertilization of exciting inter-disciplinary studies which has motivated researchers to model almost every physical system as an interacting network consisting of nodes and links. Although public transport networks such as airline and railway networks have been extensively studied, the status of bus networks still remains in obscurity. In developing countries like India, where bus networks play an important role in day-to-day commutation, it is of significant interest to analyze its topological structure and answer some of the basic questions on its evolution, growth, robustness and resiliency. In this paper, we model the bus networks of major Indian cities as graphs in \textit{L}-space, and evaluate their various statistical properties using concepts from network science. Our analysis reveals a wide spectrum of network topology with the common underlying feature of small-world property. We observe that the networks although, robust and resilient to random attacks are particularly degree-sensitive. Unlike real-world networks, like Internet, WWW and airline, which are virtual, bus networks are physically constrained. The presence of various geographical and economic constraints allow these networks to evolve over time. Our findings therefore, throw light on the evolution of such geographically and socio-economically constrained networks which will help us in designing more efficient networks in the future.

description: This paper is concerned with the physics of parametrized gapped quantum many-body systems, which can be viewed as a generalization of conventional topological phases of matter. In such systems, rather than considering a single Hamiltonian, one considers a family of Hamiltonians that depend continuously on some parameters. After discussing the notion of phases of parametrized systems, we formulate a bulk-boundary correspondence for an important bulk quantity, the Kapustin-Spodyneiko higher Berry curvature, first in one spatial dimension and then in arbitrary dimension. This clarifies the physical interpretation of the higher Berry curvature, which in one spatial dimension is a flow of (ordinary) Berry curvature. In d dimensions, the higher Berry curvature is a flow of (d-1)-dimensional higher Berry curvature. Based on this, we discuss one-dimensional systems that pump Chern number to/from spatial boundaries, resulting in anomalous boundary modes featuring isolated Weyl points. In higher dimensions, there are pumps of the analogous quantized invariants obtained by integrating the higher Berry curvature. We also discuss the consequences for parametrized systems of Kitaev's proposal that invertible phases are classified by a generalized cohomology theory, and emphasize the role of the suspension isomorphism in generating new examples of parametrized systems from known invertible phases. Finally, we present a pair of general quantum pumping constructions, based on physical pictures introduced by Kitaev, which take as input a d-dimensional parametrized system, and produce new (d+1)-dimensional parametrized systems. These constructions are useful for generating examples, and we conjecture that one of the constructions realizes the suspension isomorphism in a generalized cohomology theory of invertible phases.

description: Background: Malignant hyperthermia is a rare but life-threatening pharmacogenetic muscle disorder characterized by abnormal hypermetabolic reactions and commonly triggered in susceptible individuals by volatile anesthetics or succinylcholine, or both. Unfortunately, the specific medicine dantrolene is not readily available in many countries including China. The aim of this study was to find the characteristics of malignant hyperthermia under the situation that dantrolene is not readily available. Methods: The cases of malignant hyperthermia reported on the most commonly used databases in China from 1985 to 2020 were analyzed. The inclusion criteria were the MH episodes only related to anesthesia. The exclusion criteria were dubious MH episodes only caused by Ketamine administration or MH episodes irrelevant to anesthesia. Independent samples t-test and Pearson's chi-squared test were applied to assess the difference between the survived and death cases. Results: Ninety-two cases of malignant hyperthermia reported on the most commonly used databases in China from 1985 to 2020 were analyzed. Median (IQR [range]) age was 18.5 (11.8-37.0 [0-70.0]) years. Compared with the survived cases, the death cases had higher maximum end-tidal partial pressure of CO2 (P = 0.033), the maximum arterial partial pressure of CO2 (P = 0.006), temperature first measured when the patient was first discovered abnormal (P = 0.012), and maximum temperature (P < 0.001). Besides, the death cases had less minimum pH (P < 0.001) and higher potassium (P < 0.001) and were more likely to have coagulation disorders (p = 0.018). Concerning treatment, cases used furosemide (P = 0.024), mannitol (P = 0.029), blood purification treatment (P = 0.017) had the advantage on the outcome. Creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin, and MB isoenzyme of creatine phosphokinase differed greatly among cases during the first week. 43 (46.7%) cases had congenital diseases. 12 (13.0%) cases were reported with abnormal laboratory test results or abnormal signs that are possibly relevant before anesthesia. Conclusions: In countries that dantrolene is not readily available, early warning, diagnosis, and prompt effective therapies are crucial for MH patients to survive.

description: In addition to biological sex, gender, defined as the sociocultural dimension of being a woman or a man, plays a central role in health. However, there are so far few approaches to quantify gender in a retrospective manner in existing study datasets. We therefore aimed to develop a methodology that can be retrospectively applied to assess gender in existing cohorts. We used baseline data from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II), obtained in 2009-2014 from 1869 participants aged 60 years and older. We identified 13 gender-related variables and used them to construct a gender score by using primary component and logistic regression analyses. Of these, nine variables contributed to a gender score: chronic stress, marital status, risk-taking behaviour, personality attributes: agreeableness, neuroticism, extraversion, loneliness, conscientiousness, and level of education. Females and males differed significantly in the distribution of the gender score, but a significant overlap was also found. Thus, we were able to develop a gender score in a retrospective manner from already collected data that characterized participants in addition to biological sex. This approach will allow researchers to introduce the notion of gender retrospectively into a large number of studies.

description: Post LSND results, sterile neutrinos have drawn attention and motivated the high energy physics, astronomy and cosmology to probe physics beyond the standard model considering minimal 3+1 (3 active and 1 sterile) to 3+N neutrino schemes. The analytical equations for neutrino conversion probabilities are developed in this work for 3+1 neutrino scheme. Here, we have tried to explore the possible signals of T and CPT violations with four flavor neutrino scheme at neutrino factory. Values of sterile parameters considered in this analysis are taken from two different types of neutrino experiments viz. long baseline experiments and reactor+atmospheric experiments. In this work golden and discovery channels are selected for the investigation of T violation. While observing T violation we stipulate that neutrino factory working at 50 GeV energy have the potential to observe the T violation signatures for the considered range of baselines(3000 km-7500 km). The ability of neutrino factory for constraining CPT violation is enhanced with increase in energy for normal neutrino mass hierarchy(NH). Neutrino factory with the exposure time of 500 kt-yr will be able to capture CPT violation with $ δc_{31}\geq 3.6\times10^{-23} $ GeV at 3$ σ$ level for NH and for IH with $ δc_{31}\geq 4\times10^{-23} $ GeV at 3$ σ$ level.

 Notes: This species is known from only three states in Brazil: Bahia (Oliveira et al. 2016), São Paulo (Araújo & Bicudo 2006), and Amazonas (Förster 1974). It was observed in the phytotelmata of bromeliad specimens at Serra da Jiboia with a variable sinus, ranging from V-shaped to U-shaped, the former being the most common. As those variations occurred within the same population, and included cells with intermediate characteristics, we consider them as representing the phenotypic plasticity of a single taxon.
 Those variations could lead to taxonomic confusion, however, as there are several species of Cosmarium with similar morphologies. According to Coesel & Krienitz (2008), a more precise identification of these tiny Cosmarium will require finding zygospores, which can be very different from one species to another. Due to the presence of spherical zygospores with smooth walls, and in light of the morphological features of the cells, we considered that taxon to be Cosmarium majae

The yersiniabactin pathogenicity island of pathobiont E. coli promotes fibrosis in Il10-/- mice

description: Intestinal fibrosis, defined as the excess deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a result of chronic inflammation and dysregulated wound healing, afflicts more than 30% of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), yet there is minimal understanding of the mechanisms controlling fibrosis. Currently, there is no known cause or cure for fibrosis; however, the microbiota provides a putative causal link between IBD-associated bacteria and the development of fibrosis. The bacterial siderophore yersiniabactin (Ybt) and its cognate receptor FyuA promote microbial fitness and are secreted in high quantities in non-pathogenic Escherichia coli overrepresented in IBD patients. The role of the Ybt-FyuA system in fibrotic development is unknown, so to investigate the impact of the Ybt-FyuA system on IBD and fibrosis, germ-free, colitis-susceptible Il10-/- mice and resistant WT mice were colonized with pathobiont E. coli NC101 or one of its isogenic mutants deficient in either the FyuA receptor (NC101 ΔfyuA), Ybt (NC101 Δirp1), or both Ybt and FyuA (NC101 ΔfyuA Δirp1). Tissue analysis revealed a subset of Il10-/- mice colonized with NC101 ΔfyuA developed a distinct submucosal colonic pathology with abnormal ECM deposition, edema, and cellular infiltration of activated fibroblasts. This pathology was independent of colonization capacity (fecal and mucosal bacterial loads), host and bacterial iron homeostasis, and Ybt uptake through FyuA. RNAseq revealed highly significant differences (2692 genes) in the colonic transcriptome of NC101 ΔfyuA/Il10-/- mice with the fibrotic pathology versus NC101/Il10-/- mice devoid of pathology. Because the most differentially regulated genes were associated with ECM and because fibroblasts secrete increased ECM proteins in response to chronic inflammation/fibrosis, the potential of the E. coli strains to directly and differentially activate fibroblasts was evaluated. Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were co-cultured with NC101 WT and mutant strains above and assessed for fibroblast activation via real-time qPCR. When the live bacteria did not result in fibroblast activation, Swiss 3T3s were co-cultured with various bacterial small molecules and assessed for activation. The observation that the fibrosis pathology required Ybt biosynthesis but not bacterial uptake of Ybt, is suggestive of a novel mechanism for the siderophore separate from its canonical role in bacterial fitness and iron acquisition. Further, these findings implicate the potentiality of siderophores as therapeutic targets for IBD-fibrosis. In summary, E. coli NC101 ΔfyuA induced fibrosis in the Il10-/- IBD mouse model, but did not activate fibroblasts in vitro. These results warrant future studies evaluating an indirect mechanism of fibroblast activation.

description: Phenomenological $R$-matrix has been a standard framework for the evaluation of resolved resonance cross section data in nuclear physics for many years. It is a powerful method for comparing different types of experimental nuclear data and combining the results of many different experimental measurements in order to gain a better estimation of the true underlying cross sections. Yet a practical challenge has always been the estimation of the uncertainty on both the cross sections at the energies of interest and the fit parameters, which can take the form of standard level parameters. Frequentist ($χ^2$-based) estimation has been the norm. In this work, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler, \texttt{emcee}, has been implemented for the $R$-matrix code \texttt{AZURE2}, creating the Bayesian $R$-matrix Inference Code Kit (\texttt{BRICK}). Bayesian uncertainty estimation has then been carried out for a simultaneous $R$-matrix fit of the $^3$He$(α,γ)^7$Be and $^3$He$(α,α)^3$He reactions in order to gain further insight into the fitting of capture and scattering data. Both data sets constrain the values of the bound state $α$-particle asymptotic normalization coefficients in $^7$Be. The analysis highlights the need for low-energy scattering data with well-documented uncertainty information and shows how misleading results can be obtained in its absence.

description: We present fully nonlinear dissipative fluid dynamics simulations of a trapped two-dimensional Fermi gas at unitarity using a Lattice Boltzmann algorithm. We are able to simulate non-harmonic trapping potentials, temperature-dependent viscosities as well as a discretized version of the ballistic (non-interacting) behavior. Our approach lends itself to direct comparison with experimental data, opening up the possibility of a precision determination of transport coefficients in the unitary Fermi gas. Furthermore, we predict the presence of a non-hydrodynamic component in the quadrupole mode, which should be observable experimentally.

 Type locality and habitat: Collected at “Serra da Jiboia” Santa Teresinha, Bahia state, Brazil. 12° 51’ 7.5” S, 39°28’ 35.7” W. Sample collected by G. J. P.Ramos, C. W. N. Moura and M. A. Santos (HUEFS 224668) on 14 January 2015. Cosmarium oliveirae occurred in samples collected in bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); T 27.8 (± 2.5 ºC). pH 6.2 (± 0.48). C 0.28 (± 0.15 mS. cm-1). TDS 0.14 (± 0.07 ppt). DO 7.2 (± 3.1 mg.L- 1).
 Etymology:—the new name of the present species is given in honor of Brazilian desmidiologist Dr. Ivania Batista de Oliveira for her contribution to knowledge of desmids in Bahia.
 Notes:— The newly described species is morphological similar to Cosmarium obtusatum (Schmidle) Schmidle (1898: 38), however this latter differ by having margins faintly crenate (flattened verrucae) and elliptical semicells in apical view. Due this similarity, this taxon was identified previously for this area as C. obtusatum (Ramos et al. 2011). Now, after a detailed reanalysis of this taxon, especially in SEM, the ornamentation of the granules is clearly different from pattern of C. obtusatum.

Black Liberatory Senses of Place: Creating From Abject Otherness
Creators: name: Babatunde, Omololu Refilwe
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: This thesis interrogates the racialized nature of western modernity and the spaces and places of possibility for Black resistive creation. I explore the dominant socio-spatial structure’s antagonistic construction in opposition to Blackness (a construction that relegates Blackness as a spatial marker of abject otherness) and pose this question:  If Blackness implies a homeless position in the dominant socio-spatial structure of the ‘modern’ world how might one conceptualize a Black sense of place?  Perhaps more urgently, how might one imagine and act upon a liberatory Black sense of place?
The notion of becoming is useful to these questions. Both Georg Wilhelm Hegel and Stuart Hall offer salient insights and visions of becoming in relation to Black subjectivity. Both scholars theorize the idea of becoming as the subjective transformation of Blackness in relation to the dominant socio-spatial structure of modernity, however their visions are distinct.  Hegel’s understanding of becoming is premised on the destruction of Blackness whereas Hall’s view relies upon re-imagining Blackness outside of the constructs of oppressive Eurocentric modernity so as to create resistive spaces. Hall’s perspective offers a wider frame of possibilities.
Two case studies form the body of this thesis:  I explore a newly popularized term Afropolitanism and a 2014-2015 campaign run by The Real Silent Sam Coalition at UNC-Chapel Hill. I read both of these cases through Hegel and Hall’s opposing understandings of becoming in order to reveal the different conceptualizations of Black liberatory senses of place that they present.
These two case studies suggest that submitting to this position of abject otherness has potential to create Black liberatory futures. In fact, improvising from restive spaces and speaking from a place of abject otherness in the case of the RSSC seems to have been crucial to their success in opening new liberating spaces.
T-duality without isometry via extended gauge symmetries of 2D sigma models

description: Target space duality is one of the most profound properties of string theory. However it customarily requires that the background fields satisfy certain invariance conditions in order to perform it consistently; for instance the vector fields along the directions that T-duality is performed have to generate isometries. In the present paper we examine in detail the possibility to perform T-duality along non-isometric directions. In particular, based on a recent work of Kotov and Strobl, we study gauged 2D sigma models where gauge invariance for an extended set of gauge transformations imposes weaker constraints than in the standard case, notably the corresponding vector fields are not Killing. This formulation enables us to follow a procedure analogous to the derivation of the Buscher rules and obtain two dual models, by integrating out once the Lagrange multipliers and once the gauge fields. We show that this construction indeed works in non-trivial cases by examining an explicit class of examples based on step 2 nilmanifolds.

description: While much effort has been devoted to understand the role of intra-urban characteristics on sustainability and growth, much remains to be understood about the effect of inter-urban interactions and the role cities have in determining each other's urban welfare. Here we consider a global mobility network of population flows between cities as a proxy for the communication between these regions, and analyze how these flows impact socioeconomic indicators that measure economic success. We use several measures of centrality to rank cities according to their importance in the mobility network, finding PageRank to be the most effective measure for reflecting these prosperity indicators. Our analysis reveals that the characterization of the welfare of cities based on mobility information hinges on their corresponding development stage. Namely, while network-based predictions of welfare correlate well with economic indicators in mature cities, for developing urban areas additional information about the prosperity of their mobility neighborhood is needed. For these developing cities, those that are connected to sets of mature cities show markedly better socio-economic indicators than those connected to less mature cities. We develop a simple generative model for the allocation of population flows out of a city that balances the costs and benefits of interaction with other cities that are successful, finding that it provides a strong fit to the flows observed in the global mobility network and highlights the differences in flow patterns between developed and developing urban regions. Our results hint towards the importance of leveraging inter-urban connections in service of urban development and welfare.
