description: Balancing participatory and representative democracy for collective community leadership is essential to establishing a community governance structure in the field of local government in Queensland, Australia. Community planning has been viewed by state and territory governments in Australia as the vehicle for increasing participatory democracy for local governments over the past two decades. Increasing participatory democracy and relegitimising representative democracy through a community governance structure is critical for rural and regional communities to build capacity and resilience given the prominent role local government plays in regional community life. Currently, there is limited knowledge of maturing and proven local government community governance models that utilise the practice of community planning to build community capacity in rural and regional Queensland and Australia. This study interrogates Queensland’s Central Highlands Regional Council (CHRC) Community Reference Group (CRG) model which utilises community planning as a process for establishing a deliberative community governance model. CHRC facilitates a network of 13 CRGs to undertake community planning, community engagement and community development in each of the 13 localities in the region. The large amount of verbatim data from the CRG and Council participants reveals the role agency, social and cultural capital play in building capacity between the CRG members and Council. This unique study provides authentic insights into community leadership collectives, showcasing their particular version of community planning practice in a regional/rural setting. Using Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice and Wenger’s Communities of Practice (CoPs) as a social theory of learning frames the CRG practice of community planning within these contexts. Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology provides a systematic and iterative process for data collection and analysis to reveal the story of the CHRC CRG model from 2013 – 2021. Over time, the CRG model has developed into a distinct and maturing deliberative community governance model for practicing community planning in the field of local government. This CRG model can be adopted by other regional councils in Australia or internationally to build authentic community capacity and, therefore, increase community resilience.

description: A theory of coherent multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) is developed for superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) interferometers. We consider a Y-shape normal electron beam splitter connecting two superconducting reservoirs, where the two connection points to the same superconductor can have different phase. The current is calculated in the quantum transport regime as a function of applied voltage and phase difference, $I(V,ϕ)$. MAR in interferometers incorporates two features: interference in the arms of the splitter, and interplay with Andreev resonances. The latter feature yields enhancement of the subgap current and current peaks with phase-dependent positions and magnitudes. The interference effect leads to suppression of the subgap current and complete disappearance of the current peaks at $ϕ=π$. The excess current at large voltage decreases and changes sign with increasing phase difference.

description: Abstract: Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that metformin may reduce the incidence of cancer in patients with diabetes and multiple late phase clinical trials assessing the potential of repurposing this drug are underway. Transcriptomic profiling of tumour samples is an excellent tool to understand drug bioactivity, identify candidate biomarkers and assess for mechanisms of resistance to therapy. Methods: Thirty-six patients with untreated primary breast cancer were recruited to a window study and transcriptomic profiling of tumour samples carried out before and after metformin treatment. Results: Multiple genes that regulate fatty acid oxidation were upregulated at the transcriptomic level and there was a differential change in expression between two previously identified cohorts of patients with distinct metabolic responses. Increase in expression of a mitochondrial fatty oxidation gene composite signature correlated with change in a proliferation gene signature. In vitro assays showed that, in contrast to previous studies in models of normal cells, metformin reduces fatty acid oxidation with a subsequent accumulation of intracellular triglyceride, independent of AMPK activation. Conclusions: We propose that metformin at clinical doses targets fatty acid oxidation in cancer cells with implications for patient selection and drug combinations. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01266486.

description: The combination of inducing point methods with stochastic variational inference has enabled approximate Gaussian Process (GP) inference on large datasets. Unfortunately, the resulting predictive distributions often exhibit substantially underestimated uncertainties. Notably, in the regression case the predictive variance is typically dominated by observation noise, yielding uncertainty estimates that make little use of the input-dependent function uncertainty that makes GP priors attractive. In this work we propose two simple methods for scalable GP regression that address this issue and thus yield substantially improved predictive uncertainties. The first applies variational inference to FITC (Fully Independent Training Conditional; Snelson et.~al.~2006). The second bypasses posterior approximations and instead directly targets the posterior predictive distribution. In an extensive empirical comparison with a number of alternative methods for scalable GP regression, we find that the resulting predictive distributions exhibit significantly better calibrated uncertainties and higher log likelihoods--often by as much as half a nat per datapoint.

description: This analysis investigates the potential mechanism and the practical significance of the impacts of agricultural value chain development in a geographically challenging rural area of a developing country. We use data from a primary survey administered in the hill and mountainous region in Western Nepal. We show that linking small-scale producers with regional and local traders can help increase agricultural income. We unpack the potential mechanism of the impact pathway and show that the increase in agricultural income is a consequence of higher agricultural revenues, owing to a higher volume of sales at lower prices. The positive impact on household income is practically significant in that it translated into improved food security, dietary diversity and household resilience. Targeted value chain interventions that strengthen and stabilize small-scale producers’ access to markets can contribute to rural poverty reduction via an increase in agricultural income.

description: Starting from a multipole expansion of intra- molecular Coulomb interactions, we present configuration interaction calculations of the molecular energy terms of the hole configurations hu^m, m=2-5, of C60^{m+} cations, of the electron configurations t1u^n, n=2-4, of the C60^{n-} anions, and of the exciton configurations (hu^+ t1u^-), (hu^+ t1g^-) of the neutral C60 molecule. The ground state of C60^{2-} is either 3 T1g or 1Ag, depending on the energy separation between t1g and t1u levels. There are three close (~0.03 eV) low lying triplets 3T1g, 3Gg, 3T2g for C60^{2+}, and three quartets 4T1u, 4Gu, 4T2u for C60^{3+}, which can be subjected to the Jahn-Teller effect. The number of low lying nearly degenerate states in largest for m=3 holes. We have calculated the magnetic moments of the hole and electron configurations and found that they are independent of molecular orientation in respect to an external magnetic field. The coupling of spin and orbital momenta differs from the atomic case. We analyze the electronic dipolar transitions t1u^2 -> t1u t1g and t1u^3 -> t1u^2 t1g for C60^{2-} and C60^{3-}. Three optical absorption lines (3T1g -> 3Hu, 3T1u, 3Au) are found for the ground level of C60^{2-} and only one line (4Au -> 4T1g) for the ground state of C60^{3-}. We compare our results with the experimental data for C60^{n-} in solutions and with earlier theoretical studies.
Flipping the switch on opioid use disorder: stress induced vulnerability to fentanyl requires activation of the lateral habenula.
Creators: name: O'Brien, Christopher Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: Endogenous opioids are involved in regulating stress responses, mood, pain, and reward. However, chronic activation of the endogenous opioid system following repeated stress or other homeostatic insults is maladaptive and can increase the risk of developing an opioid use disorder (OUD). Nonetheless, this risk affects only a subset of individuals, while others remain resilient. Therefore, our ability to understand the behaviors and brain circuits involved in opioid use vulnerability may be instrumental in preventing OUD, developing novel treatment strategies, and preventing relapse. In order to identify these behavioral features, we developed a comprehensive behavioral paradigm in mice to test for footshock stress induced maladaptive responses that could predict fentanyl preference (Aim 1). After identifying these predictors, we hypothesized that the lateral habenula (LHb), a major aversion center in the brain, was necessary in their development (Aim 2). We tested this through chemogenetic inhibition of the LHb during stress and tested mice using the same behavioral paradigm. In doing so, we observed that individual susceptibility to OUD is highly dependent on stress history. Following stress, we discovered that reward-seeking and heightened mechanical sensitivity are predictive of future fentanyl seeking, while deficits in reward value were more predictive in control mice. Moreover, we found that chemogenetic inhibition of the LHb vglut2 neurons could prevent the stress-induced mechanical sensitivity and could partially reverse stress-induced effects on reward. Furthermore, we observed that LHb inhibition also reduced future fentanyl intake and fentanyl preference. Together we take this to mean that stress acts to trigger individual differences that are predictive of developing a substance use disorder and that LHb activity is necessary for these long-lasting behavioral effects predictive of opioid seeking.

description: The vast net of fibres within and underneath the cortex is optimised to support the convergence of different levels of brain organisation. Here, we propose a novel coordinate system of the human cortex based on an advanced model of its connectivity. Our approach is inspired by seminal, but so far largely neglected models of cortico–cortical wiring established by postmortem anatomical studies and capitalises on cutting-edge in vivo neuroimaging and machine learning. The new model expands the currently prevailing diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tractography approach by incorporation of additional features of cortical microstructure and cortico–cortical proximity. Studying several datasets and different parcellation schemes, we could show that our coordinate system robustly recapitulates established sensory-limbic and anterior–posterior dimensions of brain organisation. A series of validation experiments showed that the new wiring space reflects cortical microcircuit features (including pyramidal neuron depth and glial expression) and allowed for competitive simulations of functional connectivity and dynamics based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and human intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) coherence. Our results advance our understanding of how cell-specific neurobiological gradients produce a hierarchical cortical wiring scheme that is concordant with increasing functional sophistication of human brain organisation. Our evaluations demonstrate the cortical wiring space bridges across scales of neural organisation and can be easily translated to single individuals.

description: Ferroelectricity-the switchable intrinsic electric polarization-has not yet been attained in a metal experimentally and is in fact generally deemed irreconcilable with free carriers, although polar metal has been achieved recently. Multiferroic metal has never even been proposed though multiferroics have been widely investigated. Here we report a room-temperature coexistence of multiferroicity and metallic behavior in PbNb0.12Ti0.88O3-delta films. The oxygen-vacancy-induced electrons become delocalized and ameliorate the ferromagnetic properties of these films, whereas they fail to vanish the polar displacements nor the individual dipole in each unit cell. This concurrent appearance of multiferroicity and metallicity is also confirmed by our first-principles calculation performed on 12.5% Nb-doped PbTiO3 with oxygen vacancies. These findings break a path to multiferroic metallic materials and offer a potential application for multiferroic spintronic devices.

description: The different kinds of behaviour of three-body systems in the weak binding limit are classified with specific attention to the transition from a true three-body system to an effective two-body system. For weakly bound Borromean systems approaching the limit of binding we show that the size-binding energy relation is an almost universal function of the three s-wave scattering lengths measured in units of a hyperradial scaling parameter defined as a mass weighted average of two-body equivalent square well radii. We explain why three-body halos follow this curve and why systems appearing above reveal two-body substructures. Three-body quantum halos 2-3 times larger than the limit set by zero hypermoment are possible.

description: The host galaxies of powerful radio sources are ideal laboratories to study active galactic nuclei (AGN). The galaxies themselves are among the most massive systems in the universe, and are believed to harbor supermassive black holes (SMBH). If large galaxies are formed in a hierarchical way by multiple merger events, radio galaxies at low redshift represent the end-products of this process. However, it is not clear why some of these massive ellipticals have associated radio emission, while others do not. Both are thought to contain SMBHs, with masses proportional to the total luminous mass in the bulge. It either implies every SMBH has recurrent radio-loud phases, and the radio-quiet galaxies happen to be in the "low" state, or that the radio galaxy nuclei are physically different from radio-quiet ones, i.e. by having a more massive SMBH for a given bulge mass. Here we present the first results from our adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopy pilot program on three nearby powerful radio galaxies. Initiating a larger, more systematic AO survey of radio galaxies (preferentially with Laser Guide Star equipped AO systems) has the potential of furthering our understanding of the physical properties of radio sources, their triggering, and their subsequent evolution.

description: Huge DBMSs storing genomic information are being created and engineerized for doing large-scale, comprehensive and in-depth analysis of human beings and their diseases. However, recent regulations like the GDPR require that sensitive data are stored and elaborated thanks to privacy-by-design methods and software. We designed and implemented ER-index, a new full-text index in minute space which was optimized for compressing and encrypting collections of genomic sequences, and for performing on them fast pattern-search queries. Our new index complements the E2FM-index, which was introduced to compress and encrypt collections of nucleotide sequences without relying on a reference sequence. When used on collections of highly similar sequences, the ER-index allows to obtain compression ratios which are an order of magnitude smaller than those achieved with the E2FM-index, but maintaining its very good search performance. Moreover, thanks to the ER-index multi-user and multiple-keys encryption model, a single index can store the sequences related to a population of individuals so that users may perform search operations only on the sequences to which they were granted access. The ER-index C++ source code plus scripts and data to assess the tool performance are available at: https://github.com/EncryptedIndexes/erindex.

A quantitative comparison of the three acquisition orders incorporating a range of heart rates and heart rate and respiratory rate variability shows that the sGS performs almost always as well as the GS in motion tracking sampling. sGS and the GS also both outperform interleaved sampling by large margins in terms of the unbiasedness and uniformity of sampling. In image formation, the sGSoutperforms both the GS and interleaved sampling in terms of k-space sampling artifact minimization. (DOCX 564 kb)

description: In this work we experimentally achieve 1 kHz-wide directional band-gaps for elastic waves spanning a frequency range from approximately 8 to 11 kHz. One-way propagation is induced by way of a periodic waveguide consisting in an aluminum beam partially covered by a tightly packed array of piezoelectric patches. The latter are connected to shunt circuits and switches which allow for a periodic modulation in time of the cell properties. A traveling stiffness profile is obtained by opportunely phasing the temporal modulation of each active element, mimicking the propagation of a plane wave along the material, therefore establishing unidirectional wave propagation at bandgap frequencies.

description: We study the formation of the photonic band structure in small clusters of dielectric spheres. The first signs of the band structure, an attribute of an infinite crystal, can appear for clusters of 5 particles. Density of resonant states of a cluster of 32 spheres may exhibit a well defined structure similar to the density of electromagnetic states of the infinite photonic crystal. The resonant mode structure of finite-size aggregates is shown to be insensitive to random displacements of particles off the perfect lattice positions as large as half-radius of the particle. The results were obtained by an efficient numerical method, which relates the density of resonant states to the the scattering coefficients of the electromagnetic scattering problem. Generalized multisphere Mie (GMM) solution was used to obtain scattering matrix elements. These results are important to miniature photonic crystal design as well as understanding of light localization in dense random media.

 To address these challenges, three H2020 projects of the NMBP-13 call (NANORIGO, RiskGONE and Gov4Nano) are
 working to improve the governance of nanorisks in Europe. They are jointly developing the concept of a new
 organisation tasked with collecting, sharing and disseminating insight for governing risks from nano-based products.
 The Nanotechnology Risk Governance Council (NRGC) will be an independent organisation with the goal to improve
 the governance of benefits and risks, now and for the long-term.

description: During the last three decades, non-standard statistics for indistinguishable quantum particles has attracted broad attentions and research interests from many institutions. Among these new types of statistics, the q-deformed Bose and Fermi statistics, originated from the study of quantum algebra, are being applied in more and more physical systems. In this paper, we construct a q-deformed generalization of the BCS-Leggett theory for ultracold Fermi gases based on our previously constructed q-deformed BCS theory. Some interesting features of this q-deformed interacting quantum gas are obtained by numerical analysis. For example, in the ordinary Bose-Einstein Condensation regime, the gas presents a fermionic feature instead of bosonic feature if the deformation parameter is tuned suitably, which might be referred to as the q-induced ``Bose-Fermi'' crossover. Conversely, a weak sign of the ``Fermi-Bose'' crossover is also found in the ordinary weak fermionic regime.

description: For a large class of quantum systems the statistical properties of their spectrum show remarkable agreement with random matrix predictions. Recent advances show that the scope of random matrix theory is much wider. In this work, we show that the random matrix approach can be beneficially applied to a completely different classical domain, namely, to the empirical correlation matrices obtained from the analysis of the basic atmospheric parameters that characterise the state of atmosphere. We show that the spectrum of atmospheric correlation matrices satisfy the random matrix prescription. In particular, the eigenmodes of the atmospheric empirical correlation matrices that have physical significance are marked by deviations from the eigenvector distribution.

description: To better understand how ocean acidification affects coral reef systems, a suite of observations from the NOAA moored autonomous pCO2 buoy (MapCO2) in La Parguera Marine Reserve in combination with long-track (underway) oceanographic measurements of near-shore surface water were analyzed and collected. This research is part of a new project to identify coral reefs that are at risk of dissolving. The long-term goal of this initiative is to aid in the development of early warning and management policies on small tropical islands.

description: Since 2000, the Finnish non-profit organization Snowchange Cooperative has piloted far-reaching rewilding (Perino et al. 2019) and ecosystem restoration actions in North Karelia and Sámi areas that combine Indigenous and local-traditional knowledge of the Finno-Ugric peoples with the latest science. Rewilding is seen often as a part of nature-based solutions, where the emphasis is placed on restarting the natural functions of a site and limiting human interventions.
Transurethral ultrasound therapy of the prostate in the presence of calcifications: A simulation study

description: Purpose: Transurethral ultrasound therapy is an investigational treatment modality which could potentially be used for the localized treatment of prostate cancer. One of the limiting factors of this therapy is prostatic calcifications. These attenuate and reflect ultrasound and thus reduce the efficacy of the heating. The aim of this study is to investigate how prostatic calcifications affect therapeutic efficacy, and to identify the best sonication strategy when calcifications are present. Methods: Realistic computational models were used on clinical patient data in order to simulate different therapeutic situations with naturally occurring calcifications as well as artificial calcifications of different sizes (1-10 mm) and distances (5-15 mm). Furthermore, different sonication strategies were tested in order to deliver therapy to the untreated tissue regions behind the calcifications. Results: The presence of calcifications in front of the ultrasound field was found to increase the peak pressure by 100% on average while the maximum temperature only rose by 9% during a 20-s sonication. Losses in ultrasound energy were due to the relatively large acoustic impedance mismatch between the prostate tissue and the calcifications (1.63 vs 3.20 MRayl) and high attenuation coefficient (0.78 vs 2.64 dB/MHz^1.1/cm), which together left untreated tissue regions behind the calcifications. In addition, elevated temperatures were seen in the region between the transducer and the calcifications. Lower sonication frequencies (1-4 MHz) were not able to penetrate through the calcifications effectively, but longer sonication durations (20-60 s) with selective transducer elements were effective in treating the tissue regions behind the calcifications.
Orbital and Super-Orbital Periods of 1E 1740.7-2942 and GRS 1758-258

description: Five years of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the Galactic black-hole candidates 1E 1740.7-2942 and GRS 1758-258 show a periodic modulation with amplitude 3-4% in each source at 12.73 +/- 0.05 dy and 18.45 +/- 0.10 dy, respectively. We interpret the modulations as orbital, suggesting that the objects have red-giant companions. Combining the RXTE data with earlier data (Zhang, Harmon & Liang 1997) from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, we find a long period or quasi-period of about 600 dy in 1E 1740.7-2942, and a suggestion of a similar 600-dy period in GRS 1758-258. These timescales are longer than any yet found for either precessing systems like Her X-1 and SS 433 or binaries like LMC X-3 and Cyg X-1 with more irregular long periods.

description: Recent results on particle momentum and spin correlations are discussed, particularly, in view of the role played by the effect of final state interaction. It is demonstrated that this effect allows for (i) correlation femtoscopy with unlike particles; (ii) study of the relative space--time asymmetries in the production of different particle species (including relative time delays); (iii) study of the particle strong interaction hardly accessible by other means (e.g., in $ΛΛ$ system).

description: The behavior of a cyber-physical system (CPS) is usually defined in terms of the input and output signals processed by sensors and actuators. Requirements specifications of CPSs are typically expressed using signal-based temporal properties. Expressing such requirements is challenging, because of (1) the many features that can be used to characterize a signal behavior; (2) the broad variation in expressiveness of the specification languages (i.e., temporal logics) used for defining signal-based temporal properties. Thus, system and software engineers need effective guidance on selecting appropriate signal behavior types and an adequate specification language, based on the type of requirements they have to define. In this paper, we present a taxonomy of the various types of signal-based properties and provide, for each type, a comprehensive and detailed description as well as a formalization in a temporal logic. Furthermore, we review the expressiveness of state-of-the-art signal-based temporal logics in terms of the property types identified in the taxonomy. Moreover, we report on the application of our taxonomy to classify the requirements specifications of an industrial case study in the aerospace domain, in order to assess the feasibility of using the property types included in our taxonomy and the completeness of the latter.

description: The structure of the fluid carbon phase in the pressure region of the graphite, diamond, and BC8 solid phase is investigated. We find increasing coordination numbers with an increase in density. From zero to $30$ GPa, the liquid shows a decrease of packing efficiency with increasing temperature. However, for higher pressures, the coordination number increases with increasing temperature. Up to $1.5$ eV and independent of the pressure up to $1000$ GPa, a double-peak structure in the ion structure factors exists, indicating persisting covalent bonds. Over the whole pressure range from zero to $1000$ GPa, the fluid structure and properties are strongly determined by such covalent bonds.

description: Numerous lines of evidence indicate how climate change is unfolding in the Arctic (see essay Executive Summary). Understanding and responding to these changes, many of which impact coastal Indigenous communities, can be strengthened by the inclusion of community-based observations. Community-based observations provide a local perspective not available through conventional scientific methods alone and can fill existing spatial or temporal knowledge gaps (Danielsen et al. 2020; Eicken et al. 2021).
