title: Activation and regulation systems for venom phospholipases A2
Creators: name: Lyall, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1984
Subjects: subject: Molecular biology.

description: This thesis was in part a continuation of earlier studies of PLA2 activation by fatty acids and imidazolides (Drainas, Ph.D., 1978) and on the regulation of the enzyme by reaction products and albumin (Camero, M.Sc., 1983). It also involved an investigation into the activation of PLA2 from another source and the consequences of activation in terms of protein modification. Gel electrophoresis and fluorographic techniques confirmed that oleoyl imidazolide covalently binds to PLA2. The activation phenomena found in a chemically defined assay system were confirmed and shown to apply when the enzyme attacked a biological membrane substrate. Both bee and wasp venom PLA2, could be activated by oleoyl imidazolide and fatty acids, and were strongly inhibited by lysolecithin. The role of reaction products and albumin on the modulation of PLA2, is discussed. Studies on the chemistry of acyl imidazolide activation suggested that PLA2 requires one molecule of oleoyl imidazolide for almost complete activation and that this activation is controlled by a group with a pK of about 6.5. Activated PLA2 was protected against inactivation by thiols and trypsin, suggesting that activation of the enzyme is associated with a conformational change in the protein. Chemical modification studies revealed that only activated was protected against the effects of PBPB and the implications of this are discussed.

Proper names do not allow identity maintenance within the basic level
Creators: name: Rhemtulla, Mijke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A fundamental question in the study of concepts concerns the nature of the relationship between kinds and individuals. To what extent is our understanding of an individual's persistence connected to the kind to which it belongs? The current research expands on previous research in the field by exploring how representations of individual entities are affected by transformations within and across basic-level kind membership. In a series of five experiments, adults saw depictions of transformations of animals or artifacts via a machine called an "atom reassembler." They were queried about the object's persistence as an individual (as designated by its proper name) and as a member of its original kind. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants saw transformations of entities that either resulted in an identical object, retained subordinate kind membership (e.g., mallard to different-looking mallard), retained basic kind membership (e.g., mallard to white duck), retained superordinate kind membership (e.g., duck to fish) or crossed domains (e.g., duck to hat). A striking effect emerged: an entity seen to transform within a basic-level kind was less likely to be judged to retain its proper name than one that crossed a basic-level kind boundary. We interpret this result as a within-kind contrast effect: concepts of individuals, designated by proper names, pick out an entity from other members of the same basic-level kind. Thus, participants were unwilling to allow a name to carry through a within-basic kind transformation. Experiments 3 and 4 explored this effect further by varying the extent to which participants were encouraged to consider kind membership while judging individual persistence. These studies revealed that explicit consideration of kind membership is necessary to elicit the effect, but that consideration could be either of basic-level kind or superordinate kind. Finally, in Experiment 5 individual persistence judgments were elicited via distinguishing properties, rather than names. Results revealed that properties are traced very differently across transformations than proper names. We interpret these data as evidence that concepts of individuals, as designated by proper names, are closely tied to basic-level kind membership.

description: It is shown that the concept of a fireball with a definite filamentary structure naturally emerges from the analysis of the spectra of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). These results, made possible by the recently obtained analytic expressions of the equitemporal surfaces in the GRB afterglow, depend crucially on the single parameter R describing the effective area of the fireball emitting the X- and gamma ray radiation. The X- and gamma ray components of the afterglow radiation are shown to have a thermal spectrum in the co-moving frame of the fireball and originate from a stable shock front described self-consistently by the Rankine-Hugoniot equations. Precise predictions are presented on a correlations between spectral changes and intensity variations in the prompt radiation verifiable, e.g., by the Swift and future missions. The highly variable optical and radio emission depends instead on the parameters of the surrounding medium. The GRB 991216 is used as a prototype for this model.

description: Pairwise stability (Jackson and Wolinsky, 1996) is the standard stability concept in network formation. It assumes myopic behavior of the agents in the sense that they do not forecast how others might react to their actions. Assuming that agents are farsighted, related stability concepts have been proposed. We design a simple network formation experiment to test these theories. Our results provide support for farsighted stability and strongly reject the idea of myopic behavior.

description: Black hole X-ray binaries show signs of non-thermal emission in the optical/near-infrared range. We analyze the optical/near-infrared SMARTS data on GX339$-$4 over the 2002--2011 period. Using the soft state data, we estimate the interstellar extinction towards the source and characteristic color temperatures of the accretion disk. We show that various spectral states of regular outbursts occupy similar regions on the color-magnitude diagrams, and that transitions between the states proceed along the same tracks despite substantial differences in the observed light curves morphology. We determine the typical duration of the hard-to-soft and soft-to-hard state transitions and the hard state at the decaying stage of the outburst to be one, two and four weeks, respectively. We find that the failed outbursts cannot be easily distinguished from the regular ones at their early stages, but if the source reaches 16 mag in $V$-band, it will transit to the soft state. By subtracting the contribution of the accretion disk, we obtain the spectra of the non-thermal component, which have constant, nearly flat shape during the transitions between the hard and soft states. In contrast to the slowly evolving non-thermal component seen at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, the mid-infrared spectrum is strongly variable on short timescales and sometimes shows a prominent excess with a cutoff below $10^{14}$ Hz. We show that the radio to optical spectrum can be modeled using three components corresponding to the jet, hot flow and irradiated accretion disk.

Creators: name: Keppel, Patrick
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: bioorthogonal chemistry
subject: click chemistry
subject: self-immolative linker
subject: bond-cleavage

description: In the last decade bioorthogonal bond-cleavage reactions based on the IEDDA (inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder) reaction of trans-cyclooctenes and tetrazines have emerged as a promising strategy for potential in vivo release of target molecules. Since their discovery, numerous approaches have been investigated to optimize their performance in terms of bioorthogonal compatibility, kinetics and complete release of desired target compounds. Recently, the scope of pyridazine elimination has been extended in order to cleave further moieties besides carbamates. Suffering from the limitations mentioned, with regard for the release of phenols and primary amines, the known concept of self-immolative linkers (SIL) was introduced as an encouraging approach to enhance pyridazine elimination kinetics. Two different self-immolative linkers for the release of phenols respectively primary amines were sufficiently introduced that both led to release at highly accelerated kinetics. For the first time in literature, it was possible to achieve almost quantitative release of primary amines. In addition, it was possible to determine the pH dependency (pH 4-9) with regard to the reaction rate of released compounds and to determine their optimum. The pH dependency on the kinetics of click-to-release and selfimmolation emphasized again the importance of environmental sensitivity of the whole disassembly cascade.

description: We compare a deep (37 ks) Chandra ACIS-S image of the M31 bulge to deep [O III] Local Group Survey data of the same region. Through precision image alignment using globular cluster X-ray sources, we are able to improve constraints on possible optical/X-ray associations suggested by previous surveys. Our image registration allows us to rule out several emission-line objects, previously suggested to be the optical counterparts of X-ray sources, as true counterparts. At the same time, we find six X-ray sources peculiarly close to strong [O III] emission-line sources, classified as planetary nebulae (PNe) by previous optical surveys. Our study shows that, while the X-rays are not coming from the same gas as the optical line emission, the chances of these six X-ray sources lying so close to cataloged PNe is only ~1%, suggesting that there is some connection between these [O III] emitters (possibly PNe) and the X-ray sources. We discuss the possibility that these nebulae are misidentified supernova remnants, and we rule out the possibility that the X-ray sources are ejected X-ray binaries. There is a possibility that some cases involve a PN and an LMXB that occupy the same undetected star cluster. Beyond this unconfirmed possibility, and the statistically unlikely one that the associations are spatial coincidences, we are unable to explain these [O III]/X-ray associations.

We study the effect of 3 flavor oscillations in detail and consider the impact on the muon flux induced by these high energy neutrinos, potentially observable by a neutrino telescope located in the Northern hemisphere. A detector in the Mediterranean with an effective area of 1 km^2 and unit detection efficiency should be able to see a signal of about 10 muons per year.

title: Enhancing Monthly Streamflow Prediction Using Meteorological Factors and Machine Learning Models in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Creators: name: Thota, Saichand
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Understanding and predicting streamflow along river basins is vital for planning future developments and ensuring safety, especially with climate change challenges. Our study focused on forecasting streamflow at Lees Ferry, a key location along the Colorado River in the Upper Colorado River Basin. We employed four machine learning models - Random Forest Regression, Long short-term memory, Gated Recurrent Unit, and Seasonal Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average; and combined historical streamflow data with meteorological factors such as snow water equivalent, temperature, and precipitation. Our analysis spanned 30 years of data from 1991 to 2020.
Our findings revealed that the Random Forest Regression model consistently outperformed others, particularly when integrating all meteorological factors with historical streamflow data. Using a 24-month historical data window, our model successfully predicted 12 months of streamflow with a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 2.25 and an R-squared value of 0.80, demonstrating high accuracy. Furthermore, to assess the generalizability of our model, we tested it at other locations within the basin, including Greenwood Springs (Colorado River), Maybell (Yampa River), and Archuleta (San Juan).
By enhancing our understanding of streamflow dynamics and leveraging machine learning techniques, our research aims to provide valuable insights for water resource management and decision-making in the face of climate variability.

description: This paper reports on a detailed performance characterization of a recently developed optical single-sideband (OSSB) laser system based on an IQ modulator and second-harmonic generation for rubidium atom interferometry experiments. The measured performance is used to evaluate the noise contributions of this OSSB laser system when it is applied to drive stimulated Raman transitions in $^{87}$Rb for precision measurements of gravitational acceleration. The laser system suppresses unwanted sideband components, but additional phase shift compensation needs to be applied when performing frequency chirps with such an OSSB laser system. The total phase noise contribution of the OSSB laser system in the current experiment is 72 mrad for a single atom-interferometry sequence with interrogation times of $T=120$ ms, which corresponds to a relative precision of 32 n$g$ per shot. The dominant noise sources are found in the relative intensity fluctuations between sideband and carrier components and the phase noise of the microwave source.

The Effect of Spillovers and Congestion on the Segregative Properties of Endogenous Jurisdiction Structure Formation

subject: Congestion

description: This paper analyzes the effect of spillovers and congestion of local public goods on the segregative properties of endogenous formation of jurisdiction. Households living in the same place form a jurisdiction and produce a local public good, that creates positive spillovers in other jurisdictions and suffers from congestion. In every jurisdiction, the production of the local public good is financed through a local tax on household's wealth. Local wealth tax rates are democratically determined in all jurisdictions. Households also consume housing in their jurisdiction. Any household is free to leave its jurisdiction for another one that would increase its utility. A necessary and sufficient condition to have every stable jurisdiction structure segregated by wealth, for a large class of congestion measure and any spillovers coefficient structure, is identified: the public good must be a gross substitute or a gross complement to the private good and the housing.

description: Using a semi-classical approach, we derive a fully analytical expression for the ionization rate of excitons in two-dimensional materials due to an external static electric field, which eliminates the need for complicated numerical calculations. Our formula shows quantitative agreement with more sophisticated numerical methods based on the exterior complex scaling approach, which solves a non-hermitian eigenvalue problem yielding complex energy eigenvalues, where the imaginary part describes the ionization rate. Results for excitons in hexagonal boron nitride and the $A-$exciton in transition metal dichalcogenides are given as a simple examples. The extension of the theory to include spin-orbit-split excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides is trivial.

description: We extend the WITCH model to consider the possibility to produce and trade electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power plants in highly productive areas that are connected to the demand centres through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables. We find that it becomes optimal to produce with this source only from 2040 and trade from 2050. In the second half of the century, CSP electricity shares become very significant especially when penetration limits are imposed on nuclear power and on carbon capture and storage operations (CCS). Climate policy costs can be reduced by large percentages, up to 66% with respect to corresponding scenarios without the CSP-powered Super-Grid option and with limits on nuclear power and CCS. We also show that MENA countries have the incentive to form a cartel to sell electricity to Europe at a price higher than the marginal cost. Therefore we advocate the institution of an international agency with the role to regulate a hypothetic Mediterranean electricity market.

description: We study the evolution of close binary systems in order to account for the existence of the recently observed binary system containing the most massive millisecond pulsar ever detected, PSR J0740+6620, and its ultra-cool helium white dwarf companion. In order to find a progenitor for this object we compute the evolution of several binary systems composed by a neutron star and a normal donor star employing our stellar code. We assume conservative mass transfer. We also explore the effects of irradiation feedback on the system. We find that irradiated models also provide adequate models for the millisecond pulsar and its companion, so both irradiated and non irradiated systems are good progenitors for PSR J0740+6620. Finally, we obtain a binary system that evolves and accounts for the observational data of the system composed by PSR J0740+6620 (i.e. orbital period, mass, effective temperature and inferred metallicity of the companion, and mass of the neutron star) in a time scale smaller than the age of the Universe. In order to reach an effective temperature as low as observed, the donor star should have an helium envelope as demanded by observations.

description: The structure and the statistical fluctuations of interfaces between coexisting phases in the Asakura-Oosawa (AO) model for a colloid--polymer mixture are analyzed by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We make use of a recently developed grand canonical cluster move with an additional constraint stabilizing the existence of two interfaces in the (rectangular) box that is simulated. Choosing very large systems, of size LxLxD with L=60 and D=120, measured in units of the colloid radius, the spectrum of capillary wave-type interfacial excitations is analyzed in detail. The local position of the interface is defined in terms of a (local) Gibbs surface concept. For small wavevectors capillary wave theory is verified quantitatively, while for larger wavevectors pronounced deviations show up. For wavevectors that correspond to the typical distance between colloids in the colloid-rich phase, the interfacial fluctuations exhibit the same structure as observed in the bulk structure factor. When one analyzes the data in terms of the concept of a wavevector-dependent interfacial tension, a monotonous decrease of this quantity with increasing wavevector is found. Limitations of our analysis are critically discussed.

The lived experience of highly gifted adolescent girls in a radically accelerated high school program
Creators: name: Richardson, Pamela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This phenomenological study employs Gilligan's (2003) "Listening Guide" to examine the experiences of eight highly gifted adolescent girls, ages 13-16, who are attending Canada's only radically accelerated, high school to university transition program. Adolescence is seen as a precarious time for girls and in this period gifted girls have been known to "disappear" as they experience a decline of positive self-concept and loss of identity as gifted individuals. Academic acceleration and self-awareness building are recommended in the literature as two protective strategies against some of the pitfalls gifted adolescent girls encounter. Recent conceptions of giftedness provide alternatives to traditional performance based measures in favour of experiential, phenomenological and feminist approaches that emphasize the quality of an individual's experience, as defined for example by "asynchronous or uneven development, complexity, intensity and heightened awareness" (Silverman, 1997), or social positioning and relative access to resources as a factor in talent development. Through phenomenological interviews and group discussion, this study engages gifted adolescent girls in an examination of their thoughts, feelings and day-to-day experiences as students attending a radically accelerated high school with the goal of early entrance to university. Ten themes that represent the experience of being a highly gifted adolescent girl in a radically accelerated high school program emerged: gendered asynchrony; time outside of school; being gifted; how I learn best; adjusting habits and attitudes regarding the increased workload and pace; favouritism; competition and aggression; a complicated closeness; living social complexity; and fitting in and making friends. The researcher and the participants coanalyzed the data using Gilligan's "Listening Guide". This enables a view from the inside out of what gifted adolescent girls have to lose or gain from radical acceleration and helps them build conscious awareness of the meaning of their experiences. Despite the vast amount of research accomplished in the field of gifted education and psychology, the experience of participants during the research process is never investigated and the suitability of a particular method to gifted individuals is never queried. As such, the perceived benefits of a phenomenological and ' voice-centered method in working with a population of highly gifted adolescent girls are investigated.

description: This paper evaluates the consequences of renewable energy policies on welfare, resource rents and energy costs in a world where carbon pricing is imperfect and the regulator seeks to limit emissions to a (cumulative) target. We use a global general equilibrium model with an intertemporal fossil resource sector. We calculate the optimal second-best renewable energy subsidy and compare the resulting welfare level with an efficient first-best carbon pricing policy. If carbon pricing is permanently missing, mitigation costs increase by a multiple (compared to the optimal carbon pricing policy) for a wide range of parameters describing extraction costs, renewable energy costs, substitution possibilities and normative attitudes. Furthermore, we show that small deviations from the second-best subsidy can lead to strong increases in emissions and consumption losses. This confirms the rising concerns about the occurrence of unintended side effects of climate policy { a new version of the green paradox. We extend our second-best analysis by considering two further types of policy instruments: (1) temporary subsidies that are displaced by carbon pricing in the long run and (2) revenue-neutral instruments like a carbon trust and a feed-in-tariff scheme. Although these instruments cause small welfare losses, they have the potential to ease distributional conflicts as they lead to lower energy prices and higher fossil resource rents than the optimal carbon pricing policy.
Green Energy Development Policy in Georgia

description: The purpose of the article is to analyze the green energy development policy in Georgia and study citizens’ awareness of the need to use renewable energy sources to stop climate change. The article examines Georgia's integrated national energy and climate plan, which covers the period 2021-2030, and outlines the country's commitment to achieving the 2030 goals. The paper also analyzes policies to achieve the long-term goals of the 2050 plan, ensuring compliance with the long-term political goals of the EU, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Energy Union.
The article characterizes the factors that promote and hinder the convergence of Georgia’s energy policy with the requirements of the EU and international policy for the development of green energy. The study provides an analysis of the general legal framework conditions for the production, transmission, distribution, supply and trading of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. Based on a survey of respondents on social networks and processing the results using the IBM SPSS Statistics computer program, information was revealed about insufficient awareness and understanding among respondents of the need to develop green energy and the lack of training programs in the field of education.
In conclusion, the authors of the scientific article, summing up the economic policy for the development of green energy, proposed the introduction of a low symbolic municipal tax on environmental management in the regions and cities of Georgia, as well as the need to introduce new curricula for the study of green energy and climate change in educational institutions.

Effective CP violation in the Standard Model

description: We study the strength of effective CP violation originating from the CKM matrix in the effective action obtained by integrating out the fermions in the Standard Model. Using results obtained by Salcedo for the effective action in a general chiral gauge model, we find that there are no CKM CP-violating terms to fourth order in a gauge-covariant derivative expansion that is non-perturbative in the Higgs field. The details of the calculation suggest that, at zero temperature, the strength of CP violation is approximately independent of the overall scale of the Yukawa couplings. Thus, order of magnitude estimates based on Jarlskog's invariant could be too small by a factor of about 10^{17}.

Readiness of Estonian Entrepreneurs for a Paradigm Shift in the Accounting Field
Creators: name: Güldenkoh, Maret
name: Silberg, Uno

Publisher: name: Estonian Discussions on Economic Policy
Year: 2024

description: The article discusses future trends in accounting policy that will bring about a paradigm shift in the accounting field. So far, accounting has focused primarily on interpreting and explaining financial indicators and describing other trends in business activity only in the annual report. The accounting field is expanding, and in addition to customary reports, sustainable development reports will soon need to be submitted, which will detail the impacts on the environment, employees, and the systematic management of the entire organization.
First discusses in the article the interrelation between the environment and economic activity, as well as the nature of sustainability reporting arising from environmental policy, is discussed. The focus is on the necessity of sustainability reporting and the changes it entails.
Then an overview is given of accounting changes that have taken place in Estonia, and the readiness of medium and large enterprises in Estonia to use sustainability reporting is examined. The article explains other changes that come with sustainability reporting and the need for data digitalization and use in real-time economy. The purpose was to determine entrepreneurs' readiness for a paradigm shift in the accounting field. In order to achieve the objective, a quantitative research methodology was employed, data was collected through a questionnaire, and the Likert scale was used to measure the responses.
A study conducted among medium and large enterprises found that they have adopted the principles of sustainable reporting and expect that if digitization and standardization are implemented at the state level and reporting moves automatically in real-time, their administrative burden will decrease. Large companies are ready for a paradigm shift in accounting, while medium-sized companies tend to take a wait-and-see approach

Bose-Bose mixtures in a weak-disorder potential: Fluctuations and superfluidity

description: We study the properties of a homogeneous dilute Bose-Bose gas in a weak-disorder potential at zero temperature. By using the perturbation theory, we calculate the disorder corrections to the condensate density, the equation of state, the compressibility, and the superfluid density as a function of density, strength of disorder, and miscibility parameter. It is found that the disorder potential may lead to modifying the miscibility-immiscibility condition and a full miscible phase turns out to be impossible in the presence of the disorder. We show that the intriguing interplay of the disorder and intra- and interspecies interactions may strongly influence the localization of each component, the quantum fluctuations, and the compressibility, as well as the superfluidity of the system.
