description: We consider recursive decoding for Reed-Muller (RM) codes and their subcodes. Two new recursive techniques are described. We analyze asymptotic properties of these algorithms and show that they substantially outperform other decoding algorithms with nonexponential complexity known for RM codes. Decoding performance is further enhanced by using intermediate code lists and permutation procedures. For moderate lengths up to 512, near-optimum decoding with feasible complexity is obtained.

description: Background: In the era of declining HIV/AIDS prevalence, low penetration of Information Education and Counseling (IEC) activities, particularly among the rural community is still a matter of concern for public health officials. Integrated Counseling and Testing Centers (ICTC’s) are key entry points for a wide range of interventions in HIV awareness, prevention and care in India. Objective: The objective of current study was to assess the socio-demographic profile and risk behavior of attendees who tested seropositive at our ICTC clinic. Methodology: A prospective questionnaire based study from August 2009 to December 2013 was conducted in the ICTC attached to Microbiology department of SGPGIMS to enumerate the socio-demographic and risk behavior pattern of HIV positive cases. Result: Among 16038 attendees investigated during the study, 298(1.86%) tested positive for HIV with a male to female ratio of 2.24:1. Maximum seropositivity (35.6%) was found in the age group of 31-40 years followed by 21-30 years age group (26.8%). Most of the study individuals were married (86.6%) and belonged to rural community. Unprotected heterosexual route was found to be the commonest (71.1%) mode of infection. The majority of the subjects had received education up to primary (36.2%) and secondary level (31.9%). Conclusion: The rural population and the sexually active and economically productive age group dominated among the HIV seropositives presenting at this centre. Heterosexual route is still the predominant mode of transmission among seropositives. Recommendation: The planning and designing of IEC activities should be based on socio-demographic profile and risk behavior pattern of a particular area.
“Under my own care”: motherhood and poverty in New South Wales and Gloucestershire 1820–1834

description: Since the 1960s, scholars have passionately debated whether mothers from the middle ages to the nineteenth century loved their children. Yet historians have only superficially examined the emotional relationships between women and their offspring. Building on this debate, this thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of motherhood and poverty in three ways. First, it probes the complexities of poor mothers’ emotional interactions with their children. Second, it examines some of the different ways that women expressed their moral and financial connections with their offspring. Finally, it brings a new lens to the study of motherhood and poverty by comparing mother-child relationships in Gloucestershire and New South Wales. Taking letters that mothers wrote to the parish in Gloucestershire, and petitions to admit children to, and withdraw children from, the Sydney Orphan Schools, this thesis compares how women’s relationships with their children are revealed in these different contexts between 1820 and 1834. It argues that poor mothers expressed or described instances of care for children in order to claim authority over them. In doing so, this research advances the work of historians who have revealed the agency of the poor, by suggesting that in this process, poor mothers also claimed authority.

description: The Camassa-Holm equation and its two-component Camassa-Holm system generalization both experience wave breaking in finite time. To analyze this, and to obtain solutions past wave breaking, it is common to reformulate the original equation given in Eulerian coordinates, into a system of ordinary differential equations in Lagrangian coordinates. It is of considerable interest to study the stability of solutions and how this is manifested in Eulerian and Lagrangian variables. We identify criteria of convergence, such that convergence in Eulerian coordinates is equivalent to convergence in Lagrangian coordinates. In addition, we show how one can approximate global conservative solutions of the scalar Camassa-Holm equation by smooth solutions of the two-component Camassa-Holm system that do not experience wave breaking.

description: We present a detailed study of a molecular outflow feature in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 using ALMA. We find that this feature is clearly associated with the edge of NGC 253's prominent ionized outflow, has a projected length of ~300 pc, with a width of ~50 pc and a velocity dispersion of ~40 km s^-1, consistent with an ejection from the disk about 1 Myr ago. The kinematics of the molecular gas in this feature can be interpreted (albeit not uniquely) as accelerating at a rate of 1 km s^-1 pc^-1. In this scenario, the gas is approaching escape velocity at the last measured point. Strikingly, bright tracers of dense molecular gas (HCN, CN, HCO+, CS) are also detected in the molecular outflow: We measure an HCN(1-0)/CO(1-0) line ratio of ~1/10 in the outflow, similar to that in the central starburst region of NGC 253 and other starburst galaxies. By contrast, the HCN/CO line ratio in the NGC 253 disk is significantly lower (~1/30), similar to other nearby galaxy disks. This strongly suggests that the streamer gas originates from the starburst, and that its physical state does not change significantly over timescales of ~1 Myr during its entrainment in the outflow. Simple calculations indicate that radiation pressure is not the main mechanism for driving the outflow. The presence of such dense material in molecular outflows needs to be accounted for in simulations of galactic outflows.

description: In this article, we formulate the generation of optomechanical entanglement between the linearly coupled cavity field and the mechanical resonator as an optimal control problem in hyperbolic space $H^3$, with control input the coupling rate of the two oscillators. Next, we use optimal control theory to find the allowed optimal values of the coupling which maximize the amount of generated entanglement for a fixed duration of the interaction. Finally, we employ a numerical optimization method to obtain the exact optimal pulse sequences for several illustrative examples. In the strong coupling regime, where the coupling rate is comparable or larger than the frequency of the mechanical resonator, a substantial amount of entanglement can be generated within a fraction of a single oscillator period.

description: The coherent optical response from 140~nm and 65~nm thick ZnO epitaxial layers is studied using transient four-wave-mixing spectroscopy with picosecond temporal resolution. Resonant excitation of neutral donor-bound excitons results in two-pulse and three-pulse photon echoes. For the donor-bound A exciton (D$^0$X$_\text{A}$) at temperature of 1.8~K we evaluate optical coherence times $T_2=33-50$~ps corresponding to homogeneous linewidths of $13-19~μ$eV, about two orders of magnitude smaller as compared with the inhomogeneous broadening of the optical transitions. The coherent dynamics is determined mainly by the population decay with time $T_1=30-40$~ps, while pure dephasing is negligible in the studied high quality samples even for strong optical excitation. Temperature increase leads to a significant shortening of $T_2$ due to interaction with acoustic phonons. In contrast, the loss of coherence of the donor-bound B exciton (D$^0$X$_\text{B}$) is significantly faster ($T_2=3.6$~ps) and governed by pure dephasing processes.

Optimisation of glycomics analysis and the effect of inflammation on protein glycosylation in the central nervous system
Creators: name: Ashwood, Christopher David
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Glycomics aims to comprehensively study the entire complement of sugars found in an organism and ideally needs to detect and quantify each individual glycan structure present. Using liquid chromatography in tandem with mass-spectrometry allows separation, characterisation and quantitation of released glycan structures from biological samples, improving our understanding of the role glycosylation plays in life. For the nervous system, which is the most essential signalling system in the human body, the role of protein glycosylation is still largely not understood. The application of liquid chromatography with mass-spectrometry for glycan analysis has been frequently performed over the past twenty years but the analysis of generated data is largely manual. Furthermore, there is no established workflow for the quantitation on glycans, independent of instrument manufacturer. Addressing this gap, we have established or optimised methods for obtaining glycan data from LC-MS systems, improved the characterisation of glycans using reproducible fragmentation methods and retention time normalisation and automated the assignment of glycan structure in challenging applications. Toll-like receptor 4 is one of the research targets for understanding the signalling pathways involved in the human pain response due to its role as a membrane protein which mediates inflammation to both foreign and endogenous molecules. As glycosylation plays a role in cell-to-cell signalling, it is expected, but not yet established, that the activation of the toll-like receptor 4 pathway will result in changes to the cell surfaces involved in transmitting the signals involved in pain transduction. Furthermore, the abundance of toll-like receptor 4 in normal and activated signalling states has not yet been understood, despite the importance of receptor abundance in understanding a signalling pathway. We have approached this signalling pathway with both in vivo and in vitro models observing up-regulation of core-fucosylation on proteins secreted by cell lines and identified a positive correlation of the paucimannose glycan class on specific brain regions to increased pain sensitivity. In addition, we have described the detection of toll-like receptor 4 in published studies and developed targeted methods to detect it and its partner, myeloid-differentiation factor 2.

description: Background: Alopecia areata is an immune-mediated disease presenting with sudden onset of nonscarring hair loss. Onset is more common earlier in life, and little is known regarding late-onset alopecia areata. Objectives: To describe the epidemiology, clinical patterns, disease course, and outcome of late-onset alopecia areata in Israeli patients referred to a tertiary medical center. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study considered patients whose disease onset occurred at age ≥50 years. Patients were recruited from among all alopecia areata patients visiting a tertiary center between January 2009 and April 2015. Results: Of the 29 people included, 25 (86.2%) were female (female-to-male ratio, 6.2:1). There was a family history of alopecia areata in 17.2%, thyroid disease in 31%, atopic background in 6.9%, and 17/29 (58.6%) reported a significant stressful event. The most common disease pattern was patchy, and disease was mild in the majority of participants. Complete hair regrowth was observed in 82.8% of participants, and 37.9% relapsed. Conclusion: Late-onset alopecia areata is characterized by marked female predominance, less extensive disease, and a high incidence of complete hair regrowth.

description: Biocompatible microencapsulation is of widespread interest for the targeted delivery of active species in fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and agro-chemistry. Capsules obtained by the self-assembly of polymers at interfaces enable the combination of responsiveness to stimuli, biocompatibility and scaled up production. Here, we present a one-step method to produce in situ membranes at oil-water interfaces, based on the hydrogen bond complexation of polymers between H-bond acceptor and donor in the oil and aqueous phases, respectively. This robust process is realized through different methods, to obtain capsules of various sizes, from the micrometer scale using microfluidics or rotor-stator emulsification up to the centimeter scale using drop dripping. The polymer layer exhibits unique self-healing and pH-responsive properties. The membrane is viscoelastic at pH = 3, softens as pH is progressively raised, and eventually dissolves above pH = 6 to release the oil phase. This one-step method of preparation paves the way to the production of large quantities of functional capsules.

description: We have studied the Kondo effect of a spin-1/2 impurity coupled to a two-dimensional altermagnet host material. To attain the low-temperature many-body Kondo physics of the system, we have performed a numerical renormalization group calculations that allows us to access the spectral properties of the system at zero temperature. The impurity spectral function and the Kondo temperature were calculated for different set of parameters, including Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) and an external magnetic field. Interestingly, in the RSOC and altermagnetic fields, the hybridization function is spin independent, despite the characteristic broken time-reversal symmetry of the altermagnet. This is because the alternating sign of the spin splitting of the bands in the momentum space renders equal contributions for both spin components of the hybridization function. Our results demonstrate that, although the hybridization function is time-reversal symmetric, the Kondo temperature is substantially suppressed by the altermagnet coupling. Moreover, we have investigated the effect of an external magnetic field applied in the altermagnet along different directions. Interestingly, we observe an important restraining of the Kondo peak which depends strongly on the direction of the field. This anisotropic effect is, however, masked if strong Zeeman splitting takes place at the impurity, as it shatters the Kondo-singlet state.

description: The reverse transcriptase and protease- inhibitors form the backbone of the AIDS control programme in India. Increasing reports on transmitted and second line antiretroviral resistance alarms the need for new drugs that could be used for effective patient management. In 2007, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of CCR5 antagonist in HIV-1 infected treatment experienced patients. Thus, we aimed to determine the clinical feasibility of using CCR5 antagonist in HIV- 1 infected treatment naïve (n=23) and experienced (n=22) patients. Cotropism testing, CCR5 genotyping and mutational resistance profile for first - and second line antiretroviral drugs were determined for each patient. None of the patients (0%, 0/45) conferred mutant CCR5 genotype. HIV-1 subtype ‘C’ was found to be predominant in 95.6% (43/45, 95% CI:84- 100) patients, while 4.4% patients (2/45, 95% CI:0-16) were infected with circulating recombinant forms. Mutational testing reported 43.4% (10/23, 95% CI:26-63) treatment naive and 36.3% (8/22, 95% CI:20-57) treatment experienced patients to confer first - and/or second- line antiretroviral drug resistance. Further, cotropism testing revealed use of R5 coreceptor for viral entry in 80% (8/10, 95% CI:48-95) treatment naive and 37.5% (3/8, 95% CI:13-70) treatment experienced drug resistant patients; indicating CCR5 antagonists should be considered for treating HIV-1 infected patients in India.

description: We report an accessible and robust tool for evaluating the effects of Coulomb collisions on a test particle in a plasma that obeys Maxwell-Jüttner statistics. The implementation is based on the Beliaev-Budker collision integral which allows both the test particle and the background plasma to be relativistic. The integration method supports adaptive time stepping, which is shown to greatly improve the computational efficiency. The Monte Carlo method is implemented for both the three-dimensional particle momentum space and the five-dimensional guiding center phase space. Detailed description is provided for both the physics and implementation of the operator. The focus is in adaptive integration of stochastic differential equations, which is an overlooked aspect among existing Monte Carlo implementations of Coulomb collision operators. We verify that our operator converges to known analytical results and demonstrate that careless implementation of the adaptive time step can lead to severely erroneous results. The operator is provided as a self-contained Fortran 95 module and can be included into existing orbit-following tools that trace either the full Larmor motion or the guiding center dynamics. The adaptive time-stepping algorithm is expected to be useful in situations where the collision frequencies vary greatly over the course of a simulation. Examples include the slowing-down of fusion products or other fast ions, and the Dreicer generation of runaway electrons as well as the generation of fast ions or electrons with ion or electron cyclotron resonance heating.
Soft decision decoding of Reed-Muller codes: recursive lists

Year: 2017

description: Recursive list decoding is considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes. The algorithm repeatedly relegates itself to the shorter RM codes by recalculating the posterior probabilities of their symbols. Intermediate decodings are only performed when these recalculations reach the trivial RM codes. In turn, the updated lists of most plausible codewords are used in subsequent decodings. The algorithm is further improved by using permutation techniques on code positions and by eliminating the most error-prone information bits. Simulation results show that for all RM codes of length 256 and many subcodes of length 512, these algorithms approach maximum-likelihood (ML) performance within a margin of 0.1 dB. As a result, we present tight experimental bounds on ML performance for these codes.

description: Everett's interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed to avoid problems inherent in the prevailing interpretational frame. It assumes that quantum mechanics can be applied to any system and that the state vector always evolves unitarily. It then claims that whenever an observable is measured, all possible results of the measurement exist. This assertion of multiplicity has been understood in many ways by proponents of Everett's theory. Here we shall illustrate how different views on multiplicity carry onto different views on spacetime.

description: Here we present the first steps in developing a global multi-model aerosol forecasting ensemble intended for eventual operational and basic research use. Drawing from members of the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP) latest generation of quasi-operational aerosol models, 5-day aerosol optical thickness (AOT) forecasts are analyzed for December 2011 through November 2012 from four institutions: European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and Naval Research Lab/Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (NRL/FNMOC). For dust, we also include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NOAA NGAC) product in our analysis. The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and UK Met Office dust products have also recently become members of ICAP, but have insufficient data to be included in this analysis period. A simple consensus ensemble of member and mean AOT fields for modal species (e.g., fine and coarse mode, and a separate dust ensemble) is used to create the ICAP Multi-Model Ensemble (ICAP-MME). The ICAP-MME is run daily at 00:00 UTC for 6-hourly forecasts out to 120 h. Basing metrics on comparisons to 21 regionally representative Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) sites, all models generally captured the basic aerosol features of the globe. However, there is an overall AOT low bias among models, particularly for high AOT events. Biomass burning regions have the most diversity in seasonal average AOT. The Southern Ocean, though low in AOT, nevertheless also has high diversity. With regard to root mean square error (RMSE), as expected the ICAP-MME placed first over all models worldwide, and was typically first or second in ranking against all models at individual sites. These results are encouraging; furthermore, as more global operational aerosol models come online, we expect their inclusion in a robust operational multi-model ensemble will provide valuable aerosol forecasting guidance.

description: We consider a semi-infinite dielectric with multiple spatially dispersive resonances in the susceptibility. The effect of the boundary is described by an arbitrary reflection coefficient for polarization waves in the material at the surface, with specific values corresponding to various additional boundary conditions (ABCs) for Maxwell's equations. We derive exact expressions for the electromagnetic reflection and transmission coefficients and present the results for a variety of materials with multiple exciton bands. We find an improved single-band approximation for heavy/light exciton bands and extend our model to exciton dispersion relations with linear $k$ terms which occur in uniaxial crystals. Finally, we calculate the spectral energy density of thermal and zero-point radiation for a variety of multi-resonance models and ABCs.

description: Recursive decoding techniques are considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes of growing length $n$ and fixed order $r.$ An algorithm is designed that has complexity of order $n\log n$ and corrects most error patterns of weight up to $n(1/2-\varepsilon)$ given that $\varepsilon$ exceeds $n^{-1/2^{r}}.$ This improves the asymptotic bounds known for decoding RM codes with nonexponential complexity.

description: Rayleigh-Brillouin spectral profiles are measured with a laser-based scatterometry setup for a 90 degrees scattering angle at a high signal-to-noise ratio (r.m.s. noise below 0.15 \% w.r.t. peak intensity) in sulphur-hexafluoride gas for pressures in the range 0.2 -- 5 bar and for a wavelength of $λ=403.0$ nm. The high quality data are compared to a number of light scattering models in order to address the effects of rotational and vibrational relaxation. While the vibrational relaxation rate is so slow that vibration degrees of freedom remain frozen, rotations relax on time scales comparable to those of the density fluctuations. Therefore, the heat capacity, the thermal conductivity and the bulk viscosity are all frequency-dependent transport coefficients. This is relevant for the Tenti model that depends on the values chosen for these transport coefficients. This is not the case for the other two models considered: a kinetic model based on rough-sphere interactions, and a model based on fluctuating hydrodynamics. The deviations with the experiment are similar between the three different models, except for the hydrodynamic model at pressures $p \lesssim 2\;{\rm bar}$. As all models are in line with the ideal gas law, we hypothesize the presence of real gas effects in the measured spectra.

A comparative study of anthropogenic antimicrobial pollution on Australia’s little penguins

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis presents a synthesis of the literature on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wildbirds, in order to ascertain whether there are any traits, physiological or ecological, that are associated with the acquisition and retention of resistant organisms in wild birds. Major knowledge gaps were identified in types of bird species and bacterial species targeted for investigating AMR in wild birds. This was particularly evident in the Australian context. In Australia, the little penguin (Eudyptula minor) is an iconic marine bird that spends the majority of its life at sea. The life history of the little penguin potentially increases the species’ opportunity for exposure to resistant organisms present in the marine environment, making these birds an ideal study species for the investigation of the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Little penguin colonies in Australia are widely distributed, with mainland and island colonies ranging from New South Wales on the East coast to Western Australia. These colonies experience differing levels of human influences ranging from isolated off-shore islands to mainland sites highly frequented by tourists. There are also several little penguin colonies in captive institutions in Australia, enabling comparison of resistant determinants between wild and captive little penguins. After identifying the little penguin as a key species to investigate in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance from humans to wild birds, the aim of this study was to examine the bacterial community of wild and captive little penguins to determine if the class 1 integron, a mobile element that confers antibiotic resistance, was present in their faecal microbiota. In addition, two Gram-negative bacterial species of clinical relevance, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were genetically characterised and assessed for the presence of class 1 integrons to elucidate if the bacterial species harbouring the class 1 integrons are human associated. Understanding the presence of organisms carrying resistance traits in the host is an important step towards understanding if human antimicrobial pollution is contributing to the decline seen in little penguin colonies across Australia, as such acquisition may affect little penguin health. Defining alterations caused by the acquisition of resistance determinants could thus help shape conservation practices for future management of the little penguin.

description: Dirac points (DP) in Hermitian systems play a key role in topological phenomena. Their existence in non-Hermitian systems is then desirable, but the addition of loss or gain transforms DPs into pairs of Exceptional Points (EPs) joined by a Fermi arc, which exhibit interesting but different properties. When the transition to a non-Hermitian system results from the opening of a radiation channel, the system can also support bound states in the continuum (BICs), which are non-radiative resonant states that appear within the band of radiation states. We theoretically show that simultaneous band-crossing of two BICs can prevent the formation of EPs and Fermi arcs, resulting in genuine Hermitian DPs, which are nonetheless embedded in the continuum of radiation states. Dirac points embedded in the continuum (DECs) are a new topological entity that combines the rich physics associated with DPs with the ideal resonant properties of BICs in non-Hermitian systems.

description: Signal transduction within biological cells is governed by networks of interacting proteins. Communication between these proteins is mediated by signaling molecules which bind to receptors and induce stochastic transitions between different conformational states. Signaling is typically a cooperative process which requires the occurrence of multiple binding events so that reaction rates have a nonlinear dependence on the amount of signaling molecule. It is this nonlinearity that endows biological signaling networks with robust switch-like properties which are critical to their biological function. In this study, we investigate how the properties of these signaling systems depend on the network architecture. Our main result is that these nonlinear networks exhibit bistability where the network activity can switch between states that correspond to a low and high activity level. We show that this bistable regime emerges at a critical coupling strength that is determined by the spectral structure of the network. In particular, the set of nodes that correspond to large components of the leading eigenvector of the adjacency matrix determines the onset of bistability. Above this transition, the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix determine a hierarchy of clusters, defined by its spectral properties, which are activated sequentially with increasing network activity. We argue further that the onset of bistability occurs either continuously or discontinuously depending upon whether the leading eigenvector is localized or delocalized. Finally, we show that at low network coupling stochastic transitions to the active branch are also driven by the set of nodes that contribute more strongly to the leading eigenvector.

Semantic Similarity from Natural Language and Ontology Analysis

description: Artificial Intelligence federates numerous scientific fields in the aim of developing machines able to assist human operators performing complex treatments -- most of which demand high cognitive skills (e.g. learning or decision processes). Central to this quest is to give machines the ability to estimate the likeness or similarity between things in the way human beings estimate the similarity between stimuli. In this context, this book focuses on semantic measures: approaches designed for comparing semantic entities such as units of language, e.g. words, sentences, or concepts and instances defined into knowledge bases. The aim of these measures is to assess the similarity or relatedness of such semantic entities by taking into account their semantics, i.e. their meaning -- intuitively, the words tea and coffee, which both refer to stimulating beverage, will be estimated to be more semantically similar than the words toffee (confection) and coffee, despite that the last pair has a higher syntactic similarity. The two state-of-the-art approaches for estimating and quantifying semantic similarities/relatedness of semantic entities are presented in detail: the first one relies on corpora analysis and is based on Natural Language Processing techniques and semantic models while the second is based on more or less formal, computer-readable and workable forms of knowledge such as semantic networks, thesaurus or ontologies. (...) Beyond a simple inventory and categorization of existing measures, the aim of this monograph is to convey novices as well as researchers of these domains towards a better understanding of semantic similarity estimation and more generally semantic measures.

Band Gap Modulation of SrTiO3 upon CO2 Adsorption

description: CO2 chemisorption on SrTiO3(001) surfaces is studied using ab initio calculations in order to establish new chemical sensing mechanisms. We find that CO2 adsorption opens the material band gap, however, while the adsorption on the TiO2-terminated surface neutralizes surface states at the valence band (VB) maximum, CO2 on the SrO-terminated surfaces suppresses the conduction band (CB) minimum. For the TiO2-terminated surface, the effect is explained by the passivation of dangling bonds, whereas for the SrO-terminated surface, the suppression is caused by the surface relaxation. Modulation of the VB states implies a more direct change in charge distribution, and thus the induced change in band gap is more prominent at the TiO2 termination. Further, we show that both CO2 adsorption energy and surface band gap are strongly dependent on CO2 coverage, suggesting that the observed effect can be utilized for sensing application in a wide range of CO2 concentrations.

description: Robustness of spatial pattern against perturbations is an indispensable property of developmental processes for organisms, which need to adapt to changing environments. Although specific mechanisms for this robustness have been extensively investigated, little is known about a general mechanism for achieving robustness in reaction-diffusion systems. Here, we propose a buffered reaction-diffusion system, in which active states of chemicals mediated by buffer molecules contribute to reactions, and demonstrate that robustness of the pattern wavelength is achieved by the dynamics of the buffer molecule. This robustness is analytically explained as a result of the scaling properties of the buffered system, which also lead to a reciprocal relationship between the wavelength's robustness and the plasticity of the spatial phase upon external perturbations. Finally, we explore the relevance of this reciprocity to biological systems.
