Exuberant Architecture : Towards a Gender Inclusive Hair Space
Creators: name: Chen, Arkgo Yun Hsi
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Long or short, straight or curly, even completely bald – hair is a crucial social and cultural indicator and an instant visual cue of one’s gender identity. The topic of gender identity and hair space is extensive in describing not only the role of hair in displaying social identity but also the importance of barbershops within the greater city network. Often barbershops are spaces where gender is expressed, performed and constructed. It is an architectural space where self-identity is fully nurtured and respected. What can architecture draw from gender theorists? How would we come about to design a community that is open to a variety of flexible idiosyncrasies? Gender inclusive space shall be an entirely fluid space that share a sense of belonging and identity that celebrates sexuality and gender rather than hiding it. All in all, the aim of this thesis is to address gender identity, inclusivity, and social issues in architecture. The blurring of gender boundaries aims to create a third space for other definitions beyond the two sexes. It is no longer a question of whether this will happen, but a matter of when.
title: Evaluation of a rat model for mumps virus neurovirulence testing
Creators: name: Powell, Caroline Louise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Safety is an important aspect in the licensing of any vaccine. Prior to placement on the market, any risks and side-effects attributable to the vaccine must be as well documented as possible. One of the main priorities in the safety of a vaccine containing live microorganisms is the level of neurovirulent activity of the vaccine components. Every batch of the oral polio vaccine is tested for neurovirulent activity by inoculation into the central nervous system of macaques. Seed stocks for the live mumps virus vaccines are tested likewise. However, relying on the macaque model is an inadequate marker of neurovirulence of mumps vaccines as the animal system does not fully mimic the human pathological processes, thereby making results difficult to interpret. Further inadequacies of this model include the small experimental group used, the cost of purchasing and maintaining macaques, as well as the ethics involved in using non-human primates. As a result, many alternative animal models have been investigated, from using different monkey species to using smaller animals. Of the animal models investigated, the marmoset monkey model shows prospects; however, the use of large animals is not desirable. Of the smaller animal models, the rat model, currently being developed by the Food and Drug Administration in USA and NIBSC, holds many advantages. Rats are cheaper, easier to handle and can be used in larger experimental groups, and the CNS of neonatal rats shows recordable and reproducible susceptibility to the mumps virus. The aim of this project was to evaluate the rat model using various vaccine, vaccine-derived and wild-type viruses. These were used in order to establish if the model can distinguish between virulent wild-type and attenuated vaccine strains and mixed and pure preparations of vaccines of a related strain shown to have caused meningitis in children. The results conclude that the neonatal rat model is on a par with the macaque model in distinguishing between wild-type and vaccine strains; however, neither model can distinguish between a vaccine and its derived variants causing adverse events in the recipients. However, a smaller animal model is more desirable and the method of diagnosing neurovirulent activity in rats, by measuring the enlargement of the lateral ventricle, is much simpler than histological analysis of lesions in the macaque brain. The results of the FDA/NIBSC collaboration showed varying degrees of difference, highlighting a need to standardize the test for future applications.
Brane Cosmology with Matter in the Bulk (II)

description: We derive exact solutions of the Einstein equations in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with matter on the brane and in the bulk. We present two models in which the brane moves within a time-dependent bulk. We study the cosmological evolution on the brane. Our solutions display novel behaviour, such as an expansion driven only by the bulk matter and the appearance of a ``mirage'' dust component on the brane.

description: The main objective of this research is to examine the degree of satisfaction of Young Farmers with the programs they have joined. The data were collected by Young Farmers of the Regional Unit of Kozani, of the Region of Western Macedonia using a structured questionnaire. The obtained data were processed using SPSS program and then analyzed by checking the static index x^2. The people who participated in the research were either Young Farmers who had joined Measure 1.1.2 of the Rural Development Program 2007-2013, or Young Farmers who had joined Sub-Measure 6.1 of the Rural Development Pro-gram 2014-2020. The total number of questionnaires used for the present work and ana-lyzed was 103. The results showed that the degree of satisfaction of the respondents is related to the problems that each faced both during the integration and during the completion. of the program. In addition, the satisfaction of the respondents regarding the respective program seems to be influenced by the educational level of each as well as by his first financial ability.

description: We examine the dependence of the physical quantities of the rotatory molecular motor, such as the rotation velocity and the proton translocation rate, on the chemical reaction rate using the model based only on diffusion process. A peculiar behavior of proton translocation is found and the energy transduction efficiency of the motor protein is enhanced by this behavior. We give a natural explanation that this behavior is universal when certain inequalities between chemical reaction rates hold. That may give a clue to examine whether the motion of the molecular motor is dominated by diffusion process or not.

description: Background and aims: Sharing of unsterile injection equipment contributes to transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) among people who inject drugs (PWID) but is largely preventable through needle exchange programmes (NEP). Sweden has been one of the last countries in Europe to scale up access to NEP for PWID, who consequently have high prevalence rates of HCV and HIV. The aim of the study was to investigate demographic and drug-related determinants of injection risk behaviours, sharing of needle/syringe and paraphernalia, and patterns of change over time in subgroups of PWID participating in the Stockholm NEP. Methods: The Stockholm NEP started in 2013 as the first formal NEP in the region. A total of 2860 PWID were included in this prospective open cohort study. The association between demographic and drug-related determinants and injection risk behaviours were analysed at baseline and followed up at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months post-enrolment. Results: The following factors were associated with high levels of injection risk behaviours at inclusion: female gender, homelessness, low education level, younger age, amphetamine use, not in opioid substitution therapy (OST), being HIV negative and being HCV positive. We found an overall significant decrease in injection risk behaviours over time among participants. Not previously investigated in depth, we found that subgroups of participants varied in degrees of injection risk behaviour reduction over time and that women decreased injection risk behaviours faster than men. Enrolment in OST, HIV positive and age <25 years at inclusion were not associated with a decrease in injection risk behaviours over time. Conclusions: In this prospective cohort study over 4 years, we found that NEP participation was associated with a significant decrease in injection risk behaviours.
Improved Lower Bounds for Locally Decodable Codes and Private Information Retrieval

description: We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding n-bit strings over an l-bit alphabet, where the decoder only uses b bits of each queried position of the codeword, needs code length m = exp(Omega(n/(2^b Sum_{i=0}^b {l choose i}))) Similarly, a 2-server PIR scheme with an n-bit database and t-bit queries, where the user only needs b bits from each of the two l-bit answers, unknown to the servers, satisfies t = Omega(n/(2^b Sum_{i=0}^b {l choose i})). This implies that several known PIR schemes are close to optimal. Our results generalize those of Goldreich et al. who proved roughly the same bounds for linear LDCs and PIRs. Like earlier work by Kerenidis and de Wolf, our classical lower bounds are proved using quantum computational techniques. In particular, we give a tight analysis of how well a 2-input function can be computed from a quantum superposition of both inputs.

Time-information uncertainty relations in thermodynamics

description: Physical systems that power motion and create structure in a fixed amount of time dissipate energy and produce entropy. Whether living or synthetic, systems performing these dynamic functions must balance dissipation and speed. Here, we show that rates of energy and entropy exchange are subject to a speed limit -- a time-information uncertainty relation -- imposed by the rates of change in the information content of the system. This uncertainty relation bounds the time that elapses before the change in a thermodynamic quantity has the same magnitude as its initial standard deviation. From this general bound, we establish a family of speed limits for heat, work, entropy production, and entropy flow depending on the experimental constraints on the system. In all of these inequalities, the time scale of transient dynamical fluctuations is universally bounded by the Fisher information. Moreover, they all have a mathematical form that mirrors the Mandelstam-Tamm version of the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics. These bounds on the speed of arbitrary observables apply to transient systems away from thermodynamic equilibrium, independent of the physical assumptions about the stochastic dynamics or their function.

description: There have been two different proposals for the spin-triplet order parameter of the superconducting phase in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$; an $f$-wave order parameter and the multigap model where some of the bands have the line node. In an effort to propose an experiment that can distinguish two cases, we study the behavior of the supercurrent and compute the critical current for these order parameters when the sample is a thin film with the thickness $d \ll ξ$ where $ξ$ is the coherence length. It is found that the supercurrent behaves very differently in two models. This will serve as a sharp test for the identification of the correct order parameter.

description: In this research, the objective was to utilized LSTM based models for stock trend predictions. For my study, I have used S&P 500 index values for 20 years as data. An RNN model was used as a benchmark. In comparison, four kinds of LSTM models, including Vanilla LSTM, Stacked LSTM, Bidirectional LSTM and CNN-LSTM were built. In this work, the input was the daily close price of the S&P 500 index, the output of the model was compared with the actual stock price data by using root mean squared error.
Test of non-commutative QED in the process e+e- -> gamma gamma at LEP
Creators: name: The OPAL Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-commutative QED would lead to deviations from the Standard Model depending on a new energy scale Lambda_NC and a unique direction in space defined by two angles eta and xi. Here in this analysis eta is defined as the angle between the unique direction and the rotation axis of the earth. The predictions of such a theory for the process e+e- -> gamma gamma are evaluated for the specific orientation of the OPAL detector and compared to the measurements. Distributions of the polar and azimuthal scattering angles are used to extract limits on the energy scale Lambda_NC depending on the model parameter eta. At the 95% confidence level Lambda_NC is found to be larger than 141 GeV for all eta and xi. It is shown that the time dependence of the total cross-section could be used to determine the model parameter xi if there were a detectable signal. These are the first limits obtained on non-commutative QED from an e+e- collider experiment.

For the periodic bottoms, the band structure is calculated, and the results are compared to the transmission results. When the bottoms are randomized, the Anderson localization phenomenon is observed. The theory has been applied to an existing experiment (Belzons, et al., J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 186}, 530 (1988)). In general, the results are compared favorably with the experimental observation.

description: We have performed a search for the decays $B^+\to J/ψp \barΛ$ and $B^0\to J/psi p \bar{p}$ in a data set of $(88.9 \pm 1.0)\times 10^6$ $Υ(4S)$ decays collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II $\e^+e^-$ storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Four charged $B$ candidates have been observed with an expected background of $0.21\pm 0.14$ events. The corresponding branching fraction is $12^{+9}_{-6}\times 10^{-6}$, where statistical and systematic uncertainties have been combined. The result can be interpreted as a 90% confidence level (CL) upper limit of $26 \times 10^{-6}$. We also find one $B^0$ candidate, with an expected background of $0.64\pm 0.17$ events, implying a 90% CL upper limit of $1.9 \times 10^{-6}$.

description: Khuri-Treiman equations have proven to be a useful theoretical tool in the analysis of 3-body decays, specially into the $3π$ final state. In this work we present in full detail the necessary generalization of the formalism to study the decays of particles with arbitrary spin, parity, and charge conjugation. To this extent, we find it most convenient to work with helicity amplitudes instead of the so-called invariant amplitudes, specially when dealing with the unitarity relations. The isobar expansions in the three possible ($s$-, $t$-, and $u$-) final channels are related with the appropriate crossing matrices. We pay special attention to the kinematical singularities and constraints of the helicity amplitudes, showing that these can be derived by means of the crossing matrix.
title: Biochemical Analysis of the Site Specific Recombinases of Yeasts and of Bacteriophage P1
Creators: name: Ringrose, Leonie Helen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: The site specific recombinases FLP from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Cre from bacteriophage P1 are finding increasing use in reverse genetics. This thesis presents an investigation and comparison of the biochemical properties of site specific recombinases, with a view to optimising their use in genomic manipulation strategies.

 Chapter 3 describes the characterisation of a novel site specific recombinase, the "Kw" recombinase, from the yeast Kluyveromyces waltii. The results show that Kw shares features with FLP and Cre recombinases which make it potentially useful as a tool for genomic manipulation.

 In Chapter 4, kinetic properties of FLP and Cre are compared, showing that Cre has a higher affinity for the LoxP site than FLP for the FRT. The kinetics of the full excision reaction are compared for FLP and Cre. A mathematical modelling approach is used in combination with measured DNA binding rates, to determine other parameters which best describe the recombination behaviour of each recombinase. This analysis suggests that the synaptic complex is more stable for Cre than for FLP.

 In Chapter 5, results show that FLP recombinase is thermolabile in an in vitro recombination assay, whereas Cre is thermostable, and that this difference also affects DNA binding. In addition, two FLP mutants with altered thermostabilities are described.

 In Chapter 6, the effect of distance between FRT sites on FLP mediated excision in vitro is examined, showing that FLP is unable to excise a substrate with 74 base pairs between its target sites, and that the optimum distance, giving the fastest initial rate of recombination, is between 400 and 700 base pairs. At a given protein to substrate ratio, recombination efficiency is greatly decreased at distances of 8kb and above.
Discrete symmetries, invisible axion and lepton number symmetry in an economic 3-3-1 model

description: We show that Peccei-Quinn and lepton number symmetries can be a natural outcome in a 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos after imposing a Z_11 x Z_2 symmetry. This symmetry is suitably accommodated in this model when we augmented its spectrum by including merely one singlet scalar field. We work out the breaking of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, yielding the axion, and study the phenomenological consequences. The main result of this work is that the solution to the strong CP problem can be implemented in a natural way, implying an invisible axion phenomenologically unconstrained, free of domain wall formation and constituting a good candidate for the cold dark matter.

Particles and vacuum for perturbative and non-perturbative Einstein-Rosen gravity

description: We discuss the connection between the Fock space introduced by Ashtekar and Pierri for Einstein-Rosen waves and its perturbative counterpart based on the concept of particle that arises in linearized gravity with a de Donder gauge. We show that the gauge adopted by Ashtekar and Pierri is a generalization of the de Donder gauge to full (i.e. non-linearized) cylindrical gravity. This fact allows us to relate the two descriptions of the Einstein-Rosen waves analyzed here by means of a simple field redefinition. Employing this redefinition, we find the highly non-linear relation that exists between the annihilation and creation-like variables of the two approaches. We next represent the particle-like variables of the perturbative approach as regularized operators, introducing a cut-off. These can be expanded in powers of the annihilation and creation operators of the Ashtekar and Pierri quantization, each additional power being multiplied by an extra square-root of the three-dimensional gravitational constant, $\sqrt{G}$. In principle, the perturbative vacuum may be reached as the limit of a state annihilated by these regularized operators when the cut-off is removed. This state can be written as the vacuum of the Ashtekar and Pierri quantization corrected by a perturbative series in $\sqrt{G}$ with no contributions from particles with energies above the cut-off. We show that the first-order correction is in fact a state of infinite norm. This result is interpreted as indicating that the Fock quantizations in the two approaches are unitarily inequivalent and, in any case, proves that the perturbative vacuum is not analytic in the interaction constant. Therefore a standard perturbative quantum analysis fails.

Competition Between Gravitational and Scalar Field Radiation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recent astrophysical observations have provided strong evidence that the present expansion of the universe is accelerating, powered by the energy density associated with a cosmological term. Assuming the latter to be not simply a constant term but a "quintessence" field, we study the radiation of quanta of such a "quintessence" field ("quintons") by binary systems of different types and compare intensities to those of standard tensor gravitational wave emission. We consider both the case in which the quintessence field varies only over cosmological distances and the case in which it is modified spatially by (strong) gravitational fields, a condition that results in bounds on the gradient of the scalar field. We show that, in both the first case and, because of a bound we derive from the Hulse-Taylor pulsar, in the second, there is not sufficient quinton radiation to affect expected LISA and LIGO gravity wave signals from binary systems. We show that, in the second case, the Large Hadron Collider is capable of setting a bound similar to that from the binary pulsar.

Dissipative Brackets for the Fokker-Planck Equation in Hamiltonian Systems and Characterization of Metriplectic Manifolds
Creators: name: Sato, Naoki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: It is shown that the Fokker-Planck equation describing diffusion processes in noncanonical Hamiltonian systems exhibits a metriplectic structure, i.e. an algebraic bracket formalism that generates the equation in consistency with the thermodynamic principles of energy conservation and entropy growth. First, a microscopic metriplectic bracket is derived for the stochastic equations of motion that characterize the random walk of the elements constituting the statistical ensemble. Such bracket is fully determined by the Poisson operator generating the Hamiltonian dynamics of an isolated (unperturbed) particle. Then, the macroscopic metriplectic bracket associated with the evolution of the distribution function of the ensemble is induced from the microscopic metriplectic bracket. Similarly, the macroscopic Casimir invariants are inherited from microscopic dynamics. The theory is applied to construct the Fokker-Planck equation of an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system, the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation. Finally, the canonical form of the symmetric (dissipative) part of the metriplectic bracket is identified in terms of a `canonical metric tensor' corresponding to an Euclidean metric tensor on the symplectic leaves foliated by the Casimir invariants.

description: Nitrate (NO₃-), and its daughter compound nitrite (NO₂-), are two of the most prevalent contaminants in drinking water. Catalytic degradation of NO₃- and NO₂- provides a treatment method with a small environmental footprint, though it is currently hindered by the need for a catalytic system that pairs reduced costs with enhanced activity and longevity. Monodisperse, randomly-alloyed palladium–silver nanoparticles (Pd [subscript X] Ag [subscript 100-X] NPs) with tunable compositions (X = 50–95) were studied for use as catalysts in aqueous NO₂- reduction. The synthesized Pd [subscript X] Ag [subscript 100-X] NPs were supported on amorphous silica (SiO₂) and studied for use as aqueous NO₂- reduction catalysts in batch reactors with H₂ gas as the electron donor. Nitrite reduction followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics for ≥80% conversion, and displayed a high selectivity (>98%) for nitrogen gas (N₂) as the end product. Nearly all compositions displayed increased activity over pure PdNPs supported on amorphous SiO₂. Catalyst longevity was assessed for the most active catalyst. Throughout recycling, the catalytic activity decreased, although complementary analysis indicated no major physical changes of the catalyst. Overall, this work demonstrates that incorporating inexpensive, semi-noble metals into bimetallic alloys is a potential avenue for increasing catalytic activity while decreasing catalyst cost for NO₂- reduction

In this article, for any closed oriented surface $Σ$ we provide an explicit spanning family for the skein modules $S(Σ\times S^1)$. Combined with earlier work of Gilmer and Masbaum, we answer their question about the dimension of $S(Σ\times S^1)$ being $2^{2g+1} + 2g -1$.

description: This thesis presents new wearable sensing platforms, prepared using an array of microstructures, for detecting health and disease biomarkers. Glucose is a biomarker routinely detected/monitored by diabetic patients when using a painful and invasive procedure. The developed platforms offer user-friendly devices that can continuously monitor glucose found in skin interstitial fluid, or sweat, in a safe and non-invasive way. A second type of wearable platform detects a breast cancer biomarker, also found in interstitial fluid, reliably in short time and can be implemented in cancer diagnostics due to its simplicity and affordability.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
