description: A useful kind of continuity of quantum states functions in asymptotic regime is so-called asymptotic continuity. In this paper we provide general tools for checking if a function possesses this property. First we prove equivalence of asymptotic continuity with so-called it robustness under admixture. This allows us to show that relative entropy distance from a convex set including maximally mixed state is asymptotically continuous. Subsequently, we consider it arrowing - a way of building a new function out of a given one. The procedure originates from constructions of intrinsic information and entanglement of formation. We show that arrowing preserves asymptotic continuity for a class of functions (so-called subextensive ones). The result is illustrated by means of several examples.

A critical incident study of individual clients’ outplacement counselling experiences
Creators: name: Butterfield, Lee D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Outplacement consulting (OPC) is a multi-million dollar business about which little is known with respect to its effectiveness and whether it is meeting the needs of either its corporate or individual clients. This study attempted to shed light on whether the services currently being offered by OPC firms are meeting the needs of individual clients by using Flanagan's (1954) critical incident analysis methodology. Fifteen individuals who had received OPC services within the last five years were asked open-ended questions during in-person interviews to find out what services were helpful and not helpful, and whether there were services they would like to have received but did not (wish list items). The interviews produced 712 critical incidents and wish list items that were then placed into 16 categories: (1) OPC representative activities/actions; (2) job search skills training; (3) assessments; (4) OPC program elements and design; (5) reference materials; (6) OPC representative traits and characteristics; (7) access to offices, supplies and equipment; (8) secretarial/administrative services; (9) relationship with OPC representative; (10) OPC office environment and location; (11) tailored/flexible services; (12) more structured/hands-on services; (13) counselling skills/services; (14) group work; (15) closure/follow-up at the end of OPC; and (16) technical skills assessment and upgrading. A variety of methods were utilized to validate the categories, including participants' crosschecking, independent rater, exhaustiveness, expert opinions, participation rate, and theoretical agreement. Two major results of this study are its support of Wooten's (1996) research and the apparent gap that emerged between current OPC services that are being delivered and the services individual clients would find helpful. This latter result was evidenced by the six new categories that emerged from the wish list items: (a) a desire for more tailored, flexible services; (b) a greater focus on providing counselling services; (c) a need for more structured, hands-on services; (d) more group work; (e) some formal closure or follow-up at the end of the OPC program; and (f) technical skills assessment and upgrading. Implications for OPC clients (both corporate and individual), practitioners, and future research are discussed against the backdrop of OPC's historical and operating contexts.

description: Although both vacancies and interstitial have relatively high activation energies in the normal solid, we propose that a lower energy bound state of a vacancy and an interstitial may facilitate vacancy condensation to give supersolidity in $^{4}$He . We use a phenomenological two-band boson lattice model to demonstrate this new mechanism and discuss the possible relevance to the recently observed superfluid-like, non-classical rotational inertial experiments of Kim and Chan in solid $^{4}$He. Some of our results may also be applicable to trapped bosons in optical lattices.

description: I will review the latest developments in understanding the high-energy emission of rotation-powered pulsars and magnetically-powered Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs). These fields have been extremely active in the last few years, both observationally and theoretically, driven partly by new X-ray data from Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE. At the same time, the Parkes Multibeam Survey has discovered over 700 new radio pulsars, some of them young and coincident with EGRET sources, and others having magnetar-strength magnetic fields. These new observations are raising important questions about neutron star birth and evolution, as well as the properties of their high-energy emission.

Dissecting the contribution of non-coding regulatory mutations to hormone-dependent breast cancer evolution
Creators: name: Canale, Eleonora
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The evolutionary trajectory of hormone-dependent breast cancer (HDBC) is shaped by endocrine therapy and interlaced with resistance-arising due to selective pressure acting at the cellular level. In vitro evidence showed that HDBC progresses through a multi-faceted route. It is initially characterized by exponential cellular growth, an in-between resting period in response to therapy called “dormancy’’, and a relapse, where cells resume proliferation after acquiring resistance (“awakening”). While extensive large-scale genomics studies have revealed an insufficient array of putative coding drivers explaining the progression of the malignancy, investigation on the non-coding regulatory genome (CREs) mutations’ role in its multi-step evolution is still in its infancy. Of all the CREs, insulators are a frequent mutational hotspot in cancer. For their role in fostering enhancer-promoter contacts and maintaining physical boundaries between adjacent genomic regions when bound by CTCF, these elements were the first to being investigated in my work. Starting from a mutation that emerged from a luminal A breast cancer patient, I subsequently knocked out a cluster of insulators at the affected TAD (Topologically Associated Domain) to uncover global transcriptional rewiring and understanding clustered CTCF dynamics. This small-scale pilot functional study was followed by the validation of findings that emerged from a large-scale pooled CRISPR perturbation screen. The study, called SID (Systematic Identification of Epigenetically Defined Cis Regulatory Elements), systematically perturbed with a dcas9KRAB interference system a window of 12 Mbp regulatory elements comprising HDBC relevant enhancer, promoters, and CTCF. This unveiled time and context regulatory dependencies in the guise of significantly enriched or depleted sgRNA that involved CREs mapping at MYD88, TLR5, UNC93B1, and USP8 genes. As a conclusive work, I characterized the topology of awakenings through live imaging and started to hypothesize the role of cell-to-cell communication in HDBC evolution by exploring the role of PARD3. In brief, my work added some pieces of understanding to untangle the role of CREs in hormone-dependent breast cancer evolution. By exploring their significance from different angles and experimental procedures, I could also unveil the importance of understanding and modelling all the stages of the disease, uncovering the complexity underlying it.

Ceramic Petrography

description: Potters’ traditions within the Congo Basin Rainforest are still vibrant today and the result of a supposedly more than two millennia-long transfer of knowledge. While for the past decades' pottery finds were used to establish sequences of stylistically interrelated pottery groups and to derive regional chrono-historical frameworks, the way these communities of practice transmitted their approaches and expertise throughout generations is still unknown. The first study focusing on petrographic characterizations of ceramics from the north-western parts of the Congo Basin showed distinct phases of similar clay procurement and processing. Of special interest is the site of Pikunda (PIK). In the late 1980s, multiple archaeological features were excavated and ethnographic observations on potters’ production showed a particular chaîne opératoire, comprised of coiling, internal scraping, and external beating. Clay procurement and preparation were not recorded though.

An exploratory study of stalking behaviors and intimate abuse perpetration in young adult women
Creators: name: Clift, Robert J. W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Women's perpetration of intimate abuse and stalking behaviors have remained relatively unexplored despite the fact that there is a mounting body of evidence suggesting that they are not rare occurrences (e.g., White & Koss, 1991; Fremouw, Westrup & Pennypacker 1997). The objectives of the current study, therefore, were to explore variables that may be related to stalking and abuse perpetration in women and to perform a test-retest of the Propensity for Abusiveness Scale (PAS; Dutton, 1995b) and of Oldham and associates' (1985) Borderline Personality Organization (BPO) scale. These objectives were accomplished by having 65 women, who were in intimate relationships, complete both the PAS and BPO scale during the 1998-1999 school year (Time One). Two years later (Time Two), those same women were asked back to the lab. At that time they completed the PAS and BPO scale again. Those women who were still in the same relationship at Time Two as they were at Time One also completed the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-C; Alden, Wiggins & Pincus, 1990) and measures of psychological and physical abuse perpetration. Women who were no longer in their Time One relationship completed the IIP-C and two measures of stalking behaviors. Results from the current study would suggest that the prototypical physically and psychologically abusive woman is one who has borderline personality features, is affectively labile and was abused as a child. Additionally, abusive women score highly on the Vindictive and Domineering scales of the IIP-C. They may also suffer from trauma symptoms, but this relationship is less clear. A different stalking profile is produced whether one looks at correlational data, or at variables that added predictive value to a regression equation. The stalking profile produced with correlational data suggests that female stalkers have had negative childhood experiences and they display trauma symptoms. Additionally, female stalking perpetrators endorse vindictive and domineering traits as measured by the IIP-C. They also appear to be affectively labile, and display BPO. Based on multiple regression, female stalkers again presented with vindictive and domineering traits. Recalled Negative Parental Treatment also remained an important variable. The one new variable that was identified as important by multiple regression was the Intrusive scale of the IIP-C. This finding is not entirely surprising, however, as high Intrusive scorers are described as people who are attention seeking and find it difficult to spend time alone (Alden et al., 1990). Both the PAS and the Oldham and associates' BPO scale proved highly reliable over a two-year period. The same was true for each of the subscales, with the exception of the Identity Diffusion subscale on the BPO scale, which only had a marginally significant test-retest correlation over a two-year period.

description: We implanted ultra low doses (2x10^11 cm-2) of 121Sb ions into isotopically enriched 28Si and find high degrees of electrical activation and low levels of dopant diffusion after rapid thermal annealing. Pulsed Electron Spin Resonance shows that spin echo decay is sensitive to the dopant depths, and the interface quality. At 5.2 K, a spin decoherence time, T2, of 0.3 ms is found for profiles peaking 50 nm below a Si/SiO2 interface, increasing to 0.75 ms when the surface is passivated with hydrogen. These measurements provide benchmark data for the development of devices in which quantum information is encoded in donor electron spins.

description: Under the TRIPs Agreement , all member-countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are required to provide an "effective" system of plant variety protection (PVP) within a specific time frame. In many developing countries this has led to a divisive debate about the fundamental desirability of extending intellectual property rights (IPRs) to agriculture. But empirical studies on the economic impacts of PVP, especially its ability to generate large private sector investments in plant breeding and facilitate the transfer of technology, have been very limited. This paper examines two aspects of the international experience of PVP legislation thus far (i) The relationship between R&D expenditures and PVP grants and (ii) The role of PVP in facilitating the flow of varieties across countries. This analysis can generate useful insights for policy makers in developing countries currently contemplating PVP legislation.
Exploration of mechanisms of lung injury by TNF receptor signalling
Creators: name: Baldi, Rhianna Francesca
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a debilitating illness in critical care, with a high mortality rate of around 40%. ARDS is characterised by acute inflammation, hypoxemia and permeability oedema, and treatment is mainly supportive, with the majority of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation to maintain gas exchange. However, this can exacerbate injury through ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and there remains a significant lack of pharmacological interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine which has been implicated in various mechanisms of ARDS pathophysiology. Clinical trials targeting the cytokine itself have been largely unsuccessful, but research has since indicated that specific blockade of TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) may be protective during lung injury. TNFR1 inhibition has demonstrated benefits in various studies, however the mechanism of protection is unclear and there have been inconsistencies observed across different preclinical models. This thesis therefore aims to explore mechanisms of lung injury by TNF receptor signalling. We identified a direct impact of TNF on the alveolar epithelium, demonstrating that injurious ventilation induces epithelial dysfunction via TNFR1-dependent apoptotic signalling. However, in a murine model of LPS-induced inflammation, TNF did not exert the same effects. We propose a novel hypothesis whereby microvesicles (MVs) carrying components of the TNFR1-death signalling pathway, such as Fas-associated death domain (FADD), may modulate downstream TNFR1 signalling to enhance apoptosis during VILI. We found that 1hr of injurious ventilation, but not LPS treatment, increases the FADD content in MVs recovered from murine lungs, and demonstrate that treatment of epithelial cells in vitro with TNF and macrophage derived FADD-containing MVs induces cell death. These findings increase our understanding of the role of TNFR1 signalling in ARDS and VILI and may aid the development of pharmacological interventions to reduce alveolar barrier damage in critical care.
Multilateral reputation mechanisms and contract law in agriculture : complement or substitutes

Subjects: Agricultural Finance

description: The enforcement of contracts is necessary for efficient exchange in economic activities. The predominance in agriculture of informal contracts leads in many countries to the implementation of specific legal rules for contract law. This article emphasises the complementarities between public and private ordering when contracts are informal. We analyse the role of private contract-enforcement institution (CEI) as a support for multilateral reputation mechanisms. Our case study is focusing on interprofessional organisations, which are usually analysed as cartels having a negative impact on welfare. We demonstrate that under specific conditions, they can improve contract enforcement and thus efficiency.

description: A consumer life-cycle demand system is built to investigate the presence of rational habits and the effects of food safety information on U.S. meat consumption. Information extracted from the popular press coverage of food safety events is used to approximate consumers' "true" perception of food safety. At quarterly frequencies, U.S. meat demand is found to be intertemporally nonseparable. During the post-1998 period, habit persistence is found to dominate inventory adjustment in beef demand. In general, food safety information is found to adversely affect meat demand. The ongoing research focuses on numerical simulations of consumer responses to alternative food safety event scenarios to evaluate the economic significance of food safety information and habit formation in U.S. meat demand.

description: This paper explores how educational commons, in which education and learning are shaped by the members of the educational community in terms of equality, freedom, and creative participation, contribute to addressing inequalities, empowering democracy, and enhancing inclusion.The discussion focuses on the crucial debate around public formal education and the potential for radical democratisation it offers through three case studies carried out in formal and non-formal educational settings in Thessaloniki, Greece. The research was conducted in three different types of education centres: a public kindergarten, a self-organised autonomous libertarian educational community, and an after-school programme of a primary school where Workshops for Nurturing and Developing Environmental Resilience (WONDER) were implemented by the environmental organisation Mamagea. Through patterns of commoning practices, like peer governance, co-creation of knowledge, and peer learning, the case studies aimed to establish the prerequisites for the cocreation of a community that offers pupils and students, teachers, and educators the chance for self-formation and equal participation. The article makes the case that educational hierarchies and governance models can be reconfigured in order to incorporate the democratic values of solidarity, equality, self-organisation, and self-formation even in structures that are still tailored to formal  schooling. The article argues that educational commons can make a decisive contribution to tackling inequalities, and the commons logic can grow effectively in school education under specific conditions.The pedagogical practice is shifted in educational commons in ways that balance out contemporary enclosures based on several inequalities.

description: We study the spatial distribution of satellite galaxies by assuming that they follow the dark matter distribution. This assumption is supported by semi-analytical studies based on high-resolution numerical simulations. We find that for a Milky-Way type halo, if only a dozen satellite galaxies are observed, then they can lie on a ``great'' disk with an rms height of about 40 kpc. The normal to the plane is roughly isotropic on the sky. These results are consistent with the observed properties of the satellite galaxies in the Milky Way. If, however, the satellite galaxies follow the distribution of substructure selected by present mass, then great disks similar to the one in the Milky Way are rare and difficult to reproduce, in agreement with the conclusion reached by Kroupa et al. (2004).

description: Distinctive effects of dopant valency is discussed using an impurity level 1% doping each of Cr$^{3+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ in CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$. Through a comparative study of the magnetic and dielectric properties of multiferroic CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$O$_7$ and CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$O$_7$, we highlight that Cr doping does not significantly alter the properties in spite of differences in magnetic spin and ionic radius compared to Co$^{3+}$ and Co$^{2+}$ while Ni doping induces spectacular changes. Particularly, a manifold increase of electric polarization change up to 650 ${\rm μ}$C/m$^2$ at 5.6 kV/cm is observed in CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$O$_7$ compared to CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$O$_7$ and a stronger magnetoelectric coupling leading to a polarization change of $\sim$ 12% in 15 T magnetic field and below 40 K. Further, magnetodielectric effects hint to competing magnetic phases over the temperature range of magnetic transitions. We discuss the observed disparity in the light of a possible site selective doping of Cr$^{3+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ in the triangular and kagomé layers, respectively, of the parent compound.

description: The overall impetus for this research comes from the concern with global warming and climate change. Although the U.S. did not sign the Kyoto Protocol, a study conducted by London's Carbon Disclosure Project has shown that many U.S. firms are preparing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also, agriculture can help to dampen the pace of warming through sequestering carbon in agricultural plants and land. The purpose of the article is to discover what motivates the implementation of conservation tillage which allows greater carbon sequestration. The survey data (1185 self-report questionnaires, 28 percent response rate) were collected from farmers in a midwestern U.S. state in three types of agro-ecozones. Econometric analysis provided support for the dual-interest approach (metaeconomic) in explaining carbon sequestration. Results showed that farmers, who condition their pursuit of self-interest with shared concerns, are using carbon sequestration technologies more widely. However, the more a farmer prefers to have control over the farming process and financial risks, the less likely he adopts conservation tillage. The proposed recommendations for the environmental and conservation policy makers include: to increase awareness of farmers on the positive facts of sequestration (including both long run private benefits and the "greater good" for humanity); encourage commitment by acknowledging its role; install social sanctions in the background to keep the commitment operant; and provide ways for farmers to donate or sell their carbon offsets at a reduced price to the environmental agencies. This would allow decreasing direct financial costs of governmental programs, increasing the pace of carbon retirement, and ultimately facilitating the formation of an effective carbon emissions trading scheme.

description: Additional file 5: Supplementary Figure 3. Roc Curve for discrimination of SSc vs SSc-ILD in models containing a combination of only two biomarkers in comparison with the model combining the three biomarkers H3.1 containing cf-nucleosome associated, IGFBP-1 and MMP-9. The model combining the three biomarkers H3.1 containing cf-nucleosome associated, IGFBP-1 and MMP-9 reached a sensitivity of 42% at 90% Specificity (AUC 0.77; p Model < 0.001 ; p Nu.Q H3.1 = 0.022 ; p MMP-9 = 0.047 ; p IGFBP-1 = 0.01 ; R2 = 28%). The model combining the two biomarkers: cf-nucleosome H3.1 and IGFBP-1 reached an AUC of 0.75 and a sensitivity at 90% specificity of 48% (p Model < 0.001 ; p Nu.Q H3.1 = 0.010 ; p IGFBP-1 = 0.013 ; R2 = 23%). The model combining the two biomarkers H3.1 and MMP-9 reached an AUC of 0.69 and a sensitivity at 90% specificity of 32% (p Model = 0.005 ; p Nu.Q H3.1 = 0.014 ; p MMP-9 = 0.115 ; R2 = 14% ). We noted a loss of power with these two models compared to the model combining the three biomarkers. In addition, in the model combining H3.1 and MMP-9, the biomarker MMP-9 isn’t significant (p=0.115) inside the model.

description: We summarize the arguments that space and time are likely to be emergent notions; i.e. they are not present in the fundamental formulation of the theory, but appear as approximate macroscopic concepts. Along the way we briefly review certain topics. These include ambiguities in the geometry and the topology of space which arise from dualities, questions associated with locality, various known examples of emergent space, and the puzzles and the prospects of emergent time.

description: Motivated by the structure of one-loop vacuum polarization effects in curved spacetime we discuss a non-minimal extension of the Einstein-Maxwell equations. This formalism is applied to Bianchi I models with magnetic field. We obtain several exact solutions of the non-minimal system including those which describe an isotropization process. We show that there are inflationary solutions in which the cosmological constant is determined by the non-minimal coupling parameters. Furthermore, we find an isotropic de Sitter solution characterized by a "screening" of the magnetic field as a consequence of the non-minimal coupling.

Mid-infrared photoconductivity spectra of single tellurium nanowires]{Mid-infrared photoconductivity spectra of single tellurium nanowires
Creators: name: Li, Pengke
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Due to its low bandgap and high optical efficiency, tellurium is considered an important material candidate for mid-infrared applications. Taking advantage of its structural anisotropy, we fabricated tellurium nanowire devices and investigated the radiative interaction of charge carriers by the polarization-resolved photoconductivity spectra under mid-infrared illumination. The intensity of the photoresponse shows sensitive dependence on temperature and could be significantly boosted by positive voltage bias from the back gate.

description: This paper examines the impact of dolphin-safe eco-labeling and how it fundamentally altered the spatial distribution of fishing effort and fishermen's willingness to pay to avoid dolphins. To do this, a dynamic discrete choice econometric model is applied to the Eastern Tropical Pacific tuna fishery. This econometric approach combines a dynamic programming component with the static discrete site choice model. This estimator couples the current period projected profits associated with fishing a specific site with the value of all future location choices on the cruise, assuming choices are made optimally. The key feature of this model is that it recovers behavioral parameters and solves the dynamic programming problem recursively. The dynamic site choice model reveals a markedly higher impact on producers as compared to the commonly used static model following the labeling regime. Further, in all but a few cases the common practice in dynamic choice models of setting discount factors equal to one is rejected.
Contrasting the anomalous and the SM-MSSM couplings at the Colliders
Creators: name: Gounaris, G. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This talk consists of two parts. In the first, the present experimental bounds on the anomalous couplings of the gauge bosons, based mainly on the LEP and Tevatron experiments, are reviewed. In the second part, the theorem of helicity conservation (HC) is presented, which should be valid in either the Standard Model (SM) or MSSM, for any two-body process at high energies and fixed angles. The energy-range for the HC validity is discussed and, under certain conditions, it should well be within the LHC or ILC range. Since all known anomalous couplings violate HC, its testing may provide a way for generically identifying the possible presence of anomalous (non-renormalizable) contributions.

description: The majority of farm families have not named a successor nor developed an up-to-date farm business transition and estate plan. This program effort was designed to enable these farm families gain a better understanding of the process required and thus develop and implement a farm transition and estate plan. In terms of improving understanding, the workshops were highly successful. Most of the participants indicated their understanding of the main educational points of the workshop improved due to attending the workshop. Almost all indicated they better understood the need for clear goals and communication. Over 90% said they better understood the strategies available for use in a transfer plan; the importance of assessing the financial strength of the farm; and wills, trusts, and estate planning strategies. Ninety percent said they have improved their understanding of life insurance, power-of-attorney, and health care issues as part of the process. Eighty-seven percent of the participants said they had improved their understanding of tax issues related to the farm transfer process. While 58% of participants did not have an up-to-date estate plan and 89% did not have an up-to-date farm business transfer plan, 81% stated that, as a result of attending the workshop, they would begin the farm transfer process by developing a transfer and estate plan this year.

description: Several methods have been proposed in the spatial statistics literature for the analysis of big data sets in continuous domains. However, new methods for analyzing high-dimensional areal data are still scarce. Here, we propose a scalable Bayesian modeling approach for smoothing mortality (or incidence) risks in high-dimensional data, that is, when the number of small areas is very large. The method is implemented in the R add-on package bigDM. Model fitting and inference is based on the idea of "divide and conquer" and use integrated nested Laplace approximations and numerical integration. We analyze the proposal's empirical performance in a comprehensive simulation study that consider two model-free settings. Finally, the methodology is applied to analyze male colorectal cancer mortality in Spanish municipalities showing its benefits with regard to the standard approach in terms of goodness of fit and computational time.
