description: In this paper, an improved three-dimensional color-gradient lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is proposed for simulating immiscible multiphase flows. Compared with the previous three-dimensional color-gradient LB models, which suffer from the lack of Galilean invariance and considerable numerical errors in many cases owing to the error terms in the recovered macroscopic equations, the present model eliminates the error terms and therefore improves the numerical accuracy and enhances the Galilean invariance. To validate the proposed model, numerical simulation are performed. First, the test of a moving droplet in a uniform flow field is employed to verify the Galilean invariance of the improved model. Subsequently, numerical simulations are carried out for the layered two-phase flow and three-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability. It is shown that, using the improved model, the numerical accuracy can be significantly improved in comparison with the color-gradient LB model without the improvements. Finally, the capability of the improved color-gradient LB model for simulating dynamic multiphase flows at a relatively large density ratio is demonstrated via the simulation of droplet impact on a solid surface.

description: 6. Phaenochilus monostigma Weise 1895
 Phaenochilus monostigma Weise 1895: 241 (original description); Schultze 1916:38 (catalogue of Philippine Coleoptera).
 Type material: Holotype, sex unknown (? ECMP). Type locality: “ Agusan River, Mindanao.”
 Remarks: This is the only species of Phaenochilus with a single common dark sutural spot on the elytra (Fig. 7). The male genitalia are unknown.
Weise indicated that the type of this species was from the collection of W. Schultze and was deposited in the collection of the Bureau of Science, Manila. The USNM has a specimen that was acquired with the Korschefsky collection bearing the labels “Mindanao, P. I. / Phaenochilus monostigma Ws. Det W. Schultze ” that may belong to the same series as the type. The specimen is disarticulated and mounted on two points.
 Recuenco-Adorada (2008) contributed a paper on Philippine Chilocorini, but apparently misidentified or confused some of the species. The included redescription and habitus illustration of P. monostigma portray a specimen with an immaculate elytral disc and narrow black lateral border on the basal two thirds of each elytron. The male genitalia (lateral views of the sipho and phallobase) and anatomical details incorporated on the same plate suggest instead the species P. punctifrons, although we have not seen a comparable example with the dark elytral border. In the same publication, another plate labeled Eguis sp. shows a specimen which matches the USNM example of P. monostigma in such details as the dorsal color pattern and the shape of the maxillary palpomeres, antenna, pronotum, prosternum, abdominal postcoxal line, and tarsal claw.

description: Under certain simplifying conditions we detect monotonicity properties of the ground-state energy and the canonical-equilibrium density matrix of a spinless charged particle in the Euclidean plane subject to a perpendicular, possibly inhomogeneous magnetic field and an additional scalar potential. Firstly, we point out a simple condition warranting that the ground-state energy does not decrease when the magnetic field and/or the potential is increased pointwise. Secondly, we consider the case in which both the magnetic field and the potential are constant along one direction in the plane and give a genuine path-integral argument for corresponding monotonicities of the density-matrix diagonal and the absolute value of certain off-diagonals. Our results complement to some degree results of M. Loss and B. Thaller [Commun. Math. Phys. 186 (1997) 95] and L. Erdos [J. Math. Phys. 38 (1997) 1289].

title: The Commonwealth of Human Dignity and Disability

subject: dignity

description: Dignity, a multifaceted and contestable concept, is a critical concept in the realisation of human rights. It holds particular significance within healthcare, equity, and disability research and practice, where it supports the rights of vulnerable populations. Research has established the far-reaching benefits of dignity for people with and without disability, encompassing improved physical and mental health, end-user satisfaction, person-centred care, and optimisation of services and experiences. However, dignity presents a paradox for the more than 1 billion people globally living with disability. Namely, why do some people easily and universally experience dignity and human rights, while others are consistently faced with its deprivation and denial? The resulting inequity is deeply rooted in a complex societal context, characterised by structural inequalities, institutional discrimination, and an enduring legacy of oppression. Despite the acknowledged importance of dignity for people with disability, substantial gaps in understanding and practical implementation remain, particularly within mainstream systems like healthcare and public transport, where stigma and the medical model of disability are well entrenched and embedded. Existing dominant theoretical conceptualisations of dignity - inherent and contingent dignity - are problematic for people with disability, as they are based on criteria for who is included and receives dignity and who is excluded. These criteria are often rooted in ableist assumptions about what it means to be human or autonomous. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to understand dignity in the context of disability, using Critical Disability Theory (CDT). The outcome of the thesis is the development of a model that integrates the definitions and experiences of dignity for people with disability with practical recommendations and relevant literature. The model is designed for integration into research and the design and delivery of mainstream systems and services that support people with disability. [...]

description: Two approaches are used for description of linear transverse (kink) modes excited in a vertical thin magnetic flux tube. First one is based on the elastic thread model (Spruit, 1981). The second one follows from the the Taylor and Laurent series expansions of wave variables with respect to the tube radius inside and outside of the magnetic flux tube (Lopin and Nagorny, 2013). It has been shown that the main reason of the discrepancy of these approaches is related to the phenomenological equation of plasma motion used in the former case. This suggests that results obtained on the basis of this equation should be revised.

The radio/optical alignment and the recent star formation associated with ionized filaments in the halo of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)

description: We used the direct CCD camera at the Magellan I telescope at Las Campanas Observatory and FORS1 at Antu VLT at ESO Paranal Observatory to image fields centered on the inner and outer optical filaments in the halo of NGC 5128. In the V vs. U-V color-magnitude diagrams we have identified young blue supergiants associated with these line-emitting filaments located between the inner radio lobe and the northern middle lobe. Around the outer filament stars as young as 10 Myr were detected. They are principally aligned with the direction of the radio jet, but a vertical north-east alignment along the edge of the HI cloud is also present. Young stars in the inner filament field are found inside the bright knots of photoionized gas and are strongly aligned in the direction towards the center of the galaxy at the same position angle as the inner radio jet. Fitting the Padova isochrones on UV color-magnitude diagrams we find that the blue stars around the inner filaments have ages similar to the ones around the outer filaments ~10-15 Myr and the same abundance of Z=0.004. The presence of young blue supergiants clearly shows that the bright blue knots in the north-eastern halo of NGC 5128 are associations of young stars with photoionized gas. The temperature of the brightest stars is T \~ 12000-16000 K, insufficient to account alone for the high excitation lines observed in the surrounding ionized gas. Thus the optical emission jet is principally seen due to its alignment with the radio structure of the AGN. The highly collimated star formation is present only in the north eastern halo of the galaxy, suggesting the interaction of the jet with the gas clouds deposited during the last accretion event as the preferred triggering mechanism.

 Phaenochilus punctifrons Weise 1895: 136 (original description); Chapin 1965b: 267, in part (illustration of male genitalia).
 Type material: Syntype, female (MNHB) (digital images of dorsal habitus and SEMs of morphological details taken by P. Laczynski (MIZW) examined). Type locality: “Insula Banguey.”
 Remarks: Both P. metasternalis and P. kashaya have been confused with this species in the past (see the corresponding remarks sections, above). Phaenochilus punctifrons can be distinguished from both of these other species by the less expansive pronotum with the lateral part on each side of the head only weakly prolonged and tightly, evenly rounded apically (Figs 25, 28, 29), by the roughly semicircular shape of the elytral dorsum in a frontal view (Fig. 25), and by the nearly symmetrical basal lobe of the male genitalia (Fig. 11a).
 The male genitalia of P. punctifrons were illustrated by Chapin (1965b) based on an individual from Mindanao Island which he recorded as “Mindanao, Kolambugan, C.F.Baker #16609” in his little black notebook, and designated as “X-14” (see also remarks under P. metasternalis, above). This slide could not be located in Chapin’s slide cabinet (USNM), but a second specimen from Mindanao Island labeled “Surigao, Mindanao, Baker” was dissected and found to have matching male genitalia except for the shape of the sipho. When we transferred our new dissection between media of different viscosities, the sipho temporarily assumed an S-shape matching Chapin’s drawing, apparently due to a difference in the hydrostatic pressure on the outside and inside of the siphonal tube. When allowed to equilibrate, the structure resumes the simple curved shape seen in our figure (Fig. 11c). (See also “Remarks” section for P. monostigma, above.)

title: Punching and post-punching failure mechanisms of strengthened concrete flat plate slab-column joints
Creators: name: Jiao, Ziyang
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: progressive collapse
subject: flat plate structures
subject: punching and post-punching behaviors

description: A reinforced concrete flat plate structure is a type of structural system that consists solely of slabs and columns. Flat plate structures are popularly adopted worldwide due to their economic and architectural advantages. However, an inherent issue associated with this type of structures is that the slab-column joints (SCJs) are prone to brittle punching shear failure. In addition, the absence of beams in flat plate structures results in a lack of load redistribution path. Consequently, once a single SCJ fails, the initial failure has a high risk of propagating to the adjacent SCJs, which may eventually trigger a progressive collapse of the entire structure. Progressive collapse often causes severe loss of life and property. Since the progressive collapse incident of the Ronan Point Apartment Tower in 1968, scientific and engineering communities have been working devotedly to improve the progressive collapse resistance of building structures. A direct way to improve such resistance of flat slab structures is to enhance the punching shear and post-punching capacities of the SCJs, the latter is regarded as a second line of defence to progressive collapse. Strengthening methods, which are commonly applied in engineering practice, include strategies like enlarging the slab thickness at the SCJ, using various types of shear reinforcement and incorporating a post-tensioning system. To date, substantial researchefforts have been made to investigate the mechanical behaviours of the SCJs with these strengthening methods up until punching shear failure, which is within the small deformation stage. However, research on the mechanical behaviours of strengthened SCJs in the post-punching stage (i.e., the large defamation stage) remains scarce. To fill this knowledge gap, a comprehensive study consisting of experimental, numerical and analytical investigations on the strengthened flat plate SCJs are conducted in this PhD research. The strengthening methods include adding drop panels, shear studs and prestressing tendons in SCJs. [...]

description: Task 4.3 with WP4 develop common systems and procedures for European irradiation facilities. The current irradiation facilities at CERN and across EU play a strong role in the R&D for the next generation of particle physics detectors. To cope with the increasing user demand and to optimise the performance of the facilities a series of improvement were studied within the AIDAinnova project. Among them, to support a clear identification of the, often radioactive, samples throughout their life cycle, a new integrated RFID based system is being integrated and evaluated for both the IRRAD facility at CERN and the ITA (Irradiation Test Area) at FNAL. The CAEN DIGIWASTE platform for radioactive waste management is at the basis of this work. The purpose of this MS report is to summarize and describe the irradiation tests performed on different types of RFID tags in order to contribute to the selection of the one operating reliably in the facility environment and compatible with the new CAEN platform and tools being integrated.

title: Exploitation of the twin-arginine translocation pathway and promoter control for biopharmaceutical production in E. coli strains
Creators: name: Bischoff, Sarah Lena
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The industrial production of proteins in bacteria has found its limits due to the size and requirements of post-translational folding of many proteins. However, bacteria are still a preferred expression host and various tools are applied to broaden the expression spectrum of these microorganisms. We investigated methods to decrease costs and improve protein expression in Escherichia coli and applied tools such as genetic engineering, change of promotor and signal peptides, and aiding disulphide bond formation. Here we examined the ability of Escherichia coli strain MC4100 encoding the TatABC protein secretion pathway of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to export complex proteins into the periplasm. We have shown that the mutant strain can export native Tat proteins but rejects non-native proteins of biopharmaceutical interest which are exported over Tat in Escherichia coli wildtype. Furthermore, we examined a sodium nitrate inducible promoter on its expression strength and periplasmic export, and we conducted research into the expression and export to the periplasm of the novel biodegrading enzyme PETase. Additionally, we show that the narG-CC promoter is capable of high-level protein expression of GFP but does not facilitate periplasmic expression of hGH and an scFv. Furthermore, we show that PETase can be exported into the periplasm by the Sec pathway but not the Tat pathway. The combined research shows that Escherichia coli is still a key player in the production of recombinant proteins and that proteins that require cytoplasmic post-translational folding can be exported under the correct circumstances, although finding the best tools to improve the expression can be a challenge.

description: Structures of quantum Fokker-Planck equations are characterized with respect to the properties of complete positivity, covariance under symmetry transformations and satisfaction of equipartition, referring to recent mathematical work on structures of unbounded generators of covariant quantum dynamical semigroups. In particular the quantum optical master-equation and the quantum Brownian motion master-equation are shown to be associated to $\mathrm{U(1)}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ symmetry respectively. Considering the motion of a Brownian particle, where the expression of the quantum Fokker-Planck equation is not completely fixed by the aforementioned requirements, a recently introduced microphysical kinetic model is briefly recalled, where a quantum generalization of the linear Boltzmann equation in the small energy and momentum transfer limit straightforwardly leads to quantum Brownian motion.

description: Introduction: Transgender (TG) individuals grapple with aligning their self-identified gender with their assigned biological sex amidst societal pressures. While its prevalence is traditionally low, Gender Dysphoria (GD) incidence is rising which has caused a rise in the demand for medically essential gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). However, concerns persist regarding the mental health of the TG community, with their increased vulnerability to mental health issues and antidepressant use. Additionally, the exact systemic effects of long term GAHT remain unclear. We assessed the influence of feminizing GAHT (FGAHT) and antidepressants on behavior, cardiometabolic risk factors, and post-ischaemic cardiac outcomes. Methods: Sixty 7-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to four groups: no treatment (CON, n=15), fluoxetine treatment only ((FLU; 20mg/day), n=15), estrogen (E2; 1mg/kg/week) with cyproterone acetate (CPA; 26mg/kg/week) treatment (EC, n=15), and combined (E+CPA+FLU) therapies (ECF, n=15). Daily oral gavage (for FLU delivery) and weekly subcutaneous injections (E & CPA delivery) commenced at experimental week 12. Behavioral assessments using open field and elevated plus maze tests were conducted at experimental weeks 2 and 15. Echocardiography was performed at weeks 3 and 16 to examine in vivo structural and functional cardiac changes. Fasted blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations were measured at weeks 4 and 17. DXA scans were performed at weeks 5 and 18 to assess changes in lean muscle mass. Langendorf heart perfusions were performed at week 19 to assess pre- and post-ischaemic cardiac function. [...]

Probing the Core Structure of Dark Halos with Tangential and Radial Arc Statistics

description: We study the arc statistics of gravitational lensing generated by dark matter halos in order to probe their density profile. We characterize the halo profile by two parameters, the inner slope of the central cusp $α$, and the median amplitude of the concentration parameter, $c_{\rm norm}$, for a halo of mass $10^{14}h^{-1}M_\odot$ at $z=0$, and compute the numbers of tangential and radial arcs produced by gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters. We find that the number of arcs divided by the number of halos is a good statistic which is sensitive to both $c_{\rm norm}$ and $α$ with very weak dependence on the cosmological parameters. If the arc samples with well-defined selection criteria for the clusters become available, one can strongly constrain both $c_{\rm norm}$ and $α$. While our tentative comparison with the existing observational data indicates that the inner density profile of dark halos is indeed as steep as predicted by recent simulations ($α\sim 1.5$), the homogeneous samples of tangential and radial arcs are required for more quantitative discussions.

description: We report a new limitation on the ability of physical systems to perform computation -- one that is based on generalizing the notion of memory, or storage space, available to the system to perform the computation. Roughly, we define memory as the maximal amount of information that the evolving system can carry from one instant to the next. We show that memory is a limiting factor in computation even in lieu of any time limitations on the evolving system - such as when considering its equilibrium regime. We call this limitation the Space-Bounded Church Turing Thesis (SBCT). The SBCT is supported by a Simulation Assertion (SA), which states that predicting the long-term behavior of bounded-memory systems is computationally tractable. In particular, one corollary of SA is an explicit bound on the computational hardness of the long-term behavior of a discrete-time finite-dimensional dynamical system that is affected by noise. We prove such a bound explicitly.

Dynamics of gravitational clustering V. Subleading corrections in the quasi-linear regime

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We investigate the properties of the standard perturbative expansions which describe the early stages of the dynamics of gravitational clustering. We show that for hierarchical scenarios with no small-scale cutoff perturbation theory always breaks down beyond a finite order $q_+$. Besides, the degree of divergence increases with the order of the perturbative terms so that renormalization procedures cannot be applied. Nevertheless, we explain that despite the divergence of these subleading terms the results of perturbation theory are correct at leading order because they can be recovered through a steepest-descent method which does not use such perturbative expansions. Finally, we investigate the simpler cases of the Zel'dovich and Burgers dynamics. In particular, we show that the standard Burgers equation exhibits similar properties. This analogy suggests that the results of the standard perturbative expansions are valid up to the order $q_+$ (i.e. until they are finite). Moreover, the first ``non-regular'' term of a large-scale expansion of the two-point correlation function should be of the form $R^{-2} σ^2(R)$. At higher orders the large-scale expansion should no longer be over powers of $σ^2$ but over a different combination of powers of 1/R. However, its calculation requires new non-perturbative methods.

description: We introduce a quantum volume operator $K$ in three--dimensional Quantum Gravity by taking into account a symmetrical coupling scheme of three SU(2) angular momenta. The spectrum of $K$ is discrete and defines a complete set of eigenvectors which is alternative with respect to the complete sets employed when the usual binary coupling schemes of angular momenta are considered. Each of these states, that we call quantum bubbles, represents an interference of extended configurations which provides a rigorous meaning to the heuristic notion of quantum tetrahedron. We study the generalized recoupling coefficients connecting the symmetrical and the binary basis vectors, and provide an explicit recursive solution for such coefficients by analyzing also its asymptotic limit.

description: We define ket abelian schemes, ket 1-motives, and ket log 1-motives, and formulate duality theory for these objects. Then we show that tamely ramified strict 1-motives over a complete discrete valuation field can be extended to ket log 1-motives over the corresponding discrete valuation ring. As an application, we present a proof to a result of Kato stated in one of his preprint without proof.

Theoretical analysis of the focusing of acoustic waves by two-dimensional sonic crystals

description: Motivated by a recent experiment on acoustic lenses, we perform numerical calculations based on a multiple scattering technique to investigate the focusing of acoustic waves with sonic crystals formed by rigid cylinders in air. The focusing effects for crystals of various shapes are examined. The dependance of the focusing length on the filling factor is also studied. It is observed that both the shape and filling factor play a crucial role in controlling the focusing. Furthermore, the robustness of the focusing against disorders is studied. The results show that the sensitivity of the focusing behavior depends on the strength of positional disorders. The theoretical results compare favorably with the experimental observations, reported by Cervera, et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 023902 (2002)).

description: We present a study of gas-phase H2O and CO2 toward a sample of 14 massive protostars with the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). Modeling of the H2O spectra using a homogeneous model with a constant excitation temperature T_ex shows that the H2O abundances increase with temperature, up to a few times 10^-5 with respect to H2 for the hottest sources (T_ex ~500 K). This is still a factor of 10 lower than the H2O ice abundances observed toward cold sources in which evaporation is not significant (Keane et al. 2001). Gas-phase CO2 is not abundant in our sources. The abundances are nearly constant for T_ex>~100 K at a value of a few times 10^-7, much lower than the solid-state abundances of ~1--3 times 10^-6 (Gerakines et al. 1999). For both H2O and CO2 the gas/solid ratio increases with temperature, but the increase is much stronger for H2O than for CO2, suggesting a different type of chemistry. In addition to the homogeneous models, a power law model has been developed for one of our sources, based on the physical structure of this region as determined from submillimeter data by van der Tak et al. (1999). The resulting H2O model spectrum gives a good fit to the data.
