The targum (1933:Dec. 9 - 1933:Dec. 16)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1933

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: An integer additive set-indexer is defined as an injective function $f:V(G)\rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ such that the induced function $f^+:E(G) \rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ defined by $f^+ (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective. A graph $G$ which admits an IASI is called an IASI graph. An arithmetic integer additive set-indexer is an integer additive set-indexer $f$, under which the set-labels of all elements of a given graph $G$ are arithmetic progressions. In this paper, we discuss about admissibility of arithmetic integer additive set-indexers by certain associated graphs of the given graph $G$, like line graph, total graph, etc.

Characterization of 3D filament dynamics in a MAST SOL fluxtube geometry

description: Non-linear simulations of filament propagation in a realistic MAST SOL flux tube geometry using the BOUT++ fluid modelling framework show an isolation of the dynamics of the filament in the divertor region from the midplane region due to three features of the magnetic geometry; the variation of magnetic curvature along the field line, the expansion of the flux tube and strong magnetic shear. Of the three effects, the latter two lead to a midplane ballooning feature of the filament, whilst the former leads to a ballooning around the X-points. In simulations containing all three effects the filament is observed to balloon at the midplane, suggesting that the role of curvature variation is sub-dominant to the flux expansion and magnetic shear. The magnitudes of these effects are all strongest near the X-point which leads to the formation of parallel density gradients. The filaments simulated, which represent filaments in MAST, are identified as resistive ballooning, meaning that their motion is inertially limited, not sheath limited. Parallel density gradients can drive the filament towards a Boltzmann response when the collisionalityof the plasma is low. The results here show that the formation of parallel density gradients is a natural and inevitable consequence of a realistic magnetic geometry and therefore the transition to the Boltzmann response is a consequence of the use of realistic magnetic geometry. The Boltzmann response causes the filament to self-organise and spin on an axis. The transition from interchange motion to the Boltzmann response occurs with increasing temperature through a decrease in collisionality. This is confirmed by measuring the correlation between density and potential perturbations within the filament, which is low in the anti-symmetric state associated with the interchange mechanism, but high in the Boltzmann regime.

description: Metric spaces of generalized roundness zero have interesting non-embedding properties. For instance, we note that no metric space of generalized roundness zero is isometric to any metric subspace of any $L_{p}$-space for which $0 < p \leq 2$. Lennard, Tonge and Weston gave an indirect proof that $\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized roundness zero by appealing to highly non-trivial isometric embedding theorems of Bretagnolle Dacunha-Castelle and Krivine, and Misiewicz. In this paper we give a direct proof that $\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized roundness zero. This provides insight into the combinatorial geometry of $\ell_{\infty}^{(3)}$ that causes the generalized roundness inequalities to fail. We complete the paper by noting a characterization of real quasi-normed spaces of generalized roundness zero.

description: The var genes of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum present a challenge to population geneticists due to their extreme diversity, which is generated by high rates of recombination. These genes encode a primary antigen protein called PfEMP1, which is expressed on the surface of infected red blood cells and elicits protective immune responses. Var gene sequences are characterized by pronounced mosaicism, precluding the use of traditional phylogenetic tools that require bifurcating tree-like evolutionary relationships. We present a new method that identifies highly variable regions (HVRs), and then maps each HVR to a complex network in which each sequence is a node and two nodes are linked if they share an exact match of significant length. Here, networks of var genes that recombine freely are expected to have a uniformly random structure, but constraints on recombination will produce network communities that we identify using a stochastic block model. We validate this method on synthetic data, showing that it correctly recovers populations of constrained recombination, before applying it to the Duffy Binding Like-α (DBLα) domain of var genes. We find nine HVRs whose network communities map in distinctive ways to known DBLα classifications and clinical phenotypes. We show that the recombinational constraints of some HVRs are correlated, while others are independent. These findings suggest that this micromodular structuring facilitates independent evolutionary trajectories of neighboring mosaic regions, allowing the parasite to retain protein function while generating enormous sequence diversity. Our approach therefore offers a rigorous method for analyzing evolutionary constraints in var genes, and is also flexible enough to be easily applied more generally to any highly recombinant sequences.

description: This thesis examines social change in the Quechua-speaking town of Chinchero (Peru), located 30 km away from the city of Cuzco. It does so by studying the conditions created by touristic development in the Region. It is an ethnography that builds on, and dialogues with, previous ethnographies done in Chinchero before. It focuses on issues of landscape and cultural heritage, as these are some of the domains most affected by the changes brought about by tourism, among other forms of modernization. The thesis looks at processes of re-territorialization and social exclusion that have followed the reconversion of the Inca ruins into an Archaeological Park. It also studies the town´s reputed textile tradition in a context of growing commercialization. Over the last few years, coinciding with a surge in tourism in the region, the tourist demand for “authentic” indigenous crafts has fostered significant changes in the textile production of Chinchero. The multiplication of weaving centers where the ethnicity is performed for the tourist gaze, plus the social implications of this new mode of social organization, comes into scrutiny. Another major focus of attention is the project of the New International Airport of Cuzco in Chinchero land. The airport is a direct consequence of tourist development in the Region. This thesis explores processes of social disruption and environmental conflict as the project is deeply dividing the community and raising expectations of progress that that are unlikely to be met. Additionally, the airport intersects with issues of indigeneity and the redefinition of the ethnic identity as the project engages with the supposed incompatibility between being indigenous, and thus “traditional”, and being modern, a process that involves the commercialization of “ancestral” land and the heavy reworking of a landscape where the ancestors and other-than-human forces still dwell.

description: Fiber tractography on diffusion imaging data offers rich potential for describing white matter pathways in the human brain, but characterizing the spatial organization in these large and complex data sets remains a challenge. We show that level set trees---which provide a concise representation of the hierarchical mode structure of probability density functions---offer a statistically-principled framework for visualizing and analyzing topography in fiber streamlines. Using diffusion spectrum imaging data collected on neurologically healthy controls (N=30), we mapped white matter pathways from the cortex into the striatum using a deterministic tractography algorithm that estimates fiber bundles as dimensionless streamlines. Level set trees were used for interactive exploration of patterns in the endpoint distributions of the mapped fiber tracks and an efficient segmentation of the tracks that has empirical accuracy comparable to standard nonparametric clustering methods. We show that level set trees can also be generalized to model pseudo-density functions in order to analyze a broader array of data types, including entire fiber streamlines. Finally, resampling methods show the reliability of the level set tree as a descriptive measure of topographic structure, illustrating its potential as a statistical descriptor in brain imaging analysis. These results highlight the broad applicability of level set trees for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional data like fiber tractography output.

An extension of this model, using techniques borrowed from the mathematics of finance, is used to explain the recent observation of non-Maxwellian statistics for these systems. Taken together, these results offer an explanation of the longstanding issues associated with sympathetic cooling of an ion by a neutral buffer gas.

description: Purpose: To investigate whether the sequence of HD IL-2 and a checkpoint inhibitor, Ipilimumab, will have additive or synergistic efficacy or toxicity when used in rapid sequence. Schema: Adult patients with Stage IV or unresectable Stage III metastatic melanoma who are eligible to receive HD IL-2, treatment naïve or have received prior adjuvant therapy are randomized to a sequential administration of 4 doses of Ipilimumab or 4 cycles of HD IL-2 dosed according to their package inserts. Fifty of the patients will start with one drug and 50 the other. The second drug will begin as soon as practically possible, without waiting for relapse. Entry criteria have recently been amended to include prior treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1. Twelve US sites are currently enrolling patients. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee oversees the study. The primary endpoint is the proportional one year survival in the ITT population and a protocol defined population of patients who have received at least half of the planned doses of both study drugs. Clinical response and progression free survival will also be assessed. The primary endpoint is the proportional one year survival in the ITT population and a protocol defined population of patients who have received at least half of the planned doses of both study drugs. Clinical response and progression free survival will also be assessed.
Current status: Twelve US sites are currently enrolling patients. To date 16 patients have been enrolled, 9 on the Ipilimumab first and 7 on the HD IL-2 first arms. No synergistic toxicity has been observed, but one death occurred in the HD IL-2 arm and one colectomy on the Ipilimumab arm, both prior to administration of the other drug.

description: A detailed study of the low-temperature magnetic state and the relaxation in the phase-separated colossal magnetoresistance Nd2/3Ca1/3MnO3 perovskite has been carried out. Clear experimental evidence of the cluster-glass magnetic behavior of this compound has been revealed. Well defined maxima in the in-phase linear ac susceptibility $χ^{/}(T)$ were observed, indicative of the magnetic glass transition at $T_{g}$ = 60 K. Strongly divergent zero-field-cooled and field-cooled static magnetizations and frequency dependent ac susceptibility are evident of the glassy-like magnetic state of the compound at low temperatures. The frequency dependence of the cusp temperature Tmax of the $χ^{/}(T)$ susceptibility was found to follow the critical slowing down mechanism. The Cole-Cole analysis of the dynamic susceptibility at low temperature has shown extremely broad distribution of relaxation times, indicating that spins are frozen at "macroscopic" time scale. Slow relaxation in the zero-field-cooled magnetization has been experimentally revealed. The obtained results do not agree with a canonical spin-glass state and indicate a cluster glass magnetic state of the compound below $T_{g}$, associated with its antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic nano-phase segregated state. It was found that the relaxation mechanisms below the cluster glass freezing temperature $T_{g}$ and above it are strongly different. Magnetic field up to about $μ_{0}$H = 0.4 T suppresses the glassy magnetic state of the compound.

description: Purpose: To investigate whether the Vemurafenib-induced increased tumor antigen expression, T lymphocyte infiltration and tumor debulking improve the complete response rate induced by HD IL-2 in metastatic melanoma and if there is synergistic toxicity using the drugs in close approximation. Schema: Adult patients with measurable metastatic or unresectable Stage III melanoma with no prior therapy and a BRAFV600 mutation who are candidates for HD IL-2 are eligible for entry into the first cohort of 135 patients (figure 1). Six weeks of Vemurafenib therapy per package insert precedes up to 2 courses of HD IL-2. Vemurafenib is administered during the outpatient intervals between cycles of HD IL-2 and following completion. A second cohort of up to 50 similar patients already responding or stable with < 18 weeks of Vemurafenib therapy will also be accrued. The study was amended to permit prior anti-PD-1 therapy. The primary endpoint is Complete Response (CR) and near CR at 6 months of therapy. Current status: Sixteen sites have enrolled patients. 41 patients have been enrolled to date, 27 in Cohort 1 and 14 in cohort 2. The Data Safety and Monitoring Board performed an initial safety analysis after the initial 8 patients which demonstrated no unexpected safety signal. An analysis of the effect of the combination on Progression Free Survival in both cohorts will be performed after the first 20% of patients in Cohort 1 have received at least one course of HD IL-2. The results of this analysis should be available at the time of the SITC meeting.

description: Experimental advances allow for the inclusion of multiple probes to measure the transport properties of a sample surface. We develop a theory of dual-probe scanning tunnelling microscopy using a Green's Function formalism, and apply it to graphene. Sampling the local conduction properties at finite length scales yields real space conductance maps which show anisotropy for pristine graphene systems and quantum interference effects in the presence of isolated impurities. The spectral signatures of the Fourier transform of real space conductance maps include characteristics that can be related to different scattering processes. We compute the conductance maps of graphene systems with different edge geometries or height fluctuations to determine the effects of non-ideal graphene samples on dual-probe measurements.

description: Regulatory T cells (Treg) play a role in suppression of anti-melanoma immunity; however, the exact mechanism is poorly understood. Through intravital two photon microcopy, we found that tumor-specific Pmel-1 effectors engage in cell-cell interactions with tumor resident Tregs. To determine if contact between Tregs and Teff hinders killing of tumor cells in vivo, we utilized ex-vivo three-dimensional collagen-fibrin gel cultures of B16 melanoma cells. Collagen-fibrin gel cultures recapitulated the in vivo suppression, rendering the dissociated tumor resistant to killing by in vitro activated antigen specific T cells. In vivo depletion of Tregs in Foxp3-DTR mice prior to tumor excision reversed the suppression. In vivo modulation of Tregs by GITR ligation had a similar effect, reducing the number of intra-tumor Tregs leading to ex-vivo tumor killing. Using neutralizing antibodies, we found that blocking TGF-β reversed the suppression. In addition, soluble factors from collagen-fibrin gel tumors do not inhibit killing suggesting that suppression is contact or proximity dependent. The CD8 T cells recovered from these gels exhibit a decrease in Granzyme B expression and an increase in expression of T cell exhaustion marker PD-1. These findings support the conclusion that intra-tumor contact with Tregs during the effector phase of the immune response is responsible for inhibiting anti-melanoma immunity in a TGF-β dependent manner shedding light into novel ways to inhibit intratumoral Tregs.

The weak equivalence principle and the Dirac constant: A result from the holographic principle

description: In this article, based on a recent formularization of the holographic principle proposed and investigated by the present author, we show that the weak equivalence principle in general relativity is equivalent to the equivalence between two forms of the Dirac constant, that is, the action of the spin degree of freedom in the two-dimensional Hilbert space and the lower bound in the quantum mechanical uncertainty relations. This result follows from an equation between the Euclidean and Lorentzian world-line actions of a massive particle divided by the Dirac constant, via the Wick rotation, by using the Euclidean and Lorentzian actions of a holographic tensor network, whose quantum state is classicalized by introducing the superselection rule.

description: We present the first high-resolution solar images in the Mg II k 2796 Å line. The images, taken through a 4.8 Å broad interference filter, were obtained during the second science flight of SUNRISE in June 2013 by the SuFI instrument. The Mg II k images display structures that look qualitatively very similar to images taken in the core of Ca II H. The Mg II images exhibit reversed granulation (or shock waves) in the internetwork regions of the quiet Sun, at intensity contrasts that are similar to those found in Ca II H. Very prominent in Mg II are bright points, both in the quiet Sun and in plage regions, particularly near disk center. These are much brighter than at other wavelengths sampled at similar resolution. Furthermore, Mg II k images also show fibril structures associated with plage regions. Again, the fibrils are similar to those seen in Ca II H images, but tend to be more pronounced, particularly in weak plage.

By examining a Gaussian beam obliquely incident on such a cavity, we find that the "side-tail" of the beam leaks into the cavity and gives rise to a field that interferes with the main portion of the beam, which is ultimately responsible for the convergence of the field. This mechanism offers perspective for many phenomena, and we specifically discuss the implications for amplified total internal reflection.

description: When studying families in the moduli space of dynamical systems, choosing an appropriate representative function for a conjugacy class can be a delicate task. The most delicate questions surround rationality of the conjugacy class compared to rationality of the defining polynomials of the representation. We give a normal form for degree three polynomials which has the property that the set of fixed points is equal to the set of fixed point multipliers. This normal form is given in terms of moduli space invariants and, hence, has nice rationality properties. We further classify all degree three rational maps which can be conjugated to have a similar relationship between the fixed points and the fixed point multipliers.

description: We consider a cantilever beam which possesses a possibly non-uniform permanent magnetization, and whose shape is controlled by an applied magnetic field. We model the beam as a plane elastic curve and we suppose that the magnetic field acts upon the beam by means of a distributed couple that pulls the magnetization towards its direction. Given a list of target shapes, we look for a design of the magnetization profile and for a list of controls such that the shapes assumed by the beam when acted upon by the controls are as close as possible to the targets, in an averaged sense. To this effect, we formulate and solve an optimal design and control problem leading to the minimization of a functional which we study by both direct and indirect methods. In particular, we prove that minimizers exist, solve the associated Lagrange-multiplier formulation (besides non-generic cases), and are unique at least for sufficiently low intensities of the controlling magnetic fields. To achieve the latter result, we use two nested fixed-point arguments relying on the Lagrange-multiplier formulation of the problem, a method which also suggests a numerical scheme. Various relevant open question are also discussed.
THE ROLE OF "CONTROL DIARY" IN BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Creators: name: Dilrabo Alikulova

description: Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease, and its effective control plays a crucial role in improving patients' quality of life and disease progression. This study aims to evaluate the role of the "Control Diary" for patients with bronchial asthma and its effectiveness in practical application. During the research, 30 patients from the Syrdarya region were selected and provided with the Omron PFM 20 Peak Flow Meter, manufactured in the United Kingdom. Over three months, patients were trained in self-monitoring skills, and their bronchial asthma management indicators were analyzed. The study results demonstrated that maintaining a "Control Diary" helped reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, decreased the need for medical consultations, and lowered medication expenses. The significance of the study lies in enhancing the role of nurses in assisting asthma patients in effectively managing their condition.

description: In this paper, we use the Lagrangian formalism of classical mechanics and some assumptions to obtain cosmological differential equations analogous to Friedmann and Einstein equations, obtained from the theory of general relativity. This method can be used to a universe constituted of incoherent matter, that is, the cosmologic substratum is comprised of dust.

Siphon Spillway
Creators: name: Gramatky, Ferdinand Gunner
name: Robinson, Kenneth Hall
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1929
Subjects: subject: Civil Engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: A brief summary of conclusions drawn from this work is as follows:

1. The coefficient of discharge increases directly as the operating head on a siphon spillway while discharging into deep water, and decreases rapidly with increase of head when discharge is in shallow water and air.

The rate of discharge increases with the head, and approaches a nearly constant value for higher heads.

Similar tests made on the model without the air trap seal has the effect of increasing the rate of discharge when discharging into air, and a slight increase of the coefficient of discharge at lower heads.

2. Better means of measuring pressure must be sought, and until then, accurate means of obtaining losses from point to point are not available. A Pitot tube exploration seems the best suggestion. The maximum losses are in the entrance, throat, and bend over the crest. Q = AV does not hold for ordinary piezometer tube measurements, and Bernoulli's theorem may not be applied.

3. The principles of similitude my be applied to the siphon, and the scale factor may be increased to 4, with all characteristics remaining the same. The discharge varies as the five halves power of the scale factor.
Geology of a Portion of the Southeast Quarter of the Tejon Quadrangle, Los Angeles County, California
Creators: name: Clements, Thomas
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1929
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: In this area of some thirty-eight square miles in the
southeast corner of the Tejon Quadrangle, are exposed
igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The metamorphics are mainly schists derived from former sediments, and Pre-Jurassic in age. The sedimentary rocks occupy the principal part of the area and represent deposition in Martinez, Sespe, Mint Canyon, Modelo, Saugus and Quaternary times. The igneous rock is an isolated remnant of acidic lava probably of Miocene age.

Three prominent faults are found in and immediately
adjacent to the area; the San Francisquito, partly overthrust, partly normal in character; the Bee Canyon Fault, normal; and the fault just north of the area, which is also normal. Some folding occurs, probably related to the
faulting.

Perhaps the two most important facts brought out by
the study are the apparently lateral and upward grading of
non-marine Mint Canyon sediments into marine Modelo, and the
overthrust nature of the San Francisquito Fault in the
canyon of the same name.

description: The determination of the absolute scale of the neutrino masses is one of the most challenging present questions in particle physics. The most stringent limit, $m(\barν_{\mathrm{e}})<2$eV, was achieved for the electron anti-neutrino mass \cite{numass}. Different approaches are followed to achieve a sensitivity on neutrino masses in the sub-eV range. Among them, experiments exploring the beta decay or electron capture of suitable nuclides can provide information on the electron neutrino mass value. We present the Electron Capture $^{163}$Ho experiment ECHo, which aims to investigate the electron neutrino mass in the sub-eV range by means of the analysis of the calorimetrically measured energy spectrum following electron capture of $^{163}$Ho. A high precision and high statistics spectrum will be measured with arrays of metallic magnetic calorimeters. We discuss some of the essential aspects of ECHo to reach the proposed sensitivity: detector optimization and performance, multiplexed readout, $^{163}$Ho source production and purification, as well as a precise theoretical and experimental parameterization of the calorimetric EC spectrum including in particular the value of $Q_{\mathrm{EC}}$. We present preliminary results obtained with a first prototype of single channel detectors as well as a first 64-pixel chip with integrated micro-wave SQUID multiplexer, which will already allow to investigate $m(ν_{\mathrm{e}})$ in the eV range.

Geology of a Portion of the Santa Ana Mountains, California
Creators: name: Southwick, Thomas Scott
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: In this paper is presented a geologic map of a part of the southern Santa Ana mountains. Studies in lithology were made especially of the Tejon formation. The structure was found to be simple with a few faults which were studied by the writer, especially the Cristianitos and the San Onofre faults. The physiographic and geologic history are discussed. Finally, some clay deposits of economic importance arc described.

The area described in this report comprises about seventy-five square miles in the southern portion of the Santa Ana mountains in Southern California, and embraces parts of Orange and San Diego counties. See Plate I.
This area is covered by the south-east corner of the Corona, and the north-east corner of the Capistrano quadrangles, respectively.

The region was studied, at the suggestion of Dr. J. P. Buwalda, in the nature of a research problem requisite to the Master of Science degree. The Santa Ana mountains present many interesting problems, to some of which the writer directed his attention. In this connection, it should be indicated that these problems are to a great extent regional ones, and that a study, even though intensive, can only shed light on these rather than solve them. For this reason, the writer did not hesitate to draw freely upon the information in the several reports on this general region, especially the notably paper by A.O. Woodford. (Woodford, A.O., The San Onofre Breccia – Its Nature and Origin.: Univ. Cal. Publ., vol. 15, No. 7, pp 159-280, 1925). Specific references to these papers will be made throughout the course of this report. An excellent
bibliography will be found in Woodford’s paper.

A brief statement of the general geology of this portion of Southern California will perhaps clarify somewhat the following discussions. The Santa Ana mountains are a tilted, seaward sloping mountain block with a very straight and abrupt fault scarp that faces the north-east and overlooks the Perris peneplain. The block is an elevated peneplain with Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments upon its flanks grading into the coastal plain. Farther south, the structure becomes somewhat more complicated due to other mountain ranges, but the same tilted structure predominates.

description: We present several quantum algorithms for performing nearest-neighbor learning. At the core of our algorithms are fast and coherent quantum methods for computing distance metrics such as the inner product and Euclidean distance. We prove upper bounds on the number of queries to the input data required to compute these metrics. In the worst case, our quantum algorithms lead to polynomial reductions in query complexity relative to the corresponding classical algorithm. In certain cases, we show exponential or even super-exponential reductions over the classical analog. We study the performance of our quantum nearest-neighbor algorithms on several real-world binary classification tasks and find that the classification accuracy is competitive with classical methods.

description: This paper shows that in general, difference fields do not have a difference closure. However, we introduce a stronger notion of closure (kappa-closure), and show that every algebraically closed difference field K of characteristic 0, with fixed field satisfying a certain natural condition, has a closure, and this closure is unique up to isomorphism over K.
