description: In cooperatively breeding species, social conflict is typically assumed to underlie destructive behaviours like infanticide. However, an untested alternative hypothesis in birds is that infanticide in the form of egg tossing may simply be a parental response to partial nest predation representing a life-history trade-off. We examined egg tossing behaviour in the colonial and cooperatively breeding grey-capped social weaver (Pseudonigrita arnaudi), a plural breeder in which pairs nest separately, often in the same tree. Using infrared nest cameras, we found that 78% of the tossing events from 2012 to 2017 were committed by parents, suggesting that social conflict is unlikely to be the main reason underlying egg tossing in this species. Instead, reductions in clutch size due to both natural and experimentally simulated predation induced parental egg tossing. Our study suggests that destructive behaviour in cooperatively breeding birds can be shaped by a variety of mechanisms beyond social conflict and that alternative hypotheses must be considered when studying the adaptive significance of infanticide in group-living species.
Determining the Role of HRP2 in Oncogenic Senescence
Creators: name: Stanley, Karly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Cellular senescence is a tumor-suppressor mechanism that prevents the proliferation of cancerous cells by inducing a state of permanent cell cycle arrest. Common characteristics of senescent cells include abnormal cell morphology and increased expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16. Elevated p16 expression is facilitated by the presence of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), which are formed in part by the HP1 epigenetic pathway. We have previously identified hepatoma-derived growth factor-related protein 2 (HRP2) as a novel protein of the HP1 pathway; however, little is known about its function as an epigenetic regulator. To better understand the role of HRP2 within the HP1 pathway, we investigated whether HRP2 contributes to the pathway’s senescence-promoting behavior. We found that exogenous expression of HRP2 promotes a senescent-like phenotype in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, as well as the prostate cancer cell line PC3. Wound-healing analysis demonstrated that HRP2 infection inhibits motility of MDA-MB-231 cells, but not PC3 cells. Using CRISPR-dCas9 technology to modulate endogenous HRP2 expression levels, we observed that endogenous HRP2 expression is positively correlated with p16 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. Taken together, these findings indicate that in certain cell lines, HRP2 acts within the HP1 pathway to form SAHF, promoting p16 expression and driving cells into premature senescence. A better understanding of the mechanistic function of HRP2 as a chromatin modulator may clarify the processes of this cellular stress-response pathway and lead to the development of novel therapeutics to treat diseases associated with its dysregulation, such as cancer.

description: Silkworm Bombyx mori (B. mori), a lepidopteran model organism, has become an important model for molecular biology. It also offers an excellent model to study the innate immunity because of its similarity to human beings. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a typical gram-positive pathogenic microorganism that causes serious pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and septicemia. In this study, silkworm was used as animal model to study the innate immune responses against the pathogenic bacterial infections. We investigated the median lethal dose (LD50) of S. aureus infection in the silkworm, and the pathological changes in their hemolymph and midgut after infection. The LD50 of S. aureus infecting the silkworms was 4.39 × 104 colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) after 72 h. The peritrophic membrane of the silkworm showed severe damage after 36 h. Insect hemocytes can participate in various innate immune responses, such as encapsulation and nodule formation. Our results imply plasmacytes of hemocytes can adhere to and spread over S. aureus in the hemolymph and may play an important role in the resistance of the silkworms to S. aureus infection.

Applying Sorting Networks to Synthesize Optimized Sorting Libraries

description: This paper shows an application of the theory of sorting networks to facilitate the synthesis of optimized general purpose sorting libraries. Standard sorting libraries are often based on combinations of the classic Quicksort algorithm with insertion sort applied as the base case for small fixed numbers of inputs. Unrolling the code for the base case by ignoring loop conditions eliminates branching and results in code which is equivalent to a sorting network. This enables the application of further program transformations based on sorting network optimizations, and eventually the synthesis of code from sorting networks. We show that if considering the number of comparisons and swaps then theory predicts no real advantage of this approach. However, significant speed-ups are obtained when taking advantage of instruction level parallelism and non-branching conditional assignment instructions, both of which are common in modern CPU architectures. We provide empirical evidence that using code synthesized from efficient sorting networks as the base case for Quicksort libraries results in significant real-world speed-ups.

description: We present stellar mass fractions and composite luminosity functions (LFs) for a sample of \Ncl\ clusters from the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS) at a redshift range of $0.951 \leq z \leq 1.43$. Using SED fitting of optical and deep mid-infrared photometry, we establish the membership of objects along the lines-of-sight to these clusters and calculate the stellar masses of member galaxies. We find stellar mass fractions for these clusters largely consistent with previous works, including appearing to display a negative correlation with total cluster mass. We measure a composite $3.6~\mathrm{μm}$ LF down to $m^*+2.5$ for all 12 clusters. Fitting a Schechter function to the LF, we find a characteristic $3.6~\mathrm{μm}$ magnitude of $m^*=19.83\pm0.12$ and faint-end slope of $α=-0.81\pm0.10$ for the full sample at a mean redshift of $\bar{z} = 1.18$. We also divide the clusters into high- and low-redshift bins at $\bar{z}=1.29$ and $\bar{z}=1.06$ respectively and measure a composite LF for each bin. We see a small, but statistically significant evolution in $m^*$ and $α$ -- consistent with passive evolution -- when we study the joint fit to the two parameters, which is probing the evolution of faint cluster galaxies at $z\sim1$. This highlights the importance of deep IR data in studying the evolution of cluster galaxy populations at high-redshift.

description: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) serves as a useful toy model for classical observables in gravitational two-body systems with reduced complexity due to the linearity of QED. We investigate scattering observables in scalar QED at the sixth order in the charges (two-loop order) in a classical regime analogous to the post-Minkowskian expansion in General Relativity. We employ modern scattering amplitude tools and extract classical observables by both eikonal methods and the formalism of Kosower, Maybee, and O'Connell (KMOC). In addition, we provide a simplified approach to extracting the radial action beyond the conservative sector.

Επιπλέον, σημειώνεται ότι ορισμένοι από τους ασθενείς δεν έχουν επαρκείς δεξιότητες αντιμετώπισης. Η παρούσα μελέτη μέσω μιας συστηματικής βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης επιδιώκει να καταγράψει τις επιπτώσεις από τη διακοπή λειτουργίας των κέντρων ΙΥΑ καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας COVID-19.
description: The COVID-19 pandemic has developed rapidly. The suspension of services related to infertility and assisted reproductive techniques is among the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic. For this purpose, various guides and recommendations have been published by many national and international associations. The recommendations provide for the completion of cycles already started and do not require the initiation of new reproductive treatments except for patients with low ovarian reserve and those with a background of oncological disorders. The existing literature documents that the majority of couples whose treatment is suspended/postponed throughout this process have experienced intense stress, grief and anxiety. In addition, it is noted that some of the patients do not have adequate coping skills. The present study through a systematic literature review seeks to document the post-disruption of medically assisted reproduction centers throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: We studied the effect of delocalized single-photon addition (DPA) on two input modes containing four cases: two independent coherent states (CSs), two independent thermal states (TSs), two independent single-mode squeezed vacuums (SVs), and an entangled two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV). In essence, four types of new non-Gaussian entangled light states are generated. We studied three different resources (including entanglement, discorrelation and Wigner negativity) for each two-mode light state. The output states after DPA are entangled, with more parameters and complex structures, characterizing more Wigner negativity or even discorrelation. In contrast, the CSs case is the most tunable protocol, because its negativity under partial transposition, discorrelation, and Wigner logarithmic negativity are more sensitive to superposition phase than those in TSs, SVs and TMSV cases.

A Spectroscopic Study of the Extreme Black Widow PSR J1311-3430

description: We report on a series of spectroscopic observations of PSR J1311-3430, an extreme black-widow gamma-ray pulsar with a helium-star companion. In a previous study we estimated the neutron star mass as M_NS= 2.68+/-0.14M_Sun (statistical error), based on limited spectroscopy and a basic (direct heating) light curve model; however, much larger model-dependent systematics dominate the mass uncertainty. Our new spectroscopy reveals a range of complex source behavior. The variable He I companion wind emission lines can dominate broad-band photometry, especially in red filters or near minimum brightness, and the wind flux should complete companion evaporation in a spin-down time. The heated companion face also undergoes dramatic flares, reaching 40,000K over 20% of the star; this is likely powered by a magnetic field generated in the companion. The companion center-of-light radial velocity is now well measured with K_CoL = 615.4+/-5.km/s. We detect non-sinusoidal velocity components due to the heated face flux distribution. Using our spectra to excise flares and wind lines, we generate substantially improved light curves for companion continuum fitting. We show that the inferred inclination and neutron star mass, however, remain sensitive to the poorly constrained heating pattern. The neutron star's mass, M_NS, is likely less than the direct heating value and could range as low as 1.8M_Sun for extreme equatorial heating concentration. While we cannot yet pin down M_NS, our data imply that an intrabinary shock reprocesses the pulsar emission and heats the companion. Improved spectra and, especially, models that include such shock heating are needed for precise parameter measurement.

description: Magnetic domains of a (110)[001] grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) were investigated at temperatures up to 550 °C utilizing magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy. Elevation of temperature resulted in the disappearance of lancet domains and reduction of the slap domain width. The domain width also showed an inverse relationship with the demagnetization frequency. Finally, this work presents a detailed characterization of the magnetization process of GOES at high temperatures taking into account the external magnetic field direction. The magnetic domain patterns observed at high temperature in transverse field are known from room temperature observations, but they only appear on a much thicker GOES sheet. We conclude that at elevated temperatures the contribution of magnetostrictive energy to the total energy increases and dictates the domain character.

description: Universality is a well-established central concept of equilibrium physics. However, in systems far away from equilibrium a deeper understanding of its underlying principles is still lacking. Up to now, a few classes have been identified. Besides the diffusive universality class with dynamical exponent $z=2$ another prominent example is the superdiffusive Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class with $z=3/2$. It appears e.g. in low-dimensional dynamical phenomena far from thermal equilibrium which exhibit some conservation law. Here we show that both classes are only part of an infinite discrete family of non-equilibrium universality classes. Remarkably their dynamical exponents $z_α$ are given by ratios of neighbouring Fibonacci numbers, starting with either $z_1=3/2$ (if a KPZ mode exist) or $z_1=2$ (if a diffusive mode is present). If neither a diffusive nor a KPZ mode are present, all dynamical modes have the Golden Mean $z=(1+\sqrt{5})/2$ as dynamical exponent. The universal scaling functions of these Fibonacci modes are asymmetric Lévy distributions which are completely fixed by the macroscopic current-density relation and compressibility matrix of the system and hence accessible to experimental measurement.

description: The Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism describes a physical process for the energy extraction from a spinning black hole (BH), which is believed to power a great variety of astrophysical sources, such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and Gamma ray bursts (GRBs). The only known analytic solution to the BZ mechanism is a split monopole perturbation solution up to $O(a^2)$, where $a$ is the spin parameter of a Kerr black hole. In this paper, we extend the monopole solution to higher order $\sim O(a^4)$. We carefully investigate the structure of the BH magnetosphere, including the angular velocity of magnetic field lines $Ω$, the toroidal magnetic field $B^ϕ$ as well as the poloidal electric current $I$. In addition, the relevant energy extraction rate $\dot E$ and the stability of this high-order monopole perturbation solution are also examined.

description: Heterogeneous Information Networks (HINs) are labeled graphs that depict relationships among different types of entities (e.g., users, movies and directors). For HINs, meta-path-based recommenders (MPRs) utilize meta-paths (i.e., abstract paths consisting of node and link types) to predict user preference, and have attracted a lot of attention due to their explainability and performance. We observe that the performance of MPRs is highly sensitive to the meta-paths they use, but existing works manually select the meta-paths from many possible ones. Thus, to discover effective meta-paths automatically, we propose the Reinforcement learning-based Meta-path Selection (RMS) framework. Specifically, we define a vector encoding for meta-paths and design a policy network to extend meta-paths. The policy network is trained based on the results of downstream recommendation tasks and an early stopping approximation strategy is proposed to speed up training. RMS is a general model, and it can work with all existing MPRs. We also propose a new MPR called RMS-HRec, which uses an attention mechanism to aggregate information from the meta-paths. We conduct extensive experiments on real datasets. Compared with the manually selected meta-paths, the meta-paths identified by RMS consistently improve recommendation quality. Moreover, RMS-HRec outperforms state-of-the-art recommender systems by an average of 7% in hit ratio. The codes and datasets are available on https://github.com/Stevenn9981/RMS-HRec.

description: Cold Induced Phase Separation or CIPS using acetonitrile (ACN) is a new method for extractions of important biological molecules including amino acids, nucleotides, and lipids. When mixture of water and CAN are subjected to temperature less than 4° C they phase separation occurs, with the top layer being ACN and the bottom layer being the aqueous phase. Previous methods such as MPLEx and SiMPLEx, utilize harmful chemicals such as chloroform and methyl-tert-butyl ether that are toxic to the environment. The CIPS method utilizes ACN which is far more environmentally friendly. In the first part of this study, solubility studies were conducted to explore the solubility of phenylalanine, valine and RNA in water and ACN. NMR spectroscopy was then utilized to analyze compounds such as phenylalanine, valine, RNA, and lipids in ACN. Finally, the effect of pressure partitioning of select compounds was performed using a pressurized chamber. Each fraction from the separation was then analyzed using NMR spectroscopy to investigate how much of each compound was present in each fraction. A partitioning coefficient was then calculated from this data. An increasing pressure to 30 psi caused increasing partitioning of phenylalanine and valine in the ACN phase. Further studies on the use of ACN as the non-polar solvent is encouraged, including studying a wider range of molecules as well as changing physio-chemical conditions to optimize separation outcomes.

Do Drones Drive Violence: How U.S. Drone Strikes Impact Tehrik-i Taliban Attacks Against Civilians in Pakistan
Creators: name: Cox, Taylor

description: Prior studies of drone strikes have focused almost exclusively on how leadership decapitations and targeted killings impact subsequent terrorist violence. This study aims to address this gap in the literature by analyzing failed drone strikes and strikes against low-level militants to determine how these kinds of drone strikes influence terrorist attacks against civilians. This study anticipates that U.S. drone strikes destabilize terrorist organizations, causing them to resort to civilian victimization as a means of achieving their group goals. To determine the validity of this hypothesis, this study examines how U.S. drone strikes affect the Tehrik-i Taliban (TTP), one of the deadliest terrorist organizations in northern Pakistan.

Quantitative findings show that as the number of U.S. airstrikes conducted against the TTP over 30 days increase, the number of civilians killed in TTP attacks also tends to increase. However, the analysis also finds that non-U.S. military operations conducted on the ground are a better predictor of civilian deaths than either U.S. or non-U.S. airstrikes. The case study of the TTP demonstrates that TTP attacks increased in frequency and lethality and diversified in the targets selected and geographic area they covered during periods of intense drone strikes, suggesting that drone strikes may have a role in increasing terrorist capacity to plan and conduct attacks. Furthermore, drone strikes appear to encourage TTP attacks against various civilian targets, including: civilians whom the TTP suspect of being spies, Pakistani political targets, and Western interests. 

Including failed drone strikes and strikes against low-level militants in when analyzing the effects of drone strikes on terrorist violence is critical to evaluating the effectiveness of the U.S. drone campaign as a whole. This study aims to contribute to this field of research by examining how the entirety of the U.S. drone program alters TTP patterns of violence against civilians in Pakistan.

description: The small-scale magnetic field is ubiquitous at the solar surface---even at high latitudes. From observations we know that this field is uncorrelated (or perhaps even weakly anticorrelated) with the global sunspot cycle. Our aim is to explore the origin, and particularly the cycle dependence of such a phenomenon using three-dimensional dynamo simulations. We adopt a simple model of a turbulent dynamo in a shearing box driven by helically forced turbulence. Depending on the dynamo parameters, large-scale (global) and small-scale (local) dynamos can be excited independently in this model. Based on simulations in different parameter regimes, we find that, when only the large-scale dynamo is operating in the system, the small-scale magnetic field generated through shredding and tangling of the large-scale magnetic field is positively correlated with the global magnetic cycle. However, when both dynamos are operating, the small-scale field is produced from both the small-scale dynamo and the tangling of the large-scale field. In this situation, when the large-scale field is weaker than the equipartition value of the turbulence, the small-scale field is almost uncorrelated with the large-scale magnetic cycle. On the other hand, when the large-scale field is stronger than the equipartition value, we observe an anticorrelation between the small-scale field and the large-scale magnetic cycle. This anticorrelation can be interpreted as a suppression of the small-scale dynamo. Based on our studies we conclude that the observed small-scale magnetic field in the Sun is generated by the combined mechanisms of small-scale dynamo and tangling of the large-scale field.

description: The purpose of this master thesis is to study the communication skills of health management. In particular, health management is studied, with emphasis on the concept of social care, among others. Furthermore, the concept of leadership, its styles, and the way leadership affects the functioning of health organizations are examined. In terms of communication, the types of communication are studied, as well as the link between organizational culture and communication, and the relationship between communication and leadership and emotional intelligence. In the context of the study of communication skills in health management, the paper focuses on the communication challenges that arise in the health sector, as well as on the effective management of conflict, and on managing the specificity and diversity in workplaces. Regarding the methodology used is an extensive literature search in scientific journals and relevant writings that address issues of health management and health care facilities. Furthermore, material from the internet is used so that the approach to the issue is as up-to-date as possible.
Friction of Water on Graphene and Hexagonal Boron Nitride from ab initio Methods: Very Different Slippage Despite Very Similar Interface Structures

description: Friction is one of the main sources of dissipation at liquid water/solid interfaces. Despite recent progress, a detailed understanding of water/solid friction in connection with the structure and energetics of the solid surface is lacking. Here we show for the first time that \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics can be used to unravel the connection between the structure of nanoscale water and friction for liquid water in contact with graphene and with hexagonal boron nitride. We find that whilst the interface presents a very similar structure between the two sheets, the friction coefficient on boron nitride is $\approx 3$ times larger than that on graphene. This comes about because of the greater corrugation of the energy landscape on boron nitride arising from specific electronic structure effects. We discuss how a subtle dependence of the friction on the atomistic details of a surface, that is not related to its wetting properties, may have a significant impact on the transport of water at the nanoscale, with implications for the development of membranes for desalination and for osmotic power harvesting.

description: The joint convexity of the map $(X,A) \mapsto X^* A^{-1} X$, an integral representation of operator convex functions, and an observation of Ando are used to obtain a simple proof of both the joint convexity of relative entropy and a trace convexity result of Lieb. The latter was the key ingredient in the original proof of the strong subadditivity of quantum entropy.
description: Added dedication to Derek W. Robinson. Added proof of the montonicity of relative entropy under partial traces and strong subadditivity of quantum entropy to v2. Added to v3, a section on generalizations of relative entropy and a remark (not in LMP version) proving the joint convexity of relative entropy using an integral representation for log x instead of operator convex functions
