description: We prove that the group of normalized cohomological invariants of degree 3 modulo the subgroup of semidecomposable invariants of a semisimple split linear algebraic group G is isomorphic to the torsion part of the Chow group of codimension 2 cycles of the respective versal G-flag. In particular, if G is simple, we show that this factor group is isomorphic to the group of indecomposable invariants of G. As an application, we construct nontrivial cohomological classes for indecomposable central simple algebras.

description: The object of this study is to develop methods for automatically annotating the argumentative role of sentences in scientific abstracts. Working from Medline abstracts, we classified sentences into four major argumentative roles: objective, method, result, conclusion. The idea is that if the role of each sentence can be marked up, then this metadata can be used during information retrieval to seek for particular types of information such as novelty, conclusions, methodologies, aims/goals of a scientific piece of work.

description: Halophilic microorganisms have long been known to survive within the brine inclusions of salt crystals, as evidenced by the change in color for salt crystals containing pigmented halophiles. However, the molecular mechanisms allowing this survival has remained an open question for decades. While protocols for the surface sterilization of halite (NaCl) have enabled isolation of cells and DNA from within halite brine inclusions, “-omics” based approaches have faced two main technical challenges: (1) removal of all contaminating organic biomolecules (including proteins) from halite surfaces, and (2) performing selective biomolecule extractions directly from cells contained within halite brine inclusions with sufficient speed to avoid modifications in gene expression during extraction. In this study, we tested different methods to resolve these two technical challenges. Following this method development, we then applied the optimized methods to perform the first examination of the early acclimation of a model haloarchaeon (Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1) to halite brine inclusions. Examinations of the proteome of Halobacterium cells two months post-evaporation revealed a high degree of similarity with stationary phase liquid cultures, but with a sharp down-regulation of ribosomal proteins. While proteins for central metabolism were part of the shared proteome between liquid cultures and halite brine inclusions, proteins involved in cell mobility (archaellum, gas vesicles) were either absent or less abundant in halite samples. Proteins unique to cells within brine inclusions included transporters, suggesting modified interactions between cells and the surrounding brine inclusion microenvironment. The methods and hypotheses presented here enable future studies of the survival of halophiles in both culture model and natural halite systems.

Perceptions of Spirituality and Spiritual Development in Education held by Teachers and Students on Teacher Training Courses

description: Current legislation requires schools in England and Wales to promote the spiritual development of their pupils. The non-statutory guidance provided by various bodies has resulted in broad and inclusive definitions of the ‘spiritual’ and ‘spiritual development’ which combines both the religious and the secular and applies to all areas of the curriculum and school life. The world of academia has responded to this quasi-official guidance with varying degrees of approval to downright hostility, exposing the pretence that all agree with the current definitions and guidance. This thesis examines, by means of a cross-sectional survey, using qualitative and quantitative data gathered by means of questionnaire and interview, the perceptions of a sample of student teachers (428) on teacher training courses and qualified teachers (76) of the meanings of 'spirituality', 'spiritual experience' and 'spiritual development'. Although different viewpoints emerge, some underlying themes can be discerned. 'Spirituality' is conceived as the acquisition of a set of principles to guide everyday living, which may be derived from a religion, from a personal philosophy or from beliefs concerning morality, relationships with others, and an increased awareness of life and the world. The 'spiritual development' of pupils is seen to imply their freedom to search for and decide the principles they will adopt. The views of respondents on the extent to which 'spiritual development' should form part of the teacher's role are also reported, and it is suggested that current terminology associated with ‘spirituality’ be replaced with terms which students and teachers can more readily understand.

description: This paper presents a new knowledge-acquisition system—the Case Experience Combination System (CECoS). With CECoS, two information or knowledge sources are jointly analyzed. Previously recorded problem solutions (individual cases) are combined with an expert’s high-level understanding of the global structure of a task domain. By combining the detailed case information with an expert’s general insights, CECoS provides the domain knowledge with which-skeletal plans can be automatically constructed.
A Simple Model for Identifying Critical Structures in Atrial Fibrillation

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common abnormal heart rhythm and the single biggest cause of stroke. Ablation, destroying regions of the atria, is applied largely empirically and can be curative but with a disappointing clinical success rate. We design a simple model of activation wavefront propagation on a structure mimicking the branching network architecture of heart muscle and show how AF emerges spontaneously as age-related parameters change. We identify regions responsible for the initiation and maintenance of AF, the ablation of which terminates AF. The simplicity of the model allows us to calculate analytically the risk of arrhythmia. This analytical result allows us to locate the transition in parameter space and highlights that the transition from regular to fibrillatory behaviour is a finite-size effect present in systems of any size. These clinically testable predictions might inform ablation therapies and arrhythmic risk assessment.

description: In contrast with $B^0-\bar B^0$, $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing where the standard model (SM) contributions overwhelm that of new physics beyond standard model (BSM), a measured relatively large $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing where the SM contribution is negligible, definitely implies the existence of new physics BSM. It is natural to consider that the rare decays of D meson might be more sensitive to new physics, and the rare decay $D^0\to μ^+μ^-$ could be an ideal area to search for new physics because it is a flavor changing process. In this work we look for a trace of new physics BSM in the leptonic decays of $D^0$, concretely we discuss the contributions of unparticle or an extra gauge boson $Z'$ while imposing the constraints set by fitting the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing data. We find that the long-distance SM effects for $D^0\to l\bar l$ still exceed those contributions of the BSM under consideration, but for a double-flavor changing process such as $D^0\to μ^{\pm}e^{\mp}$, the new physics contribution would be significant.

description: It is well known that profit sharing arrangements Pareto-dominate fixed wage contracts. Share agreements are (far) less than ubiquitous, however. This paper offers a solution of this ”fixed wage puzzle“ by adopting a perspective of bounded rationality. We show that share arrangements that fulfill ”plausible“ constraints are not generally acceptable to both firms and unions.

description: We investigate mesoscopic Josephson junction arrays created by patterning superconducting disks on monolayer graphene, concentrating on the high-$T/T_c$ regime of these devices and the phenomena which contribute to the superconducting glass state in diffusive arrays. We observe features in the magnetoconductance at rational fractions of flux quanta per array unit cell, which we attribute to the formation of flux-quantized vortices. The applied fields at which the features occur are well described by Ginzburg-Landau simulations that take into account the number of unit cells in the array. We find that the mean conductance and universal conductance fluctuations are both enhanced below the critical temperature and field of the superconductor, with greater enhancement away from the graphene Dirac point.

description: We study the low-energy edge states of a superconductor -- 3D topological-insulator hybrid structure (NS junction) in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The hybridization of electron-like and hole-like Landau levels due to Andreev reflection gives rise to chiral edge states within each Landau level. We show that by changing the chemical potential of the superconductor, this junction can be placed in a regime where the sign of the effective charge of the edge state within the zeroth Landau level changes more than once resulting in neutral edge modes with a finite value of the guiding-center coordinate. We find that the appearance of these neutral edge modes is related to the level repulsion between the zeroth and the first Landau levels in the spectra. We also find that these neutral edge modes come in pairs, one in the zeroth Landau level and its corresponding pair in the first.

From Repeatability to Self-Organization of Guided Streamers Propagating in a Jet of Cold Plasma

Subjects: classificationCode: 510602
subject: Plasma physics; fusion plasmas; electrical discharges

description: In this work, a jet of cold plasma is generated in a device supplied in helium and powered with a high-voltage nanopulse power supply, hence generating guided streamers. We focus on the interaction between these guided streamers and two targets placed in a series: a metal mesh target (MM) at floating potential followed by a metal plate target (MP) grounded by a 1500 Ω resistor. We demonstrate that such an experimental setup allows to shift from a physics of streamer repeatability to a physics of streamer self-organization, i.e., from the repetition of guided streamers that exhibit fixed spatiotemporal constants to the emergence of self-organized guided streamers, each of which is generated on the rising edge of a high-voltage pulse. Up to five positive guided streamers can be self-organized one after the other, all distinct in space and time. While self-organization occurs in the capillary and up to the MM target, we also demonstrate the existence of transient emissive phenomena in the inter-target region, especially a filamentary discharge whose generation is directly correlated with complexity order Ω. The mechanisms of the self-organized guided streamers are deciphered by correlating their optical and electrical properties measured by fast ICCD camera and current-voltage probes, respectively. For the sake of clarity, special attention is paid to the case where three self-organized guided streamers (α, β and γ) propagate at vα = 75.7 km·s–1, vβ = 66.5 km·s–1 and vγ = 58.2 km·s–1), before being accelerated in the vicinity of the MM target.

description: We construct the geometric Baum-Connes assembly map for twisted Lie groupoids, that means for Lie groupoids together with a given groupoid equivariant $PU(H)-$principle bundle. The construction is based on the use of geometric deformation groupoids, these objects allow in particular to give a geometric construction of the associated pushforward maps and to establish the functoriality. The main results in this paper are to define the geometric twisted K-homology groups and to construct the assembly map. Even in the untwisted case the fact that the geometric twisted K-homology groups and the geometric assembly map are well defined for Lie groupoids is new, as it was only sketched by Connes in his book for general Lie groupoids without any restrictive hypothesis, in particular for non Hausdorff Lie groupoids. We also prove the Morita invariance of the assembly map, giving thus a precise meaning to the geometric assembly map for twisted differentiable stacks. We discuss the relation of the assembly map with the associated assembly map of the $S^1$-central extension. The relation with the analytic assembly map is treated, as well as some cases in which we have an isomorphism. One important tool is the twisted Thom isomorphism in the groupoid equivariant case which we establish in the appendix.
description: References added and several typos corrected. More details on the equivariant twisted Thom isomorphism are included. We thank the colleague that pointed us out some imprecisions about the Thom isomorphism on the previous version

description: This paper studies the general problem of operating energy storage under uncertainty. Two fundamental sources of uncertainty are considered, namely the uncertainty in the unexpected fluctuation of the net demand process and the uncertainty in the locational marginal prices. We propose a very simple algorithm termed Online Modified Greedy (OMG) algorithm for this problem. A stylized analysis for the algorithm is performed, which shows that comparing to the optimal cost of the corresponding stochastic control problem, the sub-optimality of OMG is bounded and approaches zero in various scenarios. This suggests that, albeit simple, OMG is guaranteed to have good performance in some cases; and in other cases, OMG together with the sub-optimality bound can be used to provide a lower bound for the optimal cost. Such a lower bound can be valuable in evaluating other heuristic algorithms. For the latter cases, a semidefinite program is derived to minimize the sub-optimality bound of OMG. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify our theoretical analysis and to demonstrate the use of the algorithm.

Release of Arabidopsis seed dormancy by cold atmospheric plasma relies on cytoplasmic glass transition

subject: Biological physics

description: When mature Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are dormant, their germination is prevented in apparently favourable conditions. This primary dormancy can be released during seed dry storage through a process called after-ripening whose duration can last several months. To reduce this delay, cold atmospheric plasmas (CAP) can be used as sources of reactive oxygen species capable of inducing heterogeneous chemical reactions. While CAP are known to stimulate the germination of various seed species, the relationship between CAP treatments and the amorphous solid state of dry seeds remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that seed dormancy can be alleviated using a cold plasma of ambient air and that this alleviation can be amplified for seeds with high water-content (typically 30 %DW) or seeds heated at 60 °C during plasma treatment. Differential scanning micro-calorimetry shows that these characteristics control the glassy/rubbery state of the seed cytoplasm. This technique indicates also that a glass transition to the rubbery state strengthens the CAP effects to alleviate seed dormancy. We propose that lower cytoplasmic viscosity can promote the oxidative signaling induced by CAP which, in turn, improves the germination process.

description: We study the relation between the quantum conditional mutual information and the quantum $α$-Rényi divergences. Considering the totally antisymmetric state we show that it is not possible to attain a proper generalization of the quantum conditional mutual information by optimizing the distance in terms of quantum $α$-Rényi divergences over the set of all Markov states. The failure of the approach considered arises from the observation that a small quantum conditional mutual information does not imply that the state is close to a quantum Markov state.

description: Let $Γ$ be a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Sp}(V)$. In this article we count the number of symplectic resolutions admitted by the quotient singularity $V / Γ$. Our approach is to compare the universal Poisson deformation of the symplectic quotient singularity with the deformation given by the Calogero-Moser space. In this way, we give a simple formula for the number of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminalizations admitted by the symplectic quotient singularity in terms of the dimension of a certain Orlik-Solomon algebra naturally associated to the Calogero-Moser deformation. This dimension is explicitly calculated for all groups $Γ$ for which it is known that $V / Γ$ admits a symplectic resolution. As a consequence of our results, we confirm a conjecture of Ginzburg and Kaledin.

From Basics to Frontiers: A Comprehensive Review of Plasma-Modified and Plasma-Synthesized Polymer Films
Creators: name: DUFOUR, Thierry
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 510602
subject: Plasma physics; fusion plasmas; electrical discharges

description: This comprehensive review begins by tracing the historical development and progress of cold plasma technology as an innovative approach to polymer engineering. The study emphasizes the versatility of cold plasma derived from a variety of sources including low-pressure glow discharges (e.g., radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasmas) and atmospheric pressure plasmas (e.g., dielectric barrier devices, piezoelectric plasmas). It critically examines key operational parameters such as reduced electric field, pressure, discharge type, gas type and flow rate, substrate temperature, gap, and how these variables affect the properties of the synthesized or modified polymers. This review also discusses the application of cold plasma in polymer surface modification, underscoring how changes in surface properties (e.g., wettability, adhesion, biocompatibility) can be achieved by controlling various surface processes (etching, roughening, crosslinking, functionalization, crystallinity). A detailed examination of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) reveals its efficacy in producing thin polymeric films from an array of precursors. Yasuda’s models, Rapid Step-Growth Polymerization (RSGP) and Competitive Ablation Polymerization (CAP), are explained as fundamental mechanisms underpinning plasma-assisted deposition and polymerization processes. Then, the wide array of applications of cold plasma technology is explored, from the biomedical field, where it is used in creating smart drug delivery systems and biodegradable polymer implants, to its role in enhancing the performance of membrane-based filtration systems crucial for water purification, gas separation, and energy production. It investigates the potential for improving the properties of bioplastics and the exciting prospects for developing self-healing materials using this technology.

description: An autoreactive T cell clone derived from a patient with reactive arthritis, two alloreactive T cell lines, two antigen-specific T cell lines and allogeneic resting T cells were analyzed for their responses to monocytes and macrophages derived from monocytes by in vitro differentiation. The autoreactive T cell clone strongly proliferated in response to fresh monocytes and to macrophages derived from a 7 day culture, but only poorly to monocytes cultured for 2 days. In contrast, alloreactive and antigen-specific T cell lines proliferated to all stimulatory cells equally well. Finally, primary mixed lymphocyte reactions could be stimulated by both fresh and 2-day cultured monocytes, but not by in vitro derived macrophages. The impaired response of the autoreactive T cell clone to 2-day cultured monocytes could not be attributed to reduced expression of several well-defined surface molecules nor to induction of nonresponsiveness. Neither allogeneic monocytes nor cytokines (IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6) could correct the defective response of the autoreactive T cell clone. However, preculture of monocytes in the presence of interferon-gamma, IL-1, IL-4 or IL-6 retained their stimulatory capacity. Our interpretation of the selectively impaired response of the autoreactive T cell clone is that it most likely recognizes a differentiation-dependent monocyte/macrophage-specific peptide.

description: Strategic uncertainty is the uncertainty that players face with respect to the purposeful behavior of other players in an interactive decision situation. Our paper develops a new method for measuring strategic-uncertainty attitudes and distinguishing them from risk and ambiguity attitudes. We vary the source of uncertainty (whether strategic or not) across conditions in a ceteris paribus manner. We elicit certainty equivalents of participating in two strategic 2x2 games (a stag-hunt and a market-entry game) as well as certainty equivalents of related lotteries that yield the same possible payoffs with exogenously given probabilities (risk) and lotteries with unknown probabilities (ambiguity). We provide a structural model of uncertainty attitudes that allows us to measure a preference for or an aversion against the source of uncertainty, as well as optimism or pessimism regarding the desired outcome. We document systematic attitudes towards strategic uncertainty that vary across contexts. Under strategic complementarity [substitutability], the majority of participants tend to be pessimistic [optimistic] regarding the desired outcome. However, preferences for the source of uncertainty are distributed around zero.

description: We construct a ultraviolet completion of the bosonic sector of 11-dimensional supergravity motivated by string field theory. We start from a general class of theories characterized by an entire nonpolynomial form factor which allows one to avoid new poles in the propagator and improves the high-energy behavior of the loops amplitudes. Comparing these models with effective string field theory, a unique form factor is selected out. In view of this, we modify 10-dimensional supergravity and finally get a ultraviolet completion of 11-dimensional supergravity by an oxidation process. The result is a candidate for a finite and unitary particle-field limit of M-theory.

description: Cells of the macrophage lineage are a major source of various cytokines and hematopoietic growth factors. With regard to the growth factors acting on cells of their own lineage, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) has been proven to be secreted by monocytes (MO) and macrophages (MAC), whereas the production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by human MO/MAC is under debate. Here we report that in elutriation-purified MO, as well as in MAC derived from cultured MO, GM-CSF m-RNA was regularly induced by LPS. In MO the GM-CSF message was still detectable 18 h after stimulation under serum-free conditions, but in contrast was already lost at this time point in MAC. Secreted GM-CSF protein was detected in the culture medium using a sandwich ELISA. Furthermore, a factor-dependent cell line (M-07) was used for a biological assay. Here, a neutralizing anti GM-CSF antibody specifically blocked the proliferation-inducing activity of MO/MAC supernatants. Whereas only small amounts of GM-CSF were detected in MO, its secretion increased severalfold upon MO-to-MAC differentiation in vitro. A similar increase upon in vitro maturation of MO was observed for the production of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The highest amounts of GM-CSF (up to 2.8 ng/10(6) cells) were produced by MAC that had been derived from MO cultured under serum-free conditions in the presence of 0.5 mg/ml albumin as the only medium supplement.

description: Macrophages (MAC) are important effector cells of the immune system. They arise from circulating blood monocytes (MO), which undergo further maturation upon leaving the vasculature and migrating into the various tissues and body cavities. A similar differentiation process can be followed in vitro when monocytes are cultured in the presence of serum. In this study, different factors and serum proteins, either alone or in combination, were tested for their ability to promote the survival and/or maturation of blood MO in the absence of serum. Elutriation-purified MO cultured for 8 days on hydrophobic teflon foils in the presence of 5% human serum differentiated into large, well-spread MAC, whereas in the absence of serum, MO rapidly died. The serum-induced maturation of MAC was accompanied by a strong expression of CD16, CD14 and MAX antigens. Secretion of TNF-alpha and neopterin increased about 10-fold as compared with freshly isolated MO. The replacement of serum by either M-CSF (100 ng/ml) or immunoglobulin (0.5-5 mg/ml) had a marked effect on MO survival (about 50% of serum-cultured MO), but cells were smaller, less spread out and had low expression of CD16, CD14 and MAX antigens. Their functional competence in terms of TNF-alpha and neopterin release was reduced to 10-20% as compared with MAC cultured in the presence of serum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

description: The aim of this paper is to present a general algebraic formulation for the Decoherence-Free Subspaces (DFSs). For this purpose, we initially generalize some results of Pauli and Artin about semisimple algebras. Then we derive orthogonality theorems for algebras analogous to finite groups. In order to build the DFSs we consider the tensor product of Clifford algebras and left minimal ideals. Furthermore, we show that standard applications of group theory in quantum chemistry can be obtained in our formalism. Advantages and some perspectives are also discussed.

A quantitative study of directional constructions in Matukar Panau

description: The Oceanic language Matukar Panau has three equivalent morphosyntactic strategies for describing the direction of the event represented by a verb, with a system of ten directional morphemes that can appear in each construction. This variation is explored using a corpus from Matukar Panau and analysed quantitatively with recursive partitioning, logistic regression and multinomial Bayesian regression analyses to assess what factors influence the choice of directional construction. Variables pertaining to the lexical verb and the directional morphemes are found to be the most important factors affecting the variation in the directional system. Sociolinguistic factors are shown to play a less significant role. The findings have implications for the grammaticalization of directional elements, as well as the typology of directional constructions in Oceanic languages.
