An iterative inversion of weighted Radon transforms along hyperplanes
Creators: name: Goncharov, F
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose iterative inversion algorithms for weighted Radon transforms $R_W$ along hyperplanes in $R^3$. More precisely, expandingthe weight $W = W (x, θ), x \in R^3 , θ\in S^2$ , into the series of spherical harmonics in $θ$ and assuming that the zero order term $w_{0,0}(x)$ is not zero at any $x \in R^3$ , we reduce the inversion of $R_W$ to solving a linear integral equation. In addition, under the assumption that the even part of $W$ in $θ$ (i.e., $1/2(W (x, θ) + W (x, -θ))$) is close to $w_{0,0}$, the aforementioned linear integral equation can be solved by the method of successive approximations. Approximate inversions of $R_W$ are also given. Our results can be considered as an extension to 3D of two-dimensional results of Kunyansky (1992), Novikov (2014), Guillement, Novikov (2014). In our studies we are motivated, in particular, by problems of emission tomographies in 3D. In addition, we generalize our results to the case of dimension $n > 3$.

description: This thesis is mainly focused on the preparation of low-dimensional optical materials and fabrication of high performance optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, optical waveguides and optical modulators. There are three main sub-projects. In the first project, photodetectors based on lateral transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) heterostructure were fabricated and increased photoresponsivity and work area compared with previous work have been demonstrated. In the second project, highly flexible and durable photodetectors based on hybrid material consisting of carbon nanotube film and perovskite quantum dots were fabricated. In the third project, single-crystalline perovskite was restructured into active waveguides with low propagation loss and waveguide modulator with large light intensity modulation.

description: In this research, fluidized bed reactor with an on-line waste water monitoring system is used for desalting graphite oxide (GO). The process efficiency in terms of the desalting time, amount of water used for desalting, amount of GO lost and the cost of production of GO are determined. Desalination process is constantly monitored by change in pH due to removal of acidic ions. The desalting time per gram of graphite oxide was reduced by more than 100 times thus reducing the GO production cost.

description: Gravitational-wave black-hole spectroscopy provides a unique opportunity to test the strong-field regime of gravity and the nature of the final object formed in the aftermath of a merger. Here we investigate the prospects for black-hole spectroscopy with third-generation gravitational-wave detectors, in particular the Einstein Telescope in different configurations, possibly in combination with Cosmic Explorer. Using a state-of-the-art population model for stellar-origin binary black holes informed by LIGO Virgo-KAGRA data, we compute the average number of expected events for precision black-hole spectroscopy using a Fisher-matrix analysis. We perform our analysis on the dominant mode (2, 2, 0) and a set of subdominant modes [(3, 3, 0), (2, 1, 0), (4, 4, 0)] using amplitude and phase fits corresponding to the aligned spin configurations. We find that Einstein Telescope will measure two independent quasinormal modes within O(1)% (resp. O(10)%) relative uncertainty for at least O(1) (resp. O(500)) events per year, with similar performances in the case of a single triangular configuration or two L-shaped detectors with same arm length. A 15-km arm-length configuration would improve rates by roughly a factor of two relative to a 10-km arm-length configuration. When operating in synergy with Cosmic Explorer the rates will improve significantly, reaching few-percent accuracy for O(100) events per year.

description: To know effects of elevated ozone (eO3) response to beech (Fagus crenata) and oak (Quercus mongolica var. crispula) saplings, focusing on shoot elongation and leaf nutrient characteristics, beech and oak were grown in a free-air ozone-enrichment system (concentration: 35 ppb (aO3) vs. 75 ppb (eO3)) for two years under different soils (volcanic ash soil vs. brown forest soil). This treatment resulted in lower O3 tolerance in beech than in oak. The ratio of 2nd shoot flush showed a characteristic response to eO3 fumigation in beech and oak. For beech, the ratio was less than 0.5, while for oak, it ranged between 0.4 and 0.6. There was no difference in the photosynthetic rate of oak, although the photosynthetic rate of beech was slightly lower under elevated O3. Principal component analysis provided a good summary of the traits of beech and oak in response to O3 enrichment and soil combination, with O3-enriched beech characterized by higher Ca and lower N, P, K and Amax in the 1st component and lower Mg and Mn in the 2nd component. O3 -treated oak in O3-enriched brown forest soils was characterized by high N, P, K and Amax, while the influence of the 2nd component was small. Increased soil acidification will increase soil Mn and Al concentrations and may reduce the photosynthetic activity of beech saplings in eO3.

description: In this article we propose and test a novel explanation for the segregation of wom-en in less rewarding fields of study in tertiary education that focuses on the lack of knowledge of the profitability of different fields, a mechanism that has arguably received limited attention in previous research. We frame this explanation in the context of research that emphasizes the role of gender-stereotypical curricular preferences and occupational plans for gender differences across fields, and we argue that school counseling can play a crucial role in either reinforcing or counter-ing these mechanisms by providing students with transparent information about returns to educational investments. To test this hypothesis we carried out a field experiment which confronted a random sample of over 9000 Italian high school seniors with detailed information concerning the profitability of fields of study and the vocational alternatives to college. Contrary to the claim that girls are less ca-reer-oriented than boys, we found that the former were much more reactive to this information initiative. Indeed, this intervention substantially improved the occupa-tional prospects of the girls by reducing their overrepresentation in weak fields and by enhancing their participation in vocational HE as an alternative to leaving the educational system after high school graduation. These findings support the hy-pothesis that information barriers fuel gender inequality in educational choices and suggest that light-touch, cost-effective counseling interventions that provide all students with the same information can have significant gender-equalizing effects.

Anisotropic field ionization in nano-clusters mediated by Brunel-electron driven plasma waves

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Ionization is one of the most fundamental processes in intense laser-matter interaction. It is extremely efficient for clusters in laser fields and often leads to surprisingly high charge states at moderate laser intensities. Here we reveal a novel ionization mechanism in laser-cluster interaction through particle-in-cell simulations. As the laser field ionizes a cluster, Brunel electrons pushed back into the clustered plasma form an attosecond bunches, impulsively exciting plasma oscillation. The resulting localized wake field further ionizes the cluster, causing a highly ionized rod-like core along the polarization axis. This anisotropic ionization is prominent using few-cycle pulses and may be washed out using longer pulses due to collisional ionization. This newly identified ionization channel can potentially provide complicated site-specific control of ionization in nanometer-scale targets.

The Challenge of a Global Sociological Imagination
Creators: name: Caselli, Marco
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: Many sociologists suggested that – due to globalization processes – we must go beyond methodological nationalism in studying societies. But how is this possible? We still miss a convincing answer. In order to find it, we need a “global sociological imagination”. C.W. Mills wrote that sociological imagination is “the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society”. Starting from this, global sociological imagination should be the vivid awareness of the relationships between personal experience, local dynamics, multi-local dynamics, global dynamics and processes. Going further, sociology studies (social) facts but, contrary to popular belief, facts don’t speak for themselves. So, we need sociological imagination, and now global sociological imagination, in order to understand these facts. We also know that sociology is looking for good answers but, before this, sociology needs good questions. So, we need global sociological imagination also to find good questions about our global society.

Regional measures of lung function in the β-ENaC cystic fibrosis mouse model obtained using four-dimensional X-ray velocimetry : An image-based pulmonary function test for localising and quantifying disease
Creators: name: Stahr, Charlene Shia Ying

description: This thesis provides an overview of the relevance of lung mechanics to lung function, with particular context to cystic fibrosis lung disease, and presents an implementation of a 4-dimensional in vivo image-based method to measure regional lung motion as an indicator of lung disease.

 In this study β-ENaC transgenic mice and littermate controls were employed as a model for cystic fibrosis lung disease. Four-dimensional particle image velocimetry was applied to synchrotron tomographic reconstructions of live, mechanically ventilated subjects to measure regional lung tissue motion, and determine regional ventilation throughout breathing. Regional airflow was calculated by associating the regional ventilation measurements to an airway tree extracted from the CT reconstruction. Regional lung function was classified using the expiratory time constant of the regional airflow.

 The assessment yielded maps of lung function at high spatial and temporal resolution across the entire lung during breathing. The study successfully demonstrated the quantification of lung disease heterogeneity, identifying airway obstruction, and regions of bimodal airway resistance. The regional measures were more sensitive in detecting functional deficits in the β-ENaC transgenic mice compared to global measures, relative to littermate controls.

 This thesis demonstrates the ability of regional lung function derived from in vivo lung imaging as an effective tool to assess obstructive diseases of the lung, such as cystic fibrosis. It showed that image- based calculation of regional lung function allows the quantification and localisation of cystic fibrosis-like lung disease, which are not currently available using global lung function tests such as spirometry.

We use HST/ACS images of galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS) to identify clumps within a 20 kpc radius. We find that the population of galaxies with more than one clump is dominated by galaxies with two clumps, representing $\sim21-25$\% of the population, while the fraction of galaxies with 3, or 4 and more, clumps is 8-11 and 7-9\%, respectively. The fraction of clumpy galaxies is in the range $\sim35-55\%$ over $2

description: We consider a class of (ill-posed) optimal control problems in which a distributed vector-valued control is enforced to pointwise take values in a finite set $\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^m$. After convex relaxation, one obtains a well-posed optimization problem, which still promotes control values in $\mathcal{M}$. We state the corresponding well-posedness and stability analysis and exemplify the results for two specific cases of quite general interest, optimal control of the Bloch equation and optimal control of an elastic deformation. We finally formulate a semismooth Newton method to numerically solve a regularized version of the optimal control problem and illustrate the behavior of the approach for our example cases.

description: Physiological characteristics of trees in the alpine treeline are critical for assessing the vulnerability of alpine forest ecosystems, but differences in water relations between co-existing deciduous and evergreen trees remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the photosynthetic and water use characteristics of two deciduous broad-leaved (Sorbus matsumurana and Betula ermanii) and two evergreen coniferous (Abies mariesii and Pinus pumila) tree species at the treeline – i.e. the line connecting the highest patches of forest composed of trees at least three meters high – of Mt. Norikura in central Japan, to explore the physiological adaptations of trees to alpine environments. We monitored diurnal changes in leaf gas exchange rates and leaf and soil water potentials in each tree species during the growing season, as well as bulk leaf water relations based on pressure – volume curves and whole-tree hydraulic structures. The four species under study relied on different physiological characteristics at both leaf and plant levels for adaptation to their natural habitat. For maintaining water in leaves, S. matsumurana showed higher water use efficiency (WUE; the ratio of photosynthesis to transpiration) and osmotic adjustment. In contrast, B. ermanii showed lower WUE, while maintaining higher soil-to-leaf hydraulic conductivity with less stomatal control. In turn, A. mariesii showed higher WUE and leaf succulence. Meanwhile, P. pumila showed lower WUE but compensated for water loss through higher leaf hydraulic capacitance and tissue elasticity. Our observations demonstrate that tree species rely on specific physiological characteristics to adapt to the alpine treeline environment.

We reveal the strong nonadiabatic effect when the dot energy level approaches to zero in order to achieve a geometric phase $π/4$ which is required for a full exchange between the MZMs. Rather than the strategies of nonuniformly manipulating the system according to adiabatic condition and shortcuts-to-adiabaticity, we propose and illustrate a more feasible scheme to suppress the nonadiabatic transition, meanwhile which allows for a full exchange between the Majorana modes.

description: Cosmic strings are a well-motivated extension to the standard cosmological model and could induce a subdominant component in the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), in addition to the standard inflationary component. The detection of strings, while observationally challenging, would provide a direct probe of physics at very high energy scales. We develop a new framework for cosmic string inference, constructing a Bayesian analysis in wavelet space where the string-induced CMB component has distinct statistical properties to the standard inflationary component. Our wavelet-Bayesian framework provides a principled approach to compute the posterior distribution of the string tension $Gμ$ and the Bayesian evidence ratio comparing the string model to the standard inflationary model. Furthermore, we present a technique to recover an estimate of any string-induced CMB map embedded in observational data. Using Planck-like simulations we demonstrate the application of our framework and evaluate its performance. The method is sensitive to $Gμ\sim 5 \times 10^{-7}$ for Nambu-Goto string simulations that include an integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) contribution only and do not include any recombination effects, before any parameters of the analysis are optimised. The sensitivity of the method compares favourably with other techniques applied to the same simulations.

description: Adjuvants are substances which generate potent and long lasting immune responses and are an essential component of modern vaccines. The thesis examined the effects of nanoparticle surface texture on their adjuvant capacity and biodistribution. Surface texture was found to influence the adjuvant capacity of nanoparticles via the activation of dendritic cells as key cellular targets which initiate and regulate immunity. The synthesised nanoparticles were biocompatible and could target the lymphatics whose function is to help fight infection. The findings are of interest to engineers and immunologists for the development of new vaccines to treat diseases.

description: Triple-crossover randomized controlled intervention trial to test whether reduced exposure to household NO2 or fine particles results in reduced symptoms among children with persistent asthma. Children (n = 126) aged 5–11 years with persistent asthma living in homes with gas stoves and levels of NO2 15 ppb or greater recruited in Connecticut and Massachusetts (2015–2019) participated in an intervention involving three air cleaners configured for: (1) NO2 reduction: sham particle filtration and real NO2 scrubbing; (2) particle filtration: HEPA filter and sham NO2 scrubbing; (3) control: sham particle filtration and sham NO2 scrubbing. Air cleaners were randomly assigned for 5-week treatment periods using a three-arm crossover design. Outcome was number of asthma symptom-days during final 14 days of treatment. Treatment effects were assessed using repeated measures, linear mixed models. Measured NO2 was lower (by 4 ppb, p < .0001) for NO2-reducing compared to control or particle-reducing treatments. NO2-reducing treatment did not reduce asthma morbidity compared to control. In analysis controlling for measured NO2, there were 1.8 (95% CI −0.3 to 3.9, p = .10) fewer symptom days out of 14 in the particle-reducing treatment compared to control. It remains unknown if using an air cleaner alone can achieve levels of NO2 reduction large enough to observe reductions in asthma symptoms. We observed that in small, urban homes with gas stoves, modest reductions in asthma symptoms occurred using air cleaners that remove fine particles. An intervention targeting exposures to both NO2 and fine particles is complicated and further research is warranted. NCT02258893.

description: Environment-induced localization transitions (LT) occur when a small quantum system interacts with a bath of harmonic oscillators. At equilibrium, LTs are accompanied by an entropy change, signaling the loss of coherence. Despite extensive efforts, equilibrium LTs have yet to be observed. Here, we demonstrate that ongoing experiments on double quantum dots that measure entropy using a nearby quantum point contact (QPC) realize the celebrated spin-boson model and allow to measure the entropy change of its LT. We find a Kosterlitz-Thouless flow diagram, leading to a universal jump in the spin-bath interaction, reflected in a discontinuity in the zero temperature QPC conductance.

description: Strange axial-vector kaons, $K_1$, and $f_1$ meson resonances are investigated in the 4-flavor AdS/QCD model. Their underlying differential configurational entropy is computed and the mass spectra of higher-excited resonances, in both these mesonic families, are achieved and discussed. This technique merges the 4-flavor AdS/QCD and experimental data regarding the mass spectrum of $K_1$ and $f_1$ meson resonances that have been already detected and reported in the Particle Data Group, also bringing forth a route to explore physical features of the next generation of resonances in the $K_1$ and $f_1$ meson families.

Converting Digital Capital in Five Key Life Realms

description: This article theorizes fresh connections between Bourdieusian social theory, and the digital divide in five key areas: political, economic, cultural, social, and personal digital advantage. In so doing it makes new arguments about how digital resources result in benefits that accrue from the combination of both access to and use of ICTs. In this way, the findings shed additional light on the third level of the digital divide by focusing on the role played by digital capital in influencing the uneven distribution of benefits that derive from the use of the Internet. Based on a structured sample of the UK population, the article adopts the model of digital capital developed by Ragnedda, Ruiu and Addeo (2019). Findings show that varied levels of digital capital are related to engagement in activities that have political, social, economic, cultural, and personal valence. Thus, the study offers compelling evidence of the increasing importance of digital capital in everyday life.

Heat transfer and solids mixing in slugging gas fluidised beds
Creators: name: Thiel, William James
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Three different models for the mixing of solids in a slugging gas fluidised bed are proposed; one model is an extension of the already established bubbling bed model, the other two models represent the dispersion of solids in the bed by perfectly mixed regions, the analysis is rather similar to that developed for perfectly mixed tanks in series. The models are tested with experimental results of the axial solids mixing in 5.1, 10.2 and 21.8 cm. diameter slugging beds. The solids mixing was measured by studying the axial trnsport of heat through the slugging fluidised bed. Values of the slug properties in the bed (slug rise velocity, slug length, interslug spacing and slug frequency) are also required to test the models and these properties were measured in the slugging bed simultaneously with the axial solids muixing. A number of different solids have been used to form the slugging bed, since the models predict that the volume specific heat of the solids is an important parameter affecting the axial thermal conductivity of the bed.

description: We provide general adaptive upper bounds for estimating nonparametric functionals based on second order U-statistics arising from finite dimensional approximation of the infinite dimensional models. We then provide examples of functionals for which the theory produces rate optimally matching adaptive upper and lower bounds. Our results are automatically adaptive in both parametric and nonparametric regimes of estimation and are automatically adaptive and semiparametric efficient in the regime of parametric convergence rate.

description: Milk must have a desirable chemical composition and must be of satisfactory hygienic quality. Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein, occurring as whey protein in milk secretions of mammals. It shows a variety of antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiviral properties. The presence of iron in the environment is essential for bacterial growth. Lactoferrin binds to iron to make it out-of-reach for the bacteria this mechanism can destroy the bacteria. The antibacterial property of lactoferrin makes it suitable for potential exploitation in a variety of food applications. Since the importance of natural antimicrobial is increasing in demand, the present study was designed to extract lactoferrin from whole camel milk so as to use it as a natural preservative of whole milk before processing. Microfiltration, ammonium sulphate precipitation, and protein dialysis technology was used for the extraction of lactoferrin. Whole camel milk produced 0.93 mg/ml of lactoferrin, this result showed that the purification by dialysis technology was moderately good for the recovery of lactoferrin. The lactoferrin was further characterized through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The quantification of camel lactoferrin was done using Bradford Assay. The antibacterial property of camel milk lactoferrin in whole milk was evaluated by the application of Total bacterial count. The evaluated whole milk with the addition of lactoferrin as a natural antimicrobial stayed for 8h at a storage temperature of 30°C with a total bacterial load of 5.36log cfu/ml. the inhibition effect of camel lactoferrin against pathogenic milk bacteria E. coli and Salmonella typhi. was evaluated by the application of disc diffusion method. The different concentration of lactoferrin inhibited both pathogenic microbes, with increased lactoferrin concentration. The results showed that higher concentration of camel lactoferrin had an increased inhibition zone of 28 mm and 19 mm for both E. coli and Salmonella typhi. respectively. The lactoferrin extracted from camel milk exhibited promising antibacterial activity against E. coli and Salmonella typhi.

description: In this research, we investigate the long-term eﬀects of job displacement on several dimensions of job quality and satisfaction, focusing only on individuals who lose their job because of plant closure. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel data from 1984 to 2012, we build a database containing 2,396 individuals who have lost their job because of plant closure. Our control group is created by ﬁnding workers who have similar characteristics to the displaced workers before their displacement. The matching method that we use is a coarsened exact matching on pre-treatment covariates and pre-treatment outcomes. We then compare the evolution of job quality in both groups to measure the causal impact of displacement. Our main ﬁndings indicate a large and long-lasting impact of displacement on employment probability. The eﬀects of displacement on earnings and hourly wages last until three or four years. As for job security, displaced workers report to be more likely to lose their job again. Indicators of quality of the working environment (working full time, long hours, distance to work), are all aﬀected by displacement in the long run except the probability of working full time. These results are robust when we focus on individuals who do not experience a signiﬁcant period out of employment.
An investigation of the quality of life of caregivers of children with disabilities

description: Raising children with disabilities can be a difficult task. Each unique child comes with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some disabilities have a phenotype of behaviors and abilities that can add to these challenges. Some of these include externalizing behaviors, a type of behavior that has a negative impact outside of just the child. In this quantitative study of 258 caregivers of children with disabilities, quality of life (QOL) was investigated in relation to a child’s disability type and level of externalizing behavior. It was hypothesized that certain disability types would negatively impact QOL as would the presence of externalizing behaviors. A factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the main effects of child disability type and externalizing behavior on parent/caregiver QOL. Results indicated there was a significant effect of disability type on physical health and a significant effect of externalizing behavior on psychological, social, and environmental health as well as overall QOL. There were no interaction effects of the independent variables on caregiver QOL.
