Notch in Pericytes: Receptor Function and Targets
Creators: name: Bigit, Bianca
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Angiogenesis is the process by which pre-existing blood vessels sprout to from new ones. Mural cell recruitment to the capillary endothelium is essential for the stabilization of a newly forming vascular bed during angiogenesis and is tightly regulated. Notch signaling is a pathway that regulates vessel function and pericyte recruitment. Pericyte dysfunction has been identified to play a role in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and arteriovenous malformations. Yet, the molecular control of pericyte function is not fully understood. Endothelial cell Notch signaling has been well characterized, while pericyte Notch signaling is less understood. It has been shown that Notch1 and Notch3 receptors are present in pericytes, yet the downstream control of either receptor of their targets is unclear. Here, we explored the function of pericyte Notch1 in vivo. We found that removal of Notch1 in pericytes did not affect angiogenesis, but it resulted arterial diameter increase in postnatal day (P) 14 mice. Increased arterial diameter was not present at 6 weeks old, suggesting that pericyte Notch1 is not a critical regulator of arterial diameter. We also examined downstream two target genes of Notch signaling in order to characterize their role in pericyte function: Matrix Metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) and Plexin Domain Containing-1 (PLXDC1). MMP14 plays a role in vasculature remodeling, however its role in pericytes remains unknown. We found that vessel density of P14 mouse peripheral capillaries was significantly increased in mice lacking perivascular MMP14. Additionally, the diameter of arteries at the center of the retina was significantly decreased, suggesting that pericyte MMP14 plays a role in regulating angiogenesis and arterial diameter. We also performed in vitro studies to evaluate PLXDC1, a recently identified target of Notch signaling in pericytes. PLXDC1 removal from human brain vascular pericytes showed no changes in migration, viability or apoptosis; however, we observed significantly increased invasion through a three-dimensional matrix. These results suggest that PLXDC1 plays a role in pericyte invasion.
title: Gestural Ethics: Consequences of the Mark in Contemporary Painting
Creators: name: Chilver, John
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2005

description: The thesis considers what the difference is between generating an appearance by making something and generating it by thinking it (including naming it). By considering phenomenologies of agency in a variety of contexts, the argument questions the presumption that judgment determines the appearance. Judgment, understood as a disembodied, punctal decision-making is seen to be of little value for doing or understanding painting. Thus the (art-) theoretical acceptance of a distinction between 'craft' and 'judgment' is found to be misleading. The claim is then that painting constructs its domain of embodied thought through the gesture, and not through a disembodied act of judgment. The mark is, however, what allows painting to be commodified with a vengeance: individuated gesture as branded signature. Given the interwoven contexts of production and reception, however, - where agency resides then becomes hard to determine. The thesis takes this up this problem through a reading of Hegel's Master and Servant dialectic. The outcome is that the commodity form can neither be side-stepped nor straightforwardly assaulted; a discussion of Haim Steinbach's work is central. The proposal at this point is that artworks nonetheless retain their power according to the kinds of series they articulate; here various concepts of seriality are considered including Badiou's. It is then argued that the mark is best modelled through Derrida's notion of the trace. Barnett Newman's paintings are then re-considered through the lens of the trace, and vice versa. The argument here is that the critical gesture is the gesture that adequates itself to the trace. The painted mark is interrogated in these terms through close readings of works by Duchamp, Reed, Jorn and Brown among others. However, the limits of the Derridean vision are reached in thinking colour. For colour exceeds the logic of the mark insofar as the latter is a logic of inscription.

Embodied Approximation of the Density Classification Problem via Morphological Adaptation
Creators: name: Jones, Jeff
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Emerging Technologies (cs.ET)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The Majority (or Density Classification) Problem in Cellular Automata (CA) aims to converge a string of cells to a final homogeneous state which reflects the majority of states present in the initial configuration. The problem is challenging in CA as individual cells only possess information about their own and local neighbour states. The problem is an exercise in the propagation and processing of information within a distributed computational medium. We explore whether the Majority Problem can be approximated in a similarly simple distributed computing substrate - a multi-agent model of slime mould. An initial pattern of discrete voting choices is represented by spatial arrangement of the agent population, temporarily held in-place by an attractant stimulus. When this stimulus is removed the model adapts its shape and size, moving to form a minimal distance connecting line. The final position of this line is shown, in simple examples, to successfully represent the majority vote decision, and also accurately reflects the size of the majority. We note properties, limitations and potential improvements to the approach before returning full-circle by re-encoding this morphological adaptation approach in a simple (and more space efficient) 1D CA model.

description: Levitated nanodiamonds containing nitrogen vacancy centres in high vacuum are a potential test bed for numerous phenomena in fundamental physics. However, experiments so far have been limited to low vacuum due to heating arising from optical absorption of the trapping laser. We show that milling pure diamond creates nanodiamonds that do not heat up as the optical intensity is raised above 700 GW/m$^2$ below 5 mbar of pressure. This advance now means that the level of attainable vacuum for nanodiamonds in optical dipole traps is no longer temperature limited.
Surgery for partially hyperbolic dynamical systems I. Blow-ups of invariant submanifolds
Creators: name: Gogolev, Andrey
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We suggest a method to construct new examples of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We begin with a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f\colon M\to M$ which leaves invariant a submanifold $N\subset M$. We assume that $N$ is an Anosov submanifold for $f$, that is, the restriction $f|_N$ is an Anosov diffeomorphism and the center distribution is transverse to $TN\subset TM$. By replacing each point in $N$ with the projective space (real or complex) of lines normal to $N$ we obtain the blow-up $\hat M$. Replacing $M$ with $\hat M$ amounts to a surgery on the neighborhood of $N$ which alters the topology of the manifold. The diffeomorphism $f$ induces a canonical diffeomorphism $\hat f\colon \hat M\to \hat M$. We prove that under certain assumptions on the local dynamics of $f$ at $N$ the diffeomorphism $\hat f$ is also partially hyperbolic. We also present some modifications such as the connected sum construction which allows to "paste together" two partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms to obtain a new one. Finally, we present several examples to which our results apply.

Deformation and Strain Energy Anomalies in Bistable and Nonlocal Mechanical Metamaterials
Creators: name: Danso, Larry Appiah
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Mechanical metamaterials are materials with preconceived elastic properties like negative Poisson’s ratio, negative compressibility, negative stiffness, etc. that cannot be achieved by natural materials. In recent times, this class of metamaterials have garnered significant research interest due to the interesting functionalities and applications attainable when such materials are used in composites, intelligent structures and resilient systems. Bistable structures exhibit snap-through displacement behavior that counter deficiencies like fatigue and slow response time found in active materials which makes them relevant for designing actuators, sensors, soft robots, deployable structures etc. Nonlocal periodic lattices may possess bandgaps in their deformation decay spectrum that allow for complete blockage of Raleigh modes of deformation and the ability to reprogram deformation patterns due to the reverse Saint Venant edge effect. This thesis presents a detailed study on the design and analysis of bistable elastic structures that showcase linear contraction on application of a tensile load and nonlocal lattice material that possess the ability to divert maximal strain energies induced by an applied point load or indentation force thereby shielding integrity of material’s interior. The unusual elastic properties of these structures and materials signify that their deformation mechanisms could be programmed to possess functionalities such as stress and strain alleviation, vibration control, strain energy storage that are unrealistic with natural materials.

description: We study asymptotically Lifshitz solutions with critical exponent $z \neq 1$ in Horava gravity in three and four spacetime dimensions. For $z=2$ and $z=3/2$, we find a novel class of numerical solutions with regular universal horizon, but are characterized by non-analytic behavior near infinity. In the interior, inside the universal horizon, the unit timelike vector field associated with the preferred time foliation exhibits oscillatory behavior, qualitatively similar to that found earlier in asymptotically flat solutions. For $z>2$ no solutions of this type appear to exist. We comment on potential applications to holographic Lifshitz dualities.

description: We report a novel technique for launching broadband laser light into liquid-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). It uniquely offers self-alignment and self-stabilization via optomechanical trapping of a fused silica nanospike, fabricated by thermally tapering and chemically etching a single mode fiber into a tip diameter of 350 nm. We show that a trapping laser, delivering ~300 mW at 1064 nm, can be used to optically align and stably maintain the nanospike at the core center. Once this is done, a broadband supercontinuum beam (~575 to 1064 nm) can be efficiently and close to achromatically launched in the HC-PCF. The system is robust against liquid-flow in either direction inside the HC-PCF and the Fresnel back-reflections are reduced to negligible levels compared to free-space launching or butt-coupling. The results are of potential relevance for any application where the efficient delivery of broadband light into liquid-core waveguides is desired.

description: This paper studies the two-way butterfly network, a class of two-way four-unicast networks. We first show that bidirectional links do not increase the degrees of freedom for this network thus giving the first example for networks, to the best of our knowledge, where bidirectional links do not increase the degrees of freedom. Further, we see that sufficient caching at the relays or increasing the number of antennas in the relays can double the two-way degrees of freedom for butterfly network.

description: I present the results of three studies that utilize numerical methods to explore the link between the internal geophysical state of icy solar system bodies and their exteriors. The first study explores the emplacement of the chaotic mountain block ranges found along the eastern rim of Pluto’s Sputnik Planitia basin, and finds that the mountains could have been emplaced by basal sliding lubricated by solid nitrogen on a geologically short timescale. The second study is focused on the enigmatic “cantaloupe terrain” of Neptune’s moon Triton. I test the compositional diapir hypothesis described by Schenk and Jackson (1993) using modern numerical simulation techniques. I find that a compositionally layered crust would behave in a more complex manner than the geometrically and rheologically simple diapir model. The third study develops a method for understanding the interior structure of a planetary body from observations of its spatially variable gravitational field. I present a forward-modeling C++ code that utilizes genetic algorithms and a simplified potential field generation model to bypass the assumptions required for the traditional inverse modeling approach.

A Framework for Robotic Grasping and Handover With an Underactuated Three-Fingered Hand

Year: 2020

description: Implementing robotic grasp on the Baxter robot without using the default parallel gripper but instead a three fingered underactuated hand. The problem has been solved by using a parallel gripper planner instead of reinventing the wheel for the end-effector in use. This choice allowed to obtain satisfactory results with less design effort and a faster implementation, since it is easier to take advantage of previous works. On the other hand, this approach sacrifice optimality of the grasp, but since the hand is underactuated is not suitable to emulate the human behavior. Moreover, also the handover problem was tackled. We not only wanted to achieve a smooth handover but also pay care to object's safety during the task. In this case we used an optical sensor from a mouse to monitor the object acceleration during the handover. The acceleration feedback is used to re-establish the grasp in those cases where the object was falling too fast.

description: In this paper we systematically evaluate the variation in the reversal delay of a nanomagnet driven by a longitudinal spin current while under the influence of thermal noise. We then use the results to evaluate the performance of an All-Spin-Logic (ASL) circuit. First, we review and expand on the physics of previously-published analytical models on stochastic nanomagnet switching. The limits of previously established models are defined and it is shown that these models are valid for nanomagnet reversal times < 200 ps. Second, the insight obtained from previous models allows us to represent the probability density function (PDF) of the nanomagnet switching delay using the double exponential function of the Frechet distribution. The PDF of a single nanomagnet is extended to more complex nanomagnet circuit configurations. It is shown that the delay-variation penalty incurred by nanomagnets arranged in parallel configuration is dwarfed by the average delay increase for nanomagnets arranged in a series configuration. Finally, we demonstrate the impact of device-level performance variation on the circuit behavior using ASL logic gates. While the analysis presented in this paper uses an ASL-AND gate as the prototype switching circuit in the spin domain, the physical concepts are generic and can be extended to any complex spin-based circuit.

description: The objective of my thesis was to design, model, control, and experimentally study low-cost autonomous drone which can fly indoors along with onboard computation and line tracking system for educational purpose. The proposed system is expected to guide the drone to follow a track on the ground smoothly without using any GPS signals. The main aim was to design and implement a nonlinear, path following system which should involve a low-cost/low-power platform, should be simple to use, safe and easy to implement with minimal need of prerequisites. The closed-loop system is designed to make the system more stable and track the path smoothly as compared to the manual drones. Adding to the advantages, the autonomous mechanism converts the under-actuated quad-copter into an over-actuated robot which provides us with full control of the state-space. Also, the research has been done to create dynamics of quadcopter and implement it in the mechanism so as to achieve the target, stability and make the quad-copter immune to any external noise. Also implemented a line detection algorithm that is capable of detecting the average position and orientation of the lines captured by a down-facing camera interfaced to the drone. The design of the altitude control algorithm using four down-ward facing ultrasonic sensors is created to provide extra stability and hovering mechanism to the quadcopter and prevent the drone from drifting and to reduce the drifting issues.

description: Studying information diffusion and the spread of goods in the real world and in many digital services can be extremely difficult since information about the information flows is challenging to accurately track. How information spreads has commonly been analysed from the perspective of homophily, social influence, and initial seed selection. However, in virtual worlds and virtual economies, the movements of information and goods can be precisely tracked. Therefore, these environments create laboratories for the accurate study of information diffusion characteristics that have been difficult to study in prior research. In this paper, we study how content visibility as well as sender and receiver characteristics, the relationship between them, and the types of multilayer social network layers affect content absorption and diffusion in virtual world. The results show that prior visibility of distributed content is the strongest predictor of content adoption and its further spread across networks. Among other analysed factors, the mechanics of diffusion, content quality, and content adoption by users neighbours on the social activity layer had very strong influences on the adoption of new content.

description: Regulation of electronic structure and mobility cut-on rate in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has attracted much attention because of its potential in electronic device design. The anisotropic Raman scattering and mobility cut-on rate of monolayer unique distorted-1T(1Td) ReS2 with external strain are determined theoretically based on the density function theory. The angle-dependent Raman spectrum of Ag-like, Eg-like and Cp models are used to discriminate and analysis structural anisotropy; the strain is exploited to adjust the structural symmetry and electronic structure of ReS2 so as to enhance mobility cut-on rate to almost 6 times of the original value. Our results suggest the use of the strain engineering in high-quality semiconductor switch device.

description: In this paper we explore relaxations of (Williams) coherent and convex conditional previsions that form the families of $n$-coherent and $n$-convex conditional previsions, at the varying of $n$. We investigate which such previsions are the most general one may reasonably consider, suggesting (centered) $2$-convex or, if positive homogeneity and conjugacy is needed, $2$-coherent lower previsions. Basic properties of these previsions are studied. In particular, we prove that they satisfy the Generalized Bayes Rule and always have a $2$-convex or, respectively, $2$-coherent natural extension. The role of these extensions is analogous to that of the natural extension for coherent lower previsions. On the contrary, $n$-convex and $n$-coherent previsions with $n\geq 3$ either are convex or coherent themselves or have no extension of the same type on large enough sets. Among the uncertainty concepts that can be modelled by $2$-convexity, we discuss generalizations of capacities and niveloids to a conditional framework and show that the well-known risk measure Value-at-Risk only guarantees to be centered $2$-convex. In the final part, we determine the rationality requirements of $2$-convexity and $2$-coherence from a desirability perspective, emphasising how they weaken those of (Williams) coherence.

description: In this dissertation, we developed a zwitterionic materials platform to integrated all desired properties and easily adapted these materials for a broad range of applicaions. Firstly, a pH-responsive zwitterionic material was synthesized with charge-swichability, controllable surface property, buffering ability at acid condition and chelating capability with multi-valent metal ions, which can be potentially used for wound healing applications. Secondly, a zwitterionic polyurethane platform with tunable bulk and surface properties were developed. These zwitterionic polyurethanes demonstrated excellent properties to resist protein adsorption, mammalian cells attachment and biofilm formation, which can be a promising material for implantable biomedical devices.

description: NGC 2548 is a 400-500 Myr old open cluster with evidence of spatial substructures likely caused by its interaction with the Galactic disk. In this work we use precise astrometric data from the Carte du Ciel - San Fernando (CdC-SF) catalogue to study the clumpy structure in this cluster. We confirm the fragmented structure of NGC 2548 but, additionally, the relatively high precision of our kinematic data lead us to the first detection of substructures in the proper motion space of a stellar cluster. There are three spatially separated cores each of which has its own counterpart in the proper motion distribution. The two main cores lie nearly parallel to the Galactic plane whereas the third one is significantly fainter than the others and it moves toward the Galactic plane separating from the rest of the cluster. We derive core positions and proper motions, as well as the stars belonging to each core.

Structured Knowledge Discovery from Massive Text Corpus

description: Nowadays, with the booming development of the Internet, people benefit from its convenience due to its open and sharing nature. A large volume of natural language texts is being generated by users in various forms, such as search queries, documents, and social media posts. As the unstructured text corpus is usually noisy and messy, it becomes imperative to correctly identify and accurately annotate structured information in order to obtain meaningful insights or better understand unstructured texts. On the other hand, the existing structured information, which embodies our knowledge such as entity or concept relations, often suffers from incompleteness or quality-related issues. Given a gigantic collection of texts which offers rich semantic information, it is also important to harness the massiveness of the unannotated text corpus to expand and refine existing structured knowledge with fewer annotation efforts. In this dissertation, I will introduce principles, models, and algorithms for effective structured knowledge discovery from the massive text corpus. We are generally interested in obtaining insights and better understanding unstructured texts with the help of structured annotations or by structure-aware modeling. Also, given the existing structured knowledge, we are interested in expanding its scale and improving its quality harnessing the massiveness of the text corpus. In particular, four problems are studied in this dissertation: Structured Intent Detection for Natural Language Understanding, Structure-aware Natural Language Modeling, Generative Structured Knowledge Expansion, and Synonym Refinement on Structured Knowledge

Sparse Bayesian Inference and the Temperature Structure of the Solar Corona

description: Measuring the temperature structure of the solar atmosphere is critical to understanding how it is heated to high temperatures. Unfortunately, the temperature of the upper atmosphere cannot be observed directly, but must be inferred from spectrally resolved observations of individual emission lines that span a wide range of temperatures. Such observations are "inverted" to determine the distribution of plasma temperatures along the line of sight. This inversion is ill-posed and, in the absence of regularization, tends to produce wildly oscillatory solutions. We introduce the application of sparse Bayesian inference to the problem of inferring the temperature structure of the solar corona. Within a Bayesian framework a preference for solutions that utilize a minimum number of basis functions can be encoded into the prior and many ad hoc assumptions can be avoided. We demonstrate the efficacy of the Bayesian approach by considering a test library of 40 assumed temperature distributions.

description: This survey paper is a structured concise summary of four of our recent papers on the stochastic regularity of diffusions that are associated to regular strongly local (but not necessarily symmetric) Dirichlet forms. Here by stochastic regularity we mean the question whether a diffusion associated to a Dirichlet form as mentioned above can be started and identified as a solution to an explicit stochastic differential equation for explicitly given starting points. Beyond the stochastic regularity, we consider its applications to strong existence and pathwise uniqueness of singular stochastic differential equations.
