description: We present observations of seven transits and seven eclipses of the transiting planet system HD 189733 taken with Spitzer IRAC at 8 microns. We use a new correction for the detector ramp variation with a double-exponential function. Our main findings are: (1) an upper limit on the variability of the day-side planet flux of 2.7% (68% confidence); (2) the most precise set of transit times measured for a transiting planet, with an average accuracy of 3 seconds; (3) a lack of transit-timing variations, excluding the presence of second planets in this system above 20% of the mass of Mars in low-order mean-motion resonance at 95% confidence; (4) a confirmation of the planet's phase variation, finding the night side is 64% as bright as the day side, as well as an upper limit on the night-side variability of 17% (68% confidence); (5) a better correction for stellar variability at 8 micron causing the phase function to peak 3.5 hrs before secondary eclipse, confirming that the advection and radiation timescales are comparable at the 8 micron photosphere; (6) variation in the depth of transit, which possibly implies variations in the surface brightness of the portion of the star occulted by the planet, posing a fundamental limit on non-simultaneous multi-wavelength transit absorption measurements of planet atmospheres; (7) a measurement of the infrared limb-darkening of the star, in agreement with stellar atmosphere models; (8) an offset in the times of secondary eclipse of 69 sec, which is mostly accounted for by a 31 sec light travel time delay and 33 sec delay due to the shift of ingress and egress by the planet hot spot; this confirms that the phase variation is due to an offset hot spot on the planet; (9) a retraction of the claimed eccentricity of this system due to the offset of secondary eclipse; and (10) high precision measurements of the parameters of this system.

description: Report Preface: Farmer Cooperative Service made this study in response to the need for current basic intelligence about farmer cooperatives’ equity redemption policies and practices. In addition to providing information about the status of cooperatives’ equity redemption programs, the study discusses various criteria that cooperatives may use in making decisions about such programs. The report seeks to answer such basic questions as: 1. To what extent are cooperatives using equity redemption programs? 2. How valid are commonly cited constraints inhibiting or influencing a redemption program? 3. Is there a rationale for an equity redemption program that accommodates the divergent capital needs of members and their cooperatives?

description: The gamma background flux below 3000 keV in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy, has been measured using a 3" diameter NaI(Tl) detector at different underground positions: In hall A, hall B, the interferometer tunnel, and inside the Large Volume Detector (LVD). The integrated flux is 0.3--0.4 s$^{-1}$cm$^{-2}$ at the first three locations, and is lower by two orders of magnitude inside LVD. With the help of Monte Carlo simulations for every location, the contribution of the individual primordial isotopes to the background has been determined. Using an 11" diameter NaI(Tl) detector, the background neutron flux in the LNGS interferometer tunnel has been estimated. Within the uncertainties, the result agrees with those from other neutron measurements in the main halls.

description: The physical mechanisms behind the reduction of the bulk modulus of a high-pressure cubic TiO2 phase are confirmed by first-principles calculations. An unusual and abrupt change occurs in the dependence of energy on pressure at 43 GPa, indicating a pressure-induced phase transition from columbite TiO2 to a newly-identified modified fluorite TiO2 with a Pca21 symmetry. Oxygen atom displacement in Pca21 TiO2 unexpectedly reduces the bulk modulus by 34% relative to fluorite TiO2. This discovering provides a direct evidence for understanding the compressive properties of such groups of homologous materials

description: Low-temperature thermal conductivity and thermopower of multiwalled carbon nanotubes considered within a bundle of nanotubes are calculated taking into account multiple scattering of electrons on the atoms of impurities (like single carbon atoms) and short-range order regions arising due to a some distribution of the impurities. The calculations are realized on a base of the temperature diagrammatic Feynman techniques and the results of our research are in a good quantitative and qualitative agreement with the corresponding experimental data for multiwalled carbon nanotubes with diameter less or equal 10 nm at T<50K.

description: This design project shows a pulse oximeter based on an stm32wb microcontroller with Bluetooth using the MAX 30100 and HC-05 modules. Accurate sensor data was sent through the link to a laptop computer, which was able to display the plethysmographic, or "Pleth", trace waveform, oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) data. The results mimicked those that would have been received with a hospital wired pulse oximeter, including waveforms and data accuracy. This allows free movement of patients within their room and floor, alleviating the discomfort of their hospital stay while providing health monitoring.
Highly Excited Core Resonances in Photoionization of Fe XVII : Implications for Plasma Opacities

description: A comprehensive study of high-accuracy photoionization cross sections is carried out using the relativistic Breit-Pauli R-matrix (BPRM) method for (hnu + Fe XVII --> Fe XVIII + e). Owing to its importance in high-temperature plasmas the calculations cover a large energy range, particularly the myriad photoexciation-of-core (PEC) resonances including the n = 3 levels not heretofore considered. The calculations employ a close coupling wave function expansion of 60 levels of the core ion Fe XVIII ranging over a wide energy range of nearly 900 eV between the n = 2 and n = 3 levels. Strong coupling effects due to dipole transition arrays 2p^5 --> 2p^4 (3s,3d) manifest themselves as large PEC resonances throughout this range, and enhance the effective photoionization cross sections orders of magnitude above the background. Comparisons with the erstwhile Opacity Project (OP) and other previous calculations shows that the currently available cross sections considerably underestimate the bound-free cross sections. A level-identification scheme is used for spectroscopic designation of the 454 bound fine structure levels of Fe XVII. Level-specific photoionization cross sections are computed for all levels. In addition, partial cross sections for leaving the core ion Fe XVII in the ground state are also obtained. These results should be relevant to modeling of astrophysical and laboratory plasma sources requiring (i) photoionization rates, (ii) extensive non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium models, (iii) total unified electron-ion recombination rates including radiative and dielectronic recombination, and (iv) plasma opacities. We particularly examine PEC and non-PEC resonance strengths and emphasize their expanded role to incorporate inner-shell excitations for improved opacities, as shown by the computed monochromatic opacity of Fe XVII.

description: Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are commonly used to prevent recurring epileptic seizures, but around a third of people with epilepsy fail to achieve an adequate response. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is clinically recommended for people with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) who are not suitable for surgery, but the cost-effectiveness of the intervention has not recently been evaluated. The study objective is to estimate costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with using VNS as an adjunct to ongoing ASM therapy, compared to the strategy of using only ASMs in the treatment of people with DRE, from an English National Health Service perspective. A cohort state transition model was developed in Microsoft Excel® to model costs and QALYs of the VNS + ASM and ASM only strategies. Patients could transition between five health states, using a 3-month cycle length. Health states were defined by an expected percentage reduction in seizure frequency, derived from randomised control trial data. Costs included the VNS device as well as its installation, setup, and removal; ASM therapy; adverse events associated with VNS (dyspnoea, hoarseness and cough); and health-state costs associated with epilepsy including hospitalizations, emergency department visits, neurologist visits and primary care visits. A range of sensitivity analyses, including probabilistic sensitivity analysis, were run to assess the impact of parameter and structural uncertainty. In the base case, VNS + ASM had an estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of £17,771 per QALY gained compared to ASMs alone. The cost-effective ICER was driven by relative reductions in expected seizure frequency and the differences in health care resource use associated therewith. Sensitivity analyses found that the amount of resource use per epilepsy-related health state was a key driver of the cost component. VNS is expected to be a cost-effective intervention in the treatment of DRE in the English National Health Service.

description: Il presente lavoro di tesi mira ad indagare l’efficacia dell’approccio Snoezelen come risorsa e aiuto per bambini con disturbo dello spettro autistico (DSA) che presentano in comorbidità un disturbo del sonno. Il metodo, nato in Olanda negli anni ’70, viene usato come forma di comunicazione non verbale, per migliorare il rilassamento, la concentrazione e per fornire stimoli sensoriali in un approccio uno ad uno. Spesso come docenti non ci rendiamo conto che i sensi hanno un’importanza significativa nelle nostre vite: ci permettono di fare scelte, relazionarci agli altri e interagire con l’ambiente. I bambini con DSA vivono queste esperienze in modo amplificato e vanno trovate strategie per far si che possano concentrarsi su uno stimolo alla volta. Questa ricerca è stata sviluppata su un unico caso di studio con un design reversibile ABA, in modo da osservare la qualità del sonno del bambino prima, durante e dopo l’intervento Snoezelen. Quale strumento quantitativo osservativo è stato utilizzato l’Insomnia Severity Index di Charles Morin (1993) che la madre del bambino ha compilato in totale nove volte nell’arco di diciotto settimane. L’indagine sembra confermare che lo Snoezelen permette di rilassarsi ed interagire con più serenità con le persone e gli oggetti presenti nella stanza. La qualità del sonno dell’allievo è lievemente migliorata durante la fase di intervento. Relatrice: Elisa Geronimi.

description: We pick out the 35 brightest galaxies from Goto's E+A galaxies catalogue which are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5. The spectra of E+As are prominently characterized by the strong Balmer absorption lines but little [Oii] or H_alpha emission lines. In this work we study the stellar populations of the sample galaxies by fitting their spectra using ULySS, which is a robust full spectrum fitting method. We fit each of the sample with 1-population (a single stellar population-a SSP) and 3-population (3 SSPs) models, separately. By 1-population fits, we obtain SSP-equivalent ages and metallicities which correspond to the `luminosity-weighted' averages. By 3-population fits, we divide components into three groups in age (old stellar population-OSP, intermediate-age stellar population-ISP, and young stellar population-YSP), and then get the optimal age, metallicity and population fractions in both mass and light for OSP, ISP and YSP. During the fits, both Pegase.HR/Elodie3.1 and Vazdekis/Miles are used as two independent population models. The two models result in generally consistent conclusions as follows: for all the sample galaxies, YSPs (< 1Gyr) make important contributions to the light. However, the dominant contributors to mass are OSPs. We also reconstruct the smoothing star formation histories (SFHs) by giving star formation rate (SFR) versus evolutionary age. In addition, we fit the E+A sample and 34 randomly selected elliptical galaxies with 2-population (2 SSPs) model. We obtain the equivalent age of old components for each of the E+A sample and elliptical galaxies. By comparison, the old components of E+As are statistically much younger than those of ellipticals. From the standpoint of the stellar population age, this probably provides an evidence for the proposed evolutionary link from E+As to early-types (E/S0s).

description: The standard mean-field theory for the Mott insulator-superfluid phase transition is not sufficient to describe the Mott insulator-paired superfluid phase transition. Therefore, by restricting the two-species Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian to the subspace of paired particles, and using perturbation theory, here we derive an analytic mean-field expression for the Mott insulator-paired superfluid transition boundary.

description: We study the bound states of two spin-$\half$ fermions interacting via a contact attraction (characterized by a scattering length) in the singlet channel in 3D space in presence of a uniform non-Abelian gauge field. The configuration of the gauge field that generates a Rashba type spin-orbit interaction is described by three coupling parameters $(λ_x, λ_y, λ_z)$. For a generic gauge field configuration, the critical scattering length required for the formation of a bound state is {\em negative}, i.e. shifts to the "BCS side" of the resonance. Interestingly, we find that there are special high-symmetry configurations (e.g., $λ_x = λ_y = λ_z$) for which there is a two body bound state for {\em any} scattering length however small and negative. Remarkably, the bound-state wave functions obtained for such configurations have nematic spin structure similar to those found in liquid $^3$He. Our results show that the BCS-BEC crossover is drastically affected by the presence of a non-Abelian gauge field. We discuss possible experimental signatures of our findings both at high and low temperatures.

description: Traditionally, quantum entanglement has played a central role in foundational discussions of quantum mechanics. The measurement of correlations between entangled particles can exhibit results at odds with classical behavior. These discrepancies increase exponentially with the number of entangled particles. When entanglement is extended from just two quantum bits (qubits) to three, the incompatibilities between classical and quantum correlation properties can change from a violation of inequalities involving statistical averages to sign differences in deterministic observations. With the ample confirmation of quantum mechanical predictions by experiments, entanglement has evolved from a philosophical conundrum to a key resource for quantum-based technologies, like quantum cryptography and computation. In particular, maximal entanglement of more than two qubits is crucial to the implementation of quantum error correction protocols. While entanglement of up to 3, 5, and 8 qubits has been demonstrated among spins, photons, and ions, respectively, entanglement in engineered solid-state systems has been limited to two qubits. Here, we demonstrate three-qubit entanglement in a superconducting circuit, creating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states with fidelity of 88%, measured with quantum state tomography. Several entanglement witnesses show violation of bi-separable bounds by 830\pm80%. Our entangling sequence realizes the first step of basic quantum error correction, namely the encoding of a logical qubit into a manifold of GHZ-like states using a repetition code. The integration of encoding, decoding and error-correcting steps in a feedback loop will be the next milestone for quantum computing with integrated circuits.

description: Il presente lavoro di diploma verte su di una declinazione del paesaggio sonoro in senso narrativo. Come risposta alla domandi di ricerca “elaborare una narrazione sonora può migliorare la capacità di ascolto?”, presentiamo un percorso didattico, indicato per una seconda media che induca gli allievi ad apprezzare e valorizzare suoni e rumori sia presenti nell’ambiente, sia contenuti in un prodotto artistico, che dia loro gli strumenti per saperli descrivere attraverso un ascolto oggettivo o soggettivo e che li sostenga e li guidi nella costruzione di un’opera narrativo-sonora. Mostreremo dunque come creare in classe dei brevi racconti, fondamentalmente di fantasia, che possano essere narrati attraverso l’uso di suoni determinati o – principalmente – indeterminati che rappresentino acusticamente le situazioni descritte (senza dunque l'impiego diretto di parole) e che siano fruibili soltanto con l’ausilio di una breve descrizione trascritta sulla partitura relativa. I suoni o i rumori potranno essere raccolti, prodotti, registrati per poter essere utilizzati come materiale narrativo e, una volta organizzati consequenzialmente sulla partitura, vengono assemblati in tre file audio, frutto di lavoro collettivo a gruppi, da destinare ad una commissione competente esterna all’ambiente scolastico e a esperti che li utilizzino in ambito professionale. Il risultato sonoro costituisce dunque l’esplicitazione di un senso narrativo. Il percorso che condurrà a tale prodotto, attraverso l’attivazione di diverse competenze, permetterà di rilevare gli sviluppi occorsi nella capacità di ascolto degli allievi. Relatrice: Lorena Rocca. Materia: Educazione musicale.

description: Type IIn Supernovae (SNe IIn) are rare events, constituting only a few percent of all core-collapse SNe, and the current sample of well observed SNe IIn is small. Here, we study the four SNe IIn observed by the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP). The CCCP SN sample is unbiased to the extent that object selection was not influenced by target SN properties. Therefore, these events are representative of the observed population of SNe IIn. We find that a narrow P-Cygni profile in the hydrogen Balmer lines appears to be a ubiquitous feature of SNe IIn. Our light curves show a relatively long rise time (>20 days) followed by a slow decline stage (0.01 to 0.15 mag/day), and a typical V-band peak magnitude of M_V=-18.4 +/- 1.0 mag. We measure the progenitor star wind velocities (600 - 1400 km/s) for the SNe in our sample and derive pre-explosion mass loss rates (0.026 - 0.12 solar masses per year). We compile similar data for SNe IIn from the literature, and discuss our results in the context of this larger sample. Our results indicate that typical SNe IIn arise from progenitor stars that undergo LBV-like mass-loss shortly before they explode.

(2) 67 (1968)], concerning the compact embedding of a seminormed set in $L^p(0,T; \mathcal{A}_0)$, where $\mathcal{A}_0$ is a Banach space and $p \in [1,\infty]$; we establish a variant of Dubinskii's theorem, where a seminormed nonnegative cone is used instead of a seminormed set; and we explore the connections of these results with a nonlinear compact embedding theorem due to E. Maitre [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 27 (2003)].

Crystallographic exploration into the regulation of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel by its protein partners
Creators: name: Xiao, Jenny
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The human heartbeat is governed by a series of tightly controlled action potentials (APs) leading to the coordinated contractions of distinct groups of cardiac cells. Ion channel proteins are the cornerstones to this process, generating the different phases of the AP. Specifically, the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav1.5, is responsible for generating the rapid depolarization phase of the AP. The channel possesses several domains and motifs which allow for an additional layer of control via cytosolic protein partners such as calmodulin (CaM) and fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs or FGF11-14). Dysregulation of either the channel or its protein partners can give rise to life-threatening arrhythmia syndromes. The goal of this thesis is to study the effects of calmodulin mutants, specifically F141L CaM on the structure and function of Nav1.5 and explore how FGFs engage Nav1.5. ITC data showed no significant difference between WT CaM and F141L CaM binding to the Nav1.5 CTD in either the presence or absence of Ca²⁺. The ternary structure complexes of the Nav1.5 CTD, WT apo/CaM, and FGF14 and Nav1.5 CTD, F141L apo/CaM, and FGF14 were determined at a resolution of 2.20Å and 1.60Å, respectively. The F141L mutation resulted in a destabilization of a hydrophobic pocket within the C-lobe causing a conformational change of a loop within EF-hand IV of CaM. The interface between FGF14 and Nav1.5 EF-hand domain revealed the absence of two salt bridges present at the interface of FGF13U and FGF12B with the Nav1.5 EF-hand supporting the observed decreased affinity. Moreover, ITCs showed that under Ca²⁺-saturating conditions, the change in enthalpy during titrations between FGF14 and CaM-bound Nav1.5 CTD was 2-fold lower than between FGF14 and Nav1.5 CTD. This points to differences in the binding of FGF14 in the Ca²⁺-saturated condition in support of a model where the Ca²⁺/C-lobe is bound to a position that would clash with a 180 rotation of the Nav1.5 EF-hand. ITCs between FGF14 and CaM-bound Nav1.5 CTD in the apo condition demonstrated a more complex two-site binding model suggesting the presence of two conformations of the apo/CaM-Nav1.5 CTD complex with which FGF14 can interact.

description: Rennie, a research meteorologist with the North Carolina Institute of Climate Studies, discussed how scientists use time series to visualize research data over a period of time, and face difficulty communicating these results to the public due to its complexity. Rennie discussed how he used Ed Hawkins' visualization techniques (the "climate stripe") to create maps depicting annual average temperature and precipitation departures from climatology, and honed it down to state and local levels (such as counties).

description: We theoretically investigate collective phase synchronization between interacting groups of globally coupled noisy identical phase oscillators exhibiting macroscopic rhythms. Using the phase reduction method, we derive coupled collective phase equations describing the macroscopic rhythms of the groups from microscopic Langevin phase equations of the individual oscillators via nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations. For sinusoidal microscopic coupling, we determine the type of the collective phase coupling function, i.e., whether the groups exhibit in-phase or anti-phase synchronization. We show that the macroscopic rhythms can exhibit effective anti-phase synchronization even if the microscopic phase coupling between the groups is in-phase, and vice versa. Moreover, near the onset of collective oscillations, we analytically obtain the collective phase coupling function using center-manifold and phase reductions of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations.

description: We have carried out multi-epoch VLBI observations with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) of the 22~GHz H$_{2}$O masers associated with a Class 0 protostar L1448C in the Perseus molecular cloud. The maser features trace the base of collimated bipolar jet driven by one of the infrared counter parts of L1448C named as L1448C(N) or L1448-mm A. We detected possible evidences for apparent acceleration and precession of the jet according to the three-dimensional velocity structure. Based on the phase-referencing VLBI astrometry, we have successfully detected an annual parallax of the H$_{2}$O maser in L1448C to be 4.31$\pm$0.33~milliarcseconds (mas) which corresponds to a distance of 232$\pm$18~pc from the Sun. The present result is in good agreement with that of another H$_{2}$O maser source NGC~1333 SVS13A in the Perseus molecular cloud, 235~pc. It is also consistent with the photometric distance, 220~pc. Thus, the distance to the western part of the Perseus molecular cloud complex would be constrained to be about 235~pc rather than the larger value, 300~pc, previously reported.
