description: We discuss the relational strategy to solve the problem of time in quantum gravity and different ways in which it could be implemented, pointing out in particular the fundamentally new dimension that the problem takes in a quantum gravity context in which spacetime and geometry are understood as emergent. We realize concretely the relational strategy we have advocated in the context of the tensorial group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, leading to the extraction of an effective relational cosmological dynamics from quantum geometric models. We analyze in detail the emergent cosmological dynamics, highlighting the improvements over previous work, the contribution of the quantum properties of the relational clock to it, and the interplay between the conditions ensuring a bona fide relational dynamics throughout the cosmological evolution and the existence of a quantum bounce resolving the classical big bang singularity.

description: We study the phase synchronization of Kuramoto's oscillators in small parts of networks known as motifs. We first report on the system dynamics for the case of a scale-free network and show the existence of a non-trivial critical point. We compute the probability that network motifs synchronize, and find that the fitness for synchronization correlates well with motif's interconnectedness and structural complexity. Possible implications for present debates about network evolution in biological and other systems are discussed.

description: Flavor violating processes in the lepton sector have highly suppressed branching ratios in the standard model mainly due to the tiny neutrino mass. This means that observing lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the next round of experiments would constitute a clear indication of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). We revisit a discussion of one possible way to search for LFV, muonium-antimuonium oscillations. This process violates muon lepton number by two units and could be sensitive to the types of BSM physics that are not probed by other types of LFV processes. Using techniques of effective field theory, we calculate the mass and width differences of the mass eigenstates of muonium. We argue that its invisible decays give the parametrically leading contribution to the lifetime difference and put constraints on the scales of new physics probed by effective operators in muonium oscillations.

description: In this work, we study underlay radar-massive MIMO cellular coexistence in LoS/near-LoS channels, where both systems have 3D beamforming capabilities. Using mathematical tools from stochastic geometry, we derive an upper bound on the average interference power at the radar due to the 3D massive MIMO cellular downlink under the worst-case `cell-edge beamforming' conditions. To overcome the technical challenges imposed by asymmetric and arbitrarily large cells, we devise a novel construction in which each Poisson Voronoi (PV) cell is bounded by its circumcircle to bound the effect of the random cell shapes on average interference. Since this model is intractable for further analysis due to the correlation between adjacent PV cells' shapes and sizes, we propose a tractable nominal interference model, where we model each PV cell as a circular disk with an area equal to the average area of the typical cell. We quantify the gap in the average interference power between these two models and show that the upper bound is tight for realistic deployment parameters. We also compare them with a more practical but intractable MU-MIMO scheduling model to show that our worst-case interference models show the same trends and do not deviate significantly from realistic scheduler models. Under the nominal interference model, we characterize the interference distribution using the dominant interferer approximation by deriving the equi-interference contour expression when the typical receiver uses 3D beamforming. Finally, we use tractable expressions for the interference distribution to characterize radar's spatial probability of false alarm/detection in a quasi-static target tracking scenario. Our results reveal useful trends in the average interference as a function of the deployment parameters (BS density, exclusion zone radius, antenna height, transmit power of each BS, etc.).

description: Superconducting single-flux-quantum (SFQ) circuits have so far been developed and optimized for operation at or above helium temperatures. The SFQ approach, however, should also provide potentially viable and scalable control and read-out circuits for Josephson-junction qubits and other applications with much lower, milli-kelvin, operating temperatures. This paper analyzes the overheating problem which becomes important in this new temperature range. We suggest a thermal model of the SFQ circuits at sub-kelvin temperatures and present experimental results on overheating of electrons and silicon substrate which support this model. The model establishes quantitative limitations on the dissipated power both for "local" electron overheating in resistors and "global" overheating due to ballistic phonon propagation along the substrate. Possible changes in the thermal design of SFQ circuits in view of the overheating problem are also discussed.

The asymptotic quasinormal mode spectrum of non-rotating black holes

Year: 2003

description: A conjectured connection to quantum gravity has led to a renewed interest in highly damped black hole quasinormal modes (QNMs). In this paper we present simple derivations (based on the WKB approximation) of conditions that determine the asymptotic QNMs for both Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. This confirms recent results obtained by Motl and Neitzke, but our analysis fills several gaps left by their discussion. We study the Reissner-Nordstrom results in some detail, and show that, in contrast to the asymptotic QNMs of a Schwarzschild black hole, the Reissner-Nordstrom QNMs are typically not periodic in the imaginary part of the frequency. This leads to the charged black hole having peculiar properties which complicate an interpretation of the results.

description: Contracts are an integral part of the production and marketing of selected livestock commodities, such as broilers, turkeys, eggs, and milk. Such crops as fruit, vegetables, and sugar beets and cane are mostly produced under contracts. In the past, farm receipts were assumed to be distributed across all farm families in proportion to their production. Today, contractors receive a large share of farm receipts, formerly assumed to go to the operator's family. Contractors typically bear a large share of production and price risk, and earn the majority of net income from the commodity's production. Farmers may benefit by being able to expand their operations more rapidly than otherwise possible--perhaps with less debt and fewer financial risks.

A novel staggered semi-implicit space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

description: A new high order accurate staggered semi-implicit space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is presented for the simulation of viscous incompressible flows on unstructured triangular grids in two space dimensions. The staggered DG scheme defines the discrete pressure on the primal triangular mesh, while the discrete velocity is defined on a staggered edge-based dual quadrilateral mesh. In this paper, a new pair of equal-order-interpolation velocity-pressure finite elements is proposed. On the primary triangular mesh (the pressure elements) the basis functions are piecewise polynomials of degree $N$ and are allowed to jump on the boundaries of each triangle. On the dual mesh instead (the velocity elements), the basis functions consist in the union of piecewise polynomials of degree $N$ on the two subtriangles that compose each quadrilateral and are allowed to jump only on the dual element boundaries, while they are continuous inside. In other words, the basis functions on the dual mesh are built by continuous finite elements on the subtriangles. This choice allows the construction of an efficient, quadrature-free and memory saving algorithm. In our coupled space-time pressure correction formulation for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, arbitrary high order of accuracy in time is achieved through the use of time-dependent test and basis functions, in combination with simple and efficient Picard iterations. Several numerical tests on classical benchmarks confirm that the proposed method outperforms existing staggered semi-implicit space-time DG schemes, not only from a computer memory point of view, but also concerning the computational time.

description: XMM-Newton and Chandra/HETG spectra of the Compton-thin (NH 4x10^{23} cm^{-2}) Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 4507, are analyzed and discussed. The main results are: a) the soft X-ray emission is rich in emission lines; an (at least) two--zone photoionization region is required to explain the large range of ionization states. b) The 6.4 keV iron line is likely emitted from Compton-thick matter, implying the presence of two circumnuclear cold regions, one Compton-thick (the emitter), one Compton-thin (the cold absorber). c) Evidence of an Fe xxv absorption line is found in the Chandra/HETG spectrum. The column density of the ionized absorber is estimated to be a few x10^{22} cm^{-2}.

Novel pathways in fatty-acid induced apoptosis in the pancreatic beta-cell
Creators: name: Jeffrey, Kristin Danielle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Pancreatic β-cell death is a critical event in the pathogenesis of all forms of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the combination of acquired factors such as elevated circulating fatty acids as well as genetic factors. In this study, we show that the free fatty acid palmitate increases markers of endoplasmic stress and apoptosis in pancreatic β-cells. Carboxypeptidase E (CPE), an enzyme involved in the processing of insulin, was identified as the major down-regulated protein spot during palmitate-induced apoptosis using Cy-dye 2D gel proteomics in both the MIN6 β-cell line and human islets. Using MIN6 cells treated with 1.5 mM palmitate complexed to BSA (6:1), a significant decrease in total carboxypeptidase E protein was confirmed through Western blots. The decrease in CPE was seen in the presence of palmitate at both low and high glucose and was not affected in high glucose alone or with the ER-stress inducer, thapsigargin. Palmitate-induced changes in carboxypeptidase E were present after 2 hours, while CHOP, a marker of ER-stress, was not expressed until after 6 hours of incubation, suggesting that the decrease in CPE occurs before ER-stress. This finding, together with experiments using protein synthesis inhibitors and RT-PCR suggested that CPE was likely regulated at the post-translational level. Treatment with the non-metabolizable palmitate, 2-bromopalmitate, did not decrease CPE expression and delayed β-cell death. Addition of the L-type Ca2 + channel blocker nifedipine to palmitate-treated MIN6 cells restored CPE protein levels, reduced ER-stress, and rescued β-cells from cell death. The calpain inhibitor E64D also reversed the palmitate-induced decrease in CPE, further implicating Ca2+-dependent proteolysis pathways. This inhibitor however increased ERstress on its own and did not prevent ER-stress or β-cell death induced by palmitate. Interestingly, islets from CPE mutant mice exhibited increased TUNEL labeling, suggesting elevated apoptosis in vivo. Isolated CPE-deficient islets demonstrated increased CHOP and cleaved caspase-3 levels compared to control mice. The effects of palmitate on ER-stress and apoptosis were not additive to those of CPE deficiency. On the other hand, β-cells over-expressing CPE were resistant to palmitate-induced ERstress and apoptosis. Together, these results show that palmitate markedly lowers CPE protein in the cell in a Ca2+-dependent manner, potentially through Ca2+-dependent proteases, such as the calpains. In addition, a lack of CPE appears to increase the susceptibility of the β-cell to CHOP induction and apoptosis. Conversely, overexpression of CPE protects β-cells from ER-stress and apoptosis induced by palmitate. These findings suggest that CPE represents a novel link between hyperlipidemia and β-cell death in diabetes.

description: The unprecedented increase in the usage of computer vision technology in society goes hand in hand with an increased concern in data privacy. In many real-world scenarios like people tracking or action recognition, it is important to be able to process the data while taking careful consideration in protecting people's identity. We propose and develop CIAGAN, a model for image and video anonymization based on conditional generative adversarial networks. Our model is able to remove the identifying characteristics of faces and bodies while producing high-quality images and videos that can be used for any computer vision task, such as detection or tracking. Unlike previous methods, we have full control over the de-identification (anonymization) procedure, ensuring both anonymization as well as diversity. We compare our method to several baselines and achieve state-of-the-art results.

We identify the stoichiometric Na1CoO2 phase, which is shown to be a non-magnetic insulator, as expected for homogeneous planes of Co3+ ions with S=0. In addition, we present evidence that, because of slight average Na deficiency, chemical and electronic phase separation leads to a segregation of Na vacancies into the well-defined, magnetic, Na0.8CoO2 phase. The importance of phase separation is discussed in the context of magnetic order for x~0.8 and the occurrence of a metal-insulator transition for x->1.

description: Genetic learning algorithms are widely used to control ultrafast optical pulse shapes for photo-induced quantum control of atoms and molecules. An unresolved issue is how to use the solutions found by these algorithms to learn about the system's quantum dynamics. We propose a simple method based on covariance analysis of the control space, which can reveal the degrees of freedom in the effective control Hamiltonian. We have applied this technique to stimulated Raman scattering in liquid methanol. A simple model of two-mode stimulated Raman scattering is consistent with the results.

A simple individual-based population growth model with limited resources

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: We address a novel approach for stochastic individual-based modelling of a single species population. Individuals are distinguished by their remaining lifetimes, which are regulated by the interplay between the inexorable running of time and the individual's nourishment history. A food-limited environment induces intraspecific competition and henceforth the carrying capacity of the medium may be finite, often emulating the qualitative features of logistic growth. Inherently non-logistic behavior is also obtained by suitable change of the few parameters involved, composing a wide variety of dynamical features. Some analytical results are obtained. Beyond the rich phenomenology observed, we expect that possible modifications of our model may account for an even broader scope of collective population growth phenomena.

title: 'Men of good Character, strong, decent and active': Hertfordshire's Petty Constables, 1730-1799
Creators: name: Saunders, Elaine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis provides the first detailed historical analysis of eighteenth century rural petty constables, through a study of their operation in Hertfordshire from 1730 to 1799. Every Hertfordshire parish appointed at least one unsalaried, part-time constable annually to act on behalf of, and within, that parish. Constables were representatives of higher authority, authority figures within their communities, and mediators between the two. This thesis contextualises constables within Hertfordshire’s overlapping administrative, judicial and personal networks, and shows that the boundaries between personal and official authority were often blurred. It presents considerable new research on constables’ work, social status, funding and the importance of Hertfordshire’s manorial courts in appointing constables throughout the eighteenth century. Discussions of constables’ roles in arrests, detecting crimes, peacekeeping and crime prevention illuminate the substructures of eighteenth-century judicial administration and augment existing histories of crime and prosecution. This thesis also examines vagrancy administration uniquely from the constable’s viewpoint and shows how Hertfordshire’s constables exercised considerable discretion when arresting, transporting and relieving travellers on the county’s roads. Constables' essential roles in county and parish governance, pauper administration and community management are also considered. Instead of examining constables in isolation, this study shows that they were one of several local officers whose responsibilities and specialist skills dovetailed in local governance, including the making and implementation of social policies. Constables are thus repositioned as key figures in Hertfordshire’s local government institutions, and shown to be higher status, harder working, less reluctant, better connected and more effective than previously allowed.

Ο ρόλος της ταξινόμησης αποτελεί το βασικό στοιχείο της εργασίας αφού μέσω αυτής, πόλεις που βρίσκονται σε χαμηλή κατάταξη θα μπορέσουν να βελτιωθούν και να συνεργαστούν, ενώ οι πρωτοπόροι θα αποκτήσουν ένα ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα προσέλκυσης επενδυτών, τουριστών, εξειδικευμένου εργατικού δυναμικού και παρουσία στα διεθνή δρώμενα και γεγονότα.
 Συγκεκριμένα στο 1ο κεφάλαιο γίνεται αναφορά στους πολυάριθμους ορισμούς που έχουν διατυπωθεί σε αυτά τα χρόνια και στη δομή της παρούσας διπλωματικής. Στο 2ο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται οι διαφορετικές προσεγγίσεις που έχουν γίνει από αρκετούς ερευνητές για την επιλογή των κατάλληλων δεικτών και της κατάταξης των πόλεων σε μια ενιαία κλίμακα. Στο κεφάλαιο 3 και 4 παρουσιάζεται η επιλογή του πλαισίου που σχεδιάστηκε και τα αποτελέσματα από την έρευνα. Από τις 17 πόλεις που μελετήθηκαν πάνω σε 52 δείκτες που εντάσσονται σε 6 πυλώνες, την πρωτιά κατέχει η Σιγκαπούρη με την Κοπεγχάγη και το Ντουμπάι να βρίσκονται στην 2η και 3η θέση του πίνακα. Τέλος στο 5ο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τα συμπεράσματα και προεκτάσεις για μελλοντικές έρευνες.
Investigating consumers' use of product recommendation agents: understanding the influence of product type and in-store context
Creators: name: Lee, Young Eun

description: Product Recommendation Agents (RAs) are web-based software systems that advise consumers about what to buy based on the needs expressed by those consumers. Most research on RAs has focused on evaluating the different algorithms that generate recommendations, while the effectiveness of RAs is determined by many factors beyond design of algorithms. This dissertation focuses on two important but understudied factors, namely, the influences of product type and in-store context. These factors were investigated in two separate laboratory experiments: Study 1 and Study 2. Study 1 examined the influence products with high emotional contents on consumers' use of RAs. Such products are characterized by attribute conflicts which involve the correlation of the favourable values of some attributes with the unfavourable values of others. Two RAs - one that highlights attribute conflicts and one that presents them implicitly - were developed and compared. The experiment results show that the RA highlighting attribute conflicts negatively influences consumers' perceptions and acceptance of RAs, as compared to the RA obscuring the conflicts. In addition, task emotionality - the degree to which a decision task is perceived to bring severe negative consequences - moderates such relationships. Study 2 examined the influence of in-store contexts on consumers' use of RAs. The in-store context has become important with the advent of mobile RAs operated on handheld devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants. In the in-store context, compatibility between the way the store displays the products and the way RAs guides consumers' decision making is an important predictor of decision performance. Two RAs which guide consumers' decisions in two different manners - alternative-driven and attribute-driven ways - were contrasted. Due to a limit to displaying complex products sorted by every attribute on product shelves, products are displayed randomly by alternative in a store. Therefore, the alternative-driven RA is more compatible with the store's product displays than attribute-driven RA. The experiment results show that compatibility increases both accuracy of decisions and perceived control. In addition, mobile RA use, as compared to RA non-use, decreases consumers' perceived effort and increases their intentions to return to the store.
title: Nephrotic Syndrome and Glomerular Basement Membrane: Genetic Defect of the Laminin α5 Chain
Creators: name: Falcone, Sara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: Nephrotic syndrome is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by renal and extra-renal manifestations. Classic symptoms of nephrotic syndrome include severe proteinuria, hypoalbumiaemia, oedema and hyperlipidaemia.

 Genetic studies of hereditary forms of nephrotic syndrome have led to the identification of proteins playing a crucial role in slit diaphragm signalling, regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-matrix interactions.

 The laminin α5 chain is a 404 kDa protein essential for embryonic development and, in association with laminin β2 and laminin γ1, it is a major component of the glomerular basement membrane. Mutations in LAMB2 are associated with Pierson’s syndrome and mutations in LAMA5 have recently been identified in paediatric patients affected by nephrotic syndrome.

 As part of the MRC Harwell Ageing Screen, a large-scale ENU mutagenesis screen, a novel missense mutation (E884G) was identified in the gene Lama5. Homozygous mice showed a nephrotic phenotype including a severe proteinuria that preceded histological and ultrastructural changes. Further investigation using in vitro studies, extensive proteomics analysis and investigation of integrin activation, revealed a possible impact of the causative mutation on protein folding. Data suggest that changes in protein structure lead to a reduced secretion, integrin β1 activation, and agrin expression ultimately resulting in possible instability of the podocyte actin cytoskeleton.

description: Recent USDA surveys point out several shortcomings in children's diets. The share of calories from total and saturated fat averaged 4 and 3 percentage points above the recommendations. The sodium intake averaged 23 percent above the 2,400 milligrams recommended by some authorities. These dietary problems start early in childhood and continue into adulthood. Additionally, only a small fraction of female adolescents met the recommended intakes for calcium, fiber, and iron. Compared with home foods, away-from-home foods were higher in total and saturated fat and lower in cholesterol, fiber, calcium, iron, and sodium. With increasing popularity in dining out, efforts to improve children's diets may need strengthening.

description: In the mixture of ultracold spin-1 atoms of two different species A and B (e.g., $^{23}$Na (A) and $^{87}$Rb (B)), inter-species singlet-pairing process ${\rm A}_{+1}+{\rm B}_{-1}\rightleftharpoons {\rm A}_{-1}+{\rm B}_{+1}$, can be induced by the spin-dependent inter-atomic interaction, where subscript $\pm 1$ denotes the magnetic quantum number. Nevertheless, one cannot isolate this process from other spin-changing processes by tuning the bias real magnetic field. As a result, so far the singlet-pairing process have not been clearly observed in the experiments, and the measurement of the corresponding interaction strength becomes difficult. In this work we propose to control the singlet-pairing process via combining the real magnetic field and a laser-induced species-dependent synthetic magnetic field. With our approach one can significantly enhance this process and simultaneously supperess all other spin-changing processes. We illustrate our approach for both a confined two-atom system and a binary mixture of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. Our control scheme is helpful for the precise measurement of the weakly singlet-pairing interaction strength and the entanglement generation of two different atoms.

description: The ratio of the curvaton energy density to that of the dominant component of the background sources may be constant during a significant period in the evolution of the Universe. The possibility of having tracking curvatons, whose decay occurs prior to the nucleosynthesis epoch, is studied. It is argued that the tracking curvaton dynamics is disfavoured since the value of the curvature perturbations prior to curvaton decay is smaller than the value required by observations. It is also argued, in a related context, that the minimal inflationary curvature scale compatible with the curvaton paradigm may be lowered in the case of low-scale quintessential inflation.

Stability of Helical Vortex Structures Shed from Flexible Rotors

description: The presented investigation is motivated by the need to uncover connections between underlying rotor fluid-structure interactions and vortex dynamics to fatigue performance and characterization of flexible rotor blades, their hub, and their supporting superstructure. Towards this effort, temporal stability characteristics of tip vortices shed from flexible rotor blades are investigated numerically. An aeroelastic free-vortex wake method is employed to simulate the helical tip vortices and the associated velocity field. A linear eigenvalue stability analysis is employed to quantify stability trends (growth rate v. perturbation wavenumber) and growth-rate temporal evolution of tip vortices. Simulations of a canonical rotor with rigid blades and its generation of tip vortices are first conducted to validate the stability analysis employed herein. Next, a stationary wind turbine is emulated using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 5MW reference wind turbine base design to investigate the impact rotor aeroelasticity has on tip vortex stability evolution in time. Blade flexibility is shown to reduce the sensitivity of tip vortex destabilization to low wavenumber perturbations, also blade-pitch reduces growth-rate magnitude and alters the growth-rate peak dependence on perturbation wavenumber, all of which have in the past not been reported in the rotorcraft literature. The current investigation aims to develop insight into rotorcraft tip vortex kinematics and stability to work towards quantifying fatigue loading and its effects, minimizing adverse blade-vortex interaction effects, such as excessive noise emission and large blade vibrations also affecting fatigue performance.

We call quantum Lie algebra to this extension and we obtain its Hopf algebra structure and its dual Hopf algebra. Differential geometry of the quantum Lie algebra of the extended quantum plane and its Hopf algebra structure is obtained. Its dual Hopf algebra is also given.
