description: Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) is mounted on the International Space Station (ISS). Since 2009 it has been scanning the whole sky in every 92 minutes with ISS rotation. Due to high particle background at high latitude regions the carbon anodes of three GSC cameras were broken. We limit the GSC operation to low-latitude region around equator. GSC is suffering a double high background from Gamma-ray altimeter of Soyuz spacecraft. MAXI issued the 37-month catalog with 500 sources above ~0.6 mCrab in 4-10 keV. MAXI issued 133 to Astronomers Telegram and 44 to Gammaray burst Coordinated Network so far. One GSC camera had a small gas leak by a micrometeorite. Since 2013 June, the 1.4 atm Xe pressure went down to 0.6 atm in 2014 May 23. By gradually reducing the high voltage we keep using the proportional counter. SSC with X-ray CCD has detected diffuse soft X-rays in the all-sky, such as Cygnus super bubble and north polar spur, as well as it found a fast soft X-ray nova MAXI J0158-744. Although we operate CCD with charge-injection, the energy resolution is degrading. In the 4.5 years of operation MAXI discovered 6 of 12 new black holes. The long-term behaviors of these sources can be classified into two types of the outbursts, 3 Fast Rise Exponential Decay (FRED) and 3 Fast Rise and Flat Top (FRFT). The cause of types is still unknown.

description: At the intersection of two unidirectional traffic flows a stripe formation instability is known to occur. In this paper we consider coupled time evolution equations for the densities of the two flows in their intersection area. We show analytically how the instability arises from the randomness of the traffic entering the area. The Green function of the linearized equations is shown to form a Gaussian wave packet whose oscillations correspond to the stripes. Explicit formulas are obtained for various characteristic quantities in terms of the traffic density and comparison is made with the much simpler calculation on a torus and with numerical solution of the evolution equations.

description: High-salt diets may increase both hypertension and risk of cardiovascular diseases. Although high-salt diets can result in hypertension and impaired vascular function, the molecular mechanisms underlying these dysfunctions are not fully known. Thus, the aims of the present study were to identify key proteins and their signaling pathways and associated molecular mechanisms that may contribute to, as well as be potential biomarkers of, the pathogenesis of hypertension-related cardiovascular diseases. To that end, the present study identified and quantitated serum proteins that were differentially expressed in male rats fed regular chow (n = 4) and those fed a high-salt diet (n = 4) to induce hypertension. The serum was collected from both groups, and the proteins differentially expressed in the serum were identified and quantitated using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation combined with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Of 396 identified proteins, 24 were differentially expressed between the groups: 19 proteins were significantly (P < 0.05) upregulated (> 1.2 fold change), and 5 were significantly downregulated (< 0.8 fold change). Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses indicated that these differentially expressed proteins may contribute to cardiovascular diseases via the roles they play in endothelial function, vascular remodeling, the coagulation cascade, and the complement system. In addition, phagosome processes and the integrin-associated focal adhesion signaling pathway were determined to be potential underlying molecular mechanisms. The key proteins identified in this study warrant further development as new therapeutic targets or biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases associated with high-salt diet-induced hypertension.

description: The core accretion theory for giant planet formation predicts enrichment of elemental abundances in planetary envelopes caused by runaway accretion of planetesimals, which is consistent with measured super-solar abundances of C, N, P, S, Xe, and Ar in Jupiter's atmosphere. However, the abundance of O which is expected to be the most dominant constituent of planetesimals is unknown for solar system giant planets, owing to the condensation of water in their ultra-cold atmospheres, thereby posing a key unknown in solar system formation. On the other hand, hundreds of extrasolar hot Jupiters are known with very high temperatures (>~1000 K) making them excellent targets to measure H2O abundances and, hence, oxygen in their atmospheres. We constrain the atmospheric H2O abundances in three hot Jupiters (HD 189733b, HD 209458b, and WASP-12b), spanning a wide temperature range (1200-2500 K), using their near-infrared transmission spectra obtained using the HST WFC3 instrument. We report conclusive measurements of H2O in HD 189733b and HD 209458b, while that in WASP-12b is not well constrained by present data. The data allow nearly solar as well as significantly sub-solar abundances in HD 189733b and WASP-12b. However, for HD 209458b, we report the most precise H2O measurement in an exoplanet to date that suggests a ~20-135 sub-solar H2O abundance. We discuss the implications of our results on the formation conditions of hot Jupiters and on the likelihood of clouds in their atmospheres. Our results highlight the critical importance of high-precision spectra of hot Jupiters for deriving their H2O abundances.

description: Negli ultimi anni si è osservato l’incremento costante e considerevole del numero di adolescenti e di giovani adulti che si autodefinisce transgender e manifesta in modo relativamente stabile una difformità tra il sesso biologico e l’identità di genere esperita. Transgender è un termine ombrello che viene utilizzato per descrivere le persone sentono di vivere e sperimentare una identità sessuale difforme rispetto all’identità assegnata alla nascita attraverso il riconoscimento della conformazione e determinazione biologica, che non confermano le aspettative, i ruoli e gli atteggiamenti sociali legati al genere, a tal punto da spingere talvolta le stesse ad intraprendere percorsi di ridefinizione ed allineamento di genere e/o di vivere con il genere a cui sentono di appartenere, cercando di omologare il proprio vissuto e la propria espressività di genere a modelli riconosciuti culturalmente e simbolicamente dalla società mainstream. Tuttavia, si è assistito, grazie anche alla rivoluzione digitale e alle lotte dei movimenti LGBTQ+, ad un cambiamento dei modelli di genere e dei processi di normativizzazione delle identità non normative. La normatività sessuale o sexual normativity è presente in tutte le costruzioni identitarie sessuali e non hanno lo stesso posizionamento gerarchico nella società: alcune, infatti, sono più visibili e hanno più potere all’interno della società rispetto alle altre.

The influence of the magnetic field on the performance of an active magnetic regenerator (AMR)

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)

description: The influence of the time variation of the magnetic field, termed the magnetic field profile, on the performance of a magnetocaloric refrigeration device using the active magnetic regeneration (AMR) cycle is studied for a number of process parameters for both a parallel plate and packed bed regenerator using a numerical model. The cooling curve of the AMR is shown to be almost linear far from the Curie temperature of the magnetocaloric material. It is shown that a magnetic field profile that is 10% of the cycle time out of sync with the flow profile leads to a drop in both the maximum temperature span and the maximum cooling capacity of 20-40\% for both parallel plate and packed bed regenerators. The maximum cooling capacity is shown to depend very weakly on the ramp rate of the magnetic field. Reducing the temporal width of the high field portion of the magnetic field profile by 10% leads to a drop in maximum temperature span and maximum cooling capacity of 5-20%. An increase of the magnetic field from 1 T to 1.5 T increases the maximum cooling capacity by 30-50% but the maximum temperature span by only 20-30%. Finally, it was seen that the influence of changing the magnetic field was more or less the same for the different regenerator geometries and operating parameters studied here. This means that the design of the magnet can be done independently of the regenerator geometry.

title: Assessing the Association Between Physical Activity and Prediabetes Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2014

description: Prediabetes, a condition in which glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes, affects approximately 37% of adults in the United States and is a major public health concern. Extensive research has evaluated the association between physical activity (PA) and type 2 diabetes; however, few studies have examined the association between PA and prediabetes. Therefore, we evaluated the association between PA (including leisure time, occupational and total) and prediabetes status among adults, stratified by gender, using multinomial logistic regression models fit to serial cross-sectional 2007-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. After adjusting for age, race, body mass index, smoking status, family history of hypertension and education, results suggest that the association between leisure time [moderate PA: 0.98 (95% CI: 0.80–1.21); tertile 3: 1.05 (95% CI: 0.75–1.49)] and total PA [tertile 1: 1.15, (95% CI: 0.96–1.38); tertile 2: 1.00, (95% CI: 0.79–1.27); tertile 3: 0.96, (0.77–1.20)] and undiagnosed prediabetes and was not statistically significant among women. However, compared to women who engaged in no occupational PA, engaging in the highest tertile was statistically significantly associated with lower odds of undiagnosed prediabetes [tertile 3: 0.75, (95% CI: 0.58–0.97)].
Compared to men who engaged in no leisure time PA, men engaging in the highest tertile of leisure time PA had a statistically significant lower odds of undiagnosed prediabetes [Tertile 3: 0.79, ( 0.65–0.98)]. Compared to men who did not engage in any PA, men engaging in any PA did not have a statistically significant decrease in odds of undiagnosed prediabetes [tertile 1: 0.90, (0.71–1.16); Tertile 2: 0.93, (0.74–1.18); Tertile 3: 0.99, (0.80–1.21)]. Overall, our results show that for both men and women, there was a general lack of association between leisure-time, occupational, and total physical activity and prediabetes status in adjusted analyses.

description: This is number twenty-seven of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the maintenance and repair of architectural cast iron. The successful conservation of cast-iron architectural elements and objects is dependent upon an accurate diagnosis of their condition and the problems affecting them, as well as the selection of appropriate repair, cleaning, and painting procedures. Frequently, it is necessary to undertake major repairs to individual elements and assemblies; in some cases badly damaged or missing components must be replicated. The long-term preservation of architectural cast iron is dependent upon both the undertaking of timely, appropriate repairs and the commitment to a regular schedule of maintenance.

description: An expression is determined for the mass of the magnet and magnetocaloric material needed for a magnetic refrigerator and these are determined using numerical modeling for both parallel plate and packed sphere bed regenerators as function of temperature span and cooling power. As magnetocaloric material Gd or a model material with a constant adiabatic temperature change, representing a infinitely linearly graded refrigeration device, is used. For the magnet a maximum figure of merit magnet or a Halbach cylinder is used. For a cost of \$40 and \$20 per kg for the magnet and magnetocaloric material, respectively, the cheapest 100 W parallel plate refrigerator with a temperature span of 20 K using Gd and a Halbach magnet has 0.8 kg of magnet, 0.3 kg of Gd and a cost of \$35. Using the constant material reduces this cost to \$25. A packed sphere bed refrigerator with the constant material costs \$7. It is also shown that increasing the operation frequency reduces the cost. Finally, the lowest cost is also found as a function of the cost of the magnet and magnetocaloric material.

title: A Computational Simulation Model for Predicting Infectious Disease Spread using the Evolving Contact Network Algorithm
Creators: name: Munkhbat, Buyannemekh
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Commonly used simulation models for predicting outbreaks of re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) take an individual-level or a population-level approach to modeling contact dynamics. These approaches are a trade-off between the ability to incorporate individual-level dynamics and computational efficiency. Agent-based network models (ABNM) use an individual-level approach by simulating the entire population and its contact structure, which increases the ability of adding detailed individual-level characteristics. However, as this method is computationally expensive, ABNMs use scaled-down versions of the full population, which are unsuitable for low prevalence diseases as the number of infected cases would become negligible during scaling-down. Compartmental models use differential equations to simulate population-level features, which is computationally inexpensive and can model full-scale populations. However, as the compartmental model framework assumes random mixing between people, it is not suitable for diseases where the underlying contact structures are a significant feature of disease epidemiology. Therefore, current methods are unsuitable for simulating diseases that have low prevalence and where the contact structures are significant.
The conceptual framework for a new simulation method, Evolving Contact Network Algorithm (ECNA), was recently proposed to address the above gap. The ECNA combines the attributes of ABNM and compartmental modeling. It generates a contact network of only infected persons and their immediate contacts, and evolves the network as new persons become infected.
The conceptual framework of the ECNA is promising for application to diseases with low prevalence and where contact structures are significant. This thesis develops and tests different algorithms to advance the computational capabilities of the ECNA and its flexibility to model different network settings. These features are key components that determine the feasibility of ECNA for application to disease prediction. Results indicate that the ECNA is nearly 20 times faster than ABNM when simulating a population of size 150,000 and flexible for modeling networks with two contact layers and communities. Considering uncertainties in epidemiological features and origin of future EIDs, there is a significant need for a computationally efficient method that is suitable for analyses of a range of potential EIDs at a global scale. This work holds promise towards the development of such a model.
title: Optical coherence tomography methods using 2-D detector arrays
Creators: name: Wang, Jingyu
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, non-contact optical technique that allows cross-section imaging of biological tissues with high spatial resolution, high sensitivity and high dynamic range. Standard OCT uses a focused beam to illuminate a point on the target and detects the signal using a single photodetector. To acquire transverse information, transversal scanning of the illumination point is required. Alternatively, multiple OCT channels can be operated in parallel simultaneously; parallel OCT signals are recorded by a two-dimensional (2D) detector array. This approach is known as Parallel-detection OCT. In this thesis, methods, experiments and results using three parallel OCT techniques, including full -field (time-domain) OCT (FF-OCT), full-field swept-source OCT (FF-SS-OCT) and line-field Fourier-domain OCT (LF-FD-OCT), are presented. Several 2D digital cameras of different formats have been used and evaluated in the experiments of different methods. With the LF-FD-OCT method, photography equipment, such as flashtubes and commercial DSLR cameras have been equipped and tested for OCT imaging. The techniques used in FF-OCT and FF-SS-OCT are employed in a novel wavefront sensing technique, which combines OCT methods with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SH-WFS). This combination technique is demonstrated capable of measuring depth-resolved wavefront aberrations, which has the potential to extend the applications of SH-WFS in wavefront-guided biomedical imaging techniques.

title: SEX SPECIFIC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF AROMATASE NEURONS IN THE MEDIAL AMYGDALA
Creators: name: Correia, Marcelo Henrique
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The medial amygdala (MeA) is a central node in the interwoven circuits that regulate social behavior based on pheromones. Aromatase-expressing (arom+) neurons in the MeA are key for the establishment and maintenance of sex differences. Here, we characterized the intrinsic electrophysiological properties of arom+ neurons and non-aromatase (arom-) neurons in the MeA of male and female mice. Most electrophysiological properties were similar for arom+ neurons in the MeA between sexes, but the relative refractory period was twice as large in female mice. We also show that the firing pattern and firing frequency is markedly different between arom+ and arom- neurons. The activity of MeA neurons could be modulated by estradiol, which reduced activity in arom+ neurons in males. The differences between arom+ and arom- neurons were observed in both sexes suggesting that aromatase expression delineates a neural population in the MeA with similar and unique electrophysiological properties.

An examination of the association between eating problems, negative mood, weight and sleeping quality in young women and men
Creators: name: Evans, Lynette

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this study was to determine if low mood influenced the association between eating problem symptoms and self report sleeping quality in a large group of young women and men. A group of 381 female and male undergraduate students completed a set of self-report inventories in order to test a model developed for this study observing the association between eating problems, low mood, restricted dieting, weight and self-reported sleeping quality using a path analysis model. The model that best fit the data indicated that eating problem symptoms were associated with low mood and low mood was related to sleeping quality. There was also a direct association between eating problems and sleeping quality but this was reduced by the presence of low mood in the equation. There were no other direct relationships with sleeping quality but there was an association between low mood and low weight. There were also differences reported between men and women on sleeping quality suggesting that women in this sample reported more sleeping difficulties than men. In all this research demonstrates with a large non-clinical sample the links between eating problems, mood and sleeping difficulties.

description: Scrum is a structured framework to support complex product development. However, Scrum methodology faces a challenge of managing large teams. To address this challenge, in this paper we propose a solution called Scrum of Scrums. In Scrum of Scrums, we divide the Scrum team into teams of the right size, and then organize them hierarchically into a Scrum of Scrums. The main goals of the proposed solution are to optimize communication between teams in Scrum of Scrums; to make the system work after integration of all parts; to reduce the dependencies between the parts of system; and to prevent the duplication of parts in the system.

title: Rethinking Ambulatory Care Delivery

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: The purpose of the thesis is to explore and find ways in making architecture part of the healing process within the specific healthcare setting of ambulatory care. To do so, the project aims at not only serving as a clinic for patients, but also to playing a role to make clinics a more human place by integrating healthcare and community. Understanding that architecture can be an important factor in long- and short-term healthcare and healing processes, the thesis focuses on ambulatory care facilities in rural areas. The project’s goal is to explore, understand and solve some of the problems that characterize outpatient clinics; such as waiting time and quality of healthcare delivery. Also, it focuses on studying indoor-outdoor spaces and treating them as environments that will improve the productivity of staff in work as well as designing a friendly patient and family environment. Through the lens of architecture, this research attempts to elaborate on the complex relationship between doctors, staff, patients, and community. The project argues that ambulatory care facilities should not be limited to only provide clinical space, but they should be flexible to account for future expansion and accommodate new technologies and to take into a high consideration the human scale. By introducing natural light, adding supportive programs and improving wayfinding in the clinic, this thesis will try to answer the following questions: How to design places for improved patient experience? How to lower the stress and confusion on a medical appointment? How to make ‘one-day’ patients’ part of a more integrated and wholesome experience? The site selected for this thesis is located in a historic district in Claremont, NH. This design is serving as a model that can be applied in rural towns with similar history and architecture.

description: A metamaterial magnetic flux concentrator is investigated in detail in combination with a Halbach cylinder of infinite length. A general analytical solution to the field is determined and the magnetic figure of merit is determined for a Halbach cylinder with a flux concentrator. It is shown that an ideal flux concentrator will not change the figure of merit of a given magnet design, while the non-ideal will always lower it. The geometric parameters producing maximum figure of merit, i.e. the most efficient devices, are determined. The force and torque between two concentric Halbach cylinders with flux concentrators is determined and the maximum torque is found. Finally, the effect of non-ideal flux concentrators and the practical use of flux concentrators, as well as demagnetization issues, is discussed.

We assessed the extent of temporal variation and autocorrelation in fish habitatuse based on an experimental study of individual 0+ juvenile barbel, Barbus barbus, in anartificial flume. Five treated and five control fish were individually subjected to an increasein discharge (intervention) halfway through each experiment and kept at baseline dischargethroughout, respectively. Preference curves for velocity were generated for each of 60 trials perexperiment and for each combination of treated/control (fish) × before/after-intervention. Therewere large between- and within-individual differences in velocity preference, both in treated andin control fish. Most barbel explored the entire range of velocities, whereas some individualsused a more limited range. Temporal variation in behavioural responses was assessed by a PCAbasedmethodology. Autocorrelation (i.e. correlation between sequential trials) was diagnosedin most response profiles, supporting recent findings that individuals may have a ‘memory’of their past velocity usage. The relevance of the results for numerical habitat models of fishhabitat assessment is discussed, as well as the importance of incorporating temporal variabilityinto fish habitat use models (e.g. PHABSIM), not only as ontogenetic intervals but also aslongitudinal data of individual behaviours. A warning is also re-issued about the erroneous beliefof ‘pseudoreplication’ simply arising from repeated measurements in time.

description: Cyberwar (Cyber war, Cyber Warfare) is the military confrontation with the means of information technology. This paper presents the current state and deals with the theoretical and practical problems. In practice, cyberwar is an integral part of military action, but cannot be completely separated from espionage, since the intrusion into and reconnaissance of target systems is essential for further action. After an overview of attack methods, attackers (Advanced Persistent Threats), spy tools, cyber weapons and cyber defense, a particular focus is on the attribution of cyber-attacks and the Smart Industry (Industry 4.0). Afterwards, the cyberwar strategies of the US, China, Russia and further leading actors will be discussed. Further chapters present Artificial Intelligence, Smart Industry, smart devices and biological applications.

description: Existence Stories is an interactive activist art project that gathers personal narratives from people about the ways in which their lives have been impacted by the current political climate in the United States, particularly surrounding the 2016 Presidential election and its aftermath. The project harnesses first-person narrative and audience participation as tools for humanizing the “Other” and building connections between people through the act of sharing stories. As the project has progressed over time, it has evolved in multiple directions and come to incorporate a variety of media, primarily comics, animation, printmaking, and zines. The roles that reproduction, distribution, and communication play in all of these media are also explored within this body of work.

Molecular bases of gluten toxicity and Relationship with the enzyme Transglutaminase in celiac disease

description: 2020 - 2021
description: Celiac disease (CD) is a life-long gluten-sensitive immune-mediated disorder that primarily affects the small intestine of genetically susceptible individuals worldwide. Type 2 transglutaminase (TG2) has two crucial roles in CD pathogenesis: as a deamidating enzyme, of crucial importance in enhancing gluten immunogenicity, and as a target autoantigen in the immune response. The presence of constitutive alterations in CD cells compared to non-CD ones has recently led to the definition of the so-called “celiac cellular phenotype”, that may represent a predisposing condition to the damaging effects of gluten. TG2, and particularly anti-TG2 autoantibodies, also contributes to this phenotype. Indeed, anti-TG2 autoantibodies, by forming complexes with cell-surface TG2, specifically derange the uptake of the toxic α-gliadin peptide 31-43 by non-CD cells but not by CD ones. In this PhD thesis work, differences in TG2 subcellular distribution in CD and non-CD cells were investigated to determine how TG2 may be able to contribute to the different handling of p31- 43 by the two groups of cells. Then, in the attempt to identify other constitutive differences regarding TG2 in CD and non-CD cells, it was investigated whether p31-43 differentially modulated TG2 expression and activity in fibroblasts from the two groups of subjects. The data obtained showed that TG2 was associated with the cell surface membrane, the early endosomal compartment and the autophagic compartment more in CD cells than in non-CD ones. The data also showed the p31-43 differently affected TG2 expression and activity in CD and non-CD cells, activating TG2 more in non-CD cells than in CD ones and inducing TG2 expression in CD cells but not in non-CD ones. These findings support the idea that TG2 localization inside CD cells contributes to defining the “celiac cellular phenotype”, thus having an important but still undefined role in CD pathogenesis. Subsequently, it was investigated whether regulation of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis regarding the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was different in CD and non-CD cells. Relatedly, it was analyzed how CD and non-CD cells responded to stimulation with thapsigargin (THP), an ER-stress and autophagy inducer, also focusing the attention on TG2 modulation. The data obtained showed that, in CD cells, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis was deregulated, thus causing both a strong Unfolding Protein Response (UPR) and an engulfed autophagy in response to stimulation with THP. Interestingly, p31-43 mobilized Ca2+ from intracellular stores more in CD cells than in non-CD ones; however, the p31-43-induced increase in Ca2+ only partially activated TG2. Overall, this PhD thesis work adds a small piece of knowledge about the complex interplay between gluten peptides and TG2 in the pathogenetic mechanisms of CD. [edited by Author]

description: Through this workshop we will explore the functional role of place identity within medical education and identify ways to embed a place-conscious pedagogy within our curriculum. Participants of this workshop will be challenged to re-integrate the benefits of place-based identity-making in preclinical and clinical curriculum. Participants will be asked explore what place-based identity means to them through a think-pair share activity before introducing various definitions and storytelling to connect identity and health. Participants will then be asked to think critically about how we can ensure our learners are prepared, not just to serve all Oregonians through urban centered healthcare, but to live and work in Oregon communities.
