description: Additional file 6: Figure S6. LC-MS/MS (MS Western) analysis of metabolic enzymes. a-f Multiple peptide-based concordant quantification of an example protein isocitrate lyase (ICL-1). Extracted ion chromatograms (XIC) of ICL-1 endogenous peptides (a) LQSAEEAQLWADVFK and (c) NQLEGQINLYDAVR, and their corresponding co-eluting labeled peptides (b and d) from an artificial chimeric standard. (e) and (f) show the isotopic distribution of the light (L) and heavy (H) peptides. The light-to-heavy ratio (L/H) are similar for both peptides. The quantification is performed by comparing the peak abundances of a known amount of the chimeric standard to the peak abundances of the endogenous peptides to calculate the amount in fmoles. The final amount is reported as an average of the calculated values for all peptides. g Scheme of the chimeric construct used in the MS Western measurements. h Coefficient of variation (CV %) distribution of 43 proteins were each point represents one protein. The proteome of L3 larvae (daf-2 at 15 °C) is given as an example. The CV % was calculated for each protein in one sample by the following formula, σ(QuantiN)/μ(QuantiN) where i represents the protein, N represents the number of quantitypic peptide in protein (i), and the Quant is the amount in fmole. σ and μ represent the standard deviation and mean, respectively. The median CV was less than 10% (9.336% ± 5.3%). i Scatter diagram demonstrating the concordance between peak abundances measured in technical replicates within the whole proteomics data set of L3 and dauer larvae (daf-2 at 15 °C and 25 °C).

description: In this paper a nonparametric variance ratio testing approach is proposed for determining the cointegration rank in fractionally integrated systems. The test statistic is easily calculated without prior knowledge of the integration order of the data, the strength of the cointegrating relations, or the cointegration vector(s). The latter property makes it easier to implement than regression-based approaches, especially when examining relationships between several variables with possibly multiple cointegrating vectors. Since the test is nonparametric, it does not require the speci cation of a particular model and is invariant to short-run dynamics. Nor does it require the choice of any smoothing parameters that change the test statistic without being reected in the asymptotic distribution. Furthermore, a consistent estimator of the cointegration space can be obtained from the procedure. The asymptotic distribution theory for the proposed test is non-standard but easily tabulated or simulated. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate excellent nite sample properties, even rivaling those of well-speci ed parametric tests. The proposed methodology is applied to the term structure of interest rates, where, contrary to both fractional and integer-based parametric approaches, evidence in favor of the expectations hypothesis is found using the nonparametric approach.

description: Machine learning was utilized to efficiently boost the development of soft magnetic materials. The design process includes building a database composed of published experimental results, applying machine learning methods on the database, identifying the trends of magnetic properties in soft magnetic materials, and accelerating the design of next-generation soft magnetic nanocrystalline materials through the use of numerical optimization. Machine learning regression models were trained to predict magnetic saturation ($B_S$), coercivity ($H_C$) and magnetostriction ($λ$), with a stochastic optimization framework being used to further optimize the corresponding magnetic properties. To verify the feasibility of the machine learning model, several optimized soft magnetic materials -- specified in terms of compositions and thermomechanical treatments -- have been predicted and then prepared and tested, showing good agreement between predictions and experiments, proving the reliability of the designed model. Two rounds of optimization-testing iterations were conducted to search for better properties.
Ordered Phases and Phase Transitions in The Stacked Triangular Ising Antiferromagnet CsCoCl$_{3}$ and CsCoBr$_{3}$

description: We study the ordered phases and the phase transitions in the stacked triangular antiferromagnetic Ising (STAFI) model with strong interplane coupling modeling CsCoCl$_3$ and CsCoBr$_3$. We find that there exists an intermediate phase which consists of a single phase of so-called partial disordered (PD) type, and confirm the stability of this phase. The low temperature phase of this model is so-called two-sublattice ferri magnetic phase. The phase transition between the PD phase and two-sublattice ferri magnetic phase is of the first order. This sequence of the phases is homomorphic as that in the three-dimensional generalized six-state clock model which have the same symmetry of the STAFI model. By studying distributions of domain walls in one dimensional chains connecting layered triangular lattices, we clarify the nature of the phase transition and give an interpretation of little anomaly of the specific heat.

Intermittency of glassy relaxation and the emergence of a non-equilibrium spontaneous measure in the aging regime

description: We consider heat exchange processes between non-equilibrium aging systems (in their activated regime) and the thermal bath in contact. We discuss a scenario where two different heat exchange processes concur in the overall heat dissipation: a stimulated fast process determined by the temperature of the bath and a spontaneous intermittent process determined by the fact that the system has been prepared in a non-equilibrium state. The latter is described by a probability distribution function (PDF) that has an exponential tail of width given by a parameter $λ$, and satisfies a fluctuation theorem (FT) governed by that parameter. The value of $λ$ is proportional to the so-called effective temperature, thereby providing a practical way to experimentally measure it by analyzing the PDF of intermittent events.

description: We present an experimental study of Z-scan measurements of the nonlinear response of cold Cs atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Numerical simulations of the Z-scan signal accounting for the nonuniform atomic density agree with experimental results at large probe beam detunings. At small probe detunings a spatially varying radiation force modifies the Z-scan signal. We also show that the measured scan is sensitive to the atomic polarization distribution.

description: The study examined the relationship of a deaf versus hearing social reference group to six dimensions of self-perception in profoundly deaf adolescents. The dimensions, as assessed by Harter's (1988) Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA), are scholastic competence, social acceptance, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, close friendship, and global self-worth. The subjects were 40 middle-school students (mean age of 13.1) at a state residential school for the deaf. The Friendship Rating Scale (FRS) was used to identify participants' sociometric status (popularity). Subjects were matched and randomly assigned to two study groups of 20 students each. Each study group completed the SPPA. One group used deaf peers and the other used hearing peers as their social references for self-comparison. No difference between the mean SPPA scores for the study samples using a deaf and hearing social reference group was hypothesized for the dimensions of physical appearance and behavioral conduct; these hypotheses were confirmed. It was also hypothesized that the mean SPPA score for the study sample using a deaf social reference group would be significantly higher than the mean score for the sample using a hearing social reference group for the dimensions of scholastic competence, social acceptance, close friendship, and global self-worth. These hypotheses were not confirmed. The only difference found between the social reference groups existed in the dimension of social acceptance, which occurred in reverse of the hypothesis. The study group using a hearing social reference group scored significantly higher $(p<.05)$ than the group using a deaf social reference group. This finding suggests that the deaf students perceive themselves as more socially acceptable to hearing peers than to deaf peers. This finding is contrary to Foster's (1987), Foster and Brown's (1988), and Becker's (1987) previous research in deafness. Another possibility suggested by this finding is that these students interpreted the instrument differently than intended, which would, then, suggest that they perceive themselves to be as socially accepted among their peers as hearing students are among hearing peers. In general, it is concluded that, in this sample of deaf adolescents, social reference groups are not an important factor in their self-evaluations of competency.

Making use of data obtained with EPIC (European Photon Imaging Camera) we were for the first time able to spatially resolve the two components in X-rays and to study the light curves of the individual components of the EQ Peg system. During the observation a series of moderate flares was detected, where it was possible to identify the respective flaring component.

description: This paper presents a family of simple nonparametric unit root tests indexed by one parameter, d, and containing Breitung’s (2002) test as the special case d = 1. It is shown that (i) each member of the family with d > 0 is consistent, (ii) the asymptotic distribution depends on d, and thus re ects the parameter chosen to implement the test, and (iii) since the asymptotic distribution depends on d and the test remains consistent for all d > 0, it is possible to analyze the power of the test for dierent values of d. The usual Phillips-Perron or Dickey-Fuller type tests are characterized by tuning parameters (bandwidth, lag length, etc.), i.e. parameters which change the test statistic but are not re ected in the asymptotic distribution, and thus have none of these three properties. It is shown that members of the family with d < 1 have higher asymptotic local power than the Breitung (2002) test, and when d is small the asymptotic local power of the proposed nonparametric test is relatively close to the parametric power envelope, particularly in the case with a linear timetrend. Furthermore, GLS detrending is shown to improve power when d is small, which is not the case for Breitung’s (2002) test. Simulations demonstrate that, apart from some size distortion in the presence of large negative AR or MA coecients, the proposed test has good nite sample properties in the presence of both linear and nonlinear short-run dynamics. When applying a sieve bootstrap procedure, the proposed test has very good size properties, with nite sample power that is higher than that of Breitung’s (2002) test and even rivals the (nearly) optimal parametric GLS detrended augmented Dickey-Fuller test with lag length chosen by an information criterion.
Harmonic-gauge dipole metric perturbations for weak-field circular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime
Creators: name: Ori, Amos
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate the harmonic-gauge even l=1 mode of the linear metric perturbation (MP) produced by a particle in a weak-field circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole (BH). We focus on the Newtonian limit, i.e. the limit in which the mass M of the central BH approaches zero (while fixing the orbital radius and the small-object mass), and obtain explicit expressions for the MP in this limit. We find that the MP are anomalous in this limit, namely, they do not approach their standard, Coulomb-like, flat-space values. Instead, the MP grows on approaching the BH, and this growth becomes worse as M decreases. This anomalous behavior leads to some pathologies which we briefly discuss. We also derive here the next-order correction (in the orbital frequency $Ω$) to the MP.

description: The Southern Ocean and Antarctica are projected to undergo large changes in a warming climate. Yet our understanding of what has led to recent changes in those regions is still incomplete. This thesis used a range of climate model experiments to highlight the importance of tropical sea surface temperature variability in remotely forcing multi-decadal changes in the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude jet and Antarctic sea ice. It quantified the importance of tropical Pacific variability in driving the observed wind patterns and found that the tropical Indian Ocean was critical to the recent sea ice expansion in the Ross Sea.

description: We present results of the first lattice QCD calculations of $B_c \to B_s$ and $B_c \to B_d$ weak matrix elements. Form factors across the entire physical $q^2$ range are then extracted and extrapolated to the physical-continuum limit before combining with CKM matrix elements to predict the semileptonic decay rates $Γ(B_c^+ \to B_s^0 \overline{\ell} ν_{\ell}) = 26.2(1.2) \times 10^9 \,\text{s}^{-1}$ and $Γ(B_c^+ \to B^0 \overline{\ell} ν_{\ell}) = 1.65(10) \times 10^9 \,\text{s}^{-1}$. The lattice QCD uncertainty is comparable to the CKM uncertainty here. Results are derived from correlation functions computed on MILC Collaboration gauge configurations with a range of lattice spacings including 2+1+1 flavours of dynamical sea quarks in the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) formalism. HISQ is also used for the propagators of the valence light, strange, and charm quarks. Two different formalisms are employed for the bottom quark: non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and heavy-HISQ. Checking agreement between these two approaches is an important test of our strategies for heavy quarks on the lattice. From chained fits of NRQCD and heavy-HISQ data, we obtain the differential decay rates $dΓ/ d q^2$ as well as integrated values for comparison to future experimental results.

Good life in the country: Rural households and the American pie, 1900-1930
Creators: name: Larson, Sarah Sue
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation focusses on the dialogue within the rural community and between the country and the city about the "good life," about how the rural community fit into a modern, consumption-oriented, industrial-based economy. Sentiments of farm families usually were expressed by rural women--literate women. Previous histories have looked to the messages going into the rural community from reformers and advertisers. This study looks, instead, at the desires and demands emanating from farm families, often in letters to federal agencies. As another source, Country Life reformers and national advertisers were making a concerted effort to tap into rural opinion, distributing surveys and sponsoring essay contests in farm journals. These efforts were aimed toward "progressive" rural families; not necessarily those who were currently affluent and influential, but those who were so placed by education and initiative as to benefit from reform efforts and become affluent and influential. In the words of rural women about quality of life, in their buying patterns, are shades of nuances that add depth and perspective to our understanding both of rural life and of Progressive era reform. The piece of the debate over rural life controlled and directed by "progressive" farm women suggests that there was no homogeneity of opinion within the rural community. Families were neither fully resistant nor fully accepting of the changes of the twentieth century. Though they were clearly intrigued by the accoutrements of industrialism, rural women differed as to how crucial such acquisitions were to living the good life. They picked and chose what they bought and what they expressed a desire to buy. Likewise, they embraced certain Progressive reforms and ignored others. The promises of Progressivism came packaged in the household technologies and entertainments of a new era; debate over the good life hinged directly on the comforts of the industrial age. Every modern convenience acquired was, in a sense, a promise kept. Letters and essays and surveys stemming from the rural community suggest that enough conveniences were flowing into enough farm houses as to make the promises of Progressivism seem both valid and possible.
title: Epigenetic control of human HOX clusters
Creators: name: Sessa, Luca
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: In Drosophila, Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) genes are part of a cell memory system that prevents changes in cell identity by maintaining transcription patterns starting from the developing embryo throughout adult stages. PcG and trxG control epigenetically repressed and active transcriptional states of Hox genes and developmentally regulated genes. Both PcGs and trxGs exert their functions by binding to specific DNA element called Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements (PREs/TREs). Many PREs were identified and characterized in the BX-C of D. melanogaster. Since no human PREs/TREs have been identified, we decided to map PcG/trxG protein distribution in human HOX loci.

Sequence comparisons “in silico” revealed that HOX clusters present a unique redistribution of the Repetitive Elements (REs) which localize in the flanking regions and are absent from the inner part of the cluster. Mapping of PREs/TREs by chromatin immunoprecipitation (X-ChIP), revealed that PcGs/trxG proteins associate with RE-containing fragments at the boundaries of the human HOXA cluster. We discuss the possibility that REs could modulate Hox gene expression by working as epigenetic elements able to nucleate the formation of heterochromatin-like structures.

PRE/TRE characterization in D. melanogaster showed that PcG and trxG proteins could interact with the same DNA element, implying that these elements could work both as a PRE and as a TRE. Recently it has been hypothesized that the switch from PRE to TRE involves the transcription of these intergenic modules. As for other genetic phenomena (X-chromosome inactivation, dosage compensation, genomic imprinting), these non-coding RNAs play a role in epigenetic control of gene expression, suggesting that non-coding transcripts may underscore the position of cis-regulatory elements. I then investigate about 400 genomic loci for the presence of non-coding intergenic RNAs. Among the others, I have identified and characterized these non-coding transcripts in intergenic regions of human and mouse homeotic loci.
Elastic Energy, Fluctuations and Temperature for Granular Materials

description: We probe, using a model system, elastic and kinetic energies for sheared granular materials. For large enough $P/E_y$ (pressure/Young's modulus) and $P/ρv^2$ ($P/$kinetic energy density) elastic dominates kinetic energy, and energy fluctuations become primarily elastic in nature. This regime has likely been reached in recent experiments. We consider a generalization of the granular temperature, $T_g$, with both kinetic and elastic terms and that changes smoothly from one regime to the other. This $T_g$ is roughly consistent with a temperature adapted from equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, like doped cuprates and barium bismuthate, is a negative charge-transfer gap even parity superconductor with $\frac{3}{4}$-filled oxygen band

description: A comprehensive theory of superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ must explain experiments that suggest even parity superconducting order and others that suggest broken time reversal symmetry. Completeness further requires that the theory applies to Ca$_2$RuO$_4$, a Mott-Hubbard semiconductor that exhibits an unprecedented insulator-to-metal transition driven by very small electric field, and also by doping with very small concentration of electrons, leading to a metallic state proximate to ferromagnetism. A valence transition model, previously proposed for superconducting cuprates [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 98}, 205153] is extended to Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ and Ca$_2$RuO$_4$. The insulator to metal transition is distinct from that expected from the simple melting of the Mott-Hubbard semiconductor. Rather, the Ru ions occur as low spin Ru$^{4+}$ in the semiconductor, and as high spin Ru$^{3+}$ in the metal, the driving force behind the valence transition being the strong spin-charge coupling and consequent large ionizaton energy in the low charge state. Metallic and superconducting ruthenates are two-component systems in which the half-filled high spin Ru$^{3+}$ ions determine the magnetic behavior but not transport, while the charge carriers are entirely on on the layer oxygen ions, which have an average charge -1.5. Spin singlet superconductivity evolves from the correlated lattice frustrated 3/4 filled band of layer oxygen ions alone, in agreement with quantum many body calculations that have demonstrated enhancement by electron-electron interactions of superconducting pair-pair correlations tions uniquely at or very close to this filling [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 93}, 165110 and {\bf 93}, 205111]. Several model specific experimental predictions are made, including that spin susceptibility due to Ru ions will remain unchanged as Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is taken through superconducting Tc.

description: The main objective of this paper is to determine whether specialization in resource intensive production had a positive impact on the performance of the aggregate Canadian economy over the 1970-2005 period. Specialization is simply measured as the proportion of aggregate employment, the aggregate fixed capital stock, and G.N.P. that may be attributed to Canada’s energy, fishing, forestry, and mining industries. Direct contributions to intensive, or per capita performance are measured in terms of the resource industries’ profitability, productivity, and capital intensity. Indirect contributions to economic performance are measured in terms of spill overs, or linkages to other non-resource intensive industries through raw material price advantages and demand generation. The possibility that resource intensive production may have been crowding out other sectors in the economy through input price inflation or currency appreciation is also investigated. Based on the evidence, I argue that Canada’s resource industries were making a substantial positive impact on aggregate economic performance after 1970, but this conclusion depends on the inclusion of the energy industries in resource sector.

description: The study findings show that despite sustained annual growth in domestic revenue collections, overall revenue mobilisation in Uganda is still below its potential. Uganda continues to lag behind her regional neighbours in terms of the tax to GDP ratio. Regarding revenue collection efficiency, the tax gap analysis shows that tax collection efficiency (C-Efficiency)—which measures the extent to which tax actual revenues deviate from the maximum possible revenues in a perfectly enforced tax system—is below its potential for all tax categories. In 2015/16, the C-Efficiency ratio was 20.7 percent, indicating that Uganda was unable to collect most of the potential taxes. Nonetheless, the C-Efficiency has significantly increased in the recent past—increasing by approximately 8 percentage points from the average of 11.8 percent, estimated for the period 1991/92 to 2000/01, to an average of 19.7 percent during 2011/12-2015/16.

description: This dissertation focusses on the dialogue within the rural community and between the country and the city about the "good life," about how the rural community fit into a modern, consumption-oriented, industrial-based economy. Sentiments of farm families usually were expressed by rural women--literate women. Previous histories have looked to the messages going into the rural community from reformers and advertisers. This study looks, instead, at the desires and demands emanating from farm families, often in letters to federal agencies. As another source, Country Life reformers and national advertisers were making a concerted effort to tap into rural opinion, distributing surveys and sponsoring essay contests in farm journals. These efforts were aimed toward "progressive" rural families; not necessarily those who were currently affluent and influential, but those who were so placed by education and initiative as to benefit from reform efforts and become affluent and influential. In the words of rural women about quality of life, in their buying patterns, are shades of nuances that add depth and perspective to our understanding both of rural life and of Progressive era reform. The piece of the debate over rural life controlled and directed by "progressive" farm women suggests that there was no homogeneity of opinion within the rural community. Families were neither fully resistant nor fully accepting of the changes of the twentieth century. Though they were clearly intrigued by the accoutrements of industrialism, rural women differed as to how crucial such acquisitions were to living the good life. They picked and chose what they bought and what they expressed a desire to buy. Likewise, they embraced certain Progressive reforms and ignored others. The promises of Progressivism came packaged in the household technologies and entertainments of a new era; debate over the good life hinged directly on the comforts of the industrial age. Every modern convenience acquired was, in a sense, a promise kept. Letters and essays and surveys stemming from the rural community suggest that enough conveniences were flowing into enough farm houses as to make the promises of Progressivism seem both valid and possible.

description: moderate altitude is considered over 1,500 m.a.s.l., it is a particular environment due to the lower oxygen pressure that conditions the development of adaptive mechanisms such as cerebrovascular changes expressed in cerebral blood flow (CBF). Several studies have explored changes in CBF in reduced populations, however, changes at different altitudes, populations and units of measurement in general that are important to deepen the knowledge of these changes that have been associated with cerebrovascular adaptation have not been described.
Globalizing the cottage: Homeworkers' challenge to the international labor regime

description: Homeworkers, i.e. those who work at home for pay, are excluded from the labor regulations of most countries and are marginalized because they are defined as housewives who do not work. This dissertation identifies formal and informal rules which guide and define labor relations internationally and which function to make homeworkers marginal. I argue that these rules are part of an international labor regime. This study provides a theoretical reformulation of the regimes concept, embeds it in a constructivist framework, and incorporates elements of Foucauldian theory to account for the distribution of privilege engendered by regime rules. Two sets of rules are identified; one is formulated around the opposition between employer and employee, the other around the opposition between home and work. My method is interpretive, focusing on debates about homework at the international level. Described here are a variety of attempts to "discipline" homeworkers, i.e. efforts to make them fit into categories defined by the regime. Such attempts have never been entirely successful because homeworkers combine characteristics of employees and employers, housewives and breadwinners, categories which are constructed as diametrically opposed. Homeworkers are at a disadvantage because they are not defined as employees. My research shows that rules formulated around the employer-employee dichotomy have heteronomous force, i.e. those who are defined as subordinate by these rules have a stake in perpetuating their own subordination. It would be in the interest of homeworkers to be defined as subordinate to their work givers because then they would be entitled to the same rights that other employees have under labor law. In contrast, rules based on the housewife-breadwinner dichotomy have little heteronomous force. It is to the disadvantage of homeworkers to be defined as housewives because this legitimizes low pay and makes their crucial contribution to family income invisible. Inasmuch as homeworkers resist being categorized as employees or housewives through their daily practice or through political action, they challenge rules of the international labor regime.

description: Prostate cancer diagnosis through MR imaging have currently relied on radiologists' interpretation, whilst modern AI-based methods have been developed to detect clinically significant cancers independent of radiologists. In this study, we propose to develop deep learning models that improve the overall cancer diagnostic accuracy, by classifying radiologist-identified patients or lesions (i.e. radiologist-positives), as opposed to the existing models that are trained to discriminate over all patients. We develop a single voxel-level classification model, with a simple percentage threshold to determine positive cases, at levels of lesions, Barzell-zones and patients. Based on the presented experiments from two clinical data sets, consisting of histopathology-labelled MR images from more than 800 and 500 patients in the respective UCLA and UCL PROMIS studies, we show that the proposed strategy can improve the diagnostic accuracy, by augmenting the radiologist reading of the MR imaging. Among varying definition of clinical significance, the proposed strategy, for example, achieved a specificity of 44.1% (with AI assistance) from 36.3% (by radiologists alone), at a controlled sensitivity of 80.0% on the publicly available UCLA data set. This provides measurable clinical values in a range of applications such as reducing unnecessary biopsies, lowering cost in cancer screening and quantifying risk in therapies.
Locating line and node disturbances in networks of diffusively coupled dynamical agents

description: A wide variety of natural and human-made systems consist of a large set of dynamical units coupled into a complex structure. Breakdown of such systems can have a dramatic impact, as in the case of neurons in the brain or lines in an electric grid, to name but a few. Preventing such catastrophic events requires in particular to be able to detect and locate the source of disturbances as fast as possible. We propose a simple method to identify and locate disturbances in networks of coupled dynamical agents, relying only on time series measurements and on the knowledge of the (possibly Kron-reduced) network structure. The strength and the appeal of the present approach lies in its simplicity paired with the ability to precisely locate disturbances and even to differentiate between line and node disturbances. If we have access to measurement at only a subset of nodes, our method is still able to identify the location of the disturbance if the disturbed nodes are measured. If not, we manage to identify the region of the network where the disturbance occurs.

description: Temperature and kinematic line broadening are the primary contributions to the width of the proton energy spectrum measured in cluster-impact fusion experiments. By ascertaining these two contributions, we have determined an effective temperature for the high-velocity deuteron component that is responsible for the measured fusion yield. The extracted effective temperature is substantially higher than conventional estimates., and implies that cluster-impact fusion is hot fusion on an atomic scale. The proton spectrum rules out contaminants in explaining the high yield.
