description: This paper presents the evaluation strategy and the first results we obtained when we used the FACTS4WORKERS evaluation framework. The purpose of the framework is to prove whether the project interventions achieve the expected results, which are: improving workers’ job satisfaction, increasing innovation and problem solving skills as well as enhancing productivity. Because of the diversity of the industrial partners and of the workplaces where the interventions are going to be implemented, the different languages, legal and cultural environments the framework was conceived as general as possible to be adapted to any particular case. We present here one example for using the framework, the first results of these measurements and the feedback the evaluation provides both for supporting the decisions about the interventions and about the framework itself.

description: There exist a variety of star-galaxy classification techniques, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, we present a novel meta-classification framework that combines and fully exploits different techniques to produce a more robust star-galaxy classification. To demonstrate this hybrid, ensemble approach, we combine a purely morphological classifier, a supervised machine learning method based on random forest, an unsupervised machine learning method based on self-organizing maps, and a hierarchical Bayesian template fitting method. Using data from the CFHTLenS survey, we consider different scenarios: when a high-quality training set is available with spectroscopic labels from DEEP2, SDSS, VIPERS, and VVDS, and when the demographics of sources in a low-quality training set do not match the demographics of objects in the test data set. We demonstrate that our Bayesian combination technique improves the overall performance over any individual classification method in these scenarios. Thus, strategies that combine the predictions of different classifiers may prove to be optimal in currently ongoing and forthcoming photometric surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

description: A hafnium strontium oxide (HfSrO) liquid crystal (LC) alignment film was efficiently created through brush coating, and its ability to change the LC alignment direction was confirmed. A brush was applied to HfSrO sol coated on an indium-tin oxide substrate, after which the coating was solidified at various curing temperatures. It was confirmed that a directional micro/nanostructure was formed above 280°C due to the shear stresses caused by the movement of the brush hairs. Surface chemical changes were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. As the curing temperature increased, the prevalence of oxygen bonds increased and the contact angle decreased, thereby increasing the surface energy. The anisotropic boundary of the microgrooves and the van der Waals forces due to an increase in surface energy changed the alignment direction of LC molecules from vertical to horizontal, as verified through polarized optical microscopy and pretilt angle measurements. Thus, the efficiency of the brush-coating method, which dramatically simplifies the LC alignment film process, was confirmed. The homeotropic/homogeneous LC alignment property of the HfSrO film produced through brush coating depending on the curing temperature provides an innovative approach for LC alignment.

description: The rate of energy transfer between electrons and phonons is investigated by a first principles framework for electron temperatures up to $T_e=50000$ K while considering the lattice at ground state. Two typical but differently complex metals are investigated, namely Aluminium and Copper. In order to reasonably take the electronic excitation effect into account, we adopt finite temperature density functional theory and linear response to determine the electron-temperature-dependent Eliashberg function and electron density of states. Of the three branch-dependent electron-phonon coupling strengths, the longitudinal acoustic mode plays a dominant role in the electron-phonon coupling for Aluminium for all temperatures considered here, but for Copper it only dominates above an electron temperature of $T_e=40000$ K. The second moment of the Eliashberg function and the electron phonon coupling constant at room temperature $T_e=315$ K show good agreement with other results. For increasing electron temperatures, we show the limits of the $T=0$ approximation for the Eliashberg function. Our present work provides a rich perspective on the phonon dynamics and this will help to improve insight into the underlying mechanism of energy flow in ultra-fast laser-metal interaction.

description: We demonstrate significant improvements of the spin coherence time of a dense ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond through optimized dynamical decoupling (DD). Cooling the sample down to $77$ K suppresses longitudinal spin relaxation $T_1$ effects and DD microwave pulses are used to increase the transverse coherence time $T_2$ from $\sim 0.7$ ms up to $\sim 30$ ms. We extend previous work of single-axis (CPMG) DD towards the preservation of arbitrary spin states. Following a theoretical and experimental characterization of pulse and detuning errors, we compare the performance of various DD protocols. We identify that the optimal control scheme for preserving an arbitrary spin state is a recursive protocol, the concatenated version of the XY8 pulse sequence. The improved spin coherence might have an immediate impact on improvements of the sensitivities of AC magnetometry. Moreover, the protocol can be used on denser diamond samples to increase coherence times up to NV-NV interaction time scales, a major step towards the creation of quantum collective NV spin states.

description: We present deep $g,i$-band DECam stellar photometry of the Hercules Milky Way satellite galaxy, and its surrounding field, out to a radial distance of 5.4 times the tidal radius. We have identified nine extended stellar substructures associated with the dwarf; preferentially distributed along the major axis of the galaxy. Two significant over-densities lie outside the 95\% confidence band for the likely orbital path of the galaxy and appear to be free-floating tidal debris. We estimate the luminosity of the new stellar substructures, and find that approximately the same amount of stellar flux is lying in these extended structures as inside the main body of Hercules. We also analyse the distribution of candidate blue-horizontal-branch stars and find agreement with the alignment of the substructures at a confidence level greater than 98\%. Our analysis provides a quantitative demonstration that Hercules is a strongly tidally disrupted system, with noticeable stellar features at least 1.9 kpc away from the galaxy.

title: Meaning and Meaning-Making: An exploration into the importance of creative viewer response for art practice
Creators: name: Jozwiak, Jörg
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Meaning, meaning-making, artist, audience, participation, engagement, viewer, intention, art, artworks, education, empirical aesthetics, audience research, psychology, pragmatism, post-structuralism, open work.

description: Empirical research suggests that gallery and museum audiences have a strong propensity to make sense of artworks by understanding what the artist ‘means to say’, or what the ‘encoded message’ of a work might be. Conversely, many contemporary artists subscribe to the idea that observers may (or even should) endow their work with their own meaning. In response to this situation, this thesis asks: How can one facilitate a more individual engagement by viewers in the meaning making process?

To approach this task, the concepts of meaning and meaning-making are re-assessed and new definitions suggested that endeavour to relate these terms to discussions of art appreciation. A great deal of attention has been given to processes of meaning-making as a collective, social process. In this work the main emphasis will be placed upon the individual viewer’s encounter of a work of art. To develop the concept of meaning-making, arguments from post-structuralist discourses, literature theory, pragmatist aesthetics, and the psychology of art apprehension will be considered. The relation between meaning, verbalisation, and emotion, as well as between the viewer’s constructive activity and the artist’s intentions are discussed. This work also considers how the construction of meaning is influenced by contextual elements such as biological and social factors, the latter including the influence of the gallery environment. Existing theories, viewer testimonials, artists’ statements, and both contemporary and art historical examples are examined in order to determine various approaches that facilitate meaning-making processes.

It will be argued that this interdisciplinary approach successfully brings together diverse and otherwise divided perspectives on the concept of meaning making and the meaning-making process. This research is ultimately aimed at developing a better understanding of the artist-audience relationship. It is anticipated this will proffer a resource for art educators and for other visual artists.
Nanoscale electromagnetism with the boundary element method

description: In Yang et al. [Nature 576, 248 (2019)], the authors introduced a general theoretical framework for nanoscale electromagnetism based on Feibelman parameters. Here quantum effects of the optically excited electrons at the interface between two materials are lumped into two complex-valued and frequency-dependent parameters, which can be incorporated into modified boundary conditions for Maxwell's equations, the so-called mesoscopic boundary conditions. These modifications can in principle be implemeted in any Maxwell solver, although the technicalities can be subtle and depend on the chosen computational approach. In this paper we show how to implement the mesoscopic boundary conditions in a boundary element method approach, based on a Galerkin scheme with Raviart-Thomas shape elements for the representation of the tangential electromagnetic fields at the boundary. We demonstrate that the results of our simulations are in perfect agreement with Mie theory including Feibelman parameters, and that for typical simulation scenarios the computational overhead is usually small.

Resonance-free regions for negatively curved manifolds with cusps

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Spectral Theory (math.SP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The Laplace-Beltrami operator on cusp manifolds has continuous spectrum. The resonances are complex numbers that replace the discrete spectrum of the compact case. They are the poles of a meromorphic function $φ(s)$, $s\in \mathbb{C}$, the \emph{scattering determinant}. We construct a semi-classical parametrix for this function in a half plane of $\mathbb{C}$ when the curvature of the manifold is negative. We deduce that for manifolds with one cusp, there is a zone without resonances at high frequency. This is true more generally for manifolds with several cusps and generic metrics. We also study some exceptional examples with almost explicit sequences of resonances away from the spectrum.

description: The color red has special meaning in mating-relevant contexts. Wearing red can enhance perceptions of women's attractiveness and desirability as a potential romantic partner. Building on recent findings, the present study examined whether women's (N = 74) choice to display the color red is influenced by the attractiveness of an expected opposite-sex interaction partner. Results indicated that female participants who expected to interact with an attractive man displayed red (on clothing, accessories, and/or makeup) more often than a baseline consisting of women in a natural environment with no induced expectation. In contrast, when women expected to interact with an unattractive man, they eschewed red, displaying it less often than in the baseline condition. Findings are discussed with respect to evolutionary and cultural perspectives on mate evaluation and selection.

description: We develop a template-fit method to automatically identify and classify late-type K and M dwarfs in spectra from the LAMOST. A search of the commissioning data, acquired in 2009-2010, yields the identification of 2612 late-K and M dwarfs. The template fit method also provides spectral classification to half a subtype, classifies the stars along the dwarf-subdwarf metallicity sequence, and provides improved metallicity/gravity information on a finer scale. The automated search and classification is performed using a set of cool star templates assembled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic database. We show that the stars can be efficiently classified despite shortcomings in the LAMOST commissioning data which include bright sky lines in the red. In particular we find that the absolute and relative strengths of the critical TiO and CaH molecular bands around 7000A are cleanly measured, which provides accurate spectral typing from late-K to mid-M, and makes it possible to estimate metallicities in a way that is more efficient and reliable than with the use of spectral indices or spectral-index based parameters such as zeta. Most of the cool dwarfs observed by LAMOST are found to be metal-rich dwarfs. We use a calibration of spectral type to absolute magnitude and estimate spectroscopic distances for all the stars; we also recover proper motions from the SUPERBLINK and PPMXL catalogs. Our analysis of the estimated transverse motions suggests a mean velocity and standard deviation for the UVW components of velocity to be: U=-9.8 km/s; V=-22.8 km/s; W=-7.9 km/s. The resulting values are general agreement with previous reported results, which yields confidence in our spectral classification and spectroscopic distance estimates, and illustrates the potential for using LAMOST spectra of K and M dwarfs for investigating the chemo-kinematics of the local Galactic disk and halo.

description: Determining reliable distances to classical novae is a challenging but crucial step in deriving their ejected masses and explosion energetics. Here we combine radio expansion measurements from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array with velocities derived from optical spectra to estimate an expansion parallax for nova V959 Mon, the first nova discovered through its gamma-ray emission. We spatially resolve the nova at frequencies of 4.5-36.5 GHz in nine different imaging epochs. The first five epochs cover the expansion of the ejecta from 2012 October to 2013 January, while the final four epochs span 2014 February to 2014 May. These observations correspond to days 126 through 199 and days 615 through 703 after the first detection of the nova. The images clearly show a non-spherical ejecta geometry. Utilizing ejecta velocities derived from 3D modelling of optical spectroscopy, the radio expansion implies a distance between 0.9 +/- 0.2 and 2.2 +/- 0.4 kpc, with a most probable distance of 1.4 +/- 0.4 kpc. This distance implies a gamma-ray luminosity much less than the prototype gamma-ray-detected nova, V407 Cyg, possibly due to the lack of a red giant companion in the V959 Mon system. V959 Mon also has a much lower gamma-ray luminosity than other classical novae detected in gamma-rays to date, indicating a range of at least a factor of 10 in the gamma-ray luminosities for these explosions.

description: An algebraic expression for the Preisach hysteron, which is a non-ideal (delayed) relay operator, is formulated for a computationally efficient real-time implementation. This allows representing the classical scalar Preisach hysteresis model as a summation of a large number of weighted hysterons which computation can be accomplished in parallel. The latter makes possible an efficient FPGA or ASIC realization of the scalar Preisach hysteresis model that can be useful for multiple applications. The signal flow which specifies the model implementation is provided in form of the block diagram. The proposed computation of Preisach hysterons, aggregated to the entire Preisach hysteresis model, is evaluated numerically and on a real-time hardware platform.

Cancer

description: CDK7 and FynB protein kinases have been recognized as relevant targets for cancer and brain diseases treatment due to their pivotal regulatory roles in cellular functions such as cell cycle and neural signal transduction. Several studies demonstrated that the inhibition of these proteins could be useful in altering the onset or progression of these diseases. Based on bioassay-guided approach, the extract of the marine sponge Lendenfeldia chondrodes (Thorectidae), which exhibited interesting kinase inhibitory activities, was fractionated. The investigation led to the isolation of five known 1–5 and one new 6 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Their structure elucidation was established based on spectroscopic data (NMR and HRMS) and comparison with literature data.

description: There are two different notions of holonomy in supergeometry, the supergroup introduced by Galaev and our functorial approach motivated by super Wilson loops. Either theory comes with its own version of invariance of vectors and subspaces under holonomy. By our first main result, the Twofold Theorem, these definitions are equivalent. Our proof is based on the Comparison Theorem, our second main result, which characterises Galaev's holonomy algebra as an algebra of coefficients, building on previous results. As an application, we generalise some of Galaev's results to S-points, utilising the holonomy functor. We obtain, in particular, a de Rham-Wu decomposition theorem for semi-Riemannian S-supermanifolds.

description: Plectranthus L’Hér is a large genus of Lamiaceae family comprising of ca. 300 species distributed through the tropical and warm regions of the Old-World, including Africa, from Ethiopia to Tanzania, Asia and Australia. Several species are edible, and some ones have been also used as traditional medicinal of several countries. Phytochemical investigations on non-volatile metabolites of species of this genus indicated them of source of diterpenoids with abietane, phyllocladanes, kaurene skeleton. Plectranthus ornatus Codd. is an invasive, ornamental and traditional medicinal plant native of Central-East Africa, which was spread around the world by Portuguese, especially in the Americas. In the present communication, the aerial parts of P. ornatus, identified wild for the first time in Israel, were analysed for the composition of its essential oil, using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Considerations with respect to all the other essential oils of P. ornatus accessions were carried out.

RIN ZF , a Novel Zinc Finger Gene, Encodes Proteins That Bind to the CACC Element of the Gastrin Promoter

description: Expression of gastrin, a gut hormone and growth factor, has tissue-specific transcriptional regulation and can be induced in some tumors. Previous studies have shown that a CACC cis-regulatory element is important for transcriptional activation in pancreatic insulinoma cells. To identify CACC-binding proteins, a lambda phage cDNA library derived from a rat insulinoma cell line, RIN 38A, was screened by a Southwestern method. A novel member of the Cys2-His2 zinc finger gene family was cloned and designated RIN ZF, having a cDNA sequence of 3.8 kilobases. One full-length and a shorter splice variant were sequenced and had predicted protein masses of 91.6 and 88.7 kDa. Expression of both splice forms were ubiquitous in fetal and adult rat tissues. Recombinant RIN ZF protein exhibited sequence-specific binding to the gastrin CACC element in a gel mobility shift assay. In transient transfections, both splice variants appeared to have only weak activating effects on gastrin-luciferase reporter gene transcription. Furthermore, RIN ZF coexpression with Sp1 appeared to block the strongly activating effects of Sp1 mediated through the CACC element. These findings suggest that a novel set of zinc finger proteins may help regulate gastrin gene expression by interfering with Sp1 transactivation.

description: The phytochemical investigation on the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum (syn. O. viride) has led to the isolation of a new alkaloid, diazovirid or 1,1′-(diazeno1,2-diyl) bis (ethane-1,2-diol) (1) and 2-hydroxy-D-glucal or (2 R, 3S, 4S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (2), reported for the first time as a natural product. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. The volatile constituents have also been studied by GC-FID and GC-MS leading to the characterization of compounds 3–18, respectively.
Correcting for Potential Barriers in Quantum Walk Search

description: A randomly walking quantum particle searches in Grover's $Θ(\sqrt{N})$ iterations for a marked vertex on the complete graph of $N$ vertices by repeatedly querying an oracle that flips the amplitude at the marked vertex, scattering by a "coin" flip, and hopping. Physically, however, potential energy barriers can hinder the hop and cause the search to fail, even when the amplitude of not hopping decreases with $N$. We correct for these errors by interpreting the quantum walk search as an amplitude amplification algorithm and modifying the phases applied by the coin flip and oracle such that the amplification recovers the $Θ(\sqrt{N})$ runtime.

description: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are activated by diverse extracellular signals and participate in the regulation of an array of cellular programs. In this study, we investigated the roles of MAPKs in the induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes by chemicals. Treatment of human hepatoma (HepG2) and murine hepatoma (Hepa1c1c7) cells with tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) or sulforaphane (SUL), two potent phase II enzyme inducers, stimulated the activity of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 2 (ERK2) but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1. tBHQ and SUL also activated MAPK kinase. Inhibition of MAPK kinase with its inhibitor, PD98059, abolished ERK2 activation and impaired the induction of quinone reductase, a phase II detoxifying enzyme, and antioxidant response element (ARE)-linked reporter gene by tBHQ and SUL. Overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of ERK2 also attenuated tBHQ and SUL induction of ARE reporter gene activity. Interestingly, although expression of Ras and its mutant forms showed distinct effects on basal ARE reporter gene activity, they did not affect the activation of reporter gene by the inducers. Furthermore, a dominant-negative mutant of Ras had little effect on ERK2 activation by tBHQ and SUL, implicating a Ras-independent mechanism. Indeed, both tBHQ and SUL were able to stimulate Raf-1 kinase activity in vivo as well as in vitro. Thus, our results indicate that the induction of ARE-dependent phase II detoxifying enzymes is mediated by a MAPK pathway, which may involve direct activation of Raf-1 by the inducers.
