description: We consider a generalized Jaynes-Cummings model of a two-level atom interacting with a multimode nondegenerate coherent field. The sum of the mode frequencies is equal to the two-level transition frequency, creating the resonance condition. The intermediate levels associated with the multi-photon process are adiabatically eliminated using the non-resonant conditions for these transitions. Under such general conditions, the infinite atom-multiphoton interaction is effectively mapped onto an equivalent reduced \textit{2}$\times$\textit{2} bipartite qubit system that facilitates the study of the nonclassical features of the interaction using known information-theoretic measures. We observe that the bipartite pure system is highly entangled as quantified by its entanglement of formation. Further, it is shown that the dynamics of the mapped system can be generated using optically truncated, quantum scissored states that reduce the infinite atom-multiphoton interaction to a finite \textit{2}$\times$\textit{k} system, where $k$ is a suitable truncation number. This allows us to introduce atomic dephasing and study the mixed state dynamics, characterized by the decay of quantum correlations such as quantum discord, which is observed to be more robust than entanglement. The quantum correlation dynamics of the dissipative system qualitatively complements the behavior of collapse and revival of the Rabi oscillations in the system. The effective mapping of the composite system proves to be an efficient tool for measuring information-theoretic properties.

Publisher: name: Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, University of Kentucky
Year: 1974

description: Abstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the phenomena of subcritical and supercritical spatially varied flow in rectangular expansions such as that in an erosion gully. Based on momentum and continuity principles, equations were developed to predict such flow phenomena. Computations of the water surface profiles for subcritical spatially varied flow were carried out by applying direct step numerical calculations. Because of the presence of standing waves, the method of characteristics was employed in the analytical analysis of the supercritical flow phenomena. Of primary importance in this study is the effect of varying amounts of lateral inflow rates. Other parameters varied during the experimental tests were the slope of the channel and the main channel discharge. Comparison of the analytical and experimental results indicated that for both subcritical and sμpercritical spatially varied flow, water surface profiles can be predicted with good accuracy.

description: Co(II) dissolved in acetate buffer at pH 7 is found to be a good water oxidation catalyst (WOC) showing electrocatalytic water oxidation current significantly greater than Co(II) in phosphate buffer under the same conditions owing to the higher solubility of the former. When electrodeposited on ITO/FTO electrodes it forms acetate bound cobalt(II)oxide based material (Co-Ac-WOC) showing catalytic water oxidation current density of 0.1 mA/cm$^{2}$ at 830 mV and 1 mA/cm$^{2}$ at 1 V in a pH 7 buffer solution. The morphology of Co-Ac-OEC is investigated with AFM, HR-TEM and SEM (at different times and electrodeposition potentials). The chemical composition of Co-Ac-OEC is investigated using XPS, EDX, combustion analysis and ATR-FTIR which indicates that this material has a CoO core with chloride and acetate anions bound to the Co center. Sodium is found to be integrated in the Co-Ac-WOC. The presence of the sodium ions and the chloride ions lowers the onset potential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by 240 mV relative to the classic Co-Pi at pH 7. The lower onset potential and higher OER current lowers the exchange current density to 10$^{-6.7}$ in Co-Ac-WOC relative to 10$^{-8}$-10$^{-10}$ in Co-Pi and its derivatives.

Analysis of Unsteady Flow Toward Artesian Wells by Three-Dimensional Finite Elements
Creators: name: Huang, Yang H.
name: Wu, Shen-Jyh
Publisher: name: Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, University of Kentucky
Year: 1974

description: Abstract:
A three-dimensional finite element computer program was developed for analyzing unsteady flow toward artesian wells. The program is designed especially for determining the drawdown around an artesian well penetrating fully or partially a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic aquifer of irregular shape and cross section. It can also be used as a general program for aquifer simulation and evaluation. A major advantage of the program lies in the minimum amount of input data required. By assuming the top and bottom boundaries of the aquifer as two arbitrary planes, the aquifer will be divided into six- or eight-node elements, and their nodal coordinates generated automatically. The program was well documented and can be used for solving complex problems encountered in practice.
The results of this study indicate that unsteady flow toward artesian wells can be analyzed effectively by three-dimensional finite elements. A comparison between the finite element and the exact mathematical solutions for a simple case shows that both solutions check closely. The solution obtained from the computer program for a complex case involving a nonhomogeneous aquifer was checked against that obtained previously by the use of cylindrical elements, and both are found in good agreements. The program was applied to a variety of cases, and reasonable results were obtained.

A detachable tourniquet to aid rodent tail-vasculature catheterisation; especially useful for preclinical imaging
Creators: name: Hansen, Kasper
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Rodents are frequently used animal models in biomedical research. Catheterisation of a blood vessel in the tail is often performed to enable intravascular access for administration of drugs, fluid or blood sampling. Many experimenters employ a “Minasian tourniquet” to dilate the vasculature in the tail in order to ease catheterisation. Certain experiments, e.g. those that employ preclinical imaging techniques, require relatively long catheter-tubing (~0.5 to 2 meters) to reach the rodent inside the scanner. Following catheter insertion, great care must be taken to carefully guide the loop of the tourniquet back along the entire length of the catheter. To minimise the risk of withdrawing the catheter accidentally during this step, a simple detachable tourniquet was created. This tourniquet can be removed completely and does not require careful guiding of the tourniquet-loop back along the catheter.

description: Blood lactate is a parameter used for monitoring pigs during prolonged anaesthesia. Here we compared blood lactate and glucose concentrations in nine anaesthetised laboratory pigs. Seventeen of the samples originated from a liver project and 15 from a kidney project. Mean and standard deviations of arterial blood lactate and glucose were compared with values for portal, renal and femoral veins by using paired Student’s t-test, paired Wilcoxon test as well as Spearman rank-order correlation. The study showed that lactate concentration was constant whether measured in blood from the femoral artery, portal vein, renal vein or femoral vein. The study showed that the origin of the blood sampled is not important and that changes in blood lactate concentration are likely to be the same throughout the cardiovascular system in healthy pigs.

description: Characterising the physico-chemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions is fundamental to understanding the effects of dust on climate and ecosystems. However, knowledge regarding high-latitude dust (HLD) remains limited. This study focuses on analysing the particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, cohesion, iron (Fe) mode of occurrence, and visible–near infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra of dust-emitting sediments from dust hotspots in Iceland (HLD region). Extensive analysis was conducted on samples of top sediments, sediments, and aeolian ripples collected from seven dust sources, with particular emphasis on the Jökulsá basin, encompassing the desert of Dyngjunsandur. Both fully and minimally dispersed PSDs and their respective mass median particle diameters revealed remarkable similarities (56 ± 69 and 55 ± 62 µm, respectively). Mineralogical analyses indicated the prevalence of amorphous phases (68 ± 26 %), feldspars (17 ± 13 %), and pyroxenes (9.3 ± 7.2 %), consistent with thorough analyses of VNIR reflectance spectra. The Fe content reached 9.5 ± 0.40 wt %, predominantly within silicate structures (80 ± 6.3 %), complemented by magnetite (16 ± 5.5 %), hematite/goethite (4.5 ± 2.7 %), and readily exchangeable Fe ions or Fe nano-oxides (1.6 ± 0.63 %). Icelandic top sediments exhibited coarser PSDs compared to the high dust-emitting crusts from mid-latitude arid regions, distinctive mineralogy, and a 3-fold bulk Fe content, with a significant presence of magnetite. The congruence between fully and minimally dispersed PSDs underscores reduced particle aggregation and cohesion of Icelandic top sediments, suggesting that aerodynamic entrainment of dust could also play a role upon emission in this region, alongside saltation bombardment. The extensive analysis in Dyngjusandur enabled the development of a conceptual model to encapsulate Iceland's rapidly evolving high dust-emitting environments.

description: The residue Coulomb interaction (RCI), which affects the results of symmetry energy of neutron-rich nucleus in isobaric yield ratio (IYR) methods, is difficult to be determined. Four RCI approximations are investigated: (1) the M1--RCI adopting the $a_{c}/T$ (the ratio of Coulomb energy coefficient to temperature) determined from the IYR of mirror-nuclei fragment; (2) the M2--RCI by fitting the difference between IYRs; (3) the M3--RCI by adopting the standard Coulomb energy at a temperature $T=2$MeV; and (4) neglecting the RCI among the three isobars. The M1--, M2-- and M3--RCI is found to no larger than 0.4. In particular, the M2--RCI is very close to zero. The effects of RCI in the $a_{sym}/T$ of fragment are also studied. The M1-- and M4--$a_{sym}/T$ are found to be the lower and upper limitations of $a_{sym}/T$, respectively. The M2--$a_{sym}/T$ overlaps the M4--$a_{sym}/T$, which indicates that the M2--RCI is negligible, at the same time the RCI among the three isobars can be neglected. A relative consistent low values of M3--$a_{sym}/T$ ($7.5\pm2.5$) are found in very neutron-rich isobars.

description: There is limited information on safe and effective neonatal rodent analgesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and duration of analgesia provided by buprenorphine (Bup) and lidocaine (Lid) in an incisional pain model. Male and female postnatal day three Sprague Dawley rat pups (n=40) were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups: 1) Saline - 0.1 ml subcutaneous (SC)/0.01 ml saline incisional infiltration; 2) BupL - 0.025 mg/kg Bup, SC/0.01 ml saline infiltration; 3) BupH - 0.05 mg/kg Bup, SC/0.01 ml saline infiltration; 4) LidL - 2 mg/kg lidocaine infiltration/0.1 ml saline SC; and 5) LidH - LDC 4 mg/kg lidocaine infiltration/0.1 ml saline SC. Rat pups were anesthetized with sevoflurane by mask, and a 1-cm full thickness skin incision was made over the left lateral thigh. Infiltration of lidocaine or saline occurred prior to wound closure with surgical glue. Baseline thermal latency was measured 24 hr prior to surgery, and subsequently 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48-hrs post-operatively using an infrared diode laser. Thermal latency in the Saline group was significantly reduced compared to baseline up to the 4 hr timepoint. Both BupL and BupH attenuated thermal hypersensitivity for at least 4 hours in this model. LidL attenuated thermal hypersensitivity for 1 hr and LidH failed to attenuate thermal hypersensitivity. No abnormal clinical signs were noted for all treatment groups throughout the study. In summary, a single pre-operative dose of buprenorphine 0.025 to 0.05 mg/kg (SC) effectively attenuated postoperative thermal hypersensitivity in 3-day old neonatal rat incisional pain model for 4 hours.

Year: 2020

description: This study investigated welfare, mechanical hyperalgesia and model specific parameters (mobility, stance, joint stiffness and ambulation impairment) during a three-week period in a rat model of monoarthritis. The objective was to identify possible targets for refinement of the model and consequently improve animal welfare. Monoarthritis was induced in eight male Sprague-Dawley rats by an intra-articular injection of 20 µL Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA containing heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in the left tibio-tarsal joint. The effects on subjects were monitored daily and compared to a negative control group. The induced monoarthritic response consisted of pronounced acute inflammation observed as joint swelling, redness and temperature rise in the injected hind leg. Several parameters such as bodyweight, mobility, stance, stiffness and ambulation were also affected. All CFA-injected rats demonstrated a significantly higher nociceptive response in an electronic von Frey test throughout the study, with a markedly lower mechanical threshold in the first three days after injection. Complete Freund’s Adjuvant was sufficient to induce monoarthritis in all CFA-injected rats. It is concluded that more attention should be paid to alleviating pain in the acute phase where the animal’s well-being appears to be most compromised, and that an injection volume of 20 µL CFA is sufficient to induce monoarthritis in the tibio-tarsal joint.

description: This study describes the welfare and animals used for scientific and educational purposes in the field of laboratory animal sciences in Algeria. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the status of the care and use of animals and to improve implementing plans and animal welfare measures. A literature review was performed using online databases and reference lists of the US National Library of Medicine to assess the prevalence of animal use for research in Algeria between 2013 and 2017. Also a retrospective study was conducted using the Pasteur Institute of Algeria report for 2015 to assess the prevalence of animal use in both teaching and research. The first workshop on animal experimentation was organized in 2013 in collaboration with international animal laboratory organizations (ICLAS and OIE) and involving the participation of universities, research centers, veterinary schools and the Pasteur Institute of Algeria. In addition, after accreditation of the Algerian Association of Experimental Animal Sciences, a number of training workshops and courses relating to laboratory animal sciences were organized. In Algeria the use of laboratory animals in research and education is a subject of debate regarding the need to establish regulations and to propose an appropriate ethical framework for the use of animals. Finally, some actions have been already taken in Algeria to promote the ethical use of animals but many more sustainable actions are needed and require cooperation, harmonization of policies and establishment of regional and international networks for experience exchange.

description: Levrat’s rat model is often the first choice for basic studies of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The position of the tracheal bifurcation represents the preferred location for the high-intrathoracic anastomosis following oesophagectomy for cancer and is thus of importance in basic research of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. In addition, it is also the typical location for trachea-oesophageal fistulae in congenital oesophageal atresia and its rat model. We thus analysed whether the position of the tracheal bifurcation would be affected by a rat’s growth throughout life. We analysed absolute and relative carinal position of the tracheal bifurcation and its relationship to oesophageal length in two cohorts of Sprague Dawley rats (RjHan:SD) of both sexes: one consisted of 30 eight-week old rats and the other of 20 rats aged between 15 and 444 days. We analysed their relationship by Pearson’s r and univariate linear regression. Bootstrap confidence intervals were calculated for all calculated coefficients. Absolute carinal position correlated with oesophageal length in the eight-week old cohort (r=0.4, 95% CI: 0.08-0.71, p=0.015) and those of different ages (r=0.92, 95% CI: 0.77-0.96, p=0.0066). Absolute carinal position increased with oesophageal length in both cohorts (F(1,28)=5.56; p=0.0256 and F(1,18)=94.93; p<0.0001 respectively). Consequently, relative tracheal bifurcation position was not influenced by oesophageal length in both cohorts (F(1,28)=2.49; p=0.1257 and F(1,18)=1.92; p=0.183). Absolute carinal position increased with oesophageal length, but relative position remained constant at around 30% of proximal oesophageal length throughout life.

description: The distributed computing infrastructure (DCI) on the basis of BOINC and EDGeS-bridge technologies for high-performance distributed computing is used for porting the sequential molecular dynamics (MD) application to its parallel version for DCI with Desktop Grids (DGs) and Service Grids (SGs). The actual metrics of the working DG-SG DCI were measured, and the normal distribution of host performances, and signs of log-normal distributions of other characteristics (CPUs, RAM, and HDD per host) were found. The practical feasibility and high efficiency of the MD simulations on the basis of DG-SG DCI were demonstrated during the experiment with the massive MD simulations for the large quantity of aluminum nanocrystals ($\sim10^2$-$10^3$). Statistical analysis (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, moment analysis, and bootstrapping analysis) of the defect density distribution over the ensemble of nanocrystals had shown that change of plastic deformation mode is followed by the qualitative change of defect density distribution type over ensemble of nanocrystals. Some limitations (fluctuating performance, unpredictable availability of resources, etc.) of the typical DG-SG DCI were outlined, and some advantages (high efficiency, high speedup, and low cost) were demonstrated. Deploying on DG DCI allows to get new scientific $\it{quality}$ from the simulated $\it{quantity}$ of numerous configurations by harnessing sufficient computational power to undertake MD simulations in a wider range of physical parameters (configurations) in a much shorter timeframe.

description: The determination of the microscopic dose-damage relationship for DNA in an aqueous environment is of a fundamental interest for dosimetry and applications in radiation therapy and protection. We combine geant4 particle-scattering simulations in water with calculations concerning the movement of biomolecules to obtain the energy deposit in the biologically relevant nanoscopic volume. We juxtaposition these results to the experimentally determined damage to obtain the dose-damage relationship at a molecular level. This approach is tested for an experimentally challenging system concerning the direct irradiation of plasmid DNA (pUC19) in water with electrons as primary particles. Here a microscopic target model for the plasmid DNA based on the relation of lineal energy and radiation quality is used to calculate the effective target volume. It was found that on average fewer than two ionizations within a 7.5-nm radius around the sugar-phosphate backbone are sufficient to cause a single strand break, with a corresponding median lethal energy deposit being E1/2=6±4 eV. The presented method is applicable for ionizing radiation (e.g., γ rays, x rays, and electrons) and a variety of targets, such as DNA, proteins, or cells.

description: The generation of a matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe may be induced by the propagation of fermions in non-trivial, spherically asymmetric (and hence Lorentz violating) gravitational backgrounds. Such backgrounds may characterise the epoch of the early universe. The key point in these models is that the background induces different dispersion relations, hence populations, between fermions and antifermions, and thus CPT Violation (CPTV) appears in thermal equilibrium. Species populations may freeze out leading to leptogenesis and baryogenesis. We consider here a string-inspired scenario, in which the CPTV is associated with a cosmological background with torsion provided by the Kalb-Ramond (KR) antisymemtric tensor field of the string gravitational multiplet. In a four-dimensional space time this field is dual to a pseudoscalar ``axion-like'' field. The mixing of the KR field with an ordinary axion field can lead to the generation of a Majorana neutrino mass.

Housing behaviour of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) under laboratory conditions

description: The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a rodent that has gained importance as a biomedical research model for various conditions including hypoxic brain injury, cancer and nociception. It is captured from the wild and housed under laboratory conditions during research. Much is unknown about how to optimize housing conditions for the animals in captivity. This study was designed to establish whether the animals will replicate in the laboratory their natural behaviour of having separate resting, waste disposal and eating areas. A total of 52 naked mole rats were kept in four colonies of different sizes and housed in two types of cage design. It was found that, in all four colonies, their behavior was similar to that in the wild with regards to separating their resting, eating, defecation and urination areas. Urination and defecation commonly occurred in the outer corners of the cages while resting and eating mostly occurred in the inner parts of the cages. Average daily feed consumption was 7.6 grams per naked mole rat. Weekly weight gain averaged 0.44 grams per naked mole rat. In this study, the four colonies of naked mole rats behaved similarly in their selection of resting, waste disposal and eating area. However, additional studies are needed to investigate further whether these behaviours can be affected by colony origin, colony size or cage size. The results of our study indicate that resting, eating and waste disposal behaviours need to be taken into consideration when housing naked mole rats, to optimize the comfort of these animals in captivity.

Whitney towers, Gropes and Casson-Gordon style invariants of links

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Friedl and Powell that their Casson-Gordon type invariant of 2-component link with linking number one is actually an obstruction to being height 3.5 Whitney tower/grope concordant to the Hopf Link. The proof employs the notion of solvable cobordism of 3-manifolds with boundary, which was introduced by Cha. We also prove that the Blanchfield form and the Alexander polynomial of links in $S^3$ give obstructions to height 3 Whitney tower/grope concordance. This generalizes the results of Hillman and Kawauchi.

Self-regulating genes. Exact steady state solution by using Poisson Representation

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Subcellular Processes (q-bio.SC)

description: Systems biology studies the structure and behavior of complex gene regulatory networks. One of its aims is to develop a quantitative understanding of the modular components that constitute such networks. The self-regulating gene is a type of auto regulatory genetic modules which appears in over 40% of known transcription factors in E. coli. In this work, using the technique of Poisson Representation, we are able to provide exact steady state solutions for this feedback model. By using the methods of synthetic biology (P.E.M. Purnick and Weiss, R., Nature Reviews, Molecular Cell Biology, 2009, 10: 410-422) one can build the system itself from modules like this.

Gaussian Representations for Differentiable Rendering and Optimization

description: In this thesis, we explore some fast, robust and efficient methods that are generally useful across many domains. Specifically, we explore the use of Gaussian Representations in multiple application areas of computer vision and robotics. In the first part, we provide an alternative approach to the classic hidden surface problem. In particular, we design a ray-based differentiable renderer for 3D Gaussians that can be used to solve multiple classic computer vision problems in a unified manner. For example, we can reconstruct 3D shapes from color, silhouette or optical flow, based solely on gradient-based optimization; these reconstructions are robust to input errors and reasonably fast (taking a few minutes on a laptop CPU). Similarly, we can solve for precise camera pose estimates for known objects, comparable to the quality given by classic methods. Our contributions include an alternative formulation of the hidden surface problem that sacrifices fidelity for utility, thereby obtaining fast runtimes and high-quality gradient information. We extend this renderer with differentiable optical flow and show how to export colored meshes from the reconstructions. We show examples on naturally collected videos of everyday objects.We will also cover our work on obtaining 3D Gaussian representations directly from meshes, without the need for sampling point sets. In another line of our research, we show how Gaussian representations provide a powerful underlying representation for gradient-free optimization of classic algorithms in robotics such as stereoscopic depth matching, motion planning, visual odometry, and social navigation. We develop techniques for performing optimization based on user preferences and based on dataset variation. We show how Gaussian representations can be tuned directly from user preferences, without the need for ground-truth collection or fine-tuned metric design. Additionally, we show these optimizers can discover multiple algorithm configurations for potentially different environments, based solely on the algorithm responding to sampled configurations. Lastly, we will touch on a novel regression-based, citation-free alternative to citation metrics for analyzing academic contributions.

description: Coevolutionary minimal substrates are simple and abstract models that allow studying the relationships and codynamics between objective and subjective fitness. Using these models an approach is presented for defining and analyzing fitness landscapes of coevolutionary problems. We devise similarity measures of codynamic fitness landscapes and experimentally study minimal substrates of test--based and compositional problems for both cooperative and competitive interaction.

Spin-Charge Soldering from Tensor Higgs mechanism

description: Spin-charge separation, a crucial ingredient in 2D models of strongly correlated systems, in mostly considered in condensed matter applications. In this paper we present a relativistic field-theoretic model in which charged particles of spin 1/2 emerge by soldering spinless charges and magnetic vortices in a confinement quantum phase transition modelled as a tensor Higgs mechanism. The model involves two gauge fields, a vector one and a two-form gauge field interacting by the topological BF term. When this tensor gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken charges are soldered to the ends of magnetic vortices and thus confined by a linear potential. If the vector potential has a topological $θ$-term with value $θ= π$, the constituents of this "meson" acquire spin 1/2 in this transition.
