description: We perform a likelihood analysis of the constraints from accelerator experiments and astrophysical observations on supersymmetric (SUSY) models with SU(5) boundary conditions on soft SUSY-breaking parameters at the GUT scale. The parameter space of the models studied has 7 parameters: a universal gaugino mass $m_{1/2}$, distinct masses for the scalar partners of matter fermions in five- and ten-dimensional representations of SU(5), $m_5$ and $m_{10}$, and for the $\mathbf{5}$ and $\mathbf{\bar 5}$ Higgs representations $m_{H_u}$ and $m_{H_d}$, a universal trilinear soft SUSY-breaking parameter $A_0$, and the ratio of Higgs vevs $\tan β$. In addition to previous constraints from direct sparticle searches, low-energy and flavour observables, we incorporate constraints based on preliminary results from 13 TeV LHC searches for jets + MET events and long-lived particles, as well as the latest PandaX-II and LUX searches for direct Dark Matter detection. In addition to previously-identified mechanisms for bringing the supersymmetric relic density into the range allowed by cosmology, we identify a novel ${\tilde u_R}/{\tilde c_R} - \tildeχ^0_1$ coannihilation mechanism that appears in the supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model and discuss the role of ${\tilde ν_τ}$ coannihilation. We find complementarity between the prospects for direct Dark Matter detection and SUSY searches at the LHC.

description: The aims of the present study were to determine whether short term high intensity interval training (HIIT) could protect the heart against ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury; and if so, to evaluate how long the exercise-associated protection can be lasted. Sixty-three rats were randomly assigned into sedentary (n = 15), sham (n = 7), and exercise groups (n = 41). Rats in the exercise groups performed 5 consecutive days of HIIT on treadmill: 5 min warm up with 50 % VO2max, 6×2min with 95-105 % VO2max (about 40 to 45 m/min), 5×2 min recovery with 65-75 % VO2max (about 28 to 32 m/min), and 3 min cool down with 50 % VO2max, all at 0 % grade. Animals exposed to an in vivo cardiac IR surgery, performed at days 1, 7, and 14 following the final exercise session. Ischemia-induced arrhythmias, myocardial infarct size (IS), plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) activities were measured in all animals. Compared to sedentary rats, exercised animals sustained less IR injury as evidenced by a lower size of infarction and lower levels of LDH and CK at day one and day 7 post exercise. In comparison of sedentary group, IS significantly decreased in EX-IR1 and EX-IR7 groups (50 and 35 %, respectively), but not in EX-IR14 group (19 %). The exercise-induced cardioprotection disappeared 14 days following exercise cessation. There were no significant changes in ischemia-induced arrhythmia between exercised and sedentary rats. The results clearly demonstrate that HIIT protects the heart against myocardial IR injury. This protective effect can be sustained for at least one week following the cessation of the training.

description: Etoposide derives from podophyllotoxin, a toxin found in the American Mayapple. It was first synthesized in 1966 and approved for cancer therapy in 1983 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Hande, 1998). Starting from 1980s several studies demonstrated that etoposide targets DNA topoisomerase II activities thus leading to the production of DNA breaks and eliciting a response that affects several aspects of cell metabolisms. In this review we will focus on molecular mechanisms that account for the biological effect of etoposide.

title: Understanding the Influence of Discrimination in the Graduate Employment Market for English Language Teachers in China: Lessons for Higher Education Institutions.
Creators: name: Jones, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: Higher education institutions are under pressure to maximise student employability. However, the realities of graduate employment, and the criteria upon which employers select candidates, is complex. Higher education often promotes meritocratic rewards, however real-world hiring decisions are subjective and sometimes discriminatory. Equally complex is the division of responsibilities and accountabilities between different university departments, including Careers Service Offices. This study seeks to advise higher education institutions how they can better prepare students for the discrimination that they may encounter in graduate employment markets, specifically that for English language teachers in China. This study adopts an interpretivist methodology. It utilises interviews and surveys to gather comprehensive qualitative and quantitative data on the experiences of graduates with discrimination in the English teaching industry in China. This research builds upon ample literature discussing discrimination both within the global English language teaching industry and within China. Although factors such as age, weight, and sexuality emerge as pivotal to some individual experiences, the most common themes to emerge relate to discrimination based upon ethnicity and first-language. Through the research and existing literature we identify the value judgements idealising the ‘native speaker’, and the broader challenges of racism in China. This study looks at the relative influence of factors such as qualifications and experience compared to demographic factors such as ethnicity in employment decisions, while asking graduates how well they feel they were prepared for the realities of discrimination in the employment market by their higher education institutions. The study seeks to develop a broad understanding of the varied experiences and opinions of graduates, and as such cannot guarantee a full picture of person-independent reality. Nevertheless, the experiences identified are real and are likely to be shared by future graduates entering the same context. This study concludes with a series of recommendations for higher education institutions, including that; they should consider mandatory, or voluntary, courses to advise future graduates on finding employment, both locally, and internationally; they should overtly discuss discrimination in the job market with all students; they should overtly address differences between discrimination in the domestic and international employment markets; and they should directly address the unique challenges of international job-seeking, and issues of culture-shock when pursuing international careers.
Performance of algorithms that reconstruct missing transverse momentum in $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV proton-proton collisions in the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The reconstruction and calibration algorithms used to calculate missing transverse momentum ($E_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$) with the ATLAS detector exploit energy deposits in the calorimeter and tracks reconstructed in the inner detector as well as the muon spectrometer. Various strategies are used to suppress effects arising from additional proton-proton interactions, called pileup, concurrent with the hard-scatter processes. Tracking information is used to distinguish contributions from the pileup interactions using their vertex separation along the beam axis. The performance of the $E_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$ reconstruction algorithms, especially with respect to the amount of pileup, is evaluated using data collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV during 2012, and results are shown for a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$. The results of simulation modelling of $E_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$ in events containing a $Z$ boson decaying to two charged leptons (electrons or muons) or a $W$ boson decaying to a charged lepton and a neutrino is compared to data. The acceptance for different event topologies, with and without high transverse momentum neutrinos, is shown for a range of threshold criteria for $E_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$, and estimates of the systematic uncertainties in the $E_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$ measurements are presented.

title: Agent Academic: Towards an understanding of experiences in innovative practice for evolving academia
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Helene
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: The academic climate is challenging on so many levels arising from the research-teaching nexus, changes amongst the student body, appointments and distribution of resourcing, and an increasingly complex digitally connected world. To this extent, an innovative lens is necessary for evolving educational practice. It contributes to alternative perspectives in teaching and learning that ultimately seek to provide more effective means of doing so. Irrespective of its locale, novel and innovative educational solutions can advance knowledge and acquisition for learning, accreditation, and socialisation. Innovative practice is essential in higher education, but how does it evolve, and what contributes to this? This research aims to explore this practice of innovativeness through the lens of individual academics and develop an understanding of alternative approaches in higher education and the processes and influences in that journey. How might an account of different experiences within higher education contribute to evolving ways of academic practice? How might this benefit higher education? Assuming alternative experiences in evolving innovative practice exist, I used an interpretive phenomenological approach (IPA) to explore the phenomenon at an international level, including multiple disciplines, institutions, and locations. In addition, 15 online interviews with self-declared innovative practitioners were conducted via ZOOM. An existing innovation framework was used to design the interview schedule and lend structure to the investigation. Inductive and deductive analysis revealed key themes aligned with the individual, innovation, processes, and influences shaping new practice. Academics, regardless of context, innovate in different ways. However, agency is revealed as critical to innovative practice and innovating, irrespective of the outcome. This study proposes extending the original framework to recognising recognise agency, awareness, and motivation as antecedents to achieving innovation. Enabling academics to develop high levels of agency alongside a culture of innovativeness can contribute to academia's sustainability in evolving meaningful practice. Furthermore, acknowledging agency has implications for how individual academics are managed, developed, and led, such that they can cultivate an agency that aligns with educational needs in this changing world. This study provides additional insights into variables and conditions for innovative practice and directions for future research. Keywords: Agency, innovative practice, ways of innovating, innovation, culture of innovativeness, evolving innovative practice, innovation process, conditions for innovative practice

description: Dark energy models and modified gravity theories have been actively studied and the behaviors in the solar system have been also carefully investigated in a part of the models. However, the isotropic solutions of the field equations in the simple models of dark energy, e.g. quintessence model without matter coupling, have not been well investigated. One of the reason would be the nonlinearity of the field equations. In this paper, a method to evaluate the solution of the field equations is constructed, and it is shown that there is a model that can easily pass the solar system tests, whereas, there is also a model that is constrained from the solar system tests.

description: In environmental sciences, it is often of interest to assess whether the dependence between extreme measurements has changed during the observation period. The aim of this work is to propose a statistical test that is particularly sensitive to such changes. The resulting procedure is also extended to allow the detection of changes in the extreme-value dependence under the presence of known breaks in the marginal distributions. Simulations are carried out to study the finite-sample behavior of both versions of the proposed test. Illustrations on hydrological data sets conclude the work.

title: Investigating epistemic cognition in Japanese university English majors
Creators: name: Smiley, Jim
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: Fourth-year undergraduate students' graduation theses in a Department of a Japanese University frequently fail to exhibit characteristics of sophisticated epistemic cognition. Theses that show one-sided arguments that neglect to question the truth value of any evidence used in support of a thesis' claim, or to include limitations to claims in the form of analysing the evidence or discussing counter-arguments, are the norm. Prior research has indicated a significant relationship between students' epistemic cognition and their academic output. This thesis explores the influence of a targeted pedagogic intervention in epistemic cognition in undergraduate Japanese student writers, asking the research question, ``How do Japanese University English Majors experience and think about knowledge in terms of epistemic cognition?'' A literature review found that information about the epistemic cognitive processes used by Japanese third-year undergraduate students preparing for graduation thesis writing is mostly unknown. A purposive sample of nine Japanese third-year English major undergraduates was invited to participate. These students wrote in their second language (English). Three forms of data were generated in this project: semi-structured interview texts, pre- and post-intervention writing samples and online discussion board texts. A qualitative approach utilising template analysis was used on the semi-structured interview and discussion board texts, and the pre- and post-writing samples were analysed for epistemic cognition. At the commencement of the intervention, participants' beliefs could be established at the group level. These were at the upper naive end of the epistemic cognitive continuum. However, by the end of the intervention, beliefs became more fragmentary with some participants developing more educationally availing multiplistic beliefs, which is shown in the movement away from strong beliefs in fixed authority-led truth claims towards the acceptance of multiple perspectives. Participants at both time points expressed strong beliefs in the nature of knowledge as being either factual or opinions. I conclude that development towards multiplism is possible within a fifteen-week pedagogic intervention. Additionally, a fact/opinion knowledge structure permeates beliefs and provides some reasons for the lack of epistemic focus in academic writing. The small sample size inhibits a generalisation of these results. Moreover, the variation in epistemic cognition between participants at the end of the intervention suggests that more research is required to achieve a fuller characterisation of epistemic cognitive processes in third-year Japanese undergraduates.

description: Black holes (BHs) surrounded by accretion disks are present in the Universe at different scales of masses, from microquasars up to the active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The current picture remains ad hoc due to the complexity of the magnetic field action. In addition, accretion disks at high Eddington rates can be radiation-pressure dominated and, according to some of the heating prescriptions, thermally unstable. The observational verification of their resulting variability patterns may shed light on both the role of radiation pressure and magnetic fields. We compute the structure and time evolution of an accretion disk, using the code GLADIS (which models the global accretion disk instability). We supplement this model with a modified viscosity prescription, which can to some extent describe the magnetisation of the disk. We study the results for a large grid of models, to cover the whole parameter space, and we derive conclusions separately for different scales of black hole masses, which are characteristic for various types of cosmic sources. We show the dependencies between the flare or outburst duration, its amplitude, and period, on the accretion rate and viscosity scaling. We show that if the heating rate in the accretion disk grows more rapidly with the total pressure and temperature, the instability results in longer and sharper flares. In general, we confirm that the disks around the supermassive black holes are more radiation-pressure dominated and present relatively brighter bursts. Our method can also be used as an independent tool for the black hole mass determination, which we confront now for the intermediate black hole in the source HLX-1.

Simple solutions of fireball hydrodynamics for rotating and expanding triaxial ellipsoids and final state observables

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a class of analytic solutions of non-relativistic fireball hydrodynamics for a fairly general class of equation of state. The presented solution describes the expansion of a triaxial ellipsoid that rotates around one of the principal axes. We calculate the hadronic final state observables such as single-particle spectra, directed, elliptic and third flows, as well as HBT correlations and corresponding radius parameters, utilizing simple analytic formulas. We call attention to the fact that the final tilt angle of the fireball, an important observable quantity, is not independent on the exact definition of it: one gets different angles from the single-particle spectra and from HBT measurements. Taken together, it is pointed out that these observables may be sufficient for the determination of the magnitude of the rotation of the fireball. We argue that observing this rotation and its dependence on collision energy would reveal the softness of the equation of state. Thus determining the rotation may be a powerful tool for the experimental search for the critical point in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter.

description: β-Glucosidase is an important component of the cellulase complex. It not only hydrolyzes cellobiose and short-chain cellooligos accharides to glucose, but also removes the inhibitory effect of cellobiose on the β-1, 4-endoglucanase and exoglucanase, thereby increasing the overall rate of cellulose biodegradation. β-glucosidasefrom culture supernatant of a fungus Penicillium simplicissimum was purified to homogeneity, by using ammonium sulfate fraction, Sephadex G-100 chromatography, and its properties were studied. The molecular mass of the enzyme was about 126.0 kDa, as identified by 12% SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature were 4.4 ~ 5.2 and 60°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable in pH 5.2 ~ 6.4 and under 40°C. Metal profile of the enzyme showed that Mn2+ enhances its activity, while Cu2+, Co2+ and Fe3+ cause obvious inhibition. The Km and Vmax was 14.881 mg/ml and 0.364 mg ml/min against salicin as a Substrate. This enzyme had secondary protein structure as evidenced by FTIR spectrum.

description: In an era of extensive photometric observations, the catalogs of RR Lyr type variable stars number tens of thousands of objects. The relation between the iron abundance [Fe/H] and the Fourier parameters of the stars light curve allows us to investigate mean metallicities and metallicity gradients in various stellar environments, independently of time-consuming spectroscopic observations. In this paper we use almost 6500 $V$- and $I$-band light curves of fundamental mode RR Lyr stars from the OGLE-IV survey to provide a relation between the $V$- and $I$-band phase parameter $φ_{31}$ used to estimate [Fe/H]. The relation depends on metallicity, which limits its applicability. We apply this relation to metallicity formulae developed for the Johnson $V$- and the Kepler $Kp$-band to obtain the relation between [Fe/H] and $φ_{31}$ for the $I$-band photometry. Last, we apply the new relation of Nemec to the OGLE-IV fundamental mode RR Lyr stars data and construct a metallicity map of the Magellanic Clouds. Median [Fe/H] is $-1.39\pm0.44$ dex for the LMC and $-1.77\pm0.48$ dex for the SMC, on the Jurcsik metallicity scale. We also find a metallicity gradient within the LMC with a slope of $-0.029\pm0.002$ dex/kpc in the inner 5 kpc and $-0.030 \pm0.003$ dex/kpc beyond 8 kpc, and no gradient in-between ($-0.019\pm0.002$ dex/kpc integrally). We do not observe a metallicity gradient in the SMC, although we show that the metal-rich RRab stars are more concentrated toward the SMC center than the metal-poor.

description: Το πιο σημαντικό στοιχείο για την ορθή και εύρυθμη λειτουργία ενός οργανισμού είναι το ανθρώπινο δυναμικό που τον αποτελεί. Το μέχρι πρότινος σύστημα διαχείρισης ανθρώπινου δυναμικού παρουσίαζε περιορισμούς στις ευκαιρίες σταδιοδρομίας και ανέλιξης του προσωπικού, στην επιβράβευση της επαγγελματικής ευσυνειδησίας και επάρκειας, στα μισθολογικά κίνητρα. Η Ανεξάρτητη Αρχή Δημοσίων Εσόδων προκειμένου να επιτελέσει το ρόλο της στη λειτουργία του Κράτους, εφαρμόζοντας βέλτιστες πρακτικές των αναπτυγμένων φορολογικών και τελωνειακών διοικήσεων, προχώρησε στη θέσπιση ενός σύγχρονου συστήματος διαχείρισης ανθρώπινου δυναμικού. Το σύστημα αυτό στηρίζεται σε τέσσερις πυλώνες, οι οποίοι είναι το, η διαχείριση της απόδοσης, το σύστημα αμοιβών και η πορεία σταδιοδρομίας. Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να παρουσιάσει και να αξιολογήσει το νέο αυτό Σύστημα Διαχείρισης Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού και να ερευνήσει κατά πόσο έχουν επιτευχθεί οι στόχοι τους οποίους επιδιώκει. Ειδικότερα θα μελετηθεί η επάρκεια των παρεχόμενων κινήτρων από το νέο σύστημα, η ικανοποίηση των εργαζομένων από τη σύνδεση των περιγραμμάτων θέσεων εργασίας με το βαθμολόγιο, η αντικειμενικότητα του συστήματος αξιολόγησής και η σύνδεσή του με την επαγγελματική εξέλιξη των εργαζομένων. Η έρευνα διενεργήθηκε μέσω ερωτηματολογίου σε δείγμα ευκαιρίας, αποτελούμενο από εφοριακούς μόνιμους υπαλλήλους της ΑΑΔΕ. Το δείγμα αποτελείται από 200 άτομα. Από την έρευνα προκύπτει ότι το νέο σύστημα διαχείρισης ανθρώπινου δυναμικού που θεσπίστηκε από την ΑΑΔΕ τίθεται υπό αμφισβήτηση από την πλειοψηφία των ερωτώμενων, οι οποίοι είναι επιφυλακτικοί απέναντί του. Χρειάζεται σίγουρα χρόνος προσαρμογής και διορθωτικές κινήσεις εκ μέρους της Διοίκησης προκειμένου να χαρακτηριστεί το νέο Σύστημα Διαχείρισης Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού αποτελεσματικό.

description: Rice blast disease caused by the fungus Pyricularia oryzae is one of the most devastating diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Therefore, the use of resistant rice varieties would be the most effective way to control this disease. Based on disease evaluation, upland rice varieties were classified into two groups: resistant (35%) and moderately resistant (65%). Forty upland rice varieties and two lowland rice varieties were genotyped for seven major rice blast resistance genes Pi37, Pid2, Pi9, Pi36(t), Pi5, Pik-m, and Pi54. The gene frequencies of the seven major R genes ranged from 2.38% to 100%. The 42 varieties contained one to five R genes. Two varieties had five blast resistance genes, whereas 21 varieties contained four R genes, 15 varieties contained three R genes, 3 varieties contained two R genes, and only one variety contained one R gene. Furthermore, the relationship between the presence of different R genes and disease reactions was investigated using a multiple stepwise regression model. Three markers, Pi5, Pi54MAS, and Ckm2, for three R genes (Pi5, Pi54, and Pik-m) were moderately correlated with blast disease with partial correlation coefficients of 0.35 to 0.47. These results provide new sources of resistance genes for designing future breeding program to develop leaf blast-resistant rice varieties.

description: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that has been reported to inhibit growth of multiple tumor cell types in vitro. The present study was assessing the cytogenetic effects of this drug on Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. All experiments were performed in triplicate. The IC50 was 22.5 ± 0.8 μg/ml. To investigate the clastogenic effects of drug, chromosomal aberration in metaphase cells were analyzed. Chromatid breaks and polyploidy were the main types of aberration. Mitomycin-C and sodium arsenite were used as positive controls. CHO cells were exposed to different concentration of drug (5, 10, 15, 20 μg/ml) in 24 hours. All of the study aberrations and frequency of aberrant cells significantly increased as a function of digoxin concentration (for chromatid breaks: r = 0.881, df = 13, P < 0.001; for polyploidy: r = 0.777, df = 13, P = 0.001; for cells with aberrations: r = 0.926, df = 13, P < 0.001). The mitotic index negatively correlated with the concentration of digoxin (r = -0.978, df = 13, P < 0.001). All concentrations that cause chromosomal aberrations are in the cytotoxic range of the drug. The peak serum digoxin concentration (5 - 20 ng/ml) was very lower than concentrations we used in the present experiments. Further studies on valuation of chromatid breaks, micronuclei, and sister chromatid exchange in lymphocytes of patients who received digoxin, were recommended.

description: Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models can be used to predict the activity of new drug candidates in early stages of drug discovery. In the present study, the information of the ninety two 2,5-diaminobenzophenone-containing farnesyltranaferase inhibitors (FTIs) were taken from the literature. Subsequently, the structures of the molecules were optimized using Hyperchem software and molecular descriptors were obtained using Dragon software. The most suitable descriptors were selected using genetic algorithms-partial least squares and stepwise regression, where exhibited that the volume, shape and polarity of the FTIs are important for their activities. The two-dimensional QSAR models (2D-QSAR) were obtained using both linear methods (multiple linear regression) and non-linear methods (artificial neural networks and support vector machines). The proposed QSAR models were validated using internal validation method. The results showed that the proposed 2D-QSAR models were valid and they can be used for prediction of the activities of the 2,5-diaminobenzophenone-containing FTIs. In conclusion, the 2D-QSAR models (both linear and non-linear) showed good prediction capability and the non-linear models were exhibited more accuracy than the linear models.
