description: Prenatal arsenic exposure is associated with adverse birth outcomes and disease risk later in life, which could be mediated through epigenetic dysregulation. We evaluated the association between arsenic and gestational age (GA) that was mediated through DNA methylation (DNAm) using data from a Bangladeshi birth cohort. Arsenic exposure was measured in maternal drinking water at ≤16 weeks GA and maternal toenails collected ≤1 month postpartum. Cord blood DNAm was measured using Infinium HumanMethylation450 arrays (n = 44, discovery phase). Top loci identified in the discovery phase were then pyrosequenced in a second group (n = 569, validation phase). Structural equation models (SEM) evaluated the direct and indirect effects of arsenic and DNAm on GA. In the discovery phase, arsenic was associated with differential DNAm of 139 loci that were associated with GA (P −6; |β regression|>0.10). Each doubling in water arsenic concentration decreased GA by 2 days, which was fully mediated through the main principal component of the top-ten CpGs (P miR214-3 and MCC DNAm on GA. In an adjusted SEM model, mediation of the association between arsenic and GA by miR124-3 was borderline significant (P = 0.061). This study therefore identified DNAm at specific loci in cord blood that mediated the effect of arsenic exposure on GA. Specifically, prenatal arsenic exposure was associated with lower methylation of miR124-3 that mediated the exposure-response of arsenic on GA. Future research should evaluate if these epigenetic changes are persistent and associated with disease risk.
title: Nationalism in the Digital Age: Fun as a Metapractice of Extreme Speech
Creators: name: Udupa, Sahana
Publisher: name: University of Southern California
Year: 2019

description: Critical assessments of the recent resurgence of right-wing nationalism have rightly highlighted the role of social media in these troubling times, yet they are constrained by an overemphasis on celebrity leaders defined as populists. This article departs from a leader-centric analysis and the liberal frame that still largely informs assessment of political action, to foreground “fun” as a salient aspect of right-wing mobilization. Building on ethnographic fieldwork among the Hindu nationalists in India, I argue that fun is a metapractice that shapes the interlinked practices of fact-checking, abuse, assembly, and aggression among online volunteers for the right-wing movement. Furthermore, fun remains crucial for an experience of absolute autonomy among online users in ideological battles. Providing the daily drip feed for exclusion, fun as a metapractice bears a formal similarity to objectivity in its performative effects of distance and deniability.

description: Classical, interferometric, optical lithography is diffraction limited to writing features of a size lambda/2 or greater, where lambda is the optical wavelength. Using nonclassical photon number states, entangled N at a time, we show that it is possible to write features of minimum size lambda/(2N) in an N-photon absorbing substrate. This result surpasses the usual classical diffraction limit by a factor of N. Since the number of features that can be etched on a two-dimensional surface scales inversely as the square of the feature size, this allows one to write a factor of N^2 more elements on a semiconductor chip. A factor of N = 2 can be achieved easily with entangled photon pairs generated from optical parametric downconversion. It is shown how to write arbitrary 2D patterns by using this method.

description: A novel Mn(III) complex with γ-diketone having general formula [Mn(hdo)3], where hdo = hexane-2,5-dione ligand, has been synthesized and characterized using UV–vis, FT-IR, ESI-mass and EPR spectra, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The X-ray diffraction studies reveal that it has monoclinic lattice system with C2/C space group and the unit cell dimensions are a = 9.92245 Å, b = 10.50696 Å, and c = 9.80835 Å. The particle size of this complex has been found to be 32.1 nm. The complex was evaluated for its antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus terreus fungal species. The results indicate that the minimum inhibitory concentration of the synthesized complex was 8 ppm for A. niger while for A. flavus and A. terreus it was 6 ppm. β-Diketone Mn(III) complexes inhibit the fungal growth only partially. This communication is the first report of transformation of a keto-group to an ester group catalyzed by a metal complex.

description: One of the unique features associated with the Earth is that the fraction of its surface covered by land is comparable to that spanned by its oceans and other water bodies. Here, we investigate how extraterrestrial biospheres depend on the ratio of the surficial land and water fractions. We find that worlds that are overwhelmingly dominated by landmasses or oceans are likely to have sparse biospheres. Our analysis suggests that major evolutionary events such as the buildup of O$_2$ in the atmosphere and the emergence of technological intelligence might be relatively feasible only on a small subset of worlds with surface water fractions ranging approximately between $30\%$ and $90\%$. We also discuss how our predictions can be evaluated by future observations, and the implications for the prevalence of microbial and technological species in the Universe.

Exploring antimicrobial stewardship in UK veterinary medicine and livestock agriculture: a mixed-method, one health approach
Creators: name: Golding, Sarah E.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a profound threat to human and animal health. More research has focused on drivers of inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing and usage in human medicine than in veterinary medicine. This thesis helps address this gap by exploring antimicrobial stewardship in UK livestock farming. It consists of six empirical studies and uses a mixed-method approach. Three qualitative studies explored farm vets’ and farmers’ beliefs about AMR and about antimicrobial prescribing, usage, and stewardship. Study One used qualitative interviews with farm vets (n = 13); results indicated vets understand their stewardship responsibilities but feel they cannot always prescribe in line with stewardship ideals due to contextual factors. Study Two used qualitative interviews with farmers (n = 12); results indicated farmers want to be antimicrobial stewards, but they feel constrained from making changes by external forces. Study Three used a secondary analysis of the combined datasets from Studies One and Two (n = 25) and identified that vets and farmers share a sense of ambivalence towards stewardship; they take some ownership for stewardship, but also engage in other-blaming for AMR. Three quantitative studies further explored the qualitative findings. Study Four used vignettes with farm vets (n = 16) to compare ‘ideal’ and ‘real-world’ prescribing and identify a clinical scenario for use in Study Five. Results showed antimicrobial prescribing was higher in ‘real-world’ than ‘ideal’ situations. Study Five used an experimental vignette and cross-sectional design with farm vets (n = 97) to assess the effects of context, values, and beliefs on vets’ prescribing. Results indicated context (vet-farmer relationship under pressure) and beliefs about responsibility for preventing AMR were associated with vets’ prescribing, but values and beliefs about causing AMR were not. Vets believed other groups had greater responsibility for causing and preventing AMR. Study Six used a cross-sectional survey to explore antimicrobial usage behaviours, knowledge, and beliefs about responsibility for AMR in vet students (n = 573). Results indicated vet students’ behaviours were responsible, knowledge about AMR was moderate to good, and they believed vets have less responsibility than other groups for causing or preventing AMR. Findings are discussed in terms of two key themes; ‘Psychological distancing: a barrier to stewardship’ and ‘Positive interactions: facilitating stewardship’. Findings are considered from a social ecological perspective, highlighting the need for stewardship interventions at multiple levels, and from a social identity perspective, highlighting the importance of emphasising a common goal of stewardship, to reduce psychological distancing and increase positive interactions between individuals and groups.

Quantum Gravity on a Circle and the Diffeomorphism Invariance of the Schrodinger Equation

description: We study a model for quantum gravity on a circle in which the notion of a classical metric tensor is replaced by a quantum metric with an inhomogeneous transformation law under diffeomorphisms. This transformation law corresponds to the co--adjoint action of the Virasoro algebra, and resembles that of the connection in Yang--Mills theory. The transformation property is motivated by the diffeomorphism invariance of the one dimensional Schrödinger equation. The quantum distance measured by the metric corresponds to the phase of a quantum mechanical wavefunction. The dynamics of the quantum gravity theory are specified by postulating a Riemann metric on the space $Q$ of quantum metrics and taking the kinetic energy operator to be the resulting laplacian on the configuration space $Q/\rm Diff_0(S^1)$. The resulting metric on the configuration space is analyzed and found to have singularities. The second--quantized Schrödinger equation is derived, some exact solutions are found, and a generic wavefunction behavior near one of the metric singularities is described. Finally some further directions are indicated, including an analogue of the Yamabe problem of differential geometry.

description: Several two component mixture models from the transformed gamma and transformed beta families are developed to assess risk performance. Their common statistical properties are given and applications to real insurance loss data are shown. A new data trimming approach for parameter estimation is proposed using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Assessment with respect to Value-at-Risk and Conditional Tail Expectation risk measures are presented. Of all the models examined, the mixture of inverse transformed gamma-Burr distributions consistently provides good results in terms of goodness-of-fit and risk estimation in the context of the Danish fire loss data.

The joint nonclassicality of position and momentum observables is shown to be complementary to their joint robustness in an exact sense.

We also prove that for any fixed rank-one operator $F$, almost all perturbations $T+αF$ have invariant subspaces of infinite dimension and codimension.

description: This case study evaluates the changes of riverscape morphology that are caused by the abandonment of three water mills in a typical Central European foothill to lowland river for the period of 1810 to 2012 by the example of a short segment of the Wurm River, Germany. Based on a multi-temporal geographic information system analysis of historical maps, historical cross profiles, and the up-to-date high-resolution LIDAR DEM (1 m), different tendencies of changes in the longitudinal profile and alteration of the channel planform have been distinguished. The results indicate (a) a mutual adjustment to a local base level during the active mill period, (b) a period of terrace formation in the inset floodplain following the mill demise, and (c) a heterogeneous pattern of lateral channel changes at the mill in the center of the study segment. Two other abandoned mills influenced channel incision depth, change of riverbed slope, and terrace formation. The reconstruction of the former river courses reveals limits of the applicability of historical maps on the scale of small catchments (∼350 km2) or on the study sub-catchment scale (∼ 85 km2) as details like channel width or the exact positions of river bends are documented imprecise. Furthermore, we determine factors that superimpose the geomorphological evidence by controlling discharge and affecting sediment availability, which is caused by the adjacent urban area of Aachen city in the headwater and the suburban area surrounding the study segment.
Squeezing and Dual Recycling in Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors

description: We calculate the response of an ideal Michelson interferometer incorporating both dual recycling and squeezed light to gravitational waves. The photon counting noise has contributions from the light which is sent in through the input ports as well as the vacuum modes at sideband frequencies generated by the gravitational waves. The minimum detectable gravity wave amplitude depends on the frequency of the wave as well as the squeezing and recycling parameters. Both squeezing and the broadband operation of dual recycling reduce the photon counting noise and hence the two techniques can be used together to make more accurate phase measurements. The variance of photon number is found to be time-dependent, oscillating at the gravity wave frequency but of much lower order than the constant part.

description: We find an unusually optimal near field heat transfer, where the maximum heat transfer is reached at experimentally feasible gap separation. We attribute this to the localized zero-energy electronic edge states, which also substantially changes the near-field behaviors. We demonstrate these anomalous behaviors in two typical carbon-based nano-structures: zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene nano-triangles. For the system of carbon nanotubes, the maximal heat flux in this work surpasses all the previous results reported so far by several orders of magnitude. The underlying mechanisms for the peculiar effects are uncovered from a simple Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. Our findings also offer a novel route to active near-field thermal switch, where the heat flux can be modulated through tuning the presence or absence of edge states.

description: Currently, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related with livestock sector are esteemed as 12 to 18% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions. The main sources are methane emission from enteric fermentation by ruminants, nitrous oxide emission from soil practices and manure management, Land Use and Land Use Change (LULUC) and emission related with feed production (soil practices, fertilizers and transportation). Because of this, there are increasing concern about the role of livestock, especially ruminants, in our agricultural systems. In the final balance between GHG emission and CO2 sequestration, the results vary from 2.19 kg CO2eq. kg-1 CW (forest pasture) to 10.60 kg CO2eq. kg-1 CW (indoor system) and from 0.38 Mg CO2eq. ha-1 (forest pasture) to 7.37 kg CO2eq. ha-1 (indoor system). It was found that the methane emissions affect significantly the balance, especially for the forest pasture system where cattle are mainly fed with low digestible and fibre-rich feed. While, emission related with feed production are higher in the indoor system where more cultivated feed is required. The results were in line with other studies even if it was not possible to compare them directly because of the lack of similar assessments in the existing literature. There are still uncertainties and the study can be much improved by collecting data from direct measurement. Moreover, more studies about best management practises of forest pasture, wood pasture and pasture are required, and also a cost-benefit analysis could be interesting in order to implement silvopastoral systems. In conclusion, despite more studies are needed, it is possible to say that the restoration of silvopastoral system could be a good strategy to mitigate the environmental impact of beef cattle production in Finland but also in other countries with some adaptations.

The entrainment with the periodic visual stimulation was consistently observed, whereas the auditory entrainment was inconclusive. Hence, a photic (Visual) stimulus, where two frequencies were presented to the subject simultaneously was used to further explore the bifrequency entrainment of human brainwaves. Subsequently, the evolution of brainwaves as a result of an aperiodic stimulation was explored, wherein an entrainment to the predetermined aperiodic pattern was observed. These results suggest that aperiodic entrainment could be used as a tool for guided modification of brainwaves. This could find possible applications in processes such as epilepsy suppression and biofeedback.

description: Many studies of possible new physics employ effective field theory (EFT), whereby corrections to the Standard Model take the form of higher-dimensional operators, suppressed by a large energy scale. Fits of such a theory to data typically use parton level observables, which limits the datasets one can use. In order to theoretically model search channels involving many additional jets, it is important to include tree-level matrix elements matched to a parton shower algorithm, and a suitable matching procedure to remove the double counting of additional radiation. There are then two potential problems: (i) EFT corrections are absent in the shower, leading to an extra source of discontinuities in the matching procedure; (ii) the uncertainty in the matching procedure may be such that no additional constraints are obtained from observables sensitive to radiation. In this paper, we review why the first of these is not a problem in practice, and perform a detailed study of the second. In particular, we quantify the additional constraints on EFT expected from top pair plus multijet events, relative to inclusive top pair production alone.

description: A species’ spatial ecology has direct implications for that species’ conservation. Far-ranging species may be more difficult to conserve because their movements increase their chances of encountering humans. The movements can take them out of protected areas, which is especially risky for species that are routinely persecuted. The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), a large venomous elapid, is subject to anthropogenic pressures, such as persecution and habitat loss. Here we present results from a study using radio telemetry to quantify movements and habitat use of nine king cobras in and around a protected area in Northeast Thailand. This study is the first investigation into the movements and habitat use of king cobras outside of the Western Ghats, India. On average, the tracked king cobra’s use areas of 493.42 ± 335.60 ha (95% fixed kernel), moving 183.24 ± 82.63 m per day. King cobras did not remain in intact forested area. Five of the individuals frequently used the human-dominated agricultural areas surrounding the protected area, appearing to make regular use of irrigation canals. Two adult males showed increases in movements during the breeding season. One male’s increased breeding season range caused him to venture beyond the protected area, shifting his habitat use from intact forests to scrub in human-dominated areas. King cobras’ large home range and willingness to use anthropogenic landscapes merits special consideration from conservation planners.

Spherically Symmetric Gravity as a Completely Integrable System

description: It is shown - in Ashtekar's canonical framework of General Relativity - that spherically symmetric (Schwarzschild) gravity in 4 dimensional space-time constitutes a finite dimensional completely integrable system. Canonically conjugate observables for asymptotically flat space-times are masses as action variables and - surprisingly - time variables as angle variables, each of which is associated with an asymptotic "end" of the Cauchy surfaces. The emergence of the time observable is a consequence of the Hamiltonian formulation and its subtleties concerning the slicing of space and time and is not in contradiction to Birkhoff's theorem. The results are of interest as to the concept of time in General Relativity. They can be formulated within the ADM formalism, too. Quantization of the system and the associated Schrödinger equation depend on the allowed spectrum of the masses.

description: The Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) describes the flux of neutrons through inhomogeneous fissile medium. Whilst well treated in the nuclear physics literature (cf. [9, 27]), the NTE has had a somewhat scattered treatment in mathematical literature with a variety of different approaches (cf. [8, 25]). Within a probabilistic framework it has somewhat undeservingly received little attention in recent years; nonetheless, probabilistic treatments can be found see for example [19, 26, 24, 29, 4, 3]. In this article our aim is threefold. First we want to introduce a slightly more general setting for the NTE, which gives a more complete picture of the different species of particle and radioactive fluxes that are involved in fission. Second we consolidate the classical c0-semigroup approach to solving the NTE with the method of stochastic representation which involves expectation semigroups. Third we provide the leading asymptotic of our multi-species NTE, which will turn out to be crucial for further stochastic analysis of the NTE in forthcoming work [6, 5]. The methodology used in this paper harmonises the culture of expectation semigroup analysis from the theory of stochastic processes against c0-semigroup theory from functional analysis. In this respect, our presentation is thus part review of existing theory and part presentation of new research results based on generalisation of existing results.

description: We consider multiple scalar fields coupled to gravity, with special attention given to two-field theories. First, the conditions necessary for these theories to meet solar system tests are given. Next, we investigate the cosmological evolution of the fields to see if these conditions can be met. Solutions are found in the dust era, as well as radiation and cosmological constant dominated epochs. The possibility of inflation in these theories is discussed. While power law growth of the scalar fields can yield the appropriate conditions to meet solar system constraints, these solutions are unstable.

The Gravothermal Instability at all scales: from Turnaround Radius to Supernovae

description: The gravitational instability, responsible for the formation of the structure of the Universe, occurs below energy thresholds and above spatial scales of a self-gravitating expanding region, when thermal energy can no longer counterbalance self-gravity. I argue that at sufficiently-large scales, dark energy may restore thermal stability. This stability re-entrance of an isothermal sphere defines a turnaround radius, which dictates the maximum allowed size of any structure generated by gravitational instability. On the opposite limit of high energies and small scales, I will show that an ideal, quantum or classical, self-gravitating gas is subject to a high-energy relativistic gravothermal instability. It occurs at sufficiently-high energy and small radii, when thermal energy cannot support its own gravitational attraction. Applications of the phenomenon include neutron stars and core-collapse supernovae. I also extend the original Oppenheimer--Volkov calculation of the maximum mass limit of ideal neutron cores to the non-zero temperature regime, relevant to the whole cooling stage from a hot proto-neutron star down to the final cold state.

description: The Chong-Cvetic-Lu-Pope 5D rotating charged black hole proves to belong to a set of solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons (EMCS) equations that share the electromagnetic potential and the Chern-Simons coupling constant but differ in the Kretschmann invariant. This one-parametric family of solutions is found by proposing a properly deformed Plebanski-Demianski Ansatz for modeling the metric tensor. While no black-hole solutions for other values of the Chern-Simons coupling constant are found within this Ansatz, another type of non-static electrovacuum solutions to 5D EMCS equations are obtained, namely Kundt spacetimes sourced by a pure-radiation field.
