description: Abstract Genetic science has provided new knowledge that has the potential to reduce ‘race’ discrimination. This includes findings that around 95% of human genetic variability is present within any population; and that most human traits are influenced by a complex combination of many genetic and environmental factors. Despite this knowledge, racially discriminatory practices persist internationally, including segregation; unfair sentencing; state surveillance of children; and involuntary sterilisation. Moreover, there is an emerging risk that DNA may be used to propel harmful discriminatory practices. For example, new ‘DNA-based’ groups may emerge in the context of polygenic prediction – aggregating multiple genetic risks into individuals’ combined risk indexes. Such DNA-based groups could be viewed as ‘new races’ - adding yet another category to the already heterogenous definition of ‘race’. This paper reviews the genetic advances directly relevant to, and their impact on, ‘race’ and other group discrimination; and assesses current UK and international discrimination practices and effectiveness of the laws in place prior to and in the genomic era. The paper concludes that current laws provide insufficient protection from ‘race’ and other group discrimination and still reflect people’s beliefs in entrenched differences between ‘races’. The paper asserts that the very use of the term ‘race’ in equality legislation is problematic due to inconsistencies in definition across key legislations; and history of its association with domination. Justice systems must update laws to reflect current genetic knowledge and to address existing and emerging risks of discrimination.

Nonequilibrium Steady State in Open Quantum Systems: Influence Action, Stochastic Equation and Power Balance

description: The existence and uniqueness of a steady state for nonequilibrium systems (NESS) is a fundamental subject and a main theme of research in statistical mechanics for decades. For Gaussian systems, such as a chain of harmonic oscillators connected at each end to a heat bath, and for anharmonic oscillators under specified conditions, definitive answers exist in the form of proven theorems. Answering this question for quantum many-body systems poses a challenge for the present. In this work we address this issue by deriving the stochastic equations for the reduced system with self-consistent backaction from the two baths, calculating the energy flow from one bath to the chain to the other bath, and exhibiting a power balance relation in the total (chain + baths) system which testifies to the existence of a NESS in this system at late times. Its insensitivity to the initial conditions of the chain corroborates to its uniqueness. The functional method we adopt here entails the use of the influence functional, the coarse-grained and stochastic effective actions, from which one can derive the stochastic equations and calculate the average values of physical variables in open quantum systems. This involves both taking the expectation values of quantum operators of the system and the distributional averages of stochastic variables stemming from the coarse-grained environment. This method though formal in appearance is compact and complete. It can also easily accommodate perturbative techniques and diagrammatic methods from field theory. Taken all together it provides a solid platform for carrying out systematic investigations into the nonequilibrium dynamics of open quantum systems and quantum thermodynamics.

Biomaterials for acellular dental tissue regeneration
Creators: name: Medina Fernandez, Ignacio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Traditional endodontic treatments replace damaged tissues with long-lasting materials but worsening long-term outcomes and co-morbidities due to lack of regeneration. In this work, a regenerative strategy using biomaterials and avoiding cell transplantation is investigated. These biomaterials include gelatine cryogels and odontogenic moieties. These included bioceramics (biphasic calcium phosphate, bredigite and ß-dicalcium silicate), typically used in endodontic treatments and known for their odontogenic potential, and mesoporous silica rods (MSR) with large size and high aspect ratio to load proteins without impeding cryogel formation. Thiol-ene resins were also designed as a biocompatible alternative to the cytotoxic composites used by dentists, and to seal the pulp chamber after cryogel implantation. ALP activity of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) cultured on bioceramic extracts was measured as a marker of odontogenic differentiation. In this configuration, cells may only have differentiated at the highest concentrations of bioceramics, which could not be incorporated in the cryogels. MSR were found to release proteins (lysozyme) for up to 44 days and did form cryogels with GelMA, but these gels were not able to maintain cell numbers after 7 days of culture. To avoid using toxic initiators, biorthogonal hydrogel crosslinking chemistry (using tetrazine and norbornene) was used for the cryogelation. The resulting click cryogels sustained cell numbers for 14 days, unlike GelMA cryogels, and swelled 80% more in mass than GelMA cryogels without compromising open porosity. Compressive Young’s modulus and pore size were also higher for click gels. Finally, after being loaded with SDF-1α-MSR, they could release SDF-1α for up to 15 days, increasing ALP activity of DPSC. Composites were also characterised via FTIR and rheology to find stable formulations that were curable by visible light. The resulting resins, synthesised using TPO as photoinitiator and mequinol as inhibitor, were cytocompatible depending on length of exposure to UV light.

description: Anomalous features for hypothetical Plasma Phase Transitions (PPT), which is expected to occur in mixed hydrogen-helium plasma in interior of Jupiter and Saturn, are under discussion. The characteristics of the Coulomb and density corrections (the so-called non-ideality corrections) are reconstructed for hydrogen-helium plasma in the vicinity of phase coexistence boundary of this PPT in version of Saumon and Chabrier, using tabular data for hydrogen-helium EOS of Saumon, Chabrier and VanHorn and some general thermodynamic relations. Two previously unknown characteristics of the studied PPT have been estimated based on these results: (i) -- the jump of the electrostatic potential across the phase boundary of PPT (Galvani potential), and (ii) -- the scale of non-congruency for this PPT (the differences in chemical composition of the coexisting hydrogen-helium phases), which could be expected in H2/He mixture at typical parameters of plasma in interior of Jupiter and Saturn. While the first effect -- the potential of phase boundary -- turned out to be within the typical scale of contact electrochemical potentials, $Δφ$ ~ 1-2 eV, the second quantity -- the PPT non-congruency -- proved to be considerable under Saturn and Jupiter conditions.

description: This note concerns stationary solutions of the Euler equations for an ideal fluid on a closed 3-manifold. We prove that if the velocity field of such a solution has no zeroes and real analytic Bernoulli function, then it can be rescaled to the Reeb vector field of a stable Hamiltonian structure. In particular, such a vector field has a periodic orbit unless the 3-manifold is a torus bundle over the circle. We provide a counterexample showing that the correspondence breaks down without the real analyticity hypothesis.

description: This study analysed the interactions between the chemical structures and antimicrobial activities of various functional groups containing organic compounds. The spectral methods confirmed the structure of these compounds after efficient synthesis was carried out. Two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria were tested for in vitro antibacterial activity of the synthesised compounds. For antifungal activity, three fungal strains were tested. Compound 5n showed a potent inhibitory effects against E. coli and P. aeruginosa with MIC values of 12.5 µg/ml and 6.25 µg/ml, respectively (Glide Docking score: -9.190). S. aureus and S. pyogenus were both positively affected by compound 5i with MIC values of 12.5 µg/ml and 25 µg/ml, respectively (Glide Docking score: -9.111). Based on the results, compounds 5a and 5f have excellent activity against C. albicans with MIC values of 200 µg/ml. Molecular docking study against microbial peptide deformylase could provide insight into the binding affinity and orientation of the active site. A very significant correlation was obtained between the in silico binding affinity data with an average Glide docking score of -8.412 and Glide binding energy: -43.074 kcal/mol. Compound 5n produced a relatively higher binding affinity (Glide dock score: -9.190 and Glide binding energy: -51.226 kcal/mol) which was also translated in its higher antimicrobial activity.

description: Rainfall-runoff modelling is one of the fundamental hydrological problems which is crucial for many applications including water resources management and flood forecasting. To date, many Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been proposed in modelling the dynamic hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process, from which Neuro-Fuzzy Systems (NFS) have gained popularity due to their capability in capturing complex associations between inputs and outputs. However, conventional NFS models suffer from poor adaptability, underestimation of peak events, extensive rule base and inapplicability for real-time application. As such, this research proposes a novel self-reforming Neuro- Fuzzy System coupled with fuzzy rule interpolation/extrapolation (FRIE) and episodic memory mechanism. The proposed model aims to resolve the shortcoming of conventional NFS models in rainfall- runoff modeling and subsequently improve the model’s adaptability and performance in peak events estimation.

description: Eight metal complexes with Schiff base ligands, HL1 [2-{1-(2-fluorophenyl)ethyledene}] hydrazinecarboxamide and HL2 [2-{1-(2-fluorophenyl)ethyledene}] hydrazinecarboxathioamide were synthesized with Co(II) and Ni(II). These were characterized by analytical as well as various spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, 1H NMR, electronic absorption spectra. The spectral results revealed the formation of octahedral complexes. To determine the concentration of cobalt in Schiff base metal complex flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) was done. The accuracy of results was verified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). In vitro cytotoxic activity of the ligands HL1, HL2 and their Schiff base metal complexes was examined, in which A549 (human lung cancer cell line) and L929 (mouse normal fibroblast cell line) were used in the screening test. Among all the synthesized Schiff base ligands and metal complexes, Ni(II) thiosemicarbazone based complex i.e. (Ni (L2)2.2H2O) exhibited a significant cytotoxic effect towards A549 cell line with a mean IC50 value of 36.43 μΜ. Plant growth regulatory activity of the ligands (HL1, HL2) and their metal complexes have also been performed on chick pea plant. The PGR activity of the ligands and their complexes were compared and it was found that the thiosemicarbazone based metal complexes possess higher PGR activity.

description: Automated vehicle developers in California are required to submit records of crashes and distances traveled in autonomous mode for all vehicles in their fleets. Several studies have investigated this database to compare automated vehicle crash rates with national rates. Although automated vehicles are struck from behind in 73% of their autonomous mode crashes, this is the first study to compare automated vehicle struck-from-behind crash rates to national rates using equivalent crash definitions. Rear-end collisions have substantial public health and economic impacts, representing a third of all collisions and $3.9 B in annual economic costs. In this study, automated vehicles were found to be struck from behind while in autonomous mode 17.2 (14.2–20.7, 95% CI) times per million-miles traveled, significantly higher than human-driven vehicles in naturalistic driving studies (3.6, 3.0–4.3, 95% CI). These differences narrow when comparing urban driving and business/industrial driving in the naturalistic driving studies with AV testing in similar environments. Automated vehicles were more likely to be struck when stopped than when moving, suggesting that automated vehicles’ decisions about where and when to stop at intersection are more plausible as contributing factors than unexpected rates of deceleration.

description: New multi-color light curves of the very short period K-type eclipsing binary V1799 Ori were obtained and analyzed with the W-D code. The photometric solutions reveal that the system is a W-type shallow-contact binary with a mass ratio of $q=1.335(\pm0.005)$ and a degree of contact about $f = 3.5(\pm1.1)\%$. In general, the results are in good agreement with which is reported by Samec. The remarkable O'Connell effects in the light curves are well explained by employing star spots on the binary surface, which confirms that the system is active at present. Several new times of light minimum were obtained. All the available times of light minimum were collected, along with the recalculated and new obtained. Applying a least-squares method to the constructed O-C diagram, a new ephemeris was derived for V1799 Ori. The orbital period is found to show a continuous weak increase at a rate of $1.8(\pm0.6)\times10^{-8}$ days$\cdot$yr$^{-1}$. The extreme-shallow contact, together with the period increase, suggests that the binary may be at a critical stage predicted by the TRO theory. \keywords{binaries : close -- binaries : eclipsing -- stars: individual (V1799 Ori)

Better than ‘Average’: Potential Crash Rate Standards for Automated Vehicles
Publisher: name: Transportation Research Board
Year: 2021

description: Most automobile manufacturers and several technology companies are testing automated vehicles on public roads. While automation of the driving task is expected to reduce crashes, there is no consensus regarding how safe an automated vehicle must be before it can be deployed. An automated vehicle should be at least as safe as the average driver, but national crash rates include drunk and distracted driving, meaning that an automated vehicle that crashes at the average rate is somewhere between drunk and sober. In this paper, automated vehicle safety standards are explored from three perspectives. First, crash rates from naturalistic driving studies are used to determine the crash risk of the model (i.e. sober, rested, attentive, cautious) driver. Second, stated preference surveys in the literature are reviewed to estimate the public’s acceptable automated vehicle risk. Third, crash, injury, and fatality rates from other transportation modes are compared as baseline safety levels. A range of potential safety standards is presented as a guide for policymakers, regulators, and automated vehicle developers to assist in validating the safety of automated driving technologies for public use.

description: In the present investigation, we report the synthesis, anti-inflammatory activity and molecular docking of monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin. The anti-inflammatory activity of the synthesized compounds was gauzed using the protein denaturation assay using Diclofenac sodium as reference standard. Among the tested compounds, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3j, 3k, 3l and 3m displayed excellent anti-inflammatory activity by exhibiting good range of percentage inhibition as compared to the standard DFS. In silico binding affinity study against Cyclooxygenase (COX-2) enzyme could provide valuable insight into their plausible mechanism of action. Also, in silico ADME prediction of synthesized monocarbonyl curcumin analogues showed excellent pharmacokinetic parameters by not violating Lipinski’s rule of five.

description: In this work, we have studied the chemical and magnetic interactions of Fe$_n$ ; n=1-6 clusters with vacancy defects (monovacancy to correlated vacancies with six missing C atoms) in a graphene sheet by ab-initio density functional calculations combined with Hubbard U corrections for correlated Fe- d electrons. It is found that the vacancy formation energies are lowered in the presence of Fe, indicating an easier destruction of the graphene sheet. Due to strong chemical interactions between Fe clusters and vacancies, a complex distribution of magnetic moments appear on the distorted Fe clusters which results in reduced averaged magnetic moments compared to the free clusters. In addition to that, we have calculated spin-dipole moments and magnetic anisotropy energies. The calculated spin-dipole moments arising from anisotropic spin density distributions, vary between positive and negative values, yielding increased or decreased effective moments. Depending on the cluster geometry, the easy axis of magnetization of the Fe clusters shows in-plane or out-of-plane behavior.

description: We present an Augmented Lagrangian formulation and its real-space implementation for non-periodic orbital-free Density Functional Theory (OF-DFT) calculations. In particular, we rewrite the constrained minimization problem of OF-DFT as a sequence of minimization problems without any constraint, thereby making it amenable to powerful unconstrained optimization algorithms. Further, we develop a parallel implementation of this approach for the Thomas-Fermi-von Weizscaker (TFW) kinetic energy functional in the framework of higher-order finite-differences and the conjugate gradient method. With this implementation, we establish that the Augmented Lagrangian approach is highly competitive compared to the penalty and Lagrange multiplier methods. Additionally, we show that higher-order finite-differences represent a computationally efficient discretization for performing OF-DFT simulations. Overall, we demonstrate that the proposed formulation and implementation is both efficient and robust by studying selected examples, including systems consisting of thousands of atoms. We validate the accuracy of the computed energies and forces by comparing them with those obtained by existing plane-wave methods.

description: There are numerous advantages of deep neural network surrogate modeling for response time-history prediction. However, due to the high cost of refined numerical simulations and actual experiments, the lack of data has become an unavoidable bottleneck in practical applications. An iterative self-transfer learningmethod for training neural networks based on small datasets is proposed in this study. A new mapping-based transfer learning network, named as deep adaptation network with three branches for regression (DAN-TR), is proposed. A general iterative network training strategy is developed by coupling DAN-TR and the pseudo-label strategy, and the establishment of corresponding datasets is also discussed. Finally, a complex component is selected as a case study. The results show that the proposed method can improve the model performance by near an order of magnitude on small datasets without the need of external labeled samples,well behaved pre-trainedmodels, additional artificial labeling, and complex physical/mathematical analysis.

The Ladies of Locust Grove: Women's Property Rights c.1850 - 1950
Publisher: name: University of Virginia
Year: 2021

description: A thorough investigation of legal property deed chains for five separate properties located in the Locust Grove neighborhood of Charlottesville reveals the variety of ways women were able to demonstrate legal agency in property ownership in the 19th and 20th centuries. Under English-derived laws in an American context, a woman’s ability to own and manage property autonomously was challenging, particularly if that woman had a husband or male relative who might be eager to subsume her autonomy. Amid changing legal and cultural frameworks, the women of Locust Grove able to wrest autonomy in land ownership via trustee relationships, inheritance work-arounds, and lawsuits, each with varying degrees of success.
Development of generative adversarial networks for spatiotemporal fluid flow, atmospheric and flood predictions

description: Accurate prediction of fluid flow is of vital importance to many applications in engineering and physics. Long-standing challenges in flow simulations are the simultaneous high accuracy and efficiency demanded in numerical computations. Recent advances in machine learning technologies are increasingly of interest for the efficient simulation of nonlinear and complex systems. Deep learning techniques are capable of capturing the physical dynamics without prior knowledge of underlying physical relationships. However, there remain several challenges in nonlinear fluid flow modelling, i.e., spatiotemporal nonlinear fluid flow modelling, large data-driven fluid flow modelling, real-time forecasting of nonlinear fluid flows beyond the training period, improvement of the forecasting accuracy in long lead-time. To overcome these challenges, in this work, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been first introduced to spatiotemporal nonlinear fluid flow prediction while data assimilation techniques are used for improving the accuracy of long term forecasting. The key contributions of this thesis are: firstly, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) fluid model based on a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) has been developed for modelling spatiotemporal flow distributions. Secondly, a hybrid deep adversarial autoencoder (VAE-GAN) model to integrate generative adversarial network (GAN) and variational autoencoder (VAE) has been proposed for large data-driven nonlinear fluid flow prediction. Thirdly, a real-time predictive machine learning model, i.e., artificial neural network (ANN), long short term memory (LSTM), DCGAN, and VAE-GAN has been developed for basin streamflow, urban flooding, and national air pollution forecasting problems respectively. Fourthly, an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for GAN and convolutional LSTM (GAN-ConvLSTM) based forecasting system has been proposed for accurate long lead-time forecasting. The presented models have been validated by various test cases and the results are in good agreement with high-fidelity models and observations. Promising results have shown that the DCGAN and VAE-GAN models are capable of accurately predicting the spatiotemporal flow features as the flow evolves, with CPU speed-up of several orders of magnitude. In addition, the ANN, LSTM, DCGAN and VAE-GAN models have demonstrated to provide efficient and accurate forecasts for a long lead-time in applications of streamflow, flooding and ozone forecasting in spatial and temporal spaces. Finally, the two-hybrid forecast models (DCGAN-EnKF and ConvLSTM-EnKF) are able to yield long lead-time forecasts of dynamic states and the use of EnKF in ConvLSTM and DCGAN models successfully corrects online model errors and significantly improves the real-time forecasting of dynamic systems.

description: This paper explores the history of planning and zoning practices found across the state of Virginia, including cities like Lynchburg and Richmond, that ultimately directly influenced the racially motivated planning and zoning practices of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The broader implications of these planning and zoning practices create topographies of power that can be seen not only at the larger scale of the state and the city, but also the scale of the individual neighborhood through resources like the comprehensive plans of these cities that delve into background and neighborhood analysis that prove the racially motivated origins of these practices. This work was completed as part of the Spring 2021 course Field Methods and Building Archaeology directed by Professor Alissa Diamond.
Spark joy and slow acquisition: the KonMari method and its impact on moments of consumption

subject: circular economy

description: Circular economy (CE) models and practices have grown in influence and popularity over the last few years, particularly with respect to business and policy. The remit of the consumer however has been somewhat neglected, and yet when it comes to product lifetimes and obsolescence it is usually consumers who decide the lifetime of a product, often by discarding it whilst it is still serviceable. Moreover there is to date very little research that explicitly connects the concept of sufficiency with the ‘slowing’ or reduction of consumption that is implied by most CE frameworks. In this study we compare research conducted in Sweden and the UK & Ireland with practitioners of the KonMari method of decluttering. The KonMari method was created in Japan and has been exported around the world in the form of books and more recently a Netflix series. Through our surveys and qualitative analysis of our interviews we investigate the relationship between KonMari decluttering practices and ‘moments’ of consumption as characterised by Evans (2018). We show that the ritualised KonMari method seems to not only speed up devaluation, divestment and disposal but also to reinforce appropriation and appreciation, and perhaps most importantly to reduce acquisition. By becoming more aware of what brings them joy (both in terms of favoured possessions and a tidier home environment), participants tend to reduce their purchasing activities and simultaneously make time for more fulfilling activities.
Scaling of Entanglement Entropy in Point Contact Free Fermion Systems

description: The scaling of entanglement entropy is computationally studied in several $1\le d \le 2$ dimensional free fermion systems that are connected by one or more point contacts (PC). For both the $k$-leg Bethe lattice $(d =1)$ and $d=2$ rectangular lattices with a subsystem of $L^d$ sites, the entanglement entropy associated with a {\sl single} PC is found to be generically $S \sim L$. We argue that the $O(L)$ entropy is an expression of the subdominant $O(L)$ entropy of the bulk entropy-area law. For $d=2$ (square) lattices connected by $m$ PCs, the area law is found to be $S \sim aL^{d-1} + b m \log{L}$ and is thus consistent with the anomalous area law for free fermions ($S \sim L \log{L}$) as $m \rightarrow L$. For the Bethe lattice, the relevance of this result to Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) schemes for interacting fermions is discussed.

description: Data quality monitoring is the first step to the certification of the recorded data for off-line physics analysis. Dedicated monitoring framework have been developed by many experiments in the past and usually rely on the event data model (EDM) of the experiment, leading to a strong dependency on the data format and storage. We present here a generic data quality monitoring system, DQM4HEP, that has been developed without any assumption on the EDM. This increases the code maintenance, the portability across different experiments and re-usability for future experiment.We present the framework architecture and the various tools provided by the software package as well as various performances such as memory usage, stability and network bandwidth. We give an overview of the different experiments using DQM4HEP and the foreseen integration in future other experiments. We finally present the ongoing and future software development for DQM4HEP and long term prospects.

description: This paper explores structures of racism in the U.S through the lens of history and social studies textbooks.  It is composed of three parts.  First, a brief discussion of the history of educational systems and textbooks in the U.S.  Second, the paper discusses the legal and economic processes that define what content becomes enshrined in textbooks aimed at primary and secondary school students in this country.  Finally, the book critiques common textbook content in terms of their role in perpetuating narratives about particular racial groups and about American structures of power.  The paper concludes with a call for disruption of narrow conceptions of "legitimate knowledge" perpetuated through this type of media.
