description: Motivated by the high sensitivity to Fermi surface topology and scattering mechanisms in magneto-thermoelectric transport, we have measured the thermopower and Nernst effect on the (011)-plane of the proposed topological Kondo insulator SmB$_6$. These experiments, together with electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements, demonstrate that the (011)-plane also harbors a metallic surface with the effective mass in the order of 10-10$^2$ $m_0$. The surface and bulk conductances are well distinguished in these measurements and are categorized into metallic and non-degenerate semiconducting regimes, respectively. Electronic correlations play an important role in enhancing scattering and also contribute to the heavy surface state.

Myocardial fibrosis in repaired tetralogy of Fallot; Predicting ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death
Creators: name: Ghonim, Sarah
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: We are faced with new challenges in the growing population of adult survivors with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). The risk of premature death persists and drives eager pursuit for the accurate identification of patients at high-risk of malignant ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is previously known that inducible VT predicts mortality in rTOF patients. We show that the burden of right ventricular (RV) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) defined fibrosis > 25cm3 quantified by high-sensitivity 3D LGE can predict inducible VT as a proxy endpoint for mortality. Patients with minimal RV LGE < 10cm3 were extremely unlikely to have inducible VT suggesting those with minimal RVLGE avoid an invasive study. In a prospective study of 550 rTOF patients, a high-risk subgroup of patients with a 4.4% annualised risk of death and 3.7% annualised risk of life-threatening VT/SCD were identified. RVLGE was a strong predictor of outcome. We demonstrated how RVLGE can be integrated with other independent predictors into weighted risk scores ready for clinical use. Diffuse fibrosis defined by RV T1 shows promise as a subtle biomarker of adverse remodelling. An imbalance in the expression of fibrosis biomarkers suggests that a state of high-collagen turnover exists and correlates with adverse remodelling. In conclusion, myocardial fibrosis plays a central role in predicting death and malignant VT in rTOF. This work identifies biomarkers to help risk stratify and enable more personalised and targeted care in the life-long follow up of adult rTOF patients.

description: Systems driven out of equilibrium experience large fluctuations of the dissipated work. The same is true for wave function amplitudes in disordered systems close to the Anderson localization transition.\cite{Mirlin-review} In both cases the probability distribution function (PDF) is given by the large deviation ansatz. Here we exploit the analogy between the PDF of work dissipated in a driven single-electron box (SEB) and that of random multifractal wave function amplitudes and uncover new relations which generalize the Jarzynski equality. We checked the new relations experimentally by measuring the dissipated work in a driven SEB and found a remarkable correspondence. The results represent an important universal feature of the work statistics in systems out of equilibrium and help to understand the nature of the symmetry of multifractal exponents in the theory of Anderson localization.

description: Within the context of holography we study the general class of $d=4$ conformal field theories after applying a universal helical deformation. At finite temperature we construct the associated black hole solutions of Einstein gravity, numerically, by exploiting a Bianchi $VII_0$ ansatz for the bulk $D=5$ metric. At $T=0$ we show that they flow in the IR to exactly the same CFT. The deformation gives rise to a finite, non-zero DC thermal conductivity along the axis of the helix, which we determine analytically in terms of black hole horizon data. We also calculate the AC thermal conductivity along this axis and show that it exhibits Drude-like peaks.

description: Over the past three decades, considerable effort has been devoted to studying the rich and diverse phenomenologies of heterotic strings exhibiting spacetime supersymmetry. Unfortunately, during this same period, there has been relatively little work studying the phenomenologies associated with their non-supersymmetric counterparts. The primary reason for this relative lack of attention is the fact that strings without spacetime supersymmetry are generally unstable, exhibiting large one-loop dilaton tadpoles. In this paper, we demonstrate that this hurdle can be overcome in a class of tachyon-free four-dimensional string models realized through coordinate-dependent compactifications. Moreover, as we shall see, it is possible to construct models in this class whose low-lying states resemble the Standard Model (or even potential unified extensions thereof) --- all without any light superpartners, and indeed without supersymmetry at any energy scale. The existence of such models thus opens the door to general studies of non-supersymmetric string phenomenology, and in this paper we proceed to discuss a variety of theoretical and phenomenological issues associated with such non-supersymmetric strings. On the theoretical side, we discuss the finiteness properties of such strings, the general characteristics of their mass spectra, the magnitude and behavior of their one-loop cosmological constants, and their interpolation properties. By contrast, on the phenomenological side, the properties we discuss are more model-specific and include their construction techniques, their natural energy scales, their particle and charge assignments, and the magnitudes of their associated Yukawa couplings and scalar masses.

Placing the initial conditions in the Jourdan frame we find both models not worse than any other models with unbounded from above potentials: the terms in the Einstein frame are all of the same order, though appropriately smaller.

description: Spin dynamics in low dimensional magnetic systems has been of fundamental importance for a long time and has currently received an impetus owing to the emerging field of nanoelectronics. Knowledge of the spin wave lifetimes, in particular, can be favorable for future potential applications. We investigate the low-temperature spin wave excitations in two-dimensional disordered ferromagnetic systems, with a particular focus on the long wavelength magnon lifetimes. A semi-analytical Green's functions based approach is used to determine the dynamical spectral functions, for different magnetic impurity concentrations, from which the intrinsic linewidth is extracted. We obtain an unambiguous $q^4$ scaling of the magnon linewidth which is ascribed to the disorder induced damping of the spin waves, thereby settling a longstanding unresolved issue on the wave-vector dependence. Our findings are also in good agreement with previous theoretical studies on Heisenberg ferromagnets. Additionally, we demonstrate the futility of using the low moments associated with the spectral densities to evaluate the magnon dispersions and lifetimes.

description: Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are transmembrane proteins composed of four homologous domains (DI–DIV) that play important roles in membrane excitability in neurons and muscles. Analgesic-antitumour peptide (AGAP) is a neurotoxin from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch, and has been shown to exert analgesic effect by binding on site 4 of human Nav1.7 (hNav1.7). Mechanistic details about this binding, however, remain unclear. To address this issue, we compared the binding modes of AGAP/AGAPW38G/AGAPW38F and the hNav1.7 voltage-sensing domain on DII (VSD2hNav1.7) using homology modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and steered molecular dynamics. Results revealed the key role of tryptophan at position 38 on the binding of AGAP to VSD2hNav1.7. Pivotal roles are played also by residues on the β-turn and negatively charged residues at the C-terminal. We further show that electrostatic interaction is the main contributor to the binding free energy of the complex. Agreement between our computational simulation findings and prior experimental data supports the accuracy of the described mechanism. Accordingly, these results can provide valuable information for designing potent toxin analgesics targeting hNav1.7 with high affinity. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) has recently been identified as an attractive target for atherosclerosis intervention. Given potential relevance of 5-cholesten-3β, 25-diol, 3-sulphate (CHOS) and PPARγ, an integrated docking method was used to study their interaction mechanisms, with the full considerations to distinct CHOS conformations and dynamic ensembles of PPARγ ligand-binding domain (PPARγ-LBD). The results revealed that this novel platform is satisfactory to the accurate determination of binding profiles, and the binding pattern of CHOS is rather similar as those of current PPARγ full/partial agonists. CHOS contributes to the stabilization of the AF2 and β-sheet surfaces of PPARγ-LBD and promotes the configuration adjustment of Ω loop, in order to inhibit the Cdk5-mediated PPARγ phosphorylation. Nonetheless, there are clear differences in term of occupation of full or partial agonist-like binding models. The energetic and geometric analyses further revealed that CHOS may be fond of partial agonist-like binding, and its sulfonic group and carbon skeleton are helpful for the binding process. We hope that the results will aid our understanding of recognitions involving CHOS with PPARγ-LBD and warrant the further aspects to pharmacological experiments. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We hypothesize that cosmic string loops are the seeds about which globular clusters accrete. Fixing the cosmic string tension by demanding that the peak in the distribution of masses of objects accreting onto string loops agrees with the peak in the observed mass distribution of globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, we then compute the expected number density and mass function of globular clusters, and compare with observations. Our hypothesis naturally explains why globular clusters are the oldest and most dense objects in a galaxy, and why they are found in the halo of the galaxy.

A comparison of hourly with annual air pollutant emissions: Implications for estimating acute exposure and public health risk

description: Health risks from air pollutants are evaluated by comparing chronic (i.e., an average over 1 yr or greater) or acute (typically 1-hr) exposure estimates with chemical- and duration-specific reference values or standards. When estimating long-term pollutant concentrations via exposure modeling, facility-level annual average emission rates are readily available as model inputs for most air pollutants. In contrast, there are far fewer facility-level hour-by-hour emission rates available for many of these same pollutants. In this report, we first analyze hour-by-hour emission rates for total reduced sulfur (TRS) compounds from eight kraft pulp mill operations. This data set is used to demonstrate discrepancies between estimating exposure based on a single TRS emission rate that has been calculated as the mean of all operating hours of the year, as opposed to reported hourly emission rates. A similar analysis is then performed using reported hourly emission rates for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from three power generating units from a U.S. power plant. Results demonstrate greater variability at kraft pulp mill operations, with ratios of reported hourly to average hourly TRS emissions ranging from less than 1 to greater than 160 during routine facility operations. Thus, if fluctuations in hourly emission rates are not accounted for, over- or underestimates of hourly exposure, and thus acute health risk, may occur. In addition to this analysis, we also demonstrate an additional challenge when assessing health risk based on hourly exposures: the lack of human health reference values based on 1-hr exposures. Implications: Largely due to the lack of reported hourly emission rate data for many air pollutants, an hourly average emission rate (calculated from an annual emission rate) is often used when modeling the potential for acute health risk. We calculated ratios between reported hourly and hourly average emission rates from pulp and paper mills and a U.S. power plant to demonstrate that if not considered, hourly fluctuations in emissions could result in an over- or underestimation of exposure and risk. We also demonstrate the lack of 1-hr human health reference values meant to be protective of the general population, including children.

description: Photonic-crystal-based integrated optical systems have been used for a broad range of sensing applications with great success. This has been motivated by several advantages such as high sensitivity, miniaturization, remote sensing, selectivity and stability. Many photonic crystal sensors have been proposed with various fabrication designs that result in improved optical properties. In parallel, integrated optical systems are being pursued as a platform for photonic quantum information processing using linear optics and Fock states. Here we propose a novel integrated Fock state optical sensor architecture that can be used for force, refractive index and possibly local temperature detection. In this scheme, two coupled cavities behave as an "effective beam splitter". The sensor works based on fourth order interference (the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect) and requires a sequence of single photon pulses and consequently has low pulse power. Changes in the parameter to be measured induce variations in the effective beam splitter reflectivity and result in changes to the visibility of interference. We demonstrate this generic scheme in coupled L3 photonic crystal cavities as an example and find that this system, which only relies on photon coincidence detection and does not need any spectral resolution, can estimate forces as small as $10^{-7}$ Newtons and can measure one part per million change in refractive index using a very low input power of $10^{-10}$W. Thus linear optical quantum photonic architectures can achieve comparable sensor performance to semiclassical devices.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Despite the Ost in Ostpolitik, scholars have rarely glanced far enough eastward to explore the Chinese aspect of Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik. This thesis argues that Ostpolitik not only had an Asian component, but West German policymakers also viewed its Chinese dimension as inseparable from its détente policy. Brandt understood that he had to pursue a global agenda to obtain peace. While the Federal Republic benefited from American rapprochement with China, West Germany crafted its own China policy prior to major American breakthroughs. Bonn also viewed pursuing a deliberate China policy as an attempt to exert its autonomy in foreign affairs. Furthermore, this thesis shows how two cases of Cold War national divisions intertwined. On one hand, Bonn hoped that cultivating ties with communist states such as China would strengthen its position on German unification, while on the other hand, gaining diplomatic recognition from another western state enhanced Mainland China’s legitimacy.

description: Using the Frobenius formula, we evaluate characters associated with certain induced representations of the centrally extended BMS$_3$ group. This computation involves a functional integral over a coadjoint orbit of the Virasoro group; a delta function localizes the integral to a single point, allowing us to obtain an exact result. The latter is independent of the specific form of the functional measure, and holds for all values of the BMS$_3$ central charges and all values of the chosen mass and spin. It can also be recovered as a flat limit of Virasoro characters.

THE EFFECT OF FINISHING AND POLISHING ON THE SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF DIFFERENT CERAMIC MATERIALS: ARE MULTIPLE POLISHING KITS NECESSARY?
Creators: name: Irusa, Karina  Fiona
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Introduction:Clinically, chairside adjustment of ceramic restorations involves use of a diamond bur which subsequently roughens the surface followed by polishing to restore the surface smoothness. Various chairside polishing systems are available for polishing ceramics. These kits are specific to the ceramic type based on the manufacturer’s instructions. The effect of interchanging polishing kits on the surface roughness of ceramics is however not clear      Material and Methods:150 flat ceramic specimens were fabricated from IPS ZirCAD Prime, IPS E.max and Vitabloc Mark II. The specimens were adjusted and polished using either the proprietary polishing kit for the material or interchanged kits. The surface roughness was objectively assessed using AFM and profilometer. Subjective assessment of surface finish was performed using SEM and visual assessment by 3 independent examiners. Volumetric weight loss of each sample was measured before and after polishing using a digital microscale.      Results:The zirconia polishing system produced surfaces with the lowest surface roughness regardless of the ceramic material. The polisher-ceramic combination was found to have a statistically significant effect on both Ra and RMS when the AFM was used (p=0.039 and 0.010 respectively). Visual assessment showed that majority of the samples were fell into the excellent-acceptable polish category      Conclusion:Within the limitations of this study it was concluded that the Zirconia polishing system used resulted in the lowest surface roughness values regardless of ceramic materials tested. The zirconia polishing systems also did not result in significant volumetric weight loss regardless of the ceramic material used.

description: Hematopoietic stem cells are a rare but crucial population of cells that are responsible for maintaining hematopoiesis throughout vertebrate life. Clinically, hematopoietic stem cells have been utilised for treatment of hematological disease, autoimmune disorders and cancer through the application of hematopoietic cell transplants. A detailed understanding of the behaviour of hematopoietic stem cells and their post-transplant interaction with the niche can lead to improved transplant outcomes. However, there are many challenges in studying hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in mammalian systems owing to the difficulty of observing transplanted cells in vivo. This thesis aims to refine hematopoietic cell transplantation protocols described in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). To this end, fluorescent hematopoietic stem and precursor populations were further characterised in transgenic donor fish using a combination of flow cytometry and microscopy techniques. Furthermore, Runx:mCherry positive populations were assessed for stem cell functionality through transplantation. The utility of bloodless cmybt25127 mutant fish to investigate hematopoietic cell transplantation by longitudinal imaging was evaluated. In addition, the stimulatory effects of viral mimetics were assessed in transgenic and cmybt25127 mutant fish. Finally, the effect of antibiotic treatment was investigated in transgenic fish. These experiments revealed two fluorescent cell populations in Tg(Runx:mCherry) transgenic zebrafish kidney marrow. Hematopoietic cell transplant studies and transcript analysis indicated that the Runx:mCherry low population could be enriched for hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, experiments revealed that homozygous cmybt25127 mutant fish are capable of regenerating their tail fin following amputation and of initiating a partial anti-viral response to resiquimod stimulation. Finally, a post-transplant scoring system was devised in homozygous cmybt25127 mutant fish and used to assess functional differences between Runx:mCherryhigh and low populations. Overall, this thesis has further developed hematopoietic cell transplantation in zebrafish and demonstrated that in vivo imaging can be used to track the transplant outcome and behaviour of transplanted cells.

description: In most heavy ion collision simulations involving relativistic hydrodynamics, the Cooper-Frye formula is applied to transform the hydrodynamical fields to particles. In this article the so-called negative contributions in the Cooper-Frye formula are studied using a coarse-grained transport approach. The magnitude of negative contributions is investigated as a function of hadron mass, collision energy in the range of $E_{\rm lab} = 5$--$160A$ GeV, collision centrality and the energy density transition criterion defining the hypersurface. The microscopic results are compared to negative contributions expected from hydrodynamical treatment assuming local thermal equilibrium. The main conclusion is that the number of actual microscopic particles flying inward is smaller than the negative contribution one would expect in an equilibrated scenario. The largest impact of negative contributions is found to be on the pion rapidity distribution at midrapidity in central collisions. For this case negative contributions in equilibrium constitute 8--13\% of positive contributions depending on collision energy, but only 0.5--4\% in cascade calculation. The dependence on the collision energy itself is found to be non-monotonous with a maximum at 10-20$A$ GeV.

description: We consider the Rényi entanglement entropy of bosonic Luttinger liquids under a particle bipartition and demonstrate that the leading order finite-size scaling is logarithmic in the system size with a prefactor equal to the inverse Luttinger parameter. While higher order corrections involve a microscopic length scale, the leading order scaling depends only on this sole dimensionless parameter which characterizes the low energy quantum hydrodynamics. This result contrasts the leading entanglement entropy scaling under a spatial bipartition, for which the coefficient is universal and independent of the Luttinger parameter. Using quantum Monte Carlo calculations, we explicitly confirm the scaling predictions of Luttinger liquid theory for the Lieb-Liniger model of $δ$-function interacting bosons in the one dimensional spatial continuum.

Explaining Socioeconomic Disparities in Turnout: Health as a Mediator in the SES-Voting Relationship
Creators: name: Nelson, Micah Hayman
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The substantial gap in electoral participation between upper and lower socioeconomic status groups has long been a vexing problem for modern democracies and one that demands explanation. Following separate bodies of scholarship that suggest (1) socioeconomic disadvantage diminishes health and (2) poor health has a demobilizing effect on turnout, this paper proposes that health serves as a pathway through which social inequality manifests in disparities in voting. This paper tests this hypothesis by analyzing validated voter data using structural equation modeling to decompose the associations between SES indicators and turnout through health. This analysis yields evidence that health mediates the relationship between SES and electoral participation, though this mediation differs across socioeconomic indicators. These results suggest that the relative electoral inactivity of the disadvantaged is partly due to the demobilizing effects of diminished health and that health plays a role in transforming social inequalities into political ones.

description: This paper makes a case for developing a theory of quality ecologies in early childhood education and care, and presents our initial thoughts around how that might be done, including how it might create a space for further thinking, research and discussion. First, the politicised, positivist nature of dominant contemporary interpretations of quality is discussed, including our case for theoretical experimentation and diversification. Then, we discuss existing applications of ecologies theory in education research and the opportunities it presents, followed by our thinking so far around how it can be applied to critical theorisations of quality ecologies. Last, we outline our research program and what we envisage can be accomplished by a theory of quality ecologies in early childhood education.
Density form factors of the 1D Bose gas for finite entropy states

description: We consider the Lieb-Liniger model for a gas of bosonic $δ-$interacting particles. Using Algebraic Bethe Ansatz results we compute the thermodynamic limit of the form factors of the density operator between finite entropy eigenstates such as finite temperature states or generic non-equilibrium highly excited states. These form factors are crucial building blocks to obtain the thermodynamic exact dynamic correlation functions of such physically relevant states. As a proof of principle we compute an approximated dynamic structure factor by including only the simplest types of particle-hole excitations and show the agreement with known results.

description: We present zoom-in N-body + Hydrodynamic simulations of dwarf central galaxies formed in Warm Dark Matter (WDM) halos with masses at present-day of $2-4\times 10^{10}$ \msun. Two different cases are considered, the first one when halo masses are close to the corresponding half-mode filtering scale \Mhm\ (\mwdm =1.2 keV), and the second when they are 20 to 30 times the corresponding \Mhm\ (\mwdm = 3.0 keV). The WDM simulations are compared with the respective Cold Dark Matter (CDM) simulations. The dwarfs formed in halos of masses (20-30)\Mhm have roughly similar properties and evolution than their CDM counterparts; on the contrary, those formed in halos of masses around \Mhm, are systematically different from their CDM counterparts. As compared to the CDM dwarfs, they assemble the dark and stellar masses later, having mass-weighted stellar ages 1.4--4.8 Gyr younger; their circular velocity profiles are shallower, with maximal velocities 20--60% lower; their stellar distributions are much less centrally concentrated and with larger effective radii, by factors 1.3--3. The WDM dwarfs at the filtering scale (\mwdm =1.2 keV) have disk-like structures, and end in most cases with higher gas fractions and lower stellar-to-total mass ratios than their CDM counterparts. The late halo assembly, low halo concentrations, and the absence of satellites of the former with respect to the latter, are at the basis of the differences.

description: Many bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are processed resulting in variants with roles potentially distinct from the primary sRNAs. In Enterobacteriaceae sRNA GlmZ activates expression of glmS by base-pairing when the levels of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) are low. GlmS synthesizes GlcN6P, which is required for cell envelope biosynthesis. When dispensable, GlmZ is cleaved by RNase E in the base-pairing sequence. Processing requires protein RapZ, which binds GlmZ and recruits RNase E by interaction. Cleavage is counteracted by the homologous sRNA GlmY, which accumulates upon GlcN6P scarcity and sequesters RapZ. Here, we report a novel role for a processed sRNA. We observed that processing of GlmZ is never complete in vivo. Even upon RapZ overproduction, a fraction of GlmZ remains full-length, while the 5ʹ cleavage product (GlmZ*) accumulates. GlmZ* retains all elements required for RapZ binding. Accordingly, GlmZ* can displace full-length GlmZ from RapZ and counteract processing in vitro. To mimic GlmZ* in vivo, sRNA chimeras were employed consisting of foreign 3ʹ ends including a terminator fused to the 3ʹ end of GlmZ*. In vitro, these chimeras perform indistinguishable from GlmZ*. Expression of the chimeras in vivo inhibited processing of endogenous GlmZ, causing moderate upregulation of GlmS synthesis. Hence, accumulation of GlmZ* prevents complete GlmZ turnover. This mechanism may serve to adjust a robust glmS basal expression level that is buffered against fluctuations in RapZ availability.
