Learning from multimedia materials: The relative impact of individual differences
Creators: name: Grimley, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores whether the principles of cognitive load and multimedia theory are mediated by cognitive style, gender, and prior knowledge. Participants were 91 children aged 10-11 years (54 boys, 37 girls), each assigned to one of two presentation modes. In Condition 1 children were presented with diagrams supported by printed textual material. In Condition 2 the same diagrams were supported by narrated text. Condition 1 was designed in the conventional manner but Condition 2 was designed to adhere to cognitive load and multimedia theory. Then the children were asked a number of comprehension questions, an outcome measure requiring assimilation of information from both pictures and words. The Cognitive Style Analysis was administered to measure wholist-analytic style and verbal-imagery style. Results from national achievement tests were used as indicators of prior knowledge. Results indicate that outcome is differentiated by style, gender, and prior knowledge, and not just instructional design.

description: Bayesian Decision Analysis (BDA) uses Bayesian statistics to integrate multiple types of exposure information and classify exposures within the exposure rating categorization scheme promoted in American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) publications. Prior distributions for BDA may be developed from existing monitoring data, mathematical models, or professional judgment. Professional judgments may misclassify exposures. We suggest that a structured qualitative risk assessment (QLRA) method can provide consistency and transparency in professional judgments. In this analysis, we use a structured QLRA method to define prior distributions (priors) for BDA. We applied this approach at three semiconductor facilities in South Korea, and present an evaluation of the performance of structured QLRA for determination of priors, and an evaluation of occupational exposures using BDA. Specifically, the structured QLRA was applied to chemical agents in similar exposure groups to identify provisional risk ratings. Standard priors were developed for each risk rating before review of historical monitoring data. Newly collected monitoring data were used to update priors informed by QLRA or historical monitoring data, and determine the posterior distribution. Exposure ratings were defined by the rating category with the highest probability—i.e., the most likely. We found the most likely exposure rating in the QLRA-informed priors to be consistent with historical and newly collected monitoring data, and the posterior exposure ratings developed with QLRA-informed priors to be equal to or greater than those developed with data-informed priors in 94% of comparisons. Overall, exposures at these facilities are consistent with well-controlled work environments. That is, the 95th percentile of exposure distributions are ≤50% of the occupational exposure limit (OEL) for all chemical-SEG combinations evaluated; and are ≤10% of the limit for 94% of chemical-SEG combinations evaluated.
Electron Thermal Transport in the Madison Symmetric Torus

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2002

description: Due to diagnostic improvements and the development of the MSTFit equilibrium reconstruction code, it has become possible for the first time to accurately characterize the transport behavior of MST plasmas over the sawtooth cycle. Magnetic fluctuations in the MST reversed-field pinch, which rise sharply at the crash, play a significant role in the transport of heat and particles. The RFP configuration is a good test bed for studying magnetic fluctuation induced transport since the overlapping magnetic tearing mode islands create a large radial region in which the magnetic flux surfaces are destroyed and field lines wander stochastically. The measured electron thermal conductivity in this stochastic region agrees with Rechester-Rosenbluth like predictions from a fluctuating magnetic field. Time evolving profiles are measured to understand electron heat and particle transport in the MST. In particular, electron temperature, electron density, and current density profiles have been measured during a “Standard” plasma sawtooth cycle. The MHD activity during the sawtooth cycle is examined as an a priori, time-evolving condition that is affecting the plasma equilibrium and consequently the transport of heat and particles. The cause of the MHD behavior is not central to this thesis. Rather, the effects of the fluctuations on transport are considered. The current density peaks up as the sawtooth crash is approached. This current peaking pushes the plasma farther away from the Taylor minimum-energy state and causes (possibly dynamo driven) tearing instabilities to grow. At the crash the current density profile broadens, resulting in a flatter l-profile, and a plasma that is closer to a Taylor minimum-energy state. Another effect of the peaking current density is to broaden the q-profile. Lower q-shear results in a more stochastic magnetic field in the region where tearing mode islands overlap. Greater field stochasticity leads to enhanced transport of heat and particles by the electrons, and the electron temperature is observed to drop. After the sawtooth crash, the current density broadens, the q-profile peaks, the q-shear is increased in the region of overlapping islands, the field stochasticity is reduced, and the electron heat transport falls. Experiments are also carried out in a number of different discharge conditions, and the results from these experiments are compared to the Standard plasma results. Time evolved measurements of thermodynamic profiles have been obtained in a variety of MST discharges (PPCD, F=-0.22, F=0, F=+0.02, F=+0.03), leading to the first measurement of radially resolved, time evolving heat transport in the MST. m=0 modes are reduced in F=0 plasmas, and confinement is observed to improve, but degrades rapidly as F is raised above zero.

An exploration of the interaction between speech rate, gender, and cognitive style in their effect on recall
Creators: name: Grimley, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores how the interaction between cognitive style, gender, and type of task predicts task outcome, particularly when presentation speed is varied. A sample of 91 11-year-old pupils completed the Cognitive Style Analysis. Pupils were assigned to one of two groups balanced for gender and cognitive style. Group 1 listened to a recording of a passage presented at 84wpm; Group 2 listened to the same passage at 197wpm. Pupils were then required to comprehend and recall information from the passage that required assimilation of distantly positioned information. Male verbalisers and female imagers performed well in the slow condition but poorly in the fast condition. Female verbalisers showed improved performance in the fast condition. Results indicate that the interaction between verbal-imagery style and gender predicts the outcome of verbal tasks, especially when processing speed is restricted. These results support differences in information processing between genders and also suggest that this processing is mediated by verbal-imagery cognitive style.

description: Les Papiers Patin se présentent comme des cahiers de notes extrêmement abondants rédigés initialement par le médecin érudit Guy Patin (1601-1672), desquels ont été ensuite tirés, peut-être à l’initiative de Patin lui-même, des recueils manuscrits de notices. Dans une lettre à André Falconet de 1659, Patin parle de ses « cahiers historiques et politiques dans lesquelles il y a bien des particularités » ; il ajoute : « ces manuscrits prennent les gens par le nez, et les empêchent de devenir de grands sots : cela me réjouit »[1]. Il s'agit de notes prises au vif ou à la suite de conversations savantes entre Patin et des personnalités telles que Daniel Heinsius, les frères Dupuy, Hugo Grotius ou encore, et pour une grande partie du manuscrit, Gabriel Naudé. C’est de cet ensemble de notes qu’ont été tirés les Naudeana et Patiniana imprimés au tout début du XVIIIe siècle. Le rôle historiographique de ce corpus de recueils manuscrits est très important même s’il est resté largement inédit, car il constitue, en effet l’une des sources majeures de René Pintard dans son grand ouvrage Le libertinage érudit dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle[2]. Nous avons choisi d’éditer le manuscrit conservé à la Bibliothèque d’État de Vienne car il nous est apparu comme le plus important, le plus riche, le plus riche d’informations et le plus précis concernant l’identité des interlocuteurs de Patin dont la conversation est la source principale : Grotius, Nicolas Bourbon, Gabriel Naudé, etc.

Les Papiers Patin sont donc des documents historiques authentiques extrêmement précieux pour comprendre la relation de ces lettrés que Pintard a appelé les « libertins érudits » à l’Italie en général et aux réseaux universitaires italiens en particulier.

Le choix de l'xml-tei pour éditer ces Papiers a été dicté par leur structure encyclopédique. Ce sont souvent de véritables notices biographiques un peu dans l’esprit de ce que sera le Dictionnaire historique et critique de Pierre Bayle, parfois des informations sur des livres, des commentaires savants, des anecdotes, des considérations politiques, des vers latins de pièces qui ne nous sont pas autrement parvenus, etc.

L'encodage en tei (Text Encoding Initialtive) permet de mettre en évidence la manière dont s’établissent et dont fonctionnent les réseaux savants en Europe, en donnant à voir où et comment ceux-ci se forment, quels types de relation les constituent, quel type de lexique et plus généralement de langage les caractérisent. Elle permet également de mettre en lumière les contenus des savoirs proprement dits, produisant, sur l’ensemble du texte, une compréhension des savoirs semi-clandestins sur les hommes et les livres, qui serait très difficilement accessible autrement.

A Reinvestigation of the Spearfishing Subsector of Jamaica

description: The current status of Jamaica’s reef fisheries is extremely over-exploited. As such, efforts must be made to understand the separate fishing techniques, their value and necessity in order to determine if any alterations in current operations can yield positive effects on the country’s reef fishery. This research aims to accomplish this, by creating a profile for the Spearfishing subsector in Jamaica. The data was obtained through the administration of questionnaires to a suitably sized sample set of spear-fishers islandwide. This produced statistical data on the average daily catch weight (18.12 ± 1.8 kg/day), average daily effort in hours (4.53 ± 0.09 hrs./day), specific gear types (Freelung or no additional air supply, Hookah Apparatus and SCUBA gear in order of popularity), the popularity of certain fishing locations, and most common fish species targeted, among other relevant information. Those that employ the use of the Hookah apparatus were found to catch a significantly greater daily weight than those employing the use of SCUBA gear or practicing Freelung Spearfishing. Opinions of the spear-fishers interviewed were also captured, and showed that the majority of those interviewed depended on spearfishing completely to earn a living, and would become unemployed if a complete ban were to be placed on the method. The profile created presents spearfishing as a distinct and significant subsector of commercial fishing in Jamaica. An average spearfisher was found to contribute as much as 4.24 tonnes to the annual marine landings and as many as 10.6 ± 0.2 % of all fishermen in Jamaica practice Spearfishing. The recommendations made by the researcher are geared towards the strict regulation of spearfishing in Jamaica, including a ban on the use of Hookah apparatus and enforcement of the current ban on Night Diving, as well as direct monitoring of the subsector by ensuring that all practicing spearfishers are registered as such.

description: Dietary exposure to trace elements (aluminium, antimony, barium, cadmium, lead, nickel, vanadium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, germanium, lithium, strontium and tellurium) was assessed by the total diet study (TDS) method. Sixty-four pooled samples representing 96.5% of the diet in Yaoundé, Cameroon, were prepared “as consumed” before analysis. Consumption data were sourced from a households’ budget survey. Dietary exposures were compared with health-based guidance or nutritional values and to worldwide TDS results. The health-based guidance value was exceeded by ≤ 0.2% of the study population for aluminium, antimony, barium, cadmium, nickel and vanadium. For lead, the observed 95th percentile of exposure (3.05 µg kg−1 body weight day−1) equals the critical value considered by JECFA for cardiovascular effects; therefore, risk to health cannot be excluded for certain consumer groups. The population at risk of excess intake for manganese, copper, molybdenum and nickel was considered to be low (≤ 0.3%). The prevalence of inadequate intake was estimated at 5.9% for copper and was nil for molybdenum. Due to the lack of toxicological and/or nutritional consistent data to perform a risk assessment, dietary exposures to germanium, lithium, strontium and tellurium were provided as supplementary data. The food groups highest contributors to exposure were “tubers and starches” for aluminium (27%), lead (39%) and copper (26%), “cereals and cereal products” for cadmium (54%) and manganese (35%), “fruits, vegetables and oilseeds” for barium (34%), molybdenum (49%) and nickel (31%), “beverages” for antimony (27%) and “fish” for vanadium (43% – lower bound). Measures should be recommended to maintain low levels of exposure before the problem could become an important health or trade issue.
Moving boundary shallow water flow above parabolic bottom topography

Year: 2024

description: Exact solutions of the two dimensional nonlinear shallow water wave equations for flow involving linear bottom friction and with no forcing are found for flow above parabolic bottom topography. These solutions also involve moving shorelines. The motion decays over time. In the solution of the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential shallow water wave equations it is assumed that the velocity is a function of time only and along one axis. This assumption reduces the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential equations to two simultaneous linear ordinary differential equations . The solutions found are useful for testing numerical solutions of the nonlinear shallow water wave equations which include bottom friction and whose flow involves moving shorelines.

description: The memory wall places a significant limit on performance for many modern workloads. These applications feature complex chains of dependent, indirect memory accesses, which cannot be picked up by even the most advanced microarchitectural prefetchers. The result is that current out-of-order superscalar processors spend the majority of their time stalled. While it is possible to build special-purpose architectures to exploit the fundamental memory-level parallelism, a microarchitectural technique to automatically improve their performance in conventional processors has remained elusive. Runahead execution is a tempting proposition for hiding latency in program execution. However, to achieve high memory- level parallelism, a standard runahead execution skips ahead of cache misses. In modern workloads, this means it only prefetches the first cache-missing load in each dependent chain. We argue that this is not a fundamental limitation. If runahead were instead to stall on cache misses to generate dependent chain loads, then it could regain performance if it could stall on many at once. With this insight, we present Vector Runahead, a technique that prefetches entire load chains and speculatively reorders scalar operations from multiple loop iterations into vector format to bring in many independent loads at once. Vectorization of the runahead instruction stream increases the effective fetch/decode bandwidth with reduced resource requirements, to achieve high degrees of memory-level parallelism at a much faster rate. Across a variety of memory-latency-bound indirect workloads, Vector Runahead achieves a 1.79× performance speedup on a large out-of-order superscalar system, significantly improving on state- of-the-art techniques.

description: Soil seed banks are an important component of plant community diversity in ephemeral wetlands, allowing many species to persist through unpredictable periods of flood and drought. Spatial variation of extant vegetation in such habitats commonly reflects patterns of flood history and often varies predictably between broadly differing hydro-geomorphic habitat types. Here we investigate whether spatial variation of soil seed banks is similarly controlled by fluvial processes at this scale. Results are presented from a seedling emergence trial using samples collected from a range of habitat types, and at different scales within these, in the ephemeral Narran Lakes system in semi-arid Australia. Composition and structure of soil seed banks varied significantly between habitat types reflecting broad differences in flood frequency. As predicted, germinable seed abundance was found to be highest in intermediately flooded habitats. Variability in soil seed bank composition at a local scale was also found to be influenced by hydrology with greater spatial heterogeneity evident in the river channel as well as amongst the least frequently inundated riparian and floodplain habitats.

description: Coevolution between supermassive black holes (BH) and their host galaxies is universally adopted in models for galaxy formation. In the absence of feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs), simulated massive galaxies keep forming stars in the local universe. From an observational point of view, however, such coevolution remains unclear. We present a stellar population analysis of galaxies with direct BH mass measurements and the BH mass-sigma relation as a working framework. We find that over-massive BH galaxies, i.e., galaxies lying above the best-fitting BH mass-sigma line, tend to be older and more alpha-element-enhanced than under-massive BH galaxies. The scatter in the BH mass-sigma-[alpha/Fe] plane is significantly lower than that in the standard BH mass-sigma relation. We interpret this trend as an imprint of AGN feedback on the star formation histories of massive galaxies.

Rethinking corporate governance part 1: structure of governance at the Day Chocolate Company

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This paper offers a case study of the structural aspects of the corporate governance model operated by The Day Chocolate Company (DCC). This company is a fair trade start-up, operating in the UK confectionery sector with the aim of providing market access for the Ghanaian cocoa growers co-operative Kuapa Kokoo. In contrast to the Anglo-American governance model, centred on structural arrangements at the firm level, the case example presented here is a more inclusive stakeholder approach involving partners across the supply chain and external Fair Trade accreditation agencies. It is argued that effective governance, in this company, derives from relationships between stakeholders and the corporate credibility produced by independent external evaluation. The argument therefore prioritises social capital over structural checks and balances prescribed by formalised codes of practice associated with Anglo-American governance models. In so doing, the possibility of developing innovative and more socially oriented governance models in the context of prevailing Anglo-American financial and market institutions is highlighted.

description: A simple and accurate experimental method is described for determining the effective cantilever spring constant and the detector sensitivity of atomic force microscopy cantilevers on which a colloidal particle is attached. By attaching large (approximately 85 μm diameter) latex particles at various positions along the V-shaped cantilevers, we demonstrate how the normal and lateral spring constants as well as the sensitivity vary with loading position. Comparison with an explicit point-load theoretical model has also been used to verify the accuracy of the method.

description: Modern systems-on-chip (SoCs) include not only general-purpose CPUs but also specialized hardware accelerators. Typically, there are three coherence model choices to integrate an accelerator with the memory hierarchy: no coherence, coherent with the last-level cache (LLC), and private cache based full coherence. However, there has been very limited research on finding which coherence models are optimal for the accelerators of a complex many-Accelerator SoC. This paper focuses on determining a cost-Aware coherence interface for an SoC and its target application: find the best coherence models for the accelerators that optimize their power and performance, considering both workload characteristics and system-level contention. A novel comprehensive methodology is proposed that uses Bayesian optimization to efficiently find the cost-Aware coherence interfaces for SoCs that are modeled using the gem5-Aladdin architectural simulator. For a complete analysis, gem5-Aladdin is extended to support LLC coherence in addition to already-supported no coherence and full coherence. For a heterogeneous SoC targeting applications with varying amount of accelerator-level parallelism, the proposed framework rapidly finds cost-Aware coherence interfaces that show significant performance and power benefits over the other commonly-used coherence interfaces.

The influence of discrete surface charges on the force between charged surfaces
Creators: name: Khan, Malek O.
name: Petris, Simon

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The force between two parallel charged flat surfaces, with discrete surface charges, has been calculated with Monte Carlo simulations for different values of the electrostatic coupling. For low electrostatic coupling (small counterion valence, small surface charge, high dielectric constant, and high temperature) the total force is dominated by the entropic contribution and can be described by mean field theory, independent of the character of the surface charges. For moderate electrostatic coupling, counterion correlation effects lead to a smaller repulsion than predicted by mean field theory. This correlation effect is strengthened by discrete surface charges and the repulsive force is further reduced. For large electrostatic coupling the total force for smeared out surface charges is known to be attractive due to counterion correlations. If discrete surface charges are considered the attractive force is weakened and can even be turned into a repulsive force. This is due to the counterions being strongly correlated to the discrete surface charges forming effective, oppositely directed, dipoles on the two walls.

description: In a distributed component based system, it is important to model and specify the QoS (quality of services) requirements of software components. In this paper we propose a security specification structure that can be used to model and specify required and ensured security properties of software components. The specification of security requirements can be an aid to software engineers on two main fronts: (i) to specify security requirements during the development of software components, (ii) with support for introspection, a candidate component can be queried about its required and ensured security properties by other software components or human composers in distributed environments. Our proposed specification structure is intended to capture and model pre and post execution security behaviour of software components. The paper provides a preliminary modelling of security function primitives of software components.

Wer seine Zeichen und Gesetze dennoch exklusiv halten will, sollte darum darüber nachdenken, auf Alternativbegriffe zur Ehe umzusteigen.

description: his is a fun discussion paper on the concept of the artificial habitability zone. This must be differentiated from a natural habitability zone, with which Mars is shown so commonly to be on the outer edge. I use a hypothetical planet design to show how a planet can be made to be habitable at virtually any distance from the host star. This discussion paper is not necessarily meant to be subjected to any intense theoretical scrutiny. It is mostly an engineering concept. Also, understand this is a work in progress, and updated versions will come out shortly.

description: The structural properties and thermodynamics of one- and two-component solutions of charged colloidal particles with explicit counterions have been investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. A boot-strap Poisson-Boltzmann (BSPB) theory has been developed to interpret these results and the accuracy of its predictions is compared with other existing theories. The BSPB was also used to predict the gas-liquid binodal and spinodal curves for a one-component system with colloid charge to counterion-charge ratio Zr = 10.

description: Der juristische Kampf um das Protestcamp gegen den G20-Gipfel in Hamburg war keine ruhmvolle Episode in der Geschichte des Grundrechts auf Versammlungsfreiheit. Die Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts war eine Mogelpackung, die Einwände der Stadt Hamburg eine Farce, und der einstweilige Rechtsschutz hat sich vorläufig als unfähig erwiesen, Rechtsfrieden herzustellen. Es zeigt sich, dass der Rechtsunterworfene, nur weil er vor Gericht obsiegt, noch lange nicht zu seinem Recht kommen muss, sondern mitunter wieder genau da anlangt, wo er am Anfang gestartet ist.

The phase behavior of charged colloidal systems in the mean spherical approximation
Creators: name: Petris, Simon N.
name: Chan, Derek
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The mean spherical approximation (MSA) was used to investigate the phase behavior of charged colloidal systems with and without added salt. The competition between cohesive Coulomb interactions and stabilizing entropic and hard-core interactions controls the stability of the system and under certain circumstances, a liquid-gas-type phase transition can occur. The critical parameters and phase diagrams in the MSA obtained via the internal energy path, are compared with two-component Monte Carlo simulations and other theoretical approaches.

description: Die Hämolyse führt zur Freisetzung von Hämoglobin und Hämin aus den Erythrozyten. Es wurde beschrieben, dass Hämin die Thrombozytenaktivierung induziert und damit Thrombusformationen auslöst. Hämin gilt ebenfalls als Ligand für den Kollagenrezeptor GPVI auf Thrombozyten. Die vorliegende Dissertation verfolgt das Bestreben, die Hämin-induzierte Thrombozytenaktivierung weitergehend darzulegen und ermittelt daher den Einfluss von Hämin auf den Kollagenrezeptor GPVI und das Zusammenspiel mit verschieden Inhibitoren, unter anderem dem Furin-Inhibitor SSM3. Die ausgeführten Versuche zeigen die Wirkung von Hämin auf die Thrombozytenfunktion und die Oberflächenexpression des Thrombozytenkollagenrezeptors GPVI. Isolierte Thrombozyten wurden mittels verschiedener Methoden wie der Durchflusszytometrie, der Lichttransmissionsaggregometrie, der in vitro Thrombusformation und Immnunoblots mit steigenden Konzentrationen von Hämin stimuliert. Hämin erhöhte die Thrombozytenaktivierung, -aggregation und -aggregatbildung auf immobilisiertem Kollagen signifikant. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigte sich, dass die Oberflächenexpression von GPVI bei der Stimulation mit hohen Hämin-Konzentrationen signifikant reduziert wurde. Der Verlust der Hämin-induzierten Oberflächenexpression von GPVI wurde durch das Abspalten der Ektodomäne von GPVI verursacht, wie durch Immunoblotting nachgewiesen wurde, und ist unabhängig vom GPVI- oder CLEC-2-vermittelten ITAM-Signalweg. Der durch Hämin induzierte GPVI-Abbau ist unabhängig von den Metalloproteinasen wie ADAM10 oder ADAM17, welche in der Literatur bereits bekannt das GPVI-Shedding regulieren. In ähnlicher Weise wurde auch für weitere Rezeptoren ein konzentrationsabhängiges Shedding durch Hämin induziert. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurde gezeigt, dass die Subtilisin-ähnliche Proprotein-Konvertase Furin die Hämin-abhängige GPVI-Spaltung beeinflusst, wie Inhibitorstudien mit dem spezifischen Furin-Inhibitor SSM3 zeigten. In Anwesenheit von SSM3 war das Hämin-assoziierte GPVI-Shedding signifikant reduziert. Darüber hinaus hemmte SSM3 die Hämin-, nicht aber die CRP-XL-induzierte Thrombozytenaggregation und Thrombusbildung, was darauf hindeutet, dass Furin speziell die Hämin-assoziierte Thrombozytenfunktionen kontrolliert.

description: Fällt nach der Einführung der Ehe für alle der grundgesetzliche und der zivilrechtliche Ehebegriff auseinander? Das wäre nicht nur für die Ehe für alle als eine politische Errungenschaft, sondern auch für das Grundgesetz selbst ausgesprochen unglücklich. Wenn der Gesetzgeber in diesem Sinne die Ehe für alle öffnet, kann das dementsprechend den verfassungsrechtlichen Ehebegriff nicht unberührt lassen.

description: Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) switch, on roughly multi-year timescales, between rotation-powered radio millisecond pulsar (RMSP) and accretion-powered low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) states. The tMSPs have raised several questions related to the nature of accretion flow in their LMXB state and the mechanism that causes the state switch. The discovery of coherent X-ray pulsations from PSR J1023+0038 (while in the LMXB state) provides us with the first opportunity to perform timing observations and to compare the neutron star's spin variation during this state to the measured spin-down in the RMSP state. Whereas the X-ray pulsations in the LMXB state likely indicate that some material is accreting onto the neutron star's magnetic polar caps, radio continuum observations indicate the presence of an outflow. The fraction of the inflowing material being ejected is not clear, but it may be much larger than that reaching the neutron star's surface. Timing observations can measure the total torque on the neutron star. We have phase-connected nine XMM-Newton observations of PSR J1023+0038 over the last 2.5 years of the LMXB state to establish a precise measurement of spin evolution. We find that the average spin-down rate as an LMXB is 26.8 ± 0.4% faster than the rate (−2.39 × 10−15 Hz s−1) determined during the RMSP state. This shows that negative angular momentum contributions (dipolar magnetic braking, and outflow) exceed positive ones (accreted material), and suggests that the pulsar wind continues to operate at a largely unmodified level. We discuss implications of this tight observational constraint in the context of possible accretion models.

description: The concept of mRNA-based protein supplementation relies on introducing synthetic mRNA as a transient carrier of genetic information into an organism, where it is translated into the desired therapeutic protein using the cell's machinery. mRNA-based approaches have become increasingly popular as an alternative to DNA-based gene therapy for replacing absent or faulty protein. The landmark discovery that RNA immunogenicity can be reduced by incorporating modified nucleotides initiated the advancement of mRNA from an underappreciated molecule to a promising new class of therapeutics. This thesis investigates the impact of the chemically modified nucleotides N4- acetylcytidine (ac4C) and N1-methylpseudouridine (N1Ψ) incorporated in IVT mRNA on the kinetic profile of protein translation. mKate2-encoding synthetic mRNA modified with N1Ψ and ac4C was transfected into A549 cells in vitro. For comparison, mRNA modified with Ψ and m5C as well as mRNA modified with N1Ψ and m5C, which represent the former and current state-of-the-art modifications to enhance translational capacity and cell viability, were included in the investigations in addition to unmodified mRNA. Subsequently, their translational kinetics, mRNA decay, and their influence on cell viability were examined over time. mRNA modified with N1Ψ and ac4C demonstrated superior translational capacity that lasted for at least 5 days and resulted in a higher yield of reporter protein mKate2. Additionally, N1Ψ- and ac4C-modified mRNA caused only marginal cytotoxicity, resulting in minor losses in terms of cell viability. These results indicate the potential of modifying IVT mRNA with N1Ψ and ac4C as a promising tool for mRNA-based protein supplementation.
