description: Interleukin-36α is a novel member of the IL-1 cytokine family that is highly expressed in epithelial tissues and several myeloid-derived cell types after induction. The transcription factor (TF) C/EBPβ binds specifically to an essential half-CRE•C/EBP motif in the Il36a promoter to induce Il36a expression upon LPS stimulation. C/EBPs regulate gene expression by binding to recognition sequences that can contain 5′-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3′ dinucleotides (CpG), whose methylation can influence TF binding and gene expression. Herein we show that the half-CRE•C/EBP element in the Il36a promoter is differentially methylated in the murine RAW264.7 macrophage cell line and in primary murine macrophages. We demonstrate that C/EBPβ binding to the half-CRE•C/EBP element in the Il36a promoter following LPS stimulation is insensitive to CpG methylation and that methylation of the CpG in the half-CRE•C/EBP element does not alter LPS-induced Il36a promoter activity which correlated with similar Il36a mRNA copy numbers and pro-IL-36α protein amount in both cell types. Taken together, our data indicate that C/EBPβ binding to the half-CRE•C/EBP element and subsequent gene activation occurs independently of the CpG methylation status of the half-CRE•C/EBP motif and underlines the potential of C/EBPs to recognize methylated as well as unmethylated motifs.

description: We investigate thinness of hog and pork markets in terms of quantity and representativeness of negotiated transactions. Transactional volume imparts marginally greater confidence in pricing precision for Iowa-Southern Minnesota negotiated hogs than for the national carcass cut-out, suggesting that contracts tying prices to the former rather than the latter may be more representative of industry conditions. Extending mandatory price reporting to pork may remedy this discrepancy. Despite declining volume, terminal hog markets may price accurately off of Iowa-Southern Minnesota prices. Hog quality differentials across procurement methods are documented, and quality of negotiated hogs is shown to decline with volume.

description: We revisit the impact of the International Coffee Agreement (ICA) on international-to-retail price transmission. We account for two distinct dimensions (e.g. symmetry vs. asymmetry and linearity vs. nonlinearity) of price transmission from international to retail coffee prices in France, Germany and the United States. We show that ignoring these two features of the price transmission process may lead to misleading impact assessments of the ICA elimination in 1990. Our results confirm the presence of threshold effects in price transmission in both periods (ICA and post-ICA) in the three countries. Our estimates show that, in the long-run, the speed of adjustment toward equilibrium becomes faster during the post-ICA period in France and Germany. Our results suggest that, for France and Germany, changes in international prices did not influence retail prices in the short-run during the ICA period; in contrast, retail prices responded to changes in international prices in the post-ICA period. We find differences between the two European countries and the United States. Our results indicate that changes in international prices influenced U.S. retail prices in both periods. Nonlinear impulse response analysis indicates that ICA elimination increased the speed of adjustment toward the long-run equilibrium, given a shock in international coffee prices. Overall, our results show that ignoring nonlinearities and asymmetries in price transmission may lead to incorrect impact assessment of policies affecting global agricultural supply chains.

description: We formulate the theory for steering an active particle with optimal travel time between two locations and apply it to the Mexican hat potential without brim. For small heights the particle can cross the potential barrier, while for large heights it has to move around it. Thermal fluctuations in the orientation strongly affect the path over the barrier. Then we consider a smart active particle and apply reinforcement learning. We show how the active particle learns in repeating episodes to move optimally. The optimal steering is stored in the optimized action-value function, which is able to rectify thermal fluctuations.

This framework formulates machine learning methods for the analysis of multi-scale stochastic systems from short, massively parallel molecular dynamical simulations. We identify key intermediate states and dominant pathways of the process. Furthermore, we identify the optimally timescale-preserving reaction coordinate for the dock-lock process to a fixed pre-formed fibril and show that it exhibits strong correlation with the mean native hydrogen-bond distance. These results pave the way for a comprehensive model reduction and multi-scale analysis of amyloid fibrillation processes.

Coincidence Detection for Neutron Activation Analysis

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2000
Subjects: Physics

description: A new large neutrino detector called KamLAND (Kamioka Liquid scintillator AntiN
eutrino Detector) is currently being constructed in the underground site in Japan that used
to be the home of the Kamiokande experiment. The principal goal of this international collaboration
will be to investigate neutrino oscillations by studying the flux and energy spectra
of neutrinos produced by nuclear reactors in Japan. KamLAND will also be measuring solar
neutrinos in an effort to solve the solar neutrino deficit puzzle. In addition, it is possible
to extract the ratio of uranium to thorium in the crust and mantle of the Earth from the
background of the reactor neutrino spectra.

To achieve high precisions in the measurements, KamLAND must first minimize its
background signals. The collaborators at Caltech have been involved in measuring the
radioactivity of the materials used in constructing the detector. Gamma sources in the
materials are typically detected by placing them next to a Germanium detector in a wellshielded
box. However, as will be shown in the next section, conventional detectors can not
achieve the level of sensitivity necessary to detect the small amounts of radioactivity allowed
in the KamLAND scintillator. The purpose of this thesis project is to design and build a
coincidence setup that will be able to measure the radioactivity of the liquid scintillator at
KamLAND using Neutron Activation Analysis of an irradiated sample.
Universal Relation Between Thermodynamic Driving Force and One-Way Fluxes in a Nonequilibrium Chemical Reaction with Complex Mechanism

description: In nonequilibrium chemical reaction systems, a fundamental relationship between unbalanced kinetic one-way fluxes and thermodynamic chemical driving forces is believed to exists. However this relation has been rigorously demonstrated only in a few cases in which one-way fluxes are well defined. In terms of its stochastic kinetic representation, we formulate the one-way fluxes for a general chemical reaction far from equilibrium, with arbitrary complex mechanisms, multiple intermediates, and internal kinetic cycles. For each kinetic cycle, the logarithm of the ratio of the steady-state forward and backward one-way fluxes is equal to the free energy difference between the reactants and products along the cycle. This fundamental relation is further established for general chemical reaction networks with multiple input and output complexes. Our result not only provides an equivalent definition of free energy difference in nonequilibrium chemical reaction networks, it also unifies the stochastic and macroscopic nonequilibrium chemical thermodynamics in a very broad sense.

INTRODUCTION OF INFINITE AND THALAS NUMBERS
Creators: name: Thalassinakis Emmanuel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: In this study, a set of new numbers, infinite - thalas numbers, is introduced. Infinite numbers are defined as limits of complex functions that tend to infinity. In infinity, two arguments are added; the velocity at which a complex function tends to infinity and its angle on the complex plane. This way a quantification of infinity is obtained and new numbers, the infinite numbers are determined. Firstly, the infinity unit is defined which is the limit of a function tending to infinity with i) a velocity equal to the real unit and ii) a zero angle on the complex plane. Based on the infinity unit definition, all infinite numbers are also defined. The logarithm of the infinity unit is obtained which is called log-infinity unit, and furthermore the log-infinite numbers are also determined. Considering an ortho-normal axle system, with units on the three vertical axes, respectively, the real numbers unit, the imaginary unit (i), and the log-infinity unit, a broader set of new numbers in the three-dimensional space is introduced, named thalas numbers. These new numbers are proved to be useful with interesting properties.

description: We examine the 3-10 keV EPIC spectra of Mrk 205 and Mrk 509 to investigate their Fe K features. The most significant feature in the spectra of both objects is an emission line at 6.4 keV. The spectra can be adequately modelled with a power law and a relatively narrow (sigma < 0.2 keV) Fe K alpha emission line. Better fits are obtained when an additional Gaussian emission line, relativistic accretion-disk line, or Compton reflection from cold material, is added to the spectral model. We obtain similar goodness of fit for any of these three models, but the model including Compton reflection from cold material offers the simplest, physically self-consistent solution, because it only requires one reprocessing region. Thus the Fe K spectral features in Mrk 205 and Mrk 509 do not present strong evidence for reprocessing in the inner, relativistic parts of accretion disks.

The phase coherence of light from extragalactic sources - direct evidence against first order Planck scale fluctuations in time and space

description: We present a method of directly testing whether time continues to have its usual meaning on scales of <= t_P = sqrt(hbar G/c^5) ~ 5.4E-44 s, the Planck time. According to quantum gravity, the time t of an event cannot be determined more accurately than a standard deviation of the form sigma_t/t = a_o (t_P/t)^a, where a_o and a are positive constants ~1; likewise distances are subject to an ultimate uncertainty c σ_t, where c is the speed of light. As a consequence, the period and wavelength of light cannot be specified precisely; rather, they are independently subject to the same intrinsic limitations in our knowledge of time and space, so that even the most monochromatic plane wave must in reality be a superposition of waves with varying omega and {\bf k}, each having a different phase velcocity omega/k. For the entire accessible range of the electromagnetic spectrum this effect is extremely small, but can cumulatively lead to a complete loss of phase information if the emitted radiation propagated a sufficiently large distance. Since, at optical frequencies, the phase coherence of light from a distant point source is a necessary condition for the presence of diffraction patterns when the source is viewed through a telescope, such observations offer by far the most sensitive and uncontroversial test. We show that the HST detection of Airy rings from the active galaxy PKS1413+135, located at a distance of 1.2 Gpc, secures the exclusion of all first order (a=1) quantum gravity fluctuations with an amplitude a_o > 0.003. The same result may be used to deduce that the speed of light in vacuo is exact to a few parts in 10^32.

The RR Lyrae Star Period - K-band Luminosity Relation of the Globular Cluster M3
Creators: name: Butler, D. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: That the RR Lyrae star period -- K-band luminosity relation is a promising tool as a distance indicator in the Milky Way and Local Group of Galaxies is apparent on observational and theoretical grounds in the literature. Less clear is the sensitivity of the relation, and consequently the physics of horizontal branch stars, to differences in stellar environment. In this paper, the first measurement of the (fundamental) period -- K-band luminosity relation for the central region of a globular cluster is presented. It is based on a sample of seven RR Lyrae stars imaged with adaptive optics. In addition, the relation for the outer region has been reanalyzed, and is found to be in good agreement with both the previous estimate by Longmore et al. (1990), and with the inner region relation, especially when irregular and double-mode RR Lyrae stars are excluded. Importantly, there is no difference between the slope of the inner and outer region relation within measurement uncertainties, suggesting no difference in evolutionary state (luminosity). Taking the M3 distance modulus as 15.0 +/- 0.07mag, the period -- absolute K-band magnitude relation derived by linear least squares fitting is: M_K = -0.96 (+/- 0.10) - 2.42 (+/- 0.16)Log Po for the inner region. Excluding irregular variable stars, the outer region relation is: M_K = -1.07 (+/- 0.10) - 2.38 (+/- 0.15)Log Po. This good agreement provides further strong support for the near-IR period-luminosity relation as a distance indicator.

description: During vegetative growth plants pass from a juvenile to an adult phase causing changes in shoot morphology. This vegetative phase change is primarily regulated by the opposite actions of two microRNAs, the inhibitory miR156 and the promoting miR172 as well as their respective target genes, constituting the age pathway. Here we show that the phytohormone cytokinin promotes the juvenile-to-adult phase transition through regulating components of the age pathway. Reduction of cytokinin signalling substantially delayed the transition to the adult stage. tZ-type cytokinin was particularly important as compared to iP- and the inactive cZ-type cytokinin, and root-derived tZ influenced the phase transition significantly. Genetic and transcriptional analyses indicated the requirement of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) transcription factors and miR172 for cytokinin activity. Two miR172 targets, TARGET OF EAT1 (TOE1) and TOE2 encoding transcriptional repressors were necessary and sufficient to mediate the influence of cytokinin on vegetative phase change. This cytokinin pathway regulating plant aging adds to the complexity of the regulatory network controlling the juvenile-to-adult phase transition and links cytokinin to miRNA action.

With such masks, a single image can be used to probe a star for extrasolar planets. In this paper, we introduce a new class of shaped pupil masks that also provide annular dark zones. We call these masks starshaped masks. Given any circularly symmetric apodization function, we show how to construct a corresponding starshaped mask that has the same point-spread function (out to any given outer working distance) as obtained by the apodization.

description: In this work we use the string/gauge duality within the Softwall Model (SW). In this model a dilaton field is introduced in the action for the fields playing the role of a soft infrared (IR) cutoff. The SW model is very useful as it provides linear Regge trajectories for mesons. Here, using a $10-$dimensional SW model, we calculate the corresponding structure functions for deep inelastic scattering (DIS) in which electrons are scattered off hadrons in a kinematical regime where the hadrons are broken apart, with high virtuality $q$, in the exponentially small $x$ (Bjorken parameter) regime. Our results for this regime are consistent with those achieved using other holographic and non-holographic approaches.

 Diagnosis/Remarks. This species is the most easily recognizable aesaline in Central America. The clypeal apex is produced and narrowly rounded (Fig. 31), whereas in the other species of the subgenus the apex is not produced and subtriangular. The shape of the male genitalia is also distinct (Fig. 24, 28). This is the only species in the subgenus for which a female is known, albeit from an incomplete specimen. The styli of the genitalia are much shorter than in those of other species studied, peg-like, and not hooked. I collected the entire series of one living and a few dead, disarticulated specimens and body parts in a decaying pine log.
 Etymology. The specific epithet is a Latinized adjectival form of the Spanish term ‘ narizota’, meaning large nose. The gender is masculine.

description: Spin models arise in the microscopic description of magnetic materials, where the macroscopic characteristics are governed by exchange interactions among the constituent magnetic moments. Recently, there has been a growing interest in complex systems with spin Hamiltonians, largely due to the rich behaviors exhibited by such interactions at the macroscale. Along these lines, it has been shown that certain classes of optimization problems involving large degrees of freedom can be effectively mapped into classical spin models. In this vein, the respective extremum can be found by identifying the ground state of the associated spin Hamiltonian. Here, we show both theoretically and experimentally, that the cooperative interplay among vectorial electromagnetic modes in coupled metallic nanolasers can be utilized as a means to emulate certain types of spin-like systems. The ensuing spin exchange interactions are in general anisotropic, in a way similar to that encountered in magnetic materials involving spin-orbit coupling. For some topologies, we find that these active nanophotonic structures are governed by a classical XY Hamiltonian that exhibits two phases akin to those associated with ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) materials. In addition, we show that in certain configurations, the electromagnetic field distribution can undergo geometrical frustration, depending on the lattice shape and the transverse resonant modes supported by the individual cavity elements. Our results could pave the way towards a new scalable nanophotonic platform to study spin exchange interactions, that can in turn be potentially exploited to investigate more large-scale networks, emulate some magnetic materials, or to address a variety of optimization problems.

description: Päschke et al. (J Fluid Mech, 2012) studied the nonlinear dynamics of strongly tilted vortices subject to asymmetric diabatic heating by asymptotic methods. They found, inter alia, that an azimuthal Fourier mode 1 heating pattern can intensify or attenuate such a vortex depending on the relative orientation of the tilt and the heating asymmetries. The theory originally addressed the gradient wind regime which, asymptotically speaking, corresponds to vortex Rossby numbers of order unity in the limit. Formally, this restricts the applicability of the theory to rather weak vortices. It is shown below that said theory is, in contrast, uniformly valid for vanishing Coriolis parameter and thus applicable to vortices up to low hurricane strengths. An extended discussion of the asymptotics as regards their physical interpretation and their implications for the overall vortex dynamics is also provided in this context. The paper’s second contribution is a series of three-dimensional numerical simulations examining the effect of different orientations of dipolar diabatic heating on idealized tropical cyclones. Comparisons with numerical solutions of the asymptotic equations yield evidence that supports the original theoretical predictions of Päschke et al. In addition, the influence of asymmetric diabatic heating on the time evolution of the vortex centerline is further analyzed, and a steering mechanism that depends on the orientation of the heating dipole is revealed. Finally, the steering mechanism is traced back to the correlation of dipolar perturbations of potential temperature, induced by the vortex tilt, and vertical velocity, for which diabatic heating not necessarily needs to be responsible, but which may have other origins.

description: Conventional autonomous Unmanned Air Vehicle (abbr. UAV) autopilot systems use Global Navigation Satellite System (abbr. GNSS) signal for navigation. However, autopilot systems fail to navigate due to lost or jammed GNSS signal. To solve this problem, information from other sensors such as optical sensors are used. Monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping algorithms have been developed over the last few years and achieved state-of-the-art accuracy. Also, map matching localization approaches are used for UAV localization relatively to imagery from static maps such as Google Maps. Unfortunately, the accuracy and robustness of these algorithms are very dependent on up-to-date maps. The purpose of this research is to improve the accuracy and robustness of map relative Particle Filter based localization using a downward-facing optical camera mounted on an autonomous aircraft. This research shows how image similarity to likelihood conversion function impacts the results of Particle Filter localization algorithm. Two parametric image similarity to likelihood conversion functions (logistic and rectifying) are proposed. A dataset of simulated aerial imagery is used for experiments. The experiment results are shown, that the Particle Filter localization algorithm using the logistic function was able to surpass the accuracy of state-of-the-art ORB-SLAM2 algorithm by 2.6 times. The algorithm is shown to be able to navigate using up-to-date maps more accurately and with an average decrease of precision by 30% using out-of-date maps.

Imposing the Dominant Energy Condition, which guarantees stability of the theory, implies that w \geq -1. Nevertheless, it is conceivable that a well-defined model could (perhaps temporarily) have w

description: Three nearby galaxies which have abnormally high infrared to radio continuum ratios, NGC 1377, IC 1953 and NGC 4491, are investigated with a view to understanding the physical origin of their peculiarity. We review the existing data and present new radio continuum measurements along with near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy and molecular gas observations. The three galaxies have low luminosities but starburst-like infrared colors; in NGC 1377, no synchrotron emission is detected at any wavelength; in IC 1953, the observed synchrotron component is attributable to the spiral disk alone, and is lacking in the central regions; the radio spectrum of NGC 4491 is unusually flat. We also compare and contrast them with NGC 4418, a heavily extinguished galaxy which shares some attributes with them. After examining various scenarios, we conclude that these galaxies are most likely observed within a few Myr of the onset of an intense star formation episode after being quiescent for at least ~ 100 Myr. This starburst, while heating the dust, has not produced optical signatures nor a normal amount of cosmic rays yet. We briefly discuss the statistics of such galaxies and what they imply for star formation surveys.

Magnitude and nucleation time of the 2017 Pohang Earthquake point to its predictable artificial triggering

description: A damaging Mw5.5 earthquake occurred at Pohang, South Korea, in 2017, after stimulating an enhanced geothermal system by borehole fluid injections. The earthquake was likely triggered by these operations. Current approaches for predicting maximum induced earthquake magnitude (Mmax) consider the volume of the injected fluid as the main controlling factor. However, these approaches are unsuccessful in predicting earthquakes, such as the Pohang one. Here we analyse the case histories of induced earthquakes, and find that Mmax scales with the logarithm of the elapsed time from the beginning of the fluid injection to the earthquake occurrence. This is also the case for the Pohang Earthquake. Its significant probability was predictable. These results validate an alternative to predicting Mmax. It is to monitor the exceedance probability of an assumed Mmax in real time by monitoring the seismogenic index, a quantity that characterizes the intensity of the fluid-induced seismicity per unit injected volume.
Immobilization of water drops on hydrophobic surfaces by contact line pinning at non-lithographically generated polymer microfiber rings

description: Water drops used as reaction compartments are commonly immobilized on hydrophilic areas bordered by hydrophobic areas. For many applications, such as the trapping of non-adherent cells, it is desirable to exploit the inertness and the anti-fouling behavior of hydrophobic surfaces as well as their repulsive behavior towards adsorbates in lab-on-chip configurations. However, the immobilization of water drops on hydrophobic surfaces has remained challenging. We report a nonlithographic approach to arrest water drops on hydrophobically modified macroporous silicon (mSi) with per uorinated surface. Contact line pinning at rings of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) fibers protruding from the mSi macropores immobilizes water drops when the hydrophobically modified mSi is moved or tilted and prevents dewetting within the PS-b-P2VP fiber rings. Without PS-b-P2VP fiber rings, water drops readily roll off. The PS-b-P2VP fiber rings were prepared by dropping PS-b-P2VP solution onto hydrophobically modified mSi. Selective swelling of the P2VP in the thus-formed circular PS-b-P2VP films with hot ethanol followed by detachment of the latter yielded hydrophobically modified mSi exhibiting annular areas, in which ruptured PS-b-P2VP fibers protruded from the mSi macropores. For example, PS-b-P2VP fiber rings with diameters of 6.5 mm and widths of about 0.2 mm immobilize water drops with a volume of 50 microliters.

description: The global astrometric observations of a GAIA-like satellite were modeled within the PPN formulation of Post-Newtonian gravitation. An extensive experimental campaign based on realistic end-to-end simulations was conducted to establish the sensitivity of global astrometry to the PPN parameter γ, which measures the amount of space curvature produced by unit rest mass. The results show that, with just a few thousands of relatively bright, photometrically stable, and astrometrically well behaved single stars, among the ~10^9 objects that will be observed by GAIA, γcan be estimated after 1 year of continuous observations with an accuracy of ~10^{-5} at the 3σlevel. Extrapolation to the full 5-year mission of these results based on the scaling properties of the adjustment procedure utilized suggests that the accuracy of \simeq 2x10^{-7}, at the same 3σlevel, can be reached with \~10^6 single stars, again chosen as the most astrometrically stable among the millions available in the magnitude range V=12-13. These accuracies compare quite favorably with recent findings of scalar-tensor cosmological models, which predict for γa present-time deviation, |1-γ|, from the General Relativity value between 10^{-5} and 10^{-7}.

description: We focus on syntactic aspects of differential awareness that give rise to contractual disputes. Boundedly rational parties use a common language, but do not share a common understanding of the world, leading to ambiguity in both syntactic and semantic forms. In contractual relationships, ambiguity leads to disagreement and disputes. We show that the agents may prefer simpler less ambiguous contracts when facing potential disputes. In particular, parties may prefer liquidated damages provisions to contractual terms that specify a more complex risk allocation.

description: Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) are the most widely-used measure of health in cost–effectiveness analysis and cost–benefit analysis. Within a welfarist framework QALYs are consistent with people’s preferences under stringent assumptions. Several authors have argued that QALYs are a valid measure of health within an extra-welfarist framework. This paper studies the applicability of QALYs within the best-known extra-welfarist framework, Sen’s capability approach. We propose a procedure to value capability sets and provide a foundation for QALYs within Sen’s capability approach. We show that, under appropriate conditions, the ranking of capabilities can be represented locally by a QALY measure and that a shadow price for QALYs can be defined.
