description: Robust IGF-I overexpression induces ocular angiogenesis in mice. To investigate the effect of subtle IGF-I overexpression, we examined the ocular phenotype of IGF-II promoter-driven IGF-I transgenic mice. Despite 2.5-fold elevation of IGF-I mRNA in the retina and 29 and 52% increase of IGF-I protein in the retina and aqueous humor, respectively, no ocular abnormality was observed in these transgenics. This was correlated with unaltered VEGF mRNA levels in the transgenic retina. The transgene was also associated with an attenuated laser-induced choroidal neovascularization. Differential expression levels and pattern of IGF-I gene may underlie the different retinal phenotypes in different transgenic lines.

description: Small variations of the entanglement entropy δS and the expectation value of the modular Hamiltonian δE are computed holographically for circular entangling curves in the boundary of AdS(4), using gravitational perturbations with general boundary conditions in spherical coordinates. Agreement with the first law of thermodynamics, δS = δE, requires that the line element of the entangling curve remains constant. In this context, we also find a manifestation of electric-magnetic duality for the entanglement entropy and the corresponding modular Hamiltonian, following from the holographic energy-momentum/Cotton tensor duality.

description: This paper presents results from a comparative analysis of environmental income from approximately 8000 households in 24 developing countries collected by research partners in CIFOR’s Poverty Environment Network (PEN). Environmental income accounts for 28% of total household income, 77% of which comes from natural forests. Environmental income shares are higher for low-income households, but differences across income quintiles are less pronounced than previously thought. The poor rely more heavily on subsistence products such as wood fuels and wild foods, and on products harvested from natural areas other than forests. In absolute terms environmental income is approximately five times higher in the highest income quintile, compared to the two lowest quintiles.

description: We present the first study of the cusp effect (the movement of resonant poles due to the proximity of multiparticle thresholds) caused by the creation of diquark-antidiquark pairs. The cusp profile for such states is obtained from constituent counting rules. We compare the effectiveness of diquark cusps in moving resonant poles with that from a phenomenological form commonly used for meson-pair creation, and find that mesons tend to be more effective at lower energies $({\it e.g.}$, the $K\overline{K}$ threshold), while diquarks tend to be more effective at the charm [$X(3872)$] scales and above.

RSVpreF received approval for vaccination of pregnant individuals to help protect infants against RSV illness on 21 August 2023 in the USA. RSVpreF is also approved in the USA (31 May 2023) for active immunization of individuals aged ≥ 60 years for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV. In the EU, RSVpreF has received approval for both indications, and it has been submitted for regulatory approval in Canada (both indications) and in Japan (maternal immunization to protect infants). This article summarizes the milestones in the development of RSVpreF leading to the approval for use in pregnant individuals to prevent LRTD in infants. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023
The Process of Schema Emergence: Assimilation, Deconstruction, Unitization and the Plurality of Analogies

description: Schemas are a central concept in strategy and organization theory. Yet, despite the importance of schemas, little is known about how they emerge. Our in-depth historical analysis of how groups in the life insurance industry developed their schema for the computer from 1945-1975 addresses this gap. We identify three key processes— assimilation, deconstruction, and unitization—that collectively explain and resolve an inherent tension related to schema emergence: how to make the unfamiliar familiar but conceptually distinct. We also find that each process relates to analogical transfer, but in a more pluralistic and dynamic way than the existing literature describes. Broadly, these findings have important implications for rganizational change and managerial cognition.

User Community Involvement

description: This report constitutes SSHOC Deliverable 9.8, which describes the planned User Community Involvement in the Development of a Knowledge Graph for Electoral Studies. The report links up closely with the reports of Deliverable D9.6 (‘Demarcation Report of Electoral Studies User Community’) and Deliverable 9.7 (‘Design and Planning of Knowledge Graph in Electoral Studies’). These two earlier reports and the current one prepare the specification and planning of Deliverable 9.9, which is the production and delivery of a Knowledge Graph in electoral studies. The report of D9.6 defined the substantive research field and the scholarly community for which the Knowledge Graph is intended. D9.7 provided specification and planning of the development of the Knowledge Graph and emphasised the need for end-user involvement in its development. The current report (D9.8) details the various forms that user involvement can take, and how members of the user community are to be reached and recruited. The rationale underlying the need for user involvement is to avoid that the functionality of the Knowledge Graph to be produced does not match needs and expectations of end-users, which would result in suboptimal usage in and by the user community and obstruct further development of the Knowledge Graph after its initial delivery. The main elements for which user community involvement will be planned are:
 • Providing feedback on functionality at various stages of development
 • Contributing to ontology development
 • Crowd-contributing to classification of materials as a basis for training of algorithms
 • Beta testing Additionally, all forms of involvement of the user communities will help promote awareness of and familiarity with EOSC/SSHOC and its products, tools and services.

description: There is general consent that with decreasing bone mineral density the amount of marrow adipose tissue increases. While image-based techniques, claim an increase in saturated fatty acids responsible for this effect, this study shows an increase in both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in the bone marrow. Using fatty acid methyl ester gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, characteristic fatty acid patterns for patients with normal BMD (N = 9), osteopenia (N = 12), and osteoporosis (N = 9) have been identified, which differ between plasma, red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow. Selected fatty acids, e.g. FA10:0, FA14:1, or FA16:1 n-7 in the bone marrow or FA18:0, FA18:1 n-9, FA18:1 n-7, FA20:0, FA20:1 n-9, or FA20:3 n-6 in the plasma, correlated with osteoclast activity, suggesting a possible mechanism how these fatty acids may interfere with BMD. Although several fatty acids correlated well with the osteoclast activity and BMD, there was not a single fatty acid contained in our fatty acid profile that can be claimed for controlling BMD, a fact that may be attributed to the genetic heterogeneity of the patients.

description: What is the nature of the extremely negative attitudes expressed by so many employees toward their organizations? To respond to this question, we introduce the concept of organizational cynicism. We review the literature from several disciplines on this concept and suggest that organizational cynicism is an attitude composed of beliefs, affect, and behavioral tendencies toward an organization. Following our review and conceptualization, we derive implications of this concept and propose a research agenda for organizational cynicism

description: In the modern quantum mechanics of cosmology observers are physical systems within the universe. They have no preferred role in the formulation of the theory nor in its predictions of third person probabilities of what occurs. However, observers return to importance for the prediction of first person probabilities for what we observe of the universe: What is most probable to be observed is not necessarily what is most probable to occur. This essay reviews the basic framework for the computation of first person probabilities in quantum cosmology starting with an analysis of very simple models. It is shown that anthropic selection is automatic in this framework, because there is no probability for us to observe what is where we cannot exist. First person probabilities generally favor larger universes resulting from inflation where there are more places for us to be. In very large universes it is probable that our observational situation is duplicated elsewhere. The calculation of first person probabilities then requires a specification of whether our particular situation is assumed to be typical of all the others. It is the combination of the model of the observational situation, including this typicality assumption, and the third person theory which is tested by observation. We conclude with a discussion of the first person predictions of cosmological observables such as the cosmological constant and features of the primordial density fluctuations, in the no-boundary quantum state of the universe and a dynamical theory in which these are allowed to vary.

Use of the Metals Data File (CRYSTMET) in XAFS analysis

Year: 2002

description: The X-ray absorption spectrometry (XAS) technique has been widely used to determine the local structure of materials that are poorly suited to study by ordinary diffraction methods, such as fine particles or amorphous matter. XAS is among the major applications at synchrotron radiation facilities and many existing beamlines perform the measurement of XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) spectra. XAFS spectra can also be measured with conventional X-ray sources. Measurement of XAFS spectra is relatively straightforward, but real difficulties arise in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Contrary to single-crystal diffraction techniques, the structure is not obtained directly from the measured XAFS data. Model structures must be assumed and the corresponding simulated XAFS spectra must be calculated, with determination of which models best fit the measured data. Model building is a most important part of XAFS analysis, but creation of three-dimensional structures from crystal-chemical considerations can be a very time-consuming task. Utilization of a database of crystal structures and of its built-in structure analysis and display tools can considerably reduce the time and effort required by this task. As XAS is often used to study metals, a database of alloys and intermetallic compounds, such as CRYSTMET, incorporating an array of powerful tools, is then very useful.

description: Topological phases in (2+1)-dimensions are frequently equipped with global symmetries, like conjugation, bilayer or electric-magnetic duality, that relabel anyons without affecting the topological structures. Twist defects are static point-like objects that permute the labels of orbiting anyons. Gauging these symmetries by quantizing defects into dynamical excitations leads to a wide class of more exotic topological phases referred as twist liquids, which are generically non-Abelian. We formulate a general gauging framework, characterize the anyon structure of twist liquids and provide solvable lattice models that capture the gauging phase transitions. We explicitly demonstrate the gauging of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric toric code, $SO(2N)_1$ and $SU(3)_1$ state as well as the $S_3$-symmetric $SO(8)_1$ state and a non-Abelian chiral state we call the "4-Potts" state.

description: The direct method [Fan, Hao, Gu, Qian, Zheng & Ke (1990). Acta Cryst. A46, 935-939] was used to break the phase ambiguity intrinsic to one-wavelength anomalous scattering data from a known protein of moderate size, core streptavidin, which was solved originally with three-wavelength anomalous diffraction data [Hendrickson, Pähler, Smith, Satow, Merritt & Phizackerley (1989). Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 2190-2194]. Unlike that in the previous test with a small protein, the Fourier map calculated with the direct-method phases could not clearly reveal the moderate-sized protein structure. However, the phases can be improved step by step using Wang's solvent-flattening method, non-crystallographic symmetry averaging and the skeletonization method. The final electron-density map clearly shows most Calpha positions and some side chains and it is traceable without prior knowledge of the structure. It is concluded that the direct method is capable of breaking the OAS phase ambiguity of a moderate-sized protein at moderate resolution such as 3 A, while the combination of direct methods with macromolecular techniques may produce phases good enough for unknown protein structure to be traced.
title: Bayesian Operational Modal Analysis of Structures with Tuned Mass Damper
Creators: name: Wang, Xinrui
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2025

description: Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are general used as a common strategy for reducing structural vibration, e.g., to improve structural safety and human comfort under various dynamic loadings. It can operate in a passive manner without active control algorithm or external power. For a given mass of the TMD (which may be determined by practical constraints), the design of TMD involves the specification of optimal natural frequency and damping ratio, which are determined according to the properties (i.e., mass, natural frequency and damping ratio) of the ‘primary’ structure. The latter is better informed by the in-situ modal properties, which can differ significantly from the predictions based on design blueprints. After installation, TMD is susceptible to detuning (i.e., its parameters are no longer optimal as designed) due to deterioration or changes of the system, resulting in degradation in performance. It is therefore desirable to assess the in-situ properties of the TMD and the primary structure under operational state. This thesis aims at developing a Bayesian approach for identifying the modal parameters of a structure equipped with TMD, using only ambient vibration data measured on the primary structure, i.e., ‘operational modal analysis’ (OMA). The work covers formulation, computational algorithms, verification and application. A Bayesian OMA approach provides a rigorous means for making inference about modal properties and quantifying the identification uncertainty. The identification results include the posterior (i.e., given data) most probable value and covariance matrix, informing the ‘best estimate’ and identification uncertainty, respectively. The likelihood function and theoretical power spectral density matrix of ambient data are mathematically formulated, accounting for non-classically damped modal dynamics that is not treated in existing Bayesian formulations. An Expectation-Maximisation algorithm is developed for efficient computation of the most probable value of modal parameters. Analytical expressions are derived so that the posterior covariance matrix can be determined accurately and efficiently. The proposed algorithms are verified based on synthetic data and then applied to field data of structures with closed-mode response attenuated by TMD.

description: The shift from traditional classrooms to digital platforms has transformed language acquisition in the 21st century, making sustainability education more critical than ever. This theoretical study examines the intersection of education and sustainability within the context of English language teaching and learning. It explores how transformative pedagogies can support sustainable practices in an evolving technological landscape. The first section defines sustainability education, outlining its goals and the importance of equipping students with the linguistic skills to address complex environmental, social, and economic challenges. However, integrating sustainability into language instruction poses challenges, such as aligning sustainability topics with language learning objectives. This work highlights these issues and their societal implications, stressing the need to redesign educational systems with sustainability at the forefront. The study proposes transformative pedagogical strategies that educators and policymakers can adopt to foster a generation of socially and ecologically conscious global citizens. Ultimately, it offers practical recommendations for integrating sustainability into curricula, guiding stakeholders in navigating the challenges posed by technological disruption in language education.

Self-force gravitational waveforms for extreme and intermediate mass ratio inspirals. III: Spin-orbit coupling revisited

description: The first- and second-order dissipative self force and the first order conservative self force are applied together with spin-orbit coupling to the quasi-circular motion of a test mass in the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole, for extreme or intermediate mass ratios. The partial dephasing of the gravitational waveform (at the order that is independent of the system's mass ratio) due to the self force is compared with that of spin-orbit coupling. We find that accurate waveforms for parameter estimation need to include both effects. Specifically, we find a particular value for the spin parameter such that the spin-orbit effect cancels out the self-force effect on the waveform. Exclusion of dephasing effects that are independent of the mass ratio therefore might lead to a non-perturbative error in the estimation of the system's parameters.

description: Large effigy pipes made of limestone are found at Mississippian sites across much of the American South. Here we examine a sample of these pipes with the goal of identifying their geological sources, which are inferred from the fossils visible in the rock. All but one of the pipes in our sample are made of Glendon limestone, a distinctive material that outcrops most abundantly near Vicksburg, Mississippi. Based on the geological and distributional evidence, we argue that these Glendon limestone pipes were crafted in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Our study also demonstrates the efficacy of using fossils as a nondestructive way of determining the provenance of limestone artifacts.

description: There are two kinds of Tsallis-probability distributions: heavy tail ones and compact support distributions. We show here, appealing to functional analysis' tools, that for lower bound Hamiltonians only the first type guarantees a maximum for Tsallis-entropy. In the compact support instance, a case by case analysis is necessary in order to tackle the issue.

The Provenance and Use of Etowah Palettes

description: Based on geological and stylistic evidence, we argue that stone palettes found at Etowah were made locally from nearby raw materials. We also show that they were wrapped in textiles and kept in bundles, i.e., that they were objects used in ritual. Etowah palettes were used as portable altars, perhaps in ceremonies that involved anointing other objects with colorful (and spiritually powerful) substances. The realization that palettes were bundled ritual gear should cause us to rethink common assumptions that such objects moved from site to site by means of "trade," or that they functioned as "prestige goods" in the sense of Frankenstein and Rowlands (1978).

description: The transport of excess electrons in liquid argon driven out of equilibrium by an applied electric field is revisited using a multi-term solution of Boltzmann's equation together with ab initio liquid phase cross-sections calculated using the Dirac-Fock scattering equations. The calculation of liquid phase cross-sections extends previous treatments to consider multipole polarisabilities and a non-local treatment of exchange while the accuracy of the electron-argon potential is validated through comparison of the calculated gas phase cross-section with experiment. The results presented highlight the inadequacy of local treatments of exchange that are commonly used in liquid and cluster phase cross-section calculations. The multi-term Boltzmann equation framework accounting for coherent scattering enables the inclusion of the full anisotropy in the differential cross-section arising from the interaction and the structure factor, without an a priori assumption of quasi-isotropy in the velocity distribution function. The model, which contains no free parameters and accounts for both coherent scattering and liquid phase screening effects, was found to reproduce well the experimental drift velocities and characteristic energies.

Assessing the Importance of Tiebout Sorting: Local Heterogeneity from 1850 to 1990
Creators: name: Rhode, Paul

description: This paper argues that long-run trends in geographic segregation are inconsistent with models where residential choice depends solely on local public goods (the Tiebout hypothesis). We develop an extension of the Tiebout model that predicts as mobility costs fall, the heterogeneity across communities of individual public good preferences and of public good provision must (weakly) increase. Given the secular decline in mobility costs, these predictions can be evaluated using historical data. We find decreasing heterogeneity in policies and proxies for preferences across (i) a sample of U.S. municipalities (1870-1990); (ii) all Boston-area municipalities (1870-1990); and (iii) all U.S. counties (1850-1990).

description: The paper consists of three chapters, which successively attempt to conceptualize the institution of interfaith dialogue, examining it through its interactions with the social, political and religious life of the countries, describing the methods and tools of interfaith dialogue as they are applied. Subsequently, the second chapter explores the place of religion in the states of the East, and in particular in the relations between Israel and Palestine over the centuries, up to the present-day conclusion of the issue. The third and longest chapter of the work is devoted to the actors of interfaith dialogue around the world and the actions they have taken in relation to the normalization of relations between Palestine and Israel, and attempts to take stock of the global agenda of today in order to try to find a common solution for the restoration of relations between the two countries and the immediate, now, ceasefireThe paper concludes with the critical positioning and the drawing of the corresponding conclusions through the summarization, analysis and comparison of the data gathered during our research to create this paper.
The District Effect: Systemic Responses to High Stakes Accountability Policies in Six Southern States

description: High stakes accountability (HSA) reforms were enacted in state after state and federally through the No Child Left Behind law, based on the belief that incentives that have consequences attached are effective ways to motivate educators to improve student performance. Our focus for this article is on school district level responses to HSA reforms that could produce positive changes in teaching and learning. We set out to determine whether a district effect was present in the implementation of HSA systems in six southern states and whether that effect was accompanied by the types of activities previously identified in the research literature as being associated with changes in teaching and learning and student achievement. We tested a theory of action that assumed that HSA would cause school districts to develop coherent instructional strategies that would be evidenced by the provision of coherent, high-quality professional development and the alignment of district policy and resources in support of school improvement. These activities on the part of districts would then improve student achievement as measured by state tests.
