description: We present an optical mapping near-eye (OMNI) three-dimensional display method for wearable devices. By dividing a display screen into different sub-panels and optically mapping them to various depths, we create a multiplane volumetric image with correct focus cues for depth perception. The resultant system can drive the eye's accommodation to the distance that is consistent with binocular stereopsis, thereby alleviating the vergence-accommodation conflict, the primary cause for eye fatigue and discomfort. Compared with the previous methods, the OMNI display offers prominent advantages in adaptability, image dynamic range, and refresh rate.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The rising levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are responsible for several aspects of climate change. They contribute to an enhanced atmospheric greenhouse effect leading to a warmer world and are causing a slow but inexorable acidification of the world ocean. While these effects are well known to scientists and are becoming known to the general public on a daily basis, there are secondary effects which have until recently not been considered. As the surface ocean slowly warms, less oxygen is dissolved in the down-welled waters. Meanwhile, uptake of some 1.2 million tons of CO2 per hour on average, not only drives down the sea surface pH, but adds to the pre-formed CO2 burden of deep waters. As organic matter decays at depth, this amplifies the ambient partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Combined, these effects of lower oxygen concentration and increased carbon dioxide partial pressure lead to a dramatic decrease in the thermodynamic respiration capacity of the mid-waters. Areas of already low oxygen concentration will be the first to be impacted. Sub-oxic and anoxic conditions will not only expand laterally, but vertically as well. These expanding sub-oxic zones will present an ever increasing challenge to the diurnal vertical migration of zooplankton. Where these areas intersect the coast and the continental shelf, the so called 'dead zones' will expand greatly impacting the life histories of multi-cellular organisms.

Development of recombinant non-viral vectors for the safe and efficient gene transfer to mesenchymal stem cells
Creators: name: Patel, Niket
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Stem cell mediated gene delivery has steadily gained momentum in the past decade as a new strategy to improve the safety and efficacy of current cancer gene therapy methods. Recent evidence indicates that systemically administered mesenchymal stem cells can migrate and deliver therapeutic genes to the tumor site. In order to engineer stem cells as gene delivery vehicles for cancer therapy, the cells are first transfected ex-vivo with transgenes to transiently express the therapeutic of interest. While viruses are effective vectors for delivering exogenous genes to cells, concerns related to insertional mutagenesis, lack of tropism, immunogenicity and high production costs necessitate the development of non-viral methods. Non-viral gene delivery vectors hold great promise for stem cell gene therapy due to the safety concerns with viral vectors. However, the application of non-viral vectors is hindered by their low transfection efficiency and toxicity. Vectors used for stem cell transfection must be non-genotoxic, non-immunogenic and highly efficient, in order to circumvent the potential transformation of normal stem cells into cancer-initiating cells. Herein, in order to tackle these challenges, we strived to develop non-viral vectors with efficient gene delivery and low toxicity to hard-to-transfect mesenchymal stem cells.This doctoral dissertation will focus on the design and application of efficient non-viral vectors, for the genetic modification of stem cells without any negative somatic or genetic impact. The first part of the dissertation describes the characterization of mesenchymal stem cells and neural stem cells. These stem cells were screened for over-expressed cell surface receptors by systematically developed protocol, which laid the foundation for the development of vectors that recognize the port of entry to the stem cells. The next part of the dissertation describes the design and production of vectors in bacterial system. A number of parameters were compared, including the choice of expression hosts, metal affinity columns and expression conditions, in order to identify the most effective means to obtain highly pure vectors. The final portion of the dissertation describes characterization, efficiency and toxicity studies of the developed vectors in mesenchymal stem cells. All vectors were evaluated for their transfection efficiency, impact on metabolic activity, cell membrane integrity and micronuclei formation (chromosomal aberrations). The results of this study showed that the bioengineered vector utilizing receptors for cellular entry could transfect mesenchymal stem cells with high efficiency without inducing genotoxicity and negative impact on gene function. The genetically engineered vector in this study proved that it can be safely and efficiently used to genetically modify stem cells with potential applications in cancer gene therapies.

description: Strain gradient plasticity theories are being widely used for fracture assessment, as they provide a richer description of crack tip fields by incorporating the influence of geometrically necessary dislocations. Characterizing the behavior at the small scales involved in crack tip deformation requires, however, the use of a very refined mesh within microns to the crack. In this work a novel and efficient gradient-enhanced numerical framework is developed by means of the extended finite element method (X-FEM). A mechanism-based gradient plasticity model is employed and the approximation of the displacement field is enriched with the stress singularity of the gradient-dominated solution. Results reveal that the proposed numerical methodology largely outperforms the standard finite element approach. The present work could have important implications on the use of microstructurally-motivated models in large scale applications.

description: The abundance of both amorphous and crystalline silicates in very small grains is limited by the fact that the 10 micron silicate emission feature is not detected in the diffuse ISM. On the basis of the observed IR emission spectrum for the diffuse ISM, the observed ultraviolet extinction curve, and the 10 micron silicate absorption profile, we obtain upper limits on the abundances of ultrasmall (a < 15 Angstrom) amorphous and crystalline silicate grains. Contrary to previous work, as much as ~20% of interstellar Si could be in a < 15 Angstrom silicate grains without violating observational constraints. Not more than ~5% of the Si can be in crystalline silicates (of any size).

description: This is a continuation of the previous articles on Kahler cone metrics. In this article, we introduce weighted function spaces and provide a self-contained treatment on cone angles in the whole interval $(0,1]$. We first construct geodesics in the space of Kahler cone metrics (cone geodesics). We next determine the very detailed asymptotic behaviour of constant scalar curvature Kahler (cscK) cone metrics, which leads to the reductivity of the automorphism group. Then we establish the linear theory for the Lichnerowicz operator, which immediately implies the openness of the path deforming the cone angles of cscK cone metrics. Finally, we address the problem on the uniqueness of cscK cone metrics and show that the cscK cone metric is unique up to automorphisms.

description: The explosion of a type Ia supernova starts in a white dwarf as a laminar deflagration at the center of the star and soon several hydrodynamic instabilities, in particular, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, begin to act. A cellular stationary combustion and a turbulent combustion regime are rapidly achieved by the flame and maintained up to the end of the so-called flamelet regime when the transition to detonation is believed to occur. The burning velocity at these regimes is well described by the fractal model of combustion. Using a semi-analytic approach, we describe the effect of magnetic fields on the fractalization of the front considering a white dwarf with a nearly dipolar magnetic field. We find an intrinsic asymmetry on the velocity field that may be maintained up to the free expansion phase of the remnant. Considering the strongest values inferred for a white dwarf's magnetic fields with strengths up to $10^{8}-10^{9}$ G at the surface and assuming that the field near the centre is roughly 10 times greater, asymmetries in the velocity field higher than $10-20 %$ are produced between the magnetic polar and the equatorial axis of the remnant which may be related to the asymmetries found from recent spectropolarimetric observations of very young SN Ia remnants. Dependence of the asymmetry with white dwarf composition is also analyzed.

description: Convexity splitting like schemes with improved accuracy are proposed for a phase field model for surface diffusion. The schemes are developed to enable large scale simulations in three spatial dimensions describing experimentally observed solid state dewetting phenomena. We introduce a first and a second order unconditionally energy stable scheme and carefully elaborate the loss in accuracy associated with large time steps in such schemes. We then present a family of Rosenbrock convex splitting schemes. We show the existence of a maximal numerical timestep and demonstrate the increase of this maximal numerical time step by at least one order of magnitude using a Rosenbrock method. This scheme is used to study the effect of contact angle on solid state dewetting phenomena.

description: Human lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne neglected tropical parasitic disease, needs an early development of prophylactic agents such as a vaccine for its successful elimination. Our earlier study suggested the enhanced immunological response by fusion protein (P-TUFT-ALT-2) of Tuftsin and ALT-2 in a mice model. We cultured human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and treated cells with Escherichia coli-expressed ALT-2 (E-ALT-2) and P-TUFT-ALT-2. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to identify the mRNA copy number of various cytokine and transcription factor genes. The recombinant vaccine candidate was also validated for humans by immunoreactivity with human sera samples of natural infection. In this study, P-TUFT-ALT-2 stimulated 12% higher PBMC proliferation in endemic normal (EN) individuals than E-ALT-2 alone. There was enhanced production of IFN γ , IL-2, IL-5 and IL-12, indicating a balanced Th1/Th2 response. However, higher expression of IL-5 and lower IL-4 validate the humoral response through an IL-5-dependent manner. Also, high level of IL-17 indicates a strong Th/Treg regulation over T-cell activation. The upregulated T-bet might have enhanced IFN-γ production, whereas GATA-3 was supposed to enhance IL-5 expression. The fusion protein also exhibited 15–16% higher reactivity with EN clinical sera, exposing the upregulation of IgG1 and IgM in natural infection. The higher reactivity of P-TUFT-ALT-2 with sera of natural infection (EN) was validated indirectly by B-cell activation through various cytokines and regulatory genes produced from different T cells. Thus, these findings endorse P-TUFT-ALT-2 as a potential vaccine candidate for human lymphatic filariasis.

description: We complete the rules of translation between standard complex quantum mechanics (CQM) and quaternionic quantum mechanics (QQM) with a complex geometry. In particular we describe how to reduce ($2n$+$1$)-dimensional complex matrices to {\em overlapping\/} ($n$+$1$)-dimensional quaternionic matrices with generalized quaternionic elements. This step resolves an outstanding difficulty with reduction of purely complex matrix groups within quaternionic QM and avoids {\em anomalous} eigenstates. As a result we present a more complete translation from CQM to QQM and viceversa.

description: We present WFPC2 VI photometry of a field in the halo of IC 1613, finding 13 RR Lyraes and 11 Cepheids. Our photometry of the red giant branch tip and red clump is used to derive distances to IC 1613, which are consistent with each other and with distances based on the variable stars. We compare these values with similarly-measured distances for the Magellanic Clouds, and are able to measure metallicity dependencies of the RR Lyrae and Cepheid distances by requiring consistent relative distance measurements from the four techniques. For metallicities of [Fe/H] = -1.3 (RR Lyraes) and -1.0 (Cepheids), we find a relatively steep slope of 0.34 +/- 0.20 magnitudes per dex for the RR Lyraes and a shallow slope of -0.07 +/- 0.16 mag/dex for the Cepheids, both values within the range of theoretical and empirical results in the literature. We find that a dependence of the red clump absolute magnitude on age, in addition to metallicity, is required to produce self-consistent relative distances between IC 1613 and the Magellanic Clouds. Adopting such a red clump calibration and self-consistent calibrations for the other three distance indicators, we find that the distances to all three objects are in excellent agreement. Our best distance modulus to IC 1613 is mu_0 = 24.31 +/- 0.06, corresponding to a distance of 730 +/- 20 kpc. This distance produces an RR Lyrae absolute magnitude of MV = 0.61 +/- 0.08.

description: We present a computational model of creative design based on collaborative interactive genetic algorithms. In our model, designers individually guide interactive genetic algorithms (IGAs) to generate and explore potential design solutions quickly. Collaboration is supported by allowing designers to share solutions amongst each other while using IGAs, with the sharing of solutions adding variables to the search space. We present experiments on 3D modeling as a case study, with designers creating model transformations individually and collaboratively. The transformations were evaluated by participants in surveys and results show that individual and collaborative models were considered equally creative. However, the use of our collaborative IGAs model materially changes resulting designs compared to individual IGAs.

description: Mutualistic root associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are known to alter interactions with insects aboveground. In this study, we investigated whether root symbiosis with Rhizophagus irregularis modulates alterations in Medicago truncatula that affect pea aphid’s (Acyrthosiphon pisum) fitness. The results indicate that aphid colony weight increased after feeding on shoots of high R. irregularis-colonized plants relative to non-mycorrhizal controls. Moreover, when given a choice, aphid adults preferred high R. irregularis-colonized plants compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. Interestingly, we identified genes strongly regulated by aphid feeding in shoots (β-1,3 glucanase, thaumatin-like protein, ethylene response factor (ERF) 1, gibberellin (GA) 20-oxidase, and GA 2-oxidase), by AM symbiosis in roots (oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase, ERF1, and GA 20-oxidase), and a gene (GA 2-oxidase) exclusively induced in roots during this tripartite interaction. Our data provide novel information about changes in plant gene expression during aphid-plant-AM fungus interactions, and serve as foundation for future transcriptome studies.

description: Isolation of a single atomic particle and monitoring its resonance fluorescence is a powerful tool for studies of quantum effects in radiation-matter interaction. Here we present observations of quantum dynamics of an isolated neutral atom stored in a magneto-optical trap. By means of photon correlations in the atom's resonance fluorescence we demonstrate the well-known phenomenon of photon antibunching which corresponds to transient Rabi oscillations in the atom. Through polarization-sensitive photon correlations we show a novel example of resolved quantum fluctuations: spontaneous magnetic orientation of an atom. These effects can only be observed with a single atom.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The southern Gulf of St Lawrence Atlantic Cod population abundance declined in the 1990s and is at a record low. The Northwest Atlantic Grey Seal population has been implicated in the lack of recovery for the Atlantic Cod; however more research on the interaction between the two populations is needed. Seals have been seen to impact ground fish populations in several different ways including predation, competition, and reduction of fish foraging efficiency. Several competing biological hypotheses for the interaction were developed based on relevant literature and expert advice. Each hypothesis was then expressed in terms of mathematical equations in order to incorporate them as a component of natural mortality in an Atlantic Cod abundance model. Once incorporated in the Atlantic Cod model, the hypotheses will be compared using the observed Atlantic cod abundance indices

description: We have used the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland-Association (BIMA) array outfitted with sensitive cm-wave receivers to expand our search for arcminute scale anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The interferometer was placed in a compact configuration toobtain high brightness sensitivity on arcminute scales over its 6.6' FWHM field of view. The sensitivity of this experiment to flat band power peaks at a multipole of l=5530 which corresponds to an angular scale of ~2'. We present the analysis of a total of 470 hours of on-source integration time on eleven independent fields which were selected based on their low IR contrast and lack of bright radio sources. Applying a Bayesian analysis to the visibility data, we find CMB anisotropy flat band power Q_flat = 6.1(+2.8/-4.8) microKelvin at 68% confidence. The confidence of a non- zero signal is 76% and we find an upper limit of Q_flat < 12.4 microKelvin at 95% confidence. We have supplemented our BIMA observations with concurrent observations at 4.8 GHz with the VLA to search for and remove point sources. We find the point sources make an insignificant contribution to the observed anisotropy.

description: Modern relativistic theory of the second quantization of fermion and boson fields is based on the use of the mathematical apparatus of C*-algebras and Lie superalgebras. In this case, for fermions, the Lorentz transformations are considered as Bogolyubov transformations of creation and annihilation operators. However, in this approach one can not obtain an explicit form of the Dirac gamma-matrices. The mathematical apparatus of the superalgebraic representation of the algebra of the second quantization of spinors is developed in the article. It is based on the use of density in the impulse space of Grassmann variables and their derivatives. It is shown that the Dirac matrices and the Lorentz transformation generators can be expressed in terms of such densities. A superalgebraic form of the Dirac equation and the vacuum state vector are constructed. It is shown that in the superalgebraic form of the complex Clifford algebra the generators corresponding to the Dirac gamma matrices are not equivalent. Clifford vector corresponding to diagonal matrix annihilates the vacuum, and the remaining ones give nonzero values. This means that there is asymmetric direction corresponding to the time axis

description: Copyright regulates speech because every copyright protected work does contain a communication content. Right holders take advantage of it to silence others: they use their copyright as censorship right. Copyright doctrine must therefore allow a case by case balancing to strike a fair balance between freedom of expression and copyright, both enshrined in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFR) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In the digital age with an overly expanded copyright, it is more important than ever to prevent a censorious copyright – not only for the standing of copyright in society but for the sake of the fundamental rights of third parties. Free speech is only free if one can speak with works of others that are valuable in constitutional terms.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This paper investigates the requirements for integrated decision making for fisheries described as system. Founded on the principles of decision analysis developed within the field of management science, it provides the requisite methodology for improved decision support and risk assessment and management. A system model is proposed for the fisheries system that takes into account the multiple criteria of the marine ecosystem including biological sustainability, economic viability, social stability, and administrative efficiency. This decision support system integrates traditional biological stock assessment methods with operational management considerations, and a scientific approach to decision making. An illustrative case study based on the cod fishery in NAFO division 4TVn is used to demonstrate the proposed methodology.

description: We derive the BPS mass formulae of the Dirichlet branes from the Born-Infeld type action. BPS saturation is realized when the brane has the minimal volume while keeping the appropriate winding numbers. We apply the idea to two cases, type IIA superstring compactified on $T^4$ and $K3$. The result is consistent with the string duality, and the expected spectrum for the BPS states is reproduced.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In Europe, the range of John dory (Zeus faber) is reported to spread from Norway to Maderia and the Mediterranean (Whitehead et al., 1984). John dory is a pisciverous fish that lives at approximately 50-150m but has been found down to 400m (Stergiou & Fourtouni, 1991; Silva, 1999). Around the British Isles John dory are caught in commercial quantities in the English Channel, Western Approaches (Dunn, 2001) and are infrequently caught elsewhere (Nash & Gibson, 1982; Gibson & Ezzi, 1987).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The samplings with ORI net trailing during Mirai cruise (MR-06-05-Leg 3, Dec 21, 2005 ~ Jan 12, 2006) were performed in a tropical area of western Pacific Ocean, and the tolerance to temperature increase was tested with the Temperature Paralysis Experiment on the adults and 5th instar larvae of Halobates collected in this area. At the two stations of St. 37 (6º N, 130º E) and St. 52 (5º N, 138º E), relatively many number of larvae of H. sericeus, which has been known to be distributed limitedly in the northern area of 15 º N in the Pacific Ocean, were collected. All three values of TSHP (Temperature for semi-heat paralysis), THP (Temperature for heat paralysis) and GTHP (Gap temperature for heat paralysis) shown by Halobates germanus were significantly more heat-hardy than those of H. micans for the specimens from the St.37 (06ºN, 130ºN) in which the comparison between the two species were available (P=0.002). Experimental specimens from the equator had highest heat tolerance (P<0.05). According to the current dynamics during the cruise, the colony at St. 52 of H. sericeus might be possible to be transferred from the northern area of 14ºN by the three currents of NEC, MC and NECC to the area of 5ºN and 138ºE. Extremely high heat resistance was shown in the adults of H. germanus in the sea area around the equator. Dynamic current and air movements in this area as “Warm-Sea-Water-Pool” around the equator can be related to the high resistance to heat which was shown in this study
Linking the Metallicity Distribution of Galactic Halo Stars to the Enrichment History of the Universe

description: We compare the metallicity distribution of Galactic Halo stars with 3D realizations of hierarchical galaxy formation. Outflows from dwarf galaxies enrich the intergalactic medium inhomogeneously, at a rate depending on the local galaxy density. Consequently, the first stars created in small early-forming galaxies are less metal-rich that the first stars formed in more massive galaxies which typically form later. As most halo stars are likely to originate in accreted dwarfs, while disk stars formed out of outflow-enriched gas, this scenario naturally generates a ``metallicity floor'' for old disk stars, which we find to be roughly coincident with the higher end of our predicted metallicity distribution of halo stars, in agreement with observations. The broad and centrally peaked distribution of halo star metallicities is well reproduced in our models, with a natural dispersion depending on the exact accretion history. Our modeling includes the important ``baryonic stripping'' effect of early outflows, which brush away the tenuously held gas in neighboring pre-virialized density perturbations. This stripping process does not significantly modify the predicted shape of the halo star metal distribution but inhibits star-formation and hence the number of accreted stars, helping to reproduce the observed total Galactic halo luminosity and also the lack of low-luminosity local dwarf galaxies relative to N-body predictions.

Near-Optimal Sparse Sensing for Gaussian Detection with Correlated Observations

description: Detection of a signal under noise is a classical signal processing problem. When monitoring spatial phenomena under a fixed budget, i.e., either physical, economical or computational constraints, the selection of a subset of available sensors, referred to as sparse sensing, that meets both the budget and performance requirements is highly desirable. Unfortunately, the subset selection problem for detection under dependent observations is combinatorial in nature and suboptimal subset selection algorithms must be employed. In this work, different from the widely used convex relaxation of the problem, we leverage submodularity, the diminishing returns property, to provide practical near optimal algorithms suitable for large-scale subset selection. This is achieved by means of low-complexity greedy algorithms, which incur a reduced computational complexity compared to their convex counterparts.

description: This paper presents modified patch antenna for 3 GHz and 5 GHz operating frequencies. Here different approaches are studied by varying slot sizes, defected ground size, notch and also changing feed position. Insertion of slots gives dual frequency operation. Notch provides shifting of lower frequency band towards left hand side. Here combined effect of each techniques adopted gives desired result. Proposed antenna resonates for 3 and 5 GHz frequency. Simulation is done using IE3D software for various parameters. Return loss of final design was -12.17 dB for 3 GHz frequency and VSWR of 1.65. For 5 GHz simulation response was -10.04dB return loss and VSWR of 1.91. Proposed antenna is fabricated giving different details. Paper gives good agreement between measured and simulated results.

description: We consider a scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime and define a coarse grained Closed Time Path (CTP) effective action by integrating quantum fluctuations of wavelengths shorter than a critical value. We derive an exact CTP renormalization group equation and solve it using a derivative expansion approach. Explicit calculation is performed for the $λϕ^4$ theory. We discuss the relevance of the CTP average action in the study of non-equilibrium aspects of phase transitions in quantum field theory.

description: Protocols for quantum communication between massive particles, such as atoms, are usually based on transmitting nonclassical light, and/or super-high finesse optical cavities are normally needed to enhance interaction between atoms and photons. We demonstrate a surprising result: an unknown quantum state can be teleported from one free-space atomic ensemble to the other by transmitting only coherent light. No non-classical light and no cavities are needed in the scheme, which greatly simplifies its experimental implementation.
