title: 18q-, A Different Kind of Normal: Re-imagining Representation of Disability and Human Potentiality

Subjects: subject: 18th chromosome

description: 18q-: A Different Kind of Normal: Re-imagining Representation of Disability and Human Potentiality is a very personal project that evolved out of love and respect for those of us born with physical and intellectual impairment – made more precious when they happen to be our children. As a practice-led research project, a feature-length autobiographical documentary film has been created as a mechanism to explore the challenge of re-presenting the fullness of the lives of persons born with genetic difference on screen. The film introduces to the screen a group of individuals born with rare genetic conditions occurring on the 18th chromosome. It uses my family‟s story as a vehicle to traverse the new and unknown terrain brought by intellectual and physical impairment. In a bid to usurp entrenched, stereotypical storytelling devices that continue to marginalise, demonise and dehumanise persons of difference, the film balances the sharing of challenges with the joy and delight expressed in our lives. As a mother, filmmaker, advocate, student, academic and subject within the film, I have charted my process within the exegesis and ,in the absence of a formalised code of ethics for documentary filmmakers, I have explored ethical approaches across a number of disciplines in an endeavour to construct a framework to inform my work.

description: Laser cleaning technique signifies the most noteworthy contribution of physics for artworks conservation, have been for the last three decades, functioning as a striking field of research, but with minimal attention by the archaeological conservation community. Laser-assisted removal of contamination and deterioration accumulations from archaeological bones and flints will be a unique success and highlights the use of laser cleaning methodology in practice. This presentation strives for optimizing short-pulse laser cleaning parameters for the elimination of deterioration and contamination on significant Pleistocene bones and Neogene flints surfaces from Sierra de Atapuerca (Spain), in an attempt to safeguard their archaeological value and origin. A series of studies have been carried out to assess the controlled laser cleaning parameters using two different laser systems: picosecond UV laser of 355 nm wavelength and sub-nanosecond n-IR laser of 1064 nm wavelength; taking into account both burst and continuous modes to reveal the efficiency on deterioration removal and with minimal damage to the underlying original surface. This research proposes new possibilities of using the short-pulse laser in conservation, by keeping pulse energy below the plasma formation threshold; the ablation threshold of the material could be deduced after irradiation with a series of laser pulses.

description: We propose a new model-independent strategy to calibrate the distance relation in Type Ia supernova (SN) observations and to probe the intrinsic properties of SNe Ia, especially the absolute magnitude $M_B$, basing on strong lensing observations in the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) era. The strongly lensed quasars can provide the Time Delay Distances (TDD) and the Angular Diameter Distances (ADD) to the lens galaxies. These absolute distance measurements can model-independently anchor the SNe Ia at cosmological distances. We simulated 55 high-quality lensing systems with $5\%$ uncertainties for both TDD and ADD measurements basing on future observation conditions. For the time delay distances and the angular diameter distances as the calibration standards, the calibrated $1σ$ uncertainties of $M_{B}$ are approximately 0.24 mag and 0.03 mag, respectively. Besides, we also consider an evolving distance relation, for example, caused by the cosmic opacity. In this case, the $1σ$ uncertainties of $M_B$ calibrated with TDD and ADD are approximately 0.31 mag and 0.06 mag, respectively. The results show that the ADD method will be a promising tool for calibrating supernovae.

Why Do We Believe in the Second Law?

description: Claims of exceptions to the second law of thermodynamics are generally met with extreme skepticism that is quite reasonable given the great confidence placed in the second law. But what specifically is the basis for that confidence? The perspective from which we approach experimental or theoretical results that call into question the absolute status of the second law depends greatly on our understanding of why it must be true. For example, a belief that there are solid theoretical arguments demonstrating that the second law must be true leads to a very different perspective than a belief that the law is simply a generalization of empirical observations. This paper will briefly survey and examine some of the basic arguments on which our confidence in the second law might be based, to help provide a well-informed perspective for evaluating the various claims presented at this conference.

Addressing Stability Robustness, Period Uncertainties, and Startup of Multiple-Period Repetitive Control for Spacecraft Jitter Mitigation
Creators: Ahn, Edwin S.
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Mechanical engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

subject: Aerospace engineering

description: Repetitive Control (RC) is a relatively new form of control that seeks to converge to zero tracking error when executing a periodic command, or when executing a constant command in the presence of a periodic disturbance. The design makes use of knowledge of the period of the disturbance or command, and makes use of the error observed in the previous period to update the command in the present period. The usual RC approaches address one period, and this means that potentially they can simultaneously address DC or constant error, the fundamental frequency for that period, and all harmonics up to Nyquist frequency. Spacecraft often have multiple sources of periodic excitation. Slight imbalance in reaction wheels used for attitude control creates three disturbance periods. A special RC structure was developed to allow one to address multiple unrelated periods which is referred to as Multiple-Period Repetitive Control (MPRC).
MPRC in practice faces three main challenges for hardware implementation. One is instability due to model errors or parasitic high frequency modes, the second is degradation of the final error level due to period uncertainties or fluctuations, and the third is bad transients due to issues in startup. Regarding these three challenges, the thesis develops a series of methods to enhance the performance of MPRC or to assist in analyzing its performance for mitigating optical jitter induced by mechanical vibration within the structure of a spacecraft testbed. Experimental analysis of MPRC shows contrasting advantages over existing adaptive control algorithms, such as Filtered-X LMS, Adaptive Model Predictive Control, and Adaptive Basis Method, for mitigating jitter within the transmitting beam of Laser Communication (LaserCom) satellites.

description: The three-dimensional dynamics of a single non-Brownian flexible fiber in shear flow is evaluated numerically, in the absence of inertia. A wide range of ratios A of bending to hydrodynamic forces and hundreds of initial configurations are considered. We demonstrate that flexible fibers in shear flow exhibit much more complicated evolution patterns than in the case of extensional flow, where transitions to higher-order modes of characteristic shapes are observed when A exceeds consecutive threshold values. In shear flow, we identify the existence of an attracting steady configuration and different attracting periodic motions that are approached by long-lasting rolling, tumbling and meandering dynamical modes, respectively. We demonstrate that the final stages of the first and second modes are effective Jeffery orbits, with the constant parameter C replaced by an exponential function that either decays or increases in time, respectively, corresponding to a systematic drift of the trajectories. In the limit of C going to zero, the fiber aligns with the vorticity direction and in the limit of C going to infinity, the fiber periodically tumbles within the shear plane. For moderate values of A, a three-dimensional meandering periodic motion exists, which corresponds to intermediate values of C. Transient, close to periodic oscillations are also detected in the first stages of the modes.

Subjects: subject: musicking

description: This doctoral research thesis explores musical identity from the perspective of the artist-researcher in the field of contemporary classical guitar performance. It responds to narratives of the western classical music tradition in which much is known about the lives, influences and practices of composers, while the performer's identity and creative personage has been historically overlooked, underrepresented and rendered "inaudible" in performance. In this paradigm, musical interpretation and analysis has focused on the replication and reproduction of musical materials as the basis for judging the quality of musical works. Musicking acts as a conceptual antidote to this view, which highlights music as a "doing" rather than a "thing", pointing to musical identity as a self-concept that is performative as it reconstitutes and reaffirms itself through musical practices. The thesis explores a project in which I sound my sonic self through the creative processes of performing and recording five new works for solo guitar, and experiment with musical practices that foreground and amplify the performer's subjectivity. Through the processes of commissioning, performing and recording these works, I aim to answer the questions "Who am I? What do I sound like? Does who I am matter for what I sound like? Does what I sound like matter for who I am?". [...]

description: We consider the quark-mass dependence of the baryon octet and decuplet ground state masses. It is predicted that QCD dynamics implies a first order transition when increasing the strange quark mass from its chiral limit towards its physical value. Our claim relies on a global fit to the available QCD lattice data on such baryon masses. Quantitative results based on an application of the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian at N$^3$LO are discussed. We predict an anomalous sector of QCD where stable baryonic matter would be composed of lambda or anti-lambda particles rather than nucleons and anti-nucleons.

description: Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has novel technological advances in simultaneous power generation and wastewater treatment applications. In this study, low-cost biosynthesized α-MnO2 nanoparticles integration with conducting polyaniline (PANI) matrix to form α-MnO2/PANI hybrid nanocomposite was fabricated by in situ polymerization method. The prepared material was characterized through UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, TGA-DTA, DSC, SEM, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance spectroscopy. MFC performance study was done by using an external resistance in the range of 100 Ω–100 kΩ. The continuous test on bare pencil graphite electrode (PGE), α-MnO2/PGE, PANI/PGE, and α-MnO2/PANI/PGE were evaluated in glucose-fed-Escherichia coli-based MFC. It was found that α-MnO2/PANI/PGE produces a maximum power and current densities of 426.26 ± 38.89 mW m−2 and 2485.51 ± 397.31 mA m−2, respectively. This was 6.5 and 5.7-fold higher in power and current densities than unmodified PGE. The maximum chemical oxygen demand produced by hybrid composite modified anode during closed circuit voltage or with external resistance and open circuit voltage (OCV) (circuit without connecting external resistance) measurements were found to be 88.19% and 92.27%, respectively. A maximum of 650.61 ± 10.11 mV OCV was obtained by α-MnO2/PANI/PGE while 222.36 ± 8.16 mV of OCV was generated by PGE.

description: Learning of a smooth but nonparametric probability density can be regularized using methods of Quantum Field Theory. We implement a field theoretic prior numerically, test its efficacy, and show that the data and the phase space factors arising from the integration over the model space determine the free parameter of the theory ("smoothness scale") self-consistently. This persists even for distributions that are atypical in the prior and is a step towards a model-independent theory for learning continuous distributions. Finally, we point out that a wrong parameterization of a model family may sometimes be advantageous for small data sets.

description: Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) are analogues of DNA that bind to DNA and RNA via Watson-Crick base-pairing rules. Due to the lack of a negatively-charged backbone, hybridisation of PNA to DNA or RNA occurs without electrostatic repulsion thus binding is typically stronger and more rapid than when traditional DNA probes are used. This is reflected in the increased melting temperature (Tm) of the conjugates. These properties, as well as the chemical and biological stability of PNA, make these molecules attractive for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Amino acids are routinely conjugated to PNA probes to enhance the synthesis and solubility of the probes or assist with their cellular delivery, however little thought is given to the impact these modifications have on their hybridisation properties. In this work, a series of PNA-peptide chimeric assemblies based around a single PNA sequence were used to investigate the effect different amino acids have on the stability and specificity of PNA/DNA hybridisation. These experiments demonstrated that the positively charged amino acid lysine, which is routinely conjugated to PNA probes, increases the stability of the resultant PNA/DNA duplexes such that at many experimental temperatures, single base mismatched target DNA will also stably hybridise with PNA. In contrast, the negatively charged amino acid glutamic acid decreases the thermal stability of the mismatch duplexes sufficiently so that they are not stable at most experimental temperatures, whilst the fully complementary duplex is. This indicates that glutamic acid should replace lysine as the routine solubility enhancing group used for PNA probes.
The Gaia reference frame for bright sources examined using VLBI observations of radio stars

description: Positions and proper motions of Gaia sources are expressed in a reference frame that ideally should be non-rotating relative to distant extragalactic objects, coincident with the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), and consistent across all magnitudes. For sources fainter than 16th magnitude this is achieved thanks to Gaia's direct observations of quasars. At brighter magnitudes it is difficult to validate the quality of the reference frame due to the scarcity of comparison data. This paper examines the use of VLBI observations of radio stars to determine the spin and orientation of the bright reference frame of Gaia. Simultaneous estimation of the six spin and orientation parameters makes optimal use of VLBI data and makes it possible to include even single-epoch VLBI observations in the solution. The method is applied to Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) using published VLBI data for 41 radio stars. Results for the 26 best-fitting sources indicate that the bright reference frame of Gaia DR2 is rotating relative to the faint quasars at a rate of about 0.1 mas/yr, significant at 2-sigma level. This supports a similar conclusion based on a comparison with stellar positions in the Hipparcos frame. The accuracy is currently limited by the small number of radio sources used, by uncertainties in the Gaia DR2 proper motions, and by the astrophysical nature of the radio stars. While the origin of the indicated rotation is understood and can be avoided in future data releases, it remains important to validate the bright reference frame of Gaia by independent observations. This can be achieved using VLBI astrometry, which may require re-observing the old sample of radio stars as well as measuring new objects. The unique historical value of positional measurements is stressed and VLBI observers are urged to ensure that relevant positional information is preserved for the future.

description: Competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) plays a vital role in cancer stem cells. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of the circular RNA (circRNA) antisense to the cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CDR1as) during competitive inhibition of microRNA-7 (miR-7) in the regulation of autophagy to modulate the proliferation and migration of breast cancer stem cells. The CD44+/CD24- phenotype breast cancer stem cells were sorted from the original MCF7 cell by flow cytometry. RT-qPCR was applied to assess the expression of CDR1as and miR-7 in MCF7-Parent and MCF7-Stem cells. The activity of autophagy was evaluated followed the knockdown and overexpression of CDR1as. The correlation between CDR1as and miR-7 and between CDR1as and miR-7-target mRNAs were evaluated. This study revealed that CDR1as overexpression was associated with up-regulation of autophagy and that CDR1as competitive inhibition of miR-7 enhanced the LKB1-AMPK-mTOR signaling and autophagy-associated genes in breast cancer stem cells. CDR1as promoted the cell growth and migration of breast CSCs via the CDR1as/miR-7 axis, and knockdown of CDR1as and miR-7 overexpression obviously impaired the ability of growth and migration. The present study added a new view of developing a new therapeutic strategy against breast cancer.

By appropriate heat treatments, we have been able to increase Jc by more than one order of magnitude from that of the as-drawn wire. We show that one beneficial effect of the annealing is the elimination of most of the micro-cracks, and we correlate the increase in Jc with the disappearance of the weak-link-type behavior.

A collection of musical exercises devised to develop basic technical skills with limited use of the valves is also included. These can be used in warmups and technical routines to build stamina, control and mastery of the instrument. The collection titled Manual of Selected Exercises Executable Using Uncommon Fingerings can be found in the second part of the thesis. It includes discussion of the skill each exercise is designed to develop, as well as suggestions on the optimum ways of execution

description: Let $Ω$ be an open, smooth, bounded subset of $ \Bbb R ^n$. In connection with the fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^a$ ($a>0$), and more generally for a $2a$-order classical pseudodifferential operator ($ψ$do) $P$ with even symbol, one can define the Dirichlet value $γ_0^{a-1}u$ resp. Neumann value $γ_1^{a-1}u$ of $u(x)$ as the trace resp. normal derivative of $u/d^{a-1}$ on $\partialΩ$, where $d(x)$ is the distance from $x\inΩ$ to $\partialΩ$; they define well-posed boundary value problems for $P$. A Green's formula was shown in a preceding paper, containing a generally nonlocal term $(Bγ_0^{a-1}u,γ_0^{a-1}v)_{\partialΩ}$, where $B$ is a first-order $ψ$do on $\partialΩ$. Presently, we determine $B$ from $L$ in the case $P=L^a$, where $L$ is a strongly elliptic second-order differential operator. A particular result is that $B=0$ when $L=-Δ$, and that $B$ is multiplication by a function (is local) when $L$ equals $-Δ$ plus a first-order term. In cases of more general $L$, $B$ can be nonlocal.

Adipocytes Secrete Lipid-Laden Exosomes and Influence Local Macrophage Behavior

description: To meet the body’s metabolic needs, adipocytes release fatty acids and glycerol through the action of neutral lipases. Lipids are also key local regulators of immune function. During obesity, triglycerides accumulate in adipose tissue macrophages and this accumulation is associated with systemic metabolic complications including insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. While studying the accumulation of lipid in adipose tissue macrophages, we discovered a secondary pathway of lipid release from adipocytes that occurs via exosomes and is independent of canonical lipolysis. Bone-Marrow-Derived Macrophages (BMDMs) cultured with lipase-deficient adipose tissue (as compared to WT) accumulate similar levels of neutral lipid, despite a marked decrease in free fatty acid release from these tissues. Adipocytes release exosome-sized vesicles (AdExos) that contain high levels of neutral lipid, that can be found in both adipose tissue conditioned medium and in circulation. Lean animals release ~ 1% of their adipocyte lipid content per day via exosomes; this rate more than doubles with obesity. AdExos are taken up almost exclusively by local macrophages and are sufficient to induce the lipid-loading seen in BMDMs co-cultured with adipose tissue. AdExos and associated factors are sufficient to foster differentiation of bone marrow precursors into adipose tissue macrophage-like cells by inducing multinucleation, increased lysosomal program, increased ATM-associated gene expression, and increased lipid content. Our findings suggest both a novel pathway of local lipid release and a mechanism by which parenchymal cells can modulate tissue resident macrophage differentiation and function.

description: To comprehensively examine the antioxidant capacity of Perilla frutescens leaves extract, eight assays including hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, ferrous ion-chelating, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, and ferrous reducing antioxidant assays were employed. The results indicated that the ethyl acetate–soluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract displayed the highest antioxidant activities. The antioxidant constituents from ethyl acetate–soluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract were screened by 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl high-performance liquid chromatography, and 11 compounds were identified after isolation using step-wise high-speed countercurrent chromatography. Protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, luteolin, methyl-rosmarinic acid, apigenin, and 4′,5,7-trimethoxyflavone are the major antioxidant constituents in ethyl acetate–soluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract.

Tetraneutron condensation in neutron rich matter

description: In this work we investigate the possible condensation of tetraneutron resonant states in the lower density neutron rich gas regions inside Neutron Stars (NSs). Using a relativistic density functional approach we characterize the system containing different hadronic species including, besides tetraneutrons, nucleons and a set of light clusters ($^3$He, $α$ particles, deuterium and tritium). $σ,ω$ and $ρ$ mesonic fields provide the interaction in the nuclear system. We study how the tetraneutron presence could significantly impact the nucleon pairing fractions and the distribution of baryonic charge among species. For this we assume that they can be thermodynamically produced in an equilibrated medium and scan a range of coupling strengths to the mesonic fields from prescriptions based on isospin symmetry arguments. We find that tetraneutrons may appear over a range of densities belonging to the outer NS crust carrying a sizable amount of baryonic charge thus depleting the nucleon pairing fractions.

Admissible subcategories of del Pezzo surfaces

description: Admissible subcategories are building blocks of semiorthogonal decompositions. Many examples of them are known, but few general properties have been proved, even for admissible subcategories in the derived categories of coherent sheaves on basic varieties such as projective spaces. We use a relation between admissible subcategories and anticanonical divisors to study admissible subcategories of del Pezzo surfaces. We show that any admissible subcategory of the projective plane has a full exceptional collection, and since all exceptional objects and collections for the projective plane are known, this provides a classification result for admissible subcategories. We also show that del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least three do not contain so-called phantom subcategories. These are the first examples of varieties of dimension larger than one that have some nontrivial admissible subcategories, but provably do not contain phantoms.

description: We work out domain walls in neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids realized in the core of neutron stars. Adopting the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory as a bosonic low-energy effective theory, we consider configurations of domain walls interpolating ground states, i.e., the uniaxial nematic (UN), D$_{2}$-biaxial nematic (D$_{2}$-BN), and D$_{4}$-biaxial nematic (D$_{4}$-BN) phases in the presence of zero, small and large magnetic fields, respectively. We solve the Euler-Lagrange equation from the GL free energy density, and calculate surface energy densities of the domain walls. We find that one extra Nambu-Goldstone mode is localized in the vicinity of a domain wall in the UN phase while a U(1) symmetry restores in the vicinity of one type of domain wall in the D$_{2}$-BN phase and all domain walls in the D$_{4}$-BN phase. Considering a pile of domain walls in the neutron stars, we find that the most stable configurations are domain walls perpendicular to the magnetic fields piled up in the direction along the magnetic fields in the D$_{2}$-BN and D$_{4}$-BN phases. We estimate the energy released from the deconstruction of the domain walls in the edge of a neutron star, and show that it can reach an astrophysical scale such as glitches in neutron stars.
