title: Exploring the experiences of siblings of young people diagnosed
with an ‘eating disorder’
Creators: name: Moses, Davina
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2013

description: Background and Aims: Research focused on the families of children and
adolescents diagnosed with an ‘eating disorder’ has long suggested an impact on the
family and individual family members. It is increasingly acknowledged through
research and clinical practice that siblings can play an important part in the support
and recovery of young people diagnosed with an ‘eating disorder’. However, less is
known about the views of siblings in this context and the ways in which they might
experience the situation. The use of the sibling perspective in qualitative
psychological research is emerging however, a limited number of studies specific to
the field of ‘eating disorders’ have used such methods. The current study therefore
aimed to find out what siblings said about the experiences of living with a brother or
sister diagnosed with an ‘eating disorder’. The study aimed to hear about their
experiences; the ways in which they felt the situation might impact on their lives; and
their views about professional support.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six siblings all aged
between 11 and 18 years. All had a sibling diagnosed with an ‘eating disorder’ who
had, or was receiving professional support for this. Verbatim interview transcripts
were analysed using Thematic Analysis.
Results: The analysis produced five main themes. These were: ‘Making sense of it
all’; “Home’s not how I remember”; “It impacts me too’; “To talk or not to talk?”; and
“Life goes on”. A description of these themes and associated sub-themes is
presented.
Conclusion: Siblings report experiencing impact in a number of aspects of their lives
and within family life. The results of the analysis offer support for previous findings
within the sibling literature and further justify the need for on-going, wider research
using sibling accounts. Clinical implications and directions for future research are
discussed.

description: We present ultraviolet (UV) observations of six nearby Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, three of which were also observed in the near-IR (NIR) with Wide-Field Camera~3. UV observations with the Swift satellite, as well as ground-based optical and near-infrared data provide complementary information. The combined data-set covers the wavelength range $0.2$--$2~μ$m. By also including archival data of SN 2014J, we analyse a sample spanning observed colour excesses up to $E(B-V)=1.4~$mag. We study the wavelength dependent extinction of each individual SN and find a diversity of reddening laws when characterised by the total-to-selective extinction $R_V$. In particular, we note that for the two SNe with $E(B-V)\gtrsim1~$mag, for which the colour excess is dominated by dust extinction, we find $R_V=1.4\pm0.1$ and $R_V=2.8\pm0.1$. Adding UV photometry reduces the uncertainty of fitted $R_V$ by $\sim50\,$% allowing us to also measure $R_V$ of individual low-extinction objects which point to a similar diversity, currently not accounted for in the analyses when SNe~Ia are used for studying the expansion history of the universe.

title:  L’eresia originaria e le sue alterazioni. II – Definizione giovannea e dispositivo dialettico di un’idea cristiana
Creators: name: Lettieri,  Gaetano
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2019

description: Il saggio è dedicato a difendere la centralità storico-interpretativa della categoria di eresia, restituita come caratterizzata da un dispositivo apocalittico e considerata irrinunciabile per una rigorosa indagine critica e non confessionale delle origini cristiane, seppure il termine sia raramente attestato nel I secolo. Accanto alla nozione tradizionale, dogmatico-confessionale (e giovannea) di eresia si propone un’altra definizione di eresia, dinamica e relativa, assunta in senso storico-critico come pretesa kerygmatica, che viene allontanandosi, in misura più o meno radicale, dalla scaturigine ebraica, che indelebilmente segna l’identità del riferimento irrinunciabile di qualsiasi pretesa cristiana: l’ebreo eretico Gesù di Nazareth. Nascendo come polimorfa eresia ebraica, il cristianesimo si afferma pertanto come nuovo sistema religioso attraverso l’equilibrio protocattolico tra fedeltà alla propria origine di scarto eretico e condanna di interpretazioni cristiane troppo remote dalla matrice ebraica.

title:  Jean-Luc Nancy e L’imperativo categorico
Creators: name: Failla  ,  Mariannina
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2019

description: Il saggio si sofferma sulla proposta interpretativa dell’imperativo categorico avanzata da J-L. Nancy. Il filosofo francese non si limita ad interpretare la coppia categorico/ipotetico attraverso la logica aristotelico, ma s’interessa alla potenza pratica dell’ordine categoriale della logica trascendentale, alla prescrittività di tale ordine o, per meglio dire, alla sua auto¬prescrittività.  Esso è “ordine della relazione fra esistenti”; la sua imperatività implica che il “mondo debba essere”, debba essere messo “assolutamente in opera”. Coerente con la centralità del kategorèin in ambito pratico, Nancy ritiene essenziale l’espressione kantiana “legge universale della natura” per individuare il significato della formulazione dell’imperativo categorico. Tale significato sarà illustrato con un duplice movimento argomentativo: il confronto con le opere etiche kantiane (Fondazione della metafisica dei costumi e Critica della ragione pratica, in particolare Prefazione  e Tipica del giudizio pratico puro), da un lato e l’analisi della critica che Nancy avanza nei confronti di interpretazioni soggettiviste o “egoiste” dell’universalizzazione della massima categorica, dall’altro.  A ciò si connetteranno riflessioni sul complesso rapporto fra imperiosità coercitiva del comando e libertà. Nell’interpretazione di Nancy emerge, a questo proposito, una richiesta inedita e molto interessante: egli ci invita a non pensare che sia l’imperatività assoluta della massima categorica a determinare la nostra libertà, bensì al contrario che sia la libertà ad autodeterminarsi come imperativa. Il saggio terrà conto, nella fase finale, del tema del male e della radicale interpretazione di sapore paolino che sembra trasparire dalle parole di Nancy.

description: We investigate the observed correlation between the 2--10 keV X-ray luminosity (in unit of the Eddington luminosity; $l_X \equiv L_X/L_{Edd}$) and the photon index ($Γ$) of the X-ray spectrum for both black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We construct a large sample, with $10^{-9} < l_X < 10^{-1}$. We find that $Γ$ is positively and negatively correlated with $l_X$ when $l_X > 10^{-3}$ and $10^{-6.5} < l_X < 10^{-3}$ respectively, while $Γ$ is nearly a constant when $l_X < 10^{-6.5}$. We explain the above correlation in the framework of a coupled hot accretion flow -- jet model. The radio emission always come from the jet while the X-ray emission comes from the accretion flow and jet when $l_X$ is above and below $10^{-6.5}$, respectively. More specifically, we assume that with the increase of mass accretion rate, the hot accretion flow develops into a clumpy and further a disc -- corona two-phase structure because of thermal instability. We argue that such kind of two-phase accretion flow can explain the observed positive correlation.

description: This thesis primarily investigated the extent to which the capacity for emotion regulation is preserved in older adults. In doing this, the current research explored possible contributors that might help explain how older adults regulate their emotions as well as young adults, and the limitations to emotion regulation ability in ageing. Subtle changes in muscle activity associated with positive and negative facial expressions were measured with zygomaticus and corrugator facial electromyography (EMG) as a novel technique to determine age differences in specific emotion regulation use, as well as age differences in emotional reactivity.

description: Ideal series of semigroups play an important role in the examination of semigroups which have proper two-sided ideals. But the corresponding theorems cannot be used when left simple (or right simple or simple) semigroups are considered. So it is a natural idea that we try to use the group theoretical methods (instead of the ring theoretical ones) for the examination of these semigroups. The purpose of this paper is to find a suitable type of subsemigroups of left simple semigroups which makes possible for us to generalize some notions (the notion of the normal series and the composition series of groups) and some results concerning the groups to the left simple semigroups. We note that the subsemigroups we are looking for are the reflexive unitary subsemigroups of left simple semigroups.

Creators: name: Pugliese  ,  Alice
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2019

description: Il problema dell'intersoggettività ha un destino ambiguo all'interno della fenomenologia, poiché risponde ad un atteggiamento contraddittorio. Da un lato, la questione dell'intersoggettività sembra essere solo l'applicazione delle teorie e dei metodi fenomenologici ad una particolare questione di fatti. Dall'altro, le questioni relative all'intersoggettività hanno un grande peso proprio per il loro manifesto significato pratico, esistenziale e personale. Proprio quest’ultimo elemento ha indotto la tradizione francese (J. P. Sartre, M. Merleau-Ponty, E. Levinas e oggi J. L. Marion e J. L. Nancy) a trarre conseguenze esistenziali dall'analisi epistemologica husserliana. In questo saggio, l’autrice cerca di ricostruire il percorso di Husserl verso una teoria dell'intersoggettività che possa essere opportunamente definita come "genetica". A tal fine, prenderà in considerazione due momenti testuali cruciali all'interno del vasto corpus di Husserl: un primissimo manoscritto sull'intersoggettività del 1905 e le conferenze di Husserl a Parigi: le Meditazioni cartesiane (1929).

Investigating TEM sample preparation methods for Ti-Ni based shape memory alloy wires for use in in-situ TEM
Creators: name: Mulcahy, Neil
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Engineering

description: TEM and particularly in-situ TEM investigations of shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the potential to produce an experimental understanding of some of the unknown fundamental problems faced in SMA research, such as fatigue and forward transformation mechanisms at a fundamental level. Such experiments are underrepresented in SMA research due to the difficulty faced in preparing electron transparent SMA samples. This thesis seeks to investigate the most widespread TEM sample preparation methods used for the preparation of Ti-Ni based SMAs and will show a comparative study of these methods to identify the most appropriate and reproducible method for use in in-situ TEM experiments. This thesis will outline in detail step by step guides on how to produce electron transparent TEM samples from commercially available Ti-Ni based SMA wires through electropolishing and focused ion beam methods. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods from a literature standpoint will be detailed followed by an investigation of these advantages and disadvantages from an experimental standpoint. Both methods will be compared using HRTEM images and diffraction patterns using a number of different Ti-Ni based SMA wire samples, as well as a general discussion on the difficulties faced using both methodologies. Each methods applicability for use in in-situ TEM experiments and an in-depth discussion on future in-situ work that can be conducted using the prepared samples will also be given. The thesis presents unexpected results in which FIB methods proved to be more reliable and reproduceable in comparison to electropolishing methods. Various problems were encountered with electropolishing such as maintaining the electrolyte at a low temperature, maintaining a high current and difficulties in relation to imaging such as charging and not reaching eucentric height within the microscope from produced electropolished samples. FIB methods produced no signs of Ga+ induced defects or dislocations which were expected based on available literature, and a lot of HRTEM and FFT analysis could be conducted in comparison to the electropolished samples.

Far above the condensation threshold we observe a pronounced increase in the dispersion curvature with a subsequent linearization of the spectrum and strong luminescence from a ghost branch orthogonally polarized with respect to the linearly polarized condensate emission. The presence of the ghost branch has been confirmed in time-resolved measurements. The dissipative and nonequilibrium effects in the photoluminescence of polariton condensates and their excitations are discussed.

description: Evidential-EM (E2M) algorithm is an effective approach for computing maximum likelihood estimations under finite mixture models, especially when there is uncertain information about data. In this paper we present an extension of the E2M method in a particular case of incom-plete data, where the loss of information is due to both mixture models and censored observations. The prior uncertain information is expressed by belief functions, while the pseudo-likelihood function is derived based on imprecise observations and prior knowledge. Then E2M method is evoked to maximize the generalized likelihood function to obtain the optimal estimation of parameters. Numerical examples show that the proposed method could effectively integrate the uncertain prior infor-mation with the current imprecise knowledge conveyed by the observed data.

Dealing with Risk in Business Networks: The Use of Institutional Devices
Creators: name: Rindt, Jekaterina
Publisher: name: Publisher unspecified
Year: 2017
Subjects: Risk

description: This thesis examines how companies deal with risk in business networks.
      Drawing on empirical evidence from German food retailer-manufacturer
      networks and existent research conducted at the intersection of business
      network and institutional research, this thesis examines two
      under-researched questions: What constitutes risk in business networks?
      And how do companies deal with risk in business networks?

      In answering these questions, this research refines our understanding of
      risk in business networks by proposing an uncertainty-based
      conceptualisation of risk and developing an institution-based explanation
      of how companies deal with risk in business networks. While network
      research provides a relevant ontological understanding of business
      interactions, this thesis draws on institutional research to explain how
      companies use institutional devices, including industry standards, General
      Terms and Conditions and framework contracts, for dealing with risk at
      three interdependent levels of interaction: Network, focal, and dyadic
      interaction. In this way, the thesis offers one of the first ventures
      developing an institution-based explanation of how companies deal with
      risk in business networks.

      The institution-based explanation of how companies deal with risk is
      captured in the development of an integrative framework. This framework
      conceptually crystallizes the synthesis of network and institution-based
      research by mapping companies’ use of institutional devices onto the three
      levels of network interaction. The institution-based explanation
      illuminates how institutional devices facilitate dealing with risk
      interactively across direct and indirect interactions, because their
      manifestation in business artefacts enables transcending time and space.
      This contribution is informed by empirical analysis of business
      artefacts-in-use and is conceptually captured in extending the
      Actor-Resources-Activities model.

      Methodologically, this thesis employs a critical realist epistemology and
      network ontology to underpin qualitative case study research in German
      food retailer-manufacturer networks. The empirical evidence involves data
      triangulation from 42 in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant
      observation and analysis of business artefacts-in-use, including
      documentation of the International Featured Standard, eleven General Terms
      and Conditions and six framework contracts.

description: As part of the CETAF COVID19 task force, Plazi liberated taxonomic treatments, figures, observation records, biotic interactions, taxonomic names, and collection and specimen codes involving bats and viruses from scholarly publications with the intention to create open access, findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data (FAIR). The data is accessible via TreatmentBank and the Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR) and it is continually harvested and reused by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI). This data was processed, enhanced and liberated by the Plazi workflow, which involves a dedicated infrastructure including a desktop application (GoldenGate Imagine) that converts portable document format files (PDF) to a dedicated open compressed file format (Image Markup File (IMF)) that is responsible for the data enhancement. To enhance the data contained in the publications, including the biological interactions, a series of standards and vocabularies are used. To the exception of TaxPub, which is a taxonomic specific extension of the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS), all other used vocabulary were previously proposed. This goes along with Plazi’s mission to reuse standards unless they are not available. The following standards of vocabularies are used: Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) to model article metadata information on Plazi’s XMLs; Darwin Core for taxonomic ranks and materials citation related data; Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO); Relations Ontology for biological interactions between organisms. The latter two are also used in the custom metadata in the Biodiversity Literature Repository at Zenodo. In this presentation we will provide an overview of the different types of data followed by the standards or vocabularies applied for every and each one of them and their parts. The goal is to provide the context on how the data liberated by Plazi is described, which is extensively reused by third-party applications such as GBIF or GloBI. The use of the standards allows fully automated, daily data ingests by GBIF.

OPTOMECHANICAL COLLECTIVE EFFECTS USING COLD ATOMS IN FREE SPACE: COLLECTIVE ATOMIC RECOIL LASING & OPTICAL BINDING
Creators: name: TARRAMERA GISBERT, ANGEL
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: This theoretical doctoral thesis investigates the collective effects that emerge in cold atomic systems caused by light-scattering in free space. Two specific cases are investigated: the collective atomic recoil laser (CARL) effect in a cold gas, without optical cavity, and a novel cooperative cooling effect via optical binding (OB) with cold atoms. As a main objective, this theoretical project investigates the spatial grating structures and the backward radiation that appears in a cold atomic cloud when it is irradiated by a single far-detuned laser beam, also known as CARL effect. While this effect has traditionally been described using a ring cavity, the study is performed here in free space, in the absence of such a cavity. Both 2D and 3D clouds show a transition from single-atom isotropic scattering to collective directional scattering. The effect is shown by the derivation and numerical solution of a set of multi-particle motion equations coupled by a self-consistent optical field, which is inspected with both a scalar model and a vectorial model. New original approaches are used to address the numerical study of the dynamics of the atomic system, such as molecular dynamics (MD) algorithms. A second system emerged, from the attempt to understand the main objective, where a few atoms rearrange themselves into crystalline atomic structures, with a periodicity between particles close to the optical wavelength. The atomic system is initially confined into a 2D plane (or 1D string) using two (or four) counter-propagating laser beams. Due to the multiple scattering experienced by all the particles in the system, a dipole-dipole force arises among them, generating a non-trivial dynamical trapping potential landscape that compels the atoms, to self-organize at distances multiple of the light wavelength. When atoms are rearranged into an atomic crystal, the force acting on each particle depends on the position of the others, thus allowing to study the stability of such optically bound structures. In addition, it turns out that a non-conservative force is generated from the dipole-dipole interaction, allowing the system to be cooled by controlling the value of certain parameters. This new phenomenon arises as a direct consequence of the use of cold atoms instead of dielectric nanoparticles in an OB system. Therefore, besides the atomic external motion, internal degrees of freedom (DOF) of the atoms are considered by treating each atom as a dipole. This latter aspect is investigated using the coupled dipole equations. When multiple atoms are set in line, the cooling mechanism is collectively enhanced, generating a novel cooperative cooling effect.

description: La irrupción de las representaciones de lo divino en nubes en el arte renacentista ha sido explicada por los estudiosos mediante la aparición de recursos técnicos que fueron desarrollados en dicho periodo. Nuestra investigación pretende establecer una nueva interpretación de este fenómeno. A partir de la traducción al latín de la Ilíada desde el siglo XIV, proponemos a la epopeya homérica como fuente alegórica para comprender la proliferación de imágenes de la divinidad en nubes.

Die Lautenkompositionen Johann Sebastian Bachs. Ein Beitrag zur kritischen Wertung aus spielpraktischer Sicht
Creators: name: Burguéte, André
Publisher: name: Bach-Jahrbuch
Year: 2018

description: Eine Untersuchung der Konstruktion und Spieltechnik von Lauten des 18. Jahrhunderts zeigt, dass Bachs Lautenkompositionen BWV 995-1000 mit Blick auf die technischen Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Instruments geschrieben wurden. Auszuschließen ist jedoch weitgehend der Einsatz von Skordatur. Aus diesem Grund kann c-Moll nicht die Originaltonart der Partita BWV 997 gewesen sein, während die Suite BWV 996 in d-Moll gestanden haben muss. Die Partita in E-Dur BWV 1006a kann nicht auf der Laute aufgeführt werden; sie muss dem Lautenclavicymbel zugeordnet werden. (Übertragung des englischen Resümees am Ende des Bandes)

description: The aim of this PhD research was to describe an assessment of the potential impacts of climate change as well as climate variability on rice production. It also discusses selected adaptation options within the context of the Malian agriculture. The research centers on an integrated modelling approach (BioMA) to compute current and future (2020, 2050) crop yields in the agricultural region of the Office du Niger (Mali). BioMA ? Biophysical Models Application ? is a platform for running biophysical models on generic spatial units. The application is based on independent components which allow implementing modelling solutions targeted to specific modelling goals. The collected data were used to (i) develop new modules (a model for simulating the height of the plant) (ii) implement the existing ones according to the peculiarities of the sub-Saharan environment (i.e. the Agromanagement module was extended in order to take into account the beginning of the rainy season) and to (iii) calibrate and validate the modelling solution defined for the purpose. Although parameterization procedures were performed in critical conditions ? being reference data from the area a limiting factor ? a preliminary calibration of WARM, for tropical and subtropical conditions, could be performed aromatically on Chinese datasets. Indeed these results achieved from these modelling exercises showed that the model is robust and able to reproduce yield variability within years and locations which made it suitable for the impact assessment study in Mali. The impact assessment on cropping systems was evaluated via a difference analysis with respect to the current conditions, focusing on changes in total biomass, final yield and transpiration demand. An overall reduction can be expected in 2050 (up to complete failure of the crop) whereas different results were obtained for 2020. The main season seem to be little affected by the increase of temperatures whereas the first cycle, which takes already place under extremely high temperatures, will face reductions up to 25%. Based on the results obtained in the impact assessment changes in sowing dates were tested in order to detect the most suitable management techniques which allow alleviating the negative effect of climate changes. The results suggested that changes in the sowing may be very effective in mitigating the adverse effect of climate change as well as the use of new crop cultivars with longer vegetative cycles. In fact in both systems an increase of production can be expected at short-term whereas at medium-term the losses can be significantly reduced.

description: Using the model of a generalized Van der Pol oscillator in the regime of subcritical Hopf bifurcation we investigate the influence of time delay on noise-induced oscillations. It is shown that for appropriate choices of time delay either suppression or enhancement of coherence resonance can de achieved. Analytical calculations are combined with numerical simulations and experiments on an electronic circuit.
title: Predictive Models of Post-Wildfire Debris Flow Volume and Grain Size Distribution in the Intermountain West
Creators: name: Wall, Sara
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Post-fire debris flows represent the most erosive and potentially hazardous consequence associated with increasing wildfire severity. While an abundance of research has explored where they are likely to occur and their potential magnitude, investigations into understanding how they impact downstream resources are limited. Recent advancements are seeking to link predictive models together to be able to predict how erosion after wildfire may impact reservoirs and aquatic habitat downstream. However, there are two key missing pieces into our ability to examine watershed-scale impacts of post-fire erosion. These include having accurate predictions of how much sediment is likely to be deposited by post-fire debris flows and our ability to predict the sizes of sediment deposited by post-fire debris flows. Based on previous research and new fieldwork, we compiled a novel data set of depositional volumes and GSDs for 60 post-fire debris flows across the Intermountain West. This represents the largest data set of post-fire debris flow volumes outside of Southern California, and the largest aggregate data set of post-fire debris flow GSDs of which we are aware. With this data, we first evaluated existing models for post-fire debris flow volume prediction, which were largely developed using data from Southern California. Because these existing debris flow models don’t accurately predict volumes in our data set, we constructed a new post-fire debris flow volume prediction model for the Intermountain West using a combination of Random Forest modeling and regression analysis. Additionally, we constructed four post-fire debris flow sediment size predictive. These predictive models offer a first in-depth investigation into the upstream, landscape controls on the sediment sizes of post-fire debris flows. This study aims to improve post-fire debris flow characterization and better inform predictions of how post-fire sediment is transported downstream. This information will allow for improved assessments of post-fire threats to reservoir storage capacity, as well as aquatic habitat, in a diverse range of watersheds across the Intermountain West.

description: We study analytic surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space containing two circular arcs through each point. The problem of finding such surfaces traces back to the works of Darboux from XIXth century. We reduce finding all such surfaces to the algebraic problem of finding all Pythagorean 6-tuples of polynomials. The reduction is based on the Schicho parametrization of surfaces containing two conics through each point and a new approach using quaternionic rational parametrization.

Serendipity, talent and innovation

Year: 2023
Subjects: random strategies, research funding, innovation

description: Serendipity or “discovery by chance” is an ubiquitous phenomenon in scientific research and innovation. However in science funding the role of randomness is usually ignored. This produces often conformism and promotes a naif meritocracy which does not foster innovative ideas. In this talk I will discuss a simple agent-based model [1,2] that shows that, if it is true that some degree of talent is necessary to be successful in life/science, almost never the most talented people reach the highest peaks of success, being overtaken by averagely talented but sensibly luckier individuals. This counterintuitive result sheds new light on the effectiveness of assessing merit and resources only on the basis of the past reached level of success. I will also compare several policy hypotheses to show the most efficient strategies for distributing public funds for research, aiming to improve real meritocracy, diversity of ideas and innovation.

DISSECTING THE ROLE OF BRCA2, RAD51 AND SMARCAL1 IN VERTEBRATE CHROMOSOMAL DNA REPLICATION.

description: DNA replication is a fundamental macromolecular event that is essential for cell division. During each cell cycle the entire genome has to be precisely duplicated to ensure genome integrity and stability. In the process of DNA replication, replication forks encounter endogenous and exogenous lesions and these lesions have to be rectified to transfer stable genetic material to daughter cells. Emerging evidences connected a role for Homologous Recombination (HR) proteins to replication fork protection during unperturbed DNA replication. Since HR protein, BRCA2 and Rad51 are essential for cell survival we used Xenopus laevis cell-free extract to dissect the function of BRCA2 and Rad51 during chromosomal DNA replication. Using Electron Microscopy (EM) we show that BRCA2 and Rad51 function together to prevent single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulation at and behind the forks during unperturbed DNA replication. We further discovered that BRCA2 mediates interaction between Rad51, Polymerase alpha (?) and Polymerase delta (?) and this interaction likely promote efficient re-priming and polymerising activity at stalled replication forks to prevent ssDNA accumulation. Moreover we show that inhibition of replicative polymerases in the absence of Rad51 results in increased frequency of replication fork reversal activity. We further found that replication fork reversal is predominantly induced by an annealing helicase SMARCAL1 in the absence of Rad51. Collectively our findings indicate that, to prevent ssDNA accumulation and aberrant replication fork architecture, timely re-priming of Polymerase alpha mediated by Rad51 is essential. Hence, loss of Rad51 impact replication fork architecture, eventually resulting in chromosomal abnormalities.
Semimetallic transport properties of epitaxially stabilized perovskite CaIrO3 films

description: We report on the synthesis and transport properties of perovskite (Pv) CaIrO3 thin films. The Pv phase of CaIrO3 was stabilized by epitaxial growth on SrTiO3, (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7, and LaAlO3 substrates with strong tensile, weak tensile, and compressive strains, respectively. The resistivity of these films showed a poorly metallic behavior. The Hall resistivity exhibited a sign change as a function of temperature and a nonlinear magnetic-field dependence, which clearly indicated the coexistence of electrons and holes and hence supported that Pv CaIrO3 films are semimetallic. The observed robustness of the semimetallic ground state against tensile and compressive strains is consistent with the presence of symmetry-protected Dirac points (nodes) around the Fermi level that prohibits the system from becoming a band insulator.

description: In this article, we prove the existence of common fixed points for a pair of maps on a $q$-spherically complete $T_0$-ultra-quasi-metric space. The present article is a generalization, in the assymmetric setting of the paper of Rao et al.\cite{Rao}. The key point in the proof is the use of Zorn's lemma. We construct an appropriate chain and show that it has a maximal element, from which we extract the fixed point we are looking for. The choice of the sets, here open balls, is characteristic of this type of problems and the contraction condition are essential, specially when we are to establish the uniqueness of the fixed point
