description: We use our semi-analytic solution of the nonlinear force-free field equation to construct three-dimensional magnetic fields that are applicable to the solar corona and study their statistical properties for estimating the degree of braiding exhibited by these fields. We present a new formula for calculating the winding number and compare it with the formula for the crossing number. The comparison is shown for a toy model of two helices and for realistic cases of nonlinear force-free fields; conceptually the formulae are nearly the same but the resulting distributions calculated for a given topology can be different. We also calculate linkages, which are useful topological quantities that are independent measures of the contribution of magnetic braiding to the total free energy and relative helicity of the field. Finally, we derive new analytical bounds for the free energy and relative helicity for the field configurations in terms of the linking number. These bounds will be of utility in estimating the braided energy available for nano-flares or for eruptions.

description: We present the first long-term study of the optical counterpart to the X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431. The results of our photometric and spectroscopic analysis show that LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431 contains a moderately reddened, E(B-V)=0.65+-0.05, B0.2V star located at about 3.3 kpc. The Ha line consistently shows a double-peak profile varying from symmetric shape to completely distorted on one side (V/R phases). A correlation between the equivalent width of the Ha line and the infrared magnitudes is seen: as the EW(Ha) decreases the IR magnitudes become fainter. This long-term optical/IR variability is attributed to structural changes in the Be star's circumstellar disc. The observations include a recent decline in the circumstellar disc and subsequent recovery. We have witnessed the cessation of a global oscillation due to the decline of the circumstellar disc. If the present disc growth rate continues we predict the onset of another episode of V/R variability by the end of 2006. We have investigated the typical time scales for disc variability of various Be/X-ray binaries and found a correlation with the orbital period. This correlation is hard to establish due to the difficulty in defining the exact duration of the various activity states, but it is seen both in the duration of the disc growth/dissipation phase and the value of the Ha equivalent width prior to the appearance of asymmetric profiles. These relationships provide further evidence for the interaction of the neutron star with the circumstellar disc of the Be star's companion and confirms the need of a fully developed disc for the V/R variability to be observed.

description: Nanoinformatics is a relatively young field of study that is important due to its implications in the field of nanomedicine, specifically toward the development of nanoparticle drug delivery systems. As more structural, biochemical, and physiochemical data become available regarding nanoparticles, the greater the knowledge-gain from using nanoinformatics methods will become. While there are challenges that exist with nanoparticle data, including heterogeneity of data and complexity of the particles, nanoinformatics will be at the forefront of processing these data and aid in the design of nanoparticles for biomedical applications. In this dissertation, a review of data mining and machine learning studies performed in the field of nanomedicine is presented. Next, the use of natural language processing methods to extract numeric values of biomedical property terms of poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers from nanomedicine literature is demonstrated, along with successful extraction results. Following this is an implementation and its results of data mining techniques used for the development of predictive models of cytotoxicity of PAMAM dendrimers using their chemical and structural properties. Finally, a method and its results for using molecular dynamics simulations to test the ability of EDTA, as a gold standard, and generation 3.5 (G3.5) PAMAM dendrimers to chelate calcium.

description: CONTEXT. It is theoretically possible for rings to have formed around extrasolar planets in a similar way to that in which they formed around the giant planets in our solar system. However, no such rings have been detected to date. AIMS: We aim to test the possibility of detecting rings around exoplanets by investigating the photometric and spectroscopic ring signatures in high-precision transit signals. METHODS: The photometric and spectroscopic transit signals of a ringed planet is expected to show deviations from that of a spherical planet. We used these deviations to quantify the detectability of rings. We present SOAP3.0 which is a numerical tool to simulate ringed planet transits and measure ring detectability based on amplitudes of the residuals between the ringed planet signal and best fit ringless model. RESULTS: We find that it is possible to detect the photometric and spectroscopic signature of near edge-on rings especially around planets with high impact parameter. Time resolution $\leq$ 7 mins is required for the photometric detection, while 15 mins is sufficient for the spectroscopic detection. We also show that future instruments like CHEOPS and ESPRESSO, with precisions that allow ring signatures to be well above their noise-level, present good prospects for detecting rings.

description: We report experimental measurements and theoretical analysis of Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in a Dirac cone system: the a-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 organic metal under hydrostatic pressure. The measured SdH oscillations reveal anomalies at high magnetic fields B where the 1/B oscillations periodicity is lost above 7 T. We interpret these unusual results within a theoretical model that takes into account intrinsic distortions of the a-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 Dirac cones such as a parabolic particle-hole asymmetric correction. Others possible causes, such as a cone tilting or a Zeeman effect, are carefully ruled out. The observations are consistent among a-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 samples with different Fermi levels.

description: We study the dynamics of a single excitation in an infinite XXZ spin chain, which is launched from the origin. We study the time evolution of the spread of entanglement in the spin chain and obtain an expression for the second order spatial moment of concurrence, about the origin, for both ordered and disordered chains. In this way, we show that a finite central disordered region can lead to sustained superballistic growth in the second order spatial moment of entanglement within the chain.

Mormons, Sexual Minorities, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

description: Individuals who identify as Mormon-adherents to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Church), a distinct and peculiar form of Christianity-and who also identify as gay or lesbian face a unique challenge to their mental health as they wrestle with the integration of their faith and their sexuality. Compounding this matter is the commonly held belief that one cannot authentically be gay and Mormon nor can one be a practicing Mormon and gay. As academics and professionals gain a more nuanced understanding of the complexity of (a) those who identify as both Mormon and a sexual/gender minority, and (b) of the Church itself, they will begin to deconstruct their own biases and increase their multicultural competence, thus becoming better equipped to address the mental health concerns of this particular sexual-minority group. Cultural competence in this context involves an awareness that, under the modern gay rights movement, a troubling dominant discourse has emerged that-if taken to an extreme-is oppressive to the coexisting narrative of the LDS Church. For example, the LDS Church's doctrinal view on same-sex marriage contrasts sharply from the dominant, gay-affirming discourse and, as a result, has been stigmatized and marginalized. To examine this marginalization, I employ critical discourse analysis (CDA) in order to uncover the LDS Church's coexisting subordinate narrative and to further enable academics and professionals to deconstruct their own possible biases towards the Mormon religious minority group. Important to this deconstruction of bias is a realization that although cultural and societal values regarding sexuality, marriage, and family have rapidly evolved over this past decade, the fundamental doctrine of monogamous, heterosexual marriage espoused by LDS Church has not. Questions arise as to how orthodox Mormon families come to terms with their child coming out in light of the LDS Church's policy on same-sex marriage and families. To answer that question, I employ a case study method to explore the experience of one such orthodox Mormon family whose child came out as gay. The findings from my case study suggest that it is possible for families and individuals in these circumstances to develop and maintain loving and supportive relationships in spite of religious differences.

description: We present results from our ongoing follow-up observations of double white dwarf binaries detected in the ESO SN Ia Progenitor SurveY (SPY). We discuss our observing strategy and data analysis and present the orbital solutions of five close double white dwarf binaries: HE0320-1917, HE1511-0448, WD0326-273, WD1013-010 and WD1210+140. Their periods range from 0.44 to 3.22 days. In none of these systems we find any spectral lines originating from the companion. This rules out main sequence companions and indicates that the companion white dwarfs are significantly older and cooler than the bright component. Infrared photometry suggests the presence of a cool, helium-rich white dwarf companion in the binary WD0326-273. We briefly discuss the consequences of our findings for our understanding of the formation and evolution of double white dwarfs.

description: Bending rigidities of tensionless balanced liquid-liquid interfaces as occurring in microemulsions are predicted using self-consistent field theory for molecularly inhomogeneous systems. Considering geometries with scale invariant curvature energies gives unambiguous bending rigidities for systems with fixed chemical potentials: The minimal surface Im3m cubic phase is used to find the Gaussian bending rigidity, $\barκ$, and a torus with Willmore energy $W=2 π^2$ allows for direct evaluation of the mean bending modulus, $κ$. Consistent with this, the spherical droplet gives access to $2 κ+ \barκ$. We observe that $\barκ$ tends to be negative for strong segregation and positive for weak segregation; a finding which is instrumental for understanding phase transitions from a lamellar to a sponge-like microemulsion. Invariably, $κ$ remains positive and increases with increasing strength of segregation.

description: This paper presents a method for enumerating all encoding operators in the Clifford group for a given stabilizer. Furthermore, we classify encoding operators into the equivalence classes such that EDPs (Entanglement Distillation Protocol) constructed from encoding operators in the same equivalence class have the same performance. By this classification, for a given parameter, the number of candidates for good EDPs is significantly reduced. As a result, we find the best EDP among EDPs constructed from [[4,2]] stabilizer codes. This EDP has a better performance than previously known EDPs over wide range of fidelity.

description: People with schizophrenia experienced a higher level of internalized stigma compared to people with other mental disorders. Internalized stigma could lead to pervasive negative effects in their life. Although internalized stigma interventions have shown some benefits, there is a dearth of interventions and meanwhile a lack of evidence as to their effectiveness in people with schizophrenia. This study aims at examining the effectiveness of internalized stigma reduction in people with schizophrenia through a systematic review and meta‑analysis.

description: The 1-m telescope at Lulin Observatory and the 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope at Lick Observatory were used to observe the optical afterglow of the short-duration (1.2--1.5 s) gamma-ray burst (GRB) 040924. This object has a soft high-energy spectrum, thus making it an exceptional case, perhaps actually belonging to the short-duration tail of the long-duration GRBs. Our data, combined with other reported measurements, show that the early R-band light curve can be described by two power laws with index alpha = -0.7 (at t = 16-50 min) and alpha = -1.06 (at later times). The rather small difference in the spectral indices can be more easily explained by an afterglow model invoking a cooling break rather than a jet break.

Preliminary analysis of these data reveals a result inconsistent with a no-oscillation hypothesis at level of 5.8 sigma. The data are consistent with neutrino oscillations reported by Super-Kamiokande and K2K, with best fit parameters of $Δm^2_{23} = 3.05^{+0.60}_{-0.55}\times 10^-3$ and $\sin^22θ_{23} = 0.88^{+0.12}_{-0.15}$.

description: We present observations of the Herbig Ae star HD169142 with VLT/SPHERE instruments InfraRed Dual-band Imager and Spectrograph (IRDIS) ($K1K2$ and $H2H3$ bands) and the Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS) ($Y$, $J$ and $H$ bands). We detect several bright blobs at $\sim$180 mas separation from the star, and a faint arc-like structure in the IFS data. Our reference differential imaging (RDI) data analysis also finds a bright ring at the same separation. We show, using a simulation based on polarized light data, that these blobs are actually part of the ring at 180 mas. These results demonstrate that the earlier detections of blobs in the $H$ and $K_S$ bands at these separations in Biller et al. as potential planet/substellar companions are actually tracing a bright ring with a Keplerian motion. Moreover, we detect in the images an additional bright structure at $\sim$93 mas separation and position angle of 355$^{\circ}$, at a location very close to previous detections. It appears point-like in the $YJ$ and $K$ bands but is more extended in the $H$ band. We also marginally detect an inner ring in the RDI data at $\sim$100 mas. Follow-up observations are necessary to confirm the detection and the nature of this source and structure.

description: In 2004, we established a Japan-Taiwan-China collaboration for GRB study in the East-Asian region. This serves as a valuable addition to the world-wide optical and infrared follow-up network, because the East-Asia region would otherwise be blank. We have been carrying out imaging and spectroscopic follow-up observations at Lulin (Taiwan), Kiso (Japan), WIDGET (Japan) and Xinglong (China). From Xinglong and Kiso, we can locate candidates and obtain early time spectra for afterglows. While WIDGET provides early time observations before the burst, the high-time resolution for multi-band light curves can be obtained at Lulin. With the data from these sites, we can obtain detailed information about the light curve and redshift of GRBs, which are important to understand the mechanism of the afterglows. Up to March 2005, ten follow-up observations have been provided by this East-Asia cooperation. Two optical afterglows were detected, GRB 040924 and GRB 041006. The results of the two detected afterglows are reported in this article.

More and Less Guilt-Prone Children's Distress Changes Differently when they Narrate Harmdoings, According to Some but Not All Indicators of Distress

description: The study's goals were twofold: (1) to examine how children's and adolescents' guilt-proneness relates to the intensity and nature of their overall distress, and changes in their distress, when they narrate experiences of hurting others; and (2) to identify how these relations vary under distinct fault conditions and across childhood and adolescence. Participants were 116 participants, evenly divided into three age groups (ages 5, 9, and 16) and by sex. Results suggest that when more guilt-prone youth narrate harmdoing experiences, they feel more current overall distress than less guilt-prone youth, but not more past distress. Contrary to expectations, these relations do not vary between youths' narration of "it was my fault" and "it was not my fault" harmdoing experiences, and do not vary for younger and older youth. Additional analyses show that more and less guilt- prone youth have different patterns of change in their current distress over the course of their narratives about harmdoings, and these changes vary by fault condition. More guilt- prone children's distress is temporally stable during their narration of my-fault harm, and their distress changes in ways that are unlikely to last when they narrate not-my-fault harm, whereas less guilt-prone children's distress decreases steadily over the course of their storytelling under both conditions. Since current and unchanging feelings of distress may interfere with narrative processes whereby children learn from harmdoings, this study's findings suggest that more guilt-prone youth of all ages may construct understandings of their past harmdoings that are problematic for their moral development.
Dynamical equivalence, the origin of the Galactic field stellar and binary population, and the initial radius--mass relation of embedded clusters

description: In order to allow a better understanding of the origin of Galactic field populations, dynamical equivalence of stellar-dynamical systems has been postulated by Kroupa and Belloni et al. to allow mapping of solutions of the initial conditions of embedded clusters such that they yield, after a period of dynamical processing, the Galactic field population. Dynamically equivalent systems are defined to initially and finally have the same distribution functions of periods, mass ratios and eccentricities of binary stars. Here we search for dynamically equivalent clusters using the {\sc mocca} code. The simulations confirm that dynamically equivalent solutions indeed exist. The result is that the solution space is next to identical to the radius--mass relation of Marks \& Kroupa, $\left( r_h/{\rm pc} \right)= 0.1^{+0.07}_{-0.04}\, \left( M_{\rm ecl}/{\rm M}_\odot \right)^{0.13\pm0.04}$. This relation is in good agreement with the observed density of molecular cloud clumps. According to the solutions, the time-scale to reach dynamical equivalence is about 0.5~Myr which is, interestingly, consistent with the lifetime of ultra-compact HII regions and the time-scale needed for gas expulsion to be active in observed very young clusters as based on their dynamical modelling.

The Multifunctional Protein Beta-Catenin and Pancreatic Organogenesis
Creators: name: Baumgartner, Brett Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: During pancreatic organogenesis, all mature cell types in the pancreas arise from common multipotent pancreatic progenitor cells (MPCs), localized to the distal tip of the expanding epithelium. The dysfunction or destruction of pancreatic β-cells results in diabetes. Endeavors to treat this disease by replacing β-cells with new cells generated from stem cells will benefit from exploiting the pathways involved in the normal development of this pancreatic cell type from MPCs. Prior studies indicated that the protein β-catenin was required for the development of exocrine acinar cells, but the precise role of β-catenin in endocrine cell development remained controversial. β-catenin also performs two separate functions, one as a crucial component of canonical Wnt signaling and the other at cell-cell junctions where it binds with E-cadherin to stabilize adherens junctions. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand and separate the specific roles of β-catenin, whether signaling or structural in nature during pancreas development and β-cell development, particularly as it relates to the growth and maintenance of MPCs. Following the elimination of all β-catenin function in the early pancreas, I found that β-catenin is not required for the differentiation of β-cells, but that it was required to establish β-cell mass. This requirement played out not in β-cells themselves, but at the level of normally specified MPCs, in which β-catenin is necessary to both expand and maintain distal patterning in progenitors, providing a sufficient number of progenitors capable of producing β-cells. To determine whether the observed growth and patterning defects were due to the signaling or structural role of β-catenin, I use a signaling-deficient yet structurally-competent form of the protein. I found that the growth of the pancreas is dependent on the signaling role of β-catenin and surprisingly that patterning and exocrine acinar cell development require the structural role of β-catenin. Thus, both the signaling and structural roles of β-catenin are necessary for separate but equally important aspects of pancreas development. Together, the information presented in this dissertation provides new molecular insights into the role of β-catenin during pancreas and β-cell development.

description: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a widely used modality in integrative veterinary medicine for the treatment of various equine pathologies, primarily employed in the management of inflammatory, muscular, bone-related conditions, and in wound healing processes. PRP works by mobilizing platelets and growth factors to facilitate the healing and tissue regeneration in the injured region, aiding in the regression of the lesion. PRP is a byproduct derived from whole blood, consisting of a platelet aggregate with concentrations that must exceed 300,000 platelets/μL and be rich in growth factors. There are several protocols described in the literature for the preparation of platelet-rich plasma, but none are considered the preferred protocol, with variations in platelet concentrations among the existing protocols. During the research, three described protocols were evaluated, each with a specific factor to test and understand its impact on the final platelet concentration in PRP. Following the assessment of some of the protocols described in the literature, a study was conducted to develop a custom protocol that could contribute to equine veterinary medicine by providing PRP with high platelet concentrations and low red blood cell and white blood cell concentrations. The developed protocol is a triple centrifugation protocol, where the first centrifugation is performed at a speed of 100G for five minutes, the second centrifugation at 175G for five minutes, and the third centrifugation at 325G for five minutes. The protocol was able to achieve platelet concentrations close to 660x10³/μL, as well as red blood cell concentrations close to 50x10³ and white blood cell concentrations near 2.6x10³. As a result, a high-quality PRP with a good platelet concentration was produced, making it possible to use this protocol in equine medicine.

description: «Los lectores recordarán unas reflexiones en estas páginas sobre la palabra “huercos” (10/8/19). Hace un año leí otra, vagamente similar: “cuazito”. Fue en una red social (Reddit, usuario Lare2, 2020). Aludía a jóvenes/niños armados que enfrentaban a autoridades, pero de modo grotescamente desigual. Su origen se debe a que “nomás hacen cuaz (por el sonido al caer) cuando los matan”. Pero la hipótesis onomatopéyica no me convenció mucho».

description: Nanomaterials are the focus of intense research efforts in a variety of fields because of dramatic differences in properties when compared to the corresponding bulk materials. Catalysis is one material property that can become more pronounced at the nanoscale. By lowering energy requirements for chemical reactions, catalysts reduce production costs in diverse sectors of the economy, including medicine, transportation, environmental protection, oil and gas, food, and synthetic materials. Transition metals are an important class of catalysts capable of facilitating reduction and oxidation of molecular species. Since the discovery of transition metal catalysts nearly 200 years ago, certain metals were considered more active as catalysts (i.e., Pt, Pd, and Ru), while others (Au) appeared to have negligible catalytic activity as bulk materials. In recent years, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have become a fast-growing field of research owing to their unexpected catalytic properties not present in the bulk material. However, unsupported AuNPs are highly prone to flocculation and subsequent reduced catalytic activity. The choice of an appropriate aggregation-resistant stabilizing ligand for these nanoparticles is an important part of maintaining nanoscale catalytic properties. Additional stability is provided by anchoring AuNPs to support materials, allowing for dramatic improvements in catalyst lifetimes. This work discusses the development of novel diamond support materials for improving the stability of catalytically active AuNPs. Synthetic nanodiamond is a widely available, inexpensive, and robust material that has found applications in a wide range of commercial abrasives, lubricants, and composite materials. By exploiting the rich surface chemistry of nanodiamond, we have developed versatile catalyst support materials that offer unrivaled chemical and mechanical stability. Various nanodiamond surface modifications are readily prepared using a combination of chemical vapor deposition, photo-active polymer chemistry, and synthetic organic chemistry techniques. Control over the surface chemistry and properties of the resulting nanodiamond allow for increased stability of AuNPs via surface anchored thiol and amine moieties. The use of diamond as a support material should allow a wide variety of noble and nonprecious metal composite materials to be used as catalysts in harsh chemical environments not suitable for existing support materials.
Multiscale Models of Sea Ice Phenomena

description: Sea ice can be viewed as a composite material over multiple scales. On the smallest scale, sea ice is viewed as a two-phase composite of ice and brine. On the mesoscale, one may consider pancake ice and slush as a viscoelastic composite. On the larger scale, one may consider the mix of ice floes and water. With this view, a multitude of mathematical tools may be applied to develop novel models of physical sea ice processes. We model fluid and electrical transport viewing sea ice as a two-phase composite of ice and brine. We may then apply continuum percolation models to study critical behavior which we have experimentally confirmed. These percolation models suggest that the electrical conductivity and fluid permeability follow universal power law behavior as a function of brine volume fraction. We apply the results above for the electrical conductivity of sea ice to develop an inversion algorithm for surface impedance DC tomography. The algorithm retrieves both sea ice thickness and a layered stratigraphy of the sea ice resistivity. This is useful as resistivity carries information about the internal microstructure of the ice. We also apply network models to conductivity of sea ice and use some similar ideas to quantify the horizontal connectivity of melt ponds. On the larger scale, we study the problem of ocean wave dynamics in the marginal ice zone of the Arctic and Antarctic. We adopt the view that the ice and slush may be viewed as a viscoelastic layer atop an inviscid ocean. Models like these produce dispersion relations which describe wave propagation and attenuation into the ice pack. These dispersion relations depend on knowledge of the effective viscoelasticity of the ice/slush mix. This is a difficult parameter to measure in practice. To get around this, we apply homogenization theory to derive bounds on these parameters in the low frequency limit. This is accomplished through the derivation of a Stieltjes integral representation, involving a positive measure of a self-adjoint operator, for the effective elasticity tensor of the ice water composite. We have also developed a simplified wave equation for waves in the ice-water composite.
Determination of the NNLO low-energy constant $C_{93}$

description: Experimental data from hadronic $τ$ decays allow for a precision determination of the slope of the $I=1$ vacuum polarization at zero momentum. We use this information to provide a value for the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) low-energy constant $C_{93}$ in chiral perturbation theory. The largest systematic error in this determination results from the neglect of terms beyond NNLO in the effective chiral Lagrangian, whose presence in the data will, in general, make the effective $C_{93}$ determined in an NNLO analysis mass dependent. We estimate the size of this effect by using strange hadronic $τ$-decay data to perform an alternate $C_{93}$ determination based on the slope of the strange vector polarization at zero momentum, which differs from that of the $I=1$ vector channel only through $SU(3)$ flavor-breaking effects. We also comment on the impact of such higher order effects on ChPT-based estimates for the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

description: «En enero de este año viajé de Monterrey a Reynosa con unos amigos. Llegando a la colonia Vista Hermosa, a un costado de la carretera, estaba la estatua de un gallo. Dijo el lugareño:

–Allá mataron al cantante Valentín Elizalde. La estatua homenajea al “Gallo de Oro”.

Era un gallo de bronce, con una base en forma de jaula –en fotos se percibe otro gallo blanco, chiquito, entre las barras–; parece que tuvo iluminación. Con el palenque de fondo, estaba sin señalizar, ni placas de homenaje; aislada, entre tráileres:

–A veces le traen velas.

Curioso, pero no me cuadraba. Si –se dice– asesinaron al sonorense por denigrar en una canción a un grupo criminal de la región, ¿por qué en un bastión como esta ciudad fronteriza pervive un homenaje?

La historia es menos lineal» 

En esta columna explico que se trata de una estatua itinerante, que representa varios homenajes y genera capas de sentido sobre el orden en la frontera noreste de México.

description: WIDGET is a robotic telescope for monitoring the HETE-2 field-of-view to detect Gamma-ray Burst optical flashes or possible optical precursors. The system has 62degx62deg wide field-of-view which covers about 80% of HETE-2 one with a 2kx2k Apogee U10 CCD camera and a Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 wide-angle lens without a bandpass filter. WIDGET has been in operation since June 2004 at Akeno observing site where is about 200 km apart from Tokyo. Typical limiting magnitude with S/N=3 at the site is V=10mag for 5 seconds exposure and V=11mag for 30 seconds exposure. We had already six coincident observations with HETE-2 position alerts. It was, however, cloudy for all cases due to rainy season in Japan. Expected number of coincident observations under clear sky is about 5 events per year. We will extend the system in early 2005 for Swift era to monitor optical transients in wider field-of-view, multi-color or polarization modes.

description: We have established a GRB follow-up observation system at Kiso observatory (Japan) in 2001. Since the east Asian area had been blank for the GRB follow-up observational network, this observational system is very important in studying the temporal and spectral evolution of early afterglows. Using this system, we have performed quick observations for optical afterglows from early phase based on HETE-2 and INTEGRAL alerts. Thanks to the quick follow-up observation system, we have been able to use the Kiso observatory in 20 events, and conduct their follow-up observations in optical and near infrared wavelengths.

description: We experimentally demonstrate quantum coherent dynamics of a triple-dot-based multi-electron hybrid qubit. Pulsed experiments show that this system can be conveniently initialized, controlled, and measured electrically, and has good coherence time as compared to gate time. Furthermore, the current multi-electron hybrid qubit has an operation frequency that is tunable in a wide range, from 2 to about 15 GHz. We provide qualitative understandings of the experimental observations by mapping it onto a three-electron system, and compare it with the double dot hybrid qubit and the all-exchange triple-dot qubit.
