Semiclassical Propagation of Coherent States and Wave Packets: Hidden Saddles and the Phase of the Complex Prefactor

description: The saddle point method is an important method used in semiclassical approximations involving coherent states and wave packets. A saddle point defines a complex trajectory that satisfies a two-point boundary value problem. The search of saddle points is very challenging when applied to multidimensional systems. Previous advances include finding a set of real boundary conditions by reducing the dimension of the search in real phase space. Each real boundary condition being in the convergence zone of a Newton-Raphson search will lead to a saddle point, and the real trajectories defined by these real boundary conditions are called reference trajectories. The saddle found in this way are called exposed saddles. This thesis broadens the search from exposed saddles to hidden saddles through parameter variations, where hidden saddles are defined as those that can not be found from real boundary conditions directly. The hidden saddles contribute over regions where a wave function decays, in a manner close to tunneling processes. The thesis also discusses a solution to a discrepancy in the phase calculation of the prefactor in the saddle point method. Since the prefactor is the square root of the inverse of a dynamical quantity associated with a complex trajectory, the regular prescription takes the accumulated phase of the dynamical quantity and divides it by half as the phase of the prefactor. This prescription sometimes leads to sign errors due to the fact that the zeros of the dynamical quantity defined on the complex time plane become branch points after the square root operation. Using a complex time path circumventing the zeros in a consistent way can solve this problem. However, for the case of exposed saddles, a more convenient way is to associate the phase to the Maslov index of the real, reference trajectory. The phase of the prefactor associated with a hidden saddle point can be linked to the phase associated with an exposed saddle point by varying the parameters of the trajectories.

description: We study the relaxation of the Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm corresponding to a single particle trapped in a one-dimensional confining potential, with even jump distributions that ensure that the dynamics verifies detailed balance. Previous work suggested that, for smooth jump distributions, the fastest relaxation rate is obtained as a result of the competition between diffusive and rejection-dominated dynamics. In this work, we show that a new regime comes into play for two-peaked jump distributions, where the relaxation dynamics is neither dominated by diffusion nor rejection: the eigenmodes adopt an oscillatory form, reminiscent of charge density waves (CDW) -- thus we term this new regime the CDW regime. Using a combination of numerical and analytical techniques, the parameter regions corresponding to diffusion, rejection, and CDW are characterised, as well as the transition lines between them -- i.e. a phase diagram is built. The optimal relaxation rate is located at the triple point of phase coexistence, where the transition lines (diffusive-rejection, diffusive-CDW, and CDW-rejection) intersect. Our theoretical framework is checked versus the numerical diagonalisation of the master equation. We also briefly discuss more sophisticated attempts at optimising the relaxation rate to equilibrium.

OILSEED ENGINEERING AS A MEANS TO UNDERSTAND FATTY ACID MODIFICATION, LIPID SYNTHESIS, AND REGULATION IN MODEL OILSEED CROPS
Creators: name: Bengtsson, Jesse D
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2021

description: Lipids play an essential role in all forms of life by forming the structural components of cellular membranes. In plants, lipids are energy storage molecules in the seed in addition to the roles they have in signaling, plant defense, wax-ester biosynthesis and membrane formation. Plant seed oil is composed of Triacylglycerol and is used as vegetable oil. This has led to a wide body of work studying fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis and modification. The work present here investigates several aspects of lipid biochemistry starting with the role Phospholipases and Long Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetases (LACS) enzymes in the accumulation of hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs), in the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. A major bottle neck in the production of HFAs has been their accumulation on phosphatidylcholine (PC), the membrane lipid on which they are produced resulting in low HFA accumulation and reduce seed oil. Past work showed that expression of an HFA specific Phospholipase A2α liberates HFAs from PC, but decreases HFA content in the oil, potentially due to deficient LACS enzymes specific to HFAs. I demonstrated that LACS activity towards HFAs is not deficient in these plant lines. Understanding oilseed engineering in Arabidopsis has also led to many advances in modifying fatty acid composition. Reducing saturated fatty acid content of seed oil results in oil with superior qualities for food and fuel. To that end I expressed to ∆9 desaturases in the oil seed crop plant Camelina sativa. Expression of FAT5, a C. elegans palmitoyl-CoA desaturase and a DES9*, an engineered glycerolipid desaturase, significantly reduced the saturated fatty acid content of Camelina seed oil without compromising plant growth and development. Given the importance of lipids to plant biology their biosynthesis is well regulated. I identified a regulator of the first step of lipid synthesis in both leaf and seed tissue, which appears to have an important role in both plant development and the fatty acid proportion of seed oil.

The Economics of Pain
Creators: name: Tibbitts, Joshua
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation consists of two essays focusing on the economics of pain and choice and an essay exploring a gender wage gap among staff employees at WSU. The first essay investigates the relationship between opioid diverting policy and suicides among the veteran population. In 2013, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) implemented the Opioid Safety Initiative (OSI) with the goal of discouraging prescription opioids dispensed to VA patients. Because this involved the aggressive curtailing of opioid prescriptions for many VA patients, OSI may have had a detrimental effect on veterans’ mental health leading to suicide in extreme cases. The result of this study finds that OSI raised the veteran suicide rate relative to the civilian rate with rural veterans suffering the lion’s share of the increase. In particular, OSI raised the rural veteran suicide rate by roughly one-third within the first year of implementation (2013) and by 45 percent by 2016.
description: The second essay is a theoretical investigation of pain and addiction. Pain and addiction are complements. Individuals who suffer from pain, either physical or mental, may use analgesic substances to reduce their pain. If the analgesic has addictive properties, then individuals may become subject to dependence and possibly addiction. This circumstance represents a dilemma for those attempting to cope with their pain: a tradeoff between pain, dependence, and addiction. The model in this paper presents a deterministic rational-choice model in which an agent’s pain evolves intertemporally as a function of intake of an addictive analgesic. Consumption of this analgesic alleviates pain, while contributing to potential addiction; investments towards therapy ameliorates addiction. We find that consumption of therapy is incentivized after an addiction process is triggered, which has important policy implications.
description: The third essay uses a hedonic wage regression to investigate gender salary disparities between male and female staff employees at Washington State University. Estimates in this paper show that there exists a prominent gender wage gap, where women on average earn between 8.1 and 13.7 percent less than their male counterparts. Although female staff earn less than men on average, we find that there is parity in annual salary increases.

description: Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art photon detectors used in particle physics, medical imaging, and beyond. They are sensitive to individual photons in the optical wavelength regime and achieve time resolutions of a few tens of picoseconds, which makes them interesting candidates for timing detectors in tracking systems for particle physics experiments. The Geiger discharges triggered in the sensitive elements of a SiPM, Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs), yield signal amplitudes independent of the energy deposited by a photon or ionizing particle. This intrinsically digital nature of the signal motivates its digitization already on SPAD level.
 A digital SiPM (dSiPM) was designed at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), combining a SPAD array with embedded CMOS circuitry for on-chip signal processing. A key feature of the DESY dSiPM is its capability to provide hit-position information on pixel level, and one hit time stamp per quadrant at a 3 MHz readout-frame rate. The pixels comprise four SPADs and have a pitch of about 70 um. The four time stamps are provided by 12 bit Time-to-Digital Converters (TDCs) with a resolution better than 100 ps.
 The chip was characterized in the laboratory to determine dark count rate, breakdown voltage, and TDC characteristics. Test-beam measurements are analyzed to assess the DESY dSiPMs performance in the context of a 4D-tracking applications. The results demonstrate a spatial hit resolution on a pixel level, a minimum-ionizing particle detection efficiency of about 30 % and a time resolution in the order of 50 ps.

A study on the comparison of treatments with a control for ordinal data using probit regression

Subjects: Categorical Data

description: In this dissertation we investigate the problem of inference based on ordinal regression models, with focus on the Probit model. Ordinal data, which is neither numerical or categorical in the real sense of the word, is often hard to analyse. The problem is exacerbated while comparing parameters of several treatments with an ordinal response. The common ways of dealing with ordinal data inference is using Likert type or CDF models. We discuss the existing literature on these and indicate how hard it is to extend these to situations of autocorrelation, multicollinearity and other practical problems arising in real data.
description: Here, we take a new look at the estimation problem of ordinal data by using a linear approximation of the underlying latent variable of the observed ordinal data. Our approach, a two-step Approximate Latent Linear Model (ALLM), is intuitive and allows for extension into situations where linear models and OLS can be used. The idea of ALLM is based on a weighted linear function and estimation is done using an iterative re-weighted least square approach. We use this approach for all the inference in this dissertation. We look at estimation and analyse a data problem using this method. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we look at bias and MSE of the ALLM and compare it to the CDF based method. We find that ALLM is computationally comparable and is better than the CDF method in terms of bias and MSE. We follow up with testing equality of the parameters of the ordinal regression model using ALLM. The approach is verified by looking at Type I error and power using Monte Carlo simulations. We follow up by proceeding to compare several treatments with a control. To conduct multiple testing, the test statistics are derived. We show that the ALLM based multiple comparison method maintains Type I error well and gives consistent power. Our impression is that as ALLM is a “linear approximation” and we are using weighted least squares, this will allow easier extensions when autocorrelation and multicollinearity issues arise in ordinal data. Future work in this direction is the next step.

description: Background: p53 deletion and mutation as well as upregulation of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) are hallmarks of hepatocarcinogenesis. p63 and p73 belong to the family of p53-related transcription factors expressing a variety of isoforms. The expression of dominant negative (ΔN) p73 is related to the reduced survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we characterized the interaction between p53 family-dependent signaling pathways and the regulation of AFP at the gene and protein levels as essential determinants of therapeutic response and prognosis in HCC.

Methods: Putative p53-, p63- and p73-binding sites within the AFP gene were identified in silico. Hep3B cells were transfected with plasmids encoding for p53, p63 and p73 to analyze the interplay of the p53 family with AFP. AFP transcription was determined by RT-qPCR. Protein levels of AFP, p53, p63 and p73 were analyzed by Western blot.

Results: Underlining the importance of the crosstalk between the p53 family-dependent pathways and AFP regulation we identified eight novel putative binding sites for the members of the p53 family within the introns 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, and 12 of the AFP gene. Accordingly, full-length isoforms of p53, p63 and p73 efficiently downregulated AFP both on mRNA and protein level. Thus, the p53 family members were identified to be major regulators of AFP repression. Of note, p63 was characterized as a novel and p73 as the most efficient repressor of AFP.

Conclusion: p53 mutation and upregulation of AFP are essential oncogenic events in the development of HCC. Here we show that AFP gene regulation occurs via a combined action of the p53 family members p53, p63 and p73. All three tumor suppressors reduce AFP gene and protein expression. Thus, our findings reveal a novel interaction of p53 family-dependent signaling pathways and AFP regulation at the gene and protein levels in HCC.

description: Context: Blockchain-based Information Ecosystems (BBIEs) are a type of information ecosystem in which blockchain technology is used to provide a trust mechanism among parties and to manage shared business logic, breaking the traditional scheme of Information Ecosystems dominated by a leading company and leveraging the decentralization of data management, information flow, and business logic. Objective: In this paper, we propose architecture and technical aspects concerning the creation of a BBIE, underlining the advantages supplied and the logic decomposition among the business and storage components. Method: The requirements are derived from the current needs of the collaborative business and the data collected by surveying practitioners. To get these needs we followed the Grounded Theory research approach. We validate our architectural schema against a case study dealing with the management of a wine supply chain, also involving different companies and supervision authorities. Results: The proposed solution integrates blockchain-based applications with the existing information system as a module of the ecosystem, leveraging on the low costs, scalability, and high-level security because of the restricted access to the network. Conclusion: We must go a long way in deepening and refining the possibilities offered by technology in supporting innovative multi-organizational business models. BBIEs can contribute substantially to paving the way in such a direction.

In Search of Empathetic Judges: The Role of Gendered, Raced, and Positional Experience in Forming the Judicial Role

description: Politicians and jurists routinely discuss the qualities they would like to see in judges, but few qualities have drawn as much recent debate as that of empathy. In particular, a debate has emerged between politicians and jurists on the right, who argue a good judge is like an umpire who calls balls and strikes, while politicians and jurists on the left have increasingly emphasized the importance of empathy, compassion, and the lived experiences of judges. Political science research has largely left the discussion of empathy in the judicial role to legal scholars, psychologists, and others since the 1980s, preferring instead to study how demographic and identity differences shape judicial decision making. Through the use of in-depth, semi-structured interviews, I investigate how judges of various gender, racial, ethnic, and positional backgrounds conceptualize what it means to be a “good judge” and what role they believe empathy plays in the work they do. I find that while judges generally value empathy in the work they do, judges’ gendered experiences, racial and ethnic experiences, and positions within the judicial hierarchy lead them to differing conceptualizations of “the good judge” and express empathy in different ways in their work. I argue these different lived experiences lead judges to express “different voices” in their conceptualizations of the judicial role.

Tityus cylindricus

description: Tityus cylindricus (Karsch, 1879), species revalidated
Isometrus cylindricus Karsch, 1879: 114 –115. Holotype ♂ from Bahia, Brazil (ZMB 105, examined). Tityus cylindricus: Kraepelin, 1899; Fet et al, 2000: 262.
Comments. According to Fet et al. (2000) “In his original description”, Karsch (1879: 115) indicated that Isometrus cylindricus was perhaps the male of Isometrus stigmurus Thorell, 1876. Kraepelin, in 1891, listed it as a questionable synonym of Tityus bahiensis, but in 1899 reverted to listing it as a questionable synonym of Tityus stigmurus ” (Fet et al, 2000). The type specimen (Fig. 23 A–B) is in poor condition, probably due to the initial preservation in a dry collection. This species is not a synonym of T. stigmurus and does not belong to the T. stigmurus complex. It has blackish coloration, absence of posterior spinoid granules on the dorsal carinae of metasomal segments II–IV (Fig. 23 D–E), metasomal segments and telson very slender and rhomboid shape of subaculear granule (Fig. 23 D–E), whereas in species of the T. stigmurus complex the metasomal segments are stouter and the subaculear granule is spiniform. The type locality is uncertain, it is stated as “Bahia” in Brazil, without concise location data. T. cylindricus it is associated with he subgenus Atreus (Lourenço, 2006), by having blackish coloration, metasomal segments and telson very slender (Fig. 23 D–E) and rhomboid shape of subaculear granule. More details will be given in a future work which will encompass the species of the subgenus Atreus.

description: Responding to the dearth of research that attends to the experiences of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in writing centers, my dissertation discusses the particular brand of racism that such populations may encounter in these academic spaces. Utilizing counterstory to center discussions of race, particularly as they concern AAPI, I call greater attention to the traumatic racial experiences that accompany such identities. In undertaking this work, I advance three main claims. First, I argue for the necessity of interrogating race outside the black and white binary that dominates writing center scholarship; second, I contend that the model minority myth and foreigner racialization play out in writing center spaces in unique ways that warrant attention; finally, I suggest that counterstories can be used as anti-oppressive tools in writing centers to centralize discussions of race and challenge monolingual “standards” of English.
[C+NC+CC] REACTION-ENABLED CONSTRUCTION OF A PYRROLIDINE FRAGMENT LIBRARY AND ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF THE CORE ERGOT SUBUNIT, LYSERGIC ACID
Creators: name: Rathnayake, Upendra Amal
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2021

description: The pyrrolidine ring is an important structural motif found in bioactive molecules, natural products, and drugs. Consequently, the asymmetric synthesis of pyrrolidine-containing targets has been the focus of intense research. However, current pyrrolidine synthesis strategies have been largely limited to stable imine precursors derived from non-enolizable (usually aromatic) aldehydes. To address these limitations Garner’s lab introduced the asymmetric [C+NC+CC] coupling reaction which assembles highly functionalized pyrrolidines in a controlled and predictable fashion. Generally, any type of aldehyde, enolizable, non-enolizable, alkyl, or aromatic, can be introduced to the reaction as the “C” component. Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) is a frontline technique established to find high-quality small molecule leads and drug candidates. Pyrrolidine is one of the highly focused scaffolds in FBDD and appropriately substituted and functionalized pyrrolidines provide good coverage of functional vector space for fragment optimization. In a collaborative effort with AbbVie Inc., I was able to synthesize a homochiral 5-heteroaromatic-substituted pyrrolidine fragment drug library using the asymmetric [C+NC+CC] coupling reaction. From the standing point of physicochemical properties, the synthesized library fits at the upper acceptable range for fragments, and from the 3D profile calculated using shape-based descriptors (normalized principal moments of inertia and plane of best fit) they were found to sit well within 3D space proving the versatility of our chemistry in fragment synthesis.
description: Lysergic acid is a pharmacologically important and structurally intriguing molecule obtained by the hydrolysis of ergot alkaloids. Lysergic acid processes a unique tetracyclic ergoline skeleton containing a tetrahydropyridine and a [C, D]-fused indole, an interesting but rather challenging target for synthetic chemists. Herein, utilizing the [C+NC+CC] coupling reaction we were able to complete the total formal synthesis of (+)-lysergic acid in 20 steps starting from commercially available 4-bromoindole. During the quest we were able to directly construct the C and the (pre) D rings, stereoselectively in a single operation. This challenging synthesis featured the first example of the intermolecular asymmetric [C+NC+CC] coupling reaction and a novel application of the Cossy-Charette ring expansion.

Paratypes: 1 male, 2 females; collected together with the holotype.
Diagnosis: The new species is characterized by the peculiar shape of its carapace and highly modified palpal tibia in the male, as well as by the rounded dorsal plate of the epigyne in the female.
Etymology: The specific epithet is a noun in apposition, referring to the long-nosed Russian fairy-tale character “Buratino”.
Description: Male (paratype). Large-sized Erigoninae, total length 3.13, habitus as shown in Fig. 1. Carapace modified (Figs 2-3), 1.65 long, 1.00 wide, reddish brown, with a pale, globular elevation in the middle. Anterior part of carapace protruded forwards, bearing anterior median eyes. Sulci situated at base of central globular outgrowth. Chelicerae 0.63 long, mastidion absent, anterior margin of fang groove with 5 strong teeth. Legs pale reddish brown. Leg I 6.93 long (1.95+0.35+1.78+1.55+1.30), leg IV 5.78 long (1.80+0.28+1.45+1.38+0.87). Chaetotaxy 2.2.1.1, length of spines about 2 diameters of segment. TmI 0.40. All metatarsi with trichobothrium. Palp (Figs 11-15): Tibia massive, highly modified. Proximal part of paracymbium narrow, middle part with a large rounded outgrowth, distal part hook-shaped. Suprategular apophysis complex, with several outgrowths. Column relatively large, looking like a spongy membraneous tissue. Median membrane narrow, protruded forwards. Radix very small, embolus thin, long, making two loops. Abdomen 1.50 long, 1.00 wide, dorsally pale, with several dark spots as shown in Fig. 1.
Female. Total length 2.75, habitus as shown in Fig. 4. Carapace 1.33 long, 1.00 wide, unmodified, reddish brown, with a pale spot in the middle. Chelicerae 0.63 long, anterior margin of fang groove with 5 strong teeth. Legs reddish brown. Leg I 6.34 long (1.68+0.38+1.65+1.53+1.10), leg IV 5.18 long (1.50+0.33+1.35+1.30+0.70). Chaetotaxy as in male. TmI 0.44. Abdomen 1.50 long, 1.05 wide, dorsal pattern as shown in Fig. 4. Epigyne (Figs 5-8, 16-18) prominent, aperture lacking, dorsal plate rounded, receptacles elongated.
Taxonomic remarks: The new species seems to be most similar to D. complexipalpis Millidge & Russell- Smith, 1992, known from males, but clearly differs by the shape of its carapace, by the arrangement of apophyses on the palpal tibia, as well as by the shape of the distal suprategular apophysis.
Distribution: Known only from the type locality on Sumatra Island, Indonesia.

Spontaneous superradiant photon current

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: This work reports the spontaneous emergence of a photon current in a class of spin-cavity systems, where an assemble of quantum emitters interact with distinct photon modes confined in tunneling-coupled cavities. Specifically, with necessary symmetry breaking, photons in a superradiant phase afforded by coherent photon-emitter interaction spontaneously flow from a cavity with a lower resonance frequency to a different cavity with a higher resonance frequency. Theoretical analysis reveals that cavity dissipation is the key to alter spin-cavity coherence, which then makes it possible to extract photons from, and later return photons to the vaccum through the cavities. The interplay between photon loss and emitter coherence hence sustains a counter-intuitive steady current of photons between cavities without an external pumping field.

Creators: name: 1Mbonigaba Celestin, 2Lemlem Desta, 3Kiuri Daniel & 4Rachid Boudlal
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: This study evaluates the effectiveness of government policies in optimizing Rwanda's construction supply chain between 2010 and 2014. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining statistical analyses of policy impacts with qualitative insights from key stakeholders. Key findings revealed significant improvements in supply chain efficiency, including reduced material procurement lead times (from 12 to 8 weeks, p<0.01) and increased local material usage (40% to 70%, χ2=25.34,p<0.01). Additionally, Public-Private Partnerships showed a strong correlation with increased foreign direct investment (FDI), rising from $25 million to $50 million (R2=0.89,p<0.01). Despite progress, challenges such as reliance on imported materials persist. The study recommends enhancing local production, strengthening policy implementation, and promoting sustainable practices to ensure long-term efficiency and resilience in the sector.
