description: Background: Increasing the complexity of in vitro systems to mimic three- dimensional tissues and the cellular interactions within them will increase the reliability of data that were previously collected with in vitro systems. In vivo vascularization is based on complex and clearly defined cell–matrix and cell–cell interactions, where the extracellular matrix (ECM) seems to play a very important role. The aim of this study was to monitor and visualize the subcellular and molecular interactions between endothelial cells (ECs), fibroblasts, and their surrounding microenvironment during vascular morphogenesis in a three-dimensional coculture model. Methods: Quantitative and qualitative analyses during the generation of a coculture tissue construct consisting of endothelial cells and fibroblasts were done using transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Results: Dynamic interactions were found in cocultures between ECs, between fibroblasts (FBs), between ECs and FBs, and between the cells and the ECM. Microvesicles were involved in intercellular information transfer. FBs took an active and physical part in the angiogenesis process. The ECM deposited by the cells triggered endothelial angiogenic activity. Capillary-like tubular structures developed and matured. Moreover, some ECM assembled into a basement membrane (BM) having three different layers equivalent to those seen in vivo. Finally, the three- dimensional in vitro construct mirrored the topography of histological tissue sections. Conclusion: Our results visualize the importance of the physical contact between all cellular and acellular components of the cocultures. View Full-Text

title: The Semantics of Utterance Particles in Informal Hong Kong Cantonese (Natural Semantic Metalanguage Approach)

Subjects: subject: Hong Kong cantonese
subject: Semantic metalanguage

subject: Cantonese particles
subject: Mandarin particles

description: This study identifies the semantic invariants of some commonly-used Cantonese utterance particles in Hong Kong Cantonese. The particles are a distinctive and ubiquitous feature of informal, everyday Cantonese, occurring every 1.5 seconds on average (Luke 1990, 11). The particles are necessary for expressing speakers’ transitory attitudes, assumptions, or feelings connected with an utterance. Although they are not grammatically obligatory, conversation sounds unnatural when they are omitted. There are approximately 30 ‘basic’ particles, which can combine with each other to form ‘clusters’, resulting in roughly 100 variations. This number easily surpasses that of comparable particles in Mandarin, and is matched by very few, if any, other languages. Semantic analysis of Cantonese utterance particles is challenging because their meanings are extremely elusive, even to native speakers. The range of use of each particle is so varied and wide- ranging that some Cantonese speakers and scholars have concluded that the particles have no stable semantic content. Prior research on the particles has produced contradictory, vague, obscure or inaccurate descriptions.

description: We present a novel discontinuous Galerkin algorithm for the solution of a class of Fokker-Planck collision operators. These operators arise in many fields of physics, and our particular application is for kinetic plasma simulations. In particular, we focus on an operator often known as the `Lenard-Bernstein,' or `Dougherty,' operator. Several novel algorithmic innovations are reported. The concept of weak-equality is introduced and used to define weak-operators to compute primitive moments needed in the updates. Weak-equality is also used to determine a reconstruction procedure that allows an efficient and accurate discretization of the diffusion term. We show that when two integration by parts are used to construct the discrete weak-form, and finite velocity-space extents are accounted for, a scheme that conserves density, momentum and energy exactly is obtained. One novel feature is that the requirements of momentum and energy conservation lead to unique formulas to compute primitive moments. Careful definition of discretized moments also ensure that energy is conserved in the piecewise linear case, even though the $v^2$ term is not included in the basis-set used in the discretization. A series of benchmark problems are presented and show that the scheme conserves momentum and energy to machine precision. Empirical evidence also indicates that entropy is a non-decreasing function. The collision terms are combined with the Vlasov equation to study collisional Landau damping and plasma heating via magnetic pumping. We conclude with an outline of future work, in particular with some indications of how the algorithms presented here can be extended to use the Rosenbluth potentials to compute the drag and diffusion coefficients.

description: Within the space of a few decades, young people's understandings and experiences of nature have changed radically. Today, many young people are aware of the global threats to the environment - but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature, is diminishing, leading it is argued to a "nature deficit disorder". In order to minimise the risk of nature deficit disorder, this study seeks to understand how behaviour change models, innovative environmental education approaches, and an ethic of care may influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours. The main research question is: What are the factors that influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours in Indonesia? This question is addressed through three sub-research questions: 1) What can we learn from behaviour change models about young people's environmentally caring behaviours?, 2) How do environmental education approaches influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours?, and 3) What added value do ethic of care principles bring to better understanding young people's environmentally caring behaviour?

description: We define the quantization structures for Poisson algebras necessary to generalise Groenewold and Van Hove's result that there is no consistent quantization for the Poisson algebra of Euclidean phase space. Recently a similar obstruction was obtained for the sphere, though surprising enough there is no obstruction to the quantization of the torus. In this paper we want to analyze the circumstances under which such obstructions appear. In this context we review the known results for the Poisson algebras of Euclidean space, the sphere and the torus.

Generalized Sampling on Graphs With Subspace and Smoothness Priors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019

description: We propose a framework for generalized sampling of graph signals that parallels sampling in shift-invariant (SI) subspaces. This framework allows for arbitrary input signals, which are not constrained to be bandlimited. Furthermore, the sampling and reconstruction filters may be different. We present design methods of the correction filter that compensate for these differences and lead to closed form expressions in the graph frequency domain. In this study, we consider two priors on graph signals: The first is a subspace prior, where the signal is assumed to lie in a periodic graph spectrum (PGS) subspace. The PGS subspace is proposed as a counterpart of the SI subspace used in standard sampling theory. The second is a smoothness prior that imposes a smoothness requirement on the graph signal. We suggest the use of recovery techniques for when the recovery filter can be optimized and under a setting in which a predefined filter must be used. Sampling is performed in the graph frequency domain, which is a counterpart of "sampling by modulation" used in SI subspaces. We compare our approach with existing sampling techniques on graph signal processing. The effectiveness of the proposed generalized sampling approach is validated numerically through several experiments.

 Espèce très largement répandue en Afrique du sud du Sahara et assez variable puisque cinq sous-espèces ont été distinguées, dont trois signalées d’Afrique occidentale, mais aucune encore du Nimba. Cependant la signalisation par Chopard (1958: 133) d’un mâle de Yalanzou comme Nomadacris septemfasciata devrait correspondre en fait à cette espèce: d’une part N. septemfasciata vit ordinairement dans des zones différentes et c’est d’ailleurs à ma connaissance la seule citation de Guinée, d’autre part le spécimen correspondant est resté introuvable tandis qu’une femelle de Yalanzou (II-VI.1942, M. Lamotte, mêmes conditions de capture que le mâle supposé), qui logiquement aurait dû faire partie du lot examiné à l’époque par Chopard, se rapporte à C. aeruginosa flavescens.
En dehors de cette femelle de Yalanzou, à signaler 1 femelle de Ziéla (1946), 1 mâle du Nimba N. E. (forêt, 500-700 m, 1-20.IX.1946), 2 femelles du camp du Yâ (IX-XI.1951), 3 femelles de Gopoupleu (XII.1958 - I.1959) et 1 femelle aux abords d’un marais des environs de Gbakoré (5.III.1981).

Which blazars are neutrino loud?

description: Protons accelerated in the cores of active galactic nuclei can effectively produce neutrinos only if the soft radiation background in the core is sufficiently high. We find restrictions on the spectral properties and luminosity of blazars under which they can be strong neutrino sources. We analyze the possibility that neutrino flux is highly beamed along the rotation axis of the central black hole. The enhancement of neutrino flux compared to GeV gamma-ray flux from a given source makes the detection of neutrino point sources more probable. At the same time the smaller open angle reduces the number of possible neutrino-loud blazars compared to the number of gamma-ray loud ones. We present the table of 15 blazars which are the most likely candidates for the detection by future neutrino telescopes.

description: Proportional reasoning refers not only to the ability to manipulate the proportions, but also to detect, express, analyze, explain, and provide evidence in support of assertions about proportional relationships. Students’ understanding of the proportional relationships that they encounter in science can be improved through well-designed instruction. In other words, teacher practice is key to the successful learning of both proportional reasoning and science. Stoichiometry is a basic topic in chemistry that focuses on the proportional relationship between the amount of reactants and/or that of products in a chemical reaction. This study explored 10 chemistry teachers’ knowledge and beliefs on integrating proportional reasoning in teaching stoichiometry mainly through interview, survey, and lesson materials. The framework of pedagogical content knowledge was used to examine key dimensions of teacher knowledge that were triggered as they teach stoichiometry. Moreover, teachers’ problem-solving strategies were sorted by using the proportional reasoning strategies framework. Three representative case studies allowed a deep analysis and the relation of each component of pedagogical content knowledge with implications for teacher education and professional development design.

description: In their paper in Optica 6, 104 (2019), Mann et al. claim that linear, time-invariant nonreciprocal structures cannot overcome the time-bandwidth limit, and do not exhibit an advantage over their reciprocal counterparts, specifically with regard to their time-bandwidth performance. In this Comment [Optica 7(9), 1097-1101 (2020)], we argue that these conclusions are unfounded. On the basis of, both, rigorous full-wave simulations and insightful physical justifications, we explain that the temporal coupled-mode theory, on which Mann et al. base their main conclusions, is not suited for the study of nonreciprocal trapped states, and instead direct numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations are required. Based on such an analysis, we show that a nonreciprocal terminated waveguide, resulting in a trapped state, clearly outperforms its reciprocal counterpart, i.e. both the extraordinary time-bandwidth performance and the large field enhancements observed in such modes are a direct consequence of nonreciprocity. Additionally, herein, on the arXiv, we provide further results and explanations on the key points made in the main Comment, as well as further elucidating comments on the Reply to the Comment.

description: To disentangle the role of shell effects and dynamics, fission fragment mass distributions of $^{191}$Au, a nucleus in the newly identified island of mass asymmetric fission in the sub-lead region, have been measured down to excitation energy of $\approx$20 MeV above the fission barrier via two different entrance channels, viz. $^{16}$O+$^{175}$Lu and $^{37}$Cl+$^{154}$Sm reactions. Apart from having signature of the shell effects in both the cases, clear experimental evidence of quasifission has been observed in the mass distributions of the Cl induced reaction, that has also been substantiated by the theoretical calculations. This crucial evidence along with a systematic analysis of available experimental data has revealed that the dynamics in the entrance channel has significant influence on most of the reactions used earlier to explore the persistence of recently discovered mass asymmetry in $β$-delayed fission at low energy in this mass region, ignoring which might lead to ambiguity in interpreting the heavy-ion data.

description: If the expectation value of the right-handed (rhd) sneutrino comes to dominate the universe, its decay naturally leads to successful leptogenesis, as well as significant dilution of dangerous inflationary relics, such as the gravitino. The resulting baryon asymmetry is independent of other cosmological initial conditions. This attractive variant of leptogenesis requires at least one of the rhd neutrinos to have small Yukawa coupling and to have mass ~ 10^6 GeV, much smaller than the grand unified (GUT) scale. We show that these features naturally arise in the context of independently motivated and successful 5d orbifold GUTs with inverse-GUT-scale-sized extra dimensions. Rhd neutrinos are realized as bulk fields N_i with 5d bulk masses, while Yukawa couplings and lepton-number-violating masses for the N_i are localized at the SM boundary. The exponential suppression of the would-be N_i zero-modes leads to the desired small 4d Yukawa couplings and small masses for the rhd neutrino states. The see-saw prediction for the lhd neutrino mass scale is automatically maintained. We show that this realization of rhd neutrinos is nicely accommodated within an attractive orbifold-GUT flavour model, where all flavour hierarchies have a geometrical origin.

Chemical Vapor Deposition Grown Pristine and Chemically Doped Monolayer Graphene

description: Chemical vapor deposition growth has been a popular technique to produce large-area, high-quality monolayer graphene on Cu substrates ever since its first demonstration in 2009. Pristine graphene grown in such a way owns the natures of zero charge carriers and zero band gap. As an analogy to semi-conductor studies, substitutional doping with foreign atoms is a powerful way to tailor the electronic properties of this host materials. Within such a context, this thesis focuses on growing and characterizing both pristine and chemically-doped CVD grown monolayer graphene films at microscopic scales. We first synthesized pristine graphene on Cu single crystals in ultra-high-vacuum and subsequently characterized their properties by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), to learn the effects of Cu substrate crystallinity on the quality of graphene growth and understand the interactions between graphene films and Cu substrates. In the subsequent chapters, we chemically doped graphene with nitrogen (N) and boron (B) atoms, and characterized their topographic and electronic structures via STM/S. We found that both N and B dopants substitionally dope graphene films, and contribute electron and hole carriers, respectively, into graphene at a rate of approximately 0.5 carrier/dopant. Apart from this, we have made comparisons between N- and B-doped graphene films in aspects of topographic features, dopant distribution and electronic perturbations. In the last part of this thesis, we used Raman spectroscopy mapping to investigate the N dopant distribution within and across structural grains. Future experiments are also brief discussed at the end of the thesis.

subject: Stanislavsky’s ‘System'

description: When screenwriter and doctoral candidate, Anthony Mullins, first started studying Konstantin Stanislavsky’s ‘system’ of performance and script analysis, he hoped the well-known acting technique would be a useful tool for screenwriters. Mullins assumed that because Stanislavsky’s technique analysed all the characters of a story (not just the protagonist) it would naturally be a more detailed approach than conventional techniques like the ‘three-act structure’. It also appeared that Stanislavsky’s ‘system’ had the added advantage of being familiar to actors, the very people who would eventually bring the screenplay to life. However, as Mullins began adapting Stanislavsky’s techniques to his screenwriting process he found it was instead counter-productive, particularly in how it mirrored many of the prescriptive limitations of the ‘three-act structure’. Further research of Stanislavsky’s late-career techniques revealed his wariness of “over-analysis” and the embrace of more intuitive and little-known improvisational techniques, referred to by Stanislavsky as ‘active analysis’. The research centres on the creation of three original TV drama pilot scripts and the Stanislavsky-influenced techniques Mullins used to create the screenplays.

description: TV series such as HBO's Game of Thrones have seen a high number of dedicated followers, mostly due to the dramatic murders of the most important characters. In our work, we try to predict killer and victim pairs using data about previous kills and additional metadata. We construct a network where two character nodes are linked if one killed the other and use a link prediction framework to evaluate different techniques for kill predictions. Lastly, we compute various network properties on a social network of characters and use them as features in conjunction with classic data mining techniques. Due to the small size of the dataset and the somewhat random kill distribution, we cannot predict much with standard indices alone, although using them in conjunction with additional rules based on degrees works surprisingly well. The features we compute on the social network help the classic machine learning approaches, but do not yield very accurate predictions. The best results overall are achieved using indices that use simple degree information, the best of which gives us the Area Under the ROC Curve of 0.875.

description: A delayed feedback reservoir (DFR) is a reservoir computing system well-suited for hardware implementations. However, achieving high accuracy in DFRs depends heavily on selecting appropriate hyperparameters. Conventionally, due to the presence of a non-linear circuit block in the DFR, the grid search has only been the preferred method, which is computationally intensive and time-consuming and thus performed offline. This paper presents a fast and accurate parameter optimization method for DFRs. To this end, we leverage the well-known backpropagation and gradient descent framework with the state-of-the-art DFR model for the first time to facilitate parameter optimization. We further propose a truncated backpropagation strategy applicable to the recursive dot-product reservoir representation to achieve the highest accuracy with reduced memory usage. With the proposed lightweight implementation, the computation time has been significantly reduced by up to 1/700 of the grid search.

description: Portions of Chicago’s lakefront have been reserved as public open space since the early nineteenth century.  Daniel Burnham, in his seminal 1909 Plan of Chicago, envisioned a lakefront park system that would encircle the city. He put great emphasis on the lakefront, stating that it should serve as a respite for the city’s hard working citizens. Over the years Chicago’s city officials and planners have taken the idea of a lakefront park system very seriously, and today twenty-six out of the city’s thirty miles of lakefront are public open space. However, since the creation of the first lakefront park in 1836 there has been substantial development adjacent to the lakefront: Lake Shore Drive has gone from a small pedestrian right-of-way to a multi-lane freeway, the city has created substantial public transit infrastructure, the population of Chicago has grown exponentially, and the built environment has changed dramatically. Chicago prides itself on its lakefront park system, but this thesis argues that the lakefront has not been treated as the crown jewel the city believes it is. This thesis examines current lakefront park usage and perceptions through existing spatial data, observational surveys and photographs, online survey responses, interviews with Park District officials, and three case studies.

description: When the impurity mean free path is short, only spin-polarized Cooper pairs which are non-locally and antisymmetrically correlated in time may exist in a half-metallic ferromagnet. As a consequence, the half-metal acts as an odd-frequency superconducting condensate. We demonstrate both analytically and numerically that quantum vortices can emerge in half-metals despite the complete absence of conventional superconducting correlations. Because these metals are conducting in only one spin band, we show that a circulating spin supercurrent accompanies these vortices. Moreover, we demonstrate that magnetic disorder at the interfaces with the superconductor influences the position at which the vortices nucleate. This insight can be used to help determine the effective interfacial misalignment angles for the magnetization in hybrid structures, since the vortex position is experimentally observable via STM-measurements. We also give a brief discussion regarding which superconducting order parameter to use for odd-frequency triplet Cooper pairs in the quasiclassical theory.

The Triumph of Mordecai at The National Gallery of Canada: New Findings on Botticelli's Role and Direct Involvement in Extraordinary Collaboration with Filippino "The Triumph of Mordecai" at The National Gallery of Canada: New Findings on Botticelli's Role and Direct Involvement in Extraordinary Collaboration with Filippino Lippi in the c. 1475 Cycle Depicting the Story of Ester
Creators: name: Markevicius, Tomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Around 1475, one of the most significant Renaissance nuptial chamber cycles depicting the Story of Esther was executed by Sandro Botticelli with the help of his young apprentice and collaborator, Filippino Lippi. The six panels, now distributed between Canada, France, and Italy, originally decorated a pair of now dismembered cassoni or marriage chests. The authorship of the cycle has been the subject of hot debate since the late 19th century and continues today. Evidence from technical examination was not explored systematically in the past and was not considered in the attribution debate. The new findings obtained during the first comprehensive technical study shed new light on the attribution and on early Botticelli studio practices. They highlight the role of multidisciplinary studies, introducing a further perspective to our appreciation and adding a critical dimension to the Virtù d’Amore: Nuptial Paintings in the 15th Century Florence exhibition at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence, where most of the renowned cycle was reunited for the first time in more than 200 years.

description: We compute the axial vector current, form factor, and coupling for quarks in the instanton liquid model with two light flavors. Non-local current corrections are derived, as required by the effective 't Hooft interaction. We obtain a pion-mediated axial form factor and an axial coupling which, when simply applied in the non-relativistic limit for constituent quarks, matches the experimental value to within a few percent, both in and out of the chiral limit.

Goldstone Boson Normal Coordinates in Interacting Bose Gases

description: For the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation we construct the canonical pair of field operators of the Goldstone Bosons explicitly as fluctuation operators in the ground state. We consider the imperfect Bose gas as well as the weakly interacting Bose gas. We prove that a canonical pair of fluctuation operators is always related to the order parameter and the generator of the broken symmetry fluctuations. We find that although the first one has an anomalous behaviour, the second one is squeezed by the same inverse rate. Furthermore, we prove that this canonical pair separates from the other variables of the system and that it behaves dynamically as oscillator variables. Finally the long wavelength behaviour of the spectrum determines the lifetime of this pair.

subject: Social Mobility
subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: Most of the existing social science literature understands inequality and stratifi cation primarily as processes that occur within national boundaries. Such a focus has produced a number of infl uential overarching narratives. One such narrative is that people’s relative well-being is shaped most fundamentally by the capacity of homegrown institutions to promote economic growth and/or equity. Another, that people over time have become more stratifi ed by their relative achievement and effort rather than by the characteristics with which they are born. A third one, a corollary of the other two, is that contemporary upward social mobility is fundamentally the outcome of the adoption of better domestic institutions by countries, and/or the acquisition of greater human capital by individuals. In our recent book, Unveiling Inequality (Korzeniewicz/Moran 2009), we argue that looking at the unfolding of social inequality, stratifi cation and mobility in the world as a whole over a long period of time –in other words, from a world-historical perspective – calls these narratives into question.

Chemotherapy for Cancer and the Aging Brain: Blessing or Burden?

subject: Cancer--Chemotherapy
subject: Epidemiology

description: Purpose: The proportion of the United States population in older adulthood is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes an increase in diseases such as cancer. As rates of illness increase, there is a concomitant increase in cognitive and psychological correlates of illnesses like cancer. There is evidence that some cancer treatments, particularly chemotherapy, affect cognition for cancer patients, although these results are inconsistent. Additionally, depression, and other health factors such as activities of daily living (ADLs) have been found to relate to cognitive impairment among older adults with cancer. Method: The current study used latent class growth analysis (LCGA) to explore longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study. The primary goal was to investigate possible trajectories of cognitive functioning in older adults diagnosed with, and surviving cancer. Possible psychological, health, and demographic predictors of membership in these cognitive trajectories were investigated. Results: Findings indicated that three classes of cognitive functioning best fit the data: these were High Recall, Middle Recall and Low Recall Classes, which represented fairly stable trajectories from pre-diagnosis to a period four years later. Various covariates of class membership were included in the analyses. Treatment with chemotherapy significantly predicted membership in the High Recall Class, however this finding is accounted for by an interaction with younger age. More symptoms of depression after diagnosis (but not prior to diagnosis) were significantly predictive of membership in the Low Recall Class. A higher self-reported probability of living to the age of 85 pre-diagnosis predicted membership in the High Recall Class, and greater difficulty with ADLs post-diagnosis predicted membership in the Low Recall Class. Finally, individuals in the High Recall Class were significantly more likely to be younger, female, and more highly educated, when compared to both the Middle and Low Recall Classes. Limitations: The current study is limited by the wide spacing of data collection and dearth of sensitive and varied measures of cognitive functioning, which in turn limits the generalizability and specificity of the findings. Additionally, a lack of data on cancer type, staging and treatment variables make more nuanced analysis difficult. It is not possible to generalize these findings to individuals who passed away within two years of their diagnosis, not to individuals of minority status, who were underrepresented in this sample. Conclusions: These results may inform the understanding of cognitive functioning in older adults surviving cancer, as it relates to psychological, demographic and other health factors, with implications for timing and targeting of interventions.
