description: In many tissues, post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR) is a particularly important mechanism for regulating gene expression. Binding of RNA to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is key to controlling mRNA localization, translation and turnover. We have been using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system to study a conserved family of C. elegans cold-shock (Y-box) RNA-binding proteins (CEYs). CEYs are expressed in the germlines but unexpectedly, we identified that C. elegans lacking CEY-2 is sensitive to heat stress, and that the proteins CEY-2 and CEY-3 are localized to some neurons upon exposure to elevated temperatures. This data suggests that the C. elegans Y-box family of proteins have broad functions including during heat stress condition.

 CEYs are also required for the integrity and stability of the P granules. Loss of CEY-2 or CEY-3 results in a significant reduction in progeny number and they function redundantly to reduce brood size and increase embryonic lethality. CEY-3 is predominantly express in the gonads where it localizes to RNA-rich perinuclear cytoplasmic granules (P granules). Moreover, we identified the protein interactors of CEY-3 by mass spectrometry-based immunoprecipitation proteomics. Interestingly two of the interactors, non-muscle myosin-2 (NMY-2) and actin (ACT-2) known as actin cytoskeleton, were found to be required for localization of P granule components including PGL-1, IFET-1, CAR-1, CEY-2 and CEY-3 into oocytes. This suggests that CEY-3 may function as adapter protein to connect between the P granules and NMY-2 for the localization of P granule components to the site of translation.

description: We present theoretical models of a dwarf galaxy that has been hypothesized to be a gravitational lens for the quasi-stellar object (QSO, or quasar) J091949.16+342304.0. This lens system is notable for containing multiple quasar images as well as a faint, but detectable, Einstein ring. The observed images require a gravitational lens with a conservative mass estimate of span class="math-tex">\(\approx 2.5 x 10^{11}M_\bigodot\)/span>, but there is no corresponding detection of a high-mass galaxy, which would normally be expected for such a massive lens. We calculate the dwarf galaxy mass to be span class="math-tex">\(4.2 x 10^9M_\bigodot\)/span>, for a baryonic mass ratio of 1.68%. We begin our report by discussing the underlying principles of gravitational lensing, then apply them to different lens models. We initially consider the lens as a point mass, then as a spherical singular isothermal sphere (SIS), then progress to spherical and elliptical softened SIS models. We also explain the analytical and numerical methods that we developed to compute these models. Using an elliptical softened singular isothermal sphere model, we find a best fit to the data by using a lens with an eccentricity e= 0.22 and an isotropic velocity dispersion of sigma;v = 375 km/s. We also investigate the implications of this model, in particular the lens#39; mass distribution and rotational velocity curves, as well as potential explanations for the occurrence of this unique system./p>

description: The faraday mirror (FM) plays a very important role in maintaining the stability of two way plug-and-play quantum key distribution (QKD) system. However, the practical FM is imperfect, which will not only introduce additional quantum bit error rate (QBER) but also leave a loophole for Eve to spy the secret key. In this paper, we propose a passive faraday mirror attack in two way QKD system based on the imperfection of FM. Our analysis shows that, if the FM is imperfect, the dimension of Hilbert space spanned by the four states sent by Alice is three instead of two. Thus Eve can distinguish these states with a set of POVM operators belonging to three dimension space, which will reduce the QBER induced by her attack. Furthermore, a relationship between the degree of the imperfection of FM and the transmittance of the practical QKD system is obtained. The results show that, the probability that Eve loads her attack successfully depends on the degree of the imperfection of FM rapidly, but the QBER induced by Eve's attack changes with the degree of the imperfection of FM slightly.

description: The M81 group member dwarf galaxy IC 2574 hosts a supergiant shell of current and recent star-formation activity surrounding a 1000 x 500 pc hole in the ambient Hi gas distribution. Chandra X-ray Observatory imaging observations reveal a luminous, L_x ~ 6.5 x 10^{38} erg/s in the 0.3 - 8.0 keV band, point-like source within the hole but offset from its center and fainter diffuse emission extending throughout and beyond the hole. The star formation history at the location of the point source indicates a burst of star formation beginning ~25 Myr ago and currently weakening and there is a young nearby star cluster, at least 5 Myr old, bracketing the likely age of the X-ray source at between 5 and ~25 Myr. The source is thus likely a bright high-mass X-ray binary --- either a neutron star or black hole accreting from an early B star undergoing thermal-timescale mass transfer through Roche lobe overflow. The properties of the residual diffuse X-ray emission are consistent with those expected from hot gas associated with the recent star-formation activity in the region.

description: In response to concerns about long-term declines on local reefs, in 2009, the State of Hawaii established the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area (KHFMA) in Ka'anapali, West Maui. Within the KHFMA, herbivorous fishes and sea urchins are protected, with the goal of restoring natural grazing processes and thereby ultimately increasing the reef's ability to resist and recover from excessive algal growth. Over the first 5 years of closure, parrotfish biomass increased by 138%, and surgeonfish biomass by 42%. Likely as a response to increased herbivory, there has been a concurrent increase in crustose coralline algae (CCA) that is preferred habitat for coral settlement and growth. Following a period of decline, coral cover has stabilized and even slightly increased in recent years. These encouraging early results indicate that a more naturally resilient reef ecosystem is developing at the KHFMA, but sustained protection will be necessary before the full effects of this form of management will be known.

description: We present exact spatio-temporal correlation functions of a Rouse polymer chain submerged in a fluid having planar mixed flow, in the steady state. Using these correlators, determination of the time scale distribution functions associated with the first-passage tumbling events is difficult in general; it was done recently in Phys. Rev. Lett.,101, 188301 (2008), for the special case of "simple shear" flow. We show here that the method used in latter paper fails for the general mixed flow problem. We also give many new estimates of the exponent $θ$ associated with the exponential tail of the angular tumbling time distribution in the case of simple shear

Further, its structural, morphological, and elemental properties were studied. The material was drop cast into a carbon electrode for room temperature CO sensor. ZnO nanoneedle deposition was performed by the spray pyrolysis technique. Various thin film characterizations were done, and an interdigitated ITO electrode was deposited on the film. The device was characterized as a UV sensor. Further, SO2 sensing was done using a fabricated ZnO UV detector. A new approach with the Hexagonal split ring resonator loaded with rGO, gC3N4, and gC3N4/MWCNT nano-hybrid composite was studied for CO gas at room temperature. Further XRD, SEM, and TEM were done for the nanomaterial. The rGO sensor exhibits good sensitivity in terms of frequency for the lower level of CO detection. gC3N4/MWCNT material demonstrated high Q response and good sensitivity for the lower level of CO gas molecules.

description: Tumours are made up of a mixed population of different types of cells that include normal struc- tures as well as ones associated with the malignancy, and there are multiple interactions between the malignant cells and the local microenvironment. These intercellular interactions, modulated by the microenvironment, effect tumour progression and represent a largely under appreciated therapeutic target. We use observations of primary tumor biology from prostate cancer to extrapolate a math- ematical model: specifically; it has been observed that in prostate cancer three disparate cellular outcomes predominate: (i) the tumour remains well differentiated and clinically indolent - in this case the local stromal cells may act to restrain the growth of the cancer; (ii) early in its genesis the tumour acquires a highly malignant phenotype, growing rapidly and displacing the original stromal population (often referred to as small cell prostate cancer) - these less common aggressive tumours are relatively independent of the local microenvironment; and, (iii) the tumour co-opts the local stroma - taking on a classic stromagenic phenotype where interactions with the local microenviron- ment are critical to the cancer growth. We present an evolutionary game theoretical construct that models the influence of tumour-stroma interactions in driving these outcomes. We consider three characteristic and distinct cellular populations: stromal cells, tumour cells that are self-reliant in terms of microenvironmental factors and tumour cells that depend on the environment for resources but can also co-opt stroma. Using evolutionary game theory we explore a number of different sce- narios that elucidate the impact of tumour-stromal interactions on the dynamics of prostate cancer growth and progression and how different treatments in the metastatic setting can affect different types of tumors.

description: Noble metal nanoparticles show specific optical properties due to the excitation of localized surface plasmons that make them attractive candidates for highly sensitive bionanosensors. The underlying physical principle is either an analyte-induced modification of the dielectric properties of the medium surrounding the nanoparticle or an increase of the excitation and emission rates of an optically active analyte by the resonantly enhanced plasmon field. Either way, besides the nanoparticle geometry the dielectric properties of the metal and nanoscale surface roughness play an important role for the sensing performance. As the underlying principles are however not yet well understood, we aim here at an improved understanding by analyzing the optical characteristics of lithographically fabricated nanoparticles with different crystallinity and roughness parameters. We vary these parameters by thermal annealing and apply a thin gold film as a model system to retrieve modifications in the dielectric function. We investigate, on one hand, extinction spectra that reflect the far-field properties of the plasmonic excitation and, on the other hand, surface-enhanced Raman spectra that serve as a near-field probe. Our results provide improved insight into localized surface plasmons and their application in bionanosensing.

We demonstrate that single q-dots can be deposited along an optical nanofiber systematically and reproducibly with a precision of 5 μm. For single q-dots on an optical nanofiber, we measure the fluorescence photon numbers coupled into the nanofiber and the normalized photon correlations, by varying the excitation laser intensity. We estimate the fluorescence photon coupling efficiency into the nanofiber guided modes to be higher than 9.4\pm3%.

description: Vaccines save lives and enable safe reintegration into economic and social activities. The COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative—the vaccine pillar of the COVID Tools Accelerator (ACT)—promotes equal access, allocating and prioritizing COVID-19 vaccination using the WHO-endorsed values framework. This supports the public health objectives and principles behind vaccine prioritization for specific target populations. The framework identifies six guiding principles for vaccine distribution: human well-being, global equity, reciprocity, equal respect, national equity, and legitimacy. However, in spite of these principles, this life-saving vaccine has been distributed unfairly. While more than 63% of people in higher-income brackets are fully vaccinated, only 1.4% of people in lower-income brackets are. For instance, in January 2022, Nigeria—with a population of 200 million—had administered only 18 million doses of vaccine (WHO, Vaccine Equity, n.d.). That's the equivalent of a single dose for less than 10% of the population. Comparatively, the WHO reports that 62.9% of the population in the United States is fully vaccinated. Furthermore, over 79 million booster shots have been administered in the US—four times the overall number of any type of vaccine dose administered in Nigeria. On the basis of the axiom, "no one is secure until everyone is secure," public health experts and global leaders urged that vaccines should be made available fairly and equitably throughout the world, making pleas for a COVID-19 vaccine as a global common good (Yunus, Donaldson, and Perron, 2020).

description: This thesis investigates the factors influencing the grain size of Nickel Oxide (NiO). Like a brick in the wall, grain size is a building unit of many materials - from battery components to salt grains. The grain’s size and shape influence the material’s properties, such as its hardness, energy storage capacity, electrical conductivity, etc. Therefore, this work investigates and analyses the factors influencing the grain size, and proposes methods to control the grain size of NiO. Because NiO is potential candidate for use in energy storage devices, we also study grain size’s impact on energy storage capacity of NiO supercapacitors.

description: A dynamical coupled-channel study of K* K*bar state with isospin 0 and omega phi state is performed within both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving a resonating group method (RGM) equation. The model parameters are taken from our previous work, which gave a satisfactory description of the energies of the octet and decuplet baryon ground states, the binding energy of the deuteron, the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering phase shifts, and the hyperon-nucleon (YN) cross sections. The results show that the interactions of K* K*bar states are attractive, which consequently result in K* K*bar bound states with the binding energies of about 10-70 MeV, and contrarily, no omega phi bound state is obtained. The channel coupling effect of K* K*bar and omega phi is found to be considerably large, which makes the binding of K* K*bar 5-45 MeV deeper. The plausible interpretation of f_0(1710) and X(1812) being K* K*bar dominated states is briefly discussed.

description: Based on single particle tracking in the framework of classical Thomson scattering with incoherent superposition, we developed a fully relativistic, three dimensional numerical code that calculates and quantifies the characteristics of emitted radiation when a relativistic electron beam collides head-on with a focused counter-propagating intense laser field. The developed code has been benchmarked against analytical expressions, based on the plane wave approximation to the laser field, derived in (1). For sufficiently long duration laser pulses, we find that the scattered radiation spectrum is broadened due to interferences arising from the pulsed nature of the laser. We show that by appropriately chirping the scattering laser pulse, the spectral broadening could be minimized.

description: Knowledge of $ν_e$-$\mathrm{Fe}/\mathrm{Pb}$ differential cross sections for $ν_e$ energy below several tens of MeV scale is believed to be crucial in understanding Supernova physics. In a segmented detector at Spallation Neutrino Source, $ν_e$ energy reconstructed from the electron range measurement is strongly affected because of both multiple scattering and electromagnetic showers occurring along the electron passage in target materials. In order to estimate the effect, a simulation study has been performed with a cube block model assuming a perfect tracking precision. The distortion of energy spectrum is observed to be proportional to the atomic number of target material. Feasibility of unfolding the distorted $ν_e$ energy spectrum is studied for both Fe and Pb cases. Evaluation of statistical accuracy attainable is therefore provided for a segmented detector.

description: With the growing number of targeted therapies and immunotherapies approved for the same indication in oncology and the increasing complexity of tumour profiles, molecular screening programs have been more widely implemented in clinical routine. Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs), now implemented in cancer centres worldwide, bring together different specialists in tumour profiling, molecular alterations’ interpretation, and treatment decision-making to facilitate access to matched therapies and refine diagnostics if required.

 

Integrating molecular screening into clinical routine via MTBs utilizes a variety of next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches, tailored to the resources and infrastructures available in different settings. Among these methods, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) stands out for its high-quality data output, making it a valuable tool in many clinical contexts.

Unlike other genomic techniques, WGS data archives offer the unique advantage of serving as a lifelong resource for patients, allowing for repeated reanalysis and reinterpretation throughout their healthcare journey.

 

Deliverable 8.5 aims to provide an overview of the impact of Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) on patients care to date.

description: Three populations of false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) have been identified in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone of the Hawaiian Archipelago (Hawaiian EEZ): 1) a main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) insular population, 2) a pelagic population, and 3) a Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) population. Spatially-explicit stock boundaries are needed to assess and manage each population. New data, primarily satellite telemetry data, were collected that indicate the existing stock boundaries should be refined. These data were used by the False Killer Whale Stock Boundary Revision Working Group to establish revised, scientifically-defensible stock boundaries that appropriately reflect uncertainty and are robust to routine inputs from ongoing data collection. For each stock, several stock boundary options were identified by the Working Group and reviewed by the Pacific Scientific Review Group before the revised stock boundaries were finalized. The MHI insular stock boundary was changed from a uniform 140-km radius around the MHI to a minimum convex polygon bounded around a 72-km radius of the MHI, resulting in a boundary shape that reflects greater offshore use in the leeward portion of the MHI. While the wide-ranging pelagic stock continues to be assessed within the Hawaiian EEZ, the inner stock boundary was reduced from a 40-km to an 11-km radius around the MHI, a result of individuals occurring closer to shore than previously observed. The NWHI stock boundary largely remained the area of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument extended to include a 50-nmi radius around Kauaʻi, although 2 vertices were removed to widen the eastern portion, accounting for movement outside of the existing boundary. The following report summarizes the stock boundary revision process for the 3 false killer populations. Additionally, because the stock boundary placement affects the line-transect abundance estimates of the pelagic and NWHI stocks and the proration of false killer whale bycatch, the report also provides updated abundance estimates for pelagic and NWHI false killer whales and outlines a revised approach for bycatch proration.

description: We present high angular resolution continuum observations of the high-mass protostar NGC 7538S with BIMA and CARMA at 3 and 1.4 mm, VLA observations at 1.3, 2, 3.5 and 6 cm, and archive IRAC observations from the Spitzer Space Observatory, which detect the star at 4.5, 5.8, and 8 $μ$m. The star looks rather unremarkable in the mid-IR. The excellent positional agreement of the IRAC source with the VLA free-free emission, the OH, CH$_3$OH, H$_2$O masers, and the dust continuum confirms that this is the most luminous object in the NGC 7538S core. The continuum emission at millimeter wavelengths is dominated by dust emission from the dense cold cloud core surrounding the protostar. Including all array configurations, the emission is dominated by an elliptical source with a size of ~ 8" x 3". If we filter out the extended emission we find three compact mm-sources inside the elliptical core. The strongest one, $S_A$, coincides with the VLA/IRAC source and resolves into a double source at 1.4 mm, where we have sub-arcsecond resolution. The measured spectral index, $α$, between 3 and 1.4 mm is ~ 2.3, and steeper at longer wavelengths, suggesting a low dust emissivity or that the dust is optically thick. We argue that the dust in these accretion disks is optically thick and estimate a mass of an accretion disk or infalling envelope surrounding S$_A$ to be ~ 60 solar masses.

Description of oceanographic conditions on the northeast U.S. continental shelf during 2014

description: Hydrographic observations from  8 surveys spanning the Northeast US Continental Shelf are combined into a descriptive overview of the broadscale  oceanographic conditions observed during  2014. Temperature and salinity observations are combined into 6 bimonthly time periods to maximize both the spatial coverage of the  data and its temporal resolution during the year. Maps of near-surface and near-bottom  property distributions are presented for each bimonthly period, and time series of regional average properties are discussed for 5 geographic regions spanning the shelf: western Gulf of Maine, eastern Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and northern and southern Middle Atlantic Bight. Overall, 2014 was characterized by continued warming throughout the water column, an increase in the seasonal range of temperature and generally more saline conditions across the region. Deep (slope) waters entering the Gulf of Maine were warmer and saltier than average and their temperature and salinity suggest a subtropical  source.  Mixed layers in the western Gulf of Maine were anomalously deep during the winter of 2014, presumably a consequence of colder than average air temperatures that  persisted over the northeastern United States during winter. The vigorous mixing led to  the formation of a thicker layer of cold intermediate water the following spring. Finally, observations reveal a significant intrusion of Gulf Stream water in the Middle Atlantic Bight during late summer. The intrusion encompassed the width of the shelf, leading to profound changes in the water mass distributions. Such episodic events have the potential to cause significant ch anges in the ecosystem, including changes in nutrient loading on the shelf, the seasonal elimination of critical habitats such as the cold pool and shelf-slope front, disruption of seasonal migration cues, and an increase in the concentration of offshore larval fish on the shelf.

description: This thesis focuses on the atomistic deformation and fracture behavior of Al/Ti Nanolayered Metal Composites (NMCs). The Al/Ti NMCs show high specific strength due to the complex relationship between constituent metals, layer thickness, and type of interface. The microstructural transformations in these Al/Ti multilayers along with the various key dislocation activities during the deformation and fracture of Al/Ti NMCs are identified. Finally, the unit deformation mechanisms and their dependence on the layer thickness and loading direction are explored in detail. The fracture of Al/Ti NMCs is studied for determining crack-interface interaction, critical strain energy release rate, and the relevant dislocation activities.

description: We present measurements of the specific ultraviolet luminosity density from a sample of 483 galaxies at 650%. Combining our observations with constraints on the emission rate of ionizing photons from Ly-alpha forest observations at z=6, we can constrain f_esc<34% (2-sigma) if the observed galaxies are the only contributors to reionization, or <13% (2-sigma) if the luminosity function extends to M_UV = -13. These escape fractions are sufficient to complete reionization by z=6. These constraints imply that the volume ionized fraction of the IGM becomes less than unity at z>7, consistent with a number of complementary reionization probes. If faint galaxies dominate reionization, future JWST observations will probe deep enough to see them, providing an indirect constraint on the ionizing photon escape fraction [abridged].

description: The Jensen's inequality plays a crucial role in the analysis of time-delay and sampled-data systems. Its conservatism is studied through the use of the Grüss Inequality. It has been reported in the literature that fragmentation (or partitioning) schemes allow to empirically improve the results. We prove here that the Jensen's gap can be made arbitrarily small provided that the order of uniform fragmentation is chosen sufficiently large. Non-uniform fragmentation schemes are also shown to speed up the convergence in certain cases. Finally, a family of bounds is characterized and a comparison with other bounds of the literature is provided. It is shown that the other bounds are equivalent to Jensen's and that they exhibit interesting well-posedness and linearity properties which can be exploited to obtain better numerical results.

description: The PhD thesis has dealt with the piezoelectric behaviour of 2D nanomaterials based PVDF nanocomposites. Unmodified and modified 2D nanomaterials (graphene oxide, expanded graphite and hexagonal boron nitride) were incorporated in PVDF matrix and their role in enhancing the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PVDF has been explored. A comprehensive investigation on the influence of processing techniques on the morphology, structure and piezoelectric properties of PVDF based nanocomposites has been carried out. Furthermore, UHMWPE based nanocomposites have been studied for the first time for their ferroelectric and piezoelectric behaviour. A systematic interrelation has been successfully developed between processing, structure and property.
