description: The masses of ten proton-rich nuclides, including the N=Z+1 nuclides 85-Mo and 87-Tc, were measured with the Penning trap mass spectrometer SHIPTRAP. Compared to the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2003 a systematic shift of the mass surface by up to 1.6 MeV is observed causing significant abundance changes of the ashes of astrophysical X-ray bursts. Surprisingly low alpha-separation energies for neutron-deficient Mo and Tc are found, making the formation of a ZrNb cycle in the rp process possible. Such a cycle would impose an upper temperature limit for the synthesis of elements beyond Nb in the rp process.

Phylogenomics and comparative plastome analysis of mycoheterotrophic plants
Creators: name: Lam, Vivienne Ka Yee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Plastid genomes (plastomes) of fully mycoheterotrophic plants (which obtain nutrition from fungi and have lost photosynthesis) may exhibit accelerated substitution rates, gene losses and structural rearrangements compared to their more stable photosynthetic relatives. Distantly related lineages provide independent data points to study plastome degradation. I used Sanger sequencing to assess the utility of three nonphotosynthetic plastid genes in phylogenetic inference of seven monocot families that include mycoheterotrophic taxa. I also assembled full plastome genomes for multiple mycoheterotrophic monocots, a heterotrophic conifer (Parasitaxus, Podocarpaceae) and autotrophic relatives for comparative analysis. Phylogenomic inferences are robust to different likelihood approaches and often extensive gene loss, are generally congruent with the few-gene analyses, and are insensitive to long branches, in contrast to parsimony. Patterns of gene loss and retention are largely in agreement with hypothesized trajectories, starting with plastid NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, followed by the loss of other photosynthesis-related genes, and ending in gradual loss of transcriptional apparatus and other non-photosynthesis related genes. I observed retention (delayed loss?) of genes encoding subunits of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (Parasitaxus and some species in Petrosavia, Petrosaviaceae), plastid ATP synthase (Petrosavia, perhaps Parasitaxus in modified form) and Rubisco (Petrosavia), consistent with secondary non-photosynthetic functions of the latter two complexes. Some group IIA introns appear to be retained despite the loss of the plastid intron maturase, matK. Retained open reading frames are generally under strong purifying selection in Sciaphila (Triuridaceae). Genome contraction is the major mode of genome rearrangement, with severe reduction seen in some lineages (e.g., Apteria in Burmanniaceae is reduced to ~16 kb). Some mycoheterotrophs are nearly or completely colinear with autotrophic lineages (Geosiris in Iridaceae, at ~123 kb). Others have multiple minor or major rearrangements, which may be unrelated to the presence or absence of an inverted repeat (IR). Four independent IR losses were observed (in Burmanniaceae, Corsiaceae, Petrosaviaceae and Triuridaceae), an extra IR copy evolved in Campylosiphon (Burmanniaceae), and an entire IR re-evolved in Parasitaxus. Shifts in IR boundaries were also found in all mycoheterotrophs. Within-taxon comparisons (e.g., in Corsiaceae and Petrosavia) also underline that idiosyncratic evolutionary changes may occur following each loss of photosynthesis.
REx: An Efficient Rule Generator

description: This paper describes an efficient algorithm REx for generating symbolic rules from artificial neural network (ANN). Classification rules are sought in many areas from automatic knowledge acquisition to data mining and ANN rule extraction. This is because classification rules possess some attractive features. They are explicit, understandable and verifiable by domain experts, and can be modified, extended and passed on as modular knowledge. REx exploits the first order information in the data and finds shortest sufficient conditions for a rule of a class that can differentiate it from patterns of other classes. It can generate concise and perfect rules in the sense that the error rate of the rules is not worse than the inconsistency rate found in the original data. An important feature of rule extraction algorithm, REx, is its recursive nature. They are concise, comprehensible, order insensitive and do not involve any weight values. Extensive experimental studies on several benchmark classification problems, such as breast cancer, iris, season, and golf-playing, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with good generalization ability.

Creators: name: Golembiewski, Leeanna L.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Relative to younger ages, mental health problems are more prevalent among college students (Pedrelli et al., 2015) and nearly 20% of U.S college students are diagnosed each year with a mental health problem (Blanco et al., 2008). College students’ self-efficacy may influence mental health outcomes by impacting an individual’s decision to change their behavior and execute a course of action (Bresó et al., 2011). Mental health may also be influenced by the degree of willingness that an individual possesses, such that those who are more willing to seek mental health treatment are also more likely to follow through and seek help (Segal et al., 2005). Participants in the present study were first-year freshman college students who completed an online survey. Specifically, it was predicted that mental health symptoms would be negatively associated with mental health self-efficacy, and that higher mental health self-efficacy would be associated with greater willingness to engage in mental health services. Additionally, it was hypothesized that mental health self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between mental health problems and willingness to engage in mental health services. Mental health symptoms were negatively associated with mental health self-efficacy; however, mental health self-efficacy was not significantly associated with willingness to engage in mental health services. Lastly, mental health self-efficacy did not significantly mediate the relationship between mental health symptoms and willingness to engage in mental health services. Results from this study highlight the importance of increasing access to mental health prevention and intervention programs to assist college students with mental health problems who may be hesitant to seek services.

description: Quasi-periodic propagating disturbances are frequently observed in coronal intensity image sequences. These disturbances have historically been interpreted as being the signature of slow-mode magnetoacoustic waves propagating into the corona. The detailed analysis of Hinode EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) timeseries observations of an active region (known to contain propagating disturbances) shows strongly correlated, quasi-periodic, oscillations in intensity, Doppler shift, and line width. No frequency doubling is visible in the latter. The enhancements in the moments of the line profile are generally accompanied by a faint, quasi-periodically occurring, excess emission at ~100 km/s in the blue wing of coronal emission lines. The correspondence of quasi-periodic excess wing emission and the moments of the line profile indicates that repetitive high-velocity upflows are responsible for the oscillatory behavior observed. Furthermore, we show that the same quasi-periodic upflows can be directly identified in a simultaneous image sequence obtained by the Hinode X-Ray Telescope (XRT). These results are consistent with the recent assertion of De Pontieu & McIntosh (2010) that the wave interpretation of the data is not unique. Indeed, given that several instances are seen to propagate along the direction of the EIS slit that clearly show in-phase, quasi-periodic variations of intensity, velocity, width (without frequency doubling), and blue wing enhanced emission this dataset would appear to provide a compelling example that upflows are more likely to be the main cause of the quasi-periodicities observed here, as such correspondences are hard to reconcile in the wave paradigm.

Year: 2011

description: Using the outer gap model, we investigate the emission region for the multi-wavelength light curve from energetic pulsars. We assume that gamma-ray and non-thermal X-ray photons are emitted from a particle acceleration region in the outer magnetosphere, and UV/optical photons originate above that region. We assume that gamma-rays are radiated only by outwardly moving particles, whereas the other photons are produced by particles moving inward and outward. We parameterize the altitude of the emission region as the deviation from the rotating dipole in vacuum and determine it from the observed multi-wavelength pulse profile using the observationally constrained magnetic dipole inclination angle and viewing angle of the pulsars. We find that the outer gap model can explain the multi-wavelength pulse behavior by a simple distribution of emissivity, and discuss the possibility of further improvement. From observational fitting, we also find a general tendency for the altitude of the gamma-ray emission region to depend on the inclination angle. In particular, the emission region for low inclination angle is required to be located in very low altitude, which corresponds to the inner region within the last-open field line of rotating dipole in vacuum. This model suggests a modification of statistics about observed gamma-ray pulsars. Number of the sources with low inclination and viewing angles increases compared with previous estimate.

Enhanced Self-organized Dewetting of Ultrathin Polymer Films under Water-organic Solutions: Fabrication of Sub-micron Spherical Lens Arrays

description: Field-induced self-organized patterning in ultrathin (< 100 nm) polymer films produces resolutions of the order of 10 μm or more because of the high energy penalty for the surface deformations on small scales. We propose here a very simple but versatile method to fabricate sub-micron (~100 nm) ordered and tunable polymeric structures by self-organized room temperature dewetting of ultrathin polystyrene films by minimizing the surface tension limitation. We illustrate this technique by fabricating sub-micron lens arrays of tunable curvature. This is achieved by switching to controlled room temperature dewetting under an optimal mix of water, acetone and methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK). Organic solvents used decrease the glass transition temperature, greatly decrease the interfacial tension, intensify the field and increase the contact angle/aspect ratio of the resulting tunable nano-structures, without a concurrent solubilization of PS owing to water being the majority phase in the outside mixture.

title: Regulation of T-cell adhesion and megakaryopoiesis by immune adaptor ADAP
Creators: name: Xiong, Y
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The immune adaptor ADAP possesses versatile roles in a variety of immune cells, including T cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and platelets, etc. The most extensivelystudied role of ADAP is that it couples TCR activation to integrin activation and T-cell adhesion. However, the regulation of this adaptor during integrin activation and T-cell adhesion remains unclear. Meantime, the functions of ADAP linked to other immune cells are largely unknown. Work in this thesis have identified Ubc9, the sole SUMO E2 conjugase, as an essential regulator of ADAP in T-cell adhesion. We show that ADAP interacted directly with Ubc9 in vitro and in vivo, and the association was further strengthened in response to anti-CD3 stimulation. The Ubc9 binding domain on ADAP was mapped to a nuclear localisation sequence (aa 674-700) within ADAP. Knockdown of Ubc9 by shRNA or expression of the Ubc9-binding-deficient ADAP mutant significantly decreased TCRinduced integrin adhesion to ICAM-1 and fibronectin, as well as LFA-1 clustering, while having little effect on the TCR proximal signalling responses and TCR-induced IL-2 transcription. Furthermore, downregulation of Ubc9 impaired TCR-mediated Rac1 activation and attenuated the membrane targeting of Rap1 but not RIAM. Taken together, our data demonstrate for the first time that ADAP forms a functional interplay with Ubc9 and Ubc9 plays a selective role in integrin-mediated T-cell adhesion via modulation of Rap1 membrane recruitment and Rac1 activation. Another important finding of this thesis is the identification of a negative regulatory role for ADAP in the megakaryopoiesis. Here we show that in the bone marrow and spleen of ADAP-/- mice, a significant increase in the number of megakaryocytes were observed, and the ADAP-deficient megakaryocytes exhibited potentiated capacity in differentiation and development compared to the WT megakaryocytes. Mechanistically, ADAP directly interacted with STAT1, an indispensable modulator in megakaryopoiesis. Analysis on the activation of STAT1 showed that depletion of ADAP resulted in potentiated STAT1 phosphorylation and transcriptional activity, as well as upregulations of STAT1-regulatory genes. Collectively, these results suggest a novel role of ADAP in megakaryocytes, where ADAP attenuates megakaryopoiesis by direct interaction with STAT1 and negatively modulates the STAT1 activities. In summary, the work in this thesis have illustrated the diverse roles of ADAP in TCR-mediated integrin activation and megakaryopoiesis, and altogether contributed to our current knowledge of the many facets of ADAP in immunity.

"The land grows people" : indigenous knowledge and social repairing in rural post-conflict Northern Uganda
Creators: name: Gauvin, Lara Rosenoff
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation examines how individuals and communities “move on” after two decades of war and mass internal displacement in rural Acoliland, Northern Uganda (~1986-2008). Based upon fieldwork from 2004 to 2012, it explores the multi-generational angst regarding youth’s disconnection from, or disinterest in, tekwaro (Acoli indigenous knowledge) in the conflict and post-conflict years. Attending to the ways that everyday inter-generational practices engendered by a return to the land activate a range of social relationships and engagements with tekwaro, I assert that these interactions re-gather different generations in the rebuilding of social, political, and moral community. I first re-narrate the history of one rural sub-clan, and explore how ngom kwaro (ancestral land) is their prime idiom of relatedness. Detailing experiences of displacement during the recent war, I acknowledge the tic Acoli (livelihood work) necessary for survival upon their return to the land as a vital framework for inter-generational engagement. I then consider adults’ and elders’ preoccupation with the decline of woro (respect) and cuna (‘courtship’ processes) within the IDP (internally displaced persons’) camps. Exploring how cuna affects relations and their organization, I examine contemporary cuna processes as important frameworks for inter-generational interaction. I finally consider how the responsibilities and relationships activated through kin-based communal governance organizations (sub-clans, lineages) are key to understanding both tekwaro and relatedness, and examine the creation of one sub-clan’s written constitution as another significant framework for inter-generational negotiation, participation, and engagement. I emphasize that these engagements with tekwaro work to elaborate and re-elaborate relatedness, and thus serve as important practices of social repairing, grounded by communal stewardship of the land. Rather than addressing specific transgressive violences experienced during the war years, the results of this research suggest that social repair–the striving for the restoration of sociality–implicitly concerns resistance of the seeping, inscribing, relational effects of those violences. Rather, a return to the land, and the system of land tenure itself, provokes inter-generational participation that serves to make and remake relatedness, orienting social relations away from the fragmenting, unprecedented, Acoli-on Acoli violence (Oloya 2013) experienced during the years of war and displacement.

description: We study the trajectory of a simple random walk on a d-regular graph with d>2 and locally tree-like structure as the number n of vertices grows. Examples of such graphs include random d-regular graphs and large girth expanders. For these graphs, we investigate percolative properties of the set of vertices not visited by the walk until time un, where u>0 is a fixed positive parameter. We show that this so-called vacant set exhibits a phase transition in u in the following sense: there exists an explicitly computable threshold u* such that, with high probability as n grows, if uu*, then it has a volume of order log(n). The critical value u* coincides with the critical intensity of a random interlacement process (introduced by Sznitman [arXiv:0704.2560]) on a d-regular tree. We also show that the random interlacement model describes the structure of the vacant set in local neighbourhoods.

High-resolution infrared spectroscopy as a tool to detect false positives of transit search programs

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Transit search programs such as CoRoT and Kepler now have the capability of detecting planets as small as the Earth. The detection of these planets however requires the removal of all false positives. Although many false positives can be identified by a detailed analysis of the LCs, the detections of others require additional observations. An important source of false positives are faint eclipsing binaries within the PSF of the target stars. We develop a new method that allows us to detect faint eclipsing binaries with a separation smaller than one arcsec from target stars. We thereby focus on binaries that mimic the transits of terrestrial planets. These binaries can be either at the same distance as the target star (triple stars), or at either larger, or smaller distances. A close inspection of the problem indicates that in all relevant cases the binaries are brighter in the infrared than in the optical regime. We show how high resolution IR spectroscopy can be used to remove these false positives. For the triple star case, we find that the brightness difference between a primary and an eclipsing secondary is about 9-10 mag in the visual but only about 4.5-5.9 magnitudes in the K-band. We demonstrate how the triple star hypothesis can be excluded by taking a high-resolution IR spectrum. Simulations of these systems show that the companions can be detected with a false-alarm probability of 2%, if the spectrum has a S/N-ratio > 100. We show that high-resolution IR spectra also allows to detect most of the false positives caused by foreground or background binaries. If high resolution IR spectroscopy is combined with photometric methods, virtually all false positives can be detected without RV measurements. It is thus possible to confirm transiting terrestrial planets with a modest investment of observing time.

description: Web page categorization is one of the challenging tasks in the world of ever increasing web technologies. There are many ways of categorization of web pages based on different approach and features. This paper proposes a new dimension in the way of categorization of web pages using artificial neural network (ANN) through extracting the features automatically. Here eight major categories of web pages have been selected for categorization; these are business & economy, education, government, entertainment, sports, news & media, job search, and science. The whole process of the proposed system is done in three successive stages. In the first stage, the features are automatically extracted through analyzing the source of the web pages. The second stage includes fixing the input values of the neural network; all the values remain between 0 and 1. The variations in those values affect the output. Finally the third stage determines the class of a certain web page out of eight predefined classes. This stage is done using back propagation algorithm of artificial neural network. The proposed concept will facilitate web mining, retrievals of information from the web and also the search engines.

description: Using the method of anharmonic lattice statics, we calculate the equilibrium structure of steps on 180^o ferroelectric domain walls (DW) in PbTiO_3. We consider three different types of steps: i) Ti-Ti step that joins a Ti-centered DW to a Ti-centered DW, (ii) Pb-Pb step that joins a Pb-centered DW to a Pb-centered DW, and (iii) Pb-Ti step that joins a Pb-centered DW to a Ti-centered DW. We show that atomic distortions due to these steps broaden a DW but are localized, i.e., they are confined to regions with dimensions of a few lattice spacings. We see that a step locally thickens the domain wall; the defective domain wall is two to three times thicker than the perfect domain wall depending on the step type. We also observe that steps distort the polarization distribution in a mixed Bloch-Néel like way; polarization rotates out of the domain wall plane near the steps. Our calculations show that Pb-Pb steps have the lowest static energy.

description: Traditionally, there is no evidence suggesting that there are strong ties between the rich-club property and the function of complex networks. In this study, we find that whether a very small portion of rich nodes connected to each other or not can strongly affect the frequency of occurrence of basic building blocks (motif) within networks, and therefore the function, of a heterogeneous network. Conversely whether a homogeneous network has a rich-club property or not generally has no significant effect on its structure and function. These findings open the possibility to optimize and control the function of complex networks by manipulating rich-club connections. Furthermore, based on the subgraph ratio profile, we develop a more rigorous approach to judge whether a network has a rich-club or not. The new method does not calculate how many links there are among rich nodes but depends on how the links among rich nodes can affect the overall structure as well as function of a given network. These results can also help us to understand the evolution of dynamical networks and design new models for characterizing real-world networks.

Efficient deep learning of 3D structural brain MRIs for manifold learning and lesion segmentation with application to multiple sclerosis
Creators: name: Brosch, Tom

Year: 2016

description: Deep learning methods have shown great success in many research areas such as object recognition, speech recognition, and natural language understanding, due to their ability to automatically learn a hierarchical set of features that is tuned to a given domain and robust to large variability. This motivates the use of deep learning for neurological applications, because the large variability in brain morphology and varying contrasts produced by different MRI scanners makes the automatic analysis of brain images challenging. However, 3D brain images pose unique challenges due to their complex content and high dimensionality relative to the typical number of images available, making optimization of deep networks and evaluation of extracted features difficult. In order to facilitate the training on large 3D volumes, we have developed a novel training method for deep networks that is optimized for speed and memory. Our method performs training of convolutional deep belief networks and convolutional neural networks in the frequency domain, which replaces the time-consuming calculation of convolutions with element-wise multiplications, while adding only a small number of Fourier transforms. We demonstrate the potential of deep learning for neurological image analysis using two applications. One is the development of a fully automatic multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion segmentation method based on a new type of convolutional neural network that consists of two interconnected pathways for feature extraction and lesion prediction. This allows for the automatic learning of features at different scales that are optimized for accuracy for any given combination of image types and segmentation task. Our network also uses a novel objective function that works well for segmenting underrepresented classes, such as MS lesions. The other application is the development of a statistical model of brain images that can automatically discover patterns of variability in brain morphology and lesion distribution. We propose building such a model using a deep belief network, a layered network whose parameters can be learned from training images. Our results show that this model can automatically discover the classic patterns of MS pathology, as well as more subtle ones, and that the parameters computed have strong relationships to MS clinical scores.
title: Textile activity and its tools: indicators of cultural identity and interaction processes in Sicily and the Aeolian Islands (13th-5th century BC)
Creators: name: Longhitano, G
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: This thesis aims to investigate cultural contacts in Sicily through the understudied archaeological categories of textile tools. Sicily and the Aeolian islands have been crossroads of cultures for millennia. The possible movement of peoples from the Italian Peninsula during the Final Bronze Age and the establishment of Greek and Phoenician incomers from the 8th century BC made Sicily a paradigmatic example of culturally hybrid frameworks. The results of these cultural interactions are often perceived to have stimulated changes in indigenous material culture and technologies. Past studies dealing with cultural encounters have mainly focused on architecture, metallurgy, pottery and social practices. Specifically, this thesis will test the hypothesis that textile tools serve as cultural markers in the hybrid framework of Sicily between the 13th and 5th centuries BC. By presenting seven case studies, I will explore how and to what extent the impact of intense cultural interactions affected indigenous textile traditions. Moreover, since dress and clothing are key indicators of individual and social identities across a wide range of societies, I will demonstrate how cultural interaction made a material impact on communicating identities through textiles. Finally, because women seem regularly to be involved in textile manufacture, I will investigate how and to what extent women played a crucial role in transfer of knowledge as well as in construction and representation of social identity through textile technology. The analysis carried out in this work will help to define the features of textile tradition at sites and approach textile culture within the investigation of cultural interactions.

X-ray reverberation in 1H0707-495 revisited

description: The narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H0707-495 has previously been identified as showing time lags between flux variations in the soft- (0.3-1 keV) and medium-energy (1-4 keV) X-ray bands that oscillate between positive and negative values as a function of the frequency of the mode of variation. Here we measure and analyse the lags also between a harder X-ray band (4-7.5 keV) and the soft and medium bands, using existing XMM-Newton data, and demonstrate that the entire spectrum of lags, considering both the full energy range, 0.3-7.5 keV, and the full frequency range, 10^-5 < nu < 10^-2 Hz, are inconsistent with previous claims of arising as reverberation associated with the inner accretion disk. Instead we demonstrate that a simple reverberation model, in which scattering or reflection is present in all X-ray bands, explains the full set of lags without requiring any ad hoc explanation for the time lag sign changes. The range of time delays required to explain the observed lags extends up to about 1800 s in the hard band. The results are consistent with reverberation caused by scattering of X-rays passing through an absorbing medium whose opacity decreases with increasing energy and that partially-covers the source. A high covering factor of absorbing and scattering circumnuclear material is inferred.

description: Development of radiation technology for the radiation-chemical studies in IPCE RAS started in 1945 and is inextricably linked to "Atomic project of the USSR". On February 1, 1946, samples of uranium irradiated on a cyclotron were transferred to the Special Laboratory of the Institute of Physical Chemistry for research on the release of plutonium. P.Ya. Glazunov, who worked under the direction of I. V. Kurchatov, played an extremely important role in the construction of Laboratory No. 6. At the radiation facilities on the subject of the "Atomic Project of the USSR" within the framework of laboratory No. 6, the founder of Russian radiation chemistry, N. A. Bach, who laid the foundations of radiation chemistry and radiation technologies, conducted radiation-chemical research. In subsequent years, the laboratory of P.Ya. Glazunov (since 1989, the laboratory is headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences Yu. S. Pavlov) successfully used radiation installations of various types and purposes: electronic accelerators VVU-1, U-12F, ELU-6E, U-003M, UELV-10-10-S-70; gamma installations with sources 60Сo MRX-γ-100, GUG-120, KPU-29, MGU-30; neutron generator NG-150, etc.

description: The main objective of this work is to design and construct a microcomputer based system: to control electric appliances such as light, fan, heater, washing machine, motor, TV, etc. The paper discusses two major approaches to control home appliances. The first involves controlling home appliances using timer option. The second approach is to control home appliances using voice command. Moreover, it is also possible to control appliances using Graphical User Interface. The parallel port is used to transfer data from computer to the particular device to be controlled. An interface box is designed to connect the high power loads to the parallel port. This system will play an important role for the elderly and physically disable people to control their home appliances in intuitive and flexible way. We have developed a system, which is able to control eight electric appliances properly in these three modes.

description: Purim não é apenas uma festa de livramento, mas um alerta contra o "espírito de Amaleque", que continua atacando de forma sutil e progressiva. Hamã, descendente de Agague, representa tudo aquilo que enfraquece a fé através da distração, do relativismo e da normalização do pecado. Saul falhou ao eliminar Amaleque e pagou um preço alto; Mordecai e Ester discerniram a ameaça e se posicionaram. O que não enfrentamos hoje pode nos destruir amanhã. Estamos discernindo os "Hamãs" e "Agagues" do nosso tempo ou nos curvando sem perceber?
Cloning of arbitrary mirror-symmetric distributions on Bloch sphere: Optimality proof and proposal for practical photonic realization

description: We study state-dependent quantum cloning which can outperform universal cloning. This is possible by using some a priori information on a given quantum state to be cloned. Specifically, we propose a generalization and optical implementation of quantum optimal mirror phase-covariant cloning, which refers to optimal cloning of sets of qubits of known modulus of expectation value of Pauli's Z operator. Our results can be applied for cloning of an arbitrary mirror-symmetric distribution of qubits on Bloch sphere including in special cases the universal cloning and phase-covariant cloning. We show that the cloning is optimal by adapting our former optimality proof for axisymmetric cloning [Phys. Rev. 82, 042330 (2010)]. Moreover, we propose an optical realization of the optimal mirror phase-covariant 1 to 2 cloning of a qubit, for which the mean probability of successful cloning varies from 1/6 to 1/3 depending on prior information on the set of qubits to be cloned. The qubits are represented by polarization states of photons generated by the type-I spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The scheme is based on the interference of two photons on an unbalanced polarization-dependent beam splitter with different splitting ratios for vertical and horizontal polarization components and the additional application of feedforward by means of Pockels cells. The experimental feasibility of the proposed setup is carefully studied including various kinds of imperfections and losses including: (i) finite efficiency of generating a pair of entangled photons in the type-I spontaneous parametric down conversion, (ii) the influence of choosing various splitting ratios of the unbalanced beam splitter, (iii) the application of conventional and single-photon discriminating detectors, (iv) dark counts and finite efficiency of the detectors.
