description: We report the first experimental study upon the optical trapping and manipulation of topological insulator (TI) particles. By virtue of the unique TI properties, which have a conducting surface and an insulating bulk, the particles present a peculiar behaviour in the presence of a single laser beam optical tweezers: they oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the laser propagation, as a result of the competition between radiation pressure and gradient forces. In other words, TI particles behave as optically induced oscillators, allowing dynamical measurements with unprecedented simplicity and purely optical control. Actually, optical rheology of soft matter interfaces and biological membranes, as well as dynamical force measurements in macromolecules and biopolymers, may be quoted as feasible possibilities for the near future.

description: BACKGROUND: There is currently a dearth of research on the neural framework of writing tasks in children, as measured by neuroimaging techniques.
OBJECTIVE: This paper provides an overview of the current literature examining the neurological underpinnings of written expression in children.
DESIGN: Using a scoping review approach, with thorough searches of key databases, this paper presents the available literature comprising 13 different studies using both structural and functional neuroimaging techniques with the 0-18 English speaking population.
RESULTS: Studies largely presented small sample sizes, with most studies utilizing elementary or middle school-aged children. Emergent findings revealed a complex network of neural contributions to the writing process in children. There were associations between the left fusiform gyrus and orthographic coding (i.e., handwriting), and spelling and written composition measures were significantly correlated with activity in the left posterior cingulate, left precuneus, and right precuneus regions. Additionally, results revealed that good versus poor writers manifested differential brain activation patterns during many tasks associated with written expression, with good writers performing more efficiently than poor writers with respect to brain regions activated during a writing task across handwriting, spelling, and idea generation.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings from this scoping review lay the foundation for future studies examining the interface between writing skills in children and underlying neural pathways that support the various components of the writing process. It will be important for future research to examine the neurological bases of the various components of written expression in children and adolescents.

description: We present the first ever measurements of femtoscopic correlations between the K$^0_{\rm S}$ and K$^{\rm \pm}$ particles. The analysis was performed on the data from Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV measured by the ALICE experiment. The observed femtoscopic correlations are consistent with final-state interactions proceeding via the $a_0(980)$ resonance. The extracted kaon source radius and correlation strength parameters for K$^0_{\rm S}$K$^{\rm -}$ are found to be equal within the experimental uncertainties to those for K$^0_{\rm S}$K$^{\rm +}$. Comparing the results of the present study with those from published identical-kaon femtoscopic studies by ALICE, mass and coupling parameters for the $a_0$ resonance are constrained. Our results are also compatible with the interpretation of the $a_0$ having a tetraquark structure over that of a diquark.

description: Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) can overcome the problem of overconfidence that plagues traditional frequentist deep neural networks, and are hence considered to be a key enabler for reliable AI systems. However, conventional hardware realizations of BNNs are resource intensive, requiring the implementation of random number generators for synaptic sampling. Owing to their inherent stochasticity during programming and read operations, nanoscale memristive devices can be directly leveraged for sampling, without the need for additional hardware resources. In this paper, we introduce a novel Phase Change Memory (PCM)-based hardware implementation for BNNs with binary synapses. The proposed architecture consists of separate weight and noise planes, in which PCM cells are configured and operated to represent the nominal values of weights and to generate the required noise for sampling, respectively. Using experimentally observed PCM noise characteristics, for the exemplary Breast Cancer Dataset classification problem, we obtain hardware accuracy and expected calibration error matching that of an 8-bit fixed-point (FxP8) implementation, with projected savings of over 9$\times$ in terms of core area transistor count.

description: To act in the world, robots rely on a representation of salient task aspects: for example, to carry a coffee mug, a robot may consider movement efficiency or mug orientation in its behavior. However, if we want robots to act for and with people, their representations must not be just functional but also reflective of what humans care about, i.e. they must be aligned. We observe that current learning approaches suffer from representation misalignment, where the robot's learned representation does not capture the human's representation. We suggest that because humans are the ultimate evaluator of robot performance, we must explicitly focus our efforts on aligning learned representations with humans, in addition to learning the downstream task. We advocate that current representation learning approaches in robotics should be studied from the perspective of how well they accomplish the objective of representation alignment. We mathematically define the problem, identify its key desiderata, and situate current methods within this formalism. We conclude by suggesting future directions for exploring open challenges.

description: Human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common cancer worldwide with an unmet need for more effective, less toxic treatments. Currently, both the disease and the treatment of HNSCC cause significant mortality and morbidity. Targeted therapies hold new promise for patients with HPV-negative status whose tumors harbor oncogenic HRAS mutations. Recent promising clinical results have renewed interest in the development of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) as a therapeutic strategy for HRAS-mutant cancers. With the advent of clinical evaluation of the FTI tipifarnib for the treatment of HRAS-mutant HNSCC, we investigated the activity of tipifarnib and inhibitors of HRAS effector signaling in HRAS-mutant HNSCC cell lines. First, we validated that HRAS is a cancer driver in HRAS-mutant HNSCC lines. Second, we showed that treatment with the FTI tipifarnib largely phenocopied HRAS silencing, supporting HRAS as a key target of FTI antitumor activity. Third, we performed reverse-phase protein array analyses to profile FTI treatment-induced changes in global signaling, and conducted CRISPR/Cas9 genetic loss-of-function screens to identify previously unreported genes and pathways that modulate sensitivity to tipifarnib. Fourth, we determined that concurrent inhibition of HRAS effector signaling (ERK, PI3K, mTORC1) increased sensitivity to tipifarnib treatment, in part by overcoming tipifarnib-induced compensatory signaling. We also determined that ERK inhibition could block tipifarnib-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, providing a potential basis for the effectiveness of this combination. Our results support future investigations of these and other combination treatments for HRAS mutant HNSCC.

description: We present a single-shot method to measure motional states in the number basis. The technique can be applied to systems with at least three non-degenerate energy levels which can be coupled to a linear quantum harmonic oscillator, such as in trapped ion experiments. The method relies on probing an Autler-Townes splitting that arises when two levels are strongly coupled via a phonon-number changing transition. We demonstrate the method using a single trapped ion and show that it may be used in a non-demolition fashion to prepare phonon number states. We also show how the Autler-Townes splitting can be used to measure phonon number distributions.

description: Charge density waves (CDWs) have been tied to a number of unusual phenomena in kagome metals, including rotation symmetry breaking, time-reversal symmetry breaking and superconductivity. The majority of the experiments thus far have focused on the CDW states in AV3Sb5 and FeGe, characterized by the 2a0 by 2a0 period. Recently, a bulk CDW phase (T* ~ 92 K) with a different wave length and orientation has been reported in ScV6Sn6, as the first realization of a CDW state in the broad RM6X6 structure. Here, using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we reveal the microscopic structure and the spectroscopic signatures of this charge ordering phase in ScV6Sn6. Differential conductance dI/dV spectra show a partial gap opening in the density-of-states of about 20 meV at the Fermi level. This is much smaller than the spectral gaps observed in AV3Sb5 and FeGe despite the comparable T* temperatures in these systems, suggesting substantially weaker coupling strength in ScV6Sn6. Surprisingly, despite the three-dimensional bulk nature of the charge order, we find that the charge modulation is only observed on the kagome termination. Temperature-dependent band structure evolution suggests a modulation of the surface states as a consequence of the emergent charge order, with an abrupt spectral weight shift below T* consistent with the first-order phase transition. The similarity of the electronic band structures of ScV6Sn6 and TbV6Sn6 (where charge ordering is absent), together with the first-principle calculations, suggests that charge ordering in ScV6Sn6 may not be primarily electronically driven. Interestingly, in contrast to the CDW state of cousin AV3Sb5, we find no evidence supporting rotation symmetry breaking. Our results reveal a distinctive nature of the charge ordering phase in ScV6Sn6 in comparison to other kagome metals.

description: Motivated by recent findings on the derivation of parametric non-involutive solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation we reconstruct the underlying algebraic structures, called near braces. Using the notion of the near braces we produce new multi-parametric, non-degenerate, non-involutive solutions of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation. These solutions are generalisations of the known ones coming from braces and skew braces. Bijective maps associated to the inverse solutions are also constructed. Furthermore, we introduce the generalized notion of p-deformed braided groups and p-braidings and we show that every p-braiding is a solution of the braid equation. We also show that certain multi-parametric maps within the near braces provide special cases of p-braidings.

description: Bipartite entanglement entropy of a segment with the length $l$ in $1+1$ dimensional conformal field theories (CFT) follows the formula $S=\frac{c}{3}\ln l+γ$, where $c$ is the central charge of the CFT and $γ$ is a cut-off dependent constant which diverges in the absence of an ultraviolet cutoff. According to this formula, systems with larger central charges have {\it{more}} bipartite entanglement entropy. Using quantum Fisher information (QFI), we argue that systems with bigger central charges not only have larger bipartite entanglement entropy but also have more multipartite entanglement content. In particular, we argue that since systems with smaller {\it{smallest scaling dimension}} have bigger QFI, the multipartite entanglement content of a CFT is dependent on the value of the smallest scaling dimension present in the spectrum of the system. We show that our argument seems to be consistent with some of the existing results regarding the von Neumann entropy, negativity, and localizable entanglement in $1+1$ dimensions. Furthermore, we also argue that the QFI decays under renormalization group (RG) flow between two unitary CFTs. Finally, we also comment on the non-conformal but scale invariant systems.

description: Each year, approximately 55,000 pregnant people are incarcerated in US jails. To learn about pregnancy and postpartum care in jails, we analyzed 34 qualitative interviews with jail personnel from facilities in five Southeastern US states. Themes included jail processes unique to pregnancy and burden on jails produced by liability and limited resources. Societal attitudes such as stigma, distrust of pregnant people, and a focus on fetal well-being were also important themes. Jail-community partnerships may mitigate the effects of scarce resources and improve jail perinatal care. Better community safety nets that decrease contact with jails are needed to improve pregnancy outcomes.

description: We propose an electrodynamic Aharonov-Bohm (AB) scheme where a nonzero AB phase difference appears even if the interferometer paths do not enclose a magnetic flux and are subjected to negligible scalar potential differences during the propagation of the quantum charged particle. In the proposal, the current in a solenoid outside the interferometer varies in time while the quantum particle is in a superposition state inside two Faraday cages, such that it is always subjected to negligible electromagnetic fields. At first glance, this result could challenge the topological nature of the AB effect. However, by considering the topology of the electromagnetic field configuration and the possible particle trajectories in spacetime, we demonstrate the topological nature of this situation.

description: Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have recently attracted a great deal of attention as they provide condensed matter realization of chiral anomaly, feature topologically protected Fermi arc surface states and sustain sharp chiral Weyl quasiparticles up to a critical disorder at which a continuous quantum phase transition (QPT) drives the system into a metallic phase. We here numerically demonstrate that with increasing strength of disorder the Fermi arc gradually looses its sharpness, and close to the WSM-metal QPT it completely dissolves into the metallic bath of the bulk. Predicted topological nature of the WSM-metal QPT and the resulting bulk-boundary correspondence across this transition can directly be observed in angle-resolved-photo-emmision-spectroscopy (ARPES) and Fourier transformed scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) measurements by following the continuous deformation of the Fermi arcs with increasing disorder in recently discovered Weyl materials.

description: It is well-established that multicomponent superconductors can host different nonstandard phenomena such as broken-time reversal symmetry (BTRS) states, exotic Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phases, the fractional Josephson effect as well as plenty of topological defects like phase solitons, domain walls and unusual vortex structures. We show that in the case of a two-component superconducting quasi-one-dimensional channel this catalogue can be extended by a novel inhomogeneous current state, which we have termed as a multiple-momenta state or, in short, a multiple-q state, characterized by the coexistence of two different interpenetrating Cooper pair condensates with different total momenta. Within the Ginzburg-Landau formalism for a dirty two-band superconductor with sizable impurity scattering treated in the Born-approximation we reveal that under certain conditions, the occurrence of multiple-q states can induce a cascade of transitions involving switching between them and the homogeneous BTRS (non-BTRS) states and vice versa leading this way to a complex interplay of homogeneous and inhomogeneous current states. We find that hallmarks of such a multiple-q state within a thin wire or channel can be a saw-like dependence of the depairing current and the existence of two distinct stable branches on it (a bistable current state).

description: We present coronagraphic long slit spectra of AU Mic's debris disk taken with the STIS instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our spectra are the first spatially resolved, scattered light spectra of the system's disk, which we detect at projected distances between approximately 10 and 45 AU. Our spectra cover a wavelength range between 5200 and 10200 angstroms. We find that the color of AU Mic's debris disk is bluest at small (12-35 AU) projected separations. These results both confirm and quantify the findings qualitatively noted by Krist et al. (2005), and are different than IR observations that suggested a uniform blue or gray color as a function of projected separation in this region of the disk. Unlike previous literature that reported the color of AU Mic's disk became increasingly more blue as a function of projected separation beyond approximately 30 AU, we find the disk's optical color between 35-45 AU to be uniformly blue on the southeast side of the disk and decreasingly blue on the northwest side. We note that this apparent change in disk color at larger projected separations coincides with several fast, outward moving "features" that are passing through this region of the southeast side of the disk. We speculate that these phenomenon might be related, and that the fast moving features could be changing the localized distribution of sub-micron sized grains as they pass by, thereby reducing the blue color of the disk in the process. We encourage follow-up optical spectroscopic observations of the AU Mic to both confirm this result, and search for further modifications of the disk color caused by additional fast moving features propagating through the disk.

description: In this paper, we study thermodynamics of charged and uncharged 4-Dimension Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D-EGB) black holes. The context of this study is the Visser's holographic thermodynamics with a fixed anti-de Sitter radius and a variable Newton constant known as restricted phase space thermodynamics (RPST). Our setup is constructed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence and by introducing a conjugate quantity of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter. By this ansatz, we conclude that the Gauss-Bonnet action multiplied by a temperature, behaves as a free energy. We derive the conjugate quantities corresponding to the first law in the RPST formalism.
 The study of the $T-S$ processes and the effect of the Gauss-Bonnet constant, $α$, show that thermodynamic properties of charged black holes depend on the Gauss-Bonnet term and the charge of black holes. For an uncharged black holes, the effect of Gauss-Bonnet becomes crucial, as it behaves as a charged black hole with an effective charge. Finally, we find that the Hawking-Page phase transition occurs between a large black hole and a thermal AdS space.

description: \(Background and Aims:\) Elite athletes are continually pursuing the small gains that may assist in improving their performance and edging them ahead of their opponents. Ergogenic aids, including a variety of sports equipment, are commonly employed to achieve such gains. One particular aid that is frequently utilised in an attempt to augment both exercise performance and recovery is sports compression garments. Compression garments have long been used in a clinical setting to augment blood flow in patients with poor circulation. They are widely recognised as a beneficial and effective tool in this population. Extensive research findings have supported the capacity for compression garments to narrow blood vessels, increase both arterial and venous flow, and physically restrict the space available for oedema to form. These mechanisms reduce the incidence of deep vein thromboses, limb swelling and venous ulcers. The transfer of these physiological enhancements to an athletic population manifests in reduced limb swelling, removal of metabolites and improved nutrient delivery to the muscles. These mechanisms are proposed to aid performance by improving recovery and delaying fatigue. Further to these potential physiological adaptations, sports compression garments are also proposed to influence athletic performance via reductions in muscle oscillation and improved proprioception. In addition, the commonly held belief in the efficacy of sports compression garments to enhance performance also has the capacity to affect athletic outcomes. To better understand the capacity of compression garments in a sporting setting, and link together the multiple mechanisms they have the potential to induce, this thesis first sought to characterize the physical properties of sports compression garments. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted to assess whether sports compression garments worn by an athletic population could influence blood flow and limb volume in a manner similar to that of clinical patients. Progressing from this mechanistic study, two further investigations measured the impact compression socks had on initial performance, recovery and subsequent performance when worn either during or post-exercise. These latter studies incorporated perceptual, psychological, physiological and performance-based outcomes assessed, given the multifactorial mechanisms proposed to underlie the benefits of compression. In combining the findings of these investigations, this thesis aimed to improve the understanding of the potential connections between primary, secondary and tertiary based outcomes so as to better comprehend any changes that are induced by the use of sports compression garments (Figure 1)

description: We study the maximum likelihood degree (ML degree) of toric varieties, known as discrete exponential models in statistics. By introducing scaling coefficients to the monomial parameterization of the toric variety, one can change the ML degree. We show that the ML degree is equal to the degree of the toric variety for generic scalings, while it drops if and only if the scaling vector is in the locus of the principal $A$-determinant. We also illustrate how to compute the ML estimate of a toric variety numerically via homotopy continuation from a scaled toric variety with low ML degree. Throughout, we include examples motivated by algebraic geometry and statistics. We compute the ML degree of rational normal scrolls and a large class of Veronese-type varieties. In addition, we investigate the ML degree of scaled Segre varieties, hierarchical loglinear models, and graphical models.

description: Project Optimus is a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiative to reform dose selection in oncology drug development. Here, we focus on tumor evolution, a broadly observed phenomenon that invariably leads to therapeutic failure and disease relapse, and its effect on the exposure–response (E-R) relationships of oncology drugs. We propose a greater emphasis on tumor evolution during clinical development to facilitate the selection of optimal doses for molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies in oncology.

The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
title: Learning from lizards : the causes and consequences of plasticity
Creators: name: Munch, KL

description: Organisms are shaped by the environment they experience – often through changes in their form and function. This is particularly evident during early development where biotic and abiotic factors can result in both reversible and permanent changes in the expression of behavioural and morphological traits, often with significant fitness consequences. My thesis experimentally investigated how environmental factors impact the expression of traits, with a special focus on learning abilities, using two distinctive reptilian models. Using the family-living lizard, Liopholis whitii, that displays long-term, stable male-female pair bonds and prolonged parent-offspring association, I examined (i) how resource availability experienced during gestation impacted offspring learning ability, (ii) how the social environment, in terms of maternal presence vs absence, impacted the expression of behaviour and learning ability and the consequences of this for offspring growth, and (iii) whether mate familiarity impacted a lizard’s use of different learning strategies (asocial vs social information use). My results showed that early life conditions can significantly influence the expression of key offspring traits but in highly context dependent ways. First, I found that offspring who developed under low gestational resource conditions did better in a foraging learning task, whereas offspring from high resource conditions did better in an anti-predatory task suggesting that early life stressors may evoke trade-offs between the development of different cognitive domains. Second, I found that offspring who developed with their mother learned more quickly, and were bolder, more active and exploratory compared to offspring developed alone, providing novel insights into the role of behavioural plasticity in the early evolution of parental care. Finally, I found that mate familiarity impacted an individual’s propensity to utilise social learning but in more nuanced ways than theory would predict. I complemented these experiments on L. whitii with a broad examination of the links between developmental conditions, form and function using anoles lizards. Specifically, I reared anole hatchlings comprising two types of ecomorphs, Anolis sagrei and A. carolinensis, on different structural habitats to investigate the extent to which plasticity in limb morphology is related to behavioural and locomotor performance. These results suggested an important role of the developmental environment on locomotor performance, but that this was unrelated to associated changes in limb morphology. Overall, my thesis provides insight into the important of the early development for shaping organisms, even if traits are not always functionally linked, and the importance of understanding the context in which traits are expressed.
Search for black holes and other new phenomena in high-multiplicity final states in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV

description: A search for new physics in energetic, high-multiplicity final states has been performed using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 inverse femtobarns. The standard model background, dominated by multijet production, is determined exclusively from control regions in data. No statistically significant excess of events is observed. Model-independent limits on the product of the cross section and the acceptance of a new physics signal in these final states are set and further interpreted in terms of limits on the production of black holes. Semiclassical black holes and string balls with masses as high as 9.5 TeV, and quantum black holes with masses as high as 9.0 TeV are excluded by this search in the context of models with extra dimensions, thus significantly extending limits set at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the LHC Run 1 data.

title: Inflammasome activity in the inflammatory bowel diseases

description: Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are characterised by chronic and recurrent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is regarded as a multifactorial disease process involving a combination of immune system defects and environmental influences, which occur in the genetically predisposed individual. In the gut, the multimolecular complex known as the inflammasome is a key mediator in regulating the host’s immune response to invading pathogens and/or cellular stress. Formation of the inflammasome complex provides a platform for the caspase-1 dependent activation of the potent inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. Dysregulation of the inflammasome complex is thought to contribute to IBD pathogenesis. Quantitative RT-PCR, RNA-sequencing, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy were used to examine the mRNA expression and cellular localisation of inflammasome forming components in colonic biopsies obtained from IBD and control patients. Rosiglitazone induced NLRP6 expression was performed in the colonic cell lines, LS174T and HT29 to investigate the effect of NLRP6 on MUC2 expression. Novel findings from this research include the disease specific upregulation of NLRP6 in active ileal CD. The identification of a NLRP6 expressing goblet cell localised predominantly in the upper portion of the intestinal crypt. Repression of MUC2 expression with increased expression of NLRP6 in the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, LS174T. The localisation of AIM2 to the intraepithelial lymphocytes and the reduced contribution of NLRP3-dependent caspase-1 to bioactive IL-1β production in active UC. In conclusion, NLRP6 can now be considered a potential marker for distinguishing ileal CD from colonic CD and terminal ileum involved UC. Furthermore, results of this study will direct future work examining if there is a therapeutic benefit in switching off NLRP6 in active ileal CD, or blocking both caspase-1 and neutrophil-derived serine protease production of IL-1β in active UC.

description: We propose a generalisation for the notion of the centre of an algebra in the setup of algebras graded by an arbitrary abelian group G. Our generalisation, which we call the G-centre, is designed to control the endomorphism category of the grading shift functors. We show that the G-centre is preserved by gradable derived equivalences given by tilting modules. We also discuss links with existing notions in superalgebra theory and apply our results to derived equivalences of superalgebras.
