description: During a synoptic survey of the North American Nebula region, the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) detected an optical outburst (dubbed PTF10nvg) associated with the previously unstudied flat or rising spectrum infrared source IRAS 20496+4354. The PTF R-band light curve reveals that PTF10nvg brightened by more than 5 mag during the current outburst, rising to a peak magnitude of R PTF ≈ 13.5 in 2010 September. Follow-up observations indicate that PTF10nvg has undergone a similar ~5 mag brightening in the K band and possesses a rich emission-line spectrum, including numerous lines commonly assumed to trace mass accretion and outflows. Many of these lines are blueshifted by ~175 km s–1 from the North American Nebula's rest velocity, suggesting that PTF10nvg is driving an outflow. Optical spectra of PTF10nvg show several TiO/VO band heads fully in emission, indicating the presence of an unusual amount of dense (>1010 cm–3), warm (1500-4000 K) circumstellar material. Near-infrared spectra of PTF10nvg appear quite similar to a spectrum of McNeil's Nebula/V1647 Ori, a young star which has undergone several brightenings in recent decades, and 06297+1021W, a Class I protostar with a similarly reached near-infrared emission line spectrum. While further monitoring is required to fully understand this event, we conclude that the brightening of PTF10nvg is indicative of enhanced accretion and outflow in this Class-I-type protostellar object, similar to the behavior of V1647 Ori in 2004-2005.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: The dynamics of colloidal particles in potential energy landscapes have mainly been investigated theoretically. In contrast, here we discuss the experimental realization of potential energy landscapes with the help of light fields and the observation of the particle dynamics by video microscopy. The experimentally observed dynamics in periodic and random potentials are compared to simulation and theoretical results in terms of, e.g. the mean-squared displacement, the time-dependent diffusion coefficient or the non-Gaussian parameter. The dynamics are initially diffusive followed by intermediate subdiffusive behaviour which again becomes diffusive at long times. How pronounced and extended the different regimes are, depends on the specific conditions, in particular the shape of the potential as well as its roughness or amplitude but also the particle concentration. Here we focus on dilute systems, but the dynamics of interacting systems in external potentials, and thus the interplay between particle-particle and particle-potential interactions, is also mentioned briefly. Furthermore, the observed dynamics of dilute systems resemble the dynamics of concentrated systems close to their glass transition, with which it is compared. The effect of certain potential energy landscapes on the dynamics of individual particles appears similar to the effect of interparticle interactions in the absence of an external potential.

description: Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture. While some patients undergo elective AV fistula takedown post renal transplantation or for cosmesis, majority of patients presenting with life-threatening rupture require emergency surgery for AV fistula takedown with or without maintaining arterial continuity. This study aims to compile our experience with surgical management of various AV fistula complications.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 29 patients who underwent Arteriovenous Fistula takedown in our institute over a period of 3years from May 2021 to May 2024.

Results: The most common cause of fistula takedown in our setup was rupture (n=25, 86.21%). AV fistula takedown was done in all cases (n=29, 100%). Arterial ligation was done in all infected cases (n=22, 75.86%) whereas in non-infected cases arterial continuity was maintained by repair or interposition venous graft. There was no aneurysm or psedoaneurysm formation or limb ischaemia in a follow up period ranging from 1month to 3 years.

Conclusion: Erroneous ways of cannulation and lack of awareness of fistula care were the prime cause of AV fistula complications. Early detection and presentation to healthcare setup could offer a better prognosis for limb salvage in the long term and decrease the incidence of morbidity and mortality.

title: Development of a Site-Specific Labeling Assay to Study the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type III Secretion Translocon in Native Membranes
Creators: name: Mahan, Kyle A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: The type III secretion system (T3SS) is employed by various Gram-negative pathogens to promote infection of host cells. Central to the function of the T3SS is the injectisome, a syringe-like membrane protein complex which allows direct translocation of cytotoxic effector proteins into the cytosol of a host cell. Contact between the needle tip and the plasma membrane of a host cell activates the Type III secretion system, promoting attachment of the bacteria to the host and secretion of T3SS substrates through the injectisome. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the proteins PopB and PopD are translocated through the injectisome to insert into the host membrane, forming a heterooligomeric, membrane-spanning translocon pore. Formation of the translocon provides a channel through which the attached bacteria can then translocate effectors into the host. Although the translocon pore is essential for T3SS-mediated infection, little is known about the structure and topology of PopB and PopD when associated with membranes in vivo.
In this work, I seek to develop a cysteine specific labeling assay to probe the transmembrane topology of PopD upon insertion into the membrane of a host cell. Several PopD variants were produced with single cysteines inserted within putative extracellular or intracellular loop domains. The transmembrane orientation of these cysteines was studied based on their accessibility to PEG maleimide, a cysteine specific, membrane impermeable labeling reagent.
By employing this method, I here characterize a loop domain of PopD that is accessible to host cytosol upon translocon formation. With optimization, the PEGylation assay may be used to further study the structure of PopD, as well as the other translocon protein PopB.

For time-periodic data in $L^q$-spaces, maximal regularity and corresponding a priori estimates for the associated time-periodic solutions are established. More specifically, a Banach space of time-periodic vector fields is identified with the property that the linearized Navier-Stokes operator maps this space homeomorphically onto the $L^q$-space of time-periodic data.

Creators: name: Torfeh, Mahsa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Metasurfaces are arrays of subwavelength meta-atoms that shape waves in a compact and planar form factor. During recent years, metasurfaces have gained a lot of attention due to their compact form factor, easy integration with other devices, multi functionality and straightforward fabrication using conventional CMOS techniques. To provide and evaluate an efficient metasurface, an optimized design, high resolution fabrication and accurate measurement is required. Analysis and design of metasurfaces require accurate methods for modeling their interactions with waves. Conventional modeling techniques assume that metasurfaces are locally periodic structures excited by plane waves, restricting their applicability to gradually varying metasurfaces that are illuminated with plane waves. In this work, we will first provide a novel technique that enables the development of accurate and general models for 1D metasurfaces. This approach can be easily extended to 2D metasurfaces. Due to the remarkable importance of accurate characterization of metasurfaces, we will provide a rigorous method to characterize 1D metasurfaces. Finally, we will provide an accurate approach to fabricate and characterize 2D metasrufaces.
title: Exploring Knockdown Phenotypes and Interactions between ATAD3 Proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Gordon, Eli S
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Mitochondria are required for a diverse array of cellular functions and processes. ATAD3 (ATPase family AAA domain containing protein 3) proteins are newly discovered mitochondrial membrane proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. Homologous to ATAD3A in metazoans, Co-Immunoprecipitation/Mass spectrometry and genomic analysis identified a four ATAD3A homologues in A. thaliana. The four A. thaliana proteins are referred to as ATAD3A1 (At3g03060), ATAD3A2 (At5g16930), ATAD3B1 (At2g18330), and ATAD3B2 (At4g36580). Studies in metazoans indicate that ATAD3A localizes to Mitochondria-ER contact sites and is involved in a variety of processes required for proper mitochondrial function, but ATAD3A proteins are poorly defined in plants. ATAD3A is a mitochondrial membrane protein with unique topology. It comprises an N-terminal DUF (Domain of unknown function) domain that contains two transmembrane sequences the are inserted or interact with both the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes, two coiled-coil domains thought to help in oligomerization, and a region that is exposed to the cytosol, proposed to interact with the ER. It has a C-terminal AAA domain exposed to the mitochondrial matrix. ATAD3 proteins in A. thaliana have undergone two gene-duplication events, resulting in two clades, both of which are required for plant viability. I created artificial microRNA to knockdown expression of ATAD3A1 in the atad3b1 mutant background to assess the growth and mitochondrial phenotypes and found these plants displayed delayed and deficient growth and deformed mitochondria. I utilized Bi-Molecular Complementation Fluorescence and Laser-Scanning Confocal Microscopy to assess oligomeric patterns of A. thaliana ATAD3 proteins in vivo and discovered that ATAD3 proteins hetero-oligomerize with each other. I also created multiple constructs encoding ATAD3A1 fusion proteins to elucidate the amino acid sequence required to target ATAD3A1 to the mitochondria, and ATAD3A1 fusions with TurboID to identify protein-protein interactions using proximity-based labeling.

description: The paper reviews research on second language (L2) reading, focusing on the various factors involved, i.e., orthography, vocabulary, grammar, background knowledge, and metacognitive strategies. Based on the overview of L2 reading research, how grammar makes a unique contribution to L2 reading comprehension is emphasized. The discussion includes analysis of the distinctive roles served by background knowledge and linguistic knowledge, the comparative roles of L1 reading ability and L2 proficiency, and the relative weight of vocabulary and grammar in accounting for L2 reading comprehension. The paper concludes with issues for further consideration and suggestions for future studies on the relationship between grammatical knowledge and L2 reading comprehension.
title: Comparing and Improving the Design of Physical Activity Data Visualizations
Creators: name: Frackleton, Peter M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, and older adults are at highest risk of being diagnosed with heart disease. Consistent physical exercise is an effective means of deterring onset of heart disease, and physical activity tracking devices can inspire greater activity in older adults. However, physical activity tracking device abandonment is quite common due to limitations on what can be learned from the activity data that is collected. Better data visualization of physical data presents an opportunity to surpass these limitations. In this thesis, a task-based human subject study was performed with three different data visualizations to gain insight into how the format of physical activity data visualizations impact older adults’ abilities to infer meaning from physical activity data. Participants (n = 30) interacted with a prototype data visualization as well as two data visualizations from popular fitness tracking applications (Fitbit and Strava) and used these visualizations to complete 11 tasks. Results from these tasks show each visualization was able to facilitate users answer some task questions effectively, though no visualizations exhibited strong performance across all tasks. From the successes and shortcomings of each visualization, three key design recommendations for the design of data visualizations for physical activity data were made: 1) make exact values available, 2) summarize data at multiple timescales, and 3) ensure accessibility for the entire population of users.

description: Sterile neutrino dark matter of mass O(1-10) keV decays into an active neutrino and an X-ray photon, and the non-observation of the corresponding X-ray line requires the sterile neutrino to be more long-lived than estimated based on the seesaw formula : the longevity problem. We show that, if one or more of the B-L Higgs fields are charged under a flavor symmetry (or discrete R symmetry), the split mass spectrum for the right-handed neutrinos as well as the required longevity is naturally realized. We provide several examples in which the predicted the X-ray flux is just below the current bound.

description: Polymers have appealing optical, biochemical, and mechanical qualities, including broadband transparency, ease of functionalization, and biocompatibility. However, their low refractive indices have precluded wavelength-scale optical confinement and nanophotonic applications in polymers. Here, we introduce a suspended polymer photonic crystal (SPPC) architecture that enables the implementation of nanophotonic structures typically limited to high-index materials. Using the SPPC platform, we demonstrate nanophotonic band-edge filters, waveguides, and nanocavities featuring quality ($Q$) factors exceeding $2,300$ and mode volumes ($V_{mode}$) below \textbf{$1.7(λ/n)^{3}$}. The unprecedentedly high $Q/V_{mode}$ ratio results in a spectrally selective enhancement of radiative transitions of embedded emitters via the cavity Purcell effect with an enhancement factor exceeding 100. Moreover, the SPPC architecture allows straightforward integration of nanophotonic networks, shown here by a waveguide-coupled cavity drop filter with sub-nanometer spectral resolution. The nanoscale optical confinement in polymer promises new applications ranging from optical communications to organic opto-electronics, and nanophotonic polymer sensors.

title: Activation of Nrf2 at Critical Windows of Development Alters Protein S-Glutathionylation in the Zebrafish Embryo (Danio rerio)
Creators: name: Severance, Emily G
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Perturbation of cellular redox homeostasis to a more oxidized state has been linked to adverse human health effects such as diabetes and cancer. However, the impact of altering the regulation of redox homeostasis during development is not fully understood. Specifically, this project investigates the role of the Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway and its effect on glutathione (GSH; cellular redox buffer) at critical windows of development. To explore this, we used zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) as a model due to the function of GSH and the Nrf2 being conserved among vertebrates. We exposed zebrafish embryos to three Nrf2 activators: two antioxidant enhancing molecules: sulforaphane (SFN; 40 µM) and Dimethyl fumarate (DFM; 7µM) as well as the pro-oxidant tert-Butylhydroquinone (tBHQ; 1µM) for 6 hours at critical windows development: 24, 48, 72 hours post fertilization (hpf). Following exposure, we visualized Nrf2 protein levels and glutathionylation rates using immunohistochemistry and confocal imaging. We found that changes in Nrf2 expression were dependent on the tissue type with there being significant changes in Nrf2 when looking at the pancreatic beta cells. Also in the beta cells, exposure to SFN, tBHQ, and DMF were found to increase Nrf2 translocation into the nucleus. Most notably, all three Nrf2 activators significantly altered glutathionylation levels depending on the time-point the zebrafish were exposed. SFN and tBHQ were also found to significantly increase glutathionylation at 48 and 72hpf, but led to a significant decrease at 96hpf while DMF increased glutathionylation at all three time-points. Interestingly, there was little correlation between Nrf2 protein levels and glutathionylation, but zebrafish with a mutated Nrf2 did have significantly different glutathionylation rates than the wild type fish. This suggests that oxidative stress is not the sole regulator of glutathionylation and instead Nrf2 may also be regulating glutathionylation through GSH storage. My data indicate that the effects of Nrf2 activation on Nrf2 levels and glutathionylation depend on the timing of exposure to the perturbing chemicals and the tissue type. Finding these windows of development where redox homeostasis is most sensitive in humans can allow for possible preventative and/or protective measures to oxidative stress during development.

description: The media plays a powerful role in shaping health-related attitudes and behaviours. We investigated media reports about children's independent mobility (CIM) and associations with parental attitudes towards CIM. CIM-related media reports (newspaper, online, television) during a 3-month period were extracted from two databases. Concurrent parental attitudes were collected via telephone interview from 1779 parents of children aged 9–15 years. Media reports were overwhelmingly negative: 94% mentioned only risks and 6% mentioned benefits. There was no association between media reports and parental attitudes. Parental CIM attitudes are often complex and pervasive and may not be shifted by media coverage alone.
title: Factors Affecting Sensory Acceptance of Thickened Liquids Used in Dysphagia Management
Creators: name: Cox, Allison N
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Between 4-16% of adults in the United States have experienced difficulty swallowing at some point during their lives. Difficulty swallowing, or clinically referred to as dysphagia, poses increased concern when drinking beverages. While no treatment is currently available, it is often recommended that liquids be thickened to improve the safety of swallowing and prevent liquids from being aspirated in the lungs. However, thickened liquids are poorly accepted by individuals with dysphagia. Taste and flavor suppression has been shown in various thickened liquid matrices, but the mechanisms for understanding these changes in perception are quite complex. Additionally, literature focused on dysphagic patients’ experiences with different types of beverages and clinicians’ experiences with thickening beverages is minimal.
The study had two main goals: 1) explore how sensory properties including texture, taste, and flavor affect acceptance of specific thickened liquids and 2) determine challenges clinicians experience with thickening different beverages. This was achieved through a quantitative and qualitative online survey administered to clinicians (n=83; 96% speech-language pathologist) in the United States who work with dysphagia patients. Free-response questions related to thickening issues highlighted challenges with carbonation, temperature, and dairy products. Coffee, water, soda, milk, and oral nutritional supplements were the most complained about thickened beverages, respectively. Disliking of texture was a common complaint for each beverage likely due to the dissimilarity to the unthickened version and challenges associated with thickening. Off-flavors were reported for each beverage and were the most present in water. Additionally, clinicians noted the thickened version of the beverage typically has less flavor. To increase the acceptance of thickened liquids, clinicians believe the texture and flavor need significant improvements. Interdisciplinary work in the field of food science is needed to create a smoother consistency, more stable thickness across time and temperature, and improved flavor/taste to develop more enjoyable beverages for dysphagic patients.

title: Testing the Impact of a Freshwater Wetland Restoration on Water Table Elevation and Soil Moisture using a Parametric Groundwater Modeling Approach
Creators: name: Ito, Erika T
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Wetlands are now recognized for the many social, environmental, ecological, and economic benefits they provide. They improve water quality, support biodiversity, abate floods and storms, and provide local recreational areas. Historically, many wetlands have been drained or altered for residential, commercial, or agricultural use. Effective wetland restoration projects reestablish ecosystem services and mitigate legacy effects of land use change to create self-sustaining systems. However, a persisting lack of scientifically-vetted methodological and evaluation guidelines in the field of restoration ecology has caused many restoration efforts to fail to restore natural wetland hydrologic conditions. By definition, wetlands must be saturated, permanently or seasonally, for durations long or frequent enough to support hydrophilic vegetation. It is therefore critical in planning restoration projects to focus on creating shallow water table conditions and adequate soil moisture retention in the vadose zone.
This study quantitatively assesses the efficacy of a process-based ecological restoration technique that has been implemented at a retired cranberry bog in Manomet, Massachusetts. This restoration approach involved the creation of microtopography, ditch filling, and redistribution and mixing of the shallow substrate. The restoration goal for these actions was to bring the water table closer to the surface, increase soil moisture in the root zone, and increase habitat variability at the site. I examined the potential impact of these restorative techniques on groundwater and soil moisture dynamics. I conducted a parametric study using variably saturated groundwater flow modeling, examine the influence of specific restoration parameters (the near surface mixing ratio, anisotropy, and microtopographic geometry) on the restoration outcome. I tested the sensitivity of the water table and soil moisture to alterations in the near surface geologic structure resulting from a pit-and-mound restoration. I hope these findings will inform and optimize these practices for future restoration projects.

description: The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect has been recently discovered in experiment using thin-film topological insulator with ferromagnetic ordering and strong spin-orbit coupling. Here we investigate the spin degree of freedom of a QAH insulator and uncover a fundamental phenomenon that the edge states exhibit topologically stable spin texture in the boundary when a chiral-like symmetry is present. This result shows that edge states are chiral in both the orbital and spin degrees of freedom, and the chiral edge spin texture corresponds to the bulk topological states of the QAH insulator. We also study the potential applications of the edge spin texture in designing topological-state-based spin devices which might be applicable to future spintronic technologies.

description: This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. Our follow-up data have confirmed a polar candidate from Paper VII and determined tentative periods for three of the newly identified CVs. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II is presented as well as a link to an online table of all known CVs from both photometry and spectroscopy that will continue to be updated as future data appear.

description: Background: We performed a case-control study to characterise infants with “prolonged transitional hypoglycaemia”. Methods: Cases were born ≥36 weeks’ gestation; had ≥1 hypoglycaemic episode <72h and ≥72h; received ongoing treatment for hypoglycaemia ≥72h; and were without congenital disorders or acute illness. Cases were compared to controls born ≥36 weeks’ with brief transitional hypoglycaemia, resolving <72h. Results: 39/471 infants screened met case deﬁnition: 71.8% were male, 61.5% were small-for-gestational-age (SGA), and most were admitted <6h. Compared to controls (N=75), key risk factors for prolonged transitional hypoglycaemia were SGA (OR=6.4, 95%CI 2.7–15.1), severe/recurrent hypoglycaemia <24h (OR=16.7, 95%CI 4.5–16.1), intravenous glucose bolus <24h (OR=26.6, 95%CI 9.4–75.1) and maximum glucose delivery rate <48h of ≥8mg/kg/min (OR=25.5, 95%CI 7.7–84.1). Conclusions: Infants with prolonged transitional hypoglycaemia are predominantly male, SGA and have early severe/ recurrent hypoglycaemia requiring glucose boluses and high glucose delivery rates in the ﬁrst 24–48h.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.
Report on the optimization procedure and technical layout of efficient moderator assemblies
Creators: name: ARIES WP4 Members
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This works reports the optimisation procedure and the numerical investigation of the Cold Source moderator in the spallation neutron source SINQ at PSI, Switzerland, one of the main European infrastructures for neutron-based material science. The investigation confirms that the energy deposition from the SINQ target is not large enough to operate the Cold Source moderator just by using the heat deposit by the secondary particles produced by the beam. This is an important outcome as it paves the way to a new moderator design, which would increase the efficiency of SINQ by up to 50 % as theoretical studies predicted, without increasing the energy consumption. Guidelines for a new moderator design are presented as well in this work. It leads to the conclusion that the performance of the new moderator should be independent of the beam current as it has several advantages. A first concept of such a moderator is presented, which was already optimized regarding its gain in neutron flux but needs to be studied by CFD simulations. Plans to use a more accurate multiphase model with the optimized geometries are considered.

Hypothesis Testing on Invariant Subspaces of the Symmetric Group, Part I - Quantum Sanov's Theorem and Arbitrarily Varying Sources

description: We report a proof of the quantum Sanov Theorem by elementary application of basic facts about representations of the symmetric group, together with a complete characterization of the optimal error exponent in a situation where the null hypothesis is given by an arbitrarily varying quantum source instead. Our approach differs from previous ones in two points: First, it supports a reasoning inspired by the method of types. Second, the measurement scheme we propose to distinguish the two alternatives not only does that job asymptotically perfect, but also yields additional information about the null hypothesis. An example of that is given. The measurement is composed of projections onto permutation-invariant subspaces, thus providing a direct link between one of the most basic tasks in quantum information on the one hand side and fundamental objects in representation theory on the other. We additionally connect to representation theory by proving a relation between Kostka numbers and quantum states, and to state estimation via a generalization of a well-known spectral estimation theorem to non-i.i.d. sequences.
