description: A network of $N$ elements is studied in terms of a deterministic globally coupled map which can be chaotic. There exists a range of values for the parameters of the map where the number of different macroscopic configurations is very large, and there is violation of selfaveraging. The time averages of functions, which depend on a single element, computed over a time $T$, have probability distributions that do not collapse to a delta function, for increasing $T$ and $N$. This happens for both chaotic and regular motion, i.e. positive or negative Lyapunov exponent.

Identification of a filamin isoform enriched at the ends of stress fibers in chicken embryo fibroblasts
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Filamin (actin-binding protein) is a cytoskeletal protein that crosslinks actin filaments in vitro. Filamin is thought to be involved in a variety of cell types in stabilizing actin networks, and in platelets it may play a role in linking actin to the membrane. In this report, we describe a monoclonal antibody (Mab 6E) that was used to immunoprecipitate an isoform of filamin from extracts of chicken fibroblasts revealed an unusual pattern: while other filamin antibodies stained the entire length of stress fibers, the Mab 6E staining was predominantly at the ends of stress fibers. In double-labeling experiments, the distribution of the Mab 6E antigen was found to be strikingly similar to that of alpha-actinin. Mab 6E staining was associated, in part, with focal adhesions, which are sites of actin-membrane attachment. Unlike other focal adhesion proteins, such as vinculin and talin, this filamin isoform is apparently not localized evenly throughout the entire area of adhesion, being absent from or greatly reduced in the distal portion of the area. The Mab 6E antigen was identified as filamin by immunological crossreactivity with a panel of antifilamin monoclonals as well as with a polyclonal anti-filamin. The Mab 6E isoform, however, was found to differ from the major form of filamin both by one-dimensional peptide analysis and slightly slower migration on SDS-containing gels. The Mab 6E antigen was also detected by immunofluorescence in the Z-lines of isolated adult myofibrils. These results suggest that chicken fibroblasts may express different isoforms of filamin that could have specialized roles within the cell.
Localization of intracellular proteins at acetylcholine receptor clusters induced by electric fields in Xenopus muscle cells

name: ROCHLIN, M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Electric fields cause acetylcholine receptor (AChR) patches to form on the cathodal sides of cultured muscle cells. These patches are stable for several hours following cessation of an electric field treatment, indicating that the receptors are anchored to the cluster sites. Furthermore, at the ultrastructural level, AChR patches induced by electric fields are marked by an accumulation of extracellular matrix material and a sarcolemmal density. Thus, these AChR patches are similar to those induced by other stimuli, including nerve, polycation-coated beads, and the tissue culture substratum. Proteins that may be involved in anchoring AChRs have been colocalized with AChR patches induced by the latter three stimuli, but not at AChR patches induced by electric fields. In this study, we demonstrate that three putative anchoring proteins, 43K (K = 10(3) Mr) protein, 58K protein and talin, are associated with field-induced AChR patches. We also show that these proteins persist at field-induced AChR patches following removal of the field, indicating that they are stabilized at the AChR patch. Our data are consistent with the possibility that these proteins contribute to the stabilization of AChRs at patches induced by the electric field. Since 43K, 58K and talin are intracellular proteins, and therefore could not undergo field-induced lateral electrophoresis, our observations support the notion that the electric field triggers the formation of an AChR-stabilizing specialization.

The distribution of distinct integrins in focal contacts is determined by the substratum composition

Year: 1989

description: The distribution of two integrins, the fibronectin receptor and the vitronectin receptor, has been explored in an endothelium-derived cell line plated onto various substrata. On a fibronectin substratum, in the presence of serum, these cells develop focal contacts that contain the fibronectin receptor, whereas the vitronectin receptor is diffusely distributed over the cell surface. Conversely, cells plated onto vitronectin-coated coverslips concentrate only the vitronectin receptor within focal contacts. The accumulation of the vitronectin receptor within focal contacts also occurs when the cells are plated on uncoated coverslips but in the presence of serum. Therefore, we conclude that under normal culture conditions (i.e. in serum-containing media), the vitronectin receptor is the predominant form of integrin involved in substratum adhesion. This conclusion is supported by experiments in which cells were cultured on fibronectin-coated coverslips in the presence of serum. Initially these cells developed focal contacts containing only the fibronectin receptor. Within several hours, however, there was a progressive replacement of focal contacts containing the fibronectin receptor by focal contacts expressing the vitronectin receptor. After approximately 12 h in culture, most cells contained focal contacts expressing only the vitronectin receptor. Focal contacts containing either the fibronectin or vitronectin receptor were both associated with the termini of stress fibres and contained the proteins talin and vinculin. These observations lead us to propose that the cell does not discriminate between these different integrins when assembling the cytoskeletal components at the cytoplasmic face of focal contacts.

description: The chemical composition of an exoplanet is a key ingredient in constraining its formation history. Iron is the most abundant transition metal, but has never been directly detected in an exoplanet due to its highly refractory nature. KELT-9b (HD 195689b) is the archetype of the class of ultra-hot Jupiters that straddle the transition between stars and gas-giant exoplanets and serve as distinctive laboratories for studying atmospheric chemistry, because of its high equilibrium temperature of 4050 +/- 180 K. These properties imply that its atmosphere is a tightly constrained chemical system that is expected to be nearly in chemical equilibrium and cloud-free. It was previously predicted that the spectral lines of iron will be detectable in the visible range of wavelengths. At these high temperatures, iron and several other transition metals are not sequestered in molecules or cloud particles and exist solely in their atomic forms. Here, we report the direct detection of atomic neutral and singly-ionized iron (Fe and Fe+), and singly-ionized titanium (Ti+) in KELT-9b via the cross-correlation technique applied to high-resolution spectra obtained during the primary transit of the exoplanet.

description: Dark matter candidates arising in models of particle physics incorporating weak scale supersymmetry may produce detectable signals through their annihilation into neutrinos, photons, or positrons. A large number of relevant experiments are planned or underway. The `logically possible' parameter space is unwieldy. By working in the framework of minimal supergravity, we can survey the implications of the experiments for each other, as well as for direct searches, collider searches, low-energy experiments, and naturalness in a transparent fashion. We find that a wide variety of experiments provide interesting probes. Particularly promising signals arise in the mixed gaugino-Higgsino region. This region is favored by low-energy particle physics constraints and arises naturally from minimal supergravity due to the focus point mechanism. Indirect dark matter searches and traditional particle searches are highly complementary. In cosmologically preferred models, if there are charged superpartners with masses below 250 GeV, then some signature of supersymmetry must appear before the LHC begins operation.

description: This thesis intends to demonstrate the applicability of Lonergan's Insight Method to intelligence analysis by seeking to answer three questions: How can the field of Conflict Analysis and Resolution contribute to analytic efforts of the Intelligence Community? How effective are current alternative and structured analytic techniques in evaluating contemporary intelligence questions? Is there a way to supplement analytic tradecraft to facilitate creative assessments that yield progressive and cumulative intelligence? Grounded in Richard Heuer’s Psychology of Intelligence Analysis and work on cognitive limits, this thesis examines the vulnerability of the human mind to cognitive error and evaluates the alternative analytic techniques designed to mitigate those errors, proposing Bernard Lonergan’s Insight Method as an alternative approach to better capture what it is we do when we analyze intelligence.
The frictional force on sliding drops

description: The dynamic frictional force between solid surfaces in relative motion differs from the static force needed to initiate motion, but this distinction is not usually thought to occur for liquid drops moving on a solid. Recent experiments [Gao, et al., Nature Phys. {\bf 114}, 191 (2018)] have challenged this view, and claim to observe an analog of solid-on-solid friction for sliding drops. We use molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the forces that moving liquids exert on solids in several situations. In contrast to the indirect techniques required in laboratory experiments, the forces involved in friction are directly accessible in these calculations. We find that, aside from possible inertial effects due to the abrupt initiation of motion and aging effects for unconfined drops, the frictional forces are constant in time.

description: Regulating the stock market is a tremendous undertaking, and it is vital to its safety and success. Many new regulatory issues have arisen along with the prevalence of electronic trading. One of these issues is known as maker-taker fees, which are essentially a means for stock exchanges to incentivize traders to offer liquidity at their venue. These fees were initially regulated at the beginning of the rise of electronic trading, but many argue this regulation needs to be updated to keep up with the practices that have evolved regarding the use of the fees. This thesis describes an agent-based model with minimally intelligent traders interacting in an artificial stock market with maker-taker fees. The purpose is to shed light on the effects of maker-taker fees as well as provide insight into the usefulness of agent-based modeling as a supplemental tool for regulatory decision-making. Results from the study show that maker-taker fees positively affect traditional measurements of market quality, and that minimal intelligence is a viable assumption for traders when modelling the stock market as long as a realistic market structure is present. This research aims to be a step toward incorporating agent-based models into exploratory groundwork for regulatory decision-makers at the Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial market regulatory agencies.

description: Habitat fragmentation removes original habitat and creates a matrix of new habitat with remnants of original habitat embedded within. Small mammals such as Peromyscus leucopus, Blarina brevicauda, Microtus pennsylvanicus, Zapus hudsonius, and Tamias striatus may not be able to cross the matrix habitat to access continuous forest habitat or other forest fragments if the amount of cover is insufficient, because the benefits of acquiring new resources do not justify the predation risk. A combination of sampling techniques, including live trapping, giving-up density (GUD) trials, plant surveys, and camera trapping were employed to assess the relative importance of habitat type (fragment, matrix, or continuous forest), vegetative composition and structure, demographic attributes, fragment size, and matrix distance in determining foraging behavior over two summers. Trapping and GUD indicate where animals are foraging, and GUD gives a more specific measure of the relative amount of time spent in each habitat. Predator and plant surveys and camera trapping illuminate possible drivers of this behavior. Results indicated that habitat type most strongly affected animals; most species displayed some aversion to foraging in the matrix as opposed to the fragments and forest (p<0.0001). Plant diversity was significantly different between fragment and matrix habitat (p<0.0001). Removing matrix structure further delineates fragment, forest, and matrix (p<0.0001). Year also had a strong effect, with significantly fewer captures and higher GUD’s in 2012 as opposed to 2013 (p<0.05). Fragment size and isolation did not have a significant effect on foraging behavior (p>0.1). These habitat attributes, along with the risk of predation, influenced the demographic profile of P. leucopus individuals that use fragment and matrix habitat. Results suggest that maintaining connectivity and structural complexity in fragmented habitats are most beneficial to small mammals.

description: Boundary conditions for unconventional superconducting order parameter are obtained on the basis of a microscopic theory. The upper critical field in a superconducting film is examined for unconventional superconductors with two-component order parameter and is compared with the case of accidental degeneracy. It is shown, that for both cases temperature dependences of the upper critical field in a superconducting film may depend substantially on the quality of boundaries, and under certain conditions have a kink due to the influence of film boundaries. The location of a kink point appears to be dependent on a film thickness. If for a massive sample there is another reason for the existance of a kink, the interplay of the reasons may lead to a specific behaviour of a kink point location as a function of a temperature or a film thickness. A new test is suggested permitting to distinguish between $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ types of pairing in a hexagonal superconductor near $T_c$.

Stability of microtubule attachment to metaphase kinetochores in PtK1 cells

description: Kinetochore microtubules are known to be differentially stable to a variety of microtubule depolymerization agents compared to the non-kinetochore polar microtubules, but the dynamics of microtubule attachment to the kinetochore is currently controversial. We have examined the stability of kinetochore microtubules in metaphase PtK1 spindles at 23 degrees C when microtubule assembly is abruptly blocked with the drug nocodazole. Metaphase cells were incubated in medium containing 34 microM nocodazole for various times before fixation and processing either for immunofluorescence light microscopy or serial-section electron microscopy. Microtubules not associated with kinetochore fibers disappeared completely in less than 1 min. Kinetochore fibers persisted and shortened, as the spindle poles moved close to the chromosomes over a 10-20 min interval. During this shortening process, the number of kinetochore microtubules decreased slowly. The mean number of kinetochore microtubules was 24 +/- 5 in control cells and zero in cells incubated with nocodazole for 20 min. The half-time of microtubule attachment to the kinetochore was approximately 7.5 min. These results show that when microtubule assembly is blocked, kinetochore microtubules shorten more slowly and persist about 10 times longer than the labile polar microtubules. If kinetochore microtubules shorten by tubulin dissociation at their plus-ends like the non-kinetochore polar microtubules, then the microtubule surface lattice must be able to translocate through the kinetochore attachment site without frequent detachment occurring.

description: We propose an eigenvector-based formalism for the calibration of radio interferometer arrays. In the presence of a strong dominant point source, the complex gains of the array can be obtained by taking the first eigenvector of the visibility matrix. We use the stable principle component analysis (SPCA) method to help separate outliers and noise from the calibrator signal to improve the performance of the method. This method can be applied with poorly known beam model of the antenna, and is insensitive to outliers or imperfections in the data, and has low computational complexity. It thus is particularly suitable for the initial calibration of the array, which can serve as the initial point for more accurate calibrations. We demonstrate this method by applying it to the cylinder pathfinder of the Tianlai experiment, which aims to measure the dark energy equation of state using the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) features in the large scale structure by making intensity mapping observation of the redshifted 21~cm emission of the neutral hydrogen (HI). The complex gain of the array elements and the beam profile in the East-West direction (short axis of the cylinder) are successfully obtained by applying this method to the transit data of bright radio sources.

description: In the third chapter of the text Excellence in Business Communication, authors John V. Thill, Courtland L. Bovee, Wendy Keller and K. M. Moran talk about aspects of intercultural communication in a professional environment. The chapter Communicating in a World of Diversity briefly describes some of the key elements of intercultural communication such as opportunities, challenges, ethnocentrism and stereotyping. The authors argue that diversity is something that includes all the characteristics that define people as an individual and an individual must communicate with people from different cultures own throughout their career (Thill, Bovee, Keller, & Moran, p. 67). The chapter focuses on providing extensive guidelines to the students for adapting to any type of business culture. By analyzing the chapter and comparing it with the MGMT2601:0 Introduction to Business Communication course outline, it is seen that the authors have pointed out issues in intercultural communication and has set some specific guidelines to improve intercultural communication skills and it serves one of the prime resolutions of the course which is to teach the students to consider some theoretical, cultural and ethical bases of effective communication, which might be obscured from a casual skimming of the chapter. This is important because these qualities are often expected from students and graduates in a professional intercultural business environment.

description: The supersymmetric flavor problem may be solved if the first and second generation scalars are heavy (with multi-TeV masses) and scalars with large Higgs couplings are light (with sub-TeV masses). We show that such an inverted spectrum may be generated radiatively; that is, from initial conditions where all scalar masses are multi-TeV at some high scale, those with large Higgs couplings may be driven asymptotically to the weak scale in the infra-red. The lightness of third generation scalars is therefore a direct consequence of the heaviness of third generation fermions, and fine-tuning is avoided even though the fundamental scale of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters is multi-TeV. We investigate this possibility in the framework of the usual Yukawa quasi-fixed point solutions. The required high scale boundary conditions are found to be simple and highly predictive. This scenario also alleviates the supersymmetric CP and Polonyi problems.

Cluster Algorithms For Anisotropic Quantum Spin Models

description: We present cluster Monte Carlo algorithms for the $XYZ$ quantum spin models. In the special case of $S=1/2$, the new algorithm can be viewed as a cluster algorithm for the 8-vertex model. As an example, we study the $S=1/2$ $XY$ model in two dimensions with a representation in which the quantization axis lies in the easy plane. We find that the numerical autocorrelation time for the cluster algorithm remains of the order of unity and does not show any significant dependence on the temperature, the system size, or the Trotter number. On the other hand, the autocorrelation time for the conventional algorithm strongly depends on these parameters and can be very large. The use of improved estimators for thermodynamic averages further enhances the efficiency of the new algorithms.

description: We present a detailed determination and analysis of 3D stellar mass distribution of the Galactic disk for mono-age populations using a sample of 0.93 million main-sequence turn-off and subgiant stars from the LAMOST Galactic Surveys. Our results show (1) all stellar populations younger than 10\,Gyr exhibit strong disk flaring, which is accompanied with a dumpy vertical density profile that is best described by a $sech^n$ function with index depending on both radius and age; (2) Asymmetries and wave-like oscillations are presented in both the radial and vertical direction, with strength varying with stellar populations; (3) As a contribution by the Local spiral arm, the mid-plane stellar mass density at solar radius but 400--800\,pc (3--6$^\circ$) away from the Sun in the azimuthal direction has a value of $0.0594\pm0.0008$\,$M_\odot$/pc$^3$, which is 0.0164\,$M_\odot$/pc$^3$ higher than previous estimates at the solar neighborhood. The result causes doubts on the current estimate of local dark matter density; (4) The radial distribution of surface mass density yields a disk scale length evolving from $\sim$4\,kpc for the young to $\sim$2\,kpc for the old populations. The overall population exhibits a disk scale length of $2.48\pm0.05$\,kpc, and a total stellar mass of $3.6(\pm0.1)\times10^{10}$\,$M_\odot$ assuming $R_{\odot}=8.0$\,kpc, and the value becomes $4.1(\pm0.1)\times10^{10}$\,$M_\odot$ if $R_{\odot}=8.3$\,kpc; (5) The disk has a peak star formation rate ({\rm SFR}) changing from 6--8\,Gyr at the inner to 4--6\,Gyr ago at the outer part, indicating an inside-out assemblage history. The 0--1\,Gyr population yields a recent disk total {\rm SFR} of $1.96\pm0.12$\,$M_\odot$/yr.

Didactical Determinants In Mechanical Design Learning With Using Modeling And Simulation Tool
Creators: name: Youssoupha Gueye, Hamid Abouchadi, Mourad Abouelala, Mouradtaha Janan
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Didactical Determinants, Modeling Tools, Mechanical Design Learning

description: This paper presents the results of a study on use of modeling and simulation tools in mechanical design learning. Indeed, the introduction of modeling and simulation tools in teaching-learning activities has opened up new opportunities for learning mechanical design.Modeling tools are used for the development of virtual models intended for sizing and optimisation, and/or validating the behaviour and performance of a system, component, or process. However, their use in the learning activities of mechanical design gives rise sometimesto many problems to student. These problems are often related to the educational use of these tools, the ergonomics of their interfaces, and their interaction with student. This research presents the main results of a quantitative study on the learning of mechanical design. A survey using a questionnaire was conducted among 67 first-year tertiary students. The results of the study identified didactical determinants that promote the efficiency of student mechanical design learning using modelling and simulation tools.
Day-Night and Energy Dependence of MSW Solar Neutrinos for Maximal Mixing

description: It has been stated in the literature that the case of maximal mixing angle for ν_e leads to no day-night effect for solar neutrinos and an energy independent flux suppression of 1/2. While the case of maximal mixing angle and Δm^2 in the MSW range does lead to suppression of the electron neutrinos reaching the earth from the sun by P_S=1/2, the situation is different for neutrinos that have passed through the earth. We make the pedagogical point that, just as with smaller mixing angles, the earth regenerates the |ν_1> state from the predominantly |ν_2 > state reaching the earth, leading to coherent interference effects. This regeneration can lead to a day-night effect and an energy dependence of the suppression of solar electron neutrinos, even for the case of maximal mixing. For large mixing angles, the energy dependence of the day-night asymmetry depends heavily on Delta m^2. With a sufficiently sensitive measurement of the day-night effect, this energy dependence could be used to distinguish among the large mixing angle solutions of the solar neutrino problem.

description: This paper derives the anisotropic superexchange interactions from a Hubbard model for excitations within the copper 3d band and the oxygen 2p band of the undoped insulating cuprates. We extend the recent calculation of Yildirim et al. [Phys. Rev. B {\bf VV}, pp, 1995] in order to include the most general on--site Coulomb interactions (including those which involve more than two orbitals) when two holes occupy the same site. Our general results apply when the oxygen ions surrounding the copper ions form an octahedron which has tetragonal symmetry (but may be rotated as in lanthanum cuprate). For the tetragonal cuprates we obtain an easy--plane anisotropy in good agreement with experimental values. We predict the magnitude of the small in--plane aniso

description: We investigate higher order effects in the nonrelativistic expansion of lattice QCD on the heavy-light meson decay constants and some other quantities in order to understand the truncation error of NRQCD. While our numerical results have large $O(a)$ and $O(α_s)$ errors due to the use of Wilson light quark action and the tree-level matching, we find that the truncation error of higher order relativistic corrections are adequately small around the mass of the $b$ quark. We also present a perturbatively matched results through 1-loop level without operator mixing effects.
