description: Abstract: Background: The archaeological incidence of ancient human faecal material provides a rare opportunity to explore the taxonomic composition and metabolic capacity of the ancestral human intestinal microbiome (IM). Here, we report the results of the shotgun metagenomic analyses of an ancient South African palaeo-faecal specimen. Methods: Following the recovery of a single desiccated palaeo-faecal specimen from Bushman Rock Shelter in Limpopo Province, South Africa, we applied a multi-proxy analytical protocol to the sample. The extraction of ancient DNA from the specimen and its subsequent shotgun metagenomic sequencing facilitated the taxonomic and metabolic characterisation of this ancient human IM. Results: Our results indicate that the distal IM of the Neolithic ‘Middle Iron Age’ (c. AD 1460) Bantu-speaking individual exhibits features indicative of a largely mixed forager-agro-pastoralist diet. Subsequent comparison with the IMs of the Tyrolean Iceman (Ötzi) and contemporary Hadza hunter-gatherers, Malawian agro-pastoralists and Italians reveals that this IM precedes recent adaptation to ‘Western’ diets, including the consumption of coffee, tea, chocolate, citrus and soy, and the use of antibiotics, analgesics and also exposure to various toxic environmental pollutants. Conclusions: Our analyses reveal some of the causes and means by which current human IMs are likely to have responded to recent dietary changes, prescription medications and environmental pollutants, providing rare insight into human IM evolution following the advent of the Neolithic c. 12,000 years ago.

description: The strongly coupled electron liquid provides a unique opportunity to study the complex interplay of strong coupling with quantum degeneracy effects and thermal excitations. To this end, we carry out extensive \textit{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations to compute the static structure factor, interaction energy, density response function, and the corresponding static local field correction in the range of $20\leq r_s \leq 100$ and $0.5\leq θ\leq 4$. We subsequently compare these data to several dielectric approximations, and find that different schemes are capable to reproduce different features of the PIMC results at certain parameters. Moreover, we provide a comprehensive data table of interaction energies and compare those to two recent parametrizations of the exchange-correlation free energy, where they are available. Finally, we briefly touch upon the possibility of a charge-density wave. The present study is complementary to previous investigations of the uniform electron gas in the warm dense matter regime and, thus, further completes our current picture of this fundamental model system at finite temperature. All PIMC data are available online.
title: Travels In Ireland

description: “Travels In Ireland” is a creative non-fiction essay with elements of travel writing. It follows my journey around Ireland, including Killarney, Dingle, Kell’s Bay, Castle Desmond, Galway, the Aran Islands and Coole Park. This essay is in communication with other travel writing pieces as I experiment with the genre. In preparation I read many different examples of travel writing including Travels with Charley, Stones of Aran, and On the Shoreline of Knowledge. My initial plan for this project involved studying cultural differences and experimenting with the genre of travel writing. While I began this project without a clear picture of what it would become, it has developed a main theme of preservation and lost history. This both applies to larger historical artifacts and our own lives. In my readings of travel writings I discovered that while location and facts were important aspects, the best pieces relied on the actual experiences of people. Instead of being only about the place, it is a personal essay and tool for thoughtfulness as well. Through the use of folklore, history, and my own personal experiences I explored the differences in culture between Ireland and the United States. Folklore in this essay is used to demonstrate what we remember about the past, both fictional and factual. History contained in this essay ranges from ancient to recent, as did the sites I visited. The historical points out things about our own lives that perhaps we forget to notice or preserve. Finally, and most importantly, this is a story about my grandma and me and our adventure.

description: The improvement of the tall building has been quickly expanding around the world because now a days, people try to live in multistory structures. As per design criteria, the main focus is to resist the structures from lateral loads mainly from severe earthquake. The shear wall came into practice to resist lateral loads. But why complete shear
wall is to be used from foundation to top. That’s why shear wall belt criteria came into existence. The study is conducted on a 25-storied high-rise residential building. A standard floor plan with plinth area of 825 m2 used in this
work. Different cases are created with shear belt at different floors. Response spectrum method with SRSS combinations used to determine various parameters such as base shear, maximum nodal displacement in longitudinal
and transverse direction, drift values and load cases that creates maximum drift. With this view, this paper presents the criteria of provision of shear belt at different heights with the use of Staad pro software. Recommendations made to
choose optimum location of wall belt position in structure along with the best of all.

description: Social workers offer powerful skills and perspectives to policy practice and advocacy, whether it is to register voters or run for office. This book provides resources to students and practitioners to help members of our communities exercise their voting rights, and to demystify the process of running for office -- all through a social work lens. Fourteen chapters guide students and practitioners as they analyze modern-day policies meant to suppress voting, including asking why? Why would anyone want to strategize to prevent people from voting? Then, they examine how nonprofits and public agencies can (completely legally) encourage the people they serve to register to vote, help to educate them about issues that impact them, and assist and energize them to vote.

description: Magnetic properties of materials confined to nanometer length scales are providing important information regarding low dimensional physics. Using gadolinium based Langmuir-Blodgett films, we demonstrate that two-dimensional ferromagnetic order can be induced by applying magnetic field along the in-plane (perpendicular to growth) direction. Field dependent exchange coupling is evident in the in-plane magnetization data that exhibit absence of hysteresis loop and show reduction in field required to obtain saturation in measured moment with decreasing temperature.

description: Construction space on plain ground is main criteria now days since there is the scarcity of land and it has been observed that the construction site shifted on hill. Since the main thing is how to maintain the structure that would not to be collapse under seismic activities and under sloping ground. Construction on steep slope is very hard since the structural weight is transferring on slope. The objective of the present study is to perform the analysis and comparison of building situated on plane ground and on sloping ground. For sloping ground, step back structures and step back set back structures were taken and total 5 building cases B1 to B5 analyzed by software approach. To determine how the structural design parameters evolve by taking 20 degree and 30 degree slope. Basic parameters such as shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments in both beams and columns are taken into account. Staad pro software with response spectrum method is used in this work. Building with Step Back Set Back configuration (30 degree inclination) suited the best of all the structural cases.

While the statistical significance of the peaks prevents us from claims of states at the present time, the agreement found should be an incentive to look at this experiment with increased statistics to give an answer to this suggestive idea.

description: Due to the increase in the demand of high rise and fascinating structure with vertical & horizontal irregularity, different themes, and increasing height day by day leads to new challenges and requirement of new safety measures. To resist from earthquake and expressly wind effect due to increasing stature as the stiffness of the building is increases with increasing height we need to adopt some preventing structural system. Some of them are bracings, shear wall, outrigger system etc. In this study outrigger system is taken for analysis due the fact that is found the most optimal system for high rise buildings and skyscrapers. In this system the external columns are connected to main inner or outer core by means of outrigger beams at different floors to resist against story drift and rotating action of core due seismic and wind forces. In this study various papers allied to this topic are reviewed in which an enormous work is done in this field earlier. With the help of review of research paper we came to know about the conclusive outcome which forms the research objectives of our further study.

description: The k-point correlation functions of the Gaussian Random Matrix Ensembles are certain determinants of functions which depend on only two arguments. They are referred to as kernels, since they are the building blocks of all correlations. We show that the kernels are obtained, for arbitrary level number, directly from supermatrix models for one-point functions. More precisely, the generating functions of the one-point functions are equivalent to the kernels. This is surprising, because it implies that already the one-point generating function holds essential information about the k-point correlations. This also establishes a link to the averaged ratios of spectral determinants, i.e. of characteristic polynomials.

description: The formation of bound states between mobile impurity particles and fermionic atoms has been demonstrated in spin-polarized Fermi gases with attractive interspecies interaction. We investigate bound states of mobile impurities immersed in a two-dimensional system with a symmetry-protected quadratic band touching. In addition to the standard s-wave interaction, we consider an anisotropic dipolar exchange interaction that locally breaks point group symmetries. Using a weak-coupling renormalization group approach and a ladder approximation for the impurity-fermion propagator, we establish that the number of bound states can be controlled by varying the anisotropy of the exchange interaction. Our results show that the degeneracy and momentum dependence of the binding energies reflect some distinctive properties of the quadratic band touching.

description: Abstract: Purpose: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived dopaminergic neuron progenitor cells (DAPCs) are a potential therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, their intracranial administration raises safety concerns including uncontrolled proliferation, migration and inflammation. Here, we apply a bimodal imaging approach to investigate the fate of DAPC transplants in the rat striatum. Procedures: DAPCs co-expressing luciferase and ZsGreen or labelled with micron-sized particles of iron oxide (MPIOs) were transplanted in the striatum of RNU rats (n = 6 per group). DAPCs were tracked in vivo using bioluminescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging modalities. Results: Transgene silencing in differentiating DAPCs accompanied with signal attenuation due to animal growth rendered the bioluminescence undetectable by week 2 post intrastriatal transplantation. However, MR imaging of MPIO-labelled DAPCs showed that transplanted cells remained at the site of injection for over 120 days. Post-mortem histological analysis of DAPC transplants demonstrated that labelling with either luciferase/ZsGreen or MPIOs did not affect the ability of cells to differentiate into mature dopaminergic neurons. Importantly, labelled cells did not elicit increased glial reactivity compared to non-labelled cells. Conclusions: In summary, our findings support the transplantation of hPSC-derived DAPCs as a safe treatment for PD.

description: We provide a characterization of two types of directed homology for fully-connected, feedforward neural network architectures. These exact characterizations of the directed homology structure of a neural network architecture are the first of their kind. We show that the directed flag homology of deep networks reduces to computing the simplicial homology of the underlying undirected graph, which is explicitly given by Euler characteristic computations. We also show that the path homology of these networks is non-trivial in higher dimensions and depends on the number and size of the layers within the network. These results provide a foundation for investigating homological differences between neural network architectures and their realized structure as implied by their parameters.

description: Binary neutron star (NSNS) mergers can be sources of gravitational waves coincident with electromagnetic counterpart emission. To solidify their role as multimessenger sources, we present fully 3D, general relativistic, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of spinning NSNSs initially on quasicircular orbits that merge and undergo delayed collapse to a black hole (BH). The NSNSs consist of two identical stars modeled as $Γ=2$ polytropes with spin $χ_{NS}= 0.36$ aligned along the direction of the total orbital angular momentum $L$. Each star is initially threaded by a dynamical unimportant interior dipole B-field. The field is extended into the exterior where a nearly force-free magnetosphere resembles that of a pulsar. The magnetic dipole moment $μ$ is either aligned or perpendicular to $L$ and has the same initial magnitude for each orientation. For comparison, we also impose symmetry across the orbital plane in one case where $μ$ in both stars is aligned along $L$. We find that the lifetime of the transient hypermassive neutron star remnant, the jet launching time, and the ejecta are very sensitive to the B-field orientation. By contrast, the physical properties of the BH + disk remnant, such as the mass and spin of the BH, the accretion rate, and the electromagnetic luminosity, are roughly independent of the initial B-field orientation. In addition, we find imposing symmetry across the orbital plane does not play a significant role in the final outcome of the mergers. Our results show that an incipient jet emerges only when the seed B-field has a sufficiently large-scale poloidal component aligned to $L$. The lifetime [$Δt\gtrsim 140(M_{NS}/1.625M_\odot)\rm ms$] and Poynting luminosities [$L_{EM}\simeq 10^{52}$erg/s] of the jet, when it forms, are consistent with typical short gamma-ray bursts, as well as with the Blandford--Znajek mechanism for launching jets.

description: Abstract: Background: Increasing the availability of healthier food increases its selection and consumption. However, there is an absence of evidence related to alcohol. This study aimed to estimate the impact of increasing the absolute and relative availability of non-alcoholic compared to alcoholic drinks on selection. We also assessed whether effects were modified by cognitive resource. Methods: UK adult weekly alcohol consumers (n = 808) were recruited to an online experiment with a hypothetical drink selection task. Participants were randomly assigned to one of eight conditions, in a 4 (availability) × 2 (cognitive resource) factorial design. The four availability conditions were: i. Reference 1 (two non-alcoholic, two alcoholic drinks); ii. Reference 2 (four non-alcoholic, four alcoholic drinks); iii. Increased non-alcoholic drinks (six non-alcoholic, two alcoholic drinks); iv. Increased alcoholic drinks (two non-alcoholic, six alcoholic drinks). The two cognitive resource conditions were: a. Low (high time pressure); b. High (low time pressure). Logistic regression was used to assess selection of a non-alcoholic drink. Results: 49% of participants selected a non-alcoholic drink in the Increased non-alcoholic drinks condition, compared to 36% in Reference 1, 39% in Reference 2, and 26% in the Increased alcoholic drinks condition. Non-alcoholic drink selection was similar between Reference 1 and 2 when the total number of drinks increased (absolute availability) but the proportion of non-alcoholic compared to alcoholic drinks (relative availability) was unchanged (OR = 1.15, 95% CI 0.77, 1.73). In contrast, the odds of selecting a non-alcoholic drink were 71% higher when both absolute and relative availability of non-alcoholic compared to alcoholic drinks was increased from Reference 1 to the Increased non-alcoholic drinks condition (OR: 1.71, 95% CI 1.15, 2.54), and 48% higher when increased from Reference 2 to the Increased non-alcoholic drinks condition (OR: 1.48, 95% CI 0.99, 2.19). There was no evidence of an effect of cognitive resource. Conclusions: Greater availability of non-alcoholic drinks, compared to alcoholic drinks, increased their online selection, an effect that may be larger when changing their relative availability, i.e., increasing the proportion of non-alcoholic drinks. Naturalistic studies are needed to determine the impact of availability interventions on reducing alcohol purchasing and consumption.

description: Prediction markets which trade on contracts representing unknown future outcomes are designed specifically to aggregate expert predictions via the market price. While there are some existing machine learning interpretations for the market price and connections to Bayesian updating under the equilibrium analysis of such markets, there is less of an understanding of what the instantaneous price in sequentially traded markets means. In this thesis I show that the prices generated in sequentially traded prediction markets are stochastic approximations to the price given by an equilibrium analysis. This is done by showing that the equilibrium price is a solution to a stochastic optimisation problem which is solved by stochastic mirror descent (SMD) by a class of sequential pricing mechanisms. This connection leads to proposing a scheme called “mini-trading” which introduces a parameter related to the learning rate in SMD. I prove several properties of this scheme and show that it can improve the stability of prices in sequentially traded prediction markets. Also I analyse two popular trading models (namely the Maximum Expected Utility model and the Risk-measure model) in respect to an assumption on the class of traders I required to interpret sequential markets as SMD. I derive a sufficient condition for when the Maximum Expected Utility traders satisfy this assumption, but show that risk-measure based traders naturally satisfy this assumption for the type of markets I consider. Then I show that the “regret” of mini-trading markets (with respect to equilibrium markets) depend on the mini-trade parameter. Finally I attempt to compare the wealth updates of traders in sequential markets to the wealth updates in equilibrium markets, since this would help to extend the interpretation of equilibrium markets as performing Bayesian updates to sequential markets. For this I present preliminary results.
An Oppositeness in the Cosmology: Distribution of the Gamma-Ray Bursts and the Cosmological Principle

description: The Cosmological Principle is the assumption that the universe is spatially homogeneous and isotropic in the large-scale average. In year 1998 the author, together with his two colleagues, has shown that the BATSE's short gamma-ray bursts are not distributed isotropically on the sky. This claim was then followed by other papers confirming both the existence of anisotropies in the angular distribution of bursts and the existence of huge Gpc structures in the spatial distribution. These observational facts are in contradiction with the Cosmological Principle, because the large scale averaging hardly can be provided. The aim of this contribution is to survey these publications.

description: Steindl’s work on stochastic processes aims to describe the economy as in a state of imbalance, due to the fact that its starting conditions are an accident of history, and nobody has a clue what tomorrow will bring. This does not mean that we cannot imagine a balanced distribution – when the various forces of change are constant – as a way of pointing out certain fundamental characteristics. Such a purpose is compatible with the use of stochastic models, because these also entail the study of systematic phenomena. In fact, what we often describe as ‘random’ is the result of lots and lots of independent forces acting together on a particular phenomenon. JEL Codes: E12, B16, B25, B31

description: In the framework of the symplectic extension of the Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM) a good description of the first excited positive and negative parity bands of the nuclei in the rare earth and the actinide region is achieved. The bands investigated in the model are extended to very high angular momenta as a result of their consideration as "yrast" bands with respect to the symplectic classification of the basis states. The analysis of the eigenvalues of the model Hamiltonian reveals the presence of an interaction between these bands. Due to this iteraction the Delta(L)=1 staggering effect between the energies of the states of two bands is also reproduced including the "beat" patterns.

Tightly shut: flexible valve margins and microstructural asymmetry in pterioid bivalves

description: Abstract: An organic-rich columnar prismatic outer shell layer, which extends far beyond the underlying nacre, has allowed pterioid bivalves (the pearl oysters and their allies) to develop flexible valve margins, allowing a tight hermetic seal when shut. In some taxa, the microstructural arrangement is known to be asymmetrically developed between the two valves. The asymmetry was surveyed across 29 taxa of pterioids (including representatives of known genera) confirming that it is typically the right valve which has a greater expanse of prism-only shell (and less nacre) and showing that this portion of the right valve has more organic content (more than twice the value in some instances) than the equivalent in the left. A more detailed investigation of prismatic material in Pteria penguin comparing the right and left valves revealed that the right valve flange has a higher density of smaller prisms, each with its organic envelope, and not a greater thickness of the organic envelopes themselves. The flange is also thinner on the right valve and shown here to be very flexible when wet. This allows it to bend against the rigid left valve when the shell is closed. Comparison of this structural asymmetry in the pterioids with five outgroup taxa in the Ostreidae and Pinnidae suggests that clades with the asymmetry have been freed from the constraints of a flattened valve morphology and to develop inequivalved forms.

description: We discuss, using recent results on the Landauer's bound in multivalued logic, the difficulties and pitfalls of how to apply this principle. The presentation is based on Szilard's version of Maxwell's demon experiment and use of equilibrium Thermodynamics. Different versions of thermodynamical/mechanical memory are presented - one-hot encoding version and the implementation based on reversed Szilard's experiment. Relation of the Landauer's principle to Galois connection is explained in detail.

description: Abstract: A novel neutron and X-ray reflectometry sample environment is presented for the study of surface-active molecules at solid–liquid interfaces under shear. Neutron reflectometry was successfully used to characterise the iron oxide–dodecane interface at a shear rate of 7.0×102s-1 using a combination of conventional reflectometry theory coupled with the summation of reflected intensities to describe reflectivity from thicker films. Additionally, the structure adopted by glycerol monooleate (GMO), an Organic Friction Modifier, when adsorbed at the iron oxide–dodecane interface at a shear rate of 7.0×102s-1 was studied. It was found that GMO forms a surface layer that appears unaltered by the effect of shear, where the thickness of the GMO layer was found to be 24.3-10.2+9.9 Å under direct shear at 7.0×102s-1 and 25.8-5.2+4.4 Å when not directly under shear. Finally, a model to analyse X-ray reflectometry data collected with the sample environment is also described and applied to data collected at 3.0×103s-1.

description: Athena is the ATLAS off-line software framework, based upon the GAUDI architecture from LHCb. As part of ATLAS' continuing efforts to enhance and customise the architecture to meet our needs, we have developed a data object description tool suite and service for Athena. The aim is to provide a set of tools to describe, manage, integrate and use the Event Data Model at a design level according to the concepts of the Athena framework (use of patterns, relationships, ...). Moreover, to ensure stability and reusability this must be fully independent from the implementation details. After an extensive investigation into the many options, we have developed a language grammar based upon a description language (IDL, ODL) to provide support for object integration in Athena. We have then developed a compiler front end based upon this language grammar, JavaCC, and a Java Reflection API-like interface. We have then used these tools to develop several compiler back ends which meet specific needs in ATLAS such as automatic generation of object converters, and data object scripting interfaces. We present here details of our work and experience to date on the Athena Definition Language and Athena Data Dictionary.

description: We propose theoretical schemes to realize the cyon and anyon by atoms which possess non-vanishing electric dipole moments. To realize a cyon, besides the atom, we need a magnetic field produced by a long magnetic-charged filament. To realize an anyon, however, apart from these we need a harmonic potential and an additional magnetic field produced by a uniformly distributed magnetic charges. We find that the atom will be an anyon when cooled down to the negligibly small kinetic energy limit. The relationship between our results and the previous ones is investigated from the electromagnetic duality.

description: Off-diagonal geometric phases have been developed in order to provide information of the geometry of paths that connect noninterfering quantal states. We propose a kinematic approach to off-diagonal geometric phases for pure and mixed states. We further extend the mixed state concept proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 050403 (2003)] to degenerate density operators. The first and second order off-diagonal geometric phases are analyzed for unitarily evolving pairs of pseudopure states.

description: We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of field-effect devices based on wire-shaped InP crystals grown from Au catalyst particles by a vapor-liquid-solid process. Our InP wires are n-type doped with diameters in the 40-55 nm range and lengths of several microns. After being deposited on an oxidized Si substrate, wires are contacted individually via e-beam fabricated Ti/Al electrodes. We obtain contact resistances as low as ~10 kOhm, with minor temperature dependence. The distance between the electrodes varies between 0.2 and 2 micron. The electron density in the wires is changed with a back gate. Low-temperature transport measurements show Coulomb-blockade behavior with single-electron charging energies of ~1 meV. We also demonstrate energy quantization resulting from the confinement in the wire.
