description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We propose a general theory for the critical $T_c$ and pseudogap $T^*$ temperature dependence on the doping concentration for high-$T_c$ oxides, taking into account the charge inhomogeneities in the $CuO_2$ planes. The well measured experimental inhomogeneous charge density in a given compound is assumed to produce a spatial distribution of local $ρ(r)$. These differences in the local charge concentration is assumed to yield insulator and metallic regions, possibly in a stripe morphology. In the metallic region, the inhomogeneous charge density yields also spatial distributions of superconducting critical temperatures $T_c(r)$ and zero temperature gap $Δ_0(r)$. For a given sample, the measured onset of vanishing gap temperature is identified as the pseudogap temperature, that is, $T^*$, which is the maximum of all $T_c(r)$. Below $T^*$, due to the distribution of $T_c(r)$'s, there are some superconducting regions surrounded by insulator or metallic medium. The transition to a superconducting state corresponds to the percolation threshold among the superconducting regions with different $T_c(r)$'s. To model the charge inhomogeneities we use a double branched Poisson-Gaussian distribution. To make definite calculations and compare with the experimental results, we derive phase diagrams for the BSCO, LSCO and YBCO families, with a mean field theory for superconductivity using an extended Hubbard Hamiltonian. We show also that this novel approach provides new insights on several experimental features of high-$T_c$ oxides.

description: We estimate the properties of the double neutron star (DNS) population that will be observable by the planned space-based interferometer LISA. By following the gravitational radiation driven evolution of DNSs generated from rapid population synthesis of massive binary stars, we estimate that around 35 DNSs will accumulate a signal-to-noise ratio above 8 over a four-year LISA mission. The observed population mainly comprises Galactic DNSs (94 per cent), but detections in the LMC (5 per cent) and SMC (1 per cent) may also be expected. The median orbital frequency of detected DNSs is expected to be 0.8 mHz, and many of them will be eccentric (median eccentricity of $0.11$). The orbital properties will provide insights into DNS progenitors and formation channels. LISA is expected to localise these DNSs to a typical angular resolution of $2^\circ$, with best-constrained sources localised to a few arcminutes. These localisations may allow neutron star natal kick magnitudes to be constrained through the Galactic distribution of DNSs, and make it possible to follow up the sources with radio pulsar searches. However, LISA is also expected to resolve $\sim 10^4$ Galactic double white dwarfs, many of which may have binary parameters that resemble DNSs; we discuss how the combined measurement of binary eccentricity, chirp mass, and sky location may aid the identification of a DNS. We expect the best-constrained DNSs to have eccentricities known to a few parts in a thousand, chirp masses measured to better than 1 per cent fractional uncertainty, and sky localisation at the level of a few arcminutes.

Erwin Bodky as Musicologist, Pedagogue, and Performer: A German Émigre in The United States
Creators: name: D'Antonio, Andrew A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Before 1933, Erwin Bodky actively participated in musical life in Berlin. When he was a student, the Prussian Government had given him grants in 1920 and 1921 to study with the distinguished composers Richard Strauss and Ferruccio Busoni. His international performing career was launched when, at the last minute, Bodky was asked to replace a pianist for a performance with Wilhelm Furtwängler. When he became a professor at the Staatlich Akademie für Kirchen- und Schulmusik in Charlottenburg in 1926, he immersed himself in early music, performing on harpsichord and clavichord and founding his own collegium musicum. His publications, Der Vortrag alter Klaviermusik (Berlin: Hesse, 1932) and Das Charakterstück (Berlin: Vieweg, 1933), promised a future wealth of scholarship.
However, in 1933, Bodky was expelled from his teaching position because he was a Jew. After officials came to seize part of his instrument collection, he and his family fled to Amsterdam, where they were in exile for five years. In 1938, he managed to escape Europe by securing a position at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Bodky would become one of the most important proponents of early music in the United States. Over the last twenty years of his life, he promoted historical instruments, performance practice, and forgotten early music repertoire. His many accomplishments in the United States include the founding of the Music Department at Brandeis University and the Cambridge Society for Early Music, the introduction and promotion of the collegium musicum, and the publication of the treatise The Interpretation of Bach’s Keyboard Works (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1960).
This thesis provides the first detailed examination of his influence in the United States. His roles as performer, scholar, and teacher are each explored. Relying upon unpublished archival material, academic records, memoirs, and numerous concert programs in addition to Bodky’s published writings, this study reveals that Bodky had a significant impact on how early music was performed, taught, and received in the United States.

description: The induced pseudoscalar coupling $g_p$ is the least well known of the weak coupling constants of the proton's charged--current interaction. Its size is dictated by chiral symmetry arguments, and its measurement represents an important test of quantum chromodynamics at low energies. During the past decade a large body of new data relevant to the coupling $g_p$ has been accumulated. This data includes measurements of radiative and non radiative muon capture on targets ranging from hydrogen and few--nucleon systems to complex nuclei. Herein the authors review the theoretical underpinnings of $g_p$, the experimental studies of $g_p$, and the procedures and uncertainties in extracting the coupling from data. Current puzzles are highlighted and future opportunities are discussed.

Hydrodynamic transport in the Luttinger-Abrikosov-Beneslavskii non-Fermi liquid

description: We determine the shear viscosity and the dc electrical conductivity of interacting three-dimensional Luttinger semimetals, which have a quadratic band touching point in the energy spectrum, in the hydrodynamic regime. It is well-known that when the chemical potential is right at the band touching point the long-range Coulomb interaction induces the Luttinger-Abrikosov-Beneslavskii (LAB) phase at T = 0, which is an interacting, scale-invariant, non-Fermi-liquid state of electrons. Upon combining the renormalization-group (RG) analysis near the upper critical spatial dimension of four with the Boltzmann kinetic equation, we determine the universal ratio of viscosity over entropy, and the electrical dc conductivity of the system at the interacting LAB fixed point of the RG flow. The projection of the Coulomb interaction on the eigenstates of the system is found to play an important quantitative role for the scattering amplitude in the collision integral, and the so-called Auger-processes make a large numerical contribution to the inverse scattering time in the transport quantities. The obtained leading order result suggests that the universal ratio of the viscosity over entropy, when extrapolated to the physical three spatial dimensions, is above, but could be rather close to, the Kovtun-Son-Starinets lower bound.

Third post-Newtonian dynamics of compact binaries: Equations of motion in the center-of-mass frame

description: The equations of motion of compact binary systems and their associated Lagrangian formulation have been derived in previous works at the third post-Newtonian (3PN) approximation of general relativity in harmonic coordinates. In the present work we investigate the binary's relative dynamics in the center-of-mass frame (center of mass located at the origin of the coordinates). We obtain the 3PN-accurate expressions of the center-of-mass positions and equations of the relative binary motion. We show that the equations derive from a Lagrangian (neglecting the radiation reaction), from which we deduce the conserved center-of-mass energy and angular momentum at the 3PN order. The harmonic-coordinates center-of-mass Lagrangian is equivalent, {\it via} a contact transformation of the particles' variables, to the center-of-mass Hamiltonian in ADM coordinates that is known from the post-Newtonian ADM-Hamiltonian formalism. As an application we investigate the dynamical stability of circular binary orbits at the 3PN order.

Chemical Stability of Curcumin: Structure and Activity Relationship (SAR) Study
Creators: name: Du, Zheyuan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Over the past decades, numerous studies have shown that curcumin has potent biological activities. As a potential chemopreventing agent, curcumin was demonstrated to exert anti-cancer effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies. However, low bioavailability of curcumin limited human clinical trials and its application to be formulated as therapeutics. In this thesis, we will summarize the anti-cancer effects of curcumin in animal studies and clinical trials. In addition, an SAR study will be introduced to elucidate the mechanism of curcumin degradation at physiological pH. We synthesized various curcumin analogues and compared their stability in phosphate buffer using HPLC and colorimetry assay. The results not only demonstrated that the -OH group and the methoxy group play a critical role in stability of curcumin in physiological environment, but also support the proposed mechanism of phenolic radical formation by which curcumin degrades to its major product bicyclopentadione.

description: We consider the inviscid limit for the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations in the class of integrable and bounded vorticity fields. It is expected that the difference between the Navier--Stokes and Euler velocity fields vanishes in $L^2$ with an order proportional to the square root of the viscosity constant $ν$. Here, we provide an order $\left(ν/|\logν|\right)^{\frac12\exp(-Ct)}$ bound, which slightly improves upon earlier results by Chemin.

Fruit and Vegetable Intake, Attitudes, and Beliefs of Multicultural Middle School Students in Central Massachusetts
Creators: name: Harrington, Emily M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: High fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is associated with healthy weights and decreased risk of chronic disease. Yet, adolescent FV intakes fall below national recommendations. Few studies involve racial/ethnic minority adolescents in formative research, despite their increased risk of poor FV intake. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to describe the type and frequency of FV intake of urban multicultural young adolescents, and to examine their attitudes and beliefs towards increased consumption of FV. A convenience sample (n=79) of racially diverse (e.g., 31% Hispanic/Latino, 27.4% Black/African American) grade seven students, participated in our study comprised of a self-administered survey with culturally adapted FV food frequency questionnaire (FVFFQ) and focus group discussions. The FVFFQ revealed that hand fruit was the most highly consumed fruit among our students, while consumption of vegetables was more evenly distributed. Preferred FV among racial/ethnic population groups ranged with Hispanic/Latino identifying citrus, leafy green vegetables preferred by Black/African American, tropical fruit by Asian and Whites reporting cooked vegetables. Availability of preferred vegetables as school significantly influenced vegetable intake (p=0.038). Family attitudes towards vegetables also influenced student FV behaviors (diet diversity (DD) score, p=0.008; FV self-efficacy scores, p=0.019). The median DD score (73%) indicated moderate compliance with national FV intake recommendations among students with red, orange, and ‘other’ vegetables requiring the most improvement in intake. Focus group discussions revealed important barriers to FV intake, including a preference for consuming ‘junk food’ for snacks over FV, a lack of availability of preferred vegetables at school, and parental financial constraints, which limited availability of preferred produce at homes. Students’ suggested strategies to motivate increased FV intake included greater incentives and modeling from parents, improved recipes and taste tests for vegetables served at school and greater availability of culturally diverse produce represented in school menu. Students emphasized social media for FV promotion targeted at adolescents. Overall, our findings suggest young adolescents are open to increased FV intake, but require a supportive home and school environment, with access to cultural and preferred produce; students indicated a keen interest in involvement with FV promotion initiatives undertaken in their school.

description: The paper provides an introduction into p-mechanics, which is a consistent physical theory suitable for a simultaneous description of classical and quantum mechanics. p-Mechanics naturally provides a common ground for several different approaches to quantisation (geometric, Weyl, coherent states, Berezin, deformation, Moyal, etc.) and has a potential for expansions into field and string theories. The backbone of p-mechanics is solely the representation theory of the Heisenberg group.

description: The Planckian relaxation rate $\hbar/t_\mathrm{P} = 2πk_\mathrm{B} T$ sets a characteristic time scale for both equilibration of quantum critical systems and maximal quantum chaos. In this note, we show that at the critical coupling between a superconducting dot and the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, known to be maximally chaotic, the pairing gap $Δ$ behaves as $η\,\, \hbar/t_\mathrm{P}$ at low temperatures, where $η$ is an order one constant. The lower critical temperature emerges with a further increase of the coupling strength so that the finite $Δ$ domain is settled between the two critical temperatures.

Mechanisms of Slowed Foot Tap Speed in Older Adults
Creators: name: Hartman, Erica L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Rapid repetitive tapping, like the Foot Tap Test (FTT), slows with age, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Purpose: 1. Test the hypotheses that greater performance variability, increased muscle coactivation, and slowed muscle contractile speeds are related to lower foot tap count (FTC) in older adults; 2. Examine the relationship between FTC and physical function in older adults, using the advanced SPPB-A. Methods: 18 (25.0±3.1years, 9F, mean±SD), and 28 (73.4±4.9, 14F) adults were recruited; the later were divided into Higher (HFO) and Lower (LFO) Functioning based on SPPB-A score. Participants performed 10s of rapid tapping (FTT) while seated. A MATLAB program was used to calculate FTC and variability of the intertap-interval (COV-ITI). Contractile speed (rates of force development and relaxation, RFD and RFR) of the dorsiflexor muscles were determined using ballistic contractions. Electromyography was recorded on the tibialis anterior, soleus, and coactivation was calculated based on their agreement. Results: LFO had a lower FTC than Young and HFO (45.9±7.0taps, 54.4±7.5, 53.1±5.7, respectively; p=0.003), and lower COV-ITI than Young (12.3±5.9%, 20.5±8.1, respectively, p=0.009). No associations were found between COV-ITI and FTC. Coactivation was higher in Young than HFO (0.568±0.209, 0.321±0.129) and was negatively related to FTC in older (r2=0.274, p=0.005). The LFO had a slower RFD than Young and FTC was positively related to maximal RFD (r2=0.345, p=0.001) and RFR (r2=0.162, p=0.038) in older adults. In older, FTC was related to SPPB-A (r2=0.329, p=0.001). Conclusions: Greater coactivation during the FTT and slower force development may negatively affect FTC in older adults.
Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV with 137 fb$^{-1}$ in final states with a single lepton using the sum of masses of large-radius jets
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results are reported from a search for new physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions in final states with a single lepton; multiple jets, including at least one jet tagged as originating from the hadronization of a bottom quark; and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to 137 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The signal region is divided into categories characterized by the total number of jets, the number of bottom quark jets, the missing transverse momentum, and the sum of masses of large-radius jets. The observed event yields in the signal regions are consistent with estimates of standard model backgrounds based on event yields in the control regions. The results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry involving gluino pair production in which each gluino decays into a top quark-antiquark pair and a stable, unobserved neutralino, which generates missing transverse momentum in the event. Scenarios with gluino masses up to about 2150 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level (or more) for neutralino masses up to 700 GeV. The highest excluded neutralino mass is about 1250 GeV, which holds for gluino masses around 1850 GeV.

description: The structure of eta-nucleus bound systems (eta mesic nuclei) is investigated as one of the tools to study in-medium properties of the N(1535) (N^*) resonance by using the chiral doublet model to incorporate the medium effects of the N^* resonance in a chiral symmetric way. We find that the shape and the depth of the eta-nucleus optical potential are strongly affected by the in-medium properties of the N^* and the nucleon. Especially, as a general feature of the potential, the existence of a repulsive core of the eta-nucleus potential at the nuclear center with an attractive part at the nuclear surface is concluded. We calculate the level structure of bound states in this 'central-repulsive and surface-attractive' optical potential and find that the level structure is sensitive to the in-medium properties of the N^*. The (d,3He) spectra are also evaluated for the formation of these bound states to investigate the experimental feasibility. We also make comments on the possible existence of halo-like eta states in beta-unstable halo nuclei.

Venerable Style, Form, and the Avant-Garde in Mozart’s Minor Key Piano Sonatas K. 310 and K. 457: Topic and Structure
Creators: name: Moylan, Andrew L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: Although the topoi and elements of what has been described as the “Venerable Style” (V.S.) are found in many places in Mozart’s solo keyboard sonatas, the obsessive juxtaposition of these elements against brilliant, concerted, Empfindsamer Stil, and Sturm und Drang topoi can be shown to define the first and third movements of his minor key piano sonatas K.310 and K.457. This thesis will investigate using the theoretical tools developed by a range of Topic Theory authors such as Ratner (1980,) Allanbrook (1983,) Hatten (2004,) and Monelle (2000, 2006,) a newly developed analytical concept known as topical expansion, and the structural framework provided by Hepokoski and Darcy (2006) to prove that the venerable topoi are not purely referential gestures, but are also vital parts of the structural content of each of the sonatas and their respective single movements. In line with Caplin (2005)’s warning that the venerable and learned styles are some of the only historically developed and generally accepted topoi with formal (structural) ramifications, this thesis will argue that K.310 and K.457’s surface content is built largely upon the application, troping, and expansion of V.S. topoi in the key formal regions given in Hepokoski and Darcy (2006). As a result of comparative analysis, a further topical level of unity and compositional organization will be shown to be present in the works justifying Kinderman (2006) and Irving (2010)’s conception of the works’ stylistic affect as avant-garde and romantic in execution. Additionally, analysis of the works’ strictly controlled topoi will show each work to be in opposition to Allanbrook’s conception of Mozart’s music as a “miniature theater of gestures,” suggesting that their austere affect is programmed at the topical level in addition to their tonal and formal content (Allanbrook 1992, 130).

description: The paths of stars in galaxies have circular velocity independent of their distance from the centre of the galaxy. Newtonian mechanics with a logarithmic potential has such paths. In relativity these paths can be taken to be geodesics and this requirement places a resticting equation on the spacetime metric. This equation has a non-unique spherically symmetric solution that in the newtonian limit has a logarithmic potential. It also can be solved in terms of a conformal factor. In particular it has solutions which are conformal to the vacuum-Einstein solutions and such spacetimes are solutions to the vacuum-Bach equations. Therefore it is suggested that the Bach equations describe dynamics on galactic lenght scales.

description: In this paper we develop a new methodological proposal to incorporate risk into a farm level Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) model. Our model presents some innovations with respect to the previous literature and estimates simultaneously the resource shadow prices, the farm non-linear cost function and a farm-specific coefficient of absolute risk aversion. The proposed model has been applied to three farm samples and the estimation results confirm the calibration ability of the model and show values for risk aversion coefficients consistent with the literature. Finally we simulate different scenarios of crop price volatility to test the model reactions as well as the potential role of an agri-environmental scheme as risk management tool.

description: In this paper we propose a solution to the long standing problem in the CGC/saturation approach: the power-like fall off of the scattering amplitudes at large $b$. We propose a new non-linear equation, which takes into account random walks both in transverse momenta of the produced gluons and in their impact parameters. We demonstrate, that this equation is in accord with previous attempts to include the diffusion in impact parameters in the BFKL evolution equation. We show in the paper, that the solution to a new equation results in the exponential decrease of the scattering amplitude at large impact parameter, and in the restoration of the Froissart theorem.

The Primary and Convergent Retrieval Model of Memory
Creators: name: Hopper, William J
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Memory models typically assume that recall is a two-stage process with learning affecting both processes to the same degree. This equal learning assumption is difficult to reconcile with studies of the 'testing effect', which reveal different forgetting rates following learning from test practice versus learning from restudy. Here we present a new memory model, termed Primary and Convergent Retrieval (PCR) that assumes successful recall leads to a selective enhancement for the second stage of recall (Convergent Retrieval). We applied this model to existing testing effect data. In two new experiments, we confirmed novel predictions of the PCR model for transfer between retrieval cues and for recall latencies. This is the first formally specified model of the testing effect and it has broad implications for the nature of learning and retrieval.

description: The most efficient MC weights for the calculation of physical, canonical expectation values are not necessarily those of the canonical ensemble. The use of suitably generalized ensembles can lead to a much faster convergence of the simulation. Although not realized by nature, these ensembles can be implemented on computers. In recent years generalized ensembles have in particular been studied for the simulation of complex systems. For these systems it is typical that conflicting constraints lead to free energy barriers, which fragment the configuration space. Examples of major interest are spin glasses and proteins. In my overview I first comment on the strengths and weaknesses of a few major approaches, multicanonical simulations, transition variable methods, and parallel tempering. Subsequently, two applications are presented: a new analysis of the Parisi overlap distribution for the 3d Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass and the helix-coil transition of amino-acid homo-oligomers.

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We find general solutions for the dimensionally regularised scalar one loop three-point and four-point functions with one heavy quark propagator. The scalar one-point function vanishes, while the expression for the two-point function has been found before. For the latter we give a detailed derivation. We also discuss some special cases and compile useful formulae.

description: The $μ^-e^-\to e^-e^-$ process in a muonic atom is one of the promising probes to study the charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV). We have investigated the angular distribution of electrons from the polarized muon of the atomic bound state. The parity violating asymmetric distribution of electrons is analyzed by using lepton wave functions under the Coulomb interaction of a finite nuclear charge distribution. It is found that the asymmetry parameters of electrons are very sensitive to the chiral structure of the CLFV interaction and the contact/photonic interaction. Therefore, together with the atomic number dependence of the decay rate studied in our previous work, the angular distribution of electrons from a polarized muon should be a very useful tool to constrain the model beyond the standard model.

What are the Physical Health Benefits of Urban Tree Canopy in the Springfield, Massachusetts Neighborhoods?
Creators: name: Hummel, Robert A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores the relationship between urban tree canopy and physical health measures between different Springfield, Massachusetts neighborhoods. The study hypothesis was that there would be a correlation between urban tree canopy and human health. Statistical analysis was used to examine the correlation between available health data and urban trees. The existing neighborhood health data that was available comprised of asthma rate, infant mortality, and low birth weight. It also examined other data such as median household income, demographic percentages, home ownership, and green space. The research questions guiding this study were: Are there any correlations between urban trees canopy and the asthma rates, infant mortality rates, and low birth weight in Springfield neighborhoods? Do local residents have equal access to resources such as urban tree canopy and green space? Previous research reviewed in the literature shows that urban tree canopy provides social, environmental, physical benefits to their surroundings and to the residents of urban neighborhoods, such as those in Springfield. The literature review also discussed some challenges with regard to unequal access to urban trees in other cities, such as Boston that show environmental justice issue may be an influence. The current study used data on health, demographic, and urban tree canopy data that was primarily collected by the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, the US Forest Service and ReGreen Springfield. The major findings showed correlations between urban tree canopy and median household income, low birth weight, and demographics percentages. Those correlations indicated that there are signs of environmental justice issues in the City of Springfield. This correlation results verifies prior that was reviewed in the literature. One recommendation to offset the issues of environmental justice would be to invest in organization such as ReGreen Springfield and other organizations that promote planting trees by neighborhood groups.
An in Vivo Study of Cortical Dynein Dynamics and its Contribution to Microtubule Sliding in the Midzone
Creators: name: Jordan, Heather M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: In LLC-Pk1 cells, and most cultured mammalian cells, cell division is highly regulated to achieve equal sized daughter cells. During this process, duplicated centrosomes separate and establish a bipolar array called the mitotic spindle. The mitotic spindle is responsible for aligning the chromosomes at the metaphase plate, and separating sister chromatids during anaphase. Spindle positioning and elongation are thought to be driven by the interaction between dynamic astral microtubules and cortical dynein. Extensive research has revealed that dynein is anchored to the cortex via the highly conserved NuMA/LGN/Gαi ternary complex in metaphase and the additional PIP/PIP2/NuMA, or 4.1G/R/NuMA, pathways during anaphase. Although substantial research has been conducted on the proteins involved with this process, it is unclear exactly how a cell is able to generate forces for spindle positioning and elongation. Here, I use photoactivation and FRAP techniques to investigate the role of the midzone during spindle elongation, and how cortical dynein is able to drive this process. I provide evidence that microtubule sliding in the midzone is not precisely coordinated with pole separation, however the two actions are interdependent. In addition, I demonstrate that cortical dynein dynamics are significantly enhanced during anaphase, most likely due to an increased length and stability of astral microtubules. I hypothesize that this increased turnover rate allows for rapid redistribution of dynein throughout the cortex to ensure proper spindle elongation.

description: The efficient and sustainable use of water is becoming standard practice in water scarce regions and pro-active policy initiatives are taken to increase supply reliability considering the local context. The aim of this paper is to evaluate farmers’ acceptance of policy strategies to increase water supply reliability in a water scarce river basin in the south east of Spain. Results from a choice experiment study suggest that farmers are willing to pay double water prices to ensure water supply reliability, through government supply guaranteed programs. However, they are averse to any other institutional changes that could assist the government to achieve increased water supply.

description: Cerasus dielsiana (Rosaceae) is one of the most characteristic wild flowering cherry species endemic to subtropical China, with high conservation value from ornamental, economic, and ecological perspectives. To verify its spatial genetic structure and phylogeographic history, evaluation of nuclear (ITS) sequence variation in 203 individuals from 25 wild populations across its natural distribution ranges was conducted. High levels of ribotypes and nuclear diversity (Hd = 0.879 ± 0.012, π = 3.56 ± 0.16) were detected at the species level. Spatial analysis of molecular variation (SAMOVA), median-joining network and phylogenetic Neighbour-joining tree assigned the populations into four genetically distinct groups. Meanwhile, high levels of genetic differentiation among populations and strong phylogeographic patterns (Nst = 0.837 > Gst = 0.585; P < 0.05) were revealed based on the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Results of neutrality tests, mismatch distribution analyses, Mantel test, barrier analyses, together with ecological niche modelling (ENM) simulation and BEAST analysis suggest a long-term demographic history (95% HPD: 3.64–8.83 Mya) of C. dielsiana, and at least three potential in situ glacial refugia as well as recent demographic expansion in eastern region have been detected. Collectively, we highlight that the combined effect of natural selection and random genetic drift under complex topography and palaeoclimatic oscillations since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in subtropical China might have been the main driver to the species’ allopatric differentiation. Scientific conservation and sustainable utilization for wild C. dielsiana germplasm resources were subsequently proposed.

description: This article studies the influence of risk on farms’ technical efficiency levels. The analysis extends the order-m efficiency scores approach proposed by Daraio and Simar (2005) to the state-contingent framework. The empirical application focuses on cross section data of Catalan specialised crop farms from the year 2011. Results suggest that accounting for production risks increases the technical performance. A 10% increase in output risk will result in a 2.5% increase in average firm technical performance.
