title: Microbes and sulfur in a cave and karst system

description: Shoshone Canyon Conduit Cave lies five miles west of Cody, Wyoming, and was found during the building of an irrigation tunnel through Cedar Mountain by the Bureau of Reclamation (BoR). As the cave lies within the tunnel, it can only be accessed with permission during the non-irrigation time of year. What makes this cave special is the high number of sulfides and sulfur deposits, alongside the many unique speleothems. To get a better understanding of the ecosystem and development of this karst system, a geobiological survey was completed of the microbiology and mineralogy of this sulfur cave on its speleothems, mineral deposits, and water. An analysis of the microbial population was done through small subunit ribosomal 16S rRNA gene analysis, prepared using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify Bacteria and Archea. Within the low biomass we found more Bacteria over Archea, with a prevalence of sulfur metabolizers. Three especially interesting taxa present were Acidithiobacillus, Anaerolinacaea, and Ferroplasma. Petrography done on the mineral and speleothem samples showed diverse crystal growth, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed a variety of mineral morphotypes. With the amount of elemental sulfur in the cave, the taxa present, and the speleothems present, it is likely that this cave contains a semi-isolated complete sulfur cycle. Findings from this research can help to develop a greater understanding of the geobiology of sulfur karst systems, not just in the Rocky Mountains and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

description: Alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs is a major contributor to both proteomic diversity and control of gene expression levels. Splicing is tightly regulated in different tissues and developmental stages, and its disruption can lead to a wide range of human diseases. An important long-term goal in the splicing field is to determine a set of rules or “code” for splicing that will enable prediction of the splicing pattern of any primary transcript from its sequence. Outside of the core splice site motifs, the bulk of the information required for splicing is thought to be contained in exonic and intronic cis-regulatory elements that function by recruitment of sequence-specific RNA-binding protein factors that either activate or repress the use of adjacent splice sites. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge of splicing cis-regulatory elements and their context-dependent effects on splicing, emphasizing recent global/genome-wide studies and open questions.
title: Excitation of Hydrogen Atoms by Fast Protons
Creators: name: Fitchard, Edward Ellis
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1970

description: In this thesis a theoretical study is made of excitation of hydrogenic atom by charged particles such as protons or electrons. The approximation to the cross section for an inelastic scattering process is obtained under the following radically simplifying assumptions. The projectile is represented in its initial and final state by plane waves. All distortions are neglected whether they originate in an inelastic process or an elastic deflections of the charged particle by the nucleus. The perturbation of the atomic orbits between which the projectile induces transitions is neglected. Nonrelativistic hydrogenic wave functions are used for the electronic states. In this so called Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA), an expression for the radial integral associated with a transition from an initial state n' ℓ' m' to a final state nℓm is developed as a power series of the momentum transferred by the incident charged particle to the hydrogenic atom. Explicit expressions for the atomic form factor as a function of the momentum transfer associated with the transitions from 2s and 2p states of the hydrogen atom are obtained. Formulas for the coefficients in the series expansion are obtained for allowed transitions (2s-np,2p-ns,2p-nd) and the forbidden transitions (2s-ns,2s-nd,2s-nf,2p-np) . A comparison is made between the form factors for ls-2s and 2s-3p transitions in the neighborhood of q2 = o. Good agreement has been found between the exact and series formulas for low momentum transfer.

description: Ray-tracing is a powerful technique used in computer graphics and scientific simulations to model the propagation of waves. When it comes to ocean surface gravity waves, ray-tracing can provide valuable insights into wave propagation, including their interaction with ocean currents and the seafloor. Such insights are crucial for better understanding ocean wave physics and their role in climate, as waves are a major player in heat transfer and the exchange of gases between the ocean and the atmosphere. In the present work, we introduce a novel package to calculate the path of a wave propagating through the ocean. We developed the code in Rust for memory safety, high performance, robustness, and simple testing. The ray tracing uses the Runge-Kutta 4th order and bilinear interpolation methods to reduce integration error. The package includes supporting Python files to visualize the results. The components are tested individually, and the overall output is checked against known idealized cases. With these methods, our Rust crate can trace the propagation of a wave through a variable depth represented in cartesian coordinates and plot the results. These results are significant because accurately tracing the propagation of ocean waves with an efficient language will increase performance making it seamless to run large simulation ensembles. There are many reasonable opportunities for improvement in the future. The accuracy and realism of the program will improve by tracing bundles of multiple rays and accounting for the interactions with ocean currents. Additionally, the computational performance will improve by parallelizing the ray tracing.

description: Symptom information is primarily documented in free-text clinical notes and is not directly accessible for downstream applications. To address this challenge, information extraction approaches that can handle clinical language variation across different institutions and specialties are needed. In this paper, we present domain generalization for symptom extraction using pretraining and fine-tuning data that differs from the target domain in terms of institution and/or specialty and patient population. We extract symptom events using a transformer-based joint entity and relation extraction method. To reduce reliance on domain-specific features, we propose a domain generalization method that dynamically masks frequent symptoms words in the source domain. Additionally, we pretrain the transformer language model (LM) on task-related unlabeled texts for better representation. Our experiments indicate that masking and adaptive pretraining methods can significantly improve performance when the source domain is more distant from the target domain.

description: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST) will be a 10-year optical and near infrared survey that will image the entire visible sky every three nights. The science enabled by Rubin's LSST will be very broad, ranging from studies of small moving bodies in the solar system to the structure and evolution of the universe as a whole. In May this year the 3.2-Gigapixel Camera arrived at Rubin Observatory in Chile. In early 2025 it will be mounted on the telescope and on-sky science validation will begin. The start of full operations and execution of the LSST is expected to follow in late 2025. Rubin/LSST  will collect about 20 terabytes of multi-color imaging data every night, culminating in a 500 petabyte set of images and data products after 10 years. In this talk I will provide an update on the current status of Rubin/LSST construction and discuss how we are preparing the scientific community to analyse and do science with the LSST dataset.

description: Hydroxyl-selective electrophiles, including N-methylisatoic anhydride (NMIA) and 1-methyl-7-nitroisatoic anhydride (1M7), are broadly useful for RNA structure analysis because they react preferentially with the ribose 2′-OH group at conformationally unconstrained or flexible nucleotides. Each nucleotide in an RNA has the potential to form an adduct with these reagents to yield a comprehensive, nucleotide-resolution, view of RNA structure. However, it is possible that factors other than local structure modulate reactivity. To evaluate the influence of base identity on the intrinsic reactivity of each nucleotide, we analyze NMIA and 1M7 reactivity using four distinct RNAs, under both native and denaturing conditions. We show that guanosine and adenosine residues have identical intrinsic 2′-hydroxyl reactivities at pH 8.0 and are 1.4 and 1.7 times more reactive than uridine and cytidine, respectively. These subtle, but statistically significant, differences do not impact the ability of selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension-based (SHAPE) methods to establish an RNA secondary structure or monitor RNA folding in solution because base-specific influences are much smaller than the reactivity differences between paired and unpaired nucleotides.

description: We study a chiral Yukawa model mimicking the Higgs-top-bottom sector of the standard model. We re-analyze the conventional arguments that relate a lower bound for the Higgs mass with vacuum stability in the light of exact results for the regularized fermion determinant as well as in the framework of the functional renormalization group. In both cases, we find no indication for vacuum instability nor meta-stability induced by top-fluctuations if the cutoff is kept finite but arbitrary. A lower bound for the Higgs mass arises for the class of standard bare potentials of ϕ^4 type from the requirement of a well-defined functional integral (i.e., stability of the bare potential). This consistency bound can however be relaxed considerably by more general forms of the bare potential without necessarily introducing new meta-stable minima.

Spin-orbit-coupled spinor gap solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates

description: Spin-1 spin-orbit-coupled spinor Bose-Einstein condensates have been realized in experiment. We study spin-orbit-coupled spinor gap solitons in this experimentally realizable system with an optical lattice. The spin-dependent parity symmetry of the spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in properties of gap solitons. Two families of solitons with opposite spin-dependent parity are found. Using an approximating model by replacing the optical lattice with a Harmonic trap, we demonstrate the physical origination of these two families. For a large negative quadratic Zeeman shift, we also find a type of gap solitons that spontaneously breaks the spin-dependent parity symmetry due to the ferromagnetic spinor interactions.

description: BaCe$_{0.25}$Mn$_{0.75}$O$_{3-δ}$ (BCM), a non-stoichiometric oxide closely resembling a perovskite crystal structure, has recently emerged as a prospective contender for application in renewable energy harvesting by solar thermochemical hydrogen generation. Using solar energy, oxygen-vacancies can be created in BCM and the reduced crystal so obtained can, in turn, produce H2 by stripping oxygen from H2O. Therefore, a first step toward understanding the working mechanism and optimizing the performance of BCM, is a thorough and comparative analysis of the electronic structure of the pristine and the reduced material. In this paper, we probe the electronic structure of BCM using the combined effort of first-principles calculations and experimental O K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The computed projected density-of-states (PDOS) and orbital-plots are used to propose a simplified model for orbital-mixing between the oxygen and the ligand atoms. With the help of state-of-the-art simulations, we are able to find the origins of the XAS peaks and to categorize them on the basis of contribution from Ce and Mn. For the reduced crystal, the calculations show that, as a consequence of dielectric screening, the change in electron-density resulting from the reduction is strongly localized around the oxygen vacancy. Our experimental studies reveal a marked lowering of the first O K-edge peak in the reduced crystal which is shown to result from a diminished O-2p contribution to the frontier unoccupied orbitals, in accordance with the tight-binding scheme. Our study paves the way for investigation of the working-mechanism of BCM and for computational and experimental efforts aimed at design and discovery of efficient water-splitting oxides.

description: We put the Density-of-States (DoS) approach to Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations under a stress test by applying it to a physical problem with the worst possible sign problem: the real time evolution of a non-integrable quantum spin chain. Benchmarks against numerical exact diagonalisation and stochastic reweighting are presented. Both MC methods, the DoS approach and reweighting, allow for simulations of spin chains as long as $L=40$, far beyond exact diagonalisability, though only for short evolution times $t\lesssim 1$. We identify discontinuities of the density of states as one of the key problems in the MC simulations and propose to calculate some of the dominant contributions analytically, increasing the precision of our simulations by several orders of magnitude. Even after these improvements the density of states is found highly non-smooth and therefore the DoS approach cannot outperform reweighting. We prove this implication theoretically and provide numerical evidence, concluding that the DoS approach is not well suited for quantum real time simulations with discrete degrees of freedom.

description: This paper describes an adaptation of the Optimal Localized Averaging (OLA) inversion technique, originally developed for geo- and helioseismological applications, to the interpretation of solar spectroscopic data. It focuses on inverting the thermodynamical properties of the solar atmosphere assuming that the atmosphere and radiation field are in Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE). We leave inversions for magnetic field and non-LTE inversions for future work. The advantage with the OLA method is that it computes solutions that are optimally resolved (in depth) with minimal cross-talk error between variables. Additionally, the method allows for direct assessment of the vertical resolution of the inverted solutions. The primary challenges faced when adapting the method to spectroscopic inversions originate with the possible large amplitude differences between the atmospheric model used to initiate the inversion and the underlying atmosphere it aims to recover, necessitating the development of an iterative scheme. Here we describe the iterative OLA method we have developed for both single and multi-variable inversions and demonstrate its performance on simulated data and synthesized spectra. We note that when carrying out multi-variable inversions, employing response function amplification factors can address the inherent spectral-sensitivity bias that makes it hard to invert for less spectrally-sensitive variables. The OLA method can, in most cases, reliably invert as well as or better than the frequently employed Stokes Inversion based on Response functions (SIR) scheme, however some difficulties remain. In particular, the method struggles to recover large-scale offsets in the atmospheric stratification. We propose future strategies to improve this aspect.

description: Full-length cDNAs encoding macrophage inhibitory factor-2 (MIF-2) were cloned from Teladorsagia circumcincta (TcMIF-2) and Haemonchus contortus (HcMIF-2). TcMIF-2 and HcMIF-2 cDNA (342 bp) encoded proteins of 114 amino acids, each of which was present as a single band of about 16 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Multiple alignments of the protein sequences showed homology of 84% between TcMIF-2 and HcMIF-2, 54–76% with MIF-2s of seven nematodes, but low homology with other MIF sequences. The predicted three-dimensional structures revealed an overall structural homology of TcMIF-2 and HcMIF-2, highly conserved binding and catalytic sites and minor differences in the tautomerase binding site residues in other nematode MIF-2 homologues. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using helminth and mammalian MIF-1 and MIF-2 sequences. Soluble C-terminal MIF-2 proteins were cloned in arabinose inducible promotor AY2.4, expressed in Escherichia coli strain AY2.4 and purified. Recombinant TcMIF-2 and HcMIF-2 had similar enzyme activities in a standard tautomerase assay. Recombinant HcMIF-2 activity was approximately halved by storage at 4 °C, −20 °C or −70 °C. Antibodies in serum and saliva from field-immune, but not nematode-naïve, sheep recognised recombinant HcMIF-2 and TcMIF-2 in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Recognition of the recombinant proteins by antibodies generated by exposure of sheep to the native enzyme indicates similar antigenicity of the two proteins.

description: We present a methodology for constructing modified gravity (MG) constrained simulations of the local Universe using positions and peculiar velocities from the CosmicFlows data set. Our analysis focuses on the following MG models: the normal branch of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (nDGP) model and Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ model. We develop a model independent methodology for constructing constrained simulations with any given power spectra and numerically calculated linear growth functions. Initial conditions (ICs) for a set of constrained simulations are constructed for the standard cosmological model $Λ$CDM and the MG models. Differences between the model's reconstructed Wiener filtered density and the resultant simulation density are presented showing the importance for the generation of MG constrained ICs to study the subtle effects of MG in the local Universe. These are the first MG constrained simulations ever produced. The current work paves the way to improved approximate methods for models with scale-dependent growth functions, such as $f(R)$, and for high-resolution hydrodynamical MG zoom-in simulations of the local Universe.

description: Donald Trump made Political Correctness (PC) a key part of his 2016 presidential campaign (Conway III, 2018; Gantt Shafer, 2017), and it has been accorded a role in what have been dubbed the ‘Culture Wars’ in both the UK (Duffy et al., 2021) and the US (Piacenza et al., 2019). Nevertheless, PC has received little attention from social psychologists and remains an ill-defined construct. The current study aims to clarify the measurement and correlates of PC through the secondary analysis of 15 independent samples from 14 large public opinion surveys: four from the United Kingdom (UK) and 10 from the United States (US). A multi-level meta-analysis will be used to synthesize results across these surveys.

description: Next generation neutrino oscillation experiments are expected to measure the remaining oscillation parameters with very good precision. They will have unprecedented capabilities to search for new physics that modify oscillations. DUNE, with its broad band beam, good particle identification, and relatively high energies will provide an excellent environment to search for new physics. If deviations from the standard three-flavor oscillation picture are seen however, it is crucial to know which new physics scenario is found so that it can be verified elsewhere and theoretically understood. We investigate several benchmark new physics scenarios by looking at existing long-baseline accelerator neutrino data from NOvA and T2K and determine at what sensitivity DUNE can differentiate among them. We consider sterile neutrinos and both vector and scalar non-standard neutrino interactions, all with new complex phases, the latter of which could conceivably provide absolute neutrino mass scale information. We find that, in many interesting cases, DUNE will have good model discrimination. We also perform a new fit to NOvA and T2K data with scalar NSI.

We focus on the perturbation at the attractor stage in which the first and the second slow-roll conditions are satisfied. The scalar perturbation exhibits the corrections to the chaotic inflation model in general relativity. We find that the tensor-to-scalar ratio becomes smaller than that of the usual chaotic inflation.

description: Histone mRNAs are the only eukaryotic cellular mRNAs that are not polyadenylated. Synthesis of mature histone mRNA requires only a single processing reaction: an endonucleolytic cleavage between a conserved stem–loop and a purine-rich downstream element to form the 3′ end. The stem–loop binding protein (SLBP) is required for processing, and following processing, histone mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm, where SLBP participates in translation of the histone mRNA and is also involved in regulation of histone mRNA degradation. Here we present an analysis of histone mRNA metabolism in cells with highly reduced levels of SLBP using RNA interference. Knocking down SLBP in U2OS cells results in a reduction in the rate of cell growth and an accumulation of cells in S-phase. Surprisingly, there is only a modest (twofold) decrease in histone mRNA levels. Much of histone mRNA in the SLBP knockdown cells is properly processed but is retained in the nucleus. The processed histone mRNA in SLBP knockdown cells is not rapidly degraded when DNA replication is inhibited. These results suggest a previously undescribed role for SLBP in histone mRNA export.

description: The sensitivity for double beta decay studies of Xe-134 and Xe-124 is investigated assuming a potential large scale Xe experiment developed for dark matter searches depleted in Xe-136. The opportunity for an observation of the 2nu double beta decay of Xe-134 is explored for various scenarios. A positive observation should be possible for all calculated nuclear matrix elements. The detection of 2$ν$ ECEC of Xe-124 can be probed in all scenarios covering the theoretical predicted half-life uncertainties and a potential search for Xe-126 is discussed. The sensitivity to beta+/EC decay of Xe-124 is discussed and a positive observation might be possible, while beta+/beta+ decay still remains unobservable. The performed studies take into account solar pp-neutrino interactions, $^{85}$Kr beta decay and remaining Xe-136 double beta decay as background components in the depleted detector.

description: Pretraining multimodal models on Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provides a means of learning representations that can transfer to downstream tasks with minimal supervision. Recent multimodal models induce soft local alignments between image regions and sentences. This is of particular interest in the medical domain, where alignments might highlight regions in an image relevant to specific phenomena described in free-text. While past work has suggested that attention "heatmaps" can be interpreted in this manner, there has been little evaluation of such alignments. We compare alignments from a state-of-the-art multimodal (image and text) model for EHR with human annotations that link image regions to sentences. Our main finding is that the text has an often weak or unintuitive influence on attention; alignments do not consistently reflect basic anatomical information. Moreover, synthetic modifications -- such as substituting "left" for "right" -- do not substantially influence highlights. Simple techniques such as allowing the model to opt out of attending to the image and few-shot finetuning show promise in terms of their ability to improve alignments with very little or no supervision. We make our code and checkpoints open-source.

description: We catalog the 443 bright supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in $2018-2020$ along with the 519 supernovae recovered by ASAS-SN and 516 additional $m_{peak}\leq18$ mag supernovae missed by ASAS-SN. Our statistical analysis focuses primarily on the 984 supernovae discovered or recovered in ASAS-SN $g$-band observations. The complete sample of 2427 ASAS-SN supernovae includes earlier $V$-band samples and unrecovered supernovae. For each supernova, we identify the host galaxy, its UV to mid-IR photometry, and the offset of the supernova from the center of the host. Updated light curves, redshifts, classifications, and host galaxy identifications supersede earlier results. With the increase of the limiting magnitude to $g\leq18$ mag, the ASAS-SN sample is roughly complete up to $m_{peak}=16.7$ mag and is $90\%$ complete for $m_{peak}\leq17.0$ mag. This is an increase from the $V$-band sample where it was roughly complete up to $m_{peak}=16.2$ mag and $70\%$ complete for $m_{peak}\leq17.0$ mag.

description: We describe the GRB and All-sky Monitor Experiment (GAME) mission submitted by a large international collaboration (Italy, Germany, Czech Repubblic, Slovenia, Brazil) in response to the 2012 ESA call for a small mission opportunity for a launch in 2017 and presently under further investigation for subsequent opportunities. The general scientific objective is to perform measurements of key importance for GRB science and to provide the wide astrophysical community of an advanced X-ray all-sky monitoring system. The proposed payload was based on silicon drift detectors (~1-50 keV), CdZnTe (CZT) detectors (~15-200 keV) and crystal scintillators in phoswich (NaI/CsI) configuration (~20 keV-20 MeV), three well established technologies, for a total weight of ~250 kg and a required power of ~240 W. Such instrumentation allows a unique, unprecedented and very powerful combination of large field of view (3-4 sr), a broad energy energy band extending from ~1 keV up to ~20 MeV, an energy resolution as good as ~300 eV in the 1-30 keV energy range, a source location accuracy of ~1 arcmin. The mission profile included a launch (e.g., by Vega) into a low Earth orbit, a baseline sky scanning mode plus pointed observations of regions of particular interest, data transmission to ground via X-band (4.8 Gb/orbit, Alcantara and Malindi ground stations), and prompt transmission of GRB / transient triggers.

The Drosophila U7 snRNP proteins Lsm10 and Lsm11 are required for histone pre-mRNA processing and play an essential role in development

description: Metazoan replication-dependent histone mRNAs are not polyadenylated, and instead terminate in a conserved stem–loop structure generated by an endonucleolytic cleavage of the pre-mRNA involving U7 snRNP. U7 snRNP contains two like-Sm proteins, Lsm10 and Lsm11, which replace SmD1 and SmD2 in the canonical heptameric Sm protein ring that binds spliceosomal snRNAs. Here we show that mutations in either the Drosophila Lsm10 or the Lsm11 gene disrupt normal histone pre-mRNA processing, resulting in production of poly(A)+ histone mRNA as a result of transcriptional read-through to cryptic polyadenylation sites present downstream from each histone gene. This molecular phenotype is indistinguishable from that which we previously described for mutations in U7 snRNA. Lsm10 protein fails to accumulate in Lsm11 mutants, suggesting that a pool of Lsm10–Lsm11 dimers provides precursors for U7 snRNP assembly. Unexpectedly, U7 snRNA was detected in Lsm11 and Lsm1 mutants and could be precipitated with anti-trimethylguanosine antibodies, suggesting that it assembles into a snRNP particle in the absence of Lsm10 and Lsm11. However, this U7 snRNA could not be detected at the histone locus body, suggesting that Lsm10 and Lsm11 are necessary for U7 snRNP localization. In contrast to U7 snRNA null mutants, which are viable, Lsm10 and Lsm11 mutants do not survive to adulthood. Because we cannot detect differences in the histone mRNA phenotype between Lsm10 or Lsm11 and U7 mutants, we propose that the different terminal developmental phenotypes result from the participation of Lsm10 and Lsm11 in an essential function that is distinct from histone pre-mRNA processing and that is independent of U7 snRNA.

description: This paper describes Fields2Cover, a novel open source library for coverage path planning (CPP) for agricultural vehicles. While there are several CPP solutions nowadays, there have been limited efforts to unify them into an open source library and provide benchmarking tools to compare their performance. Fields2Cover provides a framework for planning coverage paths, developing novel techniques, and benchmarking state-of-the-art algorithms. The library features a modular and extensible architecture that supports various vehicles and can be used for a variety of applications, including farms. Its core modules are: a headland generator, a swath generator, a route planner and a path planner. An interface to the Robot Operating System (ROS) is also supplied as an add-on. In this paper, the functionalities of the library for planning a coverage path in agriculture are demonstrated using 8 state-of-the-art methods and 7 objective functions in simulation and field experiments.

title: Modeling Charge Diffusion from Proton-Induced Ionization Tracks in Silicon Photodiode Arrays
Creators: name: Smith, Lee Cole
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: We are modeling the combined problem of generation and collection of charge carriers created during passage of energetic protons through a silicon photodiode array. We have also experimentally obtained pulse-height distributions of noise charge collected during exposure of a Digicon-type diode array to 21 and 75 MeV protons. It is shown that the magnitude of charge collected by a diode from each proton event is determined not only by diffusion, but by statistical considerations involving the ionization process itself. Utilizing analytical solutions to the diffusion equation for transport of minority carriers, together with the Vavilov-Landau theory of energy-loss fluctuations in thin absorbers, we present simulations of the pulse-height spectra which follow the experimental distributions fairly well, and provide us with an estimate for the minority carrier diffusion length Ld of 90 microns.
