description: Muscle cells with sarcomeric structure exhibit highly nontrivial passive mechanical response. The difficulty of its continuum modeling is due to the presence of long-range interactions transmitted by extended protein skeleton. To build a rheological model for muscle 'material' we use a stochastic micromodel and derive a linear response theory for a half-sarcomere. Instead of the first order rheological equation, anticipated by A.V. Hill on the phenomenological grounds, we obtain a novel second order equation. We use the values of the microscopic parameters for frog muscles to show that the proposed rheological model is in excellent quantitative agreement with physiological experiments.

description: We consider a mathematical model for a two-particle system driven by the spatial gradient of a concentration field of chemicals with conservative attractive interactions in one dimension. This setup corresponds to an experimental system with floating camphor particles at a water surface. Repulsive interaction is introduced, as well as self-propelling force, through the concentration field of camphor molecules at the water surface. Here we newly adopt the attractive lateral capillary force due to the deformation of the water surface. The particles experience competing dissipative repulsion and conservative attraction. We numerically investigated the mathematical model, and found six different modes of motion. The theoretical approach revealed that some of such mode transitions can be understood in terms of bifurcation.

description: We report on the discovery of eight repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources found using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. These sources span a dispersion measure (DM) range of 103.5 to 1281 pc cm$^{-3}$. They display varying degrees of activity: six sources were detected twice, another three times, and one ten times. These eight repeating FRBs likely represent the bright and/or high-rate end of a distribution of infrequently repeating sources. For all sources, we determine sky coordinates with uncertainties of $\sim$10$^\prime$. FRB 180916.J0158+65 has a burst-averaged DM = $349.2 \pm 0.3$ pc cm$^{-3}$ and a low DM excess over the modelled Galactic maximum (as low as $\sim$20 pc cm$^{-3}$); this source also has a Faraday rotation measure (RM) of $-114.6 \pm 0.6$ rad m$^{-2}$, much lower than the RM measured for FRB 121102. FRB 181030.J1054+73 has the lowest DM for a repeater, $103.5 \pm 0.3$ pc cm$^{-3}$, with a DM excess of $\sim$ 70 pc cm$^{-3}$. Both sources are interesting targets for multi-wavelength follow-up due to their apparent proximity. The DM distribution of our repeater sample is statistically indistinguishable from that of the first 12 CHIME/FRB sources that have not repeated. We find, with 4$σ$ significance, that repeater bursts are generally wider than those of CHIME/FRB bursts that have not repeated, suggesting different emission mechanisms. Our repeater events show complex morphologies that are reminiscent of the first two discovered repeating FRBs. The repetitive behavior of these sources will enable interferometric localizations and subsequent host galaxy identifications.

description: Layered oxide cathodes, especially thick-film electrodes like lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, NMC, are under continuously investigation to meet the ambitious requirements, e.g. 700 Wh/l, for future Li-ion batteries in electric drive applications. The objective of the most current studies is to reduce the Co content with a concurrent increasing Ni-content in the NMC cathodes such as NMC 811 [1]. It must not leave the fact out of consideration, that NMC cathodes suffer from low high rate capability and corresponding low capacity retention at high C-rates. In particular, the negative impact is even higher for thick-film high energy cathodes. To counteract the negative effect, high repetition ultrafast laser ablation is applied to create appropriate 3D electrode designs [2]. New Li+-diffusion pathways, applied by the laser structuring process, shell enhance electrolyte wettability and reduce overpotentials at high C-rates. It is attempted to integrate the laser structuring into a continuous roll-to-roll electrode production process. In this way, the positive properties achieved through 3D structuring can also be obtained for Li-ion batteries that are produced on a large scale. By using this novel production technology, future NMC batteries can be produced with improved performance characteristics for xEV applications. Furthermore, this technology can also be applied for other generation 3b battery cells. This work is performed under the frame of the RealLi! project, in which the following aspects are covered: a) Development of thick film NMC811 electrodes with high areal capacity b) Passivation approach to improve cycle stability and lifetime c) Cell Assembly and electrochemical characterization d) Holistic evaluation of the potential environmental impact of the NMC811 cells via life cycle assessment e) An experimentally validated electrochemical model to describe electrode structures and their optimization. f) Improved electrochemical performance of NMC811 electrodes on a laboratory scale by using 3D laser structuring. g) Scale up of the 3D laser structuring process and corresponding improved electrochemical performance of NMC811 electrodes in pouch cell format by using 3D laser ablation.
Chasing the phantom: A closer look at Type Ia supernovae and the dark energy equation of state

description: Some recent observations provide $> 2σ$ evidence for phantom dark energy -- a value of the dark energy equation of state less than the cosmological-constant value of $-1$. We focus on constraining the equation of state by combining current data from the most mature geometrical probes of dark energy: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS3), the Supernova Cosmology Project (Union2.1), and the Pan-STARRS1 survey (PS1); cosmic microwave background measurements from Planck and WMAP9; and a combination of measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations. The combined data are consistent with $w = -1$ for the Union2.1 sample, though they present moderate ($\sim 1.9σ$) evidence for a phantom value when either the SNLS3 or PS1 sample is used instead. We study the dependence of the constraints on the redshift, stretch, color, and host galaxy stellar mass of SNe, but we find no unusual trends. In contrast, the constraints strongly depend on any external $H_0$ prior: a higher adopted value for the direct measurement of the Hubble constant ($H_0 \gtrsim 71~\text{km/s/Mpc}$) leads to $\gtrsim 2σ$ evidence for phantom dark energy. Given Planck data, we can therefore make the following statement at $2σ$ confidence: either the SNLS3 and PS1 data have systematics that remain unaccounted for or the Hubble constant is below 71 km/s/Mpc; else the dark energy equation of state is indeed phantom.

description: Strongly non-Markovian random walks offer a promising modeling framework for understanding animal and human mobility, yet, few analytical results are available for these processes. Here we solve exactly a model with long range memory where a random walker intermittently revisits previously visited sites according to a reinforced rule. The emergence of frequently visited locations generates very slow diffusion, logarithmic in time, whereas the walker probability density tends to a Gaussian. This scaling form does not emerge from the Central Limit Theorem but from an unusual balance between random and long-range memory steps. In single trajectories, occupation patterns are heterogeneous and have a scale-free structure. The model exhibits good agreement with data of free-ranging capuchin monkeys.

description: In this paper, we consider some aspects of the physics of the partly pinned (PP) systems obtained by freezing in place particles in equilibrium bulk fluid configurations in the normal (nonglassy) state. We first discuss the configurational overlap and the disconnected density correlation functions, both in the homogeneous and heterogeneous cases, using the tools of the theory of adsorption in disordered porous solids. The relevant Ornstein-Zernike equations are derived, and asymptotic results valid in the regime where the perturbation due to the pinning process is small are obtained. Second, we consider the homogeneous PP lattice gas as a means to make contact between pinning processes in particle and spin systems and show that it can be straightforwardly mapped onto a random field Ising model with a strongly asymmetric bimodal distribution of the field. Possible implications of these results for studies of the glass transition based on PP systems are also discussed.

Investigating ‘active citizenship’: a journey toward the political heart of education in the company of Hannah Arendt.

description: The formation of ‘active citizens’ has become a desirable educational outcome in mainstream secondary and adult education in the UK. However, there is a wide range of interpretations regarding what being ‘active’ as a citizen actually involves and a lack of consensus on the role of education in this process. Drawing on Arendt’s conception of action as the basis of political activity where “to be free and to act are the same” (Arendt 1968a: 153), I propose an understanding of ‘active citizenship’ which involves the appearance of an individual citizen in relationship with the shared public world. It is argued that this relationship is where education and politics meet, and that the nature of educational practice can have a significant impact on that. I propose, following Hannam (2016), that “bringing the child to human togetherness: to action in plurality” (128) is a helpful way to understand an educative process that enables a political dimension to emerge in the public space of a classroom. Examples, from a range of educational settings, are used to explore what this means in practice. It is argued that the cultivation of an ‘embedded reflexivity’, as a form of reflective practice, enables educators to become more aware of the potential for freedom and political action in their endeavours. A unique feature of this study is the storying methodology, which draws on Arendt’s political hermeneutic phenomenology (Borren 2010, Van Manen 2014). Whereas Arendt used historical and contemporary events to examine and illustrate her concepts, I use narratives from my professional practice as an educator in both secondary and adult sectors. It is asked of each activity to what extent it enhances the “task of renewing a common world” (Arendt 1968b: 196). This thesis makes a distinctive contribution to the application of some of Arendt’s ideas to conceptualise the challenge of education for an engaged, active citizenry. It also provides provocative illustrations across a variety of contexts. Arendt’s exhortation to “think what we are doing” (Arendt 1998: 5) is embodied here through the examination of the practice of one educator, with the intention to reach out to many.
Orbital Polarization in Strained LaNiO$_{3}$: Structural Distortions and Correlation Effects

description: Transition-metal heterostructures offer the fascinating possibility of controlling orbital degrees of freedom via strain. Here, we investigate theoretically the degree of orbital polarization that can be induced by epitaxial strain in LaNiO$_3$ films. Using combined electronic structure and dynamical mean-field theory methods we take into account both structural distortions and electron correlations and discuss their relative influence. We confirm that Hund's rule coupling tends to decrease the polarization and point out that this applies to both the $d^8\underline{L}$ and $d^7$ local configurations of the Ni ions. Our calculations are in good agreement with recent experiments, which revealed sizable orbital polarization under tensile strain. We discuss why full orbital polarization is hard to achieve in this specific system and emphasize the general limitations that must be overcome to achieve this goal.

Half-integral conservative post-Newtonian approximations in the redshift factor of black hole binaries

description: Recent perturbative self-force computations (Shah, Friedman & Whiting, submitted to Phys. Rev. {\bf D}, arXiv:1312.1952 [gr-qc]), both numerical and analytical, have determined that half-integral post-Newtonian terms arise in the conservative dynamics of black-hole binaries moving on exactly circular orbits. We look at the possible origin of these terms within the post-Newtonian approximation, find that they essentially originate from non-linear "tail-of-tail" integrals and show that, as demonstrated in the previous paper, their first occurrence is at the 5.5PN order. The post-Newtonian method we use is based on a multipolar-post-Minkowskian treatment of the field outside a general matter source, which is re-expanded in the near zone and extended inside the source thanks to a matching argument. Applying the formula obtained for generic sources to compact binaries, we obtain the redshift factor of circular black hole binaries (without spins) at 5.5PN order in the extreme mass ratio limit. Our result fully agrees with the determination of the 5.5PN coefficient by means of perturbative self-force computations reported in the previously cited paper.

Adaptive capacity and the responses of local governance actors to evolutionary political-economic change: lessons from the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership

description: This thesis critically examines how micro-level adaptive processes and capacities operate and unfold in local/regional economic development governance in the context of cumulative and often disruptive political-economic change. It argues that states often seek to promote the adaptability and growth of local/regional economies by reconfiguring subnational governance arrangements but the evolutionary consequences of centrally driven state transformation processes for local/regional adaptation remain unclear. Evolutionary economic geography (EEG) provides concepts, mechanisms and models of adaptation but has tended to focus on firms and macro-structural economic change and pay limited attention to how the critical micro-level adaptive processes at work are influenced by power relations, political factors, and the state. This thesis focuses on England’s evolving economic development governance landscape to investigate how institutional configurations and governance mechanisms promote or inhibit how local governance actors adapt to change and enact place-based leadership. Addressing EEG’s need for more qualitative case studies, the research employed secondary document analysis, in-depth interviews with ‘elites’ – senior-level professionals and politicians – and meeting observations enabled by gatekeeper-informants to examine the emergence and evolution of the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership. The research showed that, in novel and incoherent institutional-geographical contexts permeated by intensive state restructuring, local agents are predisposed to focus more on the immediate political problems generated by their central government principals than on addressing longer-term economic problems that are, ostensibly at least, the purpose of restructuring. The thesis argues that this can have an acculturating effect as adaptation to the pressures of evolutionary state transformation becomes routinised in local/regional economic development partnerships. Micro-level adaptation unfolds as a power-inflected, multi-dimensional process with political and economic strands. Static institutional fixes are undermined by dynamic adaptive processes, and micro-level adaptive capacities – learning, networking, storytelling and sensemaking – are diverted by governance mechanisms in ways underplayed in existing research. By critically examining the risks inherent in the state’s continuing experimentation with scales and forms of economic development governance, the thesis informs academic and policy endeavours to understand and facilitate political-economic change in a way that more effectively nurtures local/regional adaptive capacity.
Kagome Lattice Hubbard model at half filling

description: We investigate the Kagome lattice Hubbard model at half-filling by variational Monte-Carlo with testing the U(1)-Dirac spin liquid, uniform and valence bond crystal states. Even for the large-$U$ case the U(1) Dirac state, being the optimal state in the Heisenberg model, cannot be recovered. While the finite $U$ Hubbard model allows the introduction of vacancies in a different manner compared to the $t-J$ model, the physics appears to have many similarities. In particular a valence bond crystal is formed in the intermediate-$U$ regime. We observe an impact of the formation of this valence bond crystal on a possible Mott-transition in this model and discuss the properties of the wave-function.

description: I prove an envelope theorem with a converse: the envelope formula is equivalent to a first-order condition. Like Milgrom and Segal's (2002) envelope theorem, my result requires no structure on the choice set. I use the converse envelope theorem to extend to general outcomes and preferences the canonical result in mechanism design that any increasing allocation is implementable, and apply this to selling information.

description: We review the modern view of fluid dynamics as an effective low energy, long wavelength theory of many body systems at finite temperature. We introduce the concept of a nearly perfect fluid, defined by a ratio $η/s$ of shear viscosity to entropy density of order $\hbar/k_B$ or less. Nearly perfect fluids exhibit hydrodynamic behavior at all distances down to the microscopic length scale of the fluid. We summarize arguments that suggest that there is fundamental limit to fluidity, and we review the current experimental situation of measurements of $η/s$ in strongly coupled quantum fluids.

Endogenous retroviral proteins as potential drug targets for merlin-deficient tumours

description: Merlin is a tumour suppressor, and its loss is the major cause of a hereditary disease Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) characterised by the development of multiple tumours of the nervous system such as schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. Current surgical treatments and radiotherapy for this group of tumours are not fully effective and there is an urgent need for new therapeutic options. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are retroviruses that have been incorporated into the human genome during evolution, now comprising 5% of it. The majority of HERVs are defective except for a few groups, including type K (HERV-K) which kept full-intact open reading frames. HERV-K (HML-2) is transcriptionally active in many cancer tissues and tumour cell lines, and several studies have highlighted its role in cancer. Preliminary data showed overall HERV-K upregulation in Merlin-deficient schwannoma, and thus this project aims to investigate the role of HERV-K (HML-2) in Merlin-deficient schwannoma and meningioma development and to investigate the potential of HERV-K as a novel therapeutic target as well as testing anti-retroviral drugs’ efficacy for the treatment of these tumours. I have demonstrated that HERV-K (HML-2) Env overexpression (Env o/e) in primary Schwann cells resulted in increased proliferation and elevated expression of the transcription factor cJun. Env o/e also increased pERK1/2 activity and upregulated S phase cyclin A2. I have also revealed that HERV-K Env overexpression is regulated by TEAD-mediated transcription both in Merlin-deficient schwannoma and grade I meningioma. Furthermore, I have successfully tested the FDA approved retroviral protease inhibitors Ritonavir, Atazanavir and Lopinavir which could be potentially repurposed for the treatment of Merlin-deficient schwannoma and grade I meningioma. Ritonavir and Lopinavir effectively decreased the proliferation of Merlin-deficient primary schwannoma cells at concentrations much lower than have already been achieved clinically. Atazanavir showed the same effect in primary schwannoma cells but at a higher concentration than the other two drugs. In conclusion, HERV-K (HML-2) Env plays a contributory role in schwannoma tumorigenesis, and possibly meningioma tumourigenesis. The mechanism of HERV-K upregulation in Merlin-deficient tumours is partly driven by the TEAD transcription factors. Lastly, retroviral protease inhibitors Ritonavir and Lopinavir are suggested as potential treatments for NF2-associated tumours.
The important consequences of the reversible heat production in nerves and the adiabaticity of the action potential

description: It has long been known that there is no measurable heat production associated with the nerve pulse. Rather, one finds that heat production is biphasic, and a heat release during the first phase of the action potential is followed by the reabsorption of a similar amount of heat during the second phase. We review the long history the measurement of heat production in nerves and provide a new analysis of these findings focusing on the thermodynamics of adiabatic and isentropic processes. We begin by considering adiabatic oscillations in gases, waves in layers, oscillations of springs and the reversible (or irreversible) charging and discharging of capacitors. We then apply these ideas to the heat signature of nerve pulses. Finally, we compare the temperature changes expected from the Hodgkin-Huxley model and the soliton theory for nerves. We demonstrate that heat production in nerves cannot be explained as an irreversible charging and discharging of a membrane capacitor as it is proposed in the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Instead, we conclude that it is consistent with an adiabatic pulse. However, if the nerve pulse is adiabatic, completely different physics is required to explain its features. Membrane processes must then be reversible and resemble the oscillation of springs more than resembling "a burning fuse of gunpowder" (quote A. L. Hodgkin). Theories acknowledging the adiabatic nature of the nerve pulse have recently been discussed by various authors. It forms the central core of the soliton model, which considers the nerve pulse as a localized sound pulse.

description: Motivated by the fast adoption of WebAssembly, we propose the first functional pipeline to support the superoptimization of WebAssembly bytecode. Our pipeline works over LLVM and Souper. We evaluate our superoptimization pipeline with 12 programs from the Rosetta code project. Our pipeline improves the code section size of 8 out of 12 programs. We discuss the challenges faced in superoptimization of WebAssembly with two case studies.

Year: 2001

description: The use of reefs by both anglers and divers has increased steadily since the start of the Reef Program in 1984. The participation, effort and catch of New Jersey's ocean recreational boat wreck/reef/structure fishing and diving activities were surveyed during April-November 2000 to assess the effectiveness of the State's artificial reef construction program and to collect information necessary for management of reef fisheries. This document reports on the results of the survey, including the estimated size of the NJ fleet, the number of man-days of fishing and diving, the amount of activities around artificial reefs, and the amount and type of fish caught by anglers and divers on wrecks and reefs. Length-frequency data are presented for 7,140 fish of 5 species.
Works of St. Ephrem the Syrian.  Volume 4

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1737

description: Begun by Peter Benedictus (Mobarak) and continued by Stephen Evodius Assemani, the great Roman edition of Ephrem’s works, based on Vatican manuscripts, was the result of the first major effort to publish the famous Syrian’s literary remains in large number. Volumes 1-3 contain the Syriac works with Latin translation, and volumes 4-6 contain works in Greek (and a small number in Latin) attributed to Ephrem, these too with Latin translation. This edition laid the foundation for further editions and translations of Ephrem’s works in Syriac by Overbeck, Bickell, Lamy, and others. While Ephrem’s Syriac corpus has been reedited more recently by Beck, this edition from a vital age of European Syriac scholarship remains worthy of study for its presentation and perspective. Scholars interested in Syriac literature and the history of its study in the west will be especially interested in this monumental edition.
