description: Ultra-hot Jupiters are emerging as a new class of exoplanets. Studying their chemical compositions and temperature structures will improve the understanding of their mass loss rate as well as their formation and evolution. We present the detection of ionized calcium in the two hottest giant exoplanets - KELT-9b and WASP-33b. By utilizing transit datasets from CARMENES and HARPS-N observations, we achieved high confidence level detections of Ca II using the cross-correlation method. We further obtain the transmission spectra around the individual lines of the Ca II H&K doublet and the near-infrared triplet, and measure their line profiles. The Ca II H&K lines have an average line depth of 2.02 $\pm$ 0.17 % (effective radius of 1.56 Rp) for WASP-33b and an average line depth of 0.78 $\pm$ 0.04 % (effective radius of 1.47 Rp) for KELT-9b, which indicates that the absorptions are from very high upper atmosphere layers close to the planetary Roche lobes. The observed Ca II lines are significantly deeper than the predicted values from the hydrostatic models. Such a discrepancy is probably a result of hydrodynamic outflow that transports a significant amount of Ca II into the upper atmosphere. The prominent Ca II detection with the lack of significant Ca I detection implies that calcium is mostly ionized in the upper atmospheres of the two planets.

description: Within the framework of the recently proposed Taylor-Lagrange regularization scheme - which leads to finite elementary amplitudes in $4$-dimensional space-time with no additional dimensionful scales - we show that the trace of the energy-momentum tensor does not show any anomalous contribution even though quantum corrections are considered. Moreover, since the only renormalization we can think of within this scheme is a finite renormalization of the bare parameters to give the physical ones, the canonical dimension of quantum fields is also preserved by the use of this regularization scheme.

description: We study the inhomogeneous continuum random trees (ICRT) that arise as weak limits of birthday trees. We give a description of the exploration process, a function defined on [0,1] that encodes the structure of an ICRT, and also of its width process, determining the size of layers in order of height. These processes turn out to be transformations of bridges with exchangeable increments, which have already appeared in other ICRT related topics such as stochastic additive coalescence. The results rely on two different constructions of birthday trees from processes with exchangeable increments, on weak convergence arguments, and on general theory on continuum random trees.

description: Certain quantum states are well-known to be particularly fragile in the presence of decoherence, as illustrated by Schrodinger's famous gedanken cat experiment. It has been better appreciated more recently that quantum states can be characterized in a hierarchy of quantum quantities such entanglement, quantum correlations, and quantum coherence. It has been conjectured that each of these quantities have various degrees of fragility in the presence of decoherence. Here we experimentally confirm this conjecture by preparing tripartite photonic states and subjecting them to controlled amounts of dephasing. When the dephasing is applied to all the qubits, we find that the entanglement is the most fragile quantity, followed by the quantum coherence, then mutual information. This is in agreement with the widely held expectation that multipartite quantum correlations are a highly fragile manifestation of quantumness. We also perform dephasing on one out of the three qubits on star and $ W \bar{W} $ states. Here the distribution of the correlations and coherence in the state becomes more important in relation to the dephasing location.
On Black Hole Area Quantization and Echoes

description: In this work we argue that black hole area quantization of Bekenstein and Mukhanov should not give rise to measurable effects in terms of so-called gravitational wave echoes during black hole mergers. We outline that the quantum spectrum of a black hole should be washed out during and after black hole mergers, and hence one should not expect echoes in this scenario. The extreme broadening of the spectrum is due to the large particle emission rate during ringdown. Our results question key assumptions being made in recent literature on this topic.

description: We highlight here several solutions developed to make high-level Cherenkov data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. The first three FAIR principles may be ensured by properly indexing the data and using community standards, protocols and services, for example provided by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). However, the reusability principle is particularly subtle as the question of trust is raised. Provenance information, that describes the data origin and all transformations performed, is essential to ensure this trust, and it should come with the proper granularity and level of details. We developed a prototype platform to make the first H.E.S.S. public test data findable and accessible through the Virtual Observatory (VO). The exposed high-level data follows the gamma-ray astronomy data format (GADF) proposed as a community standard to ensure wider interoperability. We also designed a provenance management system in connection with the development of pipelines and analysis tools for CTA (ctapipe and gammapy), in order to collect rich and detailed provenance information, as recommended by the FAIR reusability principle. The prototype platform thus implements the main functionalities of a science gateway, including data search and access, online processing, and traceability of the various actions performed by a user.
title: Characterization of Inactive and Stress-Induced Active Forms of the Transcription Factor HSF1: An analysis at the cellular level
Creators: name: Vujanac, Milos
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: In mammalian cells, the heat shock response is mediated by the heat shock transcription fact or HSF1 that forms active, DNA- binding homotrimers during temperature stress. The subcellular localization of the inactive form of HSF1 has been of gr eat interest for the potential implications in signaling in this system.
 I have detected the inactive form of HSF1 mostly in the nucleus of diverse mammalian cell lines. However , I have found that HSF1 is not confined to the nucleus , but continuously shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm at a minimum rate of 1 molecule sec-1. A possible link of shuttling with the functional state of HSF1 is suggested by the observation that the shuttling cycle is discontinued during mild heat stress and resumes promptly during stress relaxation . A similar block of nuclear export is observed for deregulated mutants of HSF1 that trimerize at 37 °C, suggesting that the trimerization step inhibits an export activity.
 By mutational analysis I showed that HSF1 contains an unusual bipartite nuclear localization signal. Ongoing experiments are defining sequence requirements for nuclear export, most probably on a pathway distinct from Exportin-1 as judged from the refractoriness of nuclear export of HSF1 to Leptomycin B.
 I discuss a possible role of shuttling in compartment specific modifications of HSF1 or associations with co-factors.

description: We present new computations of the ionizing spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and Lyman continuum (Lyc) and HeI continuum photon emission rates, for hot O-type and early B-type stars. We consider solar metallicity stars, with effective temperatures ranging from 25,000 to 55,000 K and surface gravities (cm s^-2) logg ranging from 3 to 4, covering the full range of spectral types and luminosity classes for hot stars. We use our updated (WM-basic) code to construct radiation-driven wind atmosphere models for hot stars. Our models include the coupled effects of hydrodynamics and non-LTE radiative transfer in spherically outflowing winds, including the detailed effects of metal line blocking and line blanketing on the radiative transfer and energy balance. We incorporate our hot-star models into our population synthesis code (STARS), and we compute the time-dependent SEDs and resulting Lyc and HeI emission rates for evolving star clusters. We present results for continuous and impulsive star formation for a range of assumed stellar initial mass functions.

description: The total cross sections of the neutron radiative capture on 12B at astrophysical energies to the ground state of 13B have been calculated in the energy range of 10E-8 to 10 MeV within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with the classification of orbital states according to Young diagrams. Reaction rates in the temperature range of 0.01 to 10 T9 and their analytical parameterization were obtained. The calculated rates of 12B(n,gamma)13B excess the previous results by approximately to one order. Cross sections and reaction rates of 12C(n,gamma)13C are calculated and compared to the n10B, n11B, n12B, and p12C reaction rates. It is proposed that obtained rates of the 12B(n,gamma)13B reaction should be taken into account in novel scenarios of stable isotope 13C synthesis without of 12C hydrogen burning.

description: There have been numerous advances in reinforcement learning, but the typically unconstrained exploration of the learning process prevents the adoption of these methods in many safety critical applications. Recent work in safe reinforcement learning uses idealized models to achieve their guarantees, but these models do not easily accommodate the stochasticity or high-dimensionality of real world systems. We investigate how prediction provides a general and intuitive framework to constraint exploration, and show how it can be used to safely learn intersection handling behaviors on an autonomous vehicle.
Strings between branes

description: D-brane configurations containing fundamental strings are constructed as classical solutions of Yang-Mills theory. The fundamental strings in these systems stretch between D-branes. In the case of D1-branes, this construction gives smooth (classical) resolutions of string junctions and string networks. Using a non-abelian Yang-Mills analysis of the string current, the string charge density is computed and is shown to have support in the region between the D-brane world-volumes. The 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole is analyzed using similar methods, and is shown to contain D-strings whose flux has support off the D-brane world-volume defined by the Higgs scalar field, when this field is interpreted in terms of a transverse dimension. The constructions presented here are used to give a qualitative picture of tachyon condensation in the Yang-Mills limit, where fundamental strings and lower-dimensional D-branes arise in a volume of space-time where brane-antibrane annihilation has occurred.

title: Transcription of rDNA in mycobacteria
Creators: name: Arnvig, Kristine Bourke
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: The genus Mycobacterium consists of numerous species, which display large variations in growth requirements and growth rates. They do however have certain common characteristics including growth rates that are lower than those of many other bacteria and a low number of rrn operons. As a rule the slower growing species, including the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, have a single rrn operon, rrnA, and the faster growing species have two operons, rrnA and rrnB. The promoters of these opérons vary between species and they display differential regulation upon a change in growth conditions. Nothing is known about the regions responsible for the regulation of rrn expression. In the present study DNA fragments from the promoter and leader regions of mycobacterial rrn operons were fused to a promoter-less lacZ gene and the resulting reporter constructs were assayed for ß-galactosidase activity. This investigation led to the identification of a number of regulatory regions, which act at different stages of gene expression and with different effects. The results demonstrate that the two opérons have certain features in common. These include a highly activating upstream region and a downstream/leader region that suppresses rrn expression. In vitro interactions between the M.tb rrn leader and M.tb Nus factors furthermore suggest that the M.tb rrn anti-termination mechanism may differ significantly from the E. coli paradigm.

description: We present a high-power source of broadband terahertz radiation covering the whole THz spectral region (0.1-30 THz). The two-color gas plasma generation process is driven by a state-of-the-art Ytterbium fiber chirped pulse amplification system based on coherent combination of 16 rod-type amplifiers. Prior to the THz generation, the pulses are spectrally broadened in a multi-pass-cell and compressed to 37 fs with a pulse-energy of 1.3 mJ at a repetition rate of 500 kHz. A gas-jet scheme has been employed for the THz generation, increasing the efficiency of the process to 0.1%. The air-biased-coherent-detection scheme is implemented to characterize the full bandwidth of the generated radiation. A THz average power of 640 mW is generated, which is the highest THz average power achieved to date. This makes this source suitable for a variety of applications, e.g. spectroscopy of strongly absorbing samples or driving nonlinear effects for the studies of material properties.

description: As sensors get more and more integrated, signal processing functions, like tracking, are performed closer to the sensor. Consequently, high level fusion is on the rise. Presented here is a high level fusion scheme incorporating not only linear,but circular quantities as well. Monte Carlo experiments are used to verify our novel fusion operators that work as a weighted average for the Wrapped Normal and the von-Mises distribution. To further verify the new fusion operators, we implemented a full track level fusion scheme and tested it by fusing the measurements of two RADAR sensors.

description: We address entropic uncertainty relations between time and energy or, more precisely, between measurements of an observable $G$ and the displacement $r$ of the $G$-generated evolution $e^{-ir G}$. We derive lower bounds on the entropic uncertainty in two frequently considered scenarios, which can be illustrated as two different guessing games in which the role of the guessers are fixed or not. In particular, our bound for the first game improves the previous result by Coles et al.. Our derivation uses as a subroutine a recently proposed novel algebraic method, which can in general be used to derive a wider class of entropic uncertainty principles.

description: A multipass cell for nonlinear compression to few-cycle pulse duration is introduced comprising dielectrically enhanced silver mirrors on silicon substrates. Spectral broadening with 388 W output average power and 776 {\mu}J pulse energy is obtained at 82% cell transmission. A high output beam quality (M2<1.2) and a high spatio-spectral homogeneity (97.5%) as well as the compressibility of the output pulses to 6.9 fs duration are demonstrated. Finite element analysis reveals scalability of this cell to 2 kW average output power.

description: The classical treatment of the electrical double-layer (EDL) structure at a planar metal/electrolyte junction via the Gouy-Chapman-Stern (GCS) approach is based on the Poisson equation relating the electrostatic potential to the net mean charge density. The ions concentration in the diffuse layer are assumed to follow the Boltzmann distribution law, i.e. $\propto \exp(-\tilde{\psi})$ where $\tilde{\psi}$ is the dimensionless electrostatic potential. However, even in stationary equilibrium in which variables are averaged over a large number of elementary stochastic events, deviations from the mean-value are expected. In this study we evaluate the behavior of the EDL by assuming some small perturbations superposed on top of its Boltzmann distribution of ion concentrations using the Tsallis nonextensive statistics framework. With this we assume the ion concentrations to be proportional to $ [ 1- (1-q) \tilde{\psi}]^{{1}/{(1-q)}} = \exp_q({- \tilde{\psi}})$ with $q$ being a real parameter that characterizes the system's statistics. We derive analytical expression and provide computational results for the overall differential capacitance of the EDL structure, which, depending on the values of the parameter $q$ can show both the traditional inverse bell-shaped curves for aqueous solutions and bell curves observed with ionic liquids.

description: Measuring scattered light is central to many laser-based gas diagnostic techniques, e.g., coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS). To produce quantitative measurements with such techniques, a computational model of the scattered spectral lineshape is necessary. While accurate, these models are often quite computationally demanding and thus cannot be used in situations where computational speed matters. To overcome this, approximations of these spectral lineshape models can be used instead. In this paper, we develop a method called support vector spectrum approximation (SVSA). This method uses machine learning to create efficient and accurate approximations of any existing spectral lineshape model. The SVSA framework improves upon existing methods by allowing efficient approximations of spectral lineshapes to be calculated in arbitrary flow regimes. We demonstrate the efficacy of SVSA in approximating coherent and spontaneous Rayleigh-Brillioun spectra. We also show that SVSA reduces the computational cost of a simulated filtered Rayleigh scattering experiment by a factor of 300.

description: We consider N vicious walkers moving in one dimension in a one-body potential v(x). Using the backward Fokker-Planck equation we derive exact results for the asymptotic form of the survival probability Q(x,t) of vicious walkers initially located at (x_1,...,x_N) = x, when v(x) is an arbitrary attractive potential. Explicit results are given for a square-well potential with absorbing or reflecting boundary conditions at the walls, and for a harmonic potential with an absorbing or reflecting boundary at the origin and the walkers starting on the positive half line. By mapping the problem of N vicious walkers in zero potential onto the harmonic potential problem, we rederive the results of Fisher [J. Stat. Phys. 34, 667 (1984)] and Krattenthaler et al. [J. Phys. A 33}, 8835 (2000)] respectively for vicious walkers on an infinite line and on a semi-infinite line with an absorbing wall at the origin. This mapping also gives a new result for vicious walkers on a semi-infinite line with a reflecting boundary at the origin: Q(x,t) \sim t^{-N(N-1)/2}.

description: The University of British Columbia Vancouver Campus is the site of both food insecurity and food waste. Food recovery programs show potential to address food insecurity and mitigate food waste at the same time. Aimed at the AMS Nest food system within the UBC Vancouver campus, this study assessed AMS Nest stakeholders’ barriers and opportunities towards food recovery. From primary and secondary research, the researchers formulated the Food Waste Recovery and Reduction Plan (FWRRP), a set of strategic guidelines towards the implementation of a future food recovery plan within the AMS Nest during the 2023-2024 school year. This report’s results, strategies, and implications are applicable to anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges and opportunities that present in university campus food systems.

description: The impact of nonlinear refraction and residual absorption on the achievable peak and average power in beam-splitter-based coherent beam combination is analyzed theoretically. While the peak power remains limited only by the aperture size, a fundamental average power limit is given by the thermo-optical and thermo-mechanical properties of the beam splitter material and its coatings. Based on our analysis, 100 kW average power can be obtained with state-of-the-art optics at maintained high beam quality (M2 {\leq} 1.1) and at only 2% loss of combining efficiency. This result indicates that the power-scaling potential of today's beam-splitter-based coherent beam combination is far from being depleted. A potential scaling route to megawatt-level average power is discussed for optimized beam splitter geometry.

title: Role of seminal fluid in sexual transmission of HIV-1
Creators: name: Kim, Louise U.
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This study analysed the reservoir of HIV-1 in semen and the effects of seminal plasma on the functional and phenotypic characteristics of dendritic cells (DCs), both in relation to immunoregulatory capabilities and susceptibility to infection with HIV. The reservoir of HIV-1 in semen was defined in order to assess the feasibility of ‘sperm washing’ as a means of reducing the risk of transmission in HTV-1-discordant couples.

The fact that neither viral RNA or DNA could be detected in spermatozoa and the lack of expression of CD4 both at the protein and mRNA levels suggests that spermatozoa are not susceptible to HTV-1 infection. Viral RNA was detected in seminal plasma and both RNA and DNA were detected in non-sperm cells. As a result of this study, sperm washing is a service that is now available at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital to HTV-l-discordant couples. This service has resulted in several births and no seroconversions in any woman who has undergone the procedure.

The effects of seminal plasma on the phenotype and function of monocyte-derived DCs were investigated. Seminal plasma had suppressive effects on the allostimulatory capacity of DCs and such effects appeared to be due to down- regulation of co-stimulatory molecule expression on these cells. The suppressive effect of seminal plasma was abrogated by the removal of lipids. However, prostaglandins on their own did not have suppressive effects on DC function, suggesting that other seminal components are required to induce theobserved induction of suppression. The suppressive effect of seminal plasma on the allostimulatory function of DCs was overcome with TNF-a, as did the presence of HIV. The expression of HIV co-receptors was assessed on DCs. TNF-a induced maturation of DCs as demonstrated by reduced expression of CCR5 and increased CXCR4. Seminal plasma also enhanced expression of CXCR4 and infection with X4 strains of HIV, but down-regulated CCR5 expression and infection with R5 strains of HIV. Therefore, the regulation of co-receptor expression by DCs was associated with their susceptibility to infection with a HIV strain displaying the corresponding co-receptor usage.

In summary, semen is an important vehicle for transmission of HIV. Seminal plasma was demonstrated to have profound effects on DC phenotype, maturation and function. Such alterations would influence the outcome, in terms of HIV transmission, of the interaction between the DC and HIV-1 at the mucosal surface.

description: The analysis of the nine 1-fold differential cross sections for the $γ_{r,v} p \to π^+π^-p$ photo- and electroproduction reactions obtained with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory was carried out with the goal to establish the contributing resonances in the mass range from 1.6~GeV to 1.8~GeV. In order to describe the photo- and electroproduction data with $Q^2$-independent resonance masses and hadronic decay widths in the $Q^2$ range below 1.5~GeV$^2$, it was found that an $N'(1720)3/2^+$ state is required in addition to the already well-established nucleon resonances. This work demonstrates that the combined studies of $π^+π^-p$ photo- and electroproduction data are vital for the observation of this resonance. The contributions from the $N'(1720)3/2^+$ state and the already established $N(1720)3/2^+$ state with a mass of 1.745~GeV are well separated by their different hadronic decays to the $πΔ$ and $ρp$ final states and the different $Q^2$-evolution of their photo-/electroexcitation amplitudes. The $N'(1720)3/2^+$ state is the first recently established baryon resonance for which the results on the $Q^2$-evolution of the photo-/electrocouplings have become available. These results are important for the exploration of the nature of the ``missing'' baryon resonances.

LOFAR observations of a jet-driven piston shock in the low solar corona
Creators: name: Maguire, Ciara
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: solar flare, soalr radio burst, shock , corona

description: To date, the origin of coronal shocks has been argued as either flare related due to blast
 waves or CME or small scale ejecta related (Zimovets et al. 2012; Mancuso et al. 2019). Depending
 on their kinematics, we further classify shocks as either bow shock or piston-driven shock. In this
 study, I investigated a unique solar event of a plasma jet observed in the EUV and a type II radio burst
 observed by the LOw-Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope. I used radio interferometric
 observations from LOFAR to determine the locations of type II fundamental and harmonic emission.
 The images revealed a clear separation between the fundamental and harmonic sources. This
 contradicts the underlying plasma emission mechanism according to which the fundamental and
 harmonic radio waves are generated in the same location and should therefore appear co-spatial. Such behaviour is attributed to radio wave scattering by density inhomogeneities in the
 corona. Using a model I accounted for radio wave scattering effects and determined the true
 propagation path of the shock. I then determined where the radio burst was generated in relation to
 the eruptive structures and the coronal environment that led to shock formation. I showed that the
 type II burst was generated by a piston shock driven by the jet in the low corona, a case that has
 rarely been previously studied. This was published in Maguire et al, The Astrophysical Journal (2021).
