description: There are a variety of ways to associate directed or undirected graphs to a group. It may be interesting to investigate the relations between the structure of these graphs and characterizing certain properties of the group in terms of some properties of the associated graph. The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a group $G$ is a simple graph whose vertex-set is $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ in $G$ are adjacent if and only if $y=x^m$ or $x=y^m$ for some positive integer $m$. We also pay attention to the subgraph $\mathcal{P}^\ast(G)$ of $\mathcal{P}(G)$ which is obtained by deleting the vertex 1 (the identity element of $G$). In the present paper, we first investigate some properties of the power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ and the subgraph $\mathcal{P}^\ast(G)$. We next prove that many of finite groups such as finite simple groups, symmetric groups and the automorphism groups of sporadic simple groups can be uniquely determined by their power graphs among all finite groups. We have also determined up to isomorphism the structure of any finite group $G$ such that the graph $\mathcal{P}^\ast(G)$ is a strongly regular graph, a bipartite graph, a planar graph or an Eulerian graph. Finally, we obtained some infinite families of finite groups such that the graph $\mathcal{P}^\ast(G)$ containing some cut-edges.

description: The electronic and optical properties of mono, di, tri, and tetravacancies in graphene are studied in comparison to each other, using density functional theory. In addition, oxidized monovacancies are considered for different oxygen concentrations. Pristine graphene is found to be more absorptive than any defect configuration at low energy. We demonstrate characteristic differences in the optical spectra of the various defects for energies up to 3 eV. This makes it possible to quantify by optical spectroscopy the ratios of the defect species present in a sample.

description: The genes encoding Anthrax Toxin Receptors (ANTXRs) were originally identified based on expression in endothelial cells suggesting a role in angiogenesis. The focus of this review is to discuss what has been learned about the physiological roles of these receptors through evaluation of the Antxr knockout mouse phenotypes. Mice mutant in Antxr genes have defects in extracellular matrix homeostasis. We discuss how knowledge of physiological ANTXR function relates to what is already known about anthrax intoxication.

description: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to thrombo-embolic occlusion in the cerebral vasculature is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and throughout the world. Although the prognosis is poor for many patients with AIS, a variety of strategies and devices are now available for achieving recanalization in patients with this disease. Here, we review the treatment options for cerebrovascular thromboembolic occlusion with a focus on the evolution of strategies and devices that are utilized for achieving endovascular clot extraction. In order to demonstrate the progression of this treatment strategy over the past decade, we will also present a single-center case series of AIS patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy.

We present two results for the entanglement negativity: a disentangling theorem, which allows the use of this entanglement measure as a means to detect whether a wave-function of three subsystems $A$, $B$, and $C$ factorizes into a product state for parts $AB_1$ and $B_2C$; and a monogamy relation, which states that if $A$ is very entangled with $B$, then $A$ cannot be simultaneaously very entangled also with $C$.

description: Animal models have greatly enriched our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of numerous types of cancers. Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with a poor prognosis and high incidence of drug-resistance. However, most inbred strains of mice have proven resistant to gastric carcinogenesis. To establish useful models which mimic human gastric cancer phenotypes, investigators have utilized animals infected with Helicobacter species and treated with carcinogens. In addition, by exploiting genetic engineering, a variety of transgenic and knockout mouse models of gastric cancer have emerged, such as INS-GAS mice and TFF1 knockout mice. Investigators have used the combination of carcinogens and gene alteration to accelerate gastric cancer development, but rarely do mouse models show an aggressive and metastatic gastric cancer phenotype that could be relevant to preclinical studies, which may require more specific targeting of gastric progenitor cells. Here, we review current gastric carcinogenesis mouse models and provide our future perspectives on this field.

description: According to classical tradition, Thales of Miletus predicted the total solar eclipse that took place on 28 May 585 BCE. Even if some authors have flatly denied the possibility of such a prediction, others have struggled to find cycles which would justify the achievement of the philosopher. Some of the proposed cycles have already been refuted, but two of them, namely those of Willy Hartner and Dirk Couprie, remain unchallenged. This paper presents some important objections to these two possibilities, based on the fact that these authors do not list all the eclipses potentially visible by their criteria. In addition, any explanation based on cycles will need to face the complex problem of visibility (smallest observable eclipse, weather...). The present article also includes a statistical study on the predictability of solar eclipses for a variety of periods, similar to that performed by Willy Hartner for lunar eclipses, resulting in lower probabilities in the solar case (and percentages depend on the chosen magnitude limit). The conclusion is that none of the cycles proposed so far provides a satisfactory explanation of the prediction, and, on statistical grounds, none of the periods studied leads to a significant probability of success with solar eclipse cycles.

description: Personalized medicine is a model of healthcare that is predictive, personalized, preventive and participatory (“P4 Medicine”). Genetic counselors are an ideal group to study when designing tools to support cancer P4 Medicine activities more broadly. The goal for this work was to gain a better understanding of the information cancer genetic counselors seek from their patients to facilitate effective information exchange for discussing risk. This was an analysis of a qualitative data set from interviews of eight cancer genetic counselors, recruited from three institutions. Genetic counselors at each site were interviewed using a semi-structured, open-ended questionnaire. A selective coding approach was used to determine major themes associated with genetic counseling information needs for communicating risk. We generated a model for understanding categories of genetic counseling information needs to support risk communication activities. Common activities for risk communication included risk assessment and tailoring communication. Categories of information needs included: (a) clinical patient characteristics, (b) social and cognitive patient characteristics and (c) patient motivation and goals for the genetic counseling session. A logical next step is for this model to inform the design of software systems for pre-visit patient planning and delivering just-in-time educational information to facilitate cancer risk communication activities.

description: Detection of estrus is the most costly factor contributing to reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle (1, 2, 3). In Colorado alone, the potential economic loss from poor detection of estrus to the dairy industry is from $123 to $205 per cow per year (4). The use of teaser animals as an aid in the detection of estrus has generally been proved advantageous (5). Teaser animals are usually surgically altered intact males or androgenized females. The use of an intact male although surgically altered does not eliminate the potential of venereal disease transmission. In addition, the cost of surgical altering and time lost until the teaser animal can be used must be considered. Androgenizing heifers has proven effective. The accepted procedure has been intramuscular injections of 200 mg of testosterone every other day for 20 days plus biweekly boostering with testosterone injections (5, 6, 7). A simpler approach would be to use an implant containing testosterone to get a longer duration of activity in the androgenized heifer. This presentation will detail the preliminary results on the use of this procedure.

description: A fundamental property of a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is long-range coherence, however, in systems of lower dimensionality, not only is the long range coherence destroyed, but additional states of matter are predicted to exist. One such state is a `transverse condensate', first predicted by van Druten and Ketterle [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 549 (1997)], in which the gas condenses in the transverse dimensions of a highly anisotropic trap while remaining thermal in the longitudinal dimension. Here we detect the transition from a three-dimensional thermal gas to a gas undergoing transverse condensation by probing Hanbury Brown--Twiss correlations.

description: We investigate the chemical enrichment of r-process elements in the early evolutionary stages of the Milky Way halo within the framework of hierarchical galaxy formation using a semi-analytic merger tree. In this paper, we focus on heavy r-process elements, Ba and Eu, of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars and give constraints on their astronomical sites. Our models take into account changes of the surface abundances of EMP stars by the accretion of interstellar matter (ISM). We also consider metal-enrichment of intergalactic medium (IGM) by galactic winds and the resultant pre-enrichment of proto-galaxies. The trend and scatter of the observed r-process abundances are well reproduced by our hierarchical model with $\sim 10\%$ of core-collapse supernovae in low-mass end ($\sim 10M_{\odot}$) as a dominant r-process source and the star formation efficiency of $\sim 10^{-10} \hbox{yr}^{-1}$. For neutron star mergers as an r-process source, their coalescence timescale has to be $ \sim 10^7$yrs, and the event rates $\sim 100$ times larger than currently observed in the Galaxy. We find that the accretion of ISM is a dominant source of r-process elements for stars with [Ba/H] < -3.5. In this model, a majority of stars at [Fe/H] < -3 are formed without r-process elements but their surfaces are polluted by the ISM accretion. The pre-enrichment affects $\sim 4\%$ of proto-galaxies, and yet, is surpassed by the ISM accretion in the surface of EMP stars.

A Support-Based Reconstruction for SENSE MRI

description: A novel, rapid algorithm to speed up and improve the reconstruction of sensitivity encoding (SENSE) MRI was proposed in this paper. The essence of the algorithm was that it iteratively solved the model of simple SENSE on a pixel-by-pixel basis in the region of support (ROS). The ROS was obtained from scout images of eight channels by morphological operations such as opening and filling. All the pixels in the FOV were paired and classified into four types, according to their spatial locations with respect to the ROS, and each with corresponding procedures of solving the inverse problem for image reconstruction. The sensitivity maps, used for the image reconstruction and covering only the ROS, were obtained by a polynomial regression model without extrapolation to keep the estimation errors small. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method improves the reconstruction of SENSE in terms of speed and accuracy. The mean square errors (MSE) of our reconstruction is reduced by 16.05% for a 2D brain MR image and the mean MSE over the whole slices in a 3D brain MRI is reduced by 30.44% compared to those of the traditional methods. The computation time is only 25%, 45%, and 70% of the traditional method for images with numbers of pixels in the orders of 103, 104, and 105–107, respectively.

This extends the generic sin2θ estimates recently shown by Albeverio and Motovilov in [Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 7 (2013), 1389--1416]. The result is applied to the subspace perturbation problem to obtain a bound on the arcsine of the norm of the difference of the spectral projections associated with isolated components of the spectrum of the unperturbed and perturbed operators, respectively.

description: Findings from pharmacogenomics (PGx) studies have the potential to be applied to individualize drug therapy to improve efficacy and reduce adverse drug events. Researchers have identified factors influencing uptake of genomics in medicine, but little is known about the specific technical barriers to incorporating PGx into existing clinical frameworks. We present the design and development of a prototype PGx clinical decision support (CDS) system that builds on existing clinical infrastructure and incorporates semi-active and active CDS. Informing this work, we updated previous evaluations of PGx knowledge characteristics, and of how the CDS capabilities of three local clinical systems align with data and functional requirements for PGx CDS. We summarize characteristics of PGx knowledge and technical needs for implementing PGx CDS within existing clinical frameworks. PGx decision support rules derived from FDA drug labels primarily involve drug metabolizing genes, vary in maturity, and the majority support the post-analytic phase of genetic testing. Computerized provider order entry capabilities are key functional requirements for PGx CDS and were best supported by one of the three systems we evaluated. We identified two technical needs when building on this system, the need for (1) new or existing standards for data exchange to connect clinical data to PGx knowledge, and (2) a method for implementing semi-active CDS. Our analyses enhance our understanding of principles for designing and implementing CDS for drug therapy individualization and our current understanding of PGx characteristics in a clinical context. Characteristics of PGx knowledge and capabilities of current clinical systems can help govern decisions about CDS implementation, and can help guide decisions made by groups that develop and maintain knowledge resources such that delivery of content for clinical care is supported.

description: Tomographic images taken inside and outside a compaction band in a field specimen of Aztec sandstone are analyzed by using numerical methods such as graph theory, level sets, and hybrid lattice Boltzmann/finite element techniques. The results reveal approximately an order of magnitude permeability reduction within the compaction band. This is less than the several orders of magnitude reduction measured from hydraulic experiments on compaction bands formed in laboratory experiments and about one order of magnitude less than inferences from two-dimensional images of Aztec sandstone. Geometrical analysis concludes that the elimination of connected pore space and increased tortuosities due to the porosity decrease are the major factors contributing to the permeability reduction. In addition, the multiscale flow simulations also indicate that permeability is fairly isotropic inside and outside the compaction band.

Laboratory Characterization of Geothermal Fractures using Chloride Concentration

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Geothermal engineering
subject: Geothermal energy

description: This research continued an investigation into the viability of using chloride concentration 
to determine the mass inflow rate of feed zone fluid in a geothermal well. Specifically, 
chloride concentration is measured across the vertical depth of a wellbore, which can then 
be used in an analytical calculation from a chemical balance to infer the feed zone inflow 
rate. This project holds direct application for the characterization and quantification of the 
artificial fractures that distinguish the wells of Enhanced Geothermal Systems. This report 
focuses on laboratory experiments that replicated the fluid flow behavior in geothermal 
wells to test the chloride tool’s accuracy and sensitivity in quantifying the feed zone inflow 
rates. 
Initial efforts focused on modifying the Artificial Well System in the Stanford Geothermal 
Laboratory and calibrating the chloride tool. The modifications to the Artificial Well 
System enabled continuous freshwater experimentation and reduced possibilities of 
experimental error. The calibration process determined an empirical relationship between 
the voltage readings of the two ion selective electrodes (ISE) housed in the chloride tool 
and the chloride concentration of the surrounding fluid.  
Subsequently, static experiments were conducted to assess the sensitivity of the chloride 
tool to key independent variables. These experiments granted insight into the effects of 
varying the chloride concentration of the feed zone fluid, the vertical position of the tool 
relative to the feed zone, the feed zone inflow rate, and the presence of additional chemical 
species in the feed zone fluid on the voltage readings and inferred chloride molarity. 
Additionally, dynamic experiments investigated the effects of these variables, and the 
wellbore flow rate, on the ability of the chloride tool to locate and quantify the feed zone 
inflow rate.  
These experiments indicated that higher chloride concentrations, upward motion, closer 
proximity to the feed zone jet, and higher feed zone inflow rates resulted in more accurate 
characterization of the feed zone. Additionally, the presence of additional anions in the 
feed zone fluid was shown to both increase the magnitude of and reduce the noise in the 
voltage readings from the ISE probes. When additional anions were present, the absolute 
chloride concentration could not be determined accurately, but relative changes to apparent 
chloride concentration still provided accurate estimates for the quantification of the feed 
zone inflow rate. 
The findings of this project suggest that the chloride tool could accurately characterize the 
mass inflow rate of the artificial geothermal feed zone using relative changes in chloride 
concentration.

description: At the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, an effective technique has been developed for complete bovine fetotomy.1 With many cows in dystocia, not all of the cuts involved in the Utrecht fetotomy are necessary. In addition, the placement of the wire over previously cut surfaces is difficult. Thus, modifications of the Utrecht method of fetotomy were made in an effort to reduce fetal size with fewer cuts and to improve the ease of wire placement. In addition, delivery is usually easier if a means is created for gas to escape from the cavities of the emphysematous fetus.

description: A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the treatment for celiac disease (CD), but due to its complexity, dietitian referral is uniformly recommended. We surveyed patients with CD to determine if dietitian use is associated with quality of life, symptom severity, or GFD adherence. The survey utilized three validated CD-specific instruments: the CD quality of life (CD-QOL), CD symptom index (CSI) and CD adherence test (CDAT). Four hundred and thirteen patients with biopsy-proven CD were eligible for inclusion. The majority (77%) were female and mean BMI was 24.1. Over three-quarters of patients (326, 79%) had seen a dietitian, however, 161 (39%) had seen a dietitian only once. Age, sex, and education level were not associated with dietitian use; nor was BMI (24.6 vs. 24.0, p = 0.45). On multivariate analysis, adjusting for age gender, education, duration of disease, and body mass index, dietitian use was not associated with CD-QOL, CSI, or CDAT scores. Our survey did not show an association between dietitian use and symptom severity, adherence, or quality of life. Delay in diagnosis was associated with poorer outcomes. This is a preliminary study with several limitations, and further prospective analysis is needed to evaluate the benefits and cost-effectiveness of dietitian-referral in the care of celiac disease patients.

description: We present calculations of nuclear-spin-dependent and nuclear-spin-independent parity violating amplitudes in Ba, Ra, Ac+, Th and Pa. Parity nonconservation in these systems is greatly enhanced due to the presence of very close electronic energy levels of opposite parity, large nuclear charge, and strong nuclear enhancement of parity-violating effects. The presented amplitudes constitute several of the largest atomic parity-violating signals predicted so far. Experiments using these systems may be performed to determine values for the nuclear anapole moment, a P-odd T-even nuclear moment given rise to by parity-violating nuclear forces. Such measurements may prove to be valuable tools in the study of parity violation in the hadron sector. The considered spin-independent transitions could also be used to measure the ratio of weak charges for different isotopes of the same atom, the results of which would serve as a test of the standard model and also of neutron distributions. Barium, with seven stable isotopes, is particularly promising in this regard.

Twisty itsy bitsy topological field theory

description: We extend the topological field theory (``itsy bitsy topological field theory"') of our previous work from mod-2 to twisted coefficients. This topological field theory is derived from sutured Floer homology but described purely in terms of surfaces with signed points on their boundary (occupied surfaces) and curves on those surfaces respecting signs (sutures). It has information-theoretic (``itsy'') and quantum-field-theoretic (``bitsy'') aspects. In the process we extend some results of sutured Floer homology, consider associated ribbon graph structures, and construct explicit admissible Heegaard decompositions.

Time-Resolved Properties and Global Trends in dMe Flares from Simultaneous Photometry and Spectra

description: We present a homogeneous survey of line and continuum emission from near-ultraviolet (NUV) to optical wavelengths during twenty M dwarf flares with simultaneous, high cadence photometry and spectra. These data were obtained to study the white-light continuum components at bluer and redder wavelengths than the Balmer jump. Our goals were to break the degeneracy between emission mechanisms that have been fit to broadband colors of flares and to provide constraints for radiative-hydrodynamic (RHD) flare models that seek to reproduce the white-light flare emission. The main results from the continuum analysis are the following: 1) the detection of Balmer continuum (in emission) that is present during all flares and with a wide range of relative contributions to the continuum flux at bluer wavelengths than the Balmer jump; 2) a blue continuum at flare maximum that is linearly decreasing with wavelength from λ= 4000-4800Å, matched by the spectral shape of hot, blackbody emission with typical temperatures of T_{BB}~9000-14,000 K; 3) a redder continuum apparent at wavelengths longer than Hβ (λ> 4900Å) which becomes relatively more important to the energy budget during the late gradual phase. We calculate Balmer jump flux ratios and compare to RHD model spectra. The model ratios are too large and the blue-optical (λ= 4000-4800Å) slopes are too red in both the impulsive and gradual decay phases of all twenty flares. This discrepancy implies that further work is needed to understand the heating at high column mass during dMe flares. (Abridged)

description: We show that the so-called semi-simple extended Poincaré (SSEP) algebra in $D$ dimensions can be obtained from the anti-de~Sitter algebra $\mathfrak{so} \left( D-1,2 \right)$ by means of the $S$-expansion procedure with an appropriate semigroup $S$. A general prescription is given for computing Casimir operators for $S$-expanded algebras, and the method is exemplified for the SSEP algebra. The $S$-expansion method also allows us to extract the corresponding invariant tensor for the SSEP algebra, which is a key ingredient in the construction of a generalized action for Chern--Simons gravity in $2+1$ dimensions.

description: Increased heat-related mortality is projected to be among the major impacts of climate change on human health, and the United States urban Northeast region is likely to be particularly vulnerable. In support of regional adaptation planning, quantitative information is needed on potential future health responses at the urban and regional scales. Here, we present future projections of heat-related mortality in Boston, New York and Philadelphia utilizing downscaled next-generation climate models and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) developed in support of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). Our analyses reveal that heat-related mortality rates per 100,000 of population during the baseline period between 1985 and 2006 were highest in Philadelphia followed by New York City and Boston. However, projected heat-related mortality rates in the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s were highest in New York City followed by Philadelphia and Boston. This study may be of value in developing strategies for reducing the future impacts of heat and building climate change resilience in the urban Northeast region.

Creation of planar charged fermions in Coulomb and Aharonov-Bohm potentials

description: The creation of charged fermions from the vacuum by a Coulomb field in the presence of an Aharonov--Bohm (AB) potential are studied in 2+1 dimensions. The process is governed by a (singular) Dirac Hamiltonian that requires the supplementary definition in order for it to be treated as a self-adjoint quantum-mechanical operator. By constructing a one-parameter self-adjoint extension of the Dirac Hamiltonian, specified by boundary conditions, we describe the (virtual bound) quasistationary states with "complex energy" emerging in an attractive Coulomb potential, derive for the first time, complex equations (depending upon the electron spin and the extension parameter) for the quasistationary state "complex energy". The constructed self-adjoint Dirac Hamiltonians in Coulomb and AB potentials are applied to provide a correct description to the low-energy electron excitations, as well as the creation of charged quasiparticles from the vacuum in graphene by the Coulomb impurity in the presence of AB potential. It is shown that the strong Coulomb field can create charged fermions for some range of the extension parameter.

description: Record keeping is not a favorite task of many of our clients. Our dairy producers on DHIA have the advantage over our other food animal clients of having a very valuable set of records generated monthly. The sad truth is that many dairymen spend a few minutes at most reviewing these records. Most, roughly know their reproductive and production figures, but only,roughly, and many do not know if they have progressed or regressed over the past 6 months.

description: This article describes the KEOMA's development, a low cost robot. KEOMA is an interesting tool to contextualize the contents learned in class on a ludic way. The main aspect is the use of cheap electronic components and recycled material in its construction. KEOMA was experimented as a tool to teach programming concepts for Science and Technology students of the University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN). The results show an alternative platform used in educational robotics, making robotics more accessible, decreasing the complexity in its construction and making easier computer programming.
