description: Multiplex gene modifications are highly required for various fields of porcine research. In many species, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely applied for genomic editing and provides a potential tool for introducing multiplex genome mutations simultaneously. Here, we present a CRISPR–Cas9 gRNA–tRNA array (GTR–CRISPR) for multiplexed engineering of porcine fetal fibroblasts (PFFs). We successfully produced multiple sgRNAs using only one Pol III promoter by taking advantage of the endogenous tRNA processing mechanism in porcine cells. Using an all-in-one construct carrying GTR and Cas9, we disrupted the IGFBP3, MSTN, MC4R, and SOCS2 genes in multiple codon regions in one PFF cell simultaneously. This technique allows the simultaneous disruption of four genes with 5.5% efficiency. As a result, this approach may effectively target multiple genes at the same time, making it a powerful tool for establishing multiple genes mutant cells in pigs.

description: In Jeff Stahler’s cartoon published by The Cincinnati Post and reprinted February 25th by The New York Times, Bill Clinton sits at his desk reading a paper with the headline, “GOP IDENTITY CRISIS”. The cartoon is entitled “ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO?” and Clinton’s word-balloon cries “YEP!” It’s possible that some cartoonists and editors really believe that President Clinton believes he’s better off now than he was four years ago. But it’s a view difficult to reconcile with the facts. After all, whatever else Bill Clinton may be, he’s smart.

description: Enormous online textual information provides intriguing opportunities for understandings of social and economic semantics. In this paper, we propose a novel text regression model based on a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN), with an attempt to associate textual data and social outcomes in a semi-supervised manner. Besides promising potential of predicting capabilities, our superiorities are twofold: (i) the model works with unbalanced datasets of limited labelled data, which align with real-world scenarios; and (ii) predictions are obtained by an end-to-end framework, without explicitly selecting high-level representations. Finally we point out related datasets for experiments and future research directions.

description: The Rhachotropis species (Fig. 12) of Mid-Atlantic Ridge deep-sea hydrothermal vents: R. flamina, R. licornia, R. pilosa Bellan-Santini, 2006
 SME taxonomists also have taken part in the major adventure started with the 1977 discovery of deep-sea chemosynthetic animal communities. In the vicinity of hydrothermal vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 3 new species of Rhachotropis (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Eusiridae) were collected by sediment traps at 1700–2750 m depth: Rhachotropis flamina Bellan-Santini, 2006, Rhachotropis licornia Bellan-Santini, 2006, and Rhachotropis pilosa Bellan-Santini, 2006.
 With 63 species (Horton et al. 2021) this genus is found in all oceans with a large bathymetric distribution (0–7160 m) (L̂rz et al. 2018). It is the most common amphipod genus in bathyal and abyssal zones.
 Morphologically, Rhachotropis have a delicate body with slender pereiopods, long antennae and sometimes dorsal processes. However, some of them display antennae bearing complex and puzzling structures called calceoli (present in R. pilosa and R. licornia) that are believed to be part of sensory organs. Cuplike receptacles, arranged serially on the antennae, would act as non-visual sensory organs, ensuring the perception of sound and vibration stimuli by the amphipods. These likely mechanoreceptors are found in several amphipod species (Hurley 1980, Lincoln & Hurley 1981, Bellan-Santini 2015); some could be involved in the detection of mates, others to detect preys. However, at hydrothermal vents, they could also be a good way to locate active fluid emissions.

description: A proposal is presented for simulating an improvement on quenched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon configuration only via the topological index of the latter. Strengths and shortcomings of the method are discussed and it is argued that the approximation - though being crude - shares some qualitative aspects of full QCD which relate to the issue of chiral symmetry breaking.

description: Blockly-C is an online platform designed as a visual-based educational re- source for those learning the C programming language. Leveraging a ’recog- nition over recall’ methodology, it simplifies the intricate aspects of the C language, directing learners to concentrate on the underlying logic rather than getting bogged down by its syntax. Beginners participating in foun- dational programming courses might find Blockly-C to be a more efficient learning tool compared to conventional C programming methods. The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the conception, development, and assessment of Blockly-C. It’s crafted to streamline the C language learning process, incorpo- rating visual programming and an incremental display of program operations and memory configurations. The overarching objective is to offer beginners a captivating and efficient medium to learn C, eliminating syntax-related hur- dles. Furthermore, Blockly-C paves the way for learners to traverse smoothly from visual code representations to the traditional text-based format as they gain proficiency in C programming.

description: Macroscopic polarization, both of intrinsic and piezoelectric nature, is unusually strong in III-V nitrides, and the built in electric fields in the layers of nitride-based nanostructures, stemming from polarization changes at heterointerfaces, have a major impact on the properties of single and multiple quantum wells, high mobility transistors, and thin films. The concepts involved in the theory and applications of polarization in nitrides have encountered some resistance in the field. Here we discuss critically ten ``propositions'' aimed at clarifying the main controversial issues.

description: Thermal emission is the process by which all objects at non-zero temperatures emit light, and is well-described by the classic Planck, Kirchhoff, and Stefan-Boltzmann laws. For most solids, the thermally emitted power increases monotonically with temperature in a one-to-one relationship that enables applications such as infrared imaging and non-contact thermometry. Here, we demonstrate ultrathin thermal emitters that violate this one-to-one relationship via the use of samarium nickel oxide (SmNiO3), a strongly correlated quantum material that undergoes a fully reversible, temperature-driven solid-state phase transition. The smooth and hysteresis-free nature of this unique insulator-to-metal (IMT) phase transition allows us to engineer the temperature dependence of emissivity to precisely cancel out the intrinsic blackbody profile described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law, for both heating and cooling. Our design results in temperature-independent thermally emitted power within the long-wave atmospheric transparency window (wavelengths of 8 - 14 um), across a broad temperature range of ~30 °C, centered around ~120 °C. The ability to decouple temperature and thermal emission opens a new gateway for controlling the visibility of objects to infrared cameras and, more broadly, new opportunities for quantum materials in controlling heat transfer.

description: Schizoretepora hassi Harmelin, Bitar & Zibrowius, 2007 (Fig. 13): a mysterious bryozoan from the East
 Schizoretepora hassi is a cheilostomate bryozoan belonging to the Phidoloporidae, i.e. the family of the beautiful reteporid Reteporella grimaldii (Jullien, 1903), the so-called “lace coral” well-known of Mediterranean divers and which has been the first bryozoan in the world to be illustrated in the literature, by Rondelet in 1554. Among the bryozoans described from the material collected during surveys of the Station Marine d’Endoume, S. hassi is not the most spectacular and its features are only but typical of the family. It lives in shaded rocky habitats of the Lebanese littoral zone and has not yet been found anywhere else. What is surprising is that a Mediterranean species living in the shallow coastal zone with large, conspicuous colonies, had not been described before. The question of its status, steno-endemic of the Levantine Basin or Erythraean immigrant introduced in the Mediterranean, remains open. It was dedicated to Dr Hans Hass, Austrian biologist who was both a famous diving icon and a pioneer in scientific diving and underwater photography. In 1948, he also had written a thesis on the Mediterranean reteporids, collected by diving.

description: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a viral infectious disease that affects an estimated 130-170 million people worldwide. Most of those infected (80%) go on to develop a chronic infection. Until recently, the standard treatment for those with chronic HCV was a combination of pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and the antiviral ribavirin (RBV). In treatment-naive genotype 1 HCV patients, the combination of PEG-IFN-α and RBV typically leads to Sustained Virological Response (SVR) rates between 47% and 54%. In a number of recent studies, the IL28B gene has been shown to play an important role in the outcome of HCV treatment. A particular single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on chromosome 19q13 (rs12979860), commonly referred to as the “IL28B variant,” is strongly associated with SVR or lack of it. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of medical disorders usually associated with obesity. Some evidence suggests that HCV infection exacerbates this condition, possibly by causing increased insulin resistance (IR) and promoting visceral obesity even further. Metabolic abnormalities have also been shown to influence patients’ response to HCV treatment. Recent, but not conclusive, evidence suggests that, in addition to influencing response to HCV treatment and SVR rates, the IL28B genotypes may be associated with metabolic confounders of HCV such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. This study investigates a possible connection between IL28B genotype and MetS components in patients with and without chronic HCV. As expected, correlations between IL28B genotype and SVR, as well as between metabolic profile and SVR, were revealed. Further studies of a connection between IL28B genotype and metabolic outcomes are warranted.

Our proof uses the q-trinomial coefficients of Andrews and Baxter on the bosonic side and a recently introduced very general method of producing recursion relations for q-series on the fermionic side. We use these polynomials to demonstrate a dual relation under q \rightarrow q^{-1} between SM(2,4ν) and M(2ν-1,4ν). We also introduce a generalization of the Witten index which is expressible in terms of the Rogers false theta functions.

description: The $p$-adic AdS/CFT is a holographic duality based on the $p$-adic number field $\mathbb{Q}_p$. For a $p$-adic CFT living on $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and with complex-valued fields, the bulk theory is defined on the Bruhat-Tits tree, which can be viewed as the bulk dual of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We propose that bulk theory can be formulated as a lattice gauge theory of PGL$(2,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ on the Bruhat-Tits tree, and show that the Wilson line networks in this lattice gauge theory can reproduce all the correlation functions of the boundary $p$-adic CFT.

description: We quantitatively investigate the ideas behind the often-expressed adage `it takes volume to move stock prices', and study the statistical properties of the number of shares traded $Q_{Δt}$ for a given stock in a fixed time interval $Δt$. We analyze transaction data for the largest 1000 stocks for the two-year period 1994-95, using a database that records every transaction for all securities in three major US stock markets. We find that the distribution $P(Q_{Δt})$ displays a power-law decay, and that the time correlations in $Q_{Δt}$ display long-range persistence. Further, we investigate the relation between $Q_{Δt}$ and the number of transactions $N_{Δt}$ in a time interval $Δt$, and find that the long-range correlations in $Q_{Δt}$ are largely due to those of $N_{Δt}$. Our results are consistent with the interpretation that the large equal-time correlation previously found between $Q_{Δt}$ and the absolute value of price change $| G_{Δt} |$ (related to volatility) are largely due to $N_{Δt}$.

description: Mollusk shells are an ideal model system for understanding the morpho-elastic basis of morphological evolution of invertebrates' exoskeletons. During the formation of the shell, the mantle tissue secretes proteins and minerals that calcify to form a new incremental layer of the exoskeleton. Most of the existing literature on the morphology of mollusks is descriptive. The mathematical understanding of the underlying coupling between pre-existing shell morphology, de novo surface deposition and morpho-elastic volume growth is at a nascent stage, primarily limited to reduced geometric representations. Here, we propose a general, three-dimensional computational framework coupling pre-existing morphology, incremental surface growth by accretion, and morpho-elastic volume growth. We exercise this framework by applying it to explain the stepwise morphogenesis of seashells during growth: new material surfaces are laid down by accretive growth on the mantle whose form is determined by its morpho-elastic growth. Calcification of the newest surfaces extends the shell as well as creates a new scaffold that constrains the next growth step. We study the effects of surface and volumetric growth rates, and of previously deposited shell geometries on the resulting modes of mantle deformation, and therefore of the developing shell's morphology. Connections are made to a range of complex shells ornamentations.

In the general case, the Dirac Hamiltonian has randomness in the mass, the scalar potential, and the vector potential. Separately, we show that the network model can also be associated with a nearest neighbour, tight-binding Hamiltonian.

description: High-throughput or Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) has proven to be a time-efficient and cost-effective technique for the sequencing of whole-genomes. Despite its benefits, high-throughput sequencing is remaining a relatively nascent technique for phylogenetic analyses (McCormack 2013). We performed sequence assembly and analysis of genomic reads from a wild Tundra Swan (C. columbianus) and a wild Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator). The reads were assembled into Contigs that were later run through a custom Perl script designed to extract the differences between sequences. We also performed further analysis of the genetic relatedness between swan species using sequences of nuclear gene encoding the chromo-helicase-DNA binding domain (CHD) and associated introns that involved alignments and phylogenetic tree construction. Additionally, polymorphisms in the mitochondrial control region (D-loop) of Trumpeters, Tundra Swans, and hybrids were used for phylogenetic trees analysis. The phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear gene (CHD), D-loop, and genomic sequences indicates strong introgression between the two species due to extensive hybridization.

description: We study transport through a ferromagnetic single-electron transistor. The resistance is represented as a path integral, so that systems where the tunnel resistances are smaller than the quantum resistance can be investigated. Beyond the low order sequential tunneling and co-tunneling regimes, a large magnetoresistance ratio at sufficiently low temperatures is found. In the opposite limit, when the thermal energy is larger than the charging energy, the magnetoresistance ratio is only slightly enhanced.

description: Correlations of the topological charge Q, the electric current J^e and the magnetic current J^m in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the Maximal Abelian projection are investigated. It occurs that the correlator <> is nonzero for a wide range of values of the bare charge. It is shown that: (i) the abelian monopoles in the Maximal Abelian projection are dyons which carry fluctuating electric charge; (ii) the sign of the electric charge e(x) coincides with that of the product of the monopole charge m(x) and the topological charge density Q(x).

Quantum walker as a probe for its coin parameter

description: In discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) the walker's coin space entangles with the position space after the very first step of the evolution. This phenomenon may be exploited to obtain the value of the coin parameter $θ$ by performing measurements on the sole position space of the walker. In this paper, we evaluate the ultimate quantum limits to precision for this class of estimation protocols, and use this result to assess measurement schemes having limited access to the position space of the walker in one dimension. We find that the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of the walker's position space $H_w(θ)$ increases with $θ$ and with time which, in turn, may be seen as a metrological resource. We also find a difference in the QFI of {\em bounded} and {\em unbounded} DTQWs, and provide an interpretation of the different behaviors in terms of interference in the position space. Finally, we compare $H_w(θ)$ to the full QFI $H_f(θ)$, i.e., the QFI of the walkers position plus coin state, and find that their ratio is dependent on $θ$, but saturates to a constant value, meaning that the walker may probe its coin parameter quite faithfully.

title: Assessing Hospital System Resilience to Events Involving Physical Damage and Demand Surge

subject: Discrete event simulation

description: This thesis investigates the effectiveness of formalized collaboration strategies through which patients can be transferred and resources, including staff, equipment and supplies can be shared across hospitals in response to a disaster incident involving mass casualties and area-wide damage. Inflicted damage can affect hospital infrastructure and its supporting lifelines, thus impacting capacity and capability or, ultimately, services that are provided. Using a discrete event simulation framework and underlying open queuing network conceptualization, impacts on critical resources, physical spaces and demand are modeled and the system’s resilience to these hazard events is evaluated. Findings from numerical experiments on a case study involving multiple hospitals spaced over a large metropolitan region replicating a system similar to the Johns Hopkins Hospital System show the potential of strategies involving not only transfers and resource sharing, but also joint capacity enhancement alternatives.
The Quasi-Fixed MSSM

description: The infra-red fixed points are determined for all the parameters of the MSSM. They dominate the renormalisation group running when the top-Yukawa is in the quasi-fixed point regime (i.e. large at the GUT scale). We examine this behaviour analytically, by solving the full set of one-loop renormalisation group equations in the approximation that the electroweak contributions are negligible, and also numerically. We find the quasi-fixed points for the top-quark trilinear couplings; A_{U_{α3}} = A_{U_{3α}}=-0.59 m_g independently of the input parameters at the unification scale. All the remaining parameters are significantly focused towards their true fixed points at the weak scale. We examine how this increases the predictivity of the MSSM in this regime.

Machine Learning And remote sensing applications for lake Michigan coastal processes

subject: Water resources engineering

description: The recent surge in water levels within the Great Lakes has laid bare the vulnerability of the surrounding coastal areas. Over the past few years, communities along the Great Lakes coast have struggled with widespread coastal transformations, witnessing phenomena such as shoreline retreat, alterations in habitat, significant recession of bluffs and dunes, infrastructure and property damage, coastal flooding, and the failure of coastal protection structures. Unlike the ocean coasts, the Great Lakes coastal regions experience a unique confluence of large interannual water level fluctuations, coastal storms, and ice cover dynamics, which complicates the ongoing coastal management endeavors. To address this multifaceted challenge, the interplay between all these factors and their impact on coastal changes should be understood and applied to improve the resilience of Great Lakes coastal areas.
In this dissertation, several steps were taken to improve knowledge of coastal processes in the Great Lakes, spanning from the initial use of remote sensing for quantifying coastal changes to the subsequent stages of modeling and predicting shoreline changes as well as leveraging machine learning techniques to simulate and forecast influential factors like waves and ice cover. First, a fully automated shoreline detection algorithm was developed to quantify the shoreline changes in Lake Michigan, detecting the most vulnerable areas, and determining the main factors responsible for the spatial variability in the shoreline changes. Additionally, a reduced complexity model was designed to simulate the shoreline changes in Lake Michigan by considering both waves and water level fluctuations, which significantly improved the shoreline changes modeling and forecasting for Lake Michigan. Furthermore, new deep learning-based frameworks based on the Convolution Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) were introduced to model and extend the current records of wave heights and ice cover datasets, adding 70% and 50% data to the existing waves and ice time series respectively. Finally, the extended waves and ice time series were used to study the long-term trends and the correlation between the interannual water level and waves changes, revealing a statically significant decreasing trend in the ice cover over Lake Michigan of 0.6 days/year, and an increasing trend in the waves interannual variability at Chicago area.
$V_{cb}$ determination from inclusive $b \to c$ decays: an alternative method

description: The determination of $V_{cb}$ relies on the Heavy-Quark Expansion and the extraction of the non-perturbative matrix elements from inclusive $b\to c$ decays. The proliferation of these matrix elements complicates their extraction at $1/m_b^4$ and higher, thereby limiting the $V_{cb}$ extraction. Reparametrization invariance links different operators in the Heavy-Quark expansion thus reducing the number of independent operators at $1/m_b^4$ to eight for the total rate. We show that this reduction also holds for spectral moments as long as they are defined by reparametrization invariant weight-functions. This is valid in particular for the leptonic invariant mass spectrum ($q^2$), i.e. the differential rate and its moments. Currently, $V_{cb}$ is determined by fitting the energy and hadronic mass moments, which do not manifest this parameter reduction and depend on the full set of 13 matrix elements up to $1/m_b^4$. In light of this, we propose an experimental analysis of the $q^2$ moments to open the possibility of a model-independent $V_{cb}$ extraction from semileptonic decays including the $1/m_b^4$ terms in a fully data-driven way.

description: We present BubbleProfiler, a C++ software package for finding field profiles in bubble walls and calculating the bounce action during phase transitions involving multiple scalar fields. Our code uses a recently proposed perturbative method for potentials with multiple fields and a shooting method for single field cases. BubbleProfiler is constructed with modularity, flexibility and practicality in mind. These principles extend from the input of an arbitrary potential with multiple scalar fields in various forms, through the code structure, to the testing suite. After reviewing the physics context, we describe how the methods are implemented in BubbleProfiler, provide an overview of the code structure and detail usage scenarios. We present a number of examples that serve as test cases of BubbleProfiler and comparisons to existing public codes with similar functionality. We also show a physics application of BubbleProfiler in the scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model of particle physics by calculating the action as a function of model parameters during the electroweak phase transition. BubbleProfiler completes an important link in the toolchain for studying the properties of the thermal phase transition driving baryogenesis and properties of gravitational waves in models with multiple scalar fields.
