description: Applying the concept of triadic closure to coauthorship networks means that scholars are likely to publish a joint paper if they have previously coauthored with the same people. Prior research has identified moderate to high (20% to 40%) closure rates; suggesting that this mechanism is a reasonable explanation for tie formation between future coauthors. We show how calculating triadic closure based on prior operationalizations of closure, namely Newman's measure for one-mode networks (NCC) and Opsahl's measure for two-mode networks (OCC), may lead to higher amounts of closure as compared to measuring closure over time via a metric that we introduce and test in this paper. Based on empirical experiments using four large-scale, longitudinal datasets, we find a lower bound of about 1~3% closure rates and an upper bound of about 4~7%. These results motivate research on new explanatory factors for the formation of coauthorship links.

description: We numerically explore electron acceleration and coronal heating by dissipative electric fields. Electrons are traced in linear force-free magnetic fields extrapolated from SOHO/MDI magnetograms, endowed with anomalous resistivity ($η$) in localized dissipation regions where the magnetic twist $\nabla \times \bhat$ exceeds a given threshold. Associated with $η> 0$ is a parallel electric field ${\bf E} = η{\bf j}$ which can accelerate runaway electrons. In order to gain observational predictions we inject electrons inside the dissipation regions and follow them for several seconds in real time. Precipitating electrons which leave the simulation system at height $z$ = 0 are associated with hard X rays, and electrons which escape at height $z$ $\sim$ 3$\cdot 10^4$ km are associated with normal-drifting type IIIs at the local plasma frequency. A third, trapped, population is related to gyrosynchrotron emission. Time profiles and spectra of all three emissions are calculated, and their dependence on the geometric model parameters and on $η$ is explored. It is found that precipitation generally preceeds escape by fractions of a second, and that the electrons perform many visits to the dissipation regions before leaving the simulation system. The electrons impacting $z$ = 0 reach higher energies than the escaping ones, and non-Maxwellian tails are observed at energies above the largest potential drop across a single dissipation region. Impact maps at $z$ = 0 show a tendency of the electrons to arrive at the borders of sunspots of one polarity. Although the magnetograms used here belong to non-flaring times, so that the simulations refer to nanoflares and `quiescent' coronal heating, it is conjectured that the same process, on a larger scale, is responsible for solar flares.

description: We carry out three-dimensional, high resolution (up to $1024^2\times 256$) hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of vortices in vertically unstratified Keplerian disks using the shearing sheet approximation. The transient amplification of incompressible, linear amplitude leading waves (which has been proposed as a possible route to nonlinear hydrodynamical turbulence in disks) is used as one test of our algorithms; our methods accurately capture the predicted amplification, converges at second-order, and is free from aliasing. Waves expected to reach nonlinear amplitude at peak amplification become unstable to Kelvin-Helmholtz modes when $\mid W_{\rm max}\mid\gtrsim Ω$ (where $W_{\rm max}$ is the local maximum of vorticity and $Ω$ the angular velocity). We study the evolution of a power-law distribution of vorticity consistent with Kolmogorov turbulence; in two-dimensions long-lived vortices emerge and decay slowly, similar to previous studies. In three-dimensions, however, vortices are unstable to bending modes, leading to rapid decay. Only vortices with a length to width ratio smaller than one survive; in three-dimensions the residual kinetic energy and shear stress is at least one order of magnitude smaller than in two-dimensions. No evidence for sustained hydrodynamical turbulence and transport is observed in three-dimensions. Instead, at late times the residual transport is determined by the amplitude of slowly decaying, large-scale vortices (with horizontal extent comparable to the scale height of the disk), with additional contributions from nearly incompressible inertial waves possible. Evaluating the role that large-scale vortices play in astrophysical accretion disks will require understanding the mechanisms that generate and destroy them.

description: Current flight control validation is heavily based on linear analysis and high fidelity, nonlinear simulations. Continuing developments of nonlinear analysis tools for flight control has greatly enhanced the validation process. Many analysis tools are reliant on assuming the analytical flight dynamics but this paper proposes an approach using only simulation data. First, this paper presents improvements to a method for estimating the region of attraction (ROA) of nonlinear systems governed by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) based only on trajectory measurements. Faster and more accurate convergence to the true ROA results. These improvements make the proposed algorithm feasible in higher-dimensional and more complex systems. Next, these tools are used to analyze the four-state longitudinal dynamics of NASA's Generic Transport Model (GTM) aircraft. A piecewise polynomial model of the GTM is used to simulate trajectories and the developed analysis tools are used to estimate the ROA around a trim condition based only on this trajectory data. Finally, the algorithm presented is extended to estimate the ROA of finitely many equilibrium point systems and of general equilibrium set (arbitrary equilibrium points and limit cycles) systems.

description: The purpose of this article is twofold. First we outline a general construction scheme for producing simply-connected minimal symplectic 4-manifolds with small Euler characteristics. Using this scheme, we illustrate how to obtain irreducible symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to $\CP#(2k+1)\CPb$ for $k = 1,...,4$, or to $3\CP# (2l+3)\CPb$ for $l =1,...,6$. Secondly, for each of these homeomorphism types, we show how to produce an infinite family of pairwise nondiffeomorphic nonsymplectic 4-manifolds belonging to it. In particular, we prove that there are infinitely many exotic irreducible nonsymplectic smooth structures on $\CP#3\CPb$, $3\CP#5\CPb$ and $3\CP#7\CPb$.

description: Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial disease of unknown origin, characterized by tissue fibrosis, for which currently there is no effective treatment. Macrophages, the main immune cells in lung tissue, are involved in the whole process of pulmonary fibrosis. In recent years, intercellular transformation has led to wide spread concern among pulmonary fibrosis researchers. Macrophages with flexible heterogeneity and plasticity participate in different physiological processes in the body. Cell chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) is expressed in a variety of cells and plays a significant chemotactic role in the induction of cell activation and migration. It can also promote the differentiation of macrophages under certain environmental conditions. The current study is intended to explore the role of CCR8 in macrophage to myofibroblast transdifferentiation (MMT) in IPF. Methods: We conducted experiments using CCR8-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA), an autophagy inhibitor (3-methyladenine, 3-MA), and an agonist (rapamycin) to explore the underlying mechanisms of macrophage transdifferentiation into myofibroblast cells in transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Results: TGF-β treatment increased the CCR8 protein level in a time- and dose-dependent manner in mouse alveolar macrophages, as well as macrophage transdifferentiation-related markers, including vimentin, collagen 1, and a-SMA, and cell migration. In addition, the levels of autophagy were enhanced in macrophages treated with TGF-β. We found that 3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor, decreased the expression levels of macrophage transdifferentiation-related markers and attenuated cell migration. Furthermore, the inhibition of CCR8 via CCR8-specific siRNA reduced the levels of autophagy and macrophage transdifferentiation-related markers, and inhibited the cell migration. Enhancing autophagy with rapamycin attenuated the inhibition effect of CCR8-specific siRNA on macrophage migration and the increase in myofibroblast marker proteins. Conclusions: Our findings showed that the macrophages exposed to TGF-β had the potential to transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts and CCR8 was involved in the process. The effect of CCR8 on TGF-β-induced macrophage transdifferentiation occurs mainly through autophagy. Targeting CCR8 may be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of IPF.

description: We analyse numerically the transitions in an Unruh-DeWitt detector, coupled linearly to a massless scalar field, in radial infall in (3+1)-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetime. In the Hartle-Hawking and Unruh states, the transition probability attains a small local extremum near the horizon-crossing and is then moderately enhanced on approaching the singularity. In the Boulware state, the transition probability drops on approaching the horizon. The unexpected near-horizon extremum arises numerically from angular momentum superpositions, with a deeper physical explanation to be found.

description: To train algorithms for supervised author name disambiguation, many studies have relied on hand-labeled truth data that are very laborious to generate. This paper shows that labeled training data can be automatically generated using information features such as email address, coauthor names, and cited references that are available from publication records. For this purpose, high-precision rules for matching name instances on each feature are decided using an external-authority database. Then, selected name instances in target ambiguous data go through the process of pairwise matching based on the rules. Next, they are merged into clusters by a generic entity resolution algorithm. The clustering procedure is repeated over other features until further merging is impossible. Tested on 26,566 instances out of the population of 228K author name instances, this iterative clustering produced accurately labeled data with pairwise F1 = 0.99. The labeled data represented the population data in terms of name ethnicity and co-disambiguating name group size distributions. In addition, trained on the labeled data, machine learning algorithms disambiguated 24K names in test data with performance of pairwise F1 = 0.90 ~ 0.92. Several challenges are discussed for applying this method to resolving author name ambiguity in large-scale scholarly data.

description: By combining neutron four-circle diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction techniques we have determined the complex spin structures of a multiferroic, YMn2O5, that exhibits two ferroelectric phases at low temperatures. The obtained magnetic structure has spiral components in both the low temperature ferroelectric phases that are magnetically commensurate and incommensurate, respectively. Among proposed microscopic theories for the magneto-electric coupling, our results are consistent with both the spin-current model that requires a magnetic transverse (cycloidal) spiral structure in order to induce a spontaneous electric polarization and the magneto-restriction model. Our results also explain why the electric polarization changes at the commensurate-to-incommensurate phase transition.

description: Unfavorable electron recombination, which hinders the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), usually occurs at the TiO2/dye/electrolyte interface on a photoanode. Polyoxometalates (POMs), as good electron acceptors, can be used as electron-transfer materials in DSSCs to improve electron transport in TiO2 and reduce electron recombining on the interface of a photoanode. In this paper, the pure inorganic sandwich-type POM Na9[Na3(H2O)6Cu3(H2O)3(SbW9O33)2]·40H2O (Cu3Na3POM) was mixed with TiO2 to form nanocomposites by simple sol-gel method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) proved that Cu3Na3POM and TiO2 combined. Then the nanocomposite was doped with P25 to form Cu3Na3POM@TiO2/P25 photoanodes which were applied to the DSSCs. The Cu3Na3POM improved the transfer and recombination of electrons in the photoanode, proved by open circuit voltage decay (OCVD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra showed that Cu3Na3POM optimized the morphology of the photoanode and the adsorption capacity of dye. The electrochemical test showed that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSSCs with Cu3Na3POM@TiO2/P25 photoanodes was enhanced to 6.91%, which was 13.66% higher than the DSSCs without Cu3Na3POM.

description: Ethanol produced from grain is viewed by many as a way to reduce energy imports, levels of carbon monoxide in the air, and surplus grain stocks. Federal and State governments helped to establish the fuel ethanol industry by providing direct payments, tax exemptions, and loan guarantees. Future policy decisions could significantly affect ethanol production and demand. Treatment of ethanol in agricultural policy is made difficult by its ties to energy, environmental, and trade policy. This bulletin provides a basis for assessing the contribution of ethanol production to national objectives.

description: Collision and disruption processes of proto-planetary bodies in the early solar system are key to understanding the genesis of diverse types of main-belt asteroids. Mesosiderites are stony-iron meteorites that formed by mixing of howardite-eucrite-diogenite-like crust and molten core materials and provide unique insights into the catastrophic break-up of differentiated asteroids. However, the enigmatic formation process and the poorly constrained timing of metal-silicate mixing complicate the assignment to potential parent bodies. Here we report high-precision uranium-lead dating of mesosiderite zircons by isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry, revealing initial crust formation 4,558.5 +/- 2.1 million years ago and metal-silicate mixing at 4,525.39 +/- 0.85 million years. The two distinct ages coincide with the timing of crust formation and a large-scale reheating event on the eucrite parent body, likely the asteroid Vesta. This chronological coincidence corroborates that Vesta is the parent body of mesosiderite silicates. Mesosiderite formation on Vesta can be explained by a hit-and-run collision 4,525.4 million years ago that caused the thick crust observed by NASA's Dawn mission and explains the missing olivine in mesosiderites, howardite-eucrite-diogenite meteorites, and vestoids.

Σε αρουραίους, με ή χωρίς αγωγή με αντιφλεγμονώδες φάρμακι(παράγωγο της δικλοφαινάκης), που υπέστησαν ισχαιμικό πλήγμα, ανιχνεύθηκαν τα επίπεδα των ενζύμων COX-1 και COX-2, των κιτοκινών IL-iβ, -4, -6, -10, -18, TNF-9, IFN-8, καθώς και της ενεργού μορφής της κασπεάσης-3, τόσο σε τομές εγκεφάλου με ανοσοανίχνευση όσο και φωτομετρικά σε εκχυλίσματα εγκεφάλου. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στα επίπεδα όλων των μετρούμενων παραμέτρων στους εγκεφάλους των ισχαιμικών αρουραίων σε σχέση με αυτούς των φυσιολογικών πειρανατόζωων. Επίσης, σημαντικά ποσοστά μείωσης των IL-6,-18, του TNF-a, της ΙΦΝ-γ και της κασπεάσης-3 με ταυτόχρονη άνοδο των επιπέδων της IL-10 εμφανίζονται στους αρουραίους που υπέστησαν αγωγή με το φάρμακο σε σχεση με αυτούς χωρίς αγωγή, στις 3 ημέρες μετά την επαγωγή της ισχαιμίας
description: Aim of this research is the correlation of Non Steroidol Antiiflammatory Drugs with the prevention of consequences of ischaemia. In rats, treated or not with a derivative of diclofenac after 45 minutes of ischaemia, we investigated the levels of the enzymes COX_1 and -2, Cytokines IC-1b, -4, -6, -10, -18, TNF-a, INF-γ and caspase-3 in rat brain slices immunohistochemically and in brain homogenates colorimetrically. Results showed statistically significant differences in the level of all investigated factors between ischaemic and normal rat brains. Significant lower amounts of IL-6, -18, IFN-8, TNF-a and caspase-3 were also erased in the brains of the treated rats compared to those not treated 3 days after ischaemia, while the levels of IL-10 models increased

Integrating cumulative effects assessment with regional planning
Creators: name: Colnett, Dianna Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis explores the question of how regional planning for the assessment and management of cumulative environmental effects would differ from existing regional planning systems in terms of goals, planning processes, and regional governance. The thesis begins with a review of the field of cumulative effects assessment, followed by an exploration of the linkages between the assessment of cumulative effects and regional planning. Then, principles to integrate the assessment of cumulative effects with regional planning are identified and explained. The principles are, in terms of planning goals, to maintain ecological integrity, reduce consumption of resources and energy, and minimize waste. In terms of planning processes, the principles are to employ a strategic planning perspective, undertake comprehensive planning, ensure the planning process is adaptable, and involve the public throughout the planning process. In terms of governance and institutional concerns, the principles are to give regional districts the authority and fiscal capacity to implement and enforce decisions and make regional districts accountable to their citizens. The case of regional planning in Greater Vancouver is used to illustrate how these principles can be applied. An evaluation of the degree to which regional planning in Greater Vancouver currently meets the principles is undertaken to identify where efforts for change in regional planning can be directed. Overall, in terms of a four-point scale from poor to excellent, Greater Vancouver's regional planning is rated as fair in terms of setting relevant policy goals and fair to good in meeting the principles of governance. In terms of planning practice, the region is good but moving to fair with respect to being strategic and comprehensive and only fair in terms of being adaptive and participatory. It is concluded that because regional planning is a suitable forum for linking local action with global issues, regional planning can provide an appropriate institutional context for the assessment and management of cumulative effects. However, current approaches to regional planning in Greater Vancouver would have to change substantially to address this goal. While many constraints stand in the way of change, many opportunities also exist. To realize the potential of regional planning for assessing and managing cumulative effects, institutional arrangements, attitudes, and professional practice will have to change.

Monomer Fluctuations and the Distribution of Residual Bond Orientations in Polymer Networks

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: In the present work, four series of simulations are analyzed: entangled model networks of a) mono-disperse or b) poly-disperse weight distribution between the crosslinks, c) non-entangled phantom model networks and d) non-entangled model networks with excluded volume interactions. Previous work on the average residual bond orientations (RBO) of model networks [1] is extended to describe the distribution of RBOs for the entangled networks of the present study. The phantom model can be used to describe the monomer fluctuations, average RBOs, and the distribution of RBOs in networks without entanglements and without excluded volume. Monomer fluctuations in networks with excluded volume but without entanglements can be described if the phantom model is corrected by the effect of the incompletely screened excluded volume. It is shown that parameters of the tube model can be determined from monomer fluctuations in polymer networks and from the RBO. A scaling of the RBO $\propto N^{-1/2}$ is observed in both mono-disperse and poly-disperse entangled networks, while for all networks without entanglements an RBO $\propto N^{-1}$ is found. The distribution of the RBO of entangled samples can be described by assuming a normal distribution of tube lengths that is broadened by local fluctuations in tube curvature. Both observables, monomer fluctuations and RBO, are in agreement with slip link or slip tube models [2] for networks and disagree with network models that do not allow a sliding motion of the monomers along a confining tube.

description: Bi-stable mechanical resonators play a significant role in various applications, such as sensors, memory elements, and quantum computing. While carbon nanotube (CNT) based resonators have been widely investigated as promising nano electro-mechanical devices, a bi-stable CNT resonator has never been demonstrated. Here, we report a new class of CNT resonators in which the nanotube is buckled upward. We show that a small upward buckling yields record electrical frequency tunability, whereas larger buckling can achieve Euler-Bernoulli (EB) bi-stability, the smallest mechanical resonator with two stable configurations to date. We believe that these recently discovered CNT devices will open new avenues for realizing nano-sensors, mechanical memory elements and parametric amplifiers. Furthermore, we present a three-dimensional theoretical analysis revealing significant nonlinear coupling between the in-plane and out-of-plane static and dynamic modes of motion, and a unique three-dimensional EB snap-through transition. We utilize this coupling to provide a conclusive explanation for the low quality factor in CNT resonators at room temperature, key in understanding dissipation mechanisms at the nano scale.
Ethics by the people

description: The Problem I will be addressing is, quite simply, "What role, if any, can philosophers legitimately play in biomedical ethics?" When one considers the recent backlash against ethical theory; philosophers' own dissatisfaction with their relationship with biomedicine; and the depth and urgency of the pertinent moral issues, it is nearly impossible to be unmoved by the enormity of the challenge. But will philosophy meet the challenge? Many of those who are familiar with the current state of biomedical ethics are inclined to be doubtful. The thesis I shall advance and defend is that this doubt is well-founded if we suppose that philosophers continue to apply their theoretical resources in biomedicine in the same manner as has usually been done. Unless philosophers dramatically change the nature of their approach in biomedical ethics, they will continue to face frustration and to be regarded as ineffectual. The role they must adopt requires them to work with many others (nurses, patients, doctors, lawyers, etc.) as equals, bringing their skills and talents to bear along with the skills and talents of non-philosophers. Without a strong inter-dependence between philosophers and non-philosophers, biomedical ethics will not prosper, nor evolve into the kind of tool that is direly needed in the health sciences. In order to defend the thesis I am advancing, I will survey some of the literature that has dealt with the problems facing philosophers in the clinic in recent years. The case against biomedical ethics (and, in particular, normative ethical theory) will be explored to reveal the content of the criticisms and their force. Following some discussion of these criticisms, pursued in order to discover elements of a new approach to the role philosophers can legitimately play in biomedical ethics, I will attempt to build a constructive alternative from these positive fragments. My conclusion, very generally, is that philosophers' skills and resources permit them to function best in close cooperation with others. I will rely on an account of a public forum (comprised of doctors, patients, theologians, nurses, etc.) to illustrate the kind of role philosophers could most effectively and legitimately pursue. Because of the nature of their activities, philosophers would, for example, often play an important role in isolating and defending significant value questions. A strong sense of inter-dependence would develop as physicians and the forum interacted. Physicians, who must be active in their roles as moral agents, would primarily be concerned with developing rules, guidelines, etc. for practical cases. Physicans would be assisted by a small group of non-physicians to ensure that important social goals are taken into account. The forum would act as an external critic of these rules, both prospectively and retro-actively. The success of the forum would provide biomedical ethics with important practical input that should be used for its growth and development.
