description: Nel De nostri temporis studiorum ratione Vico mette a confronto il metodo di studi dei moderni con quello degli antichi, proponendosi di codificarne un terzo che abbia i vantaggi di entrambi e sia privo dei loro inconvenienti. Polemizza con la filosofia cartesiana e con la moderna critica attaccandone il preteso fondamento, il «primo vero» scevro di ogni immagine sensibile, al quale contrappone la ricchezza epistemologica del verosimile, e rivendicando la centralità dell’eloquenza. Vico ha una precisa concezione del sapere e della politica educativa: ai suoi occhi decisiva è la vita sociale, nella quale non sempre il rigore della critica risulta più efficace della forza immaginativa dell’eloquenza.

In his On the study method of our times Vico established a comparaison between the ancient study method and the modern one looking for a new method which should have the advantages of both without their disadvantages. Vico criticizes cartesian philosophy and his supposed fundamental principle, the «primum verum» free from every sensible image and sets the epistemological wealth of «verisimilia» to it. Vico has a peculiar idea of education and of her aims: according to Vico, social life is crucial and in politics not always handling with the utmost exactitude is better than turning to rhetoric.

Occasional other shapes and sizes are also observed. Fig. S2. Bismuth nanoparticles in aqueous solutions remain stable over time. Visual examination reveals that BiNPs remained stable over time. Visually, an 11-week-old synthesis (B) kept light-protected at 4 oC, appears identical to a freshly prepared synthesis (A). UV-Vis spectrophotometry reveals that their optical properties (absorbance profiles) remain similar -with minor changes- (C) between the old synthesis (red) and the new preparation (blue). Fig. S3. Inhibition of S. aureus and C. albicans by different bismuth compounds under both planktonic and biofilm growing conditions. The dose-response curves against S. aureus (top panels), and C. albicans (bottom panels) show that bismuth compounds display different degrees of antimicrobial activity under planktonic (A, C) and biofilm (B, D) growing conditions.

description: Management of water resources has become a major challenge in recent years. Reservoir

operation is designed based on the interrelated hydrological, physical, and operational

parameters that have direct and indirect relation on the water resource activity to the

downstream of the reservoir.

In the next 30 years, water use will increase by 50% in the world. By 2025, about 4 billion

people will live under conditions of severe water stress (Gourbesvivelli, 2008).

Therefore, development of priority water infrastructures and improvements of water

management have essential and complementary roles in contributing to sustainable

growth and poverty reduction in developing countries like Ethiopia. One way of improving

water management is through increasing efficiency of dam reservoirs. Increasing the

efficiency reservoir by using optimal reservoir operation is among the solutions for improvement

of hydropower generation.
Resonant-state-expansion Born approximation with a correct eigenmode normalisation

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Born approximation (Born 1926 Z.Phys.38.802) is a fundamental result in physics, it allows the calculation of weak scattering via the Fourier transform of the scattering potential. As was done by previous authors (Ge et al 2014 New J. Phys. 16 113048) the Born approximation is extended by including in the formula the resonant-states (RSs) of the scatterer. However in this study unlike previous studies the included eigen-modes are correctly normalised with dramatic positive consequences for the accuracy of the method. The normalisation of the RSs used in the previous RSE Born approximation or resonant-state-expansion Born approximation made in Ge et al (2014 New J. Phys. 16 113048) has been shown to be numerically unstable in Muljarov et al (2014 arXiv:1409.6877) and by analytics here. The RSs of the system can be calculated using my recently discovered RSE perturbation theory for dispersive electrodynamic scatterers (Muljarov et al 2010 Europhys. Lett. 92 50010; Doost et al 2012 Phys, Rev. A 89; Doost et al 2014 Phys. Rev. A 90 013834) and normalised correctly to appear in the spectral Green's functions and hence the RSE Born approximation via the flux-volume normalisation which I recently rigorously derived in Armitage et al (2014 Phys. Rev. A 89), Doost et al (2014 Phys. Rev. A 90 013834)(2016 Phys. Rev. A 93 023835). In the case of effectively one-dimensional systems I find an RSE Born approximation alternative to the scattering matrix method.

description: Excerpts from the report: Lancaster County is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania and is situated along the western fringe of the eastern seaboard megalopolis between Philadelphia and Baltimore. With a land area of 603,800 acres, Lancaster County is the 12th largest of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania. The county also includes 20,800 acres of water, primarily the Susquehanna River, that forms the western boundary. Lancaster County is comprised of 12 major watersheds, 11 of which drain into the Susquehanna River. The 12th watershed comprises the headwaters of the Brandywine Creek in the northeastern part of the county. The Brandywine eventually drains into the Delaware River. Major resource problems and concerns Identified include competition for the use of agricultural land, water supply and demand, erosion and sedimentation, flooding, livestock manure management, and fish and wildlife. The principal objectives of the Study were to: 1. Identify and analyze land use conflicts. 2. Provide analytical methods to assist in making decisions about the county's future development. 3. Develop a data base to understand changes in the use and quality of land and water.
description: Authority for this study is Section 6 of Public Law 566, 83rd Congress, as amended. The study was coordinated with other Federal and State agencies. The work was carried out within USDA in accordance with Memorandum of Understanding RB-2 (Rev.), dated May 6, 1978, between the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), Forest Service (FS), and the Economic Research Service (ERS). Study participants consisted of USDA agencies - SCS, FS, and ERS, as well as the Lancaster County Planning Commission (LCPC), Lancaster Conservation District (LCD), and the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).

description: Technology is evolving, providing humanity with incredible productivity tools like artificial intelligence. Simultaneously, news reporting is evolving, providing readers with more ways to consume the news while finding new ways to write it. Both entities have reached a point where the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence is at a critical juncture. Newsrooms have employed the use of artificial intelligence for increases in reporting speed and synthesizing large sets of data, and artificial intelligence has proven capable of crafting articles autonomously with high levels of accuracy in a matter of seconds. What has not evolved are the ethics policies of newsrooms to account for these rapid changes and the allowance of machines to work untethered with potentially sensitive or inaccurate information. To this end, newsroom ethics policies as of 2018 were examined as they pertain to the rising prevalence of artificial intelligence. The result is an analysis of the possible future use of artificial intelligence for the news industry and the creation of an ethics field guide that merges current journalistic standards and expectations with technological changes to avoid potential ethical and legal challenges.
Flows and stochastic Taylor series in Ito calculus

description: For stochastic systems driven by continuous semimartingales an explicit formula for the logarithm of the Ito flow map is given. A similar formula is also obtained for solutions of linear matrix-valued SDEs driven by arbitrary semimartingales. The computation relies on the lift to quasi-shuffle algebras of formulas involving products of Ito integrals of semimartingales. Whereas the Chen-Strichartz formula computing the logarithm of the Stratonovich flow map is classically expanded as a formal sum indexed by permutations, the analogous formula in Ito calculus is naturally indexed by surjections. This reflects the change of algebraic background involved in the transition between the two integration theories.
Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds and arithmetic invariants

description: Oeljeklaus-Toma (OT) manifolds are certain compact complex manifolds built from number fields. Conversely, we show that the fundamental group often pins down the number field uniquely. We relate the first homology to some interesting ideal. OT manifolds are never Kähler, but carry an LCK metric (locally conformally Kähler). Oeljeklaus and Toma used them to disprove a conjecture on the Betti numbers of spaces carrying LCK metrics. Mysteriously, the volume for this metric gives the discriminant and Dirichlet regulator of the number field. Totally unlike the above topological aspects, there does not seem to be a conceptual reason why this should be expected. Is it a coincidence? We explore this and see what happens if we (entirely experimentally!) regard them as "baby siblings" of, say, hyperbolic manifolds coming from number fields. We ask the same questions and obtain similar answers, but ultimately it remains unclear whether we are chasing ghosts or not.

description: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from young, healthy individuals are valuable tools for investigating molecular disease mechanisms during the early development of the brain vasculature. We generated an iPSC line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a healthy 13-yeard old female donor using the Sendai virus. The iPSCs differentiated into endothelial cells, astrocytes, and neurons. This iPSC line can serve as a healthy reference control for comparative studies in drug development and modeling the early onset of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM).

We provide a new bijection between saliency maps and hierarchies based on quasi-flat zones as used in image processing and characterize saliency maps and minimum spanning trees as solutions to constrained minimization problems where the constraint is quasi-flat zones preservation. In practice, these results form a toolkit for new hierarchical methods where one can choose the most convenient representation. They also invite us to process non-image data with morphological hierarchies.

description: H. J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation one in the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate in the rational group algebra to an element of $G$. One way to verify this is showing that such unit has the same distribution of partial augmentations as an element of $G$ and the HeLP Method provides a tool to do that in some cases. In this paper we use the HeLP Method to describe the partial augmentations of a hypothetical counterexample to the conjecture for the projective special linear groups.

description: DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) play an essential role in DNA methylation and transcriptional regulation in the genome. DNMTs, along with other poorly studied elements, modulate the dynamic DNA methylation patterns of embryonic and adult cells. We summarize the current knowledge on the molecular mechanism of DNMTs’ functional targeting to maintain genome-wide DNA methylation patterns. We focus on DNMTs’ intrinsic characteristics, transcriptional regulation, and post-transcriptional modifications. Furthermore, we focus special attention on the DNMTs’ specificity for target sites, including key cis-regulatory factors such as CpG content, common motifs, transcription factors (TF) binding sites, lncRNAs, and histone marks to regulate DNA methylation. We also review how complexes of DNMTs/TFs or DNMTs/lncRNAs are involved in DNA methylation in specific genome regions. Understanding these processes is essential because the spatiotemporal regulation of DNA methylation modulates gene expression in health and disease.

description: Cosmography is a phenomenological and relatively model-independent approach to cosmology, where physical quantities are expanded as a Taylor series in the cosmological redshift, or in related variables. Here we apply this methodology to constrain possible cosmological variations of the fine-structure constant, $α$. Two peculiarities of this case are the existence of high-redshift data, and the fact that one term in the series is directly and tightly constraint by local laboratory tests with atomic clocks. We use this atomic clock data, together with direct model-independent high-resolution astrophysical spectroscopy measurements of $α$ up to redshift $z\sim7$ and additional model-dependent constraints on $α$ from the cosmic microwave background and big bang nucleosynthesis, to place stringent (parts per million level) constraints on the first two terms in the $α$ cosmographic series.

description: Alexander Disease (AxD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), which supports the structural integrity of astrocytes. Over 70 GFAP missense mutations cause AxD, but the mechanism linking different mutations to disease-relevant phenotypes remains unknown. We used AxD patient brain tissue and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived astrocytes to investigate the hypothesis that AxD-causing mutations perturb key post-translational modifications (PTMs) on GFAP. Our findings reveal selective phosphorylation of GFAP-Ser13 in patients who died young, independently of the mutation they carried. AxD iPSC-astrocytes accumulated pSer13-GFAP in cytoplasmic aggregates within deep nuclear invaginations, resembling the hallmark Rosenthal fibers observed in vivo. Ser13 phosphorylation facilitated GFAP aggregation and was associated with increased GFAP proteolysis by caspase-6. Furthermore, caspase-6 was selectively expressed in young AxD patients, and correlated with the presence of cleaved GFAP. We reveal a novel PTM signature linking different GFAP mutations in infantile AxD.

description: India’s seemingly kitschy, contemporary visual culture is a result of a multicultural history. Its visual culture is transitioning into a more digitally influenced language as a result of globalization. Matchbox labels have represented various points in India’s history by drawing from cultural, political and social changes. A collection of these old labels will tell the viewer a story about India’s history. However, the focus of these communicative matchbox labels has shifted. This research aims at analyzing, deconstructing and creating Indian Matchbox labels in order to experiment with cultivating a visual language of labels that can engage in current and contemporary narratives of a changing India. It aims at contemporizing the themes on these labels in order to reflect socio-political change and their capacity to tell stories and raise dialogue. The labels on these matchboxes draw from several sources, from socio-political movements to the flora and fauna of India. Comparing the labels produced during India’s early years of Independence with those from the last decade, this paper aims to understand how Indian matchbox labels can be used as lens to explore a complex visual language. The research has chosen to focus on matchboxes as they are accessible, well documented and have been used for an array of purposes over history. Matchboxes as opposed to posters, pamphlets and other forms of printed media have been the most financially accessible printed product, hence making the content presented on them an exploitable form of communication.

description: It is well known that clonal cells can make different fate decisions, but it is unclear whether these decisions are determined during, or before, a cell's own lifetime. Here, we engineered an endogenous fluorescent reporter for the pluripotency factor OCT4 to study the timing of differentiation decisions in human embryonic stem cells. By tracking single-cell OCT4 levels over multiple cell cycle generations, we found that the decision to differentiate is largely determined before the differentiation stimulus is presented and can be predicted by a cell's preexisting OCT4 signaling patterns. We further quantified how maternal OCT4 levels were transmitted to, and distributed between, daughter cells. As mother cells underwent division, newly established OCT4 levels in daughter cells rapidly became more predictive of final OCT4 expression status. These results imply that the choice between developmental cell fates can be largely predetermined at the time of cell birth through inheritance of a pluripotency factor.

description: We consider a thermofield approach to analyze the evolution of an open quantum system coupled to an environment at finite temperature. In this approach, the finite temperature environment is exactly mapped onto two virtual environments at zero temperature. These two environments are then unitarily transformed into two different chains of oscillators, leading to a one dimensional structure that can be numerically studied using tensor network techniques.

description: Among critical concepts in Mulla Sadra's thought, which, of course, cannot be discussed separately between the parts. This is because the basic rules in philosophical discourse are universal traits that make it approached from various directions as a unified form of reality. One of Sadra's famous thoughts is the concept of the soul, which is related to the roots of his philosophical doctrine of being. The significance of the discussion of the soul by Mulla Sadra becomes increasingly crucial given the discourse about the soul, especially in the debate of modern European philosophy in such a way that are absurd forms in Islamic religious doctrine. Therefore, seeing the relationship between the two models of approach to the soul is not only the only way to understand the universal message of the Islamic treatise about the soul but also creates a model of dialogue volume two of Ibn Rusyd-Ghazali becoming Mulla Sadra versus Modern Europe.

description: We propose a Gauss-Legendre quadrature based sampling on the rotation group for the representation of a band-limited signal such that the Fourier transform (FT) of a signal can be exactly computed from its samples. Our figure of merit is the sampling efficiency, which is defined as a ratio of the degrees of freedom required to represent a band-limited signal in harmonic domain to the number of samples required to accurately compute the FT. The proposed sampling scheme is asymptotically as efficient as the most efficient scheme developed very recently. For the computation of FT and inverse FT, we also develop fast algorithms of complexity similar to the complexity attained by the fast algorithms for the existing sampling schemes. The developed algorithms are stable, accurate and do not have any pre-computation requirements. We also analyse the computation time and numerical accuracy of the proposed algorithms and show, through numerical experiments, that the proposed Fourier transforms are accurate with errors on the order of numerical precision.

description: Breast cancers with lactating features, some of which are associated with pregnancy and lactation, are often poorly differentiated, lack estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression and have high mortality. Very little is known about the molecular mechanisms that drive uncontrolled cell proliferation in these tumors and confer lactating features. We have recently reported expression of OCT4 and associated embryonic stem cell self-renewal genes in the normal lactating breast and breastmilk stem cells (hBSCs). This prompted us to examine OCT4 expression in breast cancers with lactating features and compare it with that observed during normal lactation, using rare specimens of human lactating breast. In accordance with previous literature, the normal resting breast (from non-pregnant, non-lactating women) showed minimal OCT4 nuclear expression (0.9%). However, this increased in the normal lactating breast (11.4%), with further increase in lactating adenomas, lactating carcinomas, and pregnancy-associated breast cancer (30.7-48.3%). OCT4 was expressed in the epithelium and at lower levels in the stroma, and was co-localized with NANOG. Comparison of normal non-tumorigenic hBSCs with OCT4-overexpressing tumorigenic breast cell lines (OTBCs) demonstrated upregulation of OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG in both systems, but OTBCs expressed OCT4 at significantly higher levels than SOX2 and NANOG. Similar to hBSCs, OTBCs displayed multi-lineage differentiation potential, including the ability to differentiate into functional lactocytes synthesizing milk proteins both in vitro and in vivo. Based on these findings, we propose a hypothesis of normal and malignant transformation in the breast, which centers on OCT4 and its associated gene network. Although minimal expression of these embryonic genes can be seen in the breast in its resting state throughout life, a controlled program of upregulation of this gene network may be a potential regulator of the normal remodeling of the breast toward a milk-secretory organ during pregnancy and lactation. Deregulation of this gene network either within or outside pregnancy and lactation may lead to aberrant breast cell proliferation and malignant transformation, suggesting a role of these genes in both normal lactation and breast oncogenesis.

description: Models for tidal disruption events (TDEs) in which a supermassive black hole disrupts a star commonly assume that the highly eccentric streams of bound stellar debris promptly form a circular accretion disk at the pericenter scale. However, recent numerical simulations (Shiokawa et al., 2015) demonstrated that dissipation via hydrodynamical shocks is insufficient to circularize debris, and the flow retains its initial semi-major axis scale throughout the first ~10 orbits of the event. The bolometric peak luminosity of most TDE candidates, a few x 10^{44} erg/s, implies that we observe only ~1% of the energy expected from radiatively efficient accretion. Motivated by these results, (Piran et al., 2015) suggested that the observed optical TDE emission is powered by shocks at the apocenter between freshly infalling material and earlier arriving matter. This model explains the small radiated energy, the low temperature, and the large radius implied by the observations as well as the t^{-5/3} light curve. However the question of the system's low {bolometric} efficiency remains unanswered. We suggest that the high orbital energy and low angular momentum of the flow make it possible for magnetic stresses to reduce the matter's already small angular momentum to the point at which it can fall ballistically into the SMBH before circularization. As a result, the efficiency is only ~1--10% of a standard accretion disk's efficiency. Thus, the intrinsically high eccentricity of the tidal debris naturally explains why most TDE candidates are fainter than expected.

description: In both the United States and Europe, concerns have been raised about whether preservice and in-service training succeeds in equipping teachers with the professional knowledge they need to deliver consistently high-quality instruction. This article investigates the significance of teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge for high-quality instruction and student progress in secondary-level mathematics. It reports findings from a 1-year study conducted in Germany with a representative sample of Grade 10 classes and their mathematics teachers. Teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge was theoretically and empirically distinguishable from their content knowledge. Multilevel structural equation models revealed a substantial positive effect of pedagogical content knowledge on students’ learning gains that was mediated by the provision of cognitive activation and individual learning support.

description: Cultural specificity is essential to an ethnic group and potentially the nation it belongs to. As a civilization with thousands of years’ history, China is home to an enormous network of diverse, rich culture. Contemporary Chinese society over time, has never been stable, it has frequently been influenced by different sociopolitical and historical aspects in the global culture. China’s tangible or intangible cultural heritage, as a result, is gradually fading away (“Top10: Fading Away”, 2011). Today much of it is being replaced by products of globalization. My research, focusing on the significance of traditional culture of China and the local culture of the Sichuan region, is rooted in an argument put forward by Hall (1996) and referenced in Chiang’s 2010 paper. It states that historical factors such as political movements or economic force heavily impact identity formation, and that people’s identity enables and effects the position they take when they speak (Chiang, 2010, p.39). Drawing on these assertions, my thesis starts from my Chinese and Chinese diaspora identities, and discusses traditional Chinese and Sichuanese cultural heritage in the flow of modernization. Concerned with national and regional identities, my work evolves out of observations of the mundane. The way in which Western perspectives and acts of Modernization have affected, misinterpreted, and changed aspects about the lifestyle of Chinese people since the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is ever present. Part of this work also relates to the Chinese diaspora in North America, a group I geographically belong to. A series of design projects serve as a means to reflect on locality and place, identity, globalization and modernization. Through design acts that preserve, modify, and replace these concerns, I demonstrate means of using visual communication design to reconsider the fading traditional culture in contemporary China, and reflect on the modernization of China.

description: The goal of is to study how increased variability in the degree distribution impacts the global connectivity properties of a large network. We approach this question by modeling the network as a uniform random graph with a given degree sequence. We analyze the effect of the degree variability on the approximate size of the largest connected component using stochastic ordering techniques. A counterexample shows that a higher degree variability may lead to a larger connected component, contrary to basic intuition about branching processes. When certain extremal cases are ruled out, the higher degree variability is shown to decrease the limiting approximate size of the largest connected component.

Time scales of supercooled water and implications for reversible polyamorphism

description: Deeply supercooled water exhibits complex dynamics with large density fluctuations, ice coarsening and characteristic time scales extending from picoseconds to milliseconds. Here, we discuss implications of these time scales as they pertain to two-phase coexistence and to molecular simulations of supercooled water. Specifically, we argue that it is possible to discount liquid-liquid criticality because the time scales imply that correlation lengths for such behavior would be bounded by no more than a few nanometers. Similarly, it is possible to discount two-liquid coexistence because the time scales imply a bounded interfacial free energy that cannot grow in proportion to a macroscopic surface area. From time scales alone, therefore, we see that coexisting domains of differing density in supercooled water can be no more than nano-scale transient fluctuations.

On the geometry and topology of initial data sets with horizons

description: We study the relationship between initial data sets with horizons and the existence of metrics of positive scalar curvature. We define a Cauchy Domain of Outer Communications (CDOC) to be an asymptotically flat initial set $(M, g, K)$ such that the boundary $\partial M$ of $M$ is a collection of Marginally Outer (or Inner) Trapped Surfaces (MOTSs and/or MITSs) and such that $M\setminus \partial M$ contains no MOTSs or MITSs. This definition is meant to capture, on the level of the initial data sets, the well known notion of the domain of outer communications (DOC) as the region of spacetime outside of all the black holes (and white holes). Our main theorem establishes that in dimensions $3\leq n \leq 7$, a CDOC which satisfies the dominant energy condition and has a strictly stable boundary has a positive scalar curvature metric which smoothly compactifies the asymptotically flat end and is a Riemannian product metric near the boundary where the cross sectional metric is conformal to a small perturbation of the initial metric on the boundary $\partial M$ induced by $g$. This result may be viewed as a generalization of Galloway and Schoen's higher dimensional black hole topology theorem \cite{GS06} to the exterior of the horizon. We also show how this result leads to a number of topological restrictions on the CDOC, which allows one to also view this as an extension of the initial data topological censorship theorem, established in \cite{EGP13} in dimension $n=3$, to higher dimensions.
