description: During pregnancy, uterus undergoes the environment adaptation as part of a program of development. In the world, one in four people worldwide suffer from mental illness, especially pregnant women. β-Adrenergic receptor (β-AR) is an important regulator that converts environmental stimuli into intracellular signals in mice uterus. CD-1 (ICR) mice undergone restrain stress, which was a case in model simulate the psychological stress. The plasma and implantation sites in uterus were obtained and examined. PCR analysis demonstrated that β2-AR expression levels in embryo day (E) 3, 5 and 7 were kept at a significantly higher level (P < 0.05) under restraint stress and higher than β1-AR and β3-AR in different pregnancy ages. The β2-AR protein levels were obviously increased (P < 0.05) due to the markedly elevated norepinephrine (NE) concentration (P < 0.05). In our previous study, restraint stress can induce the apoptosis and inflammation. Also, the matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) was decreased significantly (P < 0.05) under restraint stress. Meanwhile, Caspase3, p-NF-κB p65 and p-ERK1/2 were obviously increased (P < 0.05) in the work. In vitro studies showed that the p-ERK1/2 and Caspase-3 levels were raised (P < 0.05) after β2-AR was activated. However, they were decreased when PKA was blocked. The protein level of Caspase-3 was reduced when ERK and NF-κB were blocked (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the β2-AR/cAMP/PKA pathway promoted apoptosis and affected the development of the uterus through the ERK and NF-κB signaling pathway. The findings of this study may provide evidence for female reproduction under psychological stress.

description: This paper is to study some conditions on semigroups, generated by some class of non-densely defined operators in the closure of its domain, in order that certain bounded perturbations preserve some regularity properties of the semigroup such as norm continuity, compactness, differentiability and analyticity. Furthermore, we study the critical and essential growth bound of the semigroup under bounded perturbations. The main results generalize the corresponding results in the case of Hille-Yosida operators. As an illustration, we apply the main results to study the asymptotic behaviors of a class of age-structured population models in $ L^p $ spaces ($ 1 \leq p < \infty $).

title: In vivo assessment of free Achilles tendon morphology and strain estimation during movement

subject: neuromusculoskeletal modelling

description: The mechanical environment of tendons, specifically the Achilles tendon and its strain under load, drives its geometry and material properties adaptation. Strain is reciprocally governed by its geometry and material properties (i.e., structure) in response to the applied mechanical load. Therefore, estimating the tendon's structure and mechanical environment may support the development of novel training paradigms able to target specific Achilles tendon adaptation (e.g., improved material properties, hypertrophy), with applications ranging from rehabilitation through to improved sports performance. How is this to be done? Achilles tendon geometry can be quantified using medical imaging, such as 2D and 3D ultrasound, and when combined with biomechanical measurement systems, such as dynamometry, Achilles tendon mechanical properties and strain can be estimated. However, ultrasound methods are limited when attempting to measure free Achilles tendon strain during dynamic motor tasks, e.g., rehabilitation tasks, locomotor, jumping, and landing. Specifically, 2D ultrasound suffers from measurement errors arising from motion artefacts and changes in muscle-tendon junction shape during locomotion, while freehand 3D ultrasound is limited to quasi-static tasks. Alternatively, Achilles tendon loading and strain during dynamic tasks can be investigated using neuromusculoskeletal modelling, which combines biophysical and phenomenological models of the human neuromusculoskeletal system. However, understanding how to best measure in vivo Achilles tendon geometry and material properties is pivotal to personalise neuromusculoskeletal models and enable physiologically plausible estimations of Achilles tendon strains. Subsequently, the general aims of this thesis were to develop medical imaging methods to quantify Achilles tendon 3D geometry, material, and mechanical properties to create personalised Achilles tendon models, which could next be incorporated into neuromusculoskeletal models to assess Achilles tendon loading and strain in a range of dynamic tasks. To achieve this goal, the thesis was developed via three main studies. [...]

description: Carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted significant attention due to their unique optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. In recent years, a large number of carbon-based nanomaterials have been investigated including carbon nanotubes, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), graphene, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanodots (CNDs), heteroatom-doped carbon, and carbon-based materials obtained from biomass etc. The unique and superior properties of such carbon-based materials make them useful for a wide range of applications in the fields such as environmental remediation and energy conversions. Although significant progress has been made over the past decade or so, few drawbacks of carbon-based materials still remain unresolved. For example, as a photocatalyst, the weak van der Waals interactions between adjacent conjugated planes of g-C3N4 and poor electronic properties affect negatively on the photocatalytic activity. Despite a variety of synthetic methods have been investigated, to fabricate undoped and doped carbon-based materials, the efficiency and level of control on the resultant products are far from satisfactory. Majority of these approaches either involve tedious and complex experimental procedures or require using harsh reaction conditions, or possessing low yield production. Furthermore, to achieve heteroatom-doped carbon-based materials, the reported approaches almost exclusively require the use of synthetic chemicals as carbon and heteroatom sources, respectively. The large-scale application of fuel cells and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using Pt-based catalysts is hindered by the inherent disadvantages of Pt such as high cost, scarcity and low resistance to crossover effect of methanol molecule. It is therefore highly desirable to realize heteroatom doping by simple, low-cost, high yield and environmentally benign synthesis methods for fabrication of commercially viable carbon-based materials for applications in solar cells and fuel cells.

description: The sources discovered in deep hard X-ray surveys with 2-8 keV fluxes of 10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1 make up the bulk of the X-ray background at these energies. We present here detailed multi-wavelength observations of three such sources from the ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey. The observations include sensitive near-infrared spectroscopy with the Subaru Telescope and X-ray spectral information from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The sources observed all have optical-to-near-IR colours redder than an unobscured quasar and comprise a reddened quasar, a radio galaxy and an optically-obscured AGN. The reddened quasar is at a redshift z=2.61 and shows a very large X-ray absorbing column of N_H approx 3.10^23 cm^-2. This contrasts with the relatively small amount of dust reddening, implying a gas-to-dust ratio along the line-of-sight a hundred times greater than that of the Milky Way. The radio galaxy at z=1.57 shows only narrow emission lines, but has a surprisingly soft X-ray spectrum. The softness of this spectrum either indicates an unusually low gas-to-dust ratio for the absorbing medium or X-ray emission related to the young radio source. The host galaxy is extremely red (R-K=6.4) and its optical/near-IR spectrum is best fit by a strongly reddened (A_V~2) starburst. The third X-ray source discussed is also extremely red (R-K=6.1) and lies in a close grouping of three other R-K>6 galaxies. No emission or absorption lines were detected from this object, but its redshift (and that of one of the nearby galaxies) are constrained by SED-fitting to be just greater than z=1. The extremely red colours of these two galaxies can be accounted for by old stellar populations. These observations illustrate the diverse properties of hard X-ray selected AGN.

title: How can the material requirements of stop-motion puppet animation production be balanced with the affordances of digital effects and processes in order to best exploit the unique attributes of the technique?

subject: appeal

description: Despite the increasingly digital domain of contemporary animation, stop-motion appears to remain a popular subset of animation. This research project attempts to account for its continued appeal by examining its unique features. I assert that many current big budget stop-motion features utilise digital technology for seamless high production values at the expense of stop-motion’s particular charm and idiosyncrasies. I propose that a balance can be struck whereby the craft and artistry of traditional stopmotion— its emphasis on materials and tactility, on real-world space and lighting, and on signature performances—can be enhanced rather than compromised by digital processes. Central to this investigation is the production of an eleven-minute stop-motion animated film, Peeping Winkle that attempts to balance traditional and digital methods. This exegetical paper provides context for the Peeping Winkle project, an account of its production, and a reflection on its achievements in the light of the research question: How can the material requirements of stop-motion puppet animation production be balanced with the affordances of digital effects and processes in order to best exploit the unique attributes of the technique? A key innovation of the Peeping Winkle project is a hybrid puppet head design that draws on the respective advantages of traditional elements of plasticine and internal armature-controlled components and the digitally facilitated techniques of 3D face replacements and animated eye composites. This exegetical account of the Peeping Winkle project details the ways in which a balance has been sought between the appeal of traditional stop-motion animation and the aesthetic and procedural affordances of digital technology. New methods are indicated in synthesising the material considerations of fabrication and a traditional straight-ahead approach to animation with the advantages of pre-determined lip sync and secondary digital processes.

description: Gravitational wave predicted by General Relativity is the transverse wave of spatial strain. Several gravitational waveform signals from binary black holes and from a binary neutron star system accompanied by electromagnetic counterparts have been recorded by advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo. In analogy to light, the spatial fringes of diffraction and interference should also exist as the important features of gravitational waves. We propose that observational detection of such fringes could be achieved through gravitational lensing of continuous gravitational waves. The lenses would play the role of the diffraction barriers. Considering peculiar motions of the observer, the lens and the source, the spatial amplitude variation of diffraction or interference fringes should be detectable as an amplitude modulation of monochromatic gravitational signal.

description: The unresolved nuclear region of M87 emits strong non-thermal emission from radio to X-rays. Assuming this emission to originate in the pc scale jet aligned at $θ\sim 30^\circ$ to the line of sight, we interpret this emission in the context of the Synchrotron Proton Blazar (SPB) model. We find the observed nuclear jet emission to be consistent with M87 being a mis-aligned BL Lac Object and predict gamma-ray emission extending up to at least 100 GeV at a level easily detectable by GLAST and MAGIC, and possibly by VERITAS depending on whether it is high-frequency or low-frequency peaked. Predicted neutrino emission is below the sensitivity of existing and planned neutrino telescopes. Ultra-high energy neutrons produced in pion photoproduction interactions decay into protons after escaping from the host galaxy. Because energetic protons are deflected by the intergalactic magnetic field, the protons from the decay of neutrons emitted in all directions, including along the jet axis where the Doppler factor and hence emitted neutron energies are higher, can contribute to the observed ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We consider the propagation of these cosmic ray protons to Earth and conclude that M87 could account for the observed flux if the extragalactic magnetic field topology were favourable.

description: A properly strained graphene monolayer or bilayer is expected to harbour periodic pseudo-magnetic fields with high symmetry, yet to date, a convincing demonstration of such pseudo-magnetic fields has been lacking, especially for bilayer graphene. Here, we report the first definitive experimental proof for the existence of large-area, periodic pseudo-magnetic fields, as manifested by vortex lattices in commensurability with the moiré patterns of low-angle twisted bilayer graphene. The pseudo-magnetic fields are strong enough to confine the massive Dirac electrons into circularly localized pseudo-Landau levels, as observed by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, and also corroborated by tight-binding calculations. We further demonstrate that the geometry, amplitude, and periodicity of the pseudo-magnetic field can be fine-tuned by both the rotation angle and heterostrain applied to the system. Collectively, the present study substantially enriches twisted bilayer graphene as a powerful enabling platform for exploration of new and exotic physical phenomena, including quantum valley Hall effects and quantum anomalous Hall effects.

description: With the rapid advent of biomedical and biotechnological innovations, a deep understanding of the nature of interaction between nanomaterials and cell membranes, tissues, and organs, has become increasingly important. Active penetration of nanoparticles through cell membranes is a fascinating phenomenon that may have important implications in various biomedical and clinical applications. Using a fully analytical theory supplemented by particle-based computer simulations, the penetration process of an active particle through a planar two-dimensional elastic membrane is studied. The membrane is modeled as a self-assembled sheet of particles, uniformly arranged on a square lattice. A coarse-grained model is introduced to describe the mutual interactions between the membrane particles. The active penetrating particle is assumed to interact sterically with the membrane particles. State diagrams are presented to fully characterize the system behavior as functions of the relevant control parameters governing the transition between different dynamical states. Three distinct scenarios are identified. These compromise trapping of the active particle, penetration through the membrane with subsequent self-healing, in addition to penetration with permanent disruption of the membrane. The latter scenario is accompanied by a partial fragmentation of the membrane and creation of a hole of a size exceeding the interaction range of the membrane components. Our analytical theory is based on a combination of a perturbative expansion technique and a discrete-to-continuum formulation. Our approach might be helpful for the prediction of the transition threshold between the trapping and penetration in real-space experiments involving motile swimming bacteria or artificial active particles.

description: Inositols, a group of 6-carbon polyols, are highly bioactive molecules derived from diet and endogenous synthesis. Inositols and their derivatives are involved in glucose and lipid metabolism and participate in insulin-signaling, with perturbations in inositol processing being associated with conditions involving insulin resistance, dysglycemia and dyslipidemia such as polycystic ovary syndrome and diabetes. Pregnancy is similarly characterized by substantial and complex changes in glycemic and lipidomic regulation as part of maternal adaptation and is also associated with physiological alterations in inositol processing. Disruptions in maternal adaptation are postulated to have a critical pathophysiological role in pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. Inositol supplementation has shown promise as an intervention for the alleviation of symptoms in conditions of insulin resistance and for gestational diabetes prevention. However, the mechanisms behind these affects are not fully understood. In this review, we explore the role of inositols in conditions of insulin dysregulation and in pregnancy, and identify priority areas for research. We particularly examine the role and function of inositols within the maternal-placental-fetal axis in both uncomplicated and pathological pregnancies. We also discuss how inositols may mediate maternal-placental-fetal cross-talk, and regulate fetal growth and development, and suggest that inositols play a vital role in promoting healthy pregnancy.

description: The segmentation of moving objects with unknown motion under a non-stationary camera is a difficult problem because the camera and object motions are disparate. In addition, the uncertain motion of typical surveillance targets, e.g. slow moving or stopped, abrupt acceleration, and uniform motion makes a single salient motion detection algorithm unsuitable for accurate tracking. This thesis solved this problem by blending the information from the image registration, the frame differences, motion-based segmentation and the spatial segmentation in a non-declarative approach. The image registration is used to generate a motion compensated current frame. Next, temporal differencing and adaptive Kalman filter motion detections are applied to detect the changes in the compensated frames. Finally, detected changes from two motion detection algorithms and the spatial segmentation are combined to identify the moving regions. Experimental results comparing the proposed and other competing methods are evaluated objectively in various accuracy metrics and show that the proposed method achieves promising motion results for a variety of real environments.

The interaction in momentum space has a negative minimum at $q_c$ inversely proportional to the characteristic length-scale in real space, the soft-core radius $r_c$. We show theoretically that single-component (spinless) Rydberg-dressed Fermi gas in two dimensions has a rich phase diagram with novel superfluid and density wave orders due to the interplay of the Fermi momentum $p_F$, interaction range $r_c$, and interaction strength $u_0$. For repulsive bare interactions $u_0>0$, the dominant instability is $f$-wave superfluid for $p_Fr_c\lesssim 2$, and density wave for $p_Fr_c\gtrsim 4$. The $f$-wave pairing in this repulsive Fermi gas is reminiscent of the conventional Kohn-Luttinger mechanism, but has a much higher $T_c$. For attractive bare interactions $u_0<0$, the leading instability is $p$-wave pairing. The phase diagram is obtained from functional renormalization group that treats all competing many-body instabilities in the particle-particle and particle-hole channels on equal footing.

description: We study heating rates in strongly interacting quantum lattice systems in the thermodynamic limit. Using a numerical linked cluster expansion, we calculate the energy as a function of the driving time and find a robust exponential regime. The heating rates are shown to be in excellent agreement with Fermi's golden rule. We discuss the relationship between heating rates and, within the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, the smooth function that characterizes the off-diagonal matrix elements of the drive operator in the eigenbasis of the static Hamiltonian. We show that such a function, in nonintegrable and (remarkably) integrable Hamiltonians, can be probed experimentally by studying heating rates as functions of the drive frequency.

X-ray properties of 4U 1543-624

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: 4U 1543-624 is a relatively bright persistent low-mass X-ray binary. Analysis of archival data from ASCA, SAX and RXTE is presented. The X-ray continuum be can modeled with the standard low-mass X-ray binary spectrum, an isothermal blackbody and a Comptonized component. Variations in the luminosity and flux ratio of the continuum components are seen. An increase in luminosity is accompanied by a decrease in the blackbody luminosity and a hardening of the spectrum. Most low-mass X-ray binaries have softer spectra and higher blackbody luminosities in high luminosity states. The Fe K-alpha line is seen only in the high luminosity spectra. A narrow feature near 0.7 keV, previously detected in the ASCA data, is also seen in the SAX data. A qualitative model of the system is presented. The X-ray observations can be explained by a low inclination system (face-on disk) containing a slowly (P >> ms) rotating neutron star. A slowly rotating neutron star would imply either that the system is a young low-mass X-ray binary, or that the accretion rate is unusually low. The empirical relation between optical and X-ray luminosity and orbital period suggests a relatively short period.

description: We explore the challenging but phenomenologically interesting hierarchical mass spectrum of the Inert Doublet Model where relatively light dark matter along with much heavier scalar states can fully satisfy the constraints on the relic abundance and also fulfill other theoretical as well as collider and astrophysical bounds. To probe this region of parameter space at the LHC, we propose a signal process that combines up to two large radius boosted jets along with substantial missing transverse momentum. Aided by our intuitive signal selection, we capture a hybrid process where the di-fatjet signal is significantly enhanced by the mono-fatjet contribution with minimal effects on the SM di-fatjet background. Substantiated by the sizable mass difference between the scalars, these boosted jets, originally produced from the hadronic decay of massive vector bosons, still carry the inherent footprint of their root. These features implanted inside the jet substructure can provide additional handles to deal with a large background involving QCD jets. We adopt a multivariate analysis using boosted decision tree to provide a robust mechanism to explore the hierarchical scenario, which would bring almost the entire available parameter space well within reach of the 14 TeV LHC runs with high luminosity.

description: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term describing a range of impairments following prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Difficulties with executive functioning (EF) are among the most common impairments in the condition. While research has traditionally focused on describing FASD, recently attention has turned to evaluating interventions. Two existing reviews suggest that there is promise with a range of approaches, although there is considerable variability noted in outcome measures and populations. The emerging problems associated with exposure to extensive adversity in early life has also been identified in this vulnerable population of children and young people. In the light of these concurrent foci, this thesis begins with a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions published across academic and grey literature that aimed to improve executive functioning in children aged 3-16 years (Study 1). A comprehensive search yielding 8,638 records resulted in identification of 11 eligible studies with results synthesised across 253 participants. Results showed no significant impact of intervention across all but one outcome measure: response inhibition. These findings need to be interpreted with caution as there were significant limitations with the published work. Nonetheless, the corpus of work to date suggests that interventions may need to move beyond a focus on supporting the development of EFs. Further consideration needs to be given to other co-occurring factors in children with FASD that may either limit or negate current approaches for supporting the development of EFs.
A Spectrophotometric Method to Determine the Inclination of Class I Objects

description: A new method which enables us to estimate the inclination of Class I young stellar objects is proposed. Since Class I objects are not spherically symmetric, it is likely that the observed feature is sensitive to the inclination of the system. Thus, we construct a protostar model by carefully treating two-dimensional (2D) radiative transfer and radiative equilibrium. We show from the present 2D numerical simulations that the emergent luminosity L_SED,which is the frequency integration of spectral energy distribution (SED), depends strongly on the inclination of the system i, whereas the peak flux is insensitive to i. Based on this result, we introduce a novel indicator f_L, which is the ratio of L_SED to the peak flux, as a good measure for the inclination. By using f_L, we can determine the inclination regardless of the other physical parameters. The inclination would be determined by f_L within the accuracy of +- 5 degree, if the opening angle of bipolar outflows is specified by any other procedure. Since this spectrophotometric method is easier than a geometrical method or a full SED fitting method, this method could be a powerful tool to investigate the feature of protostars statistically with observational data which will be provided by future missions, such as SIRTF, ASTRO-F, and ALMA.

description: Within a holographic model, we calculate the time evolution of 2-point and 1-point correlation functions (of selected operators) within a charged strongly coupled system of many particles. That system is thermalizing from an anisotropic initial charged state far from equilibrium towards equilibrium while subjected to a constant external magnetic field. One main result is that thermalization times for 2-point functions are significantly (approximately three times) larger than those of 1-point functions. Magnetic field and charge amplify this difference, generally increasing thermalization times. However, there is also a competition of scales between charge density, magnetic field, and initial anisotropy, which leads to an array of qualitative changes on the 2- and 1-point functions. There appears to be a strong effect of the medium on 2-point functions at early times, but approximately none at later times. At strong magnetic fields, an apparently universal thermalization time emerges, at which all 2-point functions appear to thermalize regardless of any other scale in the system. Hence, this time scale is referred to as saturation time scale. As extremality is approached in the purely charged case, 2- and 1-point functions appear to equilibrate at infinitely late time. We also compute 2-point functions of charged operators. Our results can be taken to model thermalization in heavy ion collisions, or thermalization in selected condensed matter systems.

description: A Cherenkov imaging camera for the CANGAROO-III experiment has been developed for observations of gamma-ray induced air-showers at energies from 10$^{11}$ to 10$^{14}$ eV. The camera consists of 427 pixels, arranged in a hexagonal shape at 0.17$^\circ$ intervals, each of which is a 3/4-inch diameter photomultiplier module with a Winston-cone--shaped light guide. The camera was designed to have a large dynamic range of signal linearity, a wider field of view, and an improvement in photon collection efficiency compared with the CANGAROO-II camera. The camera, and a number of the calibration experiments made to test its performance, are described in detail in this paper.

New Mass Estimators for Tracer Populations

description: We introduce the tracer mass estimator. This is a new and simple way to estimate the enclosed mass from the projected positions and line of sight velocities of a tracer population (such as globular clusters, halo stars and planetary nebulae). Like the projected mass estimator, it works by averaging (projected distance) x (radial velocity squared)/ G over the sample. However, it applies to the commonest case of all, when the tracer population does not follow the overall dark matter density. The method is verified against simulated datasets drawn from Monte Carlo realisations of exact solutions of the collisionless Boltzmann equation and applied to the recent M31 globular cluster data set of Perrett et al. (2002), as well as to M31's satellite galaxies.

description: Let $K$ be the K3 manifold. In this note, we discuss two methods to prove that certain generalized Miller--Morita--Mumford classes for smooth bundles with fiber $K$ are non-zero. As a consequence, we fill a gap in a paper of the first author, and prove that the homomorphism $Diff(K)\to π_0 Diff(K)$ does not split. One of the two methods of proof uses a result of Franke on the stable cohomology of arithmetic groups that strengthens work of Borel, and may be of independent interest.
