description: This dissertation examines the political participation of women in the struggle for housing in Costa Rica. The causes, consequences, and implications of that participation are analyzed at four different levels: the women's personal and family lives; the social movement organization in which they participate; the layout and structure of social relations of the new communities that have been built; and the government's housing policy. The methodological strategy to accomplish this research was based on the main postulates of the feminist and qualitative approach to social research. Thus, it included a purposive non-probability sampling method and a qualitative method of data collection whose main components were participant observation, in-depth interviewing, group interviewing, and analysis of documents. This study shows how the social relations of reproduction, centered on the home, and poor women's struggle for survival created the foundations for the development of the Costa Rican housing movement. As part of the new social movements that emerged in Latin America during the 1970's and 1980's, the housing movement was born as a response by the social actors, primarily poor women, to the lack of political effectiveness demonstrated by traditional organizations to address and struggle for issues of daily subsistence and collective consumption. The housing movement in turn became an important builder of women as new political subjects with new social identities, goals, and aspirations. The movement has also served as an effective means for women to connect their everyday problems with politics and State policy. That is, by consciously engaging in collective action aimed at improving their everyday life, the women constituents of the housing movement "politicized" the private domain and made their needs heard in the public sphere. Thus, the movement has had a strong impact on the country's social struggles by incorporating new social subjects into the political arena, on the government's housing policy, and on the women constituents, who have been radically changed by their political involvement.
Comment on "Negative heat capacities and first order phase transitions in nuclei" by L.G. Moretto et al

description: In a recent paper L.G. Moretto et al [nucl-th/0208024] claim that the negative heat capacities presented in our previously published paper \cite{PRL2000} are "artifacts" coming from the use of periodic boundary conditions in the Lattice-Gas calculations. We stress in this comment that this claim is wrong: in ref. \cite{PRL2000} we did not use periodic boundary conditions and anyhow the boundary conditions are irrelevant for the statistical ensemble used in \cite{PRL2000}. The second claim of [nucl-th/0208024] is that, because of the Coulomb repulsion, systems "with A>60 should present no anomalous negative heat capacities". We show that this conclusion is contradicted by exact Lattice-gas simulations including Coulomb forces which present negative heat capacities even for A>200.

description: The nucleocapsid (N) protein from Peste des petits ruminants virus enwraps the nascent genomic RNA primarily to protect it from cellular enzymatic degradation. Here, we have combined molecular modeling and 1 μs long Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulations to study the structural and conformational properties of the apo N-protein and three protein-RNA complexes, namely wild type (WT), MT1 (I46T/E297D/G342E), and MT2 (I46T/E297D/G342E/W333G). The root-mean-squared deviation (RMSD) analysis reveals that although MT2 deviates most significantly from the initial structure, the RNA binding region is more stable compared to WT or MT1. Further, the flexible nature of the N protein is revealed from the principal component analysis. Our study shows that the solvent accessible surface area of the binding region increases drastically for both mutant complexes compared to WT. The dynamic cross-correlation analysis suggests that the overall anticorrelated motion weakens after the RNA binding. MT2 displays a relatively larger positive correlation than WT or MT1. The binding free energy is estimated for all three complexes via the molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface (MM/GBSA) scheme, and it decreases in the order WT > MT1 > MT2. In all cases, the protein-RNA binding is mainly driven by the van der Waals interactions since the intermolecular electrostatic interaction is overcompensated by desolvation energy. All hotspot residues are identified from the per-residue decomposition of the total binding free energy. In MT2, RNA contributes most favorably compared to WT or MT1. We believe our study will help in understanding the mechanism of RNA recognition by N proteins. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: In understanding the world of matter, the introduction of symmetry principles following experimentation or using the predictive power of symmetry principles to guide experimentation is most profound. The conservation of energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, charge, and CPT involve fundamental symmetries. All other conservation laws are valid within a restricted subspace of the four interactions: the strong, the electromagnetic, the weak, and the gravitational interaction. In this paper comments are made regarding parity violation in hadronic systems, charge symmetry breaking in two nucleon and few nucleon systems, and time-reversal-invariance in hadronic systems.

description: We construct a "higher dimensional" version 2V of Thompson's group V. Like V it is an infinite, finitely presented, simple subgroup of the homeomorphism group of the Cantor set, but we show that it is not isomorphic to V by showing that the actions on the Cantor set are not topologically conjugate: 2V has an element with "chaotic" action, while V cannot have such an element. A theorem of Rubin is then applied which shows that for these two groups, isomorphism would imply topological conjugacy.

Nonlinear alternating current responses of dipolar fluids

description: The frequency-dependent nonlinear dielectric increment of dipolar fluids in nonpolar fluids is often measured by using a stationary relaxation method in which two electric fields are used: The static direct current (DC) field of high strength causing the dielectric nonlinearity, and the probing alternating current (AC) field of low strength and high frequency. When a nonlinear composite is subjected to a sinusoidal electric field, the electric response in the composite will, in general, consist of AC fields at frequencies of higher-order harmonics. Based on the Froehlich model, we present a theory to investigate nonlinear AC responses of dipolar fluids containing both polarizable monomers and dimers. In the case of monomers only, our theory reproduces the known results. We obtain the fundamental, second-, and third-order harmonics of the Froehlich field by performing a perturbation expansion. The even-order harmonics are induced by the coupling between the AC and DC fields although the system under consideration has a cubic nonlinearity only. The harmonics of the Froehlich field can be affected by the field frequency, temperature, dispersion strength and the characteristic frequency of the dipolar fluid, as well as the dielectric constant of the nonpolar fluid. The results are found to be in agreement with recent experimental observations.
A case of philosophical amnesia: Russell, Wittgenstein and a forgotten manuscript

description: This dissertation analyzes Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge, published in 1984 by George Allen and Unwin, Volume 7 in The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell. This manuscript by Russell is a major work by one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy, offering arguments on several topics that are crucial contributions to outstanding issues in epistemology and logic. It fills in several curious and large gaps in our understanding of the development of Russell's philosophical progress from 1912 through 1918. In addition, it provides an indispensable context for understanding the development of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The dissertation explores several related topics, including the development and later publication of Theory of Knowledge, the content of the book, the place of Russell's manuscript in the development of his thought, the influence of Theory of Knowledge on Wittgenstein's Tractatus, the joint collaboration in 1913 between Russell and Wittgenstein, and the significance of the 1913 manuscript in the history of philosophy.

description: We investigate the accuracy of several schemes to calculate ground-state correlation energies using the generator coordinate technique. Our test-bed for the study is the $sd$ interacting boson model, equivalent to a 6-level Lipkin-type model. We find that the simplified projection of a triaxial generator coordinate state using the $S_3$ subgroup of the rotation group is not very accurate in the parameter space of the Hamiltonian of interest. On the other hand, a full rotational projection of an axial generator coordinate state gives remarkable accuracy. We also discuss the validity of the simplified treatment using the extended Gaussian overlap approximation (top-GOA), and show that it works reasonably well when the number of boson is four or larger.

description: The human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) is one of the most common causes of acute respiratory diseases such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children worldwide. Among the viral proteins, the nucleoprotein (N) stands out for forming the nucleocapsid (NC) that functions as a template for replication and transcription by the viral polymerase complex. The NC/polymerase recognition is mediated by the phosphoprotein (P), which establishes an interaction of its C-terminal residues with a hydrophobic pocket in the N-terminal domain of N (N-NTD). The present study consists of biophysical characterization of N-NTD and investigation of flavonoids binding to this domain using experimental and computational approaches. Saturation transfer difference (STD)-NMR measurements showed that among the investigated flavonoids, only hesperetin (Hst) bound to N-NTD. The binding epitope mapping of Hst suggested that its fused aromatic ring is buried in the protein binding site. STD-NMR and fluorescence anisotropy experiments showed that Hst competes with P protein C-terminal dipeptides for the hRSV nucleoprotein/phosphoprotein (N/P) interaction site in N-NTD, indicating that Hst binds to the hydrophobic pocket in this domain. Computational simulations of molecular docking and dynamics corroborated with experimental results, presenting that Hst established a stable interaction with the N/P binding site. The outcomes presented herein shed light on literature reports that described a significant antireplicative activity of Hst against hRSV, revealing molecular details that can provide the development of a new strategy against this virus.

description: Quantum continuous variables are being explored as an alternative means to implement quantum key distribution, which is usually based on single photon counting. The former approach is potentially advantageous because it should enable higher key distribution rates. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a quantum key distribution protocol based on the transmission of gaussian-modulated coherent states (consisting of laser pulses containing a few hundred photons) and shot-noise-limited homodyne detection; squeezed or entangled beams are not required. Complete secret key extraction is achieved using a reverse reconciliation technique followed by privacy amplification. The reverse reconciliation technique is in principle secure for any value of the line transmission, against gaussian individual attacks based on entanglement and quantum memories. Our table-top experiment yields a net key transmission rate of about 1.7 megabits per second for a loss-free line, and 75 kilobits per second for a line with losses of 3.1 dB. We anticipate that the scheme should remain effective for lines with higher losses, particularly because the present limitations are essentially technical, so that significant margin for improvement is available on both the hardware and software.

Outbursts of Young Stellar Objects

description: We argue that the outbursts of the FU Orionis stars occur on timescales which are much longer than expected from the standard disc instability model with α_{c} \gtrsim 10^{-3}. The outburst, recurrence, and rise times are consistent with the idea that the accretion disc in these objects is truncated at a radius R_{i} \sim 40 \rsun. In agreement with a number of previous authors we suggest that the inner regions of the accretion discs in FU Ori objects are evacuated by the action of a magnetic propeller anchored on the central star. We develop an analytic solution for the steady state structure of an accretion disc in the presence of a central magnetic torque, and present numerical calculations to follow its time evolution. These calculations confirm that a recurrence time that is consistent with observations can be obtained by selecting appropriate values for viscosity and magnetic field strength.

description: We introduce a general class of toric gravitational instantons in $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity, namely Euclidean supersymmetric solutions with $U(1)^2$ isometry. Such solutions are specified by a "supergravity labelled polytope", where the labels encode the 4-manifold topology, the choice of magnetic fluxes, and certain signs associated to the Killing spinor. Equivariant localization then allows us to write down the gravitational free energy for such a solution, assuming it exists, and study its properties. These results open the way for a systematic study of holography in this setting, where the dual large $N$ field theories are defined on the boundary 3-manifolds, which are (squashed) lens spaces $L(p,q)$ or generalizations with orbifold singularities.

description: Nations have increasingly had to decide whether to take action on international environmental issues. How do these nations decide whether to take action on these international environmental issues? Further, how do they decide what level of action to take? What influences a country to decide either to support action to study the issue further, reduce emissions, or go to the full step of phasing out those emissions causing the environmental effect? This study tries to take the initial step of answering these questions. In attempting to answer these questions, this study focused on how the 24 industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) made decisions on the following major international environmental issues of the 1990s: stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, greenhouse warming, and transboundary movement of hazardous waste. Multiple regression analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. The results of this analysis indicate that the level to which a nation agrees to cooperate on an international issue depends on many factors: the scientific consensus as to the establishment of a cause/effect relationship between anthropogenic emissions and an environmental effect; the scientific assessment of the cost of mitigating emissions; the vulnerability of a nation to the environmental effect; the number of countries involved in the negotiations; the leadership of the United States and European Community; the presence of past agreements in subject area; the flexibility of agreement; the overall economic conditions of country; and the activity of a country's industry and environmental interest groups. As measured by the independent variables used in this analysis, scientific knowledge appears to have the greatest influence on the level of agreement on an environmental issue. Agreement characteristics and international politics are well behind scientific knowledge. National politics is last. The results of this analysis have major implications for theories of international environmental decisionmaking and for the practical implementation of action on those issues. Although the research, of course, has its limitations, it offers new insights into theoretical venues, opens up new research areas, and provides advice to those who actively work either to support or prevent agreement on these issues.

description: We wanted to investigate if the presence of a waste-tracking “game, titled the Bin-Fun Game, influenced the sorting behavior of people throwing out waste at the AMS Nest’s waste-sorting stations. We believed that the presence of the Bin-Fun Game might increase a person’s awareness of the act of sorting their waste, and could lead to more accurate sorting, therefore reducing contamination of improperly sorted items. Our study participants consisted of all staff, student, faculty, and visitors who frequented the AMS Nest. It was conducted over a 5 day baseline condition and an 8 day intervention condition using an experimental bin where the game was set up that was measured against a control bin with no game. We measured the contaminants (i.e. incorrectly sorted waste) of both bins as well as the weight, and used a 2-by-2 ANOVA between subjects design to test our results. However, we did not find results to support any of our hypothesis. This leads us to believe that there may be other, more effective ways to encourage better sorting behavior among frequenters of the Nest.

description: Background: Oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) is a relatively new tool in the armament of cancer treatmentchoices. One of the vectors used is the adenovirus (AdV); it has been well-studied in OVT. Through genetic modification, AdVs are adept at targeting tumor cells, causing tumor cell death. These cells then release cytokines that recruit immune cells and amplify the immune response to cancer while continuing to infect adjacent tumor cells due to innate properties of viral replication that are also enhanced by genetic modification. It has also been found that the use of AdV OVT can be used in conjunction with other anti-cancer therapies without added toxicities. In our scoping review, we aim to collect the global literature on adenoviral OVT in the treatment of primary brain cancer  a type of solid cancer - and synthesize the key qualitative and quantitative findings from the included articles.Objectives: This scoping review study aims to identify the types of brain tumors that are being treated with adenoviral oncolytic viral therapy (OVT) as well as the corresponding quantitative and qualitative patient outcomes determined by the included articles. We also hope to identify any gaps in the literature including a lack of research in certain populations, for example.Methods: We will be following the PRISMA-Scr guidelines proposed by Arksey and OMalley to adapt the PRISMA systematic review guidelines to our broader research question.Amendments: Any relevant protocol changes will be documented with date, description, and reasoning forchange as needed throughout the study.

In attempting to answer these questions, this study focused on how the 24 industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) made decisions on the following major international environmental issues of the 1990s: stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, greenhouse warming, and transboundary movement of hazardous waste. Multiple regression analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. The results of this analysis indicate that the level to which a nation agrees to cooperate on an international issue depends on many factors: the scientific consensus as to the establishment of a cause/effect relationship between anthropogenic emissions and an environmental effect; the scientific assessment of the cost of mitigating emissions; the vulnerability of a nation to the environmental effect; the number of countries involved in the negotiations; the leadership of the United States and European Community; the presence of past agreements in subject area; the flexibility of agreement; the overall economic conditions of country; and the activity of a country's industry and environmental interest groups. As measured by the independent variables used in this analysis, scientific knowledge appears to have the greatest influence on the level of agreement on an environmental issue. Agreement characteristics and international politics are well behind scientific knowledge. National politics is last. The results of this analysis have major implications for theories of international environmental decisionmaking and for the practical implementation of action on those issues. Although the research, of course, has its limitations, it offers new insights into theoretical venues, opens up new research areas, and provides advice to those who actively work either to support or prevent agreement on these issues.

description: We present an analysis of the $e^+ e^- \to γ^* \to J/ψ\, π\, π\, (K \bar{K})$ and $e^+ e^- \to γ^* \to h_c \, π\, π$ processes employing the recently proposed Dalitz-plot decomposition approach, which is based on the helicity formalism for three-body decays. For the above reactions, we validate the factorization of the overall rotation for all decay chains and spin alignments, along with the crossing symmetry between final states, using a Lagrangian-based toy model. For the model-dependent factors that describe the subchannel dynamics, we employ the dispersive treatment of the $π\, π\, (K \bar{K})$ final state interaction, which accurately reproduces pole positions and couplings of the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances. The constructed amplitudes serve as an essential framework to further constrain the properties of the charged exotic states $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$, produced in these reactions.

description: We show that stochastic processes with linear conditional expectations and quadratic conditional variances are Markov, and their transition probabilities are related to a three-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials which generalize the Meixner polynomials. Special cases of these processes are known to arise from the non-commutative generalizations of the Levy processes.

On the linear term in the nuclear symmetry energy

description: The nuclear symmetry energy calculated in the RPA from the pairing plus symmetry force Hamiltonian with equidistant single-nucleon levels is for mass number A=48 approximately proportional to T(T+1.025), where T is the isospin quantum number. An isovector character of the pair field assumed to produce the observed odd-even mass staggering is essential for this result. The RPA contribution to the symmetry energy cannot be simulated by adding to the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov energy a term proportional to the isospin variance in the Bogolyubov quasiparticle vacuum, and there are significant corrections to the approximation which consist in adding half the isocranking angular velocity. The present calculation employs a smaller single-nucleon level spacing than used in a previous investigation of the model.

title: Functional repair of the corticospinal tract by delayed transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells in adult rats
Creators: name: Keyvan-Fouladi, Naghmeh
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: Adult rats were trained to use their forepaws to retrieve a piece of food through a slit in the front of the cage. The dorsal corticospinal tract was then partially or totally destroyed on one side by a small focal stereotaxic radio-frequency lesion at the level of the first or second cervical segment. Complete destruction of one side of the corticospinal tract completely abolished the use of the ipsilateral forepaw for retrieval for at least 6 months after the operation. The group of rats with the smaller lesions (destroying up to 60% of the tract) the ipsilateral forepaw was used from the first time tested, but at a reduced level, which increased progressively and reached close to normal levels by 8 weeks. The rats with the larger lesions (destroying 60% or more of the tract) did not start retrieval until the second post-operative week, and were still severely impaired at 8 weeks. The corticospinal tract is capable of transferring functions to even very small numbers of surviving fibres (1% axons), which presumably did not carry this function before the lesion. It was indicated that the total number of retrievals by the ipsilateral forepaw showed a highly significant correlation (r=0.95) with the percentage of surviving axons.
 The effect of directed forepaw retrieval recovery due to transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells were examined. In lesioned rats, which had shown no retrieval for 8 weeks after operation, a suspension of olfactory ensheathing cells was stereotaxically injected into the lesion site. From between 1 to 3 weeks after transplantation, the rats started to use the forepaw of the transplanted side, initially, at a lower rate compared with the normal side, but progressively increasing vdth time. The transplanted rats showed 40% directed forepaw retrieval recovery. Anterograde tracing (Biotin dextran) showed regenerating corticospinal axons crossing the lesion area, travelling caudally in the distal part of the corticospinal tract, and forming terminal arborisations in the spinal grey matter.
 A control group of rats with injection of olfactory ensheathing cell conditioned- medium and misplaced olfactory ensheathing cell transplants showed no functional recovery during the 8 weeks of training. Experimental results suggest that the transplanted cells must be placed in direct contact with the tract to form a bridge across the lesion.
 These results indicate that the regenerated corticospinal tract axons induced by delayed transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells provides a quantitatively limited (approximately around-1% regenerating fibres) but rapidly conducting new pathway across the lesioned site.
The role of executive function, learning disabilities risk, and IQ in preschool misconduct

description: The present study was designed to examine relationships between conduct problems and various aspects of young children's executive functioning and learning. Early difficulties in these areas may affect children's later school achievement, social adjustment, and ability to organize and modulate their behavior. Subjects included 80 four and five year old children participating in a longitudinal study of emotion regulation, whose behavior was rated by their mothers on measures assessing overall behavior problems and degree of undercontrol. About 2/3 of the subjects were boys, while the remaining 1/3 were girls. Experimental tasks included a variety of tasks to assess executive function, a standardized measure of cognitive ability, and a screening test of risk for learning disabilities. Performance on these measures was used to predict membership in three groups based on degree of misconduct and, in a separate analysis, to predict membership in three groups based on degree of undercontrol. These analyses were undertaken to assist in identifying some of the factors which may coexist with and potentially predispose a child to significant adjustment difficulties later in development. It was discovered that all but one of the executive function measures cohered in one principal component. This suggests that they may tap a common domain. Using executive function, LD risk, and IQ, it was possible to predict membership in three groups based upon degree of misconduct. The executive function variables were especially helpful in differentiating the group with the highest level of misconduct from groups with moderate and low levels of misconduct. Groups based upon degree of undercontrol could not be successfully discriminated from each other by the predictor variables. Risk for learning disabilities contributed to the prediction of misconduct group membership but not to predicting groups based on degree of undercontrol. Although it was expected to be relatively independent of executive function, IQ was found to be related to executive function as well as to LD risk. IQ contributed significantly to prediction of misconduct groups but not to prediction of groups based on degree of undercontrol.
