description: Partial summing of infinite range of diagrams for the two-phonon mass operator of polaron described by Fröhlich Hamiltonian is performed using the Feynman-Pines diagram technique. Renormalized spectral parameters of ground and first excited (phonon repeat) polaron state are accurately calculated for a weak electron-phonon coupling at $T=0$ K. It is shown that the stronger electron-phonon interaction shifts the energy of both states into low-energy region of the spectra. The ground state stays stationary and the excited one decays at a bigger coupling constant.

Year: 2014

description: The last fifteen years have seen a renaissance in database software, as developers and consumers have finally agreed to branch out beyond the standard of relational, SQL-based database software. One of the new database types that has come to the forefront (under the umbrella of “NoSQL databases”) is graph databases. This paper will examine the performance of a specific graph database (Neo4J) on a specific problem, and elucidate more general conclusions about whether a graph database is the right choice for a prospective problem.

description: Interaction between engineered nanoparticles and natural organic matter is investigated by measuring the exchanged heat during binding process with isothermal titration calorimetry. TiO2 anatase nanoparticles and alginate are used as engineered nanoparticles and natural organic matter to get an insight into the thermodynamic association properties and mechanisms of adsorption and agglomeration. Changes of enthalpy, entropy and total free energy, reaction stoichiometry and affinity binding constant are determined or calculated at a pH value where the TiO2 nanoparticles surface charge is positive and the alginate exhibits a negative structural charge. Our results indicate that strong TiO2-alginate interactions are essentially entropy driven and enthalpically favorable with exothermic binding reactions. The reaction stoichiometry and entropy gain are also found dependent on the mixing order. Finally correlation is established between the binding enthalpy, the reaction stoichiometry and the zeta potential values determined by electrophoretic mobility measurements. From these results two types of agglomeration mechanisms are proposed depending on the mixing order. Addition of alginate in TiO2 dispersions is found to form agglomerates due to polymer bridging whereas addition of TiO2 in alginate promotes a more individually coating of the nanoparticles.

description: Drying chili peppers is crucial for maintaining color quality, nutritional value, and economic viability. However, inconsistent drying methods, particularly traditional sundrying, pose challenges in developing countries, where exposure to adverse weather conditions can lead to uneven drying, mold growth, and economic losses. Blanching, a high-temperature pre-treatment, can mitigate these issues by preserving vitamins and color through enzyme inactivation, thus enhancing the suitability of sun-drying in resource-limited settings. This study quantified variations in drying times among different methods, evaluated color changes using ASTA color value, and analyzed nutritional alterations, including vitamin C, E, and carotenoids. Results indicated that non-blanched sun-dried samples developed mold within 5 days, whereas blanched and hot-air dried samples achieved a moisture content of 14% without mold issues. ASTA color values showed no significant differences among methods. While non-blanched samples had higher vitamin C and total phenolic content, blanched sun-dried samples exhibited higher neoxanthin levels, despite having lower vitamin E and β-carotene. Overall, drying methods did not significantly affect carotenoid levels.
Predicting material damping in composite blades - a novel low order approach and experimental validation
Creators: name: Mace, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being used increasingly in turbomachinery components, due to their light weight and high specifi c strength. Bladed components are sensitive to vibrations, which are driven by the magnitude of excitation and their damping. Vibrations cause high-cycle-fatigue and eventual failure, so care must be taken to minimise vibration amplitude, through engineered damping if possible. Modelling material damping in composites is challenging due to their anisotropy but tailoring the layup of a laminate could potentially positively influence the material damping. This work presents a low-order modelling approach and experimental measurement technique, producing computationally efficient and simple damping predictions for composite components with arbitrary geometry and layup. This "smeared" approach, whilst similar to existing approaches, uses a strain energy computation to determine the material damping, but homogenises the effective properties of entire layups, rather than lamina properties, as typically used for macro-scale modelling. Initial experimental validation of the approach showed it to predict damping well for abstract single-layup specimens. Improved input damping parameters were produced through the development of a novel test rig, consisting of heavy tip masses attached to rectangular coupon specimens. This reduces extraneous damping contributions signifi cantly. The test rig facilitated further investigation into the scalability of smeared predictions, showing that the smeared elastic moduli and damping parameters can be used to represent the behaviour of thicker laminates effectively if out-of-plane stress and strain contributions are accounted for during modal loss factor computation. This investigation, coupled with input parameters gathered using the test rig, provided the con fidence to apply the smeared technique to geometrically complex, multilaminates. The technique predicted modal damping effectively, proven with full experimental validation. Throughout the work, the smeared approach is shown to produce equivalent, and sometimes superior, accuracy to the existing layered approach, with a signifi cant reduction in computational cost.

description: Initial studies have reported an increase in the incidence of mental health problems during the early months of COVID-19. Longitudinal studies of changes in mental health undertaken in Low and Middle Income countries during the pandemic remains an under-researched area. The current study examines changes in mental health among adult residents of metropolitan cities of India, a middle-income country reporting the second-highest COVID cases and third-highest fatalities, during the pandemic. Data was collected, based on a telephonic survey using the internationally accepted abridged Depression Anxiety Stress schedule (DASS-21), in August and September 2020 and July-August 2021. The sample size is 994. The data was analysed using an ordered logit model. At the onset of the pandemic, high levels of anxiety, stress and depression prevailed; their levels reduced after one year. Respondents who have experienced a decline in economic fortunes, have family members with pre-existing co-morbidity or had COVID in the family are significantly less likely to report improvement in mental health; less-educated respondents are also vulnerable. Specific sub-groups, identified as at risk, need monitoring and continued provisioning of tailor-made mental health services addressing their specific needs. Relief measures targeting economically affected households are also required.
Does Habituation Affect Conditioned Pain Modulation?

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Describing endogenous pain modulation (EPM) phenomena as occurring at “higher” or “lower” neural processing levels may help to better characterize the interactions between these mechanisms. Eleven undergraduate students took part in this experiment designed to assess whether conditioned pain modulation (CPM), a lower-level EPM process in which a painful conditioning stimulus inhibits a less painful test stimulus, can be altered by habituation, a higher-level process. The experiment was composed of three separate sessions. In the first session, participants’ thermal thresholds were determined, they rated the painfulness of the thermal grill illusion, and they rated pain evoked by a CPM-invoking paradigm. In the second session participants were randomly divided into two groups. The habituation group was repeatedly exposed to the conditioning stimulus of the CPM paradigm, painfully cold water. The control group was repeatedly exposed to innocuous water. In the third and final session, thermal thresholds, and painfulness of the thermal grill illusion and CPM-paradigm were reassessed. Results indicated that the expeimental manipulation failed to produce more habituation in the experimental group than the control group. However, data combined across groups displayed a general trend toward habituation for nearly all pain measures in this study, though most were not statistically significant. Nevertheless, there was no trend towards a reduction in CPM in session three, though perhaps this was a reflection of a low sample size. The nature of the habituation observed in this study is theorized, and implications of the independence of CPM and pain habituation are discussed.

description: Recent studies show that graph processing systems on a single machine can achieve competitive performance compared with cluster-based graph processing systems. In this paper, we present NXgraph, an efficient graph processing system on a single machine. With the abstraction of vertex intervals and edge sub-shards, we propose the Destination-Sorted Sub-Shard (DSSS) structure to store a graph. By dividing vertices and edges into intervals and sub-shards, NXgraph ensures graph data access locality and enables fine-grained scheduling. By sorting edges within each sub-shard according to their destination vertices, NXgraph reduces write conflicts among different threads and achieves a high degree of parallelism. Then, three updating strategies, i.e., Single-Phase Update (SPU), Double-Phase Update (DPU), and Mixed-Phase Update (MPU), are proposed in this paper. NXgraph can adaptively choose the fastest strategy for different graph problems according to the graph size and the available memory resources to fully utilize the memory space and reduce the amount of data transfer. All these three strategies exploit streamlined disk access pattern. Extensive experiments on three real-world graphs and five synthetic graphs show that NXgraph can outperform GraphChi, TurboGraph, VENUS, and GridGraph in various situations. Moreover, NXgraph, running on a single commodity PC, can finish an iteration of PageRank on the Twitter graph with 1.5 billion edges in 2.05 seconds; while PowerGraph, a distributed graph processing system, needs 3.6s to finish the same task.

Numerical modelling of magma reservoir processes
Creators: name: Booth, Catherine Ann
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: For many years, volcanic and igneous processes were explained by the storage of magma in a melt-rich magma body, where chemical differentiation is controlled by fractional crystallisation. However, this idea for the storage and chemical differentiation of magma in the Earth’s crust has been challenged by data from natural magmatic systems. Evidence suggests that melt-rich magma bodies are most likely a transient feature, and it is now thought that magma storage occurs in a vertically extensive magmatic system, mainly comprising of high-crystallinity ‘mush’. Mush is defined as closely packed crystals which create a crystalline framework, where melt survives within the pore space. A recent numerical model showed how a high-crystallinity magma reservoir can form in response to the intrusion of parental magma. The reservoir mainly consists of mush, but forms low-crystallinity evolved magma at the top of the reservoir, with chemical differentiation being mainly controlled by reactive melt flow. In this thesis, the recent numerical model for the formation and storage of magma in the crust is extended to investigate observed behaviours of magmatic systems unexplained through the context of high-crystallinity magma reservoirs. These behaviours include: the eruption of large volumes of low-crystallinity magma, the formation and development of a vertically extensive magmatic system and the presence of multiple heat sources in the crust to create and grow the reservoir. Results from the extended model suggest the size, frequency, and composition of eruptions to be controlled by the buoyancy-driven evacuation of magma from a source magma reservoir. The numerical model also shows the magma to be stored as discrete mush bodies in a vertically extensive magmatic system, rather than a transcrustal mush; with the chemical diversity of the system being dependent on whether partial melting of the crust occurs. Furthermore, the presence of multiple heat sources in the model reduces the magma flux needed to form a magma reservoir and recreates long-lived magma storage observed in natural systems and not currently reproduced by numerical magmatic models.
title: Educational technology: assessing instructional use in the elementary classroom
Creators: name: Jamil, Sana
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: The purpose of this study is to understand the process by which teachers integrate educational technology into their instructional practices in elementary classrooms in Newfoundland and Labrador. In Canada, several provinces have invested millions of dollars towards innovative teaching practices (Coles, 2018; Council of Ontario Directors of Education, 2017; Murgatroyd & Couture, 2010; Renić, 2020). Considering the local context, the Newfoundland and Labrador Government announced $20 million for the purchase of laptops for all teachers and Chromebooks for students across the K-12 education system (Education and Early Childhood Development, 2020). An important supplement to the introduction of educational technology into classrooms is the professional development activities for teachers through which technology utilization can be facilitated. I analyzed how professional development and policy relate to the adoption and utilization of educational technology in elementary classrooms across Newfoundland and Labrador. My study was situated in a qualitative constructivist paradigm and applied a single case study design. The critical theory of technology, proposed by Feenberg (1991), served as the philosophical lens for this research. The data collection process included an online teacher questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation review. An interpretive analysis was applied for gaining an in-depth understanding of educational technology use in classrooms. The main question focused on how educational technology is integrated into instructional practices in elementary classrooms. Findings revealed that educational technology was integrated into instructions to help facilitate the learning process. Two broad categories emerged from the data that reflected educational technology’s use with instructions: (i) differentiating by offering choices and (ii) teaching with Google Workspace. Teachers also identified several factors that affected the process of educational technology integration. Moreover, three professional development characteristics: collaboration, selfdirection, and relevance motivated teachers towards using educational technology. This study also provides useful insights for policy and suggests a framework for the context of Newfoundland and Labrador in relation to educational technology integration in classrooms.
Security and efficiency of collateral in decentralized finance
Creators: name: Harz, Dominik Lucas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) promises to be a new contender for a radically new financial system. Its foundations are censorship-resistant, non-custodial, and transparent financial protocols. Securing these protocols is achieved by combining cryptographic primitives with economic incentives instead of relying on trusted intermediaries. In DeFi, financial collateral is the central incentive measure providing repercussions against "misbehaving” agents. However, requiring collateral introduces security and efficiency concerns. (i) Securing DeFi protocols using price-volatile and complex assets requires careful risk management. (ii) Efficiency of capital is diminished since locking assets is an opportunity cost and restricts access to DeFi to agents with sufficient funds. We tackle these issues by developing new protocols to optimize collateral requirements in existing DeFi protocols safely. Our contributions are threefold. First, we provide a risk-based classification of collateral applied in DeFi protocols. Specifically, the classification serves as the starting point to develop a model capturing the security property of financial collateral with unique risks in DeFi. Second, we present two protocols that can be integrated into existing DeFi protocols. Promise transforms suitable DeFi protocols into a subscription mechanism lowering the initial capital locking requirements thus tackling the capital efficiency of collateral. Balance is a protocol to reduce collateral in DeFi protocols safely. Balance is similar to a credit scoring system where “well-behaving” agents enjoy a lowered collateral. As such, Balance can be used both to tailor security of protocols by required per-agent collateral requirements instead of per-protocol requirements and, at the same time, increase capital efficiency of collateral. We demonstrate the practical applicability of Promise and Balance by decreasing collateral in the XCLAIM cross-chain communication protocol by up to 10% under conservative assumptions. Third, we discuss the practical security of financial collateral. We outline new types of attacks on DeFi protocols secured by collateral through trustless coordination of rational agents and so-called flash loans with the example of the popular Maker protocol. We conclude by noting the perils of constructing collateralized DeFi protocols and outlining strands of future work to increase their security and efficiency.

Trekking Through Transition: An Exploration of Transition Readiness in Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease and a Self-Reflection of My Transition
Creators: name: Fajardo, Marco Lorenzo
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Because of medical advances in treatment, the lifespan of patients with sickle cell disease
(SCD) has extended well into adulthood. As a result, healthcare transition (HCT), the process of
moving from pediatric to adult care, has emerged as an important developmental period for
adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with SCD. Self-management is a transition readiness
factor incorporated in many transition programs and is factored into multiple SCD care theories.
As part of a larger project, this pilot study examined factors associated with transition readiness
using the 10 domains of the TRxANSITION Scale: Type of Chronic Health Condition, Rx
(Treatment and Medications), Adherence to Medication, Nutrition, Self-Management, Issues of
Reproduction, Trade/School, Insurance, Ongoing Support, and New Health Care Providers. In an
existing dataset of 29 African American AYAs with SCD, a cross-sectional descriptive design
and regression analysis was used to determine significant transition factors. Of the 10 domains,
Self-Management (67%) and Insurance (73%) accounted for the highest amount of variance
within the Total Transition Score at a significance of <.01. Results support the importance of
self-management in AYAs’ transition readiness while also implicating targets for interventions
to address this need. Due to the emphasis of self-care on the transition process, this project
includes personal reflections regarding the transition from student nurse to new graduate nurse.

description: In many learning tasks, structural models usually lead to better interpretability and higher generalization performance. In recent years, however, the simple structural models such as lasso are frequently proved to be insufficient. Accordingly, there has been a lot of work on "superposition-structured" models where multiple structural constraints are imposed. To efficiently solve these "superposition-structured" statistical models, we develop a framework based on a proximal Newton-type method. Employing the smoothed conic dual approach with the LBFGS updating formula, we propose a scalable and extensible proximal quasi-Newton (SEP-QN) framework. Empirical analysis on various datasets shows that our framework is potentially powerful, and achieves super-linear convergence rate for optimizing some popular "superposition-structured" statistical models such as the fused sparse group lasso.

Framework for distinguishability of orthogonal bipartite states by one-way local operations and classical communication
Creators: name: Singal, Tanmay
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the topic of perfect local distinguishability of orthogonal multipartite quantum states, most results obtained so far pertain to bipartite systems whose subsystems are of specific dimensions. In contrast very few results for bipartite systems whose subsystems are of arbitrary dimensions, are known. This is because a rich variety of (algebraic or geometric) structure is exhibited by different sets of orthogonal states owing to which it is difficult to associate some common property underlying them all, i.e., a common property that would play a crucial role in the local distinguishability of these states. In this paper, I propose a framework for the distinguishability by one-way LOCC ($1$-LOCC) of sets of orthogonal bipartite states in a $d_A \otimes d_B$ bipartite system, where $d_A, d_B$ are the dimensions of both subsytems, labelled as $A$ and $B$. I show that if the $i$-th party (where $i=A,B$) can initiate a $1$-LOCC protocol to perfectly distinguish among a set of orthogonal bipartite states, then the information of the existence of such a $1$-LOCC protocol lies in a subspace of $d_i \times d_i$ hermitian matrices, denoted by $\Tb^{(i)}$, and that the method to extract this information (of the existence of this $1$-LOCC protocol) from $\Tb^{(i)}$ depends on the value of $dim \Tb^{(i)}$. In this way one can give sweeping results for the $1$-LOCC (in)distinguishability of all sets of orthogonal bipartite states corresponding to certain values of $dim \Tb^{(i)}$. Thus I propose that the value of $dim \Tb^{(i)}$ gives the common underlying property based on which sweeping results for the $1$-LOCC (in)distinguishability of orthogonal bipartite quantum states can be made.

Boarding Psychiatric Patients in the Emergency Department:  Perceptions of ED Nurses and Nursing Assistants
Creators: name: Kane, Shannen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The boarding of psychiatric patients in emergency departments (EDs) while waiting for an inpatient mental health bed is a growing problem across the nation, resulting in increased healthcare expenditures, as well as negative effects on patient outcomes.  Gaps in the literature exist regarding the experiences of ED nurses and nursing assistants caring for boarded psychiatric patients.  The purpose of this study was to identify perceptions of ED nurses and nursing assistants caring for boarded psychiatric patients in the ED through an electronic survey.  Interpretive phenomenology was used to analyze the survey responses and develop themes to gain insight into this issue.  A total of thirty-eight surveys were analyzed and aggregated to develop themes.  Through an analysis of the survey responses, lack of control was found to be an overarching theme, which included four main themes: nontherapeutic environment, safety, inconsistency of staff, and lack of training and education.  Overall, nurses expressed greater levels of dissatisfaction caring for these patients than nursing assistants.  Nurses and nursing assistants reported confidence caring for these patients, but both desired more training, consistency, and a safer, more therapeutic environment.  Further research is needed to provide greater insight into this problem from the perspectives of staff members across the nation.

description: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) has poor prognosis, high mortality rate and lack of effective therapy. A synergic combination of PD-L1 antibody together with cell death promoting substances like deacetylase inhibitors (DACi) and multi-kinase inhibitors (MKI) could sensitize ATC cells and promote decay by autophagic cell death. The PD-L1-inhibitor atezolizumab synergized with panobinostat (DACi) and sorafenib (MKI) leading to significant reduction of the viability, measured by real time luminescence, of three different patient-derived primary ATC cells, of C643 cells and follicular epithelial thyroid cells too. Solo administration of these compounds caused a significant over-expression of autophagy transcripts; meanwhile autophagy proteins were almost not detectable after the single administration of panobinostat, thus supporting a massive autophagy degradation process. Instead, the administration of atezolizumab caused an accumulation of autophagy proteins and the cleavage of the active caspases 8 and 3. Interestingly, only panobinostat and atezolizumab were able to exacerbate the autophagy process by increasing the synthesis, the maturation and final fusion with the lysosomes of the autophagosome vesicles. Despite ATC cells could be sensitized by atezolizumab via the cleavage of the caspases, no reduction of cell proliferation or promotion of cell death was observed. The apoptosis assay evidenced the ability of panobinostat alone and in combination with atezolizumab to induce the phosphatidil serine exposure (early apoptosis) and further the secondary necrosis. Instead, sorafenib was only able to cause necrosis. The increase of caspases activity induced by atezolizumab, the apoptosis and autophagy processes promoted by panobinostat synergize thus promoting cell death in well-established and primary anaplastic thyroid cancer cells. The combined therapy could represent a future clinical application for the treatment of such lethal and untreatable solid cancer.

description: The operating principle of squeeze-film pressure sensors is based on the pressure dependence of a membrane's resonance frequency, caused by the compression of the surrounding gas which changes the resonator stiffness. To realize such sensors, not only strong and flexible membranes are required, but also minimization of the membrane's mass is essential to maximize responsivity. Here, we demonstrate the use of a few-layer graphene membrane as a squeeze-film pressure sensor. A clear pressure dependence of the membrane's resonant frequency is observed, with a frequency shift of 4 MHz between 8 and 1000 mbar. The sensor shows a reproducible response and no hysteresis. The measured responsivity of the device is 9000 Hz/mbar, which is a factor 45 higher than state-of-the-art MEMS-based squeeze-film pressure sensors while using a 25 times smaller membrane area.

The collaboration has selected Python as main programming language of its open source primary software stack, employed in decoding digitizer data and up to the most high-level analysis routines. Numba-based hardware acceleration of digital signal processing algorithms is provided through a package of potentially great interest for digitized data stream analyses. Moreover, the framework can be of general interest for any kind of tier-based analysis flow, with customizable chains of algorithms (kernels) defined through JSON configuration files. The LEGEND file format is HDF5-based, to ensure compliance with FAIR data principles. Modern development practices on packaging, style checking, CI/CD and documentation have been adopted. In this talk, I will present an overview of the LEGEND software stack and discuss its role within the PyHEP community.

description: We report excited state emission from p-states at excitation fluences well below ground state saturation in CdSe nanoplatelets. Size dependent exciton ground state-excited state energies and dynamics are determined by three independent methods, time-resolved photoluminescence (PL), time-integrated PL and Hartree renormalized k$\cdot$p calculations -- all in very good agreement. The ground state-excited state energy spacing strongly increases with the lateral platelet quantization. Our results suggest that the PL decay of CdSe platelets is governed by an LO-phonon bottleneck, related to the reported low exciton phonon coupling in CdSe platelets and only observable due to the very large oscillator strength and energy spacing of both states.
Investigating the role of 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid as a signaling molecule in the FEI cellulose synthesis pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana

description: Cellulose is an important structural component of plant cell walls. Recently, two receptor-like kinases, FEI1 and FEI2, were found to regulate cell wall synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. The fei1 fei2 double mutant, when grown on high sucrose, has short, swollen roots due to cellulose deficiency. Ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone, is known to inhibit root elongation and cause root growth defects. It was seen that disruption of ethylene biosynthesis, but not of ethylene perception, led to a reversion of the fei1 fei2 mutant phenotype. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is the immediate ethylene precursor in its biosynthesis pathway. This, along with other biochemical and genetic analyses, suggests that ACC acts as an independent signaling molecule in the FEI pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. ACC is synthesized from S-Adenosyl methionine (AdoMet) by ACC synthase (ACS), and is converted to ethylene by ACC oxidase (ACO). Using CRISPR-Cas9, the eight functional ACS genes and five functional ACO genes were disrupted in separate plant lines, in wild-type and fei1 fei2 backgrounds, and confirmed using restriction digest and agarose gel electrophoresis. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has been successfully used to disrupt all ACS and ACO genes, but not in the same plant line. Obtained higher-order mutant lines will be used to study the effect of low and high levels of ACC on cell wall perturbations. This can be used to determine potential downstream effectors of ACC and shed light on its non-canonical role as a regulator of cell wall synthesis.

description: Motivated by the way Japanese tatami mats are placed on the floor, we consider domino tilings with a constraint and estimate the number of such tilings of plane regions. We map the system onto a monomer-dimer model with a novel local interaction on the dual lattice. We use a variant of the Hamiltonian replica exchange Monte Carlo method and the multi-parameter reweighting technique to study the model. The properties of the quantity are studied beyond exact enumeration and combinatorial method. The logarithm of the number of the tilings is linear in the boundary length of the region for all the regions studied.

description: In recent charge-pump experiments, single electrons are injected into quantum Hall edge channels at energies significantly above the Fermi level. We consider here the relaxation of these hot edge-channel electrons through longitudinal-optical phonon emission. Our results show that the probability for an electron in the outermost edge channel to emit one or more phonons en route to a detector some microns distant along the edge channel suffers a double-exponential suppression with increasing magnetic field. This explains recent experimental observations. We also describe how the shape of the arrival-time distribution of electrons at the detector reflects the velocities of the electronic states post phonon emission. We show how this can give rise to pronounced oscillations in the arrival-time-distribution width as a function of magnetic field or electron energy.

description: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) could promote tumor growth and distant metastases. Molecular subtypes of bladder cancer were identified with consensus cluster analysis. A NETs-related prognostic signature was constructed with LASSO cox regression analysis. As a result, we identified three subtypes of bladder cancer, which had a distinct difference in prognosis, immune microenvironment, TIDE score, mRNAsi score and IC50 score. We also developed a prognostic signature based on 5 NETs-related genes, which had a good performance in clinical outcome prediction of bladder cancer. These results may provide more data about the vital role of NETs in bladder cancer.
What Makes a Man "Well-Born"?: The Conceptions of εὐγένεια held by Ajax and Tecmessa in Sophocles' Ajax
Creators: name: Caprara, Phillip Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Holt states that in Sophocles Ajax, “Ajax’ case for dying and Tekmessa’s case for living rest on conflicting ideas of εὐγένεια [sic]. For Ajax, being “well born” means valuing honor more than life itself. For Tekmessa, it means showing consideration for one’s family and friends. For him, it is something rough, stern, and challenging. For her, it is something gentle and humane.” While he is correct that Ajax and Tecmessa have differing conceptions of εὐγένεια, his explanation neglects a primary difference between them. For Ajax, εὐγένεια is based on biological inheritance and for Tecmessa, εὐγένεια is a social construction.

description: The silicon vacancy in silicon carbide is a strong emergent candidate for applications in quantum information processing and sensing. We perform room temperature optically-detected magnetic resonance and spin echo measurements on an ensemble of vacancies and find the properties depend strongly on magnetic field. The spin echo decay time varies from less than 10 $μ$s at low fields to 80 $μ$s at 68 mT, and a strong field-dependent spin echo modulation is also observed. The modulation is attributed to the interaction with nuclear spins and is well-described by a theoretical model.
