description: Myocardial infarction (MI) affects more than 8 million people in the United States alone. Due to theinsufficient regeneration capacity of the native myocardium, one widely studied approach is cardiactissue engineering, in which cells are delivered with or without biomaterials and/or regulatory factors tofully regenerate the cardiac functions. Specifically, in vitro cardiac tissue engineering focuses on usingbiomaterials as a reservoir for cells to attach, as well as a carrier of various regulatory factors such asgrowth factors and peptides, providing high cell retention and a proper microenvironment for cells tomigrate, grow and differentiate within the scaffolds before implantation. Many studies have shown thatthe full establishment of a functional cardiac tissue in vitro requires synergistic actions between theseeded cells, the tissue culture condition, and the biochemical and biophysical environment provided bythe biomaterials-based scaffolds. Proper electrical stimulation and mechanical stretch during the in vitroculture can induce the ordered orientation and differentiation of the seeded cells. On the other hand, thevarious scaffolds biochemical and biophysical properties such as polymer composition, ligand concentration,biodegradability, scaffold topography and mechanical properties can also have a significant effecton the cellular processes.
Identifying the pairing symmetry in the Sr2RuO4 superconductor

description: We have analyzed heat capacity and thermal conductivity measurements of Sr2RuO4 in the normal and superconducting state and come to the conclusion that an order parameter with nodal lines on the Fermi surface is required to account for the observed low-temperature behavior. A gapped order parameter is inconsistent with the reported thermodynamic and transport data. Guided by a strongly peaked dynamical susceptibility along the diagonals of the Brillouin zone in neutron scattering data, we suggest a spin-fluctuation mechanism that would favor the pairing state with the gap maxima along the zone diagonals (such as for a d_{xy} gap). The most plausible candidates are an odd parity, spin-triplet, f-wave pairing state, or an even parity, spin-singlet, d-wave state. Based on our analysis of possible pairing functions we propose measurements of the ultrasound attenuation and thermal conductivity in the magnetic field to further constrain the list of possible pairing states.

The Postcollapse Equilibrium Structure of Cosmological Haloes in a Low-Density Universe

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: An analytical model is presented for the postcollapse equilibrium structure of virialized objects which condense out of a low-density cosmological background universe, either matter-dominated or flat with a cosmological constant. This generalizes the model we derived previously for an Einstein-de Sitter (EdS) universe. The model is based upon the assumption that cosmological haloes form from the collapse and virialization of top-hat density perturbations and are spherical, isotropic, and isothermal. This leads to the prediction of a unique, nonsingular, truncated isothermal sphere (TIS), a particular solution of the Lane-Emden equation (modified for nonzero cosmological constant). The size and virial temperature are unique functions of the mass and redshift of formation of the object for a given background universe. The central density is roughly proportional to the critical density of the universe at the epoch of collapse. This TIS model is in good agreement with observations of the internal structure of dark matter--dominated haloes on scales ranging from dwarf galaxies to X-ray clusters. It also reproduces many of the average properties of haloes in simulations of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model to good accuracy, suggesting that it is a useful analytical approximation for haloes which form from realistic initial conditions. Our TIS model matches the density profiles of haloes in CDM N-body simulations outside the innermost region, while avoiding the steep central cusp of the latter which is in apparent conflict with observations. The TIS model may also be relevant to nonstandard CDM models, like self-interacting dark matter, recently proposed to resolve this conflict.

Emergence of Quantum Chaos in Quantum Computer Core and How to Manage It

description: We study the standard generic quantum computer model, which describes a realistic isolated quantum computer with fluctuations in individual qubit energies and residual short-range inter-qubit couplings. It is shown that in the limit where the fluctuations and couplings are small compared to one-qubit energy spacing the spectrum has a band structure and a renormalized Hamiltonian is obtained which describes the eigenstate properties inside one band. The studies are concentrated on the central band of the computer (``core'') with the highest density of states. We show that above a critical inter-qubit coupling strength, quantum chaos sets in, leading to quantum ergodicity of the computer eigenstates. In this regime the ideal qubit structure disappears, the eigenstates become complex and the operability of the computer is quickly destroyed. We confirm that the quantum chaos border decreases only linearly with the number of qubits n, although the spacing between multi-qubit states drops exponentially with n. The investigation of time-evolution in the quantum computer shows that in the quantum chaos regime, an ideal (noninteracting) state quickly disappears and exponentially many states become mixed after a short chaotic time scale for which the dependence on system parameters is determined. Below the quantum chaos border an ideal state can survive for long times and be used for computation. The results show that a broad parameter region does exist where the efficient operation of a quantum computer is possible.

description: Chemically prepared colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have long been proposed as scalable and color-tunable single emitters in quantum optics, but they have typically suffered from prohibitively incoherent emission. We now demonstrate that individual colloidal lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) display highly efficient single photon emission with optical coherence times as long as 80 ps, an appreciable fraction of their 210 ps radiative lifetimes. These measurements suggest that PQDs should be explored as building blocks in sources of indistinguishable single photons and entangled photon pairs. Our results present a starting point for the rational design of lead halide perovskite-based quantum emitters with fast emission, wide spectral-tunability, scalable production, and which benefit from the hybrid-integration with nano-photonic components that has been demonstrated for colloidal materials.

Simulation of Spin Glass with a Variable-system-size Ensemble

description: In this paper, we introduce a dynamical Monte Carlo algorithm for spin models in which the number of the spins fluctuates from zero to a given number by addition and deletion of spins with a probabilistic rule. Such simulations are realized with a variable-system-size ensemble, a mixture of canonical ensembles each of which corresponds to a system with different size. The weight of each component of the mixture is controlled by a penalty term and systematically tuned in a preliminary run in a way similar to the multicanonical algorithm. In a measurement run, the system grows and shrinks without violating the detailed balance condition and we can obtain the correct canonical averages if physical quantities is measured only when its size is equal to the prescribed maximum size. The mixing of Markov chain is facilitated by the fast relaxation at small system sizes. The algorithm is implemented for the SK model of spin glass and shows better performance than that of a conventional heat bath algorithm.

description: The first-order Fermi acceleration process at an ultra-relativistic shock wave is expected to create a particle spectrum with the unique asymptotic spectral index sigma_{gamma >> 1} approximately 2.2. Below, we discuss this result and differences in its various derivations, which -- explicitly or implicitly -- always require highly turbulent conditions downstream of the shock. In the presence of medium amplitude turbulence the generated particle spectrum can be much steeper than the above asymptotic one. We also note problems with application of the pitch angle diffusion model for particle transport near the ultra-relativistic shocks.

description: A holographic bottom-up model used in studying the superconducting system is applied to search for the color superconducting phase of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We apply the probe analysis of this model to the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in both the confinement and deconfinement phases. In this analysis, we find the color superconductivity in both phases when the baryon chemical potential exceeds a certain critical value. This result implies that, above the critical chemical potential, a color non-singlet diquark operator, namely the Cooper pair, has its vacuum expectation value even in the confinement phase. In order to improve this peculiar situation, we proceed the analysis by taking account of the full back-reaction from the probe. As a result, the color superconducting phase, which is observed in the probe approximation, disappears in both the confinement and deconfinement phases when parameters of the theory are set within their reasonable values.

description: The gravitational waves were detected directly for the first time on September 14, 2015 by two LIGO detectors at Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford, Washington, USA. Careful analysis revealed that this signal was produced by the last moment of inspiral and merger of two black holes that have been orbiting each other. Since the first detection, several other gravitational wave sources, including one neutron star merger event in August 201,7 have been observed by the LIGO together with Virgo. This article provides a very brief overview of the history toward the understanding the nature of gravitational waves, detectors, types of sources and achievements of the gravitational wave detectors. We then discuss astrophysical implications of the recent detections of black hole and neutron star binaries and provide short term and long term prospects of gravitational wave astronomy.

description: We present Monte Carlo simulations of a coarse-grained model for Langmuir monolayers of amphiphile molecules on a polar substrate. The molecules are modelled as chains of Lennard-Jones beads, with one slightly larger end bead confined in a planar surface. They are simulated in continuous space under conditions of constant pressure, using a simulation box of variable size and shape. The model exhibits a disordered phase (corresponding to the liquid expanded phase), and various ordered phases (corresponding to the condensed phases) with different types of tilt. We calculate the phase diagrams and characterize the different phases and phase transitions. The effect of varying the chain stiffness is also discussed.

description: Research on substituted phenol degradations has received substantial attention. In this work, effective Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanine complexes as catalysts were studied to degrade toxic phenols to harmless products. The effect of various process parameters, such as initial concentration of phenol, catalyst, oxygen sources, and temperature on the degradation reaction was investigated to achieve maximum degradation efficiency. The catalytic activities of Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanines were evaluated for oxidation of phenolic compounds such as p-nitrophenol, o-chlorophenol, 2,3-dichlorophenol, and m-methoxyphenol. Co(II) phthalocyanine displayed good catalytic performance in degradation of 2,3-dichlorophenol to 2,3-dichlorobenzaldehyde and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone with the highest TON and TOF values within 3 h at 50 °C. The fate of catalyst during the degradation process was followed by UV–Vis spectroscopy.
Spectral analysis of the spin-boson Hamiltonian with two bosons for arbitrary coupling and bounded dispersion relation

description: We study the spectrum of the spin-boson Hamiltonian with two bosons for arbitrary coupling $α>0$ in the case when the dispersion relation of the free field is a bounded function. We derive an explicit description of the essential spectrum which consists of the so-called two and three-particle branches that can be separated by a gap if the coupling is sufficiently large. It turns out, that depending on the location of the coupling constant and the energy level of the atom (with respect to certain constants depending on the maximal and the minimal values of the boson energy) as well as the validity or the violation of the infrared regularity type conditions, the essential spectrum is either a single finite interval or a disjoint union of at most six finite intervals. The corresponding critical values of the coupling constant are determined explicitly and the asymptotic lengths of the possible gaps are given when $α$ approaches to the respective critical value. Under minimal smoothness and regularity conditions on the boson dispersion relation and the coupling function, we show that discrete eigenvalues can never accumulate at the edges of the two-particle branch. Moreover, we show the absence of the discrete eigenvalue accumulation at the edges of the three-particle branch in the infrared regular case.

description: We realize mirror templates on the tips of optical fibers using a single-shot CO$_2$ laser ablation procedure. We perform a systematic study of the influence of the pulse power, pulse duration, and laser spot size on the radius of curvature, depth, and diameter of the mirror templates. We find that these geometrical characteristics can be tuned to a larger extent than has been previously reported, and notably observe that compound convex-concave shapes can be obtained. This detailed investigation should help further the understanding of the physics of CO$_2$ laser ablation processes and help improve current models. We additionally identify regimes of ablation parameters that lead to mirror templates with favorable geometries for use in cavity quantum electrodynamics and optomechanics.

description: We note that Fujikawa's proposal of generalization of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is equivalent to setting $R = (a γ_5 D)^{2k}$ in the original Ginsparg-Wilson relation $D γ_5 + γ_5 D = 2 a D R γ_5 D$. An explicit realization of D follows from the Overlap construction. The general properties of D are derived. The chiral properties of these higher-order (k > 0) realizations of Overlap Dirac operator are compared to those of the Neuberger-Dirac operator (k = 0), in terms of the fermion propagator, the axial anomaly and the fermion determinant in a background gauge field. Our present results (up to lattice size 16 x 16) indicate that the chiral properties of the Neuberger-Dirac operator are better than those of higher-order ones.

description: Herein, we present a direct competitive biomimetic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BELISA) method for the determination of semicarbazide (SEM) using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film as the bionic antibody. The best monomer (methacrylic acid) and molar ratio of monomer to template (4:1) were determined with the aid of computational simulation methods based on density functional theory (DFT). The MIP film was characterised by scanning electron microscopy and adsorption experiments. The results showed that the imprinted film was successfully synthesised with good adsorption performance. Under optimal conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range of 1.0–1.0×104 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9863). The detection limit (IC15) and sensitivity (IC50) were 1.0 and 85.7 ng/mL, respectively. This BELISA method was further applied to the analysis of SEM in food samples; recoveries ranged from 86.1% to 90.8%. These observations indicated that the developed method could be adapted for SEM quantification in food.

Several sets of published stellar yields for both intermediate-mass and massive stars are considered, and the most appropriate sets are selected through the use of analytical models. These yields are then used in the numerical models to match observed data trends in C/O, N/O, and O/H. We conclude that the principal production site for carbon is massive stars, while that for nitrogen is intermediate-mass stars.

description: On examining the stability of a Wigner crystal in an ionic dielectric, two competitive effects due to the polaron formation are found to be important: (i) the screening of the Coulomb force, which destabilizes the crystal, compensated by (ii) the increase of the carrier mass (polaron mass). The competition between the two effects is carefully studied, and the quantum melting of the polaronic Wigner crystal is examined by varying the density at zero temperature. By calculating the quantum fluctuations of both the electron and the polarization, we show that there is a competition between the dissociation of the polarons at the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT), and a melting towards a polaron liquid. We find that at strong coupling, a liquid state of dielectric polarons cannot exist, and the IMT is driven by the polaron dissociation. Next, taking into account the dipolar interactions between localized carriers, we show that these are responsible for an instability of the transverse vibrational modes of the polaronic Wigner crystal as the density increases. This provides a new mechanism for the IMT in doped dielectrics, which yields interesting dielectric properties below and beyond the transition. An optical signature of such a mechanism for the IMT is provided.

description: Background: Substantial heterogeneity has been reported in efficacy against high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) irrespective of HPV type in phase III results for bivalent and quadrivalent human papillomavirus virus (HPV) vaccines (AS04-HPV and qHPV). Real-world data recently confirmed a very high overall impact of AS04-HPV, supporting the validity of the observed heterogeneity. To explore the reasons for heterogeneous efficacy, we assessed vaccine impact on high-grade lesions not caused by vaccine types. Research methods: We extracted case counts of CIN lesions containing (1) at least one vaccine HPV type, (2) at least one vaccine HPV type and a high-risk non-vaccine type (co-infections) and (3) no vaccine types (non-vaccine or no high-risk HPV types). Based on these, Phase III cross-protective efficacies were estimated with exclusion (3) and with inclusion (2 and 3) of co-infections. Results: Cross-protective efficacy of AS04-HPV against CIN3 lesions ranges from 81.3% (95%CI: 34.7;96.5) (excluding co-infections) to 88.5% (95%CI:62.4;97.8) (including co-infections). For qHPV the efficacy ranges from −58.7% (95%CI: −180.5;8.5) (excluding co-infections) to 13.1% (95%CI: −39.0;45.9) (including co-infections). Conclusions: Heterogenous overall efficacy against CIN3 between AS04-HPV and qHPV is driven by differential efficacy against lesions that do not contain vaccine types, which may be related to the impact of different adjuvants on the immune response.

description: We have simulated lattice QCD directly in the chiral limit of zero quark mass by adding an additional, irrelevant 4-fermion interaction to the standard action. Using lattices having temporal extent of six and spatial extents of twelve and eighteen, we find that the theory with 2 massless staggered quark flavors has a second order finite temperature phase transition. The critical exponents $β_{mag}$, $δ$ and $ν$ are measured and favour tricritical behaviour over that expected by universality arguments. The pion screening mass is consistent with zero below the transition, but is degenerate with the nonzero $σ(f_0)$ mass above the transition, indicating the restoration of chiral symmetry.
description: 12 pages, 3 postscript figures Letter has been rewritten to reflect a reinterpretation of our results as indicating tricritical critical indices rather than those predicted by standard universality arguments. Some additional analysis which supports this interpretation is included. The comparison of our methods with those of others has been expanded

description: Gravitating systems surrounded by a dynamic sea of substructures experience fluctuations of the local tidal field which inject kinetic energy into the internal motions. This paper uses stochastic calculus techniques to describe `tidal heating' as a random walk of orbital velocities that leads to diffusion in a 4-dimensional energy--angular momentum space. In spherical, static potentials we derive analytical solutions for the Green's propagators directly from the number density and velocity distribution of substructures with known mass & size functions without arbitrary cuts in forces or impact parameters. Furthermore, a Monte-Carlo method is presented, which samples velocity 'kicks' from a probability function and can be used to model orbital scattering in fully generic potentials. For illustration, we follow the evolution of planetary orbits in a clumpy environment. We show that stochastic heating of (mass-less) discs in a Keplerian potential leads to the formation, and subsequent `evaporation' of Oort-like clouds, and derive analytical expressions for the escape rate and the fraction of comets on retrograde orbits as a function of time. Extrapolation of the subhalo mass function of Milky Way-like haloes down to the WIMP free-streaming length suggests that objects in the outer Solar system experience repeated interactions with dark microhaloes on dynamical time-scales.

description: Traditional financial accounting plays a critical role in valuation, performance evaluation, debt contracts, and investment decisions. Experts discuss whether sustainability data can serve similar functions, identifying challenges in measurement, standardization, and investor relevance. They emphasize the need for reliable ESG reporting and debate its economic impact. While sustainability information is increasingly significant, its integration into financial analysis remains complex and evolving.
Observational Tests Of Intermediate Mass Star Yields Using Planetary Nebulae
Creators: name: Kwitter, K. B.

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This paper summarizes a project designed to study abundances in a sample of planetary nebulae representing a broad range in progenitor mass and metallicity. We collect abundances of C, N, and O determined for the entire sample and compare them with theoretical predictions of planetary nebula abundances from a grid of intermediate-mass star models. We find very good agreement between observations and theory, lending strong support to our current understanding of nucleosynthesis in stars with progenitor masses below 8 solar masses. This agreement between observation and theory also supports the validity of published stellar yields of C and N in the study of the abundance evolution of these two elements.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: These are notes for lectures delivered at the NATO ASI on Dynamics in Leiden, The Netherlands, in July 1998. The quantum kinetic theory for noninteracting electrons in a disordered solid is introduced and discussed. We first use many-body theory to derive the quantum Boltzmann equation that describes transport and time correlation functions in this system. Particular attention is paid to the calculation of the electrical conductivity and the density response function. We then consider corrections to the Boltzmann equation due to wave interference effects. The disorder expansion of the conductivity is addressed, and the so-called weak localization or long-time tail contribution to the conductivity is discussed. We conclude with a brief discussion of the influence of electron-electron interactions on the properties of disordered electronic systems.

description: We construct free abelian subgroups of the group $U(A_Γ)$ of untwisted outer automorphisms of a right-angled Artin group, thus giving lower bounds on the virtual cohomological dimension. The group $U(A_Γ)$ was previously studied by Charney, Stambaugh and the second author, who constructed a contractible cube complex on which it acts properly and cocompactly, giving an upper bound for the virtual cohomological dimension. The ranks of our free abelian subgroups are equal to the dimensions of the principal cubes in this complex. These are often of maximal dimension, so that the upper and lower bounds agree. In many cases when the principal cubes are not of maximal dimension we show there is an invariant contractible subcomplex of strictly lower dimension.

description: The Abelian Higgs model with anisotropic couplings in 2+1 dimensions is studied in both the compact and non-compact formulations. Decoupling of the space-like planes takes place in the extreme anisotropic limit, so charged particles and gauge fields are presumably localized within these planes. The behaviour of the model under the influence of an external magnetic field is examined in the compact case and yields further characterization of the phases.

description: Cardiac fibrosis occurs naturally after myocardial infarction. While the initially formed fibrotic tissue prevents theinfarcted heart tissue from rupture, the progression of cardiac fibrosis continuously expands the size of fibrotictissue and causes cardiac function decrease. Cardiac fibrosis eventually evolves the infarcted hearts into heartfailure. Inhibiting cardiac fibrosis from progressing is critical to prevent heart failure. However, there is no efficienttherapeutic approach currently available. Myofibroblasts are primarily responsible for cardiac fibrosis. They areformed by cardiac fibroblast differentiation, fibrocyte differentiation, epithelial to mesenchymal transdifferentiation,and endothelial to mesenchymal transition, driven by cytokines such as transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β),angiotensin II and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). The approaches that inhibit myofibroblast formationhave been demonstrated to prevent cardiac fibrosis, including systemic delivery of antifibrotic drugs, localizeddelivery of biomaterials, localized delivery of biomaterials and antifibrotic drugs, and localized delivery of cellsusing biomaterials. This review addresses current progresses in cardiac fibrosis therapies.
title: The Musical Theatre Encounter: Chinese Consumption of a Western Form of Entertainment
Creators: name: Lu, Xiao
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: The genre of western musical theatre resembles the collaborative style of traditionalChinese theatre, and this has led to its increasing popularity among Chinese audiences. A growing number of Chinese emerging middle-class consumers demonstrate their economic and cultural capacities for cultural consumption, and thus they have become significant consumers of western musical theatre since the twenty-first century. The aim of this thesis is to study the behaviour and consumption patterns of Chinese audiences attending musical theatre performances. The study has found that 69% of Chinese respondents are willing to watch a musical theatre production with a British or American origin. Participation in digital platforms stimulates Chinese audiences to co-create meanings and experiences with musical theatre, and Chinese engagement with online communities demonstrates their behaviour as fans, and as theatre-goers who value the memory of a particular performance. This thesis recommends a collaborative strategy for audience engagement between theatre producers, arts marketing professionals, and Chinese cultural policy-makers. Theatre producers could create musical theatre productions by appropriating theatrical content and new technologies to deliver hybrid experiences for a broader audience; arts marketing professionals could make the most of social media tools to enhance the audiences’ digital engagement. Furthermore, marketing should be directed effectively to foster a confident and active audience for long-term musical theatre attendance. The government policies should highlight the role of arts education through online and offline platforms and deepen the autonomy of arts and cultural organisations to import and stage musical theatre productions in China. This thesis offers an insight thatChinese audiences’ experiences are a key feature showing how musical theatre becomes a popular entertainment choice.

description: We report on Monte Carlo results of diffusion coefficients of lattice star polymers trapped inside a fixed network (de Gennes model). It is found that our data are in agreement with the Helfand-Pearson exponential factor α=0.29. For the pre-exponential power law exponent we find β=2. In contrast to existing theoretical predictions, we find that the number of arms f leads to a pre-exponential factor of the form exp(-0.75 f).

description: Objective: To investigate the role of lncRNA Rpph1 on amyloid-β induced neuronal injury in SK-N-SH cells and underlying mechanism. Methods:In vitro Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model was established using the SK-N-SH cells treated with Aβ25-35 peptide. APPswe/PS1ΔE9 double transgenic mice were used as AD animal model. Rpph1 was over-expressed and miR-122 was inhibited or overexpressed in SK-N-SH cells via transfection with pcDNA3.1-oe Rpph1 vector, miR-122 inhibitor or miR-122 mimic, respectively. Cell viabilities and apoptosis were evaluated using MTT or flow cytometry assay, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to determine expression of Rpph1 and miR-122. Western blotting was used to determine the expression of apoptosis related proteins as well as Wnt/β-catenin signaling related proteins. Dual luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirm the binding of miR-122 with predictive binding site in 3’ UTR of Rpph1 and Wnt1. Results: Both lncRNA Rpph1 and miR-122 were up-regulated in AD mouse. Either over-expression of Rpph1 or inhibition of miR-122 restored the cell viability or decreased cell apoptosis rate in Aβ induced SK-N-SH cells. Overexpression of miR-122 inhibited the cell viability while did not influence the Aβ level in SK-N-SH cells. Furthermore, over-expression of Rpph1, as well as inhibition of miR-122, elevated Bcl-2, c-myc, Survivin and decreased Bax expression via activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Dual luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-122 could directly target to 3’UTR of Rpph1 and Wnt1. Conclusion: Both lncRNA Rpph1 and miR-122 were up-regulated in AD mouse and Rpph1 activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling to ameliorate amyloid-β induced neuronal apoptosis in SK-N-SH cells via direct targeting miR-122.
