description: Post-ischaemic heart failure is a major cause of death worldwide. Reperfusion of infarcted heart tissue after myocardial infarction has been an important medical intervention to improve outcomes. However, disturbances in Ca2+ and redox homeostasis at the cellular level caused by ischaemia/reperfusion remain major clinical challenges. In this study, we investigated the potential of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-9-mediated cardiac expression of a Type-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) degradation-associated gene, Presenilin 1 (PSEN1), to combat post-ischaemic heart failure. Adeno-associated viral PSEN1 gene delivery elevated PSEN1 protein expression in a post-infarction rat heart failure model, and this administration normalised the contractile dysfunction of the failing myocardium in vivo and in vitro by reversing myocardial Ca2+ handling and function. Moreover, PSEN1 gene transfer to failing cardiomyocytes reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak, thereby restoring the diminished intracellular Ca2+ transients and SR Ca2+ load. Moreover, PSEN1 gene transfer reversed the phosphorylation of RyR2 in failing cardiomyocytes. However, selective autophagy inhibition did not prevent the PSEN1-induced blockade of RyR2 degradation, making the participation of autophagy in PSEN1-associated RyR2 degradation unlikely. Our results established a role of the cardiac expression of PSEN1 with AAV9 vectors as a promising therapeutic approach for post-ischaemic heart failure.

description: We investigate the physical properties of a sample of 52 Lyα emitting galaxies in the VANDELS survey, with particular focus on the role of kinematics and neutral hydrogen column density in the escape and spatial distribution of Lyα photons. For these galaxies, we derive different physical properties and characterize the Lyα emission in terms of kinematics, EW, FWHM and spatial extension and then estimate the velocity of the neutral outflowing gas. We reproduce some of the well known correlations between Lyα EW and stellar mass, dust extinction and UV \b{eta} slope, in the sense that the emission line appears brighter in lower mass, less dusty and bluer galaxies. We do not find any correlation with the SED-derived star formation rate, while we find that galaxies with brighter Lyα tend to be more compact both in UV and in Lyα. Our data reveal a new interesting correlation between the Lyα velocity and the offset of the inter-stellar absorption lines with respect to the systemic redshift, in the sense that galaxies with larger inter-stellar medium (ISM) out-flow velocities show smaller Lyα velocity shifts. We interpret this relation in the context of the shell-model scenario, where the velocity of the ISM and the HI column density contribute together in determining the Lyα kinematics. In support to our interpretation, we observe that galaxies with high HI column densities have much more extended Lyα spatial profiles, a sign of increased scattering. However, we do not find any evidence that the HI column density is related to any other physical properties of the galaxies, although this might be due in part to the limited range of parameters that our sample spans.

description: We study the behaviour of analytic torsion under smooth fibrations. Namely, let F \to E \to^{f} B be a smooth fiber bundle of connected closed oriented smooth manifolds and let $V$ be a flat vector bundle over $E$. Assume that $E$ and $B$ come with Riemannian metrics and $V$ comes with a unimodular (not necessarily flat) Riemannian metric. Let $ρ_{an}(E;V)$ be the analytic torsion of $E$ with coefficients in $V$ and let $\Pf_B$ be the Pfaffian $\dim(B)$-form. Let $H^q_{dR}(F;V)$ be the flat vector bundle over $B$ whose fiber over $b \in B$ is $H^q_{dR}(F_b;V)$ with the Riemannian metric which comes from the Hilbert space structure on the space of harmonic forms induced by the Riemannian metrics. Let $ρ_{an}(B;H^q_{dR}(F;V))$ be the analytic torsion of $B$ with coefficients in this bundle. The Leray-Serre spectral sequence for deRham cohomology determines a certain correction term $ρ^{Serre}_{dR}(f)$. We prove $ρ_{an}(E;V) = \int_B ρ_{an}(F_b;V) \cdot \Pf_B + \sum_{q} (-1)^q \cdot ρ_{an}(B;H^q_{dR}(F;V)) + ρ^{Serre}_{dR}(f)$.

description: Incomplete preferences are likely to arise in real-world preference aggregation scenarios. This paper deals with determining whether an incomplete preference profile is single-peaked. This is valuable information since many intractable voting problems become tractable given single-peaked preferences. We prove that the problem of recognizing single-peakedness is \NP-complete for incomplete profiles consisting of partial orders. Despite this intractability result, we find several polynomial-time algorithms for reasonably restricted settings. In particular, we give polynomial-time recognition algorithms for weak orders, which can be viewed as preferences with indifference.

description: We consider the minimum distance projection in the $L_2$-norm from an arbitrary point in an $n$-dimensional, Euclidian space onto the canonical simplex. It is shown that this problem reduces to a univariate problem that can be solved by a simple algorithm. This optimization problem occurs in the setting of credit risk, where one has stochastic matrices that describe transition probabilities between different credit ratings, and one wants to determine the roots of these matrices, or close approximations to them.

On multiple solutions to the steady flow of incompressible fluids subject to do-nothing or constant traction boundary conditions on artificial boundaries

description: The boundary conditions prescribing the constant traction or the so-called do-nothing conditions are frequently taken on artificial boundaries in the numerical simulations of steady flow of incompressible fluids, despite the fact that they do not facilitate a well-posed problem, not allowing to establish the standard energy estimates. In a pursuit to understand better the possible consequences of using these conditions, we present a particular set of examples of flow problems, where we find none or two analytical or numerical solutions. Namely, we consider problems where the flow connects two such artificial boundaries. In the simple case of the isotropic radial flows where both steady and unsteady analytical solutions are derived easily, we demonstrate that while for some (large) boundary data all unsteady solutions blow up in finite time, for other data (including small or trivial) the unsteady flows either converge asymptotically to one of two steady solutions, or blow up in finite time, depending on the initial state. We then document the very same behavior of the numerical solutions for planar flow in a diverging channel. Finally, we provide an illustrative example of two steady numerical solutions to the flow in a three-dimensional bifurcating tube, where the inflow velocity is prescribed at the inlet, while the two outlets are treated by the do-nothing boundary condition.

description: A ``persistence'' exponent theta has been extensively used to describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of spin systems following a deep quench: for zero-temperature homogeneous Ising models on the d-dimensional cubic lattice, the fraction p(t) of spins not flipped by time t decays to zero like t^[-theta(d)] for low d; for high d, p(t) may decay to p(infinity)>0, because of ``blocking'' (but perhaps still like a power). What are the effects of disorder or changes of lattice? We show that these can quite generally lead to blocking (and convergence to a metastable configuration) even for low d, and then present two examples --- one disordered and one homogeneous --- where p(t) decays exponentially to p(infinity).

Lagrange versus Symplectic Algorithm for Constrained Systems

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The systematization of the purely Lagrangean approach to constrained systems in the form of an algorithm involves the iterative construction of a generalized Hessian matrix W taking a rectangular form. This Hessian will exhibit as many left zero-modes as there are Lagrangean constraints in the theory. We apply this approach to a general Lagrangean in the first order formulation and show how the seemingly overdetermined set of equations is solved for the velocities by suitably extending W to a rectangular matrix. As a byproduct we thereby demonstrate the equivalence of the Lagrangean approach to the traditional Dirac-approach. By making use of this equivalence we show that a recently proposed symplectic algorithm does not necessarily reproduce the full constraint structure of the traditional Dirac algorithm.

description: The growing interaction between traditional knowledge and formal sciences emerges as a relevant field of research. In this perspective, the aim of this article is to investigate the intersections between Physics and traditional knowledge in the ceramics practices of Vila Cuera, in Bragança, state of Para. Using an ethnographic approach, complemented by qualitative analysis, we realize that ceramists use their sensitive intuition and, masterfully, apply thermodynamic principles in the production of handmade ceramics. The results highlight the value of Ethnophysics, underlining that, long before the formal structuring of science as we know it, traditional societies already practiced and understood natural phenomena in tune with contemporary physical principles. We conclude that there is an inherent link between Physics and traditional knowledge with regard to the traditional ceramics practice, grounded on empirical observations and ancestral wisdom, that dialogues with science in a complementary relationship. The study highlights the importance of valuing and recognizing the knowledge of traditional populations by highlighting the knowledge doings of cultures and institutionalized science.

Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of $W$ bosons produced in 13 TeV $pp$ collisions using prompt and displaced signatures with the ATLAS detector

description: The problems of neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and dark matter could be successfully addressed by postulating right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses below the electroweak scale. In this work, leptonic decays of $W$ bosons extracted from 32.9 fb$^{-1}$ to 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC are used to search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) that are produced through mixing with muon or electron neutrinos. The search is conducted using the ATLAS detector in both prompt and displaced leptonic decay signatures. The prompt signature requires three leptons produced at the interaction point (either $μμe$ or $e eμ$) with a veto on same-flavour opposite-charge topologies. The displaced signature comprises a prompt muon from the $W$ boson decay and the requirement of a dilepton vertex (either $μμ$ or $μe$) displaced in the transverse plane by 4-300 mm from the interaction point. The search sets constraints on the HNL mixing to muon and electron neutrinos for HNL masses in the range 4.5-50 GeV.

description: ABST RA C T  

Human trafficking has been described as the receipt of persons through fraudulent means or deceptive means, transportation of individuals, recruitment, harboring or transfer of persons based on falsehood. Oftentimes men and women or under aged children are usually victims of this inhumane activity. Some Nigerians (male or female) have had to be trafficked outside Nigeria under the pretense that they are going to have a better life. This infringement on their fundamental human rights has led to the loss of life and identity. As victims are smuggled out of the country with a promise of greener pasture oversees or in neighboring African countries. Nigeria and Libya were considered in the study, as trafficking and smuggling are prevalent in prevalent in these countries. The objectives of this study are to ascertain if there are adequate policies on ground to help in sustaining the fight against human trafficking, and why the government has not been able to eradicate the menace from the society. Hence the Nigerian government engages in diplomatic relations with other countries to return persons to the country (like in the case of Libya), through the established relevant agencies such as the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP). The study adopted the secondary data generational approach. It advocated for a more rigorous approach in other to sustain relevant policies, if any, and strengthen the fight against trafficking of persons

description: We find a general class of pp-wave string solutions with NS-NS $H_3$ or R-R $F_3$ field strengths, which are analogous to solutions with non-constant $F_5$ recently considered by Maldacena and Maoz (hep-th/0207284). We show that: (i) all pp-wave solutions supported by non-constant $H_3$ or $F_p$ fields are exact type II superstring solutions to all orders in $\a'$; (ii) the corresponding light-cone gauge Green-Schwarz actions are non-linear in bosons but always quadratic in fermions, and describe UV finite 2-d theories; (iii) the pp-wave backgrounds supported by non-constant $F_3$ field do not have, in contrast to their $F_5$-field counterparts, ``supernumerary'' supersymmetries and thus the associated light-cone GS actions do not possess 2-d supersymmetry. We consider a specific example where the pp-wave $F_3$ background is parametrized by an arbitrary holomorphic function of one complex bosonic coordinate. The corresponding GS action has the same bosonic part, similar Yukawa terms but twice as many interacting world-sheet fermions as the (2,2) supersymmetric model originating from the analogous $F_5$ background. We also discuss the structure of massless scalar vertex operators in the models related to N=2 super sine-Gordon and N=2 super Liouville theories.

description: Sociality represents one of the major evolutionary transitions in life: a transition from individuality to societies as complex as our own. Animals exhibit a wide variety of societies, from temporary aggregations, such as schools of fish, to complex organizations where individuals maintain stable relationships, such as cooperative groups in birds, mammals, and eusocial ants. However, the diversity of social systems and the mechanisms driving the formation of complex societies remain unclear. In this dissertation, I aim to understand a less known complex social system, a colonial cooperatively breeding bird on the African savannah, grey-capped social weavers (Pseudonigrita arnaudi). I monitored daytime and nighttime relationships among more than 600 birds in over 100 colonies across three subpopulations for five breeding seasons using an auto-tracking system. In Chapter 1, I examine the social organization of this species and test the role of kinship in the organization of the society. In Chapter 2, I focus on the inter-annual variation in the fission-fusion process of colonies and test how social factors (i.e., group membership and colony membership) and ecological conditions (i.e., rainfall) may underlie individual and group decisions about settlement of colonies. In Chapter 3, I investigate the conflict in the form of infanticide behavior (i.e., egg tossing) in this social system and test nest predation as an alternative hypothesis against a presumed hypothesis that group conflict is the cause of the tossing behavior. In sum, my dissertation provides the first detailed study of a colonial and cooperatively breeding bird with high resolution of movement at the individual level. Understanding a new social system will not only expand our knowledge of the variety of animal societies, but will also give insight into how social complexity has evolved, including our own.

description: We prove Hohenberg-Kohn theorems for several models of quantum mechanics. First, we show that the pair correlation function of any ground state contains the information of the interactions and of the external potentials. Then, in the presence of the Zeeman interaction, a strong constraint on external fields is derived for systems having the same ground state densities and magnetizations. Moreover, we provide a counterexample in a setting involving non-local potentials. Next, we prove that the density and the entropy of a ground state contain the information of both the imposed external potential and temperature. Eventually, we conclude that at positive temperature, Hohenberg-Kohn theorems generically hold.

description: Studying the freezing of saltwater on a molecular level is of fundamental importance for improving freeze desalination techniques. Here, we investigate the freezing process of NaCl solutions using a combination of x-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations (MD) for different salt-water concentrations, ranging from seawater conditions to saturation. A linear superposition model reproduces well the brine rejection due to hexagonal ice Ih formation and allows us to quantify the fraction of ice and brine. Furthermore, upon cooling at T = 233 K we observe the formation of NaCl$\cdot$2H$_2$O hydrates (hydrohalites), which coexist with ice Ih. MD simulations are utilized to model the formation of NaCl crystallites. From the simulations we estimate that the salinity of the newly produced ice is 0.5% mass percent (m/m) due to ion inclusions, which is within the salinity limits of fresh water. In addition, we show the effect of ions on the local ice structure using the tetrahedrality parameter and follow the crystalite formation by using the ion coordination parameter and cluster analysis.

description: In this paper we extend the notion of the Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm for almost complex manifolds. Its basic properties known from the complex analysis are preserved in the nonintegrable case as well. The main theorem on coincidence of the pseudodistance induced by this pseudonorm with the Kobayashi pseudodistance for the almost complex manifold is equivalent to the possibility of deforming slightly a pseudoholomorphic disk in an almost complex manifold. We also describe the result in terms of h-principle and consider a geometric application for moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves.

description: Biometric signature verification has been traditionally performed in pen-based office-like scenarios using devices specifically designed for acquiring handwriting. However, the high deployment of devices such as smartphones and tablets has given rise to new and thriving scenarios for signature biometrics where handwriting can be performed using not only a pen stylus but also the finger via touch interaction. Some preliminary studies have highlighted the challenge of this new scenario and the necessity of further research on the topic. The main contribution of this work is to propose a new on-line signature verification architecture adapted to the signature complexity in order to tackle this new and challenging scenario. Additionally, an exhaustive comparative analysis of both pen- and touch-based scenarios using our proposed methodology is carried out along with a review of the most relevant and recent studies in the field. Significant improvements of biometric verification performance and practical insights are extracted for the application of signature verification in real scenarios.
Complex-Analytic Methods in Reconstructive Integral Geometry

Subjects: subject: Mathematics

description: Each chapter is self-contained yet thematically dependent. A review of some of the main objectives and techniques in reconstructive integral geometry is presented. The inverse problem central to the author's work, namely reconstructing a function of position from its averages over a class of curves in the unit disc, is then introduced. We give several new results on that front and present explicit ltered backprojection inversion formulae for the attenuated and non-attenuated X-ray transform over a wide class of curves in a simply-connected region of 2-dimensional Euclidean space. The method used to derive these formulae is based on the complexication of the vector felds defing the particle transport,thereby making the problem amenable to complex-analytic techniques. The remainder of the thesis can largely be considered to be variations on this theme. The proof of the reconstruction procedure we give demands the vector fields governing the transport satisfy a somewhat stringent condition we call condition H. A thorough investigation of this condition is then presented culminating in results applicable to a certain subset of the space of vector fields with polynomial coecients. This is done by explicitly looking at the complexification and appealing to the logarithmic Poisson-Jensen formula as well as some results on quasi-conformal mapping theory. These results are used in establishing a stability estimate on a natural generalization of this polynomial space in real-analytic functions in an attempt to address approximation/truncation concerns. Finally, we take up a variant of this problem on 2-dimensional, simple and compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. In this case, we deal with data that is of a fanbeam type and thereby have to concern ourselves with the boundary of the domain we are interested in probing. A related but somewhat less direct means of complexification is used in this case on local trivializations of the unitized bundle of Hamiltonian coordinates. A novel derivation of an existing formula is then presented using a similar approach as was considered in earlier chapters. This serves as a prelude to a new result for an explicit formula for inverting the attenuated ray transform in such settings modulo a Fredholm error. We close with an appendix on containing all useful geometrical jargon used throughout.

description: This dissertation is an exploration of the putative mediators of complicated grief treatment (CGT) in an effort to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which the treatment exerts its effects. This three-paper dissertation utilizes data from an NIMH-funded randomized controlled trial of CGT (Shear et al., 2005), which showed that CGT is more effective than Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) in reducing symptoms of complicated grief (CG). The first paper examines a broad range of ancillary outcomes including symptoms of anxiety, depression, complicated grief and sleep disturbance due to bad dreams. Antidepressant use is examined as a possible moderator since half the sample was taking antidepressants and those taking antidepressants had a marginally better response rate in CGT than those not taking them (59% vs. 42% in CGT and 40% vs. 19% in IPT). CGT was more effective than IPT in reducing cognitive symptoms of anxiety, depression as measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), somatic symptoms of depression, guilt/self-blame, negative thoughts about the future, avoidance and poor sleep due to bad dreams. The difference in treatment effect on the HRSD for CGT over IPT was more pronounced for participants not taking antidepressants where CGT reduced depression but IPT did not. Paper two examines possible mediators specific to the model of CGT including: guilt/self-blame specific to the death or deceased; negative thoughts about the future; avoidance of reminders of the loss; anxiety and depression (intense negative emotions). Antidepressants are also examined as a potential moderator to explore whether their use affects the mediating role of the identified variables. All of these variables emerged as either full or partial mediators of CGT. Antidepressant use had no effect on the mediating role of these variables. Paper three examines whether alliance (measured at week 4) predicts subsequent change in grief symptoms (controlling for early symptom change) and if so, whether it accounts for the difference in treatment effect between CGT and IPT (mediation). Working alliance emerged as a mediator of CGT, accounting for 28% of the treatment effect found between CGT/IPT and grief symptoms. Discussion sections for each paper summarize study findings, limitations and implications for future research.
On kernel bundles over reducible curves with a node

description: Given a vector bundle $E$ on a complex reduced curve $C$ and a subspace $V$ of $H^0(E)$ which generates $E$, one can consider the kernel of the evaluation map $ev_V:V\otimes \mathcal{O}_C\to E$, i.e. the {\it kernel bundle } $M_{E,V}$ associated to the pair $(E,V)$. Motivated by a well known conjecture of Butler about the semistability of $M_{E,V}$ and by the results obtained by several authors when the ambient space is a smooth curve, we investigate the case of a curve with one node. Unexpectedly, we are able to prove results which goes in the opposite direction with respect to what is known in the smooth case. For example, $M_{E,H^0(E)}$ is actually quite never $w$-semistable. Conditions which gives the $w$-semistability of $M_{E,V}$ when $V\subset H^0(E)$ or when $E$ is a line bundle are then given.

description: Sequences of Levy transformations for the Darboux system of conjugates nets in multidimensions are studied. We show that after a suitable number of Levy transformations, with at least a Levy transformation in each direction, we get closed formulae in terms of multi-Wroński determinants.

description: In times of genetically modified food, globalized production and distribution chains, food safety is a major issue in public policy. Although industrial actors have traditionally had remarkable influence on political decision- making in this area, challenger organizations from civil society have gained influence by mobilizing support and shaping public discourse on the Internet. The authors’ study analyzes online issue networks concerning food safety in order to assess the actor constellations and coalitions that may serve as an opportunity structure for the mobilization of the issue. By comparing the US, the UK, Germany, and Switzerland, the authors investigate the differences in policy settings between pluralist and corporatist democracies. They find that the mobilization structures related to food safety issues are actively promoted by the challengers themselves. In countries where challengers do not find support within national politics, the challengers’ online communication refers to mass media as witnesses to legitimize their concern in public debates.
