description: We report on terahertz radiation detection with InGaAs/InAlAs Field Effect Transistors in quantizing magnetic field. The photovoltaic detection signal is investigated at 4.2 K as a function of the gate voltage and magnetic field. Oscillations analogous to the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, as well as their strong enhancement at the cyclotron resonance, are observed. The results are quantitatively described by a recent theory, showing that the detection is due to rectification of the terahertz radiation by plasma waves related nonlinearities in the gated part of the channel.

description: Kaon decay studies seeking new-physics (NP) effects in leptonic (K_l2) or semileptonic (K_l3) decays are discussed. A unitarity test of the first row of the CKM mixing matrix is obtained from the KLOE precision measurements of Kl3 widths for K^+-, K_L, and (unique to KLOE) K_S, complemented with the absolute branching ratio for the K_mu2 decay. KLOE results lead to constraints for NP models and can probe possible charged Higgs exchange contribution in SM extensions with two Higgs doublets. The main focus in the present document is set on a new measurement of R_K=Gamma(K_e2)/Gamma(K_mu2) with an accuracy at the % level, aiming at finding evidence of deviations from the SM prediction induced by lepton-flavor violation NP effects.

description: We consider the interaction between electrons and molecular vibrations in the context of electronic transport in nanoscale devices. We present a method based on non-equilibrium Green's functions to calculate both equilibrium and non-equilibrium electronic properties of a single-molecule junction in the presence of electron-vibron interactions. We apply our method to a model system consisting of a single electronic level coupled to a single vibration mode in the molecule, which is in contact with two electron reservoirs. Higher-order diagrams beyond the usual self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) are included in the calculations. In this paper we consider the effects of the double-exchange diagram and the diagram in which the vibron propagator is renormalized by one electron-hole bubble. We study in detail the effects of the first- and second-order diagrams on the spectral functions for a large set of parameters and for different transport regimes (resonant and off-resonant cases), both at equilibrium and in the presence of a finite applied bias. We also study the linear response (linear conductance) of the nanojunction for all the different regimes. We find that it is indeed necessary to go beyond the SCBA in order to obtain correct results for a wide range of parameters.

description: The quantum mechanics of two-electron systems is reviewed, starting with the ground state of the helium atom and helium-like ions, with central charge $Z\ge 2$. For Z=1, demonstrating the stability of the negative hydrogen ion, H$^-$, cannot be achieved using a mere product of individual electron wave functions, and requires instead an explicit account for the anticorrelation among the two electrons. The wave function proposed by Chandrasekhar is revisited, where the permutation symmetry is first broken and then restored by a counter-term. More delicate problems can be studied using the same strategy: the stability of hydrogen-like ions $(M^+,m^-,m^-)$ for any value of the proton-to-electron mass ratio $M/m$; the energy of the lowest spin-triplet state of helium and helium-like ions; the stability of the doubly-excited hydrogen ion with unnatural parity. The positronium molecule $(e^+,e^+,e^-,e^-)$, which has been predicted years ago and discovered recently, can also be shown to be stable against spontaneous dissociation, though the calculation is a little more involved. Emphasis is put on symmetry breaking which can either spoil or improve the stability of systems.

description: Sr2VO{3-delta}FeAs superconductors with different oxygen deficiencies have been successfully fabricated. It is found that the superconducting transition temperature drops down monotonically with the increase of oxygen deficiency. The diminishing of superconductivity is accompanied by the enhancement of residual resistivity, indicating an unraveled scattering effect induced by the oxygen deficiency. The highest superconducting transition temperature at about 40 K is achieved near the stoichiometrical sample Sr$_2$VO$_{3}$FeAs. Surprisingly, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that the vanadium has a "5+" valence state in the samples. The Hall effect measurements reveal that the density of charge carriers (electron-like here) varies qualitatively with the increase of oxygen deficiency. Magnetotransport measurements show that the superconducting transition changes from one-step-like shape at low fields to two-step-like one at high fields, indicating a high anisotropy.

description: We study the thermodynamics of massless phi-fourth theory using screened perturbation theory, which is a way to systematically reorganise the perturbative series. The free energy and pressure are calculated through four loops in a double expansion in powers of g^2 and m/T, where m is a thermal mass of order gT. The result is truncated at order g^7. We find that the convergence properties are significantly improved compared to the weak-coupling expansion.

Acquired brain injury : social cognitive ability as a predictor of psychosocial functioning and the influence of sex
Creators: name: George, MD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is an extremely prevalent; 1 in 45 Australians have experienced one (AIHW, 2007). Impairments to social cognition are well documented in ABI literature (Adolphs, 2010; McDonald, 2013), and the consequences of such impairments have the potential to be devastating to psychosocial outcomes (Ubukata et al., 2014). Research suggests that males may be more vulnerable to these ABI-related social cognitive impairments than females. The current study aimed to investigate the interaction between sex and social cognition, and how predictive these factors are of psychosocial functioning following an ABI. The current study examined 39 ABI participants and 34 age and sex matched controls on a range of social cognitive and psychosocial functioning measures through self, informant and object reports. A series of 2 (male vs female) x 2 (ABI vs control) ANOVAs were conducted to compare social cognitive ability. The results revealed that males performed worse than females on all measures of social cognition in the ABI group. The effect of sex was significant for the IRI, and the ER SEQ informant scores revealed a trend towards this also. All three TASIT-S subscales revealed a significant interaction between presence of an ABI and sex. This supported the hypothesis that an ABI would negatively impact social cognition for males more than females. Six hierarchical regressions were conducted to determine the predictive value of social cognition for psychosocial functioning. For males (unlike females), the final regression model significantly predicted performance on all three SPRS subscales; a strong association. These findings suggest that for ABI males, social cognitive ability was impaired to the extent that it predicted psychosocial functioning. Results highlight the need for sex and social cognition to be considered in ABI research and interventions.

description: The spectral and timing properties of an oscillating hot thermal corona are investigated. This oscillation is assumed to be due to a magneto-acoustic wave propagating within the corona and triggered by an external, non specified, excitation. A cylindrical geometry is adopted and, neglecting the rotation, the wave equation is solved in for different boundary conditions. The resulting X-ray luminosity, through thermal comptonization of embedded soft photons, is then computed, first analytically, assuming linear dependence between the local pressure disturbance and the radiative modulation. These calculations are also compared to Monte-Carlo simulations. The main results of this study are: (1) the corona plays the role of a low band-pass medium, its response to a white noise excitation being a at top noise Power Spectral Density (PSD) at low frequencies and a red noise at high frequency, (2) resonant peaks are present in the PSD. Their powers depend on the boundary conditions chosen and, more specifically, on the impedance adaptation with the external medium at the corona inner boundary. (3) The flat top noise level and break as well as the resonant peak frequencies are inversely proportional to the external radius rj. (4) Computed rms and f-spectra exhibit an overall increase of the variability with energy. Comparison with observed variability features, especially in the hard intermediate states of X-ray binaries are discussed.

The mere presence effect of smartphones on decision-making performance
Creators: name: Bailey, L
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The present study investigated the 'mere presence effect' of smartphones on decision-making performance. We also explored whether the relationship between smartphone presence and decision-making could be partially explained by cravings when moderated by smartphone dependency. Fifty-one participants (29 female; aged 19-45 years, `M`= 25.76, SD = 5.57) were recruited and randomly allocated into one of two conditions: a smartphone condition where participants had their phones in the lab face down and on silent and a control condition where participants had their phones in a separate room. Both conditions completed a decisionmaking task via a computer. On completion of the task, all participants filled out a problematic phone use scale to determine smartphone dependency and a craving intensity scale to determine cravings to use the smartphone device throughout the study. Results demonstrated no moderated mediation of cravings and smartphone dependency. However, as expected we demonstrated that smartphone presence does indeed affect decision-making performance, with participants in the smartphone condition (smartphone present) employing significantly more heuristic-based decisions (`M` = 7.59) than participants in the control condition (smartphones absent) (`M` = 6.33). Our data demonstrates that merely having a smartphone present is cognitively demanding and can increase the use of heuristics (i.e., mental shortcuts) in decision-making.
Reactive hot pressing of boehmite
Creators: name: Bradbeer, Ross Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The compaction behaviour of boehmite has been studied under isothermal conditions, with special emphasis devoted to hot pressing in the temperature range 300 to 600°C. The present work indicates that it is possible to produce a hard dense compact under certain conditions. However, the behaviour of the material during reactive hot pressing appears to be more complicated than can be explained by simple sintering or kinetic theories. To aid in understanding the mechanisms of compaction during a phase transformation, the behaviour of the system during reactive hot pressing was studied from a purely phenomenological point of view, a viscoelastic model. By using viscoelastic theory it is possible to relate ideal elastic and energy-absorbing or damping viscous parameters to the behaviour of boehmite during R.H.P. While the apparent compact density varied as a complex function of temperature, it was found that the overall compaction behaviour of boehmite could be adequately described by a second order linear differential equation, which in turn could be related to a combination of elastic (displacement sensitive) and viscous (strain rate sensitive) components. The viscous nature of the powder during R.H.P. reached a maximum value just before the boehmite to gamma transition (380 to 443°C), suggesting that strong particle interaction was occurring. It is anticipated that R.H.P. from 380 to 443°C will lead to the most favourable particle rearrangement for producing a hard gamma phase at 500°C. In producing the "hard phase" it was important to maintain a critical water concentration. Approximately 4% retained water was necessary for forming a hard dense compact. On the other hand in the presence of an excessive water vapor pressure, the unreacted boehmite powder appeared to transform directly to alpha alumina, resulting in a friable compact. Thus the need for maintaining the correct vapor pressure during R.H.P. is essential. Production of the "hard phase" material at 500°C appears promising as an intermediate step in producing strong translucent bodies upon subsequent sintering at 1000°C.

description: We investigate the role of non-thermal electrons in the formation regions of Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma lines in order to unfold their influence on the formation of these lines. We concentrate on pulse-beam heating varying on a subsecond timescale. Furthermore, we theoretically explore possibility that a new diagnostic tool exists indicating the presence of non-thermal electrons in the flaring chromosphere based on observations of optical hydrogen lines. To model the evolution of the flaring atmosphere and the time-dependent hydrogen excitation and ionisation, we used a 1-D radiative hydrodynamic code combined with a test-particle code that simulates the propagation, scattering, and thermalisation of a power-law electron beam in order to obtain the flare heating and the non-thermal collisional rates due to the interaction of the beam with the hydrogen atoms. All calculated models have shown a time-correlated response of the modelled Balmer line intensities on a subsecond timescale, with a subsecond timelag behind the beam flux. Depending on the beam parameters, both line centres and wings can show pronounced intensity variations. The non-thermal collisional rates generally result in an increased emission from a secondary region formed in the chromosphere.

description: Due to miniaturization of electronic devices new electronic packaging strategies, such as Heterogeneous Integration Packaging (HIP), are being developed. In HIP, the space in the package is strategically mapped out to maximize the placement of components including all types of materials. Thus, there is a need to develop and understand the behavior of lower-melting point metallic interconnects as they will be located next to lower melting point materials, such as polymers.The composition of alloying elements in Sn-rich solder plays a pivotal role in determining the microstructural properties of the solder joint. However, the complex mechanisms governing the solidification processes of Sn-In, and Sn-Bi alloys are still not fully understood. Furthermore, the experimental characterization of phase formation poses significant challenges.This dissertation focuses on understanding microstructural evolution in Sn-In and Sn-Bi alloys during reflow. A systematic approach to characterizing the microstructure of alloys was developed, utilizing electron microscopy, non-destructive x-ray tomography and diffraction techniques, ranging from lab-scale to synchrotron experiments. The influence of In addition on microstructure was correlated with the mechanical behavior obtained using nanoindentation. The experimental understanding was further correlated with the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. To study the Sn-Bi microstructures, the effect of experimental parameters, such as the cooling rate during solidification was elucidated. A 4D study was conducted, involving the analysis of 3D microstructures along with time evolution, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the solidification dynamics using synchrotron white beam tomography. For the first time, we observed a regular pyramidal morphology of Bi forming in the solder alloy. The 4D analysis provided crucial insights into morphology formation, growth kinetics, defect formation during solidification. The crystallographic analysis unraveled unique insights into the solid-liquid interface stability for semi-metals. Furthermore, the simultaneous Energy Dispersive Diffraction (EDD) analysis yielded a deeper understanding into the phase formation and lattice strain evolution. A fundamental relationship between the diffraction intensity and phase fractions, from imaging, was obtained. The experimental methodology developed in this work has the potential to be extended to investigate a wide range of alloy solidification mechanisms, enabling a deeper understanding of these materials.

description: In this work we show that in a microfluidic network and in low Reynolds numbers a system can be irreversible because of hysteresis effects.The network, which is employed in our simulations, is taken from recent experiments. The network consists of one loop connected to input and output pipes. A train of droplets enter the system at a uniform rate, but they may leave it in different patterns, e.g. periodic or even chaotic. The out put pattern depends on the time interval among the incoming droplets as well as the network geometry and for some parameters the system is not reversible.

description: In this work, we examine literature on creating visualizations for the performance of machine learning classifiers, with our target group being users with limited machine learning experience. The underlying data is taken from Wikipedia, and more specifically ORES - Wikimedia’s service, which employs a machine learning model to score edits and articles. The interface also expands on PreCall’s implementation, and features multiple interactive components allowing the user to dynamically adjust parameters and see the immediate change in the classifier’s performance. After providing a summary of the relevant literature, we go over the ORES API and its relevant endpoints and parameters. Then, we outline the most popular ways to visualize a machine learning classifier’s performance. Following that is a thorough description of our target group, goals, and requirements, as well as the reasoning behind each design decision. Finally, there is an overview of the design and development process and we conduct a feedback session with a machine learning expert with background in ORES, and the feedback we receive is mostly positive, with some suggestions for improvement.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Structural and compositional changes resulting from interruptions in the steady-state heat balance of an electroslag remelted ingot have been investigated on a laboratory scale electroslag furnace. An attempt was also made to solve some of the fundamental problems introduced by the proposed production of large commercial ingots in a tandem electrode change furnace. The investigation was carried out on three commercially available alloy steels: 1) EN-25, 2) AISI 4340, and 3) AISI 630 (17-4 P.H.). Power interruption experiments on EN-25 and AISI 4340 steels revealed only minor structural changes but did show carbon concentration banding. Carbon rich bands were also produced by periodic variations in the slag skin thickness. Power interruption experiments on AISI 630 produced some structural changes but no change in the concentrations of the major alloying elements was detected. The mixing action in the liquid metal pool appears to be due to a slow convective motion which causes the liquid to approach a state of complete mixing at the solidification rates found in the ESR process. A general heat balance was calculated for a 10 cm dia. ESR ingot. The various volume fractions solidified were calculated for different durations of the "power-off" mode. The results of the heat balance were extended to a large (61 cm dia.) commercial ingot and the volume solidified during a 60 second power interruption was estimated. A heat transfer program was written to determine the unsteady state temperature profiles in an electrode as a function of temperature of the slag bath and time after immersion. The resulting profiles indicated that in order to avoid any major structural and/or compositional changes during an electrode change operation, electrode preheating is mandatory.

description: In the average action approach to the quantization of gravity the fundamental requirement of "background independence" is met by actually introducing a background metric but leaving it completely arbitrary. The associated Wilsonian renormalization group defines a coarse graining flow on a theory space of functionals which, besides the dynamical metric, depend explicitly on the background metric. All solutions to the truncated flow equations known to date have a trivial background field dependence only, namely via the classical gauge fixing term. In this paper we analyze a number of conceptual issues related to the bimetric character of the gravitational average action and explore a first nontrivial bimetric truncation in the simplified setting of conformally reduced gravity. Possible implications for the Asymptotic Safety program and the cosmological constant problem are discussed in detail.

description: Precise control of surface properties including electrical characteristics, wettability, and friction is a prerequisite for manufacturing modern organic electronic devices. The successful combination of bottom up approaches for aligning and orienting the molecules and top down techniques to structure the substrate on the nano and micrometer scale allows the cost efficient fabrication and integration of future organic light emitting diodes and organic thin film transistors. One possibility for the top down patterning of a surface is to utilize different surface free energies or wetting properties of a functional group. Here, we used friction force microscopy (FFM) to reveal chemical patterns inscribed by a photolithographic process into a photosensitive surface layer. FFM allowed the simultaneous visualization of at least three different chemical surface terminations. The underlying mechanism is related to changes in the chemical interaction between probe and film surface.

description: The spherical alga Volvox swims by means of flagella on thousands of surface somatic cells. This geometry and its large size make it a model organism for studying the fluid dynamics of multicellularity. Remarkably, when two nearby Volvox swim close to a solid surface, they attract one another and can form stable bound states in which they "waltz" or "minuet" around each other. A surface-mediated hydrodynamic attraction combined with lubrication forces between spinning, bottom-heavy Volvox explains the formation, stability and dynamics of the bound states. These phenomena are suggested to underlie observed clustering of Volvox at surfaces.

Prediction and prognostication in interstitial lung disease associated pulmonary hypertension using baseline and longitudinal trends in non-invasive variables
Creators: name: Bax, Simon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) commonly occurs in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and is associated with worsening of symptoms and an adverse prognosis. The onset of PH is extremely difficult to predict due to the very similar symptomology of the two conditions and confounding of common screening tests for PH in patients with ILD. It is not clear what invasive and non-invasive variables predict mortality in ILD-PH patients, or whether existing mortality prediction tools used in ILD patients are valid in ILD-PH. I hypothesised that the prediction of PH occurring in ILD patients was possible using non invasive screening tests, and that baseline and longitudinal change in non-invasive variables would predict mortality in ILD-PH patients. The integration of echocardiographic, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), pulmonary function tests and CT variables showed that prediction of PH occurring in ILD patients was possible, although false positives were common. Echocardiographic variables best correlated with invasive right heart catheter (RHC) pressures. A score was developed to predict severe PH using echocardiographic variables, and was effective even when blinding the most powerful predictor which is commonly unavailable in patients with ILD-PH. CT is commonly employed in suspected ILD-PH patients to exclude co-existent pulmonary emboli and assess parenchymal disease progression. The right ventricle to left ventricle measured at CT pulmonary angiography was superior to both echocardiographic and RHC derived variables at predicting mortality. The presence of PH confounds commonly used mortality prediction tools in ILD. A multi modality mortality prediction model was developed to predict mortality using baseline demographics, lung function and ILD diagnosis. Longitudinal change in pulmonary function tests and BNP were shown to predict mortality. A longitudinal model using demographics and change in gas transfer was developed. External validation of the mortality prediction tools is necessary before its utility is demonstrated.

description: (abridged) We explore how ALMA observations can probe high-redshift galaxies in unprecedented detail. We discuss the main observables that are excited by the large-scale starburst, and formulate expectations for the chemistry and the fluxes in the center of active galaxies, where chemistry may be driven by the absorption of X-ray photons. We show that such X-ray dominated regions (XDRs) should be large enough to be resolved with ALMA, and predict the expected amount of emission in CO and various fine-structure lines. We discuss how such XDRs can be distinguished from a strong starburst on the same spatial scales based on the CO line SED. Our models are compared to known sources like NGC 1068 and APM 08279. We also analyze the properties of the z=6.42 quasar SDSS J114816.64+525150.3, and find that the observed emission in CO, [CII] and [CI] requires a dense warm and a low-density cold gas component. We estimate the expected number of sources at redshifts higher than 6, finding that one could expect one black hole with $10^6$ solar masses per arcmin$^2$.

description: Detecting neutrinos and photons is crucial to identifying the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), especially for transient sources. We focus on ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emission from transient sources such as gamma-ray bursts, since >EeV gamma rays can be more direct evidence of UHECRs than PeV neutrinos and GeV-TeV gamma rays. We demonstrate that coincident detections of about 1-100 events can be expected by current and future UHECR detectors such as Auger and JEM-EUSO, and the detection probability can be higher than that of neutrinos for nearby transient sources at <50-100 Mpc. They may be useful for constraining the uncertain cosmic radio background as well as knowing the source properties and maximum energy of UHECRs. They can also give us more than 10^4 times stronger limits on the Lorentz-invariance violation than current constraints.

description: The National College Entrance Examination, or Gaokao (高考), is not only a fundamental institution in contemporary China but also a major stressor and potential turning point in any Chinese student's career. The saying “one exam determines one’s whole life” (yi kao ding zhongshen 一考定终身) gets to the heart of the matter. The aim of this study is to contribute to an understanding of why this institution has been able to persist despite of its many flaws, most importantly regional inequalities and intransparencies in the admission process. I propose the theory that the system has been able to persist, among other reasons, because students have found ways to cope with it individually. In order to comprehensively examine Chinese students' coping strategies in dealing with the Gaokao, nineteen interviews with students from East China Normal University (ECNU) conducted in 2012 were analysed by means of qualitative content analysis. Following the theoretical framework by Lazarus and Folkman (1984; Folkman 2008), this paper distinguishes between problem-focused, emotion-focused and meaning-focused coping and further differentiates between prospective and reactive strategies. The results reveal that students are aware of the problems within the higher education entry system but simply consider them a given. Rather than protesting in a collective manner, students adapt to their individual circumstances and try to make the best of them: They show strategic reasoning and problem-solving skills to take matters into their own hands or find ways to cope with what cannot be changed in a positive way. Finally, to add to the discussion on the persistence of the Gaokao, students' coping strategies are interpreted as the individuals' ways to exert agency within institutional constraints.
Deformation of polycrystalline cobalt
Creators: name: Sanderson, Craig Carter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The deformation of polycrystalline cobalt has been investigated over the temperature range where the hep phase is stable (0 to 0.39 T[sub m]). The structure of cobalt following various annealing procedures has been detailed. Following heat treatment, cobalt is a two phase aggregate of fee and hep phases, A maximum of 50-60% retained fee occurs in small grained specimens (6 - 10 microns) decreasing to less than 15% retained fee for 60 micron material. The amount of retained fee phase also decreases with increasing purity. The variety of substructures arising from the rultivariant transformation are discussed. The yield stress for cobalt exhibits differing temperature dependence above and below 0.25 T[sub m]. Below 0.25 T[sub m], the 0.2% yield stress is almost temperature independent, whereas above 0.25 T[sub m]the yield stress decreases rapidly. The behaviour belov; 0.25 T[sub m] is related to the bulk transformation of retained fee phase while the decreasing stress levels observed above 0.2 5 T[sub m] are explained in terms of decreasing Peierls stress on the {1122} slip planes. The yield stress increases rapidly as the grain size is reduced. This effect is compared to similar behaviour in other hep metals that exhibit a limited number of slip systems. The ductility of cobalt is related to the retained fee phase by equations of the form ε = A (10)[sup m%fcc]. A larger fraction of retained fee phase gives rise to increased ductility. The elongation to fracture decreases as test temperature increases, reflecting obeyance of Considere's Criterion. The observed work hardening rates are high, as are the measured values for flow stress. The values are compared to data obtained for other metals that transform martensitically while undergoing deformation. Metallographic evidence is presented to substantiate the occurence of non-basal slip in cobalt above 0.25 T[sub m]. Twins having high and low shear values occur at all temperatures where the hep phase is stable. The intense surface shear resulting from transformation and continuing; dislocation production on variously oriented basal planes is discussed.

Understanding the pathogenesis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hepatitis
Creators: name: Gudd, Cathrin Luisa Carolin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Background: Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) targeting cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen- 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) are a novel class of cancer treatments, which stimulate anti-tumour immune responses. CPI treatment is frequently complicated by immune-related adverse events (irAE), including CPI- induced hepatitis (CPI-Hep), which represents one of the most common toxicities. This is a critical burden to treating malignancies, as CPI-related organ toxicities often require discontinuity of treatment and high-dose immunosuppression. This research aims to give insights into the underlying immunopathology of CPI-Hep and to highlight potential therapeutic pathways using both human samples and experimental models. Methods: Flow cytometry and gene expression assays were used for in-depth characterisation of phenotype, functionality and transcriptional immune-profile of peripheral monocyte and T cells in patients with CPI-Hep. Intra-hepatic immune cells were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Using C57BL/6 wild-type mice, stimuli of hepatic inflammation [e.g. toll-like receptor ligands (TLR-L)] in combination with CPI treatment were trialled for the induction of experimental CPI-Hep. In vivo mechanistic investigations of CPI-Hep were carried out in Rag2-/- and Ccr2rfp/rfp transgenic mice. Results: Human CPI-Hep is associated with an activated, tissue homing phenotype of peripheral CCR2highCCR7lowCD163high monocytes and HLA-DRhighICOShighTim- 3highCD8+ effector T cells with enhanced cytotoxicity. Liver biopsies mirrored the peripheral phenotype and revealed inflammatory clusters of CCR2+ macrophages with cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. In mice, co-administration of TLR9-L with CPIs mimicked human disease with mixed cytotoxic CD8+/CCR2+ monocyte/macrophage inflammatory aggregates and hepatocellular injury. In vivo investigation further revealed that CCR2+ monocytes are required for CD8+ T cell liver recruitment, while cytotoxic CD8+ T cells may play a role in mediating hepatocellular injury. Conclusions: This work provides the first characterisation of the pathogenesis of CPI- Hep and identifies CCR2-driven monocyte recruitment to the liver as potential target for therapeutic intervention to treat liver inflammation in this condition.
Effect of biased noise fluctuations on the output radiation of coherent beat laser

description: Effect of biased noise fluctuations on the degree of squeezing as well as the intensity of a radiation generated by a one-photon coherent beat laser is presented. It turns out that the radiation exhibits squeezing inside and outside the cavity under certain conditions. The degree of squeezing is enhanced by the biased noise input significantly in both regions. Despite the presence of the biased environment modes outside the cavity, the degree of squeezing outside the cavity can be greater than or equal to or even less than the cavity radiation depending on the initial preparation of the atomic superposition and amplitude of the external driving radiation. But the intensity of the radiation is found to be lesser outside the cavity regardless of these parameters.
