description: Ultralight bosons with masses in the range from $\sim 10^{-22}$ eV/$c^2$ to $\sim 1$ eV/$c^2$, are well-motivated, wave-like dark matter candidates. Particles on the lower-mass end are less explored in experiments due to their vanishingly small mass and weak coupling to the Standard Model. We propose a sensor with dual torsion pendulums for the direct detection of U(1)$_{B\!-\!L}$ gauge boson dark matter, which can achieve an enhanced differential torque sensitivity in a frequency band of $\sim 10^{-2}$-$10$ Hz due to its advantages in common-mode rejection and differential angular sensitivity. We describe the design of the differential torsion sensor and present the estimated sensitivity to an ultralight dark matter field coupled to baryon minus lepton ($B\!-\!L$) number, in a mass range of $\sim 10^{-17}$-$10^{-13}$ eV/$c^2$. Given a setup with meter-scale torsion pendulum beams and kg-scale test masses, the projected constraints on the coupling constant $g_{B\!-\!L}$ can reach $\sim 10^{-27}$ for a boson mass of $\sim 10^{-15}$ eV/$c^2$.

description: Proton-proton and proton-eta invariant mass distributions and the total cross section for the pp to pp eta reaction have been determined near the threshold at an excess energy of Q=10 MeV. The experiment has been conducted using the COSY-11 detector setup and the cooler synchrotron COSY. The determined invariant mass spectra reveal significant enhancements in the region of low proton-proton relative momenta, similarly as observed previously at higher excess energies of Q=15.5 MeV and Q= 40MeV.

We investigate the semi-classical limit of the Ooguri, Euclidean and Lorentzian EPRL models using coherent states for the boundary data. For some classes of geometrical boundary data, the asymptotic formulae are given, in all three cases, by simple functions of the Regge action for the four-simplex geometry.

description: We elucidated the core structure of screw dislocations in ordered B2 FeCo using a recent magnetic bond-order potential (BOP) [Egorov et al., Phys. Rev. Mater. 7, 044403 (2023)]. We corroborated that dislocations in B2 FeCo exist in pairs separated by antiphase boundaries. The equilibrium separation is about 50 A, which demands large-scale atomistic simulations - inaccessible for density functional theory but attainable with BOP. We performed atomistic simulations of these separated dislocations with BOP and predicted that they reside in degenerate core structures. Also, dislocations induce changes in the local electronic structure and magnetic moments.
High-energy gluon bremsstrahlung in a finite medium: harmonic oscillator versus single scattering approximation

description: A particle produced in a hard collision can lose energy through bremsstrahlung. It has long been of interest to calculate the effect on bremsstrahlung if the particle is produced inside a finite-size QCD medium such as a quark-gluon plasma. For the case of very high-energy particles traveling through the background of a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma, it is known how to reduce this problem to an equivalent problem in non-relativistic two-dimensional quantum mechanics. Analytic solutions, however, have always resorted to further approximations. One is a harmonic oscillator approximation to the corresponding quantum mechanics problem, which is appropriate for sufficiently thick media. Another is to formally treat the particle as having only a single significant scattering from the plasma (known as the N=1 term of the opacity expansion), which is appropriate for sufficiently thin media. In a broad range of intermediate cases, these two very different approximations give surprisingly similar but slightly differing results if one works to leading logarithmic order in the particle energy, and there has been confusion about the range of validity of each approximation. In this paper, I sort out in detail the parametric range of validity of these two approximations at leading logarithmic order. For simplicity, I study the problem for small alpha_s and large logarithms but alpha_s log << 1.

description: We implement Dirac neutrinos in the minimal custodial Randall-Sundrum setting via the Krauss-Wilczek mechanism. We demonstrate by giving explicit lepton mass matrices that with neutrinos in the normal hierarchy, lepton mass and mixing patterns can be naturally reproduced at the scale set by the constraints from electroweak precision measurements, and at the same time without violating bounds set by lepton flavour violations. Our scenario generically predicts a nonzero neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$, as well as the existence of sub-TeV right-handed Kaluza-Klein neutrinos, which partner the right-handed Standard Model charged leptons. These relatively light KK neutrinos may be searched for at the LHC.

Gamma-Ray Burst afterglows: theory and observations
Creators: name: Panaitescu, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I discuss some theoretical expectations for the synchrotron emission from a relativistic blast-wave interacting with the ambient medium, as a model for GRB afterglows, and compare them with observations. An afterglow flux evolving as a power-law in time, a bright optical flash during/after the burst, and a light-curve break due to a tight ejecta collimation are the major predictions that were confirmed observationally, but it should be recognized that light-curve decay indices are not correlated with the spectral slopes (as would be expected), optical flashes are quite rare, and jet-breaks harder to find in Swift X-ray afterglows. The slowing of the early optical flux decay rate is accompanied by a spectral evolution, indicating that the emission from ejecta (energized by the reverse shock) is dominant in the optical over that from the forward shock (which energizes the ambient medium) only up to 1 ks. However, a long-lived reverse shock is required to account for the slow radio flux decays observed in many afterglows after ~10 day. X-ray light-curve plateaus could be due to variations in the average energy-per-solid-angle of the blast-wave, confirming to two other anticipated features of GRB outflows: energy injection and angular structure. The latter is also the more likely origin of the fast-rises seen in some optical light-curves. To account for the existence of both chromatic and achromatic afterglow light-curve breaks, the overall picture must be even more complex and include a new mechanism that dominates occasionally the emission from the blast-wave: either late internal shocks or scattering (bulk and/or inverse-Compton) of the blast-wave emission by an outflow interior to it.

The neural basis of taste coding in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Creators: name: Cyr, Elsa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Insects possess gustatory receptor neurons that respond to different taste modalities. These neurons express receptor proteins that are tuned to specific taste molecules to elicit a response in the neuron. Taste processing has been extensively studied in Drosophila melanogaster, which makes it an ideal model to identify molecular mechanisms conserved in other insects. In this study, we explore the neural basis of taste processing in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti which utilizes its gustatory system to detect non-volatile chemosensory cues during behaviours such as blood feeding, nectar feeding, and egg laying. We hypothesize that taste processing mechanisms in A. aegypti are broadly conserved with D. melanogaster, but that mosquito-specific adaptations have evolved to support mosquito-specific behaviours. To test this, I produced a comprehensive anatomical and functional characterization of gustatory receptor neurons expressing taste receptors in the tarsi of mosquitoes. I used genetic driver lines to label sensory neurons, characterizing their anatomy and neural activity in response to taste stimuli. To investigate the anatomical map, I examined four different populations of neurons across all three legs in males and females. I found that specific populations of neurons are distributed throughout the legs, and across sexes in accordance with the behaviours they are associated with. To investigate the functional characterization of the neurons, I developed a novel protocol for live cell imaging in the tarsus during liquid tastant delivery. With this setup, I explored whether, similarly to D. melanogaster, neurons in the mosquito are broadly tuned to appetitive tastants, with overlapping populations of neurons responding to various appetitive taste molecules. I specifically tested sucrose, associated with mosquito nectar feeding behaviour, and lactic acid or low concentrations of sodium chloride, associated with blood feeding behaviour. My results show that non-overlapping populations of neurons in the mosquito respond to the appetitive tastants tested. These results are not consistent with observations in D. melanogaster but support the duality of the feeding systems in mosquitoes. Overall, this work aims to provide a better understanding of the neural coding of mosquito gustation for better understanding of the molecular basis of various key behaviour in mosquitoes.

The Effect of Gas Fraction on the Morphology and Time-scales of Disc Galaxy Mergers

description: Gas-rich galaxy mergers are more easily identified by their disturbed morphologies than mergers with less gas. Because the typical gas fraction of galaxy mergers is expected to increase with redshift, the under-counting of low gas-fraction mergers may bias morphological estimates of the evolution of galaxy merger rate. To understand the magnitude of this bias, we explore the effect of gas fraction on the morphologies of a series of simulated disc galaxy mergers. With the resulting g-band images, we determine how the time-scale for identifying major and minor galaxy mergers via close projected pairs and quantitative morphology (the Gini coefficient G, the second-order moment of the brightest 20% of the light M20, and asymmetry A) depends on baryonic gas fraction f(gas). Strong asymmetries last significantly longer in high gas-fraction mergers of all mass ratios, with time-scales ranging from >= 300 Myr for f(gas) ~ 20% to >= 1 Gyr for f(gas) ~ 50%. Therefore the strong evolution with redshift observed in the fraction of asymmetric galaxies may reflect evolution in the gas properties of galaxies rather than the global galaxy merger rate. On the other hand, the time-scale for identifying a galaxy merger via G-M20 is weakly dependent on gas-fraction (~ 200-400 Myr), consistent with the weak evolution observed for G-M20 mergers.

description: We develop the real vertex formalism for the computation of the topological string partition function with D-branes and O-planes at the fixed point locus of an anti-holomorphic involution acting non-trivially on the toric diagram of any local toric Calabi-Yau manifold. Our results cover in particular the real vertex with non-trivial fixed leg. We give a careful derivation of the relevant ingredients using duality with Chern-Simons theory on orbifolds. We show that the real vertex can also be interpreted in terms of a statistical model of symmetric crystal melting. Using this latter connection, we also assess the constant map contribution in Calabi-Yau orientifold models. We find that there are no perturbative contributions beyond one-loop, but a non-trivial sum over non-perturbative sectors, which we compare with the non-perturbative contribution to the closed string expansion.

Inclusive development and international child rights organizations : good practices and challenges of SOGIESC and LGBTIQ+ inclusion in Thailand
Creators: name: Tiansuwan, Kawin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis addresses the exclusion of sexual and gender minorities (SGMs; i.e. LGBTIQ+ persons) in international development, emphasizing the importance of recognizing SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and Sex Characteristics) rights in development policy and practice. Because binary gender distinctions and heteronormative assumptions are deeply ingrained in development, this study examines how international development organizations can break such rigid norms through SOGIESC inclusion. The study focused on both challenges and good practices, with Thailand as a case study on how SOGIESC concepts and inclusion are applied on the ground. Focusing on two children’s rights international non-government organizations (INGOs), semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight staff members. The interviews revealed practical issues around the safety of SGM-identified staff members when participating in project activities. Addressing these issues includes ensuring non-discrimination from project staff. The study demonstrates how rigid gender and sexuality norms are detrimental to the well-being of SGMs, and an obstacle to making projects more SOGIESC-inclusive. It highlights challenges of INGOs in implementing SOGIESC inclusion within their internal structures and practices. Despite staff members’ desire for clarity and support, the lack of organizational resources and expertise hinders effective mainstreaming of SOGIESC rights. Staff with expertise in LGBTIQ+ and SOGIESC rights play a pivotal role in driving organizational change. Despite these challenges, the study suggests SOGIESC mainstreaming as a viable strategy for SOGIESC inclusion in development practice and policy. It also suggests that conducting organizational and community-based context analyses with local SGM community organizations and activists is necessary for informing interventions.

description: Farber disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder resulting from acid ceramidase deficiency and subsequent ceramide accumulation. No treatments for Farber disease are clinically available, and affected patients have a severely shortened lifespan. We have recently reported a novel acid ceramidase deficiency model that mirrors the human disease closely. Acid sphingomyelinase is the enzyme that generates ceramide upstream of acid ceramidase in the lysosomes. Using our acid ceramidase deficiency model, we tested if acid sphingomyelinase could be a potential novel therapeutic target for the treatment of Farber disease. A number of functional acid sphingomyelinase inhibitors are clinically available and have been used for decades to treat major depression. Using these as a therapeutic for Farber disease, thus, has the potential to improve central nervous symptoms of the disease as well, something all other treatment options for Farber disease can’t achieve so far. As a proof-of-concept study, we first cross-bred acid ceramidase deficient mice with acid sphingomyelinase deficient mice in order to prevent ceramide accumulation. Double-deficient mice had reduced ceramide accumulation, fewer disease manifestations, and prolonged survival. We next targeted acid sphingomyelinase pharmacologically, to test if these findings would translate to a setting with clinical applicability. Surprisingly, the treatment of acid ceramidase deficient mice with the acid sphingomyelinase inhibitor amitriptyline was toxic to acid ceramidase deficient mice and killed them within a few days of treatment. In conclusion, our study provides the first proof-of-concept that acid sphingomyelinase could be a potential new therapeutic target for Farber disease to reduce disease manifestations and prolong survival. However, we also identified previously unknown toxicity of the functional acid sphingomyelinase inhibitor amitriptyline in the context of Farber disease, strongly cautioning against the use of this substance class for Farber disease patients

title: Correlation, Paleogeography, and Provenance of the Neoproterozoic Eastern Uinta Mountain Group, Goslin Mountain Area, Northeastern Utah
Creators: name: Rybczynski, Daniel J
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: Geologic mapping, facies analysis, sedimentary petrography, and detrital zircon analyses of undivided eastern Uinta Mountain Group stratigraphy are presented to better understand the depositional environments and tectonic setting of the Uinta Mountain Group basin. Subdivided units have been modified and correlated from previous work and include the Red Pine Shale, Hades Pass, Crouse Canyon, Outlaw Trail, and Diamond Breaks formations. Three lower-order maximum flooding surfaces associated with the lower Outlaw Trail formation, lower Hades Pass formation, and Red Pine Shale are interpreted. The relative magnitude of each lower-order transgression increases up section along with increasing diversity of palynomorph assemblages found in organic shale intervals. Six facies associations exist within the section and are interpreted as braided fluvial conglomerate, braided fluvial sandstone and conglomerate, braided fluvial sandstone, low-energy braided fluvial sandstone, mudflat, and offshore depositional environments. Both marine and non-marine interpretations are plausible for mudflat and offshore environments; however, previous interpretations of correlative Red Pine Shale exposures suggest a marine environment. The coarsest fluvial environments are restricted to the northern half of the study area and likely coincide with proximity to a tectonically-active northern basin margin. Paleocurrent analysis and the restriction of some subaqueous deposits to the north show northward-dipping depositional slopes, which suggest a tectonic control. Provenance work suggests three general sediment sources existed: an eastern source where ~1.1 Ga and lesser ~1.4 Ga detritus dominate, an east-northeastern source where ~1.8 Ga detritus dominate, and a north-northeastern arkosic source where ~2.7 Ga detritus dominate. Results suggest that during lower-order lowstands, sediments derived from eastern sources dominate. Higher concentrations of ~1.8 Ga and ~2.7 Ga detritus is likely coincident with proximity to the northern basin margin. During lower-order highstands, eastern or northern sources may dominate; northern sources appear more prominently within the Outlaw Trail formation, while eastern sources appear more prominently within the Red Pine Shale. Reasons for this may be linked to the magnitude of the transgressive interval sampled. These relationships, in conjunction with observations of previous studies, suggest the eastern Uinta Mountain Group was deposited in a half-graben style rift, a strike-slip basin, or some combination of the two.

This is done in the perspective of a joint result of the author with A. Uribe which relates the quantum group and the Weyl quantizations of the moduli space of flat SU(2)-connections on the tours. Two results are emphasized: the reconstruction from Weyl quantization of the restriction to the torus of the modular functor, and a description of a basis of the space of quantum observables on the torus in terms of colored curves, which answers a question related to quantum computing.

Empirical Constraints on the Oblateness of an Exoplanet

description: We show that the gas giant exoplanet HD 189733b is less oblate than Saturn, based on Spitzer Space Telescope photometry of seven transits. The observable manifestations of oblatenesswould have been slight anomalies during the ingress and egress phases, as well as variations in the transit depth due to spin precession. Our nondetection of these effects gives the first empirical constraints on the shape of an exoplanet. The results are consistent with the theoretical expectation that the planetary rotation period and orbital period are synchronized, in which case the oblateness would be an order of magnitude smaller than our upper limits. Conversely, if HD 189733b is assumed to be in a synchronous, zero-obliquity state, then the data give an upper bound on the quadrupole moment of the planet (J2 < 0.068 with 95% confidence) that is too weak to constrain the interior structure of the planet. An Appendix describes a fast algorithm for computing the transit light curve of an oblate planet, which was necessary for our analysis.

description: Este estudo aborda o tema da política de financiamento para as instituições integrantes do Sistema de Educação Superior do Estado da Bahia, tomando-se como recorte da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS). Para tanto, o estudo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa exploratório-descritiva, bibliográfica e documental, com o objetivo de identificar dimensões relevantes à compreensão das demandas por recursos públicos no processo de financiamento dessa instituição, no período de 2005 a 2014. Esses resultados apontam para a identificação de três dimensões subjacentes à compreensão desse fenômeno: a oferta de atividades universitárias (dimensão acadêmica); a política de educação docente, de valorização do corpo técnico administrativo e de assistência estudantil (dimensão política); e a demanda por infraestrutura, no que se refere à manutenção e expansão dos investimentos em ativos fixos, laboratórios e tecnologia da informação econômica. O estudo sistematiza ainda contribuições para subsidiar a discussão, implementação e aperfeiçoamento da política de financiamento para esse Sistema Estadual de Educação Superior, e procurar superar incompreensões políticas e teórico-metodológicos na discussão do papel e eliminar essas universidades estaduais no contexto dos sistemas públicos de educação superior no Brasil.

description: This study aimed to determine the specific physical and basic gymnastics skills considered critical in gymnastics talent identification and selection as well as in promoting men’s artistic gymnastics performances. Fifty-one boys from a provincial gymnastics team (age 11.03 ± 0.95 years; height 1.33 ± 0.05 m; body mass 30.01 ± 5.53 kg; body mass index [BMI] 16.89 ± 3.93 kg/m²) regularly competing at national level voluntarily participated in this study. Anthropometric measures as well as the men’s artistic gymnastics physical test battery (i.e., International Gymnastics Federation [FIG] age group development programme) were used to assess the somatic and physical fitness profile of participants, respectively. The physical characteristics assessed were: muscle strength, flexibility, speed, endurance, and muscle power. Test outcomes were subjected to a principal components analysis to identify the most representative factors. The main findings revealed that power speed, isometric and explosive strength, strength endurance, and dynamic and static flexibility are the most determinant physical fitness aspects of the talent selection process in young male artistic gymnasts. These findings are of utmost importance for talent identification, selection, and development.

description: We report the first experimental observation of strong multifractality in wave functions at the Anderson localization transition in open three-dimensional elastic networks. Our results confirm the recently predicted symmetry of the multifractal exponents. We have discovered that the result of multifractal analysis of the real data depends on the excitation scheme used in the experiment.

description: We show that new low-energy photoluminescence (PL) bands can be created in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes by intense pulsed excitation. The new bands are attributed to PL from different nominally dark excitons that are "brightened" due to defect-induced mixing of states with different parity and/or spin. Time-resolved PL studies on single nanotubes reveal a significant reduction of the bright exciton lifetime upon brightening of the dark excitons. The lowest energy dark state has longer lifetimes and is not in thermal equilibrium with the bright state.

description: This paper is devoted to investigating the centre of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ via establishing the Harish-Chandra homomorphism. Based on the Rosso form and the representation theory of weight modules, we prove that when rank $\mathfrak{g}$ is even, the Harish-Chandra homomorphism is an isomorphism, and in particular, the centre of the quantum group $\breve{U}_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ of the weight lattice type is a polynomial algebra $\mathbb{K}[z_{\varpi_1},\cdots,z_{\varpi_n}]$, where canonical central elements $z_λ\; (λ\in Λ^+)$ are turned out to be uniformly expressed. For rank $\mathfrak{g}$ to be odd, we figure out a new invertible extra central generator $z_*$, which doesn't survive in $U_q(\mathfrak g)$, then the centre of $\breve{U}_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ contains $\mathbb{K}[z_{\varpi_1},\cdots,z_{\varpi_n}]\otimes_\mathbb K\mathbb K[z_*^{\frac{1}{\ell}}, z_*^{-\frac{1}{\ell}}]$, where $\ell=2$, except $\ell=4$ for $D_{2k+1}$.

description: We study the space of geometric and open string moduli of type IIB compactifications from the perspective of complex structure deformations of F-theory. In order to find a correspondence, we work in the weak coupling limit and for simplicity focus on compactifications to 6 dimensions. Starting from the topology of D7-branes and O7-planes, we construct the 3-cycles of the F-theory threefold. We achieve complete agreement between the degrees of freedom of the Weierstrass model and the complex structure deformations of the elliptic Calabi-Yau. All relevant quantities are expressed in terms of the topology of the base space, allowing us to formulate our results for general base spaces.

description: Exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane is induced by infection with several members of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily. There is evidence that PS is used by the equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) during entry, but the exact role of PS and other phospholipids in the entry process remains unknown. Here, we investigated the interaction of differently charged phospholipids with virus particles and determined their influence on infection. Our data show that liposomes containing negatively charged PS or positively charged DOTAP (N-[1-(2,3-Dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium) inhibited EHV-1 infection, while neutral phosphatidylcholine (PC) had no effect. Inhibition of infection with PS was transient, decreased with time, and was dose dependent. Our findings indicate that both cationic and anionic phospholipids can interact with the virus and reduce infectivity, while, presumably, acting through different mechanisms. Charged phospholipids were found to have antiviral effects and may be used to inhibit EHV-1 infection.

description: The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the anthropometrical and fitness parameters in urban-rural boys and girls in the age of 7-11 years old in Golestan, Iran and consider the relationship between them. 1224 boys and girls (7-11 years old) were selected as sample from three urban areas and sex rural areas in Golestan. Standing height, weight, body mass index, percentage of body as anthropometrical variables and 40 m dash, standing long jump, sit and reach, handgrip, sit-up and 10× 4 m running as fitness variables were measured. The data were analyses using mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation (P< 0.05). The results showed that boys were better than girls in height, weight, standing long jump and sit-up items. The girls, also, had higher scores than boys in percentage of body fat. The urban children were better than rural in weight, standing long jump and sit-up. The rural girls had lower scores in handgrip rather than other groups. Correlation results showed that height positively and weight negatively had a correlation with running and jumping tasks. Weight had a positive correlation with handgrip item. The results are discussed in positive effect of better living condition on growth and fitness on the children in rural areas.

description: In a recent Comment, Decca et al. [Phys. Rev. A 79, 026101 (2009); arXiv:0809.3576] discussed the origin of the anomalies recently reported by us in Phys. Rev. A 78, 036102(R) (2008); arXiv:0812.0028 . Here we restate our view, corroborated by their considerations, that quantitative geometrical and electrostatic characterizations of the conducting surfaces (a topic not discussed explicitly in the literature until very recently) are critical for the assessment of precision and accuracy of the demonstration of the Casimir force and for deriving meaningful limits on the existence of Yukawian components possibly superimposed to the Newtonian gravitational interaction.
