description: A key limitation of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), an established and powerful tool for studying atomic-scale biomolecular structure and dynamics is its poor sensitivity, samples containing in excess of 10^12 labeled biomolecules are required in typical experiments. In contrast, single molecule measurements provide improved insights into heterogeneous behaviors that can be masked by ensemble measurements and are often essential for illuminating the molecular mechanisms behind the function of a biomolecule. We report EPR measurements of a single labeled biomolecule that merge these two powerful techniques. We selectively label an individual double-stranded DNA molecule with a single nanodiamond containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, and optically detect the paramagnetic resonance of NV spins in the nanodiamond probe. Analysis of the spectrum reveals that the nanodiamond probe has complete rotational freedom and that the characteristic time scale for reorientation of the nanodiamond probe is slow compared to the transverse spin relaxation time. This demonstration of EPR spectroscopy of a single nanodiamond labeled DNA provides the foundation for the development of single molecule magnetic resonance studies of complex biomolecular systems.

The Political Possibilities of Remembering Rogers Road
Creators: name: Weiner, Solomon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: This paper explores how five residents of the Rogers Road neighborhood in Orange County, North Carolina, remember and express their political views through narratives. In particular, it focuses on how those older people understand the physical landscape as being shaped by desegregation and municipal development. Ultimately, it argues that the residents interviewed use desegregation, the landfill opening, and other changes in municipal infrastructure to explain one another. Further, it also argues that there should be a place for localized experience––including narratives and folk traditions––in public policymaking in order to better inform those processes. This paper uses interviews, historical and archival research, newspapers, and ethnography to explore how residents turn their understandings of landscape and local history into political ideology and action.
Nuclear dynamics at molecule-metal interfaces: A pseudoparticle perspective

description: We discuss nuclear dynamics at molecule-metal interfaces including non-equilibrium molecular junctions. Starting from the many-body states (pseudoparticle) formulation of the molecule-metal system in the molecular vibronic basis, we introduce gradient expansion in order to reduce the adiabatic nuclear dynamics (that is, nuclear dynamics on a single molecular potential surface) into its semi-classical form while maintaining the effect of the non-adiabatic electronic transitions between different molecular charge states. This yields a set of equations for the nuclear dynamics in the presence of these non-adiabatic transitions, which reproduce surface hopping formulation in the limit of small metal-molecule coupling (where broadening of the molecular energy levels can be disregarded) and Ehrenfest dynamics (motion on the potential of mean force) when information on the different charging states is traced out, which is relevant when this coupling is strong.

description: در دوران همه گیری کووید- 19 و غیر­حضوری شدن آموزش، مشکلات زیادی برای والدین و دست­اندرکاران آموزش به خصوص در مدارس ابتدایی به دلیل بی سابقه بودن شرایط پیش آمده و نبود تجربه قبلی و الگوی مدون ایجاد شد. هدف از این مطالعه کیفی کاوش تجارب والدین، معلمان، مدیران مدراس در این دوران به منظور ارائه الگویی تجربی از فرایند مشارکت والدین در آموزش مجازی دانش آموزان مدارس ابتدایی است. داده های پژوهش از طریق مصاحبه های نیمه­ ساختار­یافته با والدین، معلمان و مدیران مدارس ابتدایی شهر تهران در سال تحصیلی 1399 و 1400 گردآوری شد. داده های به دست آمده در دو مرحله کدگذاری دور اول و کدگذاری دور دوم یا کدگذاری الگو بر اساس روش های کدگذاری اکتشافی مایلز و همکاران (2020) ، تحلیل شد. یافته های پژوهش نشان داد عوامل سه گانه بهبود تجربیات آموزشی دانش ­آموزان، حمایت عاطفی و تعامل و ارتباط با محیط و مدرسه، والدین را به سوی «مشارکت در آموزش مجازی دانش ­آموزان» سوق می دهد. این مشارکت در دو بعد مراقبت آموزشی و نظارت و کنترل فرزندان نمود پیدا می کند. مشارکت والدین و اجتماع مدرسه در شرایط یکسانی رخ نمی دهد و متأثر از عوامل نهادی و زیرساختی، استفاده از توانایی­ های والدین در اجرای برنامۀ­ درسی و حمایت آن ها از یادگیری فرزندان است. شرکت کنندگان گزارش دادند کاربرد روش­ های تعاونی و کمک ­رسانی و روش ­های مبتنی بر فعالیت­ های اجتماعی منجر به درک مشارکت والدین به عنوان ضرورتی اجتماعی و مدنی شد و در بهبود فرایندهای تدریس و یادگیری دانش آموزان اثر داشت. نتایج حاصل از این پژوهش می­تواند به عنوان چارچوبی برای مدارس و مؤسسات آموزشی در جهت استفاده از ظرفیت والدین خصوصاً در آموزش مجازی به عنوان راهبردی مکمل مورد استفاده قرار گیرد

description: The instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will be increased up to a factor of five with respect to the present design value by undergoing an extensive upgrade program over the coming decade. The most important upgrade project for the ATLAS Muon System is the replacement of the present first station in the forward regions with the so-called New Small Wheels (NSWs). The NSWs will be installed during the LHC long shutdown in 2018/19. Small-Strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC) detectors are designed to provide fast trigger and high precision muon tracking under the high luminosity LHC conditions. To validate the design, a full-size prototype sTGC detector of approximately 1.2 $\times$ $1.0\, \mathrm{m}^2$ consisting of four gaps has been constructed. Each gap provides pad, strip and wire readouts. The sTGC intrinsic spatial resolution has been measured in a $32\, \mathrm{GeV}$ pion beam test at Fermilab. At perpendicular incidence angle, single gap position resolutions of about $50\,\mathrm{μm}$ have been obtained, uniform along the sTGC strip and perpendicular wire directions, well within design requirements. Pad readout measurements have been performed in a $130\, \mathrm{GeV}$ muon beam test at CERN. The transition region between readout pads has been found to be $4\,\mathrm{mm}$, and the pads have been found to be fully efficient.

description: Based on first principles calculations and self-consistent solution of linearized Boltzmann-Peierls equation for phonon transport approach within a three-phonon scattering framework, we characterize lattice thermal conductivities k of freestanding silicene, germanene and stanene under different isotropic tensile strains and temperatures. We find a strong size dependence of k for silicene with tensile strain, i.e., divergent k with increasing system size, in contrast, the intrinsic room temperature k for unstrained silicene converges with system size to 19.34 W/m-K by 178 nm. The room temperature k of strained silicene becomes as large as that of bulk silicon by 84 um, indicating the possibility of using strain in silicene to manipulate k for thermal management. The relative contribution to the intrinsic k from out-of-plane acoustic modes is largest for unstrained silicene, about 39% at room temperature. The single mode relaxation time approximation, which works reasonably well for bulk silicon, fails to appropriately describe phonon thermal transport in silicene, germanene and stanene within the temperature range considered. For large samples of silicene, k increases with tensile strain, peaks at about 7% strain and then decreases with further strain. In germanene and stanene increasing strain hardens and stabilizes long wavelength out-of-plane acoustic phonons, and leads to similar k behaviors to those of silicene. These findings further our understanding of phonon dynamics in group-IV buckled monolayers and may guide transfer and fabrication techniques of these freestanding samples and engineering k by size and strain for applications of thermal management and thermoelectricity.

description: Non-resonant dressing fields can make the transition frequency between two circular Rydberg states insensitive to second order variations in the dc electric field. Perturbation theory can be used to establish the required dressing field amplitude and frequency. The same perturbative approach may be used to understand removal of the first order dependence of the transition frequency on electric field about a bias dc electric field [Hyafil et al. Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 93, 103001 (2004)]. The directional alignment of the dressing and dc fields is critical in determining the electric field sensitivity of the dressed transition frequencies. This sensitivity is significantly larger for circular Rydberg states compared to low-angular momentum Rydberg states of Rb.

Higgs bosons in supersymmetric model with CP-violating potential

description: In the supersymmetric standard model which is not minimal, the Higgs potential does not conserve CP symmetry generally. Assuming that there exists an SU(2)-triplet Higgs field, we discuss resultant CP-violating effects on the Higgs bosons. The experimentally observed Higgs boson, which should be CP-even in the standard model, could decay into two photons of CP-odd polarization state non-negligibly. For the second lightest Higgs boson, in sizable region of parameter space, the dominant decay modes are different from those expected by the standard model. The two-photon decay could yield both even and odd CP final states at a ratio of oder of unity.

description: Solar observations in the infrared domain can bring important clues on the response of the low solar atmosphere to primary energy released during flares. At present the infrared continuum has been detected at 30 THz (10 $μ$m) in only a few flares. In this work we present a detailed multi-frequency analysis of SOL2012-03-13, including observations at radio millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths, in hard X-rays (HXR), gamma-rays (GR), H-alpha, and white-light. HXR/GR spectral analysis shows that the event is a GR line flare and allows estimating the numbers of and energy contents in electrons, protons and alpha particles produced during the flare. The energy spectrum of the electrons producing the HXR/GR continuum is consistent with a broken power-law with an energy break at ~800 keV. It is shown that the high-energy part (above ~800 keV) of this distribution is responsible for the high-frequency radio emission (> 20 GHz) detected during the flare. By comparing the 30 THz emission expected from semi-empirical and time-independent models of the quiet and flare atmospheres, we find that most (~80%) of the observed 30 THz radiation can be attributed to thermal free-free emission of an optically-thin source. Using the F2 flare atmospheric model this thin source is found to be at temperatures T~8000 K and is located well above the minimum temperature region. We argue that the chromospheric heating, which results in 80% of the 30 THz excess radiation, can be due to energy deposition by non-thermal flare accelerated electrons, protons and alpha particles. The remaining 20% of the 30 THz excess emission is found to be radiated from an optically-thick atmospheric layer at T~5000 K, below the temperature minimum region, where direct heating by non-thermal particles is insufficient to account for the observed infrared radiation.

This model constitutive model achieves robustness, computational efficiency, and accuracy in modeling masonry structures under multiaxial stress conditions by (1) overcoming the singularity problem that arises from the interaction between the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion and the Rankine failure criterion, and (2) using the strain-hardening/softening hypothesis to improve the numerical robustness of the solution during the evolution of the yield surfaces.

description: The minimal area for surfaces whose border are rectangular and circular loops are calculated using the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation. This amounts to solve the HJ equation for the value of the minimal area, without calculating the shape of the corresponding surface. This is done for bulk geometries that are asymptotically AdS. For the rectangular countour, the HJ equation, which is separable, can be solved exactly. For the circular countour an expansion in powers of the radius is implemented. The HJ approach naturally leads to a regularization which consists in locating the countour away from the border. The results are compared with other regularization which leaves the countour at the border and calculates the area of the corresponding minimal surface up to a diameter smaller than the one of the countour at the border. The results do not coincide, this is traced back to the fact that in the former case the area of a minimal surface is calculated and in the second the computed area corresponds to a fraction of a different minimal surface whose countour lies at the boundary.

description: Field margins are major habitats for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning in agricultural landscapes, but biotic homogenization of plant communities threatens their ecological and agronomic functions. Our objective is to determine the drivers of plant diversity in field margins for conservation and restoration purposes. To do so, we assessed the effects of field margin structure and long-term management over 20 years (1995–2015) on the taxonomic and functional α- and β-diversity, and the functional composition of herbaceous plant communities. In 2015, we surveyed 302 field margins in bocage landscapes of Brittany, north-western France. Results were very similar between taxonomic and functional diversity but revealed important discrepancies between the drivers of α- and β-diversity. Deep ditches, mowing and grazing increased α-diversity but did not affect β-diversity. Denser hedgerows had lower α-diversity than other field margins but strongly contributed to β-diversity by harbouring more unique sets of species or life strategies. Long-term herbicide spraying in field margins and cropping intensity in adjacent habitats did not affect α-diversity, but had more complex effects on β-diversity and selected for common weeds. All in all, preservation of dense hedgerows, abandonment of herbicide spraying, and protection against agrochemical drifts are key measures to prevent the establishment of common weeds and biotic homogenization of herbaceous plant communities in field margins. Above all, our study shows how important it is to go beyond α-diversity to make robust conservation and restoration decisions.

Diagnosis and Quantitative Assessment of Mandibular Asymmetry Using CBCT Image Volumes
Creators: name: AlHadidi, Abeer
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Objectives: To compare two methods of measuring mandibular asymmetry. The first method uses mirroring of the mandible in the midsagittal plane; the second uses arbitrary mirroring of the mandible and registration on the cranial base. Methods: Surface models were constructed from CBCT scans of 50 patients with asymmetry. For the first approach, a midsagittal plane was defined for each patient as the plane passing through Nasion, ANS, and Basion. Mirrors for both halves of the mandible were created. The second approach was to mirror each model on an arbitrary plane. Both original and arbitrarily mirrored images were registered on the cranial base. Surface distances between hemimandibles and mirrors were calculated for nine regions. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the mean surface distance measurements obtained with the two approaches, and comparing both halves in most areas. Conclusion: Both mirroring techniques provided similarquantification of mandibular asymmetry in this cohort.

description: To obtain the moisture distribution inside a polymer foam after drying in a conveyor belt system in real time, a Multistatic Uniform Diffraction Tomography (MUDT) imaging algorithm is proposed. It is estimated that MUDT provides a better spatial resolution than the original uniform diffraction tomography (UDT). Additionally, it allows to resolve the distribution of the different scatterers, which is shown by simulation result.

description: We explore the impact of adding emotional-intelligence and social-emotional skill-building exercises to a Career and Life Planning (CLP) course for college undergraduates. Using a non-randomized quasi-experimental design we will compare, over time (pre- and post-class) students (1) in the "EI" CLP course, (2) in the "as usual" CLP course, and/or as fitting (3) in an alternative course such as Introductory Psychology or a General Pre-Professional Internship course. We expect that students in the EI course will show greater EI/SE-related outcomes at the end of the class, relative to before the class, compared to those in the comparison conditions. Also, within the "EI" course, we will examine the impact of different aspects of course / content /assignment engagement, with a particular focus on EI content, to determine the impact on psychosocial wellbeing outcomes at the end of the course. We expect that the more students engage with the EI content (through attendance and EI skill-building assignments), the better their EI/SE-related outcomes will be at the end of the course, relative to the start of the course.

description: Dependence of mode instabilities (MI) on ytterbium dopant concentrations in high power fiber amplifiers has been investigated. It is theoretically shown that, by only varying the fiber length to maintain the same total small-signal pump absorption, the MI threshold is independent of dopant concentration. MI thresholds of gain fibers with ytterbium dopant concentration of 5.93X10^25/m3 and 1.02X10^26/m3 have been measured, which exhibit similar thresholds and agree with theoretical results. The result indicates that heavy doping of active fiber can be adopted to suppress nonlinear effects without decreasing MI threshold, which provides a method of maximizing the power output of fiber laser, taking into account the stimulated Brillouin scattering, stimulated Raman Scattering, and MI thresholds simultaneously.

description: Context. Atomic data is crucial for astrophysical investigations. To understand the formation and evolution of stars, we need to analyse their observed spectra. Analysing a spectrum of a star requires information about the properties of atomic lines, such as wavelengths and oscillator strengths. However, atomic data of some elements are scarce, particularly in the infrared region, and this paper is part of an effort to improve the situation on near-IR atomic data. Aims. This paper investigates the spectrum of neutral scandium, Sc i, from laboratory measurements and improves the atomic data of Sc i lines in the infrared region covering lines in R, I, J, and K bands. Especially, we focus on measuring oscillator strengths for Sc i lines connecting the levels with 4p and 4s configurations. Methods. We combined experimental branching fractions with radiative lifetimes from the literature to derive oscillator strengths (f - values). Intensity-calibrated spectra with high spectral resolution were recorded with Fourier transform spectrometer from a hollow cathode discharge lamp. The spectra were used to derive accurate oscillator strengths and wavelengths for Sc i lines, with emphasis on the infrared region. Results. This project provides the first set of experimental Sc i lines in the near-infrared region for accurate spectral analysis of astronomical objects. We derived 63 log(g f ) values for the lines between 5300Å and 24300Å. The uncertainties in the f -values vary from 5% to 20%. The small uncertainties in our values allow for an increased accuracy in astrophysical abundance determinations.
