description: Even though the effect of antibody affinity on neutralization potency is well documented, surprisingly, its impact on neutralization breadth and escape has not been systematically determined. Here, random mutagenesis and DNA shuffling of the single-chain variable fragment of the neutralizing antibody 80R followed by bacterial display screening using anchored periplasmic expression (APEx) were used to generate a number of higher-affinity variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-neutralizing antibody 80R with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) as low as 37 pM, a >270-fold improvement relative to that of the parental 80R single-chain variable fragment (scFv). As expected, antigen affinity was shown to correlate directly with neutralization potency toward the icUrbani strain of SARS-CoV. Additionally, the highest-affinity antibody fragment displayed 10-fold-increased broad neutralization in vitro and completely protected against several SARS-CoV strains containing substitutions associated with antibody escape. Importantly, higher affinity also led to the suppression of viral escape mutants in vitro. Escape from the highest-affinity variant required reduced selective pressure and multiple substitutions in the binding epitope. Collectively, these results support the hypothesis that engineered antibodies with picomolar dissociation constants for a neutralizing epitope can confer escape-resistant protection.

description: The prevalence and energetics of quasar feedback is a major unresolved problem in galaxy formation theory. In this paper, we present Gemini Integral Field Unit observations of ionized gas around eleven luminous, obscured, radio-quiet quasars at z~0.5 out to ~15 kpc from the quasar; specifically, we measure the kinematics and morphology of [O III]5007 emission. The round morphologies of the nebulae and the large line-of-sight velocity widths (with velocities containing 80% of the emission as high as 1000 km/s combined with relatively small velocity difference across them (from 90 to 520 km/s) point toward wide-angle quasi-spherical outflows. We use the observed velocity widths to estimate a median outflow velocity of 760 km/s, similar to or above the escape velocities from the host galaxies. The line-of-sight velocity dispersion declines slightly toward outer parts of the nebulae (by 3% per kpc on average). The majority of nebulae show blueshifted excesses in their line profiles across most of their extents, signifying gas outflows. For the median outflow velocity, we find a kinetic energy flow between 4x10^{44} and 3x10^{45} erg/s and mass outflow rate between 2000 and 20000 Msun/yr. These values are large enough for the observed quasar winds to have a significant impact on their host galaxies. The median rate of converting bolometric luminosity to kinetic energy of ionized gas clouds is ~2%. We report four new candidates for "super-bubbles" -- outflows that may have broken out of the denser regions of the host galaxy.

description: The WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) paradigm for dark matter is currently being probed via many different experiments. Direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches are all hoping to catch a glimpse of these elusive particles. Here, we examine the potential of the ILC (International Linear Collider) to shed light on the origin of dark matter. By using an effective field theory approach we are also able to compare the reach of the ILC with that of the other searches. We find that for low mass dark matter (< 10 GeV), the ILC offers a unique opportunity to search for WIMPS beyond any other experiment. In addition, if dark matter happens to only couple to leptons or via a spin dependent interaction, the ILC can give an unrivalled window to these models. We improve on previous ILC studies by constructing a comprehensive list of effective theories that allows us to move beyond the non-relativistic approximation.

description: We proved the existence of a universal flexo-antiferrodistortive coupling as a necessary complement to the well-known flexoelectric coupling. The coupling is universal for all antiferrodistortive systems and can lead to the formation of incommensurate, spatially-modulated phases in multiferroics. Our analysis can provide a self-consistent mesoscopic explanation for a broad range of modulated domain structures observed experimentally in multiferroics.

description: We present a non-parametric method to measure inhomogeneities in the intracluster medium (ICM) from X-ray observations of galaxy clusters. Analysing mock Chandra X-ray observations of simulated clusters, we show that our new method enables the accurate recovery of the 3D gas density and gas clumping factor profiles out to large radii of galaxy clusters. We then apply this method to Chandra X-ray observations of Abell 1835 and present the first determination of the gas clumping factor from the X-ray cluster data. We find that the gas clumping factor in Abell 1835 increases with radius and reaches ~2-3 at r=R_{200}. This is in good agreement with the predictions of hydrodynamical simulations, but it is significantly below the values inferred from recent Suzaku observations. We further show that the radially increasing gas clumping factor causes flattening of the derived entropy profile of the ICM and affects physical interpretation of the cluster gas structure, especially at the large cluster-centric radii. Our new technique should be useful for improving our understanding of the cluster structure and to advance the use of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes, by helping to exploit rich data sets provided by Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray space telescopes.

Highly magnetized region in pulsar wind nebulae and origin of the Crab gamma-ray flares
Creators: name: Lyubarsky, Y. E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The recently discovered gamma-ray flares from the Crab nebula are generally attributed to the magnetic energy release in a highly magnetized region within the nebula. I argue that such a region naturally arises in the polar region of the inner nebula. In pulsar winds, efficient dissipation of the Poynting flux into the plasma energy occur only in the equatorial belt where the energy is predominantly transferred by alternating fields. At high latitudes, the pulsar wind remains highly magnetized therefore the termination shock in the polar region is weak and the postshock flow remains relativistic. I study the structure of this flow and show that the flow at first expands and decelerates and then it converges and accelerates. In the converging part of the flow, the kink instability triggers the magnetic dissipation. The energy release zone occurs at the base of the observed jet. A specific turbulence of relativistically shrinking magnetic loops efficiently accelerates particles so that the synchrotron emission in the hundreds MeV band, both persistent and flaring, comes from this site.

description: It is well known that the classical Gauss sum, normalized by the square-root number of terms, takes only finitely many values. If one restricts the range of summation to a subinterval, a much richer structure emerges. We prove a limit law for the value distribution of such incomplete Gauss sums. The limit distribution is given by the distribution of a certain family of periodic functions. Our results complement Oskolkov's pointwise bounds for incomplete Gauss sums as well as the limit theorems for quadratic Weyl sums (theta sums) due to Jurkat and van Horne and the second author.

An Analysis of materials suitable for use as a pitfall trap in a desert environment
Creators: name: Brown, R. Renee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: The purpose of this study is to identify a type of pitfall trap container that can withstand the temperature extremes of the Mojave Desert in which the terrestrial, or above ground, drift fence with pitfall traps will be utilized for trapping reptiles. A pitfall trap is a container, such as a plastic bucket with a plastic lid, that is buried in the ground up to the lip of the bucket and used to catch small ground dwelling fauna that fall into the trap. Many different pitfall trap materials have been utilized in the trapping of small ground-dwelling fauna. Plastic has been the most common material used in pitfall trap containers, or buckets, in many different climates around the world. However, plastic is probably a very inefficient material for pitfall trap containers utilized in a desert environment due to extremely dry conditions and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Pitfall trap containers have been used for trapping small ground-dwelling fauna in many regions of the world. Plastic pitfall trap containers have been a common trapping method utilized for trapping small ground-dwelling fauna. Plastic buckets and other containers are used in reptile surveys in order for scientists to survey the health and well being of individual reptiles. Reptiles are examined, weighed and measured.
The Contribution of environmental variables on small mammal species richness and relative abundance in Eastern Nevada
Creators: name: Harris, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study is to determine how four environmental variables:
elevation, latitude, soil type, and vegetation impact the relative abundance of Peromyscus
maniculatus and the species richness of small mammal populations in Eastern Nevada. In
order to complete this study, a survey of small mammals was completed in the following
8 Eastern Nevada valleys: Delamar, Dry Lake, Dry Lake- Muleshoe,Cave, Lake, Snake,
Spring, White River. In each valley, transects of Sherman live traps will be set up for 3
consecutive nights (O'Farrell et al 1977). Data on elevation, latitude, soil type, and
vegetation were taken at each trap site. Non-parametric PLR was then used to assess
which variables were significant in determining P. maniculatus relative abundance and
overall species richness. Polytomous logistic regression showed that soil was the only
significant variable in determining species richness and relative abundance with a P-value
of<.001.

The Fate and transport of nitrogen (N) and the effect of emergent plants on natural treatment of N-species at Las Vegas Wash, Nevada
Creators: name: Kiriscioglu, Tanju
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of emergent plant communities at Las Vegas Wash (the System) using a system dynamics modeling approach. Understanding the dynamics of nitrogen (N major polluting nutrient in the Wash) that enters the System is important because it occasionally causes algal blooms, choking Lake Mead through excessive eutrophication. Emergent plant communities are an integral part of wetland ecosystems and they play a crucial role in natural treatment of nutrients. This study is intended to test this hypothesis.
The study makes use of Wash data from reliable sources (Las Vegas Valley Water District, Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee, USGS, Clark County Sanitation District, and literature review) to examine spatial and temporal changes of different nitrogen species; to describe causal relationships between major environmental variables and feedback mechanisms that make up the System; to ascertain major inflows and outflows (rates at which a variable enters or exits a stock), stocks (the accumulation of a variable within the system), sources, and sinks; and to simulate the System's behavior over time by changing the values of the environmental variables that make up the model. The model will help us identify policy levers hi the System including the effect of emergent plant communities.
The study is important because there is an ongoing restoration of the wetlands at the Las Vegas Wash and it is critical to understand how the nutrients accumulate and flow through the System. Efficient management of the wetland plant communities is crucial for the improvement of the biological treatment that takes place there. The dynamics of nutrient accumulation at these plant communities need to be understood better to evaluate means for managing the removal of nitrogen from the System most effectively: The model is intended to simulate results of harvesting emergent plants before they become detritus through litter fall.

Antimicrobial activity of d-lenolate®
Creators: name: Phui, Andy
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Olive trees are one of the most important fruit trees in the Mediterranean. Although not validated by research, olive leaves are traditionally believed to fight off fever and infections. It has been shown that olive leaf extracts possess antimicrobial activity. Olive leaf extracts contain polyphenols. One of the major phenolic compounds is oleuropein. Oleuropein and other polyphenols have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial activity.

East Park Research (EPR) developed an extraction process that they claim does not alter the chemical composition of the olive leaves. The extract is known by the commercial name d-lenolate®. Studies have provided evidence that d-lenolate®, like other olive leaf extracts, has antimicrobial activity against different pathogens. However, the active antimicrobial compound(s) of d-lenolate® has not been identified.

The purpose of this study was to purify the active compounds of d-lenolate® and evaluate their antimicrobial activity. Different chromatographic methods were used to fractionate d-lenolate®. Disk diffusion and growth inhibition tests were performed to test for antimicrobial activity.

We found that fractions of d-lenolate® extracts devoid of oleuropein were significantly more active than purified oleuropein. Interestingly, compounds from extracts that possess antimicrobial activity based on our results were shown to lose the trait when purified. Whether the d-lenolate® extracts or purified compounds provide greater antimicrobial properties in this study is not conclusive. However, the data demonstrated that d-lenolate® extracts at 1 mg/ml do not possess 100% antimicrobial activity, but only delays the growth of Bacillus anthracis and Escherichia coli.
Association of body mass index, fruit and vegetable intake, and acculturation in a sample Las Vegas Hispanic population
Creators: name: Bolstad, Anne L.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The U.S. is experiencing a rising prevalence of overweightedness that has been identified as the second leading cause for chronic health conditions threatening public health. Overweightedness has grown disproportionately among ethnic sub-groups. In the fastest going minority population in the U.S., Hispanic Americans are observed with disparately high body mass index, placing them at heightened risk for poor health outcomes. Research suggests five servings of fruit and vegetables, in any combination, provides a sound nutritional base for healthful living and helps to maintain normal body weight.

Americans are known to have poor eating habits while foreign-born populations have well balanced diets that are plentiful in fruit and vegetables. With migration and acculturation to the U.S., migrant diets frequently deteriorate into the poor eating habits of the typical American. The greatest differences are noted between first- and second-generation, however, the negative impact remains relatively unchanged from that point forward.

This study conducts an analysis of secondary data to determine the relationship of overweightedness and fruit and vegetable consumption in a survey sample of Hispanics living in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Secondly, it evaluates the relationship of fruit and vegetable consumption and acculturation, measured by language of preference.

In a sample of 318 respondents, fruit and vegetable consumption was non-significant in association to healthier body weight. However, a chi-square analysis of BMI and daily fruit and vegetables suggests that 87% of those classified as normal weight eat five or more fruits and vegetables daily. Concerning acculturation and daily fruit and vegetable consumption, a sample of 321 respondents demonstrated a significant (p <0.05) relationship between acculturation and fruit and vegetable consumption. The relationship between the two showed that highly acculturated individuals were 6 (S.E. 0.319) times more likely to fall below the minimum daily recommendation for fruit and vegetables daily.

Understanding the general characteristics of Hispanic Americans living in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, and the tendency for overweightedness in the population provides insight for potentially poor health outcomes and a future impact on public health. Targeted health programming may be warranted.

description: Passivating lithium ion battery electrode surfaces to prevent electrolyte decomposition is critical for battery operations. Recent work on conformal atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating of anodes and cathodes has shown significant technological promise. ALD further provides well-characterized model platforms for understanding electrolyte decomposition initiated by electron tunneling through a passivating layer. First principles calculations reveal two regimes of electron transfer to adsorbed ethylene carbonate molecules (EC, a main component of commercial electrolyte) depending on whether the electrode is alumina-coated. On bare Li metal electrode surfaces, EC accepts electrons and decomposes within picoseconds. In contrast, constrained density functional theory calculations in an ultra-high vacuum setting show that, with the oxide coating, e- tunneling to the adsorbed EC falls within the non-adiabatic regime. Here the molecular reorganization energy, computed in the harmonic approximation, plays a key role in slowing down electron transfer. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations conducted at liquid EC-electrode interfaces are consistent with the view that reactions and electron transfer occur right at the interface. Microgravimetric measurements demonstrate that the ALD coating decreases electrolyte decomposition and corroborate the theoretical predictions.

description: Climate change and land use transformations are closely interconnected and have complex interactions. Uncertainty is the common narrative in this discourse that involves natural resources and multiple human development drivers.\r\nThis Policy Brief highlights how the elaboration of land-use strategies for climate change and biodiversity loss is an urgent priority to protect natural landscapes, local communities’ well-being, food and water security and economic development. The Alentejo Region in Portugal has been selected as a case study to analyze some of the main challenges and prospects associated with rapid changes induced by anthropogenic and climatic processes. Here, intensive agriculture, greenhouses, photovoltaics, silvopastoral systems (decrease) and urbanization are directly and indirectly connected with climate change, affecting rural land uses, landscapes and natural resources of the Region. In this context, understanding place-based climate change and biodiversity challenges could support top-down public policymaking, creating a solid foundation for different and unique rural regions leading through behavioural transformations to move toward a climate-neutral and resilient society and economy.\r\nThe framework above permits the identification of both a policy area of mitigation and adaptation and an opportunity for social transformation through a just and inclusive transition.

description: Optical frequency combs based on mode-locked lasers have proven to be invaluable tools for a wide range of applications in precision spectroscopy and metrology. A novel principle of optical frequency comb generation in whispering-gallery mode microresonators ("microcombs") has been developed recently, which represents a promising route towards chip-level integration and out-of-the-lab use of these devices. Presently, two families of microcombs have been demonstrated: combs with electronically detectable mode spacing that can be directly stabilized, and broadband combs with up to octave-spanning spectra but mode spacings beyond electronic detection limits. However, it has not yet been possible to achieve these two key requirements simultaneously, as will be critical for most microcomb applications. Here we present a key step to overcome this problem by interleaving an electro-optic comb with the spectrum from a parametric microcomb. This allows, for the first time, direct control and stabilization of a microcomb spectrum with large mode spacing (>140 GHz) with no need for an additional mode-locked laser frequency comb. The attained residual 1-second-instability of the microcomb comb spacing is 10^-15, with a microwave reference limited absolute instability of 10^-12 at a 140 GHz mode spacing.

title: The effects of environmental stressors on oxidant accumulation by ulvoid algae and the impacts of hydrogen peroxide on larval Metacarcinus magister survival and development
Creators: name: van Hees, David H.

description:
Current global conditions are leading to increased numbers of harmful macroalgal blooms, which have detrimental effects on the ecosystems in which they occur. Macroalgae produce harmful chemicals such as ROS (reactive oxygen species) and dopamine. These chemicals may be produced in high quantities in response to environmental stresses, such as increasing water temperature, emersion, hypoxia, and then subsequently introduced into the aquatic environment. In Washington State, little work has been done to quantify ROS accumulation by macroalgae, or investigate oxidant impacts on invertebrates. This project investigated the impacts of environmental (emersion, water temperature, hypoxia) and chemical (dopamine) stressors on oxidant accumulation in two bloom forming macroalgae (Ulvaria obscura and Ulva lactuca) in Washington State. The effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on Metacarcinus magister zoeae survival and development were also investigated. Oxidant concentrations changed in U. obscura after exposure to emersion stress. Seawater with previously emersed algae accumulated oxidants at a rate that was one order of magnitude less than seawater with algae that remained submerged. Water temperature and environmental dopamine significantly changed oxidant concentrations in U. lactuca, but not U. obscura. Seawater with U. lactuca that were exposed to 10o C seawater accumulated more oxidants than algae exposed to 15o C and 20o C seawater. Stage I Metacarcinus magister zoeae were exposed to hydrogen peroxide levels ranging from no hydrogen peroxide to 6 μM. All zoeae had similar mortality rates; those exposed to hydrogen peroxide had slightly, but not significantly higher mortalities. Zoeae in all treatments also had similar stage durations of 11.6 days. These results suggest that zoeal survival and development rate are unaffected by accumulated oxidants in the concentrations and exposure times used in this experiment.

description: We show that atomic Fermi mixtures with density and mass imbalance exhibit a rich diversity of scaling laws for the quasiparticle decay rate beyond the quadratic energy and temperature dependence of conventional Fermi liquids. For certain densities and mass ratios, the decay rate is linear whereas in other cases it exhibits a plateau. Remarkably, this plateau extends from the deeply degenerate to the high temperature classical regime of the light species. Many of these scaling laws are analogous to what is found in very different systems including dirty metals, liquid metals, and high temperature plasmas. The Fermi mixtures can in this sense span a whole range of seemingly diverse and separate physical systems. Our results are derived in the weakly interacting limit making them quantitatively reliable. The different regimes can be detected with radio-frequency spectroscopy.
