description: The electronic circulator, and its close relative the gyrator, are invaluable tools for noise management and signal routing in the current generation of low-temperature microwave systems for the implementation of new quantum technologies. The current implementation of these devices using the Faraday effect is satisfactory, but requires a bulky structure whose physical dimension is close to the microwave wavelength employed. The Hall effect is an alternative non-reciprocal effect that can also be used to produce desired device functionality. We review earlier efforts to use an ohmically-contacted four-terminal Hall bar, explaining why this approach leads to unacceptably high device loss. We find that capacitive coupling to such a Hall conductor has much greater promise for achieving good circulator and gyrator functionality. We formulate a classical Ohm-Hall analysis for calculating the properties of such a device, and show how this classical theory simplifies remarkably in the limiting case of the Hall angle approaching 90 degrees. In this limit we find that either a four-terminal or a three-terminal capacitive device can give excellent circulator behavior, with device dimensions far smaller than the a.c. wavelength. An experiment is proposed to achieve GHz-band gyration in millimetre (and smaller) scale structures employing either semiconductor heterostructure or graphene Hall conductors. An inductively coupled scheme for realising a Hall gyrator is also analysed.

description: This working paper reports on the ‘Policy Futures for the Digital Creative Economy’ international symposium held between 29-30 March 2023, a first step in the Partnership Collaboration being built between the University of Glasgow and the University of Sydney in our field. Hosted in the University’s Advanced Research Centre (The ARC) under the auspices of the ‘Creative Economy and Cultural Transformations’ theme, the symposium showcased cutting-edge research and in-depth regulatory dialogue. The first day was initiated by Professor Terry Flew’s (University of Sydney) keynote on the evolution of Australian cultural policy, while the second day revolved around the regulatory policy forum chaired by Professor Philip Schlesinger (University of Glasgow), bringing together a UK legislator, regulators from Ofcom and the Competition and Markets Authority, and an EU academic perspective from Université Paris-Dauphine. Over the two days, the contributions and discussions ranged across algorithms, creativity and AI, creative labour, copyright, climate change, news, sports, and public service media, as well as new regulatory challenges and emerging responses. The symposium showed both how similar regulatory approaches between the UK and Australia enabled cooperation, and that research interests productively converged across disciplinary boundaries, offering a significant basis for further development of the partnership between Glasgow and Sydney.
title: Pannexin1 in human pluripotent stem cells and its influence on early cell fate decisions
Creators: name: Noori (Frohlich), Rebecca J.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Human development requires cells to work together within their environment to successfully differentiate and organize into complex tissues. Pannexin1 (PANX1) is a channel-forming protein that facilitates cell-cell communication by conveying small messenger molecules across cellular membranes. PANX1 is expressed in the early embryo and persists in most adult tissues. Dysfunctional PANX1 activity has been implicated in several human pathologies including oocyte cell death and neurological disease. Given its expression in the early embryo and its link to disease, we investigated PANX1’s involvement in cell fate specification to the embryonic germ layers and during complex, 3-dimensional human cerebral organoid development. Using immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and quantitative RT-PCR, we find that human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) express PANX1. iPSCs subjected to CRISPR-Cas9 PANX1 genetic ablation show no changes in cellular morphology, pluripotency gene expression, proliferation, or apoptosis. However, spontaneously differentiated PANX1 knockout iPSCs have enhanced ability to generate mesoderm and endoderm germ layers compared to control. Furthermore, PANX1 is dynamically expressed and localized across different neural cell types at distinct stages of human cerebral organoid development. Taken together, our results suggest that PANX1-mediated cell communication actively participates in cell fate specification and human cerebral organoid development.

description: Positron scattering and annihilation on noble gas atoms below the positronium formation threshold is studied ab initio using many-body theory methods. The many-body theory provides a near-complete understanding of the positron-noble-gas-atom system at these energies and yields accurate numerical results. It accounts for positron-atom and electron-positron correlations, e.g., polarization of the atom by the incident positron and the non-perturbative process of virtual positronium formation. These correlations have a large effect on the scattering dynamics and result in a strong enhancement of the annihilation rates compared to the independent-particle mean-field description. Computed elastic scattering cross sections are found to be in good agreement with recent experimental results and Kohn variational and convergent close-coupling calculations. The calculated values of the annihilation rate parameter $Z_{\rm eff}$ (effective number of electrons participating in annihilation) rise steeply along the sequence of noble gas atoms due to the increasing strength of the correlation effects, and agree well with experimental data.

description: Supporting and assessment of students’ preparation and learning process in problem-based learning (PBL) tutorials has long been a challenge. We present a modified PBL model focussing on the specific critical phase in the PBL process, the self-directed learning phase in between tutorial meetings. The modified seven step PBL model including an Individual reflection paper (IRP) is presented as well as students’ perspectives on the implementation of IRP and information literacy, knowledge gathering, and PBL tutorial work. The assessment of PBL work is complex, and the ways in which IRPs support the tutor’s role as an examiner is beyond the scope of the current study. However, it seems that the students experienced assessment of the IRPs as part of their as a positive driving force in their learning process.

description: This report discusses 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodinezo-p-dioxin (TCDD), which is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that has been shown to be one of the most toxic compounds known. To address the health implications of a TCDD-contaminated site, better quantification of TCDD bioavailability from various exposure routes is needed. This report focuses on the dermal and inhalation routes of exposure to TCDD. The major purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis that TCDD-contaminated soil can be bioavailable across skin and lung. It was proposed that soil subfractions would be prepared for inhalation studies by ball-mill grinding and sieving. However, it was found that ball-mill grinding caused a disproportionate amount of clay to be isolated, which in turn caused the particulates to aggregate, prohibiting their use in instillation studies.

A Pragmatist Analysis of the Just Distribution of Goods, Risks and Burdens of Self-Tracking Technologies

description: In this presentation, I apply a pragmatist framework to analyze the ethical-political aspects of self-tracking technologies which allow users to monitor and quantify their everyday activity. Although existing research has extensively discussed the normative and interpersonal dimension of self-tracking, there has been relatively little scholarly attention on the distribution of goods, risks and burdens resulting from the practices of self-quantification. For different actors, self-tracking technologies can be a source of data, profits and knowledge, while also bringing other positive results (e.g., a sense of empowerment, increased control over one’s habits and health). However, as I argue, these potential benefits are not distributed equally. Although the users put much effort into their data collection practices, the value they help create is appropriated by private companies. The free services offered to the users (i.e., the analysis of the supplied data and the formulation of personalized recommendations) are not proportional in value to the profits derived from the commodification of user data. Moreover, in order to enjoy the non-financial benefits of self-tracking, users need to spend a considerable amount of time and resources, while also possessing relatively high hermeneutic capacities. Consequently, the less privileged members of the society are unlikely to reap the rewards of self-tracking to the same extent as their wealthy, digitally literate and well-educated counterparts. At the same time, marginalized groups are also more likely to deal with the risks and burdens of self-tracking, as different tracking apps and devices are now commonly adopted in institutional contexts. Many people are required to collect their personal data and share it with private insurance companies, employers and government institutions, or face consequences such as increased insurance premiums or limited access to vital social programs. The less privileged social groups are less able to deal with such fallouts, but at the same time they are exposed to them to a much greater degree — existing research shows that poor people are more often required to engage in involuntary practices of self-surveillance. In order to discuss the ethical-political importance of these developments, I draw on John Dewey’s pragmatic philosophy, particularly his notion of democracy. I detail his views by arguing that democratic life requires a just and equitable distribution of goods, risks and burdens produced through self-quantification, and provide some recommendations for the future use, regulation and development of self-tracking technologies that would contribute to rather than undermine Dewey’s vision of democracy.

description: Relaxation and dephasing of hole spins are measured in a gate-defined Ge/Si nanowire double quantum dot using a fast pulsed-gate method and dispersive readout. An inhomogeneous dephasing time $T_2^* \sim 0.18~\mathrm{μs}$ exceeds corresponding measurements in III-V semiconductors by more than an order of magnitude, as expected for predominately nuclear-spin-free materials. Dephasing is observed to be exponential in time, indicating the presence of a broadband noise source, rather than Gaussian, previously seen in systems with nuclear-spin-dominated dephasing.

description: The unusual morphologies of the Andromeda spiral galaxy (M31) and its dwarf companion M32 have been characterized observationally in great detail. The two galaxies' apparent proximity suggests that Andromeda's prominent star-forming ring as well as M32's compact elliptical structure may result from a recent collision. Here we present the first self-consistent model of the M31-M32 interaction that simultaneously reproduces observed positions, velocities, and morphologies for both galaxies. Andromeda's spiral structure is resolved in unprecedented detail, showing that a rare head-on orbit is not necessary to match Andromeda's ring-like morphology. The passage of M32 through Andromeda's disk perturbs the disk velocity structure. We find tidal stripping of M32's stars to be inefficient during the interaction, suggesting that some cEs are intrinsically compact. Additionally, the orbital solution implies that M32 is currently closer to the Milky Way than models have typically assumed, a prediction that may be testable with upcoming observations.

description: In this work, we investigate the consequences of the spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry, triggered by the bumblebee vector field, on the usual Einstein-Hilbert theory. Specifically, we consider the Einstein-Hilbert action modified by the bumblebee dynamic field, and evaluate the graviton propagator using an extended basis of Barnes-Rivers tensor projectors, involving the Lorentz-violating vector. Once the propagator is carried out, we proceed with discussing the consistency of the model, writing the dispersion relations, and analyzing causality and unitarity. We verify that this model possesses two dispersion relations: one provides causal and unitary propagating modes, while the second yields a causal but nonunitary mode which spoils the physical consistency of the model.

Wavefront twisting by rotating black holes: orbital angular momentum generation and phase coherent detection

description: In this paper we study wave propagation and scattering near a rotating black hole. In particular, we assume a coherent emission source near the black hole and investigate the wavefront distortion as seen by a distant observer. Near the observer, the propagating wave can be decomposed using the Laguerre-Gaussian mode basis and its wavefront distortion can be characterized by the decomposition coefficient. We find that this decomposition spectrum is symmetric for wave sources located near a Schwarzschild black hole, but is generically asymmetric if the host black hole is rotating. The spectrum asymmetry, or the net orbital angular momentum carried by the wave, is intimately related to the black hole spin and mass, the wave frequency and the locations of the source and the observer. We present semi-analytical expressions and numerical results for these parameter-dependences. If the radiation is temporally coherent, our results show that the secondary images of the source can be almost as bright as its primary image. In the case of temporally-incoherent radiation, we show that the non-fundamental spectrum components could be resolved by spatially-separated telescopes, although that would be degenerate with the telescope direction. Finally, our results suggest that the black-hole-induced spectrum asymmetry is generally too weak to be observed in radio astronomy, even if the observer were located near a caustic point.

description: Improper or poor post-harvest handling and storage of stored grains contributes significantly to product loss, and bagged stored grain presents an option for safe storage and handling. Bagged grain is intended to maintain quality and safety, while protecting it from infestations. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of deltamethrin-treated packaging material on adults and larvae of common stored product pests. Adults or larvae of several species of stored product insects were exposed to deltamethrin-treated packaging for time intervals ranging from 1 h to 4 weeks. The percentage of affected Prostephanus truncatus, Callosobruchus maculatus and Rhyzopertha dominica adults was < 98% after 60 minutes of exposure to treated packaging. Mortality of adult Trogoderma granarium was about 33% after 1 day of exposure, and increased to 93% after 7 day of exposure. Direct mortality of T. granarium larvae exposed to the deltamethrin-treated packaging for 8 h was about 15%, but increased to 50% when larvae were exposed for 72 h. Tribolium castaneum, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, and Trogoderma inclusum larvae continually exposed to the deltamethrin-treated packaging resulted in > 96% larval death within 1-2 weeks.The major primary stored product insects were highly susceptible to the deltamethrin-treated storage bags, but there was variation in susceptibility between species and life stages tested. The deltamethrin-treated storage bags can offer protection of bagged grains and be used as a preventative measure to reduce infestations during storage.

Green's function formalism for a condensed Bose gas consistent with infrared-divergent longitudinal susceptibility and Nepomnyashchii-Nepomnyashchii identity

description: We present a Green's function formalism for an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) satisfying the two required conditions: (i) the infrared-divergent longitudinal susceptibility with respect to the BEC order parameter, and (ii) the Nepomnyashchii-Nepomnyashchii identity stating the vanishing off-diagonal self-energy in the low-energy and low-momentum limit. These conditions cannot be described by the ordinary mean-field Bogoliubov theory, the many-body $T$-matrix theory, as well as the random-phase approximation with the vertex correction. In this paper, we show that these required conditions can be satisfied, when we divide many-body corrections into singular and non-singular parts, and separately treat them as different self-energy corrections. The resulting Green's function may be viewed as an extension of the Popov's hydrodynamic theory to the region at finite temperatures. Our results would be useful in constructing a consistent theory of BECs satisfying various required conditions, beyond the mean-field level.

Microservice architectures

description: With a significant amount of software now being developed for use in patient-facing studies, there is a pressing need to consider how to design this software effectively in order to support the needs of both researchers and patients. We posit that a microservice architecture—which offers a large amount of flexibility for development and deployment, while at the same time ensuring certain quality attributes, such as scalability, are present—provides an effective mechanism for designing such software. To explore this proposition, in this work we show how the paradigm has been applied to the design of CONSULT, a decision support system that provides autonomous support to stroke patients and is characterised by its use of a data-backed AI reasoner. We discuss the impact that the use of this software architecture has had on the teams developing CONSULT and measure the performance of the system produced. We show that the use of microservices can deliver software that is able to facilitate both research and effective patient interactions. However, we also conclude that the impact of the approach only goes so far, with additional techniques needed to address its limitations.

description: Seven methods for storing maize were compared with traditional practice of storing maize in polypropylene bags. Twenty farmers managed the experiment under their prevailing conditions for 30 weeks. Stored grain was assessed for damage every six weeks. The dominant storage insect pests identified were the Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) and the Red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum). There was no significant difference (F = 87.09; P < 0.0001) in insect control and grain damage between hermetic storage and fumigation with insecticides. However, the insecticide treated polypropylene yarn (ZeroFly®) did not control insect infestation of grain for the experimental period under farmers’ management. Grain damage was significantly lower in hermetic storage and fumigated grain than ZeroFly® and polypropylene bags without fumigation. No significant difference in grain damage was found between airtight treatment alone and when combined with the use of insecticides. During storage, S. zeamais was predominant and could be of more economic importance than T. castaneum as far as maize damage is concerned. Even though ZeroFly®, and polypropylene bags without grain treatment did not control storage pests, farmers still prefered this cheap technology. Hermetic storage techniques can be recommended to farmers without the use of insecticides provided they are inexpensive, and the proper application of technologies is ensured.

description: It has been shown in earlier works that the vertices of Platonic solids are good measurement choices for tests of EPR-steering using isotropically entangled pairs of qubits. Such measurements are regularly spaced, and measurement diversity is a good feature for making EPR-steering inequalities easier to violate in the presence of experimental imperfections. However, such measurements are provably suboptimal. Here, we develop a method for devising optimal strategies for tests of EPR-steering, in the sense of being most robust to mixture and inefficiency (while still closing the detection loophole of course), for a given number $n$ of measurement settings. We allow for arbitrary measurement directions, and arbitrary weightings of the outcomes in the EPR-steering inequality. This is a difficult optimization problem for large $n$, so we also consider more practical ways of constructing near-optimal EPR-steering inequalities in this limit.

description: Given the increasingly pervasive role and growing importance of computing and data in all aspects of science and society fundamental advances in computer science and their translation to the real world have become essential. Consequently, there may be benefits to formalizing Translational Computer Science (TCS) to complement the traditional foundational and applied modes of computer science research, as has been done for translational medicine. TCS has the potential to accelerate the impact of computer science research overall. In this talk I discuss the attributes of TCS, and formally define it. I enumerate a number of roadblocks that have limited its adoption to date and sketch a path forward. Finally, I will provide some specific examples of translational research underpinning eScience projects and illustrate the advantages to both computer science and the application domains

description: A dendritic spine is a very small structure (~0.1 μm$^3$) of a neuron that processes input timing information. Why are spines so small? Here, we provide functional reasons; the size of spines is optimal for information coding. Spines code input timing information by the probability of Ca$^{2+}$ increases, which makes robust and sensitive information coding possible. We created a stochastic simulation model of input timing-dependent Ca$^{2+}$ increases in a cerebellar Purkinje cell's spine. Spines used probability coding of Ca$^{2+}$ increases rather than amplitude coding for input timing detection via stochastic facilitation by utilizing the small number of molecules in a spine volume, where information per volume appeared optimal. Probability coding of Ca$^{2+}$ increases in a spine volume was more robust against input fluctuation and more sensitive to input numbers than amplitude coding of Ca$^{2+}$ increases in a cell volume. Thus, stochasticity is a strategy by which neurons robustly and sensitively code information.

description: Maize post-harvest losses are perennial in Ghana but reliable comparative information on on-farm losses of maize produced in the Middle and Northern Belts of Ghana is lacking. Two studies were conducted from September 2015 to February 2016 to identify factors contributing to on-farm losses of maize in these two Belts. In the Northern Belt, the study was conducted in six communities including Adubiyili, Diari, Pong-Tamale, Savelugu, Toroyili and Zamnayili; and in the Middle Belt, in Ejura, Sekyedumase and Amantin communities. Moisture content, percent weight loss, percent insect damaged kernels (IDK) on numerical basis (%IDKnb) and percent IDK by weight basis (%IDKwb), insect pest abundance, and mycotoxin levels were estimated. Moisture content values of maize at pre-harvest and heaping stages in all nine communities were below 15%. Sitophilus zeamais, Sitotroga cerealella, Cathartus quadricollis, and Carpophilus dimidiatus were found to attack maize onfarm in communities in the Middle Belt, but no adult insect pests were collected on pre-harvested maize in the Northern Belt. The %IDKnb values on-farm in all nine communities were < 2% per 250 g. Mean aflatoxin levels below 15 ppb were obtained from pre-harvested maize in both regions but levels above 15 ppb were obtained from heaped maize on-farm. Fumonisin levels of maize were below 4 ppm on pre-harvested and in heaped maize in both regions. Results show that heaping maize on-farm increases aflatoxin levels beyond the acceptable threshold level and should not be practiced.

description: Effective post-harvest management of crops could significantly contribute to food security by improving the availability and quality of food. In Burkina Faso, new concerns have emerged as a result of the growing importance accorded to sesame (Sesamum indica), roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), "zamnè" (Acacia macrostachya), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). The insects identified as storage pests on these crops belong mainly to the order Coleoptera and families of Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae and Bostrichidae are the most representative. The studies carried out allowed a better knowledge of the pests as well as their economic importance. Losses due to insects, estimated up to 100% depending on the crop and protection methods used, are frequently observed after a few months of grain storage. Several alternatives to the use of chemicals including biological control, biopesticides and hermetic storage are being promoted. The triple bagging technology is one of the promising alternatives that can adapt to the post-harvest storage of a wide range of crops. Despite its proven effectiveness for several commodities, there is need to verify its efficiency against a diversity of insect pests with differing behaviour and evolution. The importance of the challenges is such that the strategies to be implemented must be conceived in a comprehensive, integrated approach, even at the regional scale.

description: Four dimensional supergravities may be the right framework to describe particle physics at low energies. Its connection to the underlying string theory can be implemented through higher dimensional supergravities which bear special characteristics. Their reduction to four dimensions breaks supersymmetry whose magnitude depends both on the compactifying manifold and the mechanism that generates the breaking. In particular compactifications, notably on a $S_1/Z_2$ orbifold, the breaking of supersymmetry occuring on a hidden brane, residing at one end of $S_1/Z_2$, is communicated to the visible brane which lies at the other end, via gravitational interactions propagating in the bulk. This scenario has been exemplified in the framework of the $N=2$, $D=5$ supergravity. In this note, motivated by the recent developments in the field, related to the six-dimensional description of the supergravity theory, we study the $N=2$, $D=5$ supergravity theory as originating from a $D=6$ supergravity which, in addition to the gravity, includes a number of tensor multiplets. This reduces to $N=1$, $D=4$ supergravity in a two step manner, first by Kaluza-Klein reduction followed by a $S_1/Z_2$ orbifold compactification. The resulting theory has striking similarities with the one that follows from the single standalone $N=2$, $D=5$ supergravity, with no reference to the underlying higher dimensional $D=6$ supergravity, and a structure that makes the supersymmetry breaking mechanisms studied in the past easily incorporated in higher dimensional schemes.
