description: Mokdad et al. (2004) estimate that each year in the United States, 435,000 people die from tobacco use, 85,000 from alcohol, and 17,000 from all illicit substances combined. Yet American public appears far more concerned about illegal drugs than it is about tobacco and alcohol use, driving expansions in control efforts far beyond that which is part and parcel of prohibition. The central thesis of this paper is that some of this mismatch in concern may stem from differences in the types of deaths created, with deaths associated with illicit drugs being, on average, “scarier” to the public than are the deaths associated with legal substances in a way that can be grounded in the risk perception and communication literatures. We summarize literature documenting that people care about more than actual death risk. Factors such as voluntariness, control, and familiarity also play a crucial role in determining the perceived risk of an event, and some of those factors seem to be more salient for the illicit drugs than for tobacco and alcohol. Social amplification of risk may also play a role in explaining these perceptions, but may not by itself be the full explanation. We conclude that the mismatch between actual risks and public concern is not necessarily entirely wrong or irrational, but rather may, to some extent, embody stable preferences that should be reflected in policy.

description: The current generation of ground-based coronagraphic instruments uses deformable mirrors to correct for phase errors and to improve contrast levels at small angular separations. Improving these techniques, several space and ground based instruments are currently developed using two deformable mirrors to correct for both phase and amplitude errors. However, as wavefront control techniques improve, more complex telescope pupil geometries will soon be a limiting factor for these next generation coronagraphic instru- ments. The technique presented in this proceeding, the Active Correction of Aperture Discontinuities method, is taking advantage of the fact that most future coronagraphic instruments will include two deformable mirrors, and is proposing to find the shapes and actuator movements to correct for the effect introduced by these complex pupil geometries. We here present the results of the parametric analysis realized on the WFIRST pupil for which we obtained high contrast levels with several deformable mirror setups (size, separation between them), coronagraphs (Vortex charge 2, vortex charge 4, APLC) and spectral bandwidths. However, because contrast levels and separation are not the only metrics to maximize the scientific return of an instrument, we also included in this study the influence of these deformable mirror shapes on the throughput of the instrument and sensitivity to pointing jitters. Finally, we present results obtained on another potential space based telescope segmented aperture. The main result of this proceeding is that we now obtain comparable performance than the coronagraphs previously designed for WFIRST. First result from the parametric analysis strongly suggest that the 2 deformable mirror set up (size and distance between them) has a important impact on the performance in contrast and throughput of the final instrument.

description: For a family of models of evolving population under selection, which can be described by noisy traveling wave equations, the coalescence times along the genealogical tree scale like $\log^αN$, where $N$ is the size of the population, in contrast with neutral models for which they scale like $N$. An argument relating this time scale to the diffusion constant of the noisy traveling wave leads to a prediction for $α$ which agrees with our simulations. An exactly soluble case gives trees with statistics identical to those predicted for mean-field spin glasses in Parisi's theory.

description: The influence of relativistic contributions to deuteron electrodisintegration is systematically studied in various kinematic regions of energy and momentum transfer. As theoretical framework the equation-of-motion and the unitarily equivalent S-matrix approaches are used. In a (p/M)-expansion, all leading order relativistic $π$-exchange contributions consistent with the Bonn OBEPQ model are included. In addition, static heavy meson exchange currents including boost terms, $γπρ/ω$-currents, and $Δ$-isobar contributions are considered. Sizeable effects from the various relativistic two-body contributions, mainly from $π$-exchange, have been found in inclusive form factors and exclusive structure functions for a variety of kinematic regions.

Is Marijuana Safer than Alcohol? Insights from Users’ Self-Reports

description: Both marijuana and alcohol are dependence-inducing intoxicants that bring pleasure to most users but causes a range of physical, mental, and behavioral harms to others, including harms borne by the users themselves, by their family and friends, and by society more generally (Edwards et al., 1994; Volkow et al., 2014). To borrow Tom Babor’s phrase, neither is an ordinary commodity (Babor et al., 2010). Yet policy treats them very differently in the United States. Federal law prohibits marijuana; alcohol has been legal for over 80 years. Support for legalizing marijuana has grown sharply, and comparisons with alcohol are common (Caulkins et al., 2012). In particular, those favoring legalization often argue that marijuana is safer than alcohol (e.g., Rifle, 2013; Fox et al., 2013). Alcohol is certainly more dangerous in some respects, including sole-cause acute overdose deaths, accidents, and violence. But risk is multi-faceted, and this paper demonstrates that marijuana is the riskier substance with respect to other important outcomes.

description: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will produce an unprecedented amount of light curves using six optical bands. Robust and efficient methods that can aggregate data from multidimensional sparsely-sampled time series are needed. In this paper we present a new method for light curve period estimation based on the quadratic mutual information (QMI). The proposed method does not assume a particular model for the light curve nor its underlying probability density and it is robust to non-Gaussian noise and outliers. By combining the QMI from several bands the true period can be estimated even when no single-band QMI yields the period. Period recovery performance as a function of average magnitude and sample size is measured using 30,000 synthetic multi-band light curves of RR Lyrae and Cepheid variables generated by the LSST Operations and Catalog simulators. The results show that aggregating information from several bands is highly beneficial in LSST sparsely-sampled time series, obtaining an absolute increase in period recovery rate up to 50%. We also show that the QMI is more robust to noise and light curve length (sample size) than the multiband generalizations of the Lomb Scargle and Analysis of Variance periodograms, recovering the true period in 10-30% more cases than its competitors. A python package containing efficient Cython implementations of the QMI and other methods is provided.

description: We present the first proper motion study of M10 (NGC6254). Absolute proper motions of about 532 stars in the field of the globular cluster M10 were determined with respect to Hipparcos and ACT reference stars. In addition to photographic plates of Bonn and Shanghai also wide field CCD observations as second epoch plates were used. The wide field CCD observations show an accuracy comparable to that of the photographic plates. A good coincidence of the solutions based on reference stars from Hipparcos and from ACT was found. Our final proper motions allow a sufficient separation of cluster and field stars. Two population II Cepheids were confirmed to be members of M10. The absolute proper motion of M10 was determined and combined with its distance from the Sun and its radial velocity. The space motion and metallicity of M10 indicates the characteristics of a halo object with an orbit reaching to a maximal z-distance of less than 3kpc.

description: For fifty years astronomers have been searching for pulsar signals in observational data. Throughout this time the process of choosing detections worthy of investigation, so called candidate selection, has been effective, yielding thousands of pulsar discoveries. Yet in recent years technological advances have permitted the proliferation of pulsar-like candidates, straining our candidate selection capabilities, and ultimately reducing selection accuracy. To overcome such problems, we now apply intelligent machine learning tools. Whilst these have achieved success, candidate volumes continue to increase, and our methods have to evolve to keep pace with the change. This talk considers how to meet this challenge as a community.

description: Background. The security and privacy communities have become increasingly interested in results from behavioral economics and psychology to help frame decisions so that users can make better privacy and security choices. One such result in the literature suggests that cognitive disfluency (presenting questions in a hard-to-read font) reduces self-disclosure. (A. L. Alter and D. M. Oppenheimer. Suppressing secrecy through metacognitive ease cognitive fluency encourages self-disclosure. Psychological science, 20(11):1414-1420, 2009) Aim. To examine the replicability and reliability of the effect of disfluency on self-disclosure, in order to test whether such approaches might be used to promote safer security and privacy behaviors. Method. We conducted a series of survey studies on human subjects with two conditions - disfluent and fluent font. The surveys were completed online (390 participants throughout the United States), on tablets (93 students) and with pen and paper (three studies with 89, 61, and 59 students). The pen and paper studies replicated the original study exactly. We ran an independent samples t-test to check for significant differences between the averages of desirable responses across the two conditions. Results. In all but one case, participants did not show lower self-disclosure rates under disfluent conditions using an independent samples t-test. We re-analyzed the original data and our data using the same statistical test (paired t-test) as used in the original paper, and only the data from the original published studies supported the hypothesis.
Stabilizing Moduli with a Positive Cosmological Constant in Heterotic M-Theory

description: It is shown that strongly coupled heterotic M-theory with anti-five-branes in the S^1/Z_2 bulk space can have meta-stable vacua which break N=1 supersymmetry and have a small, positive cosmological constant. This is demonstrated for the "minimal" heterotic standard model. This vacuum has the exact MSSM matter spectrum in the observable sector, a trivial hidden sector vector bundle and both five-branes and anti-five-branes in the bulk space. The Kahler moduli for which the cosmological constant has phenomenologically acceptable values are shown to also render the observable sector vector bundle slope-stable. A corollary of this result is that strongly coupled M-theory vacua with only five-branes in the S^1/Z_2 interval may have stabilized moduli, but at a supersymmetry preserving minimum with a large, negative cosmological constant.

Analysis of the structure, function and protein-protein interactions of the popeye domain containing proteins
Creators: name: Swan, Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The Popeye domain containing (POPDC) proteins are a family of three transmembrane proteins. Dysfunction of these proteins is associated with muscular dystrophy and cardiac dysrhythmias. The Popeye domain, unique to this family, is known to bind to cAMP. The structure of the Popeye domain and the mechanism of cAMP binding has not been directly determined. In addition, there is a lack of pharmacological tools to target the cAMP binding site of the POPDC proteins. Attempts were made to produce a protein construct based on the Popeye domain for structural characterisation and the design of ligand binding assays. A novel construct was produced although, while preliminary structural analysis was initiated, it did not possess robust cAMP binding properties. This meant that the construct was unsuitable for further study. Attempts to develop cell-based assays to detect cAMP and other compound binding to the Popeye domain were also unsuccessful. An interaction between POPDC1 and POPDC2 is thought to occur. Changes in normal subcellular expression of both POPDC1 and POPDC2 within tissue have been found in the presence of mutations in either of these proteins. Here, analysis of skeletal muscle biopsies from patients found this to be the case in two recently identified mutations in POPDC1. Furthermore, it was discovered that plasma membrane localisation of POPDC1 and POPDC2 in HEK293 cells is dependent on the co-expression of both proteins. This finding was exploited to design an assay in HEK293 cells modelling the effect of known mutations on POPDC expression in tissue. The nature of POPDC1-POPDC2 interactions was investigated and a novel interface was proposed to form through a helix-helix interaction within the Popeye domain of each protein. It was found that residues in this putative interface are required for proper POPDC1 and POPDC2 protein subcellular expression.

description: Momentum and doping dependence of the static charge susceptibility χ(q) in the t-t'-J model is investigated. Correlations lead to a strongly momentum dependent renormalization of χ(q). The charge susceptibility near (π,π) region of the Brillouin zone is strongly suppressed as the hole density δis decreased. However, contrary to naive expectations, χ(q) around q = (π,0) and (0,π) remains large and practically unchanged at δ\sim 0.1-0.5. This effect is consistent with a tendency towards low-energy charge fluctuations with the wave vectors along the Γ-X direction, reported in earlier studies. Our main finding is that the above trends are amplified by J-driven pairing effects, indicating that the pseudogap formation may promote the charge inhomogeneity. The next-nearest hopping t' leads to weakening of the above momentum-selective renormalizations of χ(q). We analyze the effects of long-range Coulomb interaction, taking into account a layered structure of cuprates. As an application, the results are discussed in the context of bond-stretching phonon softening in hole-doped cuprates. In particular, a peculiar doping and momentum dependence of the electron-phonon coupling constant is found.

description: Frequency comb based multidimensional coherent spectroscopy is a novel optical method that enables high resolution measurement in a short acquisition time. The method's resolution makes multidimensional coherent spectroscopy relevant for atomic systems that have narrow resonances. We use double-quantum multidimensional coherent spectroscopy to reveal collective hyperfine resonances in rubidium vapor at 100 C induced by dipole-dipole interactions. We observe tilted lineshapes in the double-quantum 2D spectra, which has never been reported for Doppler-broadened systems. The tilted lineshapes suggest that the signal is predominately from the interacting atoms that have near zero relative velocity.

This paper seeks to shed light on these questions by using a common empirical framework to assess the relative importance of various alternative hypotheses in explaining the growth in patent citations to science. Our analysis supports the notion that the nature of U.S. inventive activity has changed over the sample period, with an increased emphasis on the use of the knowledge generated by university-based scientists in later years. However, the concentration of patent-to-paper citation activity within what we call the "bio nexus" suggests that much of the contribution of knowledge spillovers from academia may be largely confined to bioscience-related inventions.

description: We study the dark matter (DM) assembly in the central regions of massive early-type galaxies up to $z\sim 0.65$. We use a sample of $\sim 3800$ massive ($\log M_{\rm \star}/M_{\rm \odot} > 11.2$) galaxies with photometry and structural parameters from 156 sq. deg. of the Kilo Degree Survey, and spectroscopic redshifts and velocity dispersions from SDSS. We obtain central total-to-stellar mass ratios, $M_{\rm dyn}/M_{\rm \star}$, and DM fractions, by determining dynamical masses, $M_{\rm dyn}$, from Jeans modelling of SDSS aperture velocity dispersions and stellar masses, $M_{\rm \star}$, from KiDS galaxy colours. We first show how the central DM fraction correlates with structural parameters, mass and density proxies, and demonstrate that most of the local correlations are still observed up to $z \sim 0.65$; at fixed $M_{\rm \star}$, local galaxies have larger DM fraction, on average, than their counterparts at larger redshift. We also interpret these trends with a non universal Initial Mass Function (IMF), finding a strong evolution with redshift, which contrast independent observations and is at odds with the effect of galaxy mergers. For a fixed IMF, the galaxy assembly can be explained, realistically, by mass and size accretion, which can be physically achieved by a series of minor mergers. We reproduce both the $R_{\rm e}-M_{\rm \star}$ and $M_{\rm dyn}/M_{\rm \star}-M_{\rm \star}$ evolution with stellar and dark mass changing at a different rate. This result suggests that the main progenitor galaxy is merging with less massive systems, characterized by a smaller $M_{\rm dyn}/M_{\rm \star}$, consistently with results from halo abundance matching.

description: As early as 1950, Raman spectroscopy was proposed as a method to determine aromatics and olefins in hydrocarbon mixtures. Until recently, extensive use of Raman spectroscopy in the characterization of hydrocarbons has not been practical due to several limitations. One early limitation to Raman analysis was the absence of a high intensity and stable excitation source. This problem has been overcome with the advent of lasers. Another limitation was the presence of fluorescence in hydrocarbon fuels when excited by visible lasers. However, the development of Fourier-transform Raman spectrometers now allows Raman spectra to be collected using near-IR lasers (e.g. the Nd: YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm) which eliminate or severely reduce fluorescence in petroleum fuels. Therefore, FT-Raman spectroscopy was chosen to investigate its use for accurately determining various properties and concentrations in commercial petroleum fuel blends.

description: Urophora scutellata Rondani, 1870
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1870a: 15 (key), 21 (description).
 TYPE LOCALITY: “ in montuosis agri brixiensis [Brescian mountains (Italy)]”.
 TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (abdomen in microvial pinned below specimen) (MZUF: Box 32): Urophora Desv. / scutellata Rnd., ♀, Brixia [= Brescia] / 1697 / holotype Urophora scutellata Rondani, det. I.M. White, 1986.
 CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Urophora aprica (Fallén, 1820) (Foote 1984: 141, White & Korneyev 1989, Norrbom et al. 1999: 241).
 REMARKS: Rondani (1870a: 21) described Urophora scutellata from just the female sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ Semel faeminam legit Nob. Car. Tacchetti [the female collected once by Noble C. Tacchetti]”. Ian M. White labeled the MZUF specimen as “ holotype ” in 1986, but White & Korneyev (1989: 346) reported it as a syntype. We also found one syntype in this study.

description: The change of hadron properties in dense matter based on various theoretical approaches are reviewed. Incorporating these medium effects in the relativistic transport model, which treats consistently the change of hadron masses and energies in dense matter via the scalar and vector fields, heavy-ion collisions at energies available from SIS/GSI, AGS/BNL, and SPS/CERN are studied. This model is seen to provide satisfactory explanations for the observed enhancement of kaon, antikaon, and antiproton yields as well as soft pions in the transverse direction from the SIS experiments. In the AGS heavy-ion experiments, it can account for the enhanced $K^+/π^+$ ratio, the difference in the slope parameters of the $K^+$ and $K^-$ transverse kinetic energy spectra, and the lower apparent temperature of antiprotons than that of protons. This model also provides possible explanations for the observed enhancement of low-mass dileptons, phi mesons, and antilambdas in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies. Furthermore, the change of hadron properties in hot dense matter leads to new signatures of the quark-gluon plasma to hadronic matter transition in future ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC/BNL.

Transcriptional regulation of the HTLV-1 provirus

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The deltaretrovirus Human T cell Leukaemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes infections which persist for the lifetime of its host, following its integration into the host genome. Infection can result in an aggressive leukemia, ATL, or a debilitating neuropathy known as HAM/TSP, which together affect approximately 10% of HTLV-1 carriers. Proviral gene expression maintains a stable proviral load through its conferral of pro-survival and pro-proliferative effects on infected cells. The expression of the proviral sense strand, which encodes most HTLV-1 proteins, is heterogeneous even within clonal infected cell populations, and live-cell imaging has revealed that it is intermittently expressed. The dynamics and underlying molecular mechanisms of this discontinuous gene expression are unknown. Here, I used multiple methods to investigate potential mechanisms regulating proviral expression in naturally infected primary, and clonal, HTLV-infected T cells. I used bulk RNA-seq to examine the transcriptomes of HTLV-1-infected cells undergoing reactivation ex vivo, and observed a conserved progression of changes to gene expression in infected cells. Histone ubiquitination was highlighted as a potential mechanism for limiting proviral expression following reactivation, with several components involved in the deposition and removal of H2AK119ub1 significantly affected by proviral expression. Using single-molecule RNA FISH, I quantified sense-strand transcription over six days, finding that an existing three promoter state transcriptional model is insufficient to explain the observed transcript trajectories, with changes to parameter values mid-run necessary to recreate measured RNA counts, suggesting additional mechanisms are required to explain the observed data. Finally, I examined whether transcriptional interference between the proviral sense and antisense strands impacts proviral expression. Following a block of proviral transcription using CRISPRi to reduce oncoming RNA polymerase traffic, I found no evidence of transcriptional interference between the two proviral strands, suggesting transcription can occur from both strands without adverse effects on output. The findings presented in this thesis are relevant to our understanding of the regulation of HTLV-1 proviral transcription.

description: The interacting system Arp 284 consisting of the Wolf-Rayet galaxy NGC 7714 and its irregular companion NGC 7715 was observed using the Infrared Space Observatory. Deconvolved ISOCAM maps of the galaxies using the 14.3, 7.7 and 15 micron LW3, LW6 and LW9 filters, along with ISOPHOT spectrometry of the nuclear region of NGC 7714 were obtained and are presented. Strong ISOCAM emission was detected from the central source in NGC 7714, along with strong PAH features, the emission line [Ar II], molecular hydrogen at 9.66 microns and a blend of features including [S IV] at 10.6 microns. IR emission was not detected from the companion galaxy NGC 7715, the bridge linking the two galaxies or from the partial stellar ring in NGC 7714 where emission ceases abruptly at the interface between the disk and the ring. The morphology of the system can be well described by an off-centre collision between the two galaxies. The LW3/LW2, where the LW2 flux was synthesized from the PHOT-SL spectrum, LW9/LW6 and LW3/LW6 ratios suggest that the central burst within NGC 7714 is moving towards the post-starburst phase, in agreement with the age of the burst. Diagnostic tools including the ratio of the integrated PAH luminosity to the 40 to 120 microns infrared luminosity and the far-infrared colours reveal that despite the high surface brightness of the nucleus, the properties of NGC 7714 can be explained in terms of a starburst and do not require the prescence an AGN.

description: In heterogeneous cellular network, task scheduling for computation offloading is one of the biggest challenges. Most works focus on alleviating heavy burden of macro base stations by moving the computation tasks on macro-cell user equipment (MUE) to remote cloud or small-cell base stations. But the selfishness of network users is seldom considered. Motivated by the cloud edge computing, this paper provides incentive for task transfer from macro cell users to small cell base stations. The proposed incentive scheme utilizes small cell user equipment to provide relay service. The problem of computation offloading is modelled as a two-stage auction, in which the remote MUEs with common social character can form a group and then buy the computation resource of small-cell base stations with the relay of small cell user equipment. A two-stage auction scheme named TARCO is contributed to maximize utilities for both sellers and buyers in the network. The truthful, individual rationality and budget balance of the TARCO are also proved in this paper. In addition, two algorithms are proposed to further refine TARCO on the social welfare of the network. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that, TARCO is better than random algorithm by about 104.90% in terms of average utility of MUEs, while the performance of TARCO is further improved up to 28.75% and 17.06% by the proposed two algorithms, respectively.
