Coordination compounds of alkyl gallium hydrides

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Although the organo hydride derivatives of boron and aluminum are well characterized, little work has been reported on the corresponding gallium systems. The present study was initiated to determine the relative stabilities and reactivity of organo gallium hydride derivatives as compared with the stabilities and reactions of the corresponding compounds of boron and aluminum. Various preparative routes to this new class of gallium compounds have been investigated. These include the use of organo-mercury, organo-lithium and lithium hydride derivatives in reactions with gallium hydride and gallium alkyl compounds and their halogen substituted derivatives: Me₃NGaH₃ + HgR₂ → Me₃NGaH₂R + 1/2Hg + 1/2H₂ Me₃NGaH₂Cl + LiR → Me₃NGaH₂R + LiCl Me₃NGaR₂Cl + LiH → Me₃NGaHR₂ + LiCl A fourth preparative method involves disproportionation reactions between gallium hydride compounds and organo gallium compounds to yield the mixed organo hydride derivatives. Alkyl-hydride disproportionation reactions were also examined using organo and hydride derivatives of different Group IIIB elements in order to obtain a better understanding of the exchange process. Both infrared and proton NMR spectroscopy have been used extensively in following the progress of these reactions and in the characterization of the products.

description: This paper presents Sweet-Parker type scaling arguments in the context of hyper-resistive Hall magnetohyrdodynamics (MHD). The predicted steady state scalings are consistent with those found by Chacón et al. [PRL 99, 235001 (2007)], though as with that study, no prediction of electron dissipation region \emph{length} is made. Numerical experiments confirm that both cusp-like and modestly more extended geometries are realizable. However, importantly, the length of the electron dissipation region, which is taken as a parameter by several recent studies, is found to depend explicitly on the level of hyper-resistivity. Furthermore, although hyper-resistivity can produce more extended electron dissipation regions, the length of the region remains smaller than one ion skin depth for the largest values of hyper-resistivity considered here. These electron dissipation regions are significantly shorter than those seen in many recent kinetic studies. The length of the electron dissipation region is found to depend on electron inertia as well, scaling like $(m_e/m_i)^{3/8}$. However, the thickness of the region appears to scale similarly, so that the aspect ratio is at most very weakly dependent on $(m_e/m_i)$. The limitations of scaling theories which do not predict the length of the electron dissipation region are emphasized.

description: The vast increase in DNA sequencing capacity over the last decade has quickly turned biology into a dataintensive science. Nevertheless, current sequencers such as Illumia HiSeq have high random per-base error rates, which makes sequencing error correction an indispensable requirement for many sequence analysis applications. Most existing error correction methods demand large expensive memory space, which limits their scalability for handling large datasets. In this paper, we present a new disk based method, called DiskBQcor, for sequencing error correction. DiskBQcor stores k-mers of sequencing genome data along with their associated metadata on inexpensive disk and utilizes a disk based index tree to efficiently process special box queries to obtain relevant k-mers and their occurring frequencies. It then applies a comprehensive voting mechanism and possibly an efficient binary encoding based assembly technique to verify and correct an erroneous base in a genome sequence under various conditions. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is quite promising in error verification and correction for sequencing genome data on disk.

Subjects: subject: biflavonoid, natural product, spliceosome, total synthesis, analogues, SENP inhibitor, SUMO accumulation.

description: The spliceosome is the cellular machinery involved in producing mature messenger RNA from pre-mRNA before it is translated into protein by the cells. Improved understanding of this vital cellular process would allow us to design better drugs to combat diseases that depend on splicing mismanagement. Small molecules that affect splicing would be useful in furthering our understanding of this complex cellular mechanism. Hinokiflavone, a biflavonoid natural product, was found to affect splicing in cells. In this work we describe the total synthesis of hinokiflavone, after exploring alternative synthetic routes. Several different series of hinokiflavone analogues were also designed and three of these structural analogues displayed the same bioactivity as hinokiflavone. Various biological assays in which hinokiflavone and the analogues were active were then examined. It was found that these molecules modulate splicing by inhibiting SENP activity. The SENP enzyme removes SUMO, a post-translational modification involved in the cellular control over splicing, hence its inhibition has a marked effect on cellular metabolism.

description: Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can serve in discharge mode as distributed energy and power resources operating as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) devices and in charge mode as loads or grid-to-vehicle devices. It has been documented that PEVs serving as V2G systems can offer possible backup for renewable power sources, can provide reactive power support, active power regulation, load balancing, peak load shaving, can reduce utility operating costs and can generate revenue. Here we show that PEVs can even improve power grid transient stability, that is, stability when the power grid is subjected to large disturbances, including bus faults, generator and branch tripping, and sudden large load changes. A control strategy that regulates the power output of a fleet of PEVs based on the speed of generator turbines is proposed and tested on the New England 10-unit 39-bus power system. By regulating the power output of the PEVs we show that (1) speed and voltage fluctuations resulting from large disturbances can be significantly reduced up to five times, and (2) the critical clearing time can be extended by 20-40%. Overall, the PEVs control strategy makes the power grid more robust.

description: In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation procedure can then be evaluated using the bottleneck distance between the estimated persistent homology and the true persistent homology. The connection to statistics comes from the fact that when viewed as a nonparametric regression problem, the bottleneck distance is bounded by the sup-norm loss. Consequently, a sharp asymptotic minimax bound is determined under the sup-norm risk over Holder classes of functions for the nonparametric regression problem on manifolds. This provides good convergence properties for the persistent homology estimator in terms of the expected bottleneck distance.

description: Using a covariant spectator quark model we estimate valence quark contributions to the F1*(Q2) and F2*(Q2) transition form factors for the gamma N -> P11(1440) reaction. The Roper resonance, P11(1440), is assumed to be the first radial excitation of the nucleon. The present model requires no extra parameters except for those already fixed by the previous studies for the nucleon. Our results are consistent with the experimental data in the high Q2 region, and those from lattice QCD. We also estimate the meson cloud contributions, focusing on the low Q2 region, where they are expected to be dominant.

description: Plants display physical displacements during their growth due to photosynthesis, which converts light into chemical energy. This can be interpreted as plants acting as actuators with a built-in power source. This paper presents a method to create plant robots that move and perform tasks by harnessing the actuation output of plants: displacement and force generated from the growing process. As the target plant, radish sprouts are employed, and their displacement and force are characterized, followed by the calculation of power and energy densities. Based on the characterization, two different plant robots are designed and fabricated: a rotational robot and a gripper. The former demonstrates ground locomotion, achieving a travel distance of 14.6 mm with an average speed of 0.8 mm/h. The latter demonstrates the picking and placing of an object with a 0.1-g mass by the light-controlled open-close motion of plant fingers. A good agreement between the experimental and model values is observed in the specific data of the mobile robot, suggesting that obtaining the actuation characteristics of plants can enable the design and prediction of behavior in plant robots. These results pave the way for the realization of novel types of environmentally friendly and sustainable robots.

description: We consider the behavior of open strings on AdS wormholes in Gauss-Bonnet theory, which are the Gauss-Bonnet gravity duals of a pair of field theories. A string with both endpoints on the same side of the wormhole describes two charges within the same field theory, which exhibit Coulomb interaction for small separation. On the other hand, a string extending through the wormhole describes two charges which live in different field theories, and they exhibit a spring-like confining potential. A transition occurs when there is a pair of charges present within each field theory: for small separation each pair of charges exhibits Coulomb interaction, while for large separation the charges in the different field theories pair up and exhibit confinement. Two steadily-moving charges in different field theories can occupy the same location provided that their speed is less than a critical speed, which also plays the role of a subluminal speed limit. However, for some wormhole backgrounds, charges moving at the critical speed cannot occupy the same location and energy is transferred from the leading charge to the lagging one. We also show that strings on AdS wormholes in supergravity theories without higher-derivative curvature terms can exhibit these properties as well.

description: Modern cloud computing advances have been pressing application modernization in the last 15 years, stressing the need for application redesign towards the use of more distributed and ephemeral resources. From the initial IaaS and PaaS approaches, to microservices and now to the serverless model (and especially the Function as a Service approach), new challenges arise constantly for application developers. This paper presents a design and development environment that aims to ease application evolution and migration to the new FaaS model, based on the widely used Node-RED open source tool. The goal of the environment is to enable a more user friendly and abstract function and workflow creation for complex FaaS applications. To this end, it bypasses workflow description and function reuse limitations of the current FaaS platforms, by providing an extendable, pattern-enriched palette of readymade, reusable functionality that can be combined in arbitrary ways. The environment embeds seamless DevOps processes for generating the deployable artefacts (i.e. functions and images) of the FaaS platform (Openwhisk). Annotation mechanisms are also available for the developer to dictate diverse execution options or management guidelines towards the deployment and operation stacks. The evaluation is based on case studies of indicative scenarios, including creating, registering and executing functions and flows based on the Node-RED runtime, embedding of existing legacy code in a FaaS environment, parallelizing a workload, collecting data at the edge and creating function orchestrators to accompany the application. For the latter, a detailed argumentation is provided as to why this process should not be constrained by the ”double billing” principle of FaaS.

We shall show that all $n$-representation-finite algebras are twisted fractionally Calabi-Yau. We also show that for any $\ell>0$, twisted $\frac{n(\ell-1)}{\ell}$-Calabi-Yau algebras of global dimension at most $n$ are $n$-representation-finite. As an application, we give a construction of $n$-representation-finite algebras using the tensor product.

description: A six-wave set-up is described to determine molecular dynamics in the condensed phase. Applying two independent time delays between excitation and probe pulses additional information on the dynamics should be obtainable. We show experimentally that such investigations can be carried out with noisy light having intensity fluctuations in the femtosecond region. As first result we found a fast relaxation time in neat nitrobenzene of 100 fs, becoming even faster in mixtures with low viscosity liquids. Switching on a Raman resonance yields a longer relaxation time, which could be explained by an additional contribution by that vibration.

description: We study the one-loop potential of large-N QCD with adjoint Dirac fermions. Space-time is a discretization of R^3 x S^1 where the compact direction consists of a single lattice site. We use Wilson fermions with different values of the quark mass m and set the lattice spacings in the compact and non-compact directions to be a_t and a_s respectively. Extending the results of JHEP 0906:091,2009, we prove that if the ratio xi = a_s/a_t obeys 0> 1, while for large masses K ~ O(1). Despite certain UV sensitivities of the lattice one-loop potential, this phase structure is similar to the one obtained in the continuum works of Kovtun-Unsal-Yaffe, Myers-Ogilvie, and Hollowood-Myers. We explain the physical origin of the cascade of transitions and its relation to the embedding of space-time into color space.

Effects of shell abrasion and aerial exposure on the performance of Pacific Oysters Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793) cultured in Tasmania, Australia.

description: Two of the major management strategies used by Tasmanian oyster farmers for grow-out of unattached (single-seed) Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) are shell abrasion, occurring either deliberately or inadvertently during mechanised grading, and manipulation of intertidal growing height (degree of aerial exposure). Some farmers assert that these strategies can promote faster meat growth, and hence higher condition indices [meat weight relative either to shell cavity volume (Clvol), or to shell weight (Clshe1l). These reports, however, are anecdotal and have not been substantiated in the literature. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of shell abrasion and aerial exposure on the performance (growth, condition index, shell shape, glycogen content and gonad development) of Pacific oysters cultured in mesh baskets, in two separate experiments, on two commercial leases in Tasmania.

description: Higgs mediated flavor violating electromagnetic interactions, induced at the one--loop level by a nondiagonal $Hf_if_j$ vertex, with $f_i$ and $f_j$ charged leptons or quarks, are studied within the context of a completely general effective Yukawa sector that comprises $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$--invariant operators of up to dimension--six. Exact formulae for the one--loop $γf_if_j$ and $γγf_if_j$ couplings are presented and their related processes used to study the phenomena of Higgs mediated lepton flavor violation. The experimental limit on the $μ\to eγ$ decay is used to derive a bound on the branching ratio of the $μ\to eγγ$ transition, which is 6 orders of magnitude stronger than the current experimental limit. Previous results on the $τ\to μγ$ and $τ\to μγγ$ decays are reproduced. The possibility of detecting signals of lepton flavor violation at $γγ$ colliders is explored through the $γγ\to l_il_j$ reaction, putting special emphasis on the $τμ$ final state. Using the bound imposed on the $Hτμ$ vertex by the current experimental data on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, it is found that about half a hundred events may be produced in the International Linear Collider.

description: Reversibly switching the light absorption of organic molecules by redox processes is of interest for applications in sensors, light harvesting, smart materials, and medical diagnostics. This work presents a symmetrical benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivative with a high fluorescence quantum yield in solution and in the crystalline state and shows by spectroelectrochemical analysis that reversible switching of UV absorption in the neutral state, to broadband Vis/NIR absorption in the 1st oxidized state, to sharp band Vis absorption in the 2nd oxidized state, is possible. For the one-electron oxidized species, formation of a delocalized radical is confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroelectrochemistry. Furthermore, our results reveal an increasing quinoidal distortion upon the 1st and 2nd oxidation, which can be used as the leitmotif for the development of BTD based redox switches. © 2020 The Authors.

description: Twisted bilayer two-dimensional transition-metal dichalgocenides (TMDCs) exhibit a range of novel phenomena such as the formation of moiré excitons and strongly correlated phases. The coupling between the layers is crucial for the resulting physical properties and depends not just on the twist angle but also on the details of the fabrication process. Here, we present an approach for the analysis of this interlayer coupling via Raman spectroscopy. By exciting the C-exciton resonance of the TMDCs, optical (high-frequency) interlayer Raman modes are activated that are too weak in intensity at excitation energies far below the C exciton. This is due to the wave function of the C exciton, which expands - in contrast to A and B excitons - over both layers and, therefore, couples the layers electronically. We present optical interlayer Raman modes in twisted 2L TMDCs and show that they can be used as a measure of the interlayer coupling between the individual layers.

description: We study aspects of the large-N volume independence on R**3 x L**G, where L**G is a G-site lattice for Yang-Mills theory with adjoint Wilson-fermions. We find the critical number of lattice sites above which the center-symmetry analysis on L**G agrees with the one on the continuum S**1. For Wilson parameter set to one and G>=2, the two analyses agree. One-loop radiative corrections to Wilson-line masses are finite, reminiscent of the UV-insensitivity of the Higgs mass in deconstruction/Little-Higgs theories. Even for theories with G=1, volume independence in QCD(adj) may be guaranteed to work by tuning one low-energy effective field theory parameter. Within the parameter space of the theory, at most three operators of the 3d effective field theory exhibit one-loop UV-sensitivity. This opens the analytical prospect to study 4d non-perturbative physics by using lower dimensional field theories (d=3, in our example).

description: To provide clinical characteristics and to quantify the number of patients receiving the extemporaneous combination of the calcium channel blocker amlodipine and the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor zofenopril in a real-world setting. This evidence can provide a snapshot of the potential users of the two molecules in a single pill combination (SPC). Retrospective observational study using data from the IQVIA Italian Longitudinal Patient Database. Adult patients firstly prescribed with amlodipine and zofenopril between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2020 were identified and demographic and clinical characteristics were extracted. Treatment adherence was evaluated as proportion of days covered (PDC). The potential number of patients eligible for a SPC was calculated. A population of 2394 hypertensive patients, mean age of 68.6 years ±12.7, 52.6% male were treated with amlodipine and zofenopril. The majority of patients (54.5%) were low adherent (PDC <40%), 25.9% were intermediate adherent and only 19.6% were high adherent (>80%) to therapy. Around 42,500 adult hypertensive patients were estimated to be prescribed the extemporaneous combination in 2019 in Italy, being potentially eligible for treatment with amlodipine and zofenopril SPC. The administration of the extemporaneous combination of zofenopril and amlodipine in hypertensive patients is a common practice in Italy. The development of a SPC can be a viable treatment option to simplify therapy and to increase adherence in hypertensive patients who are already on the two monotherapies in combination.

Structure and ideology in the Tasmanian Labor Party: Postmaterialism and party change
Creators: name: Patmore, PJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Tasmanian Labor Party has found itself, like many western social democratic parties, recently subject to challenge; not from its traditional enemy, the economic right, but from a new postmaterialist left. This thesis considers the concept of postmaterialism, its rise and role in the formation of new ecocentric political parties, and its impact on the structure, ideology and electoral strategy of the Tasmanian Labor Party. Maurice Duverger's typology of political parties has been used to elucidate and consider the characteristics and formation of political parties and the importance of electoral systems - particularly proportional representation - in achieving representational success. This typology, coupled with Ronald Inglehart's concept of postmaterialism shows how a conflict of values and a new ecocentric ideology has given rise to new environmental movements and green political parties. This thesis finds that, in a Tasmanian context, both the Labor Party's history and the impact of Tasmania's peculiar electoral system contributed to the emergence of environmental parties in Tasmania. Further, it finds that the strength of their emergence and the significance of post materialism's ecocentric ideology necessitated a serious response from Tasmanian Labor. National and Labor Party surveys, confirmed the existence and persistence of postmaterialism - both in the broader Tasmanian community and the Tasmanian ALP. As a result of this research, it is argued that some options in meeting the postmaterialist challenge could not be utilised by the Tasmanian Labor Party. Major structural reform would not be effective and ideological renewal would have only limited effect. Thus, the Party has pursued a strategy of retaining party unity while attempting to attract sufficient postmaterialist support to gain majority government.

description: We reconsider the toy-model of topological inflation, based on the R*4-modified gravity. By using its equivalence to the certain scalar-tensor gravity model in four space-time dimensions, we compute the inflaton scalar potential and investigate a possibility of inflation. We confirm the existence of the slow-roll inflation with an exit. However, the model suffers from the eta-problem that gives rise to the unacceptable value of the spectral index n_s of scalar perturbations.

description: Treatment options for adults with chronic cough (CC) are limited. This study reports on the health status and experiences of patients with recent healthcare evaluation for CC. This prospective, UK, cross-sectional study surveyed adults with a CC evaluation within the previous 12 months. All were never smokers (or ex-smokers for ≥12 months). Subjects completed five validated patient-reported outcome measures: cough visual analogue scale (VAS), EuroQoL 5 dimension, 5 level (EQ-5D-5L), EQ-5D VAS, Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. A total of 101 participants were recruited: 71% were female, mean age was 54.9 ± 15.2 years. Median (IQR) CC duration was 36 (11, 120) months. Mean self-reported CC severity (Cough-VAS) was 51.3 ± 22.9 over the previous 2 weeks and 62.9 ± 23.7 on the worst day of coughing. EQ-5D values were lower for CC patients than population norms. Subanalyses revealed that EQ-5D and LCQ scores were significantly impacted by CC duration and the number of healthcare providers (HCPs) visited. WPAI analysis showed a 27.6% work time impairment because of participants’ CC. The number of HCP attendances ranged from 1 to 10 (3.3 ± 2.8) before diagnosis was confirmed. Treatment was being prescribed to 87% of participants and comprised mainly steroids (nasal [19%] and inhaled [25%]), beta agonists (24%), and proton pump inhibitors (21%); 44% of patients were dissatisfied with treatment efficacy. Real-world data from a nationally representative UK population show significant unmet needs associated with CC, including multiple healthcare visits and limited treatment effectiveness, resulting in inadequate cough control and impaired health status.

Maximal symetrization and reduction of fields: application to wavefunctions in solid state nanostructures

description: A novel general formalism for the maximal symetrization and reduction of fields (MSRF) is proposed and applied to wavefunctions in solid state nanostructures. Its primary target is to provide an essential tool for the study and analysis of the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor quantum heterostructures with relatively high point-group symmetry, and studied with the $k\cdot p$ formalism. Nevertheless the approach is valid in a much larger framework than $k\cdot p$ theory, it is applicable to arbitrary systems of coupled partial differential equations (e.g. strain equations or Maxwell equations). For spinless problems (scalar equations), one can use a systematic Spatial Domain Reduction (SDR) technique which allows, for every irreducible representation, to reduce the set of equations on a minimal domain with automatic incorporation of the boundary conditions at the border, which are shown to be non-trivial in general. For a vectorial or spinorial set of functions, the SDR technique must be completed by the use of an optimal basis in vectorial or spinorial space (in a crystal we call it the Optimal Bloch function Basis - OBB). The advantages are numerous: sharper insights on the symmetry properties of every eigenstate, minimal coupling schemes, analytically and computationally exploitable at the component function level, minimal computing domains. The formalism can be applied also as a postprocessing operation, offering all subsequent analytical and computationnal advantages of symmetrization. The specific case of a quantum wire (QWRs) with $C_{3v}$ point group symmetry is used as a concrete illustration of the application of MSRF.
