description: Canfield DE, Jr., Bachmann RW, Hoyer MV, Johansson LS, Søndergaard M, and Jeppesen E. 2018. To measure chlorophyl or phytoplankton biovolume: an aquatic conundrum with implications for the management of lakes. Lake Reserv Manage. 35:181–192. The log10-transformed relationship between measured phytoplankton biovolumes and chlorophyll concentrations, surrogates for algal biomass, was examined using 13,000-plus paired samples collected from lakes in Denmark (250), the continental United States (1835), and Florida (159). A positive (R2 = 0.57) relationship was found but predicted biovolumes had a 95% confidence interval of 11–912%. Regressing chlorophyll as opposed to phytoplankton biovolume against total phosphorus (TP) (R2 = 0.43 vs. R2 = 0.21), total nitrogen (TN) (R2 = 0.24 vs. R2 = 0.08), and Secchi disk (SD) (R2 = 0.60 vs. R2 = 0.39) yielded stronger relationships. Three algal groups (Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, and Bacillariophyceae) contributed approximately 100% of the biovolume in some samples. For these groups and samples, biovolume increased significantly with chlorophyll (R2 = 0.35, R2 = 0.27, and R2 = 0.31, respectively) and TP (R2 = 0.18, R2 = 0.13, and R2 = 0.13) and decreased significantly with increases in SD (R2 = 0.29, R2 = 0.31, and R2 = 0.17). All empirical relationships had substantial confidence intervals. Contingency tables for variance within the independent (horizontal variance) and dependent (vertical variance) variables are presented, providing managers information on how much change is required to insure noticeable effects. If resources are limited, chlorophyll is recommended for monitoring long-term trends because it provides an estimate of biomass magnitude and has better relationships with nutrients and SD. Managers may integrate occasional biovolume measurements if concerned with Cyanophyta abundance, taste and odor production, or changing algal population dynamics.

description: As a system which is known to admit classical wormhole instanton solutions, Einstein-Kalb-Ramond (KR) antisymmetric tensor theory is revisited. As an untouched issue, the existence of fermionic zero modes in the background of classical axionic wormhole spacetime and its physical implications is addressed. In particular, in the context of a minisuperspace quantum cosmology model based on this Einstein-KR antisymmetric tensor theory, ``quantum wormhole'', defined as a state represented by a solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation satisfying an appropriate wormhole boundary condition, is discussed. An exact, analytic wave function for quantum wormholes is actually found. Finally, it is proposed that the minisuperspace model based on this theory in the presence of the cosmological constant may serve as an interesting simple system displaying an overall picture of entire universe's history from the deep quantum domain all the way to the classical domain.

Measurement of the Newtonian Constant of Gravitation $G$ by Precision Displacement Sensors

description: The Newtonian constant of gravitation $G$ historically has the largest relative uncertainty over all other fundamental constants with some discrepancies in values between different measurements. We propose a new scheme to measure $G$ by detecting the position of a test mass in a precision displacement sensor induced by a force modulation from periodically rotating source masses. To seek different kinds of experimental setups, laser interferometers for the gravitational wave detection and optically-levitated microspheres are analyzed. The high sensitivity of the gravitational wave detectors to the displacement is advantageous to have a high signal-to-noise ratio of $10^{-6}$ with a few hours of the measurement time, whereas the tunability of parameters in optically-levitated microspheres can enable competitive measurements with a smaller scale setup dedicated to the $G$ measurement. To achieve an accuracy of $G$ better than currently available measurements, developments in force calibration is essential. These measurements can provide an alternative method to measure $G$ precisely, potentially leading to the improvement in the accuracy of $G$, as well as a better search for non-Newtonian gravity at a length scale of $\sim1$ m.

Improving nurses' breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes via online education module
Creators: name: Onu, Michelle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: A plethora of research has been conducted regarding nurses and their impact in reference to their breastfeeding patients. It has been proven that mothers tend to follow the instructions given to them by their nurses about taking care of their young ones. First time mothers are often unequipped with the correct information and primarily depend on their caregivers to learn what is required about motherhood and infant parenting. Research has shown that nurses have a great influence on mother’s decision making about their infants, yet are not always supportive and encouraging due to poor attitudes and lack and knowledge. Purpose of Project: This DNP project aims at improving nurses’ attitudes and knowledge towards breast feeding through an online training module. The benefits of breastfeeding are crucial to both the mothers and infants and would greatly reduce the cost medical care by avoiding some diseases that result from inadequate breastfeeding.Methodology: Study population- Registered Nurses who are currently enrolled as DNP students at Rutgers University.Recruited virtually via recruitment emails.Participation is totally voluntary and identities of all students will be kept concealed. Participants reserve the right to withdrawal from the study at any time.Intended sample size is 20 participants.Setting (Virtually completed) Participants will have approximately 48 hours to complete the pre-survey, 2 weeks to complete the online breastfeeding education module and after 48 hours to complete the post-survey. Results: The data collected includes pre- and post-test scores from 20 program participants (n=20). The mean pre-test score (PreIIFAS) for participants’ score on the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was 62.3 (sd 8.46), while the mean post-test score (PostIIFAS) was 79.65 (sd 6.99). The mean change in test scores was 17.35 (sd 6.37). These results indicate that participants breastfeeding knowledge and attitude increased significantly as a result of the breast feeding intervention program. Implications: Utilization of breastfeeding education modules promote advanced knowledge and better attitudes regarding breastfeeding.Contributions to positive breastfeeding experiences/outcomes Contribution to maternal, neonatal, and pediatric outcomesAid the nation in saving approximately $3 billion dollars annually from cost related to early/premature weaning of breastfeeding
Studies on the mechanisms that contribute to the endoplasmic reticulum quality control system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: Dorrington Quinones, Mariana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Molecular biology

description: The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), which serves as a site for protein biogenesis in budding yeast, contains a quality control system that ensures that only proteins that have attained a native conformation are deployed to other destinations in the cell. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms that encompass the quality control system, two studies were conducted. First, I tested whether the host of chaperones and secretion machinery that is induced by the Unfolded Protein Response during ER stress can have a positive impact on protein biogenesis. My results indicate that degradation of misfolded proteins, rather than refolding, seems to be one of the major mechanisms activated by the Unfolded Protein Response that the cell uses to reduce the burden on the ER. Packaging of certain proteins into ER-derived vesicles seems to increase in order to counter balance the load in the ER during stress. Finally, the Unfolded Protein Response seems to play a role in the processing of proteins after the stress is removed; however this rescue does not appear to be dependent on the ER membrane expansion component of the Unfolded Protein Response but rather in other players like chaperones, ER-associated degradation and forward traffic. Second, a genome-wide screen was conducted to identify novel players involved in ER protein retention and export. For this purpose, extracellular secretion of the ER resident protein, Kar2p, was monitored in strains of the yeast gene deletion collection. We identified 73 strains in which deletion of a particular gene causes increased secretion of Kar2p. Secretion of Kar2p in some of these strains depended on an intact Unfolded Protein Response and moreover, deletion of some genes was synthetic lethal with deletion of HAC1, placing these genes as prime candidates to be involved in protein biogenesis. Further characterization of these strains revealed novel candidates involved in protein glycosylation, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein maturation and quality control. These results represent a strong starting point to gain further insight in how the processes necessary for proper ER homeostasis are interrelated.

description: The Unruh effect and a closely related form of PCT-symmetry have been proved in general for finite-component Wightman fields by Bisognano and Wichmann. While this result incorporates most of the fields occurring in four-dimensional high-energy physics, there still are field theories of interest that are not covered (e.g., low-dimensional anyon fields and infinite-component fields). From the spectrum condition, Borchers has derived a couple of commutation relations which 'almost, but only almost' imply the Unruh effect and PCT-symmetry. We show that this result does imply the Unruh effect and PCT-symmetry provided that the operators involved in Borchers' commutation relations act geometrically on a local net of observables.

Adapting Hoek-Brown Failure Criterion to Rockfill Material and Its Use in 3D Analysis of a Waste Dump Facility
Creators: name: Ardıç, Ömer
name: Ayderman, Aykut
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The strength envelopes developed by Leps (1970) have become the industry standard for the design of rockfill embankments, and his chart is widely used, as recommended by both the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) and the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). Since Leps’s study does not provide a direct relationship for failure envelopes, most practitioners use discrete readings from his chart and perform a stability analysis of rockfills accordingly. However, a mathematically expressed strength model (failure criterion) is necessary for advanced numerical analyses, such as finite element or finite difference analyses. Leps’s study is based on the fact that the relationship between shear strength and normal stress is not linear for geomaterials, especially granular materials such as rockfills. The Generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB) failure criterion is one of the nonlinear strength models widely used in rock mechanics. Several software packages developed for numerical analysis of geotechnical problems offer this failure criterion by default. Therefore, if a relationship between Leps’s strength envelopes and the GHB failure criterion is developed, it can be possible to perform complex numerical analyses of the structures with rockfill material. The motivation of the authors to study this subject is to perform analyses of rockfill embankments and waste rocks placed in such locations that simple two-dimensional analyses cannot represent the actual conditions. A potentially acid-generating waste dump facility designed by the authors is an excellent example of such problems because it is located in a highly seismic region of Turkey and a narrow valley with relatively complex geotechnical characteristics. This article presents a practical relationship for modeling rockfill materials and presents a 3- dimensional stability analysis of a waste dump facility using this relationship.
Simple deterministic dynamical systems with fractal diffusion coefficients

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze a simple model of deterministic diffusion. The model consists of a one-dimensional periodic array of scatterers in which point particles move from cell to cell as defined by a piecewise linear map. The microscopic chaotic scattering process of the map can be changed by a control parameter. This induces a parameter dependence for the macroscopic diffusion coefficient. We calculate the diffusion coefficent and the largest eigenmodes of the system by using Markov partitions and by solving the eigenvalue problems of respective topological transition matrices. For different boundary conditions we find that the largest eigenmodes of the map match to the ones of the simple phenomenological diffusion equation. Our main result is that the difffusion coefficient exhibits a fractal structure by varying the system parameter. To understand the origin of this fractal structure, we give qualitative and quantitative arguments. These arguments relate the sequence of oscillations in the strength of the parameter-dependent diffusion coefficient to the microscopic coupling of the single scatterers which changes by varying the control parameter.

S. farm products; (2) the volume of funds expended by product class and type of activity; (3) the nature and scope of promotional programs; and (4) methods of financing and source of funds. The data on which this report is based were obtained from a mail survey of all known agricultural promotional groups. Before initiating the survey it was necessary to determine and document the population of the universe, as this had not previously been done. A list of potential respondents, numbering slightly more than 2,100, was developed through the assistance of the State departments of agriculture, extension marketing specialists at the land- grant colleges, the Farmer Cooperative Service, and by reviewing published materials.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper proposes a real-time approach for long-term inertial navigation based only on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for self-localizing wheeled robots. The approach builds upon two components: 1) a robust detector that uses recurrent deep neural networks to dynamically detect a variety of situations of interest, such as zero velocity or no lateral slip; and 2) a state-of-the-art Kalman filter which incorporates this knowledge as pseudo-measurements for localization. Evaluations on a publicly available car dataset demonstrates that the proposed scheme may achieve a final precision of 20 m for a 21 km long trajectory of a vehicle driving for over an hour, equipped with an IMU of moderate precision (the gyro drift rate is 10 deg/h). To our knowledge, this is the first paper which combines sophisticated deep learning techniques with state-of-the-art filtering methods for pure inertial navigation on wheeled vehicles and as such opens up for novel data-driven inertial navigation techniques. Moreover, albeit taylored for IMU-only based localization, our method may be used as a component for self-localization of wheeled robots equipped with a more complete sensor suite.

description: Roy's equations are used to check if scalar-isoscalar pi-pi amplitudes fitted to the ``up-flat'' and ``down-flat'' phase shift solutions fulfill crossing symmetry below 1 GeV. It is shown that the amplitude fitted to the ``down-flat'' solution satisfies crossing symmetry while the ``up-flat'' one does not. In such a way the ``up-down'' ambiguity in the scalar-isoscalar phase shifts is resolved in favour of the ``down-flat'' solution.

description: We propose a minimal predictive inverse seesaw model based on two right-handed neutrinos and two additional singlets, leading to the same low energy neutrino mass matrix as in the Littlest Seesaw (LS) (type I) model. In order to implement such a Littlest Inverse Seesaw (LIS) model, we have used an $S_{4}$ family symmetry, together with other various symmetries, flavons and driving fields. The resulting LIS model leads to an excellent fit to the low energy neutrino parameters, including the prediction of a normal neutrino mass ordering, exactly as in the usual LS model. However, unlike the LS model, the LIS model allows charged lepton flavour violating (CLFV) processes and lepton conversion in nuclei within reach of the forthcoming experiments.

Studies on mammalian pre-mRNA splicing : connections to transcription and cancer
Creators: David, Charles J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Biochemistry
Molecular biology

description: This thesis presents two separate pieces of work pertaining to pre-mRNA splicing in mammalian cells. The first part examines the regulation of the alternative splicing of the PKM gene in cancer cells, while the second part investigates the physical connections between the transcriptional apparatus and splicing factors. Cancer cells uniformly alter key aspects of their metabolism, including their glucose usage. In contrast to quiescent cells, which use most of their glucose for oxidative phosphorylation when oxygen is present, under the same conditions, most of the glucose consumed by cancer cells is converted to lactate. This phenomenon is known as aerobic glycolysis, and is critical for cancer cell growth. The pyruvate kinase isoform expressed by the cell is a key determinant of glucose usage. Pyruvate kinase in most tissues is produced from the PKM gene, which is alternatively spliced to produce to produce the PKM1 or PKM2 isoforms, which contain exons 9 or 10 respectively. Adult tissues express predominantly the PKM1 isoform, which is universally reverted to the embryonic PKM2 isoform in cancer cells. PKM2 expression promotes aerobic glycolysis. In Chapter 3, I describe a mechanism by which cancer cells promote switching to PKM2. We show that PKM exon 9 is flanked by binding sites for the RNA-binding proteins hnRNP A1/A2 and PTB. These proteins bind to exon 9 and repress its inclusion in the mRNA, resulting in PKM2 production. Additionally, we show that hnRNP A1/A2 and PTB are all overexpressed in cancers in a way that precisely correlates with the expression of PKM2. Finally, we show that the oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc promotes PKM2 expression by transcriptionally upregulating the genes encoding hnRNP A1/A2 and PTB. In the second part of my work, presented in Chapter 5, I examine the coupling of transcription and splicing. The RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) plays an important role in ensuring that pre-mRNA transcripts are efficiently spliced, most likely through interactions between splicing factors and the CTD. We have established a biochemical complementation system that has facilitated the identification of a splicing factor that binds to the CTD. Surprisingly, purification of the factor revealed it to be a complex containing U2AF65 and the Prp19 complex, two central splicing factors that had not previously been shown to interact. This complex is functional: I present evidence that the two factors can only activate splicing of the IgMA3 pre-mRNA when they are engaged in a complex. I go on to show that U2AF65 binds directly to the CTD, and this interaction stimulates the RNA binding of U2AF65.

description: Chapter 1. Recent synthetic approaches towards the resveratrol family of oligomeric natural Products This chapter outlines some of the past and present efforts in the field of resveratrol-based oligomeric natural product synthesis. Both biosynthetic approaches and stepwise synthetic approaches are discussed to present the current level of understanding regarding the controlled synthesis of these molecules in order to place the studies described in chapter 2 and 3 in better context. Chapter 2. Development of a general synthetic method towards different dimeric structures of the resveratrol family We have developed a general approach to achieve selective synthesis of the major dimeric architectures within the resveratrol family with the use of a unique key common intermediate possessing three aryl rings. Syntheses of three subclasses of resveratrol dimeric structures are reported. Chapter 3. Synthetic efforts towards dihydrobenzofuran-containing higher order resveratrol oligomers Finally, this chapter describes our current studies towards more complex members of the resveratrol family. A concise approach for dihydrobenzofuran ring installation on the sevenmembered carbon framework of resveratrol-based oligomers is reported. The formation of 7,5- fused ring natural product cores via Friedel- Crafts cyclizations provides controlled access to some of the highly complex architectures within the resveratrol family.

It is shown that under the influence of acceleration (1) the lifetime of particles is modified and (2) new processes (like the decay of the proton) become possible. This is illustrated by considering scalar models for the decay of muons, pions, and protons. We discuss the close conceptual relation between these processes and the Unruh effect.

Mit dem Adjektiv "orthodox" wird jene Kirche bezeichnet, die sich als die Bewahrerin der rechten christlichen Tradition versteht. Das Schwergewicht dieser Kirche liegt heute in Griechenland, in der Sowjetunion, in Rumänien und Bulgarien, aber es gibt auch orthodoxe Kirchen in Ägypten, dem Vorderen Orient, in Nordamerika und in anderen Gebieten der Welt.
Da auch die anderen christlichen Kirchen Anspruch auf Gültigkeit ihrer Lehre erheben, kann es nicht ausbleiben, daß der Anspruch und das Selbstverständnis der Orthodoxie kritisch befragt werden. Aber natürlich erhebt auch umgekehrt die Orthodoxe Kirche Einwände gegen Auffassungen, die sie für bedenklich oder gar für falsch hält. All dies geschieht in unserer Zeit aber normalerweise in einer großen Offenheit und Aufgeschlossenheit. Da in unserem Land das Nebeneinander von Katholizismus und Protestantismus häufig mit Ökumene gleichgesetzt wird, ist es sinnvoll, sich auch der übrigen Partner zu erinnern, die sich am ökumenischen Gespräch beteiligen. Dies soll nun heute im Hinblick auf die Orthodoxe Kirche geschehen. Angesichts des Gewichtes der Tradition, das die Orthodoxie bestimmt, ist es erforderlich, sich zunächst einige historische Grundlagen zu verdeutlichen.

Many-body dynamics in long-range hopping model in the presence of correlated and uncorrelated disorder

description: Much have been learned about universal properties of entanglement entropy (EE) and participation ration (PR) for Anderson localization. We find a new sub-extensive scaling with system size of the above measures for algebraic localization as noticed in one-dimensional long-range hopping models in the presence of uncorrelated disorder. While the scaling exponent of EE seems to vary universally with the long distance localization exponent of single particle states (SPSs), PR does not show such university as it also depends on the short range correlations of SPSs. On the other hand, in presence of correlated disorder, an admixture of two species of SPSs (ergodic delocalized and non-ergodic multifractal or localized) are observed, which leads to extensive (sub-extensive) scaling of EE (PR). Considering typical many-body eigenstates, we obtain above results that are further corroborated with the asymptotic dynamics. Additionally, a finite time secondary slow growth in EE is witnessed only for correlated case while for uncorrelated case there exists only primary growth followed by the saturation. We believe that our findings from typical many-body eigenstate would remain unaltered even in the weakly interacting limit.

description: Within a one-dimensional semi-classical model with a Morse potential the possibility of infrared multi-photon dissociation of vibrationally excited nitrogen oxide was studied. The dissociation thresholds of typical driving forces and couplings were found to be similar, which indicates that the results were robust to variations of the potential and of the definition of dissociation rate.

A New Analysis of the pi+pi- and pi0pi0 Data

description: A joint analysis of the pi+pi- and pi0pi0 S-wave amplitudes including results of three experiments has been performed. Using our theoretical model of the pion-pion production in which not only the pion exchange but also the a1(1260) meson exchange were taken into account we have obtained a unique solution (called "down-flat") for the scalar-isoscalar phase shifts. Thus a long-standing problem of ambiguities in the S-wave isoscalar amplitude has been finally resolved and the second ("up-flat") solution was eliminated.

description: We propose a method of training quantization thresholds (TQT) for uniform symmetric quantizers using standard backpropagation and gradient descent. Contrary to prior work, we show that a careful analysis of the straight-through estimator for threshold gradients allows for a natural range-precision trade-off leading to better optima. Our quantizers are constrained to use power-of-2 scale-factors and per-tensor scaling of weights and activations to make it amenable for hardware implementations. We present analytical support for the general robustness of our methods and empirically validate them on various CNNs for ImageNet classification. We are able to achieve near-floating-point accuracy on traditionally difficult networks such as MobileNets with less than 5 epochs of quantized (8-bit) retraining. Finally, we present Graffitist, a framework that enables automatic quantization of TensorFlow graphs for TQT (available at https://github.com/Xilinx/graffitist ).

description: This thesis presents results on the study of electromagnetic (EM) activity in the MicroBooNE Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detector. The LArTPC detector technology provides bubble-chamber like information on neutrino interaction final states, necessary to perform precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters. Accelerator-based oscillation experiments heavily rely on the appearance channel νµ → νe to make such measurements. Identifying and reconstructing the energy of the outgoing electrons from such interactions is therefore crucial for their success. This work focuses on two sources of EM activity: Michel electrons in the 10-50 MeV energy range, and photons from π^0 decay in the ~30-300 MeV range. Studies of biases in the energy reconstruction measurement, and energy resolution are performed. The impact of shower topology at different energies is discussed, and the importance of thresholding and other reconstruction effects on producing an asymmetric and biased energy measurement are highlighted. This work further presents a study of the calorimetric separation of electrons and photons with a focus on the shower energy dependence of the separation power.
Entropy of Non-Extreme Rotating Black Holes in String Theories

description: We formulate the Rindler space description of rotating black holes in string theories. We argue that the comoving frame is the natural frame for studying thermodynamics of rotating black holes and statistical analysis of rotating black holes gets simplified in this frame. We also calculate statistical entropies of general class of rotating black holes in heterotic strings on tori by applying D-brane description and the correspondence principle. We find at least qualitative agreement between the Bekenstein-Hawking entropies and the statistical entropies of these black hole solutions.

description: Монография посвящена некоторым примерам использования электрогидроимпульсного эффекта (эффекта Юткина) на железнодорожном транспорте. Показывается, что силовые характеристики электрического разряда в жидкости можно разделить на две группы: быстрые, связанные с возникновением ударных волн в жидкости, и медленные, обусловленные появлением течений в жидкости. И те и другие можно использовать в железнодорожных технологиях, например, ударные волны — в быстродействующих выключателя постоянного тока, в устройствах сварки ударом, при рыхлении смерзшегося угля в полувагонах для придания первому сыпучести, вторые — при ударных испытаниях подвижного состава. Монография может быть полезна для научных сотрудников и инженеров, работающих в области создания новых технологий.

description: The height $H(n)$ of $n$, introduced by Pillai in 1929, is the smallest positive integer $i$ such that the $i$th iterate of Euler's totient function at $n$ is $1$. H. N. Shapiro (1943) studied the structure of the set of all numbers at a height. We state a formula for the height function due to Shapiro and use it to list steps to generate numbers at any height. This turns out to be a useful way to think of this construct. In particular, we extend some results of Shapiro regarding the largest odd numbers at a height. We present some theoretical and computational evidence to show that $H$ and its relatives are closely related to the important functions of number theory, namely $π(n)$ and the $n$th prime $p_n$. We conjecture formulas for $π(n)$ and $p_n$ in terms of the height function.

description: We introduce a Wheeler-De Witt approach to quantum cosmology based on the low-energy string effective action, with an effective dilaton potential included to account for non-perturbative effects and, possibly, higher-order corrections. We classify, in particular, four different classes of scattering processes in minisuperspace, and discuss their relevance for the solution of the graceful exit problem.
