description: Current can be pumped through a closed system by changing parameters (or fields) in time. The Kubo formula allows to distinguish between dissipative and non-dissipative contributions to the current. We obtain a Green function expression and an $S$ matrix formula for the associated terms in the generalized conductance matrix: the "geometric magnetism" term that corresponds to adiabatic transport; and the "Fermi golden rule" term which is responsible to the irreversible absorption of energy. We explain the subtle limit of an infinite system, and demonstrate the consistency with the formulas by Landauer and Buttiker, Pretre and Thomas. We also discuss the generalization of the fluctuation-dissipation relation, and the implications of the Onsager reciprocity.

description: We derive a closed, model independent, expression for the electromagnetic correction factor to a phenomenological hadronic scattering length extracted from a hydrogenic atom. It is obtained in a non-relativistic approach and in the limit of a short ranged hadronic interaction to terms of order ((alpha)**2)(log(alpha)) using an extended charge distribution. A hadronic negatively charged pion-proton scattering length of 0.0870(5), in units of inverse charged pion-mass, is deduced, leading to a pion-nucleon coupling constant from the GMO relation equals to 14.04(17).

description: We consider a scenario in which the dominant quartic coupling for the Higgs doublets arises from the F-term potential, rather than the conventional SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y D-term potential, in supersymmetric theories. The quartic coupling arises from a superpotential interaction between the two Higgs doublets and a singlet field, but unlike the case in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model the singlet field is not responsible for the generation of the supersymmetric or holomorphic supersymmetry-breaking masses for the Higgs doublets. We find that this naturally leads to a deviation from the conventional picture of top-Yukawa driven electroweak symmetry breaking -- electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered by the holomorphic supersymmetry breaking mass for the Higgs doublets (the μB term). This allows a significant improvement for fine-tuning in electroweak symmetry breaking, since the top squarks do not play a major role in raising the Higgs boson mass or in triggering electroweak symmetry breaking and thus can be light. The amount of fine-tuning is given by the squared ratio of the lightest Higgs boson mass to the charged Higgs boson mass, which can be made better than 20%. Solid implications of the scenario include a small value for tanβ, less than about 3, and relatively light top squarks.

description: In this paper one studies, within Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT), the case when the sources of information provide imprecise belief functions/masses, and we generalize the DSm rules of combination (classic or hybrid rules) from scalar fusion to sub-unitary interval fusion and, more general, to any set of sub-unitary interval fusion. This work generalizes previous works available in literature which appear limited to IBS (Interval-valued belief structures) in the Transferable Belief Model framework. Numerical didactic examples of these new DSm fusion rules for dealing with imprecise information are also presented.

description: We begin with an introduction to the University of British Columbia Food System Project and to Scenario 5. We then define the problem within our scenario. Next, we identify the value assumptions and biases found within our group and its members. This provides basis for us to reflect upon the UBCFSP’s Vision Statement and Guiding Principles, which we then do. By establishing our position in relation to the UBCFSP and Scenario 5, we are able to define our group’s role in approaching this problem. To address the problem of lack of awareness and participation in composting at UBC, we conduct research of secondary sources and informal interviews to identify the existing tools used to promote composting at UBC. From there we develop an inventory of tools and their respective indicators. After identifying the tools used to encourage awareness and participation in composting at UBC, we assess the effectiveness and barriers of certain tools through a case study at Gage Residence. We begin by outlining the history of the composting program at Gage Residence and then use a surveying method to measure the indicators of certain tools. We discuss our methodology and results, and identify the limitations of our survey. Most importantly, we discuss the conclusions that the survey yields, including the effectiveness, barriers and ways to overcome the barriers of the tools we studied. We then offer our recommendations and reflect upon our participation in the project.

description: We investigate the sensitivity of the non-exclusive nucleon induced deuteron breakup reaction to the three-nucleon interaction and distributions of three-nucleon force effects in inclusive spectra. To this end we solve the three-nucleon Faddeev equation at a number of incoming nucleon laboratory energies using the CD Bonn nucleon-nucleon interaction alone or combined with the 2π-exchange Tucson-Melbourne three-nucleon force. Based on these solutions energy spectra of an outgoing nucleon, at a specified detection angle as well as spectra integrated over that angle, are calculated. By integrating the spectra at a given angle over the energy of the outgoing nucleon the angular distributions of three-nucleon force effects in the breakup process are additionally obtained. Contrary to elastic nucleon-deuteron scattering, where at higher energies significant three-nucleon force effects were encountered for scattering angles around the minimum of the cross section, for the breakup process only moderate effects are found and they are restricted to forward angles. Results of the present investigation show that the large three-nucleon force effects found for some specific complete breakup configurations are reduced substantially in the incomplete spectra when averaging over contributing complete geometries is performed.

description: Gravitational lensing is a well known phenomenon predicted by the General Theory of Relativity. It is now a well-developed observational technique in astronomy and is considered to be a fundamental tool for acquiring information about the nature and distribution of dark matter. In particular, gravitational lensing experiments may be used to search for black holes. It has been proposed that a Schwarzschild black hole may act as a retro-lens (Holz & Wheeler \cite{hw}) which, if illuminated by a powerful light source (e.g. the Sun), deflects light ray paths to large bending angles so that the light may reach the observer. Here, by considering the strong field limit in the deflection angle and confining our analysis to the black hole equatorial plane, we extend the Holz-Wheeler results to slowly spinning Kerr black holes. By considering the Holz-Wheeler geometrical configuration for the lens, source and observer we find that the inclusion of rotation does not substantially change the brightness of the retro-lensing images with respect to the Schwarzschild case. We also discuss the possibility that the next generation space-based telescopes may detect such retro-images and eventually put limits on the rotational parameter of the black hole.

Monetary Policy Shifts and Central Bank Independence

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Financial Economics
subject: Time-varying policy parameters

subject: type of chairman changes

description: Why does low central bank independence generate high macroeconomic instability? A government may periodically appoint a subservient central bank chairman to exploit the inflation-output trade-off, which may generate instability. In a New Keynesian framework, time-varying monetary policy is connected with a “chairman effect.” To identify departures from full independence, I classify chairmen based on tenure (premature exits), and the type of successor (whether the replacement is a government ally). Bayesian estimation using cross-country data confirms the relationship between policy shifts and central bank independence, explaining approximately 25 (15) percent of inflation volatility in developing (advanced) economies. Theoretical analyses reveal a novel propagation mechanism of the policy shock.
Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Data Analysis: Entropic Priors

Subjects: subject: Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability (physics.data-an)

description: The problem of assigning probability distributions which objectively reflect the prior information available about experiments is one of the major stumbling blocks in the use of Bayesian methods of data analysis. In this paper the method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) is used to translate the information contained in the known form of the likelihood into a prior distribution for Bayesian inference. The argument is inspired and guided by intuition gained from the successful use of ME methods in statistical mechanics. For experiments that cannot be repeated the resulting "entropic prior" is formally identical with the Einstein fluctuation formula. For repeatable experiments, however, the expected value of the entropy of the likelihood turns out to be relevant information that must be included in the analysis. The important case of a Gaussian likelihood is treated in detail.

description: The intensity levels allowed by safety standards (ANSI or ICNIRP) limit the amount of light that can be used in a clinical setting to image highly scattering or absorptive tissues with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). To achieve high-sensitivity imaging at low intensity levels, we adapt a detection scheme -- which is used in quantum optics for providing information about spectral correlations of photons -- into a standard spectral domain OCT system. This detection scheme is based on the concept of Dispersive Fourier Transformation, where a fibre introduces a wavelength-dependent time delay measured by a single-pixel detector, usually a high-speed photoreceiver. Here, we use a fast Superconducting Single-Photon Detector (SSPD) as a single-pixel detector and obtain images of a glass stack and a slice of onion at the intensity levels of the order of 10 pW. We also provide a formula for a depth-dependent sensitivity fall-off in such a detection scheme which can be treated as a temporal equivalent of diffraction-grating-based spectrometers.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Solids with spatially varying photonic structure offer gaps to light of a wider range of frequencies than do simple photonic systems. We solve numerically the field distribution in a solid cholesteric with a linearly varying inverse pitch (helical wavevector) using equations we derive for the general case. The simple idea that the position where the Bragg condition is locally satisfied is where reflection takes place is only true in part. Here, reflection is due to a region where the waves are forced to become evanescent, and the rate of variation of structure determines over which distance the waves decay and therefore how complete reflection is. The approximate local Bragg-de Vries schemes are shown to break down in detail at the edges of the gap, and an analytical estimate is given for the transmission coefficient.

description: We report on our serendipitous discovery with the XMM-Newton Observatory of a luminous X-ray emitting cluster of galaxies that is located behind the Andromeda galaxy (M31). X-ray emission from the cluster was detected previously by ROSAT, and cataloged as RX J0046.4+4204, but it was not recognized as a galaxy cluster. The much greater sensitivity of our XMM-Newton observations revealed diffuse x-ray emission that extends at least 5 arcmin and has a surface brightness profile that is well fit by the alpha-beta model with beta = 0.70 +/- 0.08, a core radius r_c = 56 arcsec +/- 16, and alpha = 1.54 +/- 0.25. A joint global spectral fit of the EPIC/MOS1, MOS2, and PN observations with Mewe-Kaastra-Liedahl plasma emission model gives a cluster temperature of 5.5 +/- 0.5 keV. The observed spectra also show high significance iron emission lines that yield a measured cluster redshift of z = 0.290 with a 2% accuracy. For a cosmological model with H_0 = 71 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, Omega_M = 0.3 and Omega_{Lambda} = 0.7 we derive a bolometric luminosity of L_x=(8.4 +/- 0.5)*10^{44}$ erg/s. This discovery of a cluster behind M31 demonstrates the utility of x-ray surveys for finding rich clusters of galaxies, even in directions of heavy optical extinction.

description: In the field equations of Einstein-Cartan theory with cosmological constant a static spherically symmetric perfect fluid with spin density satisfying the Weyssenhoff restriction is considered. This serves as a rough model of space filled with (fermionic) dark matter. From this the Einstein static universe with constant torsion is constructed, generalising the Einstein Cosmos to Einstein-Cartan theory. The interplay between torsion and the cosmological constant is discussed. A possible way out of the cosmological constant's sign problem is suggested.

Canonical Reduction of Gravity: from General Covariance to Dirac Observables and post-Minkowskian Background-Independent Gravitational Waves

description: The status of canonical reduction for metric and tetrad gravity in space-times of the Christodoulou-Klainermann type, where the ADM energy rules the time evolution, is reviewed. Since in these space-times there is an asymptotic Minkowski metric at spatial infinity, it is possible to define a Hamiltonian linearization in a completely fixed (non harmonic) 3-orthogonal gauge without introducing a background metric. Post-Minkowskian background-independent gravitational waves are obtained as solutions of the linearized Hamilton equations.

description: To deliver tailored pain science education, assessing children’s biopsychosocial pain concepts is necessary. As validated tools are lacking, a new tool is presented, the biopsychosocial pain concept matrix (BiPS matrix), which assesses children’s biological, psychological, and social pain concepts in five domains according to the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (Hagger and Orbell, 2003): (1) illness identity, (2) causes, (3) consequences, (4) duration, and (5) treatment. The present preliminary study aims to (1) assess the items’ readability and understandability in cognitive interviews with N = 9 healthy children (9 to 19 years, M = 13.78 years, SD = 3.05; 44% female) and (2) pre-test the BiPS matrix within an online survey of N = 27 healthy children (9 to 19 years, M = 13.76 years, SD = 3.03; 56% female). Results revealed difficulties in understanding some items. Children’s understanding increased with age. Age, chronic pain status, and pain in the social environment were positively associated with the BiPS total score, whereas the latter explained the most variance in pain concepts of children. Patient-focused methods such as cognitive interviews proved essential in testing the readability and understanding of items in children. Future studies are warranted to further validate the BiPS matrix.

description: In magnonics, an emerging branch of wave physics characterized by low-energy consumption, it is highly desirable to realize circuit elements within the scope of spin-wave computing. Here, based on numerical simulations, we demonstrate the functionality of the spin-wave diode and the circulator to steer and manipulate spin waves over a wide range of frequency in the GHz regime. They take advantage of the unidirectional coupling induced by the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction to transfer the spin wave between thin ferromagnetic layers in only one direction of propagation. Using the multilayered structure consisting of Py and Co in direct contact with Pt, we obtain sub-micrometer-size devices of high efficiency. In the diode, the power loss ratio between forward and reverse direction reaches 22 dB, while in the four-port circulator, the efficiency exceeds 13 dB. Thus, our work contributes to the emerging branch of energy-efficient magnonic logic devices, where, thanks to short wavelength of spin waves, it is possible to realize nanoscale devices.

description: We have imaged the circumstellar envelope around the binary protostar L1551 IRS 5 in CS (J=7-6) and 343 GHz continuum emission at ~ 3 arcsec resolution using the Submillimeter Array. The continuum emission shows an elongated structure (~ 220 x 100 AU) around the binary perpendicular to the axis of the associated radio jet. The CS emission extends over ~ 400 AU, appears approximately circularly symmetric, and shows a velocity gradient from southeast (blueshifted) to northwest (redshifted). The direction of the velocity gradient is different from that observed in C18O (J=1-0). This may be because rotation is more dominant in the CS envelope than the C18O envelope, in which both infall and rotation exist. The CS emission may be divided into two velocity components: (1) a "high" velocity disk-like structure surrounding the protostar, +-1.0 - 1.5 km s-1 from the systemic velocity, and (2) a "low" velocity structure, located southwest of the protostar, < 1.0 km s -1 from the systemic velocity. The high-velocity component traces warm and dense gas with kinematics consistent with rotation around the protostar. The low-velocity component may arise from dense gas entrained in the outflow. Alternatively, this component may trace infalling and rotating gas in an envelope with a vertical structure.

description: We analyze the dependence of galaxy evolution on cluster dynamical state and galaxy luminosities for a sample of 146 galaxy clusters from the Yang SDSS catalog. Clusters were split according to their velocity distribution in Gaussians (G) and Non-Gaussians (NG), and further divided by luminosity regime. We performed a classification in the Age-SSFR plane providing three classes: star-forming (SF), passive (PAS), and intermediate (GV -- green valley). We show that galaxies evolve in the same way in G and NG systems, but also suggest that their formation histories leads to different mixtures of galactic types and infall patterns. Separating the GV into star-forming and passive components, we find more bright galaxies in the passive mode of NG than in G systems. We also find more intermediate faint galaxies in the star-forming component of NG than in G systems. Our results suggest the GV as the stage where the transition from types Sab and Scd to S0 must be taking place, but the conversion between morphological types is independent of the dynamical stage of the clusters. Analyzing the velocity dispersion profiles, we find that objects recently infalling in clusters have a different composition between G and NG systems. While all galaxy types infall onto G systems, Sab and Scd dominate the infall onto NG systems. Finally, we find that faint Scd in the outskirts of NG systems present higher asymmetries relative to the mean asymmetry of field galaxies, suggesting environmental effects acting on these objects.

description: Epitaxial titanium diboride thin films have been deposited on sapphire substrates by Pulsed Laser Ablation technique. Structural properties of the films have been studied during the growth by Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and ex-situ by means of X-ray diffraction techniques; both kinds of measurements indicate a good crystallographic orientation of the TiB2 film both in plane and along the c axis. A flat surface has been observed by Atomic Force Microscopy imaging. Electrical resistivity at room temperature resulted to be five times higher than the value reported for single crystals. The films resulted to be also very stable at high temperature, which is very promising for using this material as a buffer layer in the growth of magnesium diboride thin films.

description: Recent measurements of the propagation of the quasar's radio signal past Jupiter are directly sensitive to the time-dependent effect from the geometric sector of general relativity which is proportional to the speed of propagation of gravity but not the speed of light. It provides a first confirmative measurement of the fundamental speed of the Einstein general principle of relativity for gravitational field.

description: Neutrinos may be pseudo-Dirac states, such that each generation is actually composed of two maximally-mixed Majorana neutrinos separated by a tiny mass difference. The usual active neutrino oscillation phenomenology would be unaltered if the pseudo-Dirac splittings are $δm^2 \alt 10^{-12}$ eV$^2$; in addition, neutrinoless double beta decay would be highly suppressed. However, it may be possible to distinguish pseudo-Dirac from Dirac neutrinos using high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. By measuring flavor ratios as a function of $L/E$, mass-squared differences down to $δm^2 \sim 10^{-18}$ eV$^2$ can be reached. We comment on the possibility of probing cosmological parameters with neutrinos.

title: Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) as Targets for Anti-Cancer Treatment
Creators: name: Lecis, Daniele
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Smac mimetics (SMs) constitute a class of compounds that target the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) and enhance the cytotoxic activity of several drugs. In our work, we built and characterized a library of about 140 SMs and focused on SM83 due to its high affinity for the targets, cytotoxic activity and good pharmacokinetic profile. In vivo, SM83 reduced in monotherapy the primary tumor growth of two triple negative breast cancer xenografts. Furthermore, SM83 treatment, alone or in combinations with TRAIL-armed CD34+cell, resulted in the reduction of spontaneous lung metastasis formation. Mechanistically, by depleting cIAP1, SM83 affects the expression of the tumor genes and inhibits the metastasis-promoting gene Snai2, thus preventing cancer cell motility. Moreover, we tested SM83 as a standalone in ascites cancer models and described an in vivo anti-tumor effect against cancer cell lines that are intrinsically resistant to SM treatment in vitro. In the in vivo settings, SM83, in fact, triggered an inflammation event of the host, characterized by macrophage secretion of TNF, IL-1β and interferon-γ (IFNγ), and rapidly killed floating tumor cells within the ascites by a non-apoptotic mechanism. Of note, SM83 treatment caused the massive accumulation of neutrophils within the ascites and tumor nodules, which, however, was not responsible for cancer cell killing. Finally, we described the capability of SM83 to enhance the cytotoxic activity of camptothecin especially in human epithelial cells expressing oncogenic KRAS. The increased sensitivity of these premalignant cells is caused by an ERK2-dependent up-regulation of NOXA. Of note, oncogenic KRAS fails to sensitize a panel of isogenic cancer cell lines with wild type and mutated KRAS, and we demonstrated that this unresponsiveness could be reverted by concomitant inhibition of AKT. Therefore, our work suggests that the activation of AKT is capable of counterbalancing the potential pro-death stimulus triggered by oncogenic KRAS.
title: Blended Learning: An Exploration of the Experiences of Lecturers and Students in Post Qualification Nurse Education
Creators: name: Gallagher, Alison Lucy
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Blended learning (BL), defined broadly as a mixture of face-to-face teaching and e-learning, is a concept that has been developed across education. Nurse education has relatively recently adopted this learning mode which has largely arisen as resources have been reduced and the purchasers of education, primarily the National Health Service, require their growing workforce to have increased access to wide professional development opportunities. This can lead to problems as BL in nurse education is largely untested. This study considered the experiences of lecturers and students regarding BL in post qualification nurse education. Understanding lecturers’ and students’ perceptions of this change is important to facilitate a smooth transition and ultimately to ensure that blended learning enhances the learning and teaching experiences. An interpretive, in-depth, qualitative approach in one nursing school setting was adopted. An initial study, with two focus groups to elicit student and lecturer experiences of blended learning in post-qualification education, informed the conduct of the main study and the interview questions. The main study involved semi-structured interviews with three lecturers and ten students, purposively selected as participants. Data were analysed thematically. The findings indicated a lack of understanding of BL. Issues raised included problems with accessing information technology. Lecturers viewed blended learning only in terms of the e-learning site and this site was only used by them as a repository for information; thus for them blended learning was not an interactive concept. In contrast students wanted the interaction creating potential discord between students and lecturers. The reduced sense of community and student isolation were concepts that were also raised by several participants. The study developed a more precise definition of BL and a useful conceptual framework which was informed by the Conversational Framework of Laurillard (2002) and the Community of Inquiry Framework of Garrison and Anderson (2003).
