description: We show that according to the present understanding of the energy evolution of the observables measured in deep-inelastic scattering, the photon-proton scattering amplitude has to exhibit geometric scaling at each impact parameter. We suggest a way to test it experimentally at HERA. A qualitative analysis based on published data is presented and discussed.

description: By comparing the properties of Red Supergiant (RSG) supernova progenitors to those of field RSGs, it has been claimed that there is an absence of progenitors with luminosities $L$ above $\log(L/L_\odot) > 5.2$. This is in tension with the empirical upper luminosity limit of RSGs at $\log(L/L_\odot) = 5.5$, a result known as the `Red Supergiant Problem'. This has been interpreted as evidence for an upper mass threshold for the formation of black-holes. In this paper, we compare the observed luminosities of RSG SN progenitors with the observed RSG $L$-distribution in the Magellanic Clouds. Our results indicate that the absence of bright SN II-P/L progenitors in the current sample can be explained at least in part by the steepness of the $L$-distribution and a small sample size, and that the statistical significance of the Red Supergiant Problem is between 1-2$σ$ . Secondly, we model the luminosity distribution of II-P/L progenitors as a simple power-law with an upper and lower cutoff, and find an upper luminosity limit of $\log(L_{\rm hi}/L_\odot) = 5.20^{+0.17}_{-0.11}$ (68\% confidence), though this increases to $\sim$5.3 if one fixes the power-law slope to be that expected from theoretical arguments. Again, the results point to the significance of the RSG Problem being within $\sim 2 σ$. Under the assumption that all progenitors are the result of single-star evolution, this corresponds to an upper mass limit for the parent distribution of $M_{\rm hi} = 19.2{\rm M_\odot}$, $\pm1.3 {\rm M_\odot (systematic)}$, $^{+4.5}_{-2.3} {\rm M_\odot}$ (random) (68\% confidence limits).

description: Optical and infrared monitoring of the afterglow site of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 031203 has revealed a brightening source embedded in the host galaxy, which we attribute to the presence of a supernova (SN) related to the GRB ("SN 031203"). We present details of the discovery and evolution of SN 031203 from 0.2 to 92 days after the GRB, derived from SMARTS consortium photometry in I and J bands. A template type Ic lightcurve, constructed from SN 1998bw photometry, is consistent with the peak brightness of SN 031203 although the lightcurves are not identical. Differential astrometry reveals that the SN, and hence the GRB, occurred less than 300 h_71^-1 pc (3-sigma) from the apparent galaxy center. The peak of the supernova is brighter than the optical afterglow suggesting that this source is intermediate between a strong GRB and a supernova.

Year: 2020

description: In 1763, Marie-Josephte Corriveau was found guilty of the murder of her husband, in New France. She was sentenced to death by hanging followed by the gibbeting of her body. The event sparked the popular imagination and became the foundation of a ghost story that spanned centuries and persists to this day in Québec folklore. Through the proposal of a shrine to the memory of Marie-Josephte Corriveau, this project investigates how the historical narrative can foster a critical and locally driven design.

description: This paper investigates whether aspirations matter for education, which offers a common route out of poverty. We find that mother aspirations are strongly related to the child’s grade achieved at age 18. The relation is nonlinear, suggesting there is a threshold, and depends on caste, household income and the village setting. The coefficients remain large and significant when applying control function estimation, using first born son as instrument. A similar strong relation is observed with learning outcomes, including local language, English and maths test results, and with attending school, but not with attending private education. These results are confirmed for outcomes at age 15. The findings provide direct evidence on the contribution of mother aspirations to children’s education outcomes and point to aspirations as a channel of intergenerational mobility. They suggest that education outcomes can be improved more rapidly by taking aspirations into account when targeting education programmes, and through interventions that shape aspirations.

description: Heat, cooling, and ventilation units are major energy consumers for commercial buildings, they can consume as much as 50% of the total annual power usage of a building. Coherent management of an air handling system’s energy is a key factor of reducing the energy costs and CO2 emissions that are associated with the demand for ventilating and conditioning the air in a building. The issue is that buildings are frequently over ventilated as a full assessment of the air handling unit (AHU) data is not evaluated by building operators. According to ASHRAE standards there are three key parameters that control indoor air quality (IAQ); these are the temperature, humidity, and CO2. Commonly occupancy setpoints implemented by building operators are focused on temperature and humidity control while neglecting the CO2 levels and their impact. While this may seem insignificant additional data proves to be important and can assist with energy management. Additionally, it can develop awareness of implementable procedures which conserve energy. Furthermore, data is not monitored in regard to the continuous assessment of the energy consumption with respect to analysis of opportunities to implement energy saving control strategies. By using these standards as a guide an AHUs energy can be managed more effectively by measuring the data and assessing the outputs compared to the standard. Previous research has shown that up to 75% savings for the ventilation fan energy is achievable when taking into account ASHRAE ventilation standards and controlling outside air ventilation, however, this research has omitted investigating the savings for other energy consumers associated with AHU’s operation. In order to assess the demand, it is required that the CO2 levels of the occupied zones be measured, and the outdoor air ventilation rate be adjusted based on real-time demand. The goal of the research is to assess the number of CO¬2 sensors needed to accurately measure demand-based needs for ventilation and determine an algorithm that will help building operators assess the energy savings by implementing demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) procedures. The scope of this research is to identify what sensors at minimum are required to collect the most pertinent data for implementation of a comprehensive energy saving algorithms and assess the impact on energy consumption of AHUs when demand-controlled ventilation procedures are implemented.

description: There is a severe tension between the observed star formation rate (SFR) - stellar mass (${\rm M}_{\star}$) relations reported by different authors at $z = 1-4$. In addition, the observations have not been successfully reproduced by state-of-the-art cosmological simulations which tend to predict a factor of 2-4 smaller SFRs at a fixed ${\rm M}_{\star}$. We examine the evolution of the SFR$-{\rm M}_{\star}$ relation of $z = 1-4 $ galaxies using the SKIRT simulated spectral energy distributions of galaxies sampled from the EAGLE simulations. We derive SFRs and stellar masses by mimicking different observational techniques. We find that the tension between observed and simulated SFR$-{\rm M}_{\star}$ relations is largely alleviated if similar methods are used to infer the galaxy properties. We find that relations relying on infrared wavelengths (e.g. 24 ${\rm μm}$, MIPS - 24, 70 and 160 ${\rm μm}$ or SPIRE - 250, 350, 500 ${\rm μm}$) have SFRs that exceed the intrinsic relation by 0.5 dex. Relations that rely on the spectral energy distribution fitting technique underpredict the SFRs at a fixed stellar mass by -0.5 dex at $z \sim 4$ but overpredict the measurements by 0.3 dex at $z \sim 1$. Relations relying on dust-corrected rest-frame UV luminosities, are flatter since they overpredict/underpredict SFRs for low/high star forming objects and yield deviations from the intrinsic relation from 0.10 dex to -0.13 dex at $z \sim 4$. We suggest that the severe tension between different observational studies can be broadly explained by the fact that different groups employ different techniques to infer their SFRs.

description: We have experimentally demonstrated the absence of spectroscopic resonance shifts in a mixture of two interacting Fermi gases. This result is linked to observations in an ultracold gas of thermal bosons. There, the measured resonance shift due to interstate collisions is independent of the coherence in the system, and twice that expected from the equilibrium energy splitting between the two states in a fully decohered cloud. We give a simple theoretical explanation of these observations, which elucidates the effect of coherent radiation on an incoherent mixture of atoms.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectrics provide an unprecedented architectural freedom for the creation of artificial multiferroics and non-volatile electronic devices based on vertical and co-planar heterojunctions of 2D ferroic materials. Nevertheless, controlled microscopic manipulation of ferroelectric domains is still rare in monolayer-thick 2D ferroelectrics with in-plane polarization. Here we report the discovery of robust ferroelectricity with a critical temperature close to 400 K in SnSe monolayer plates grown on graphene, and the demonstration of controlled room temperature ferroelectric domain manipulation by applying appropriate bias voltage pulses to the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). This study shows that STM is a powerful tool for detecting and manipulating the microscopic domain structures in 2D ferroelectric monolayers, which is difficult for conventional approaches such as piezoresponse force microscopy, thus facilitating the hunt for other 2D ferroelectric monolayers with in-plane polarization with important technological applications.

description: The Drude model describes the free-electron conduction in simple metals, governed by the freedom that the mobile electrons have within the material. In strongly correlated systems, however, a significant deviation of the optical conductivity from the simple metallic Drude behavior is observed. Here, we investigate the optical conductivity of the heavy-fermion system CeCu$_{\mathrm{6-x}}$Au$_{\mathrm{x}}$, using time-resolved, phase-sensitive terahertz spectroscopy. Terahertz electric field creates two types of excitations in heavy-fermion materials: First, the intraband excitations that leave the heavy quasiparticles intact. Second, the resonant interband transitions between the heavy and light parts of the hybridized conduction band that break the Kondo singlet. We find that the Kondo-singlet breaking interband transitions do not create a Drude peak, while the Kondo-retaining intraband excitations yield the expected Drude response; thus, making it possible to separate these two fundamentally different correlated contributions to the optical conductivity.

Single crystal X-ray Rietveld refinements at room temperature reveal a fully ordered distribution of Y, Co and Si atoms within the tetragonal space group I4/mcm isostructural with LaCo9Si4. The latter exhibits itinerant electron metamagnetism with an induced moment of about 1 mu_B/f.u. above 6 T, whereas YCo9Si4 exhibits a spontaneous magnetisation M0~12 Am^2/kg at 2 K which corresponds to an ordered moment of about 1.6 mu_B/f.u. indicating weak itinerant ferromagnetism.

description: A new evolution algorithm for the characteristic initial value problem based upon an affine parameter rather than the areal radial coordinate used in the Bondi-Sachs formulation is applied in the spherically symmetric case to the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field. The advantages over the Bondi-Sachs version are discussed, with particular emphasis on the application to critical collapse. Unexpected quadratures lead to a simple evolution algorithm based upon ordinary differential equations which can be integrated along the null rays. For collapse to a black hole in a Penrose compactified spacetime, these equations are regularized throughout the exterior and interior of the horizon up to the final singularity. They are implemented as a global numerical evolution code based upon the Galerkin method. New results regarding the global properties of critical collapse are presented.

description: We analyse the temporal evolution of the inclination component of the magnetic field vector for the penumbral area of 25 isolated sunspots. Compared to previous works, the use of data from the HMI instrument aboard the SDO observatory facilitates the study of very long time series ($\approx$1 week), compared to previous works, with a good spatial and temporal resolution. We used the wavelet technique and we found some filamentary-shaped events with large wavelet power. Their distribution of periods is broad, ranging from the lower limit for this study of 48 minutes up to 63 hours. An interesting property of these events is that they do not appear homogeneously all around the penumbra but they seem to concentrate at particular locations. The cross-comparison of these wavelet maps with AIA data shows that the regions where these events appear are visually related to the coronal loops that connect the outer penumbra to one or more neighbouring opposite polarity flux patches.
Studying Measurement Invariance and Differential Validity of the Short UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale across Racial Groups

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Previous research has identified impulsive personality traits as significant risk factors for a wide range of risk-taking behavior, substance use, and clinical problems. Most work has been conducted in primarily White samples, leaving it unclear whether these patterns generalize to racial and ethnic minorities, who have higher rates of negative consequences of substance use behavior. The most widely used assessment of impulsive traits is the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior scale, which has strong psychometric properties across demographic subgroups, such as gender and age; however, data supporting its use in racial and ethnic minorities is less well-developed. The aims of this study are to 1) examine the measurement invariance of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale-Short Form (Cyders et al., 2014) across racial minority groups and 2) determine if impulsive personality traits differentially relate to substance use outcomes across racial groups. Participants were 1301 young adults (ages 18-35, fluent in English), recruited through an online survey for both college students at a large public university and Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing online platform. Measurement invariance was assessed using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Differential validity was assessed using a structural equation modeling framework. I established model fit for each racial group (White group: RMSEA= .067, CFI= .94; Black group: RMSEA= .071, 90% CFI= .952; Asian American group: RMSEA= .073, CFI= .94; Hispanic group: RMSEA=.081, CFI=.934). Based on change in CFI/RMSEA indices, I concluded strong measurement invariance of the Short UPPS-P as a valid scale of impulsive behavior across racial groups. In the White group, findings indicated significant relationships between multiple SUPPS-P traits and alcohol and substance use. In the Asian American group, positive relationships were found between sensation and alcohol use (p=.015) and negative urgency and drug use (p=.020). I found that there were no differences in the relationships between the Short UPPS-P traits and substance use outcomes across White and the racial and ethnic groups studied (p’s>.06).

title: The Mechanistic Role of Long Non-coding RNAs in Advanced Prostate Cancer Response to Therapy
Creators: name: Pucci, Perla
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies and the fifth leading cause of cancer related deaths in males, worldwide. It is commonly treated using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), but around 25% develop ADT resistance and are called Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancers (CRPCs). Therapies currently used for CRPC treatment include: the new generation anti-androgen enzalutamide, the taxane cabazitaxel and carboplatin. Despite the prolonged survival resulting from these treatments, CRPC is still incurable. Recent evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) promote drug resistance. The lncRNA HORAS5 (i.e. linc00161) regulates drug response in different cancers and is upregulated in CRPC versus hormone-sensitive patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), thereby stimulating pro-survival mechanisms. This project has investigated whether HORAS5 has a role in CRPC response to therapy. CRPC cells have been treated with different concentrations of cabazitaxel, carboplatin and enzalutamide. Cabazitaxel exposure increases HORAS5 expression, in androgen receptor-positive (AR+) and -negative (AR–) prostate cancer cells and HORAS5 overexpression decreases cabazitaxel sensitivity and cell apoptosis. HORAS5 RNA interference (RNAi) increases cabazitaxel sensitivity and cell apoptosis. Next-generation RNA sequencing and real time qPCR have shown that the anti-apoptotic factor BCL2A1 is significantly upregulated upon HORAS5 overexpression in AR- prostate cancer cells exposed to cabazitaxel. BCL2A1 silencing decreases cell count and increases apoptosis of prostate cancer cells exposed to cabazitaxel. HORAS5 and BCL2A1 upregulation is associated with decreased survival in prostate cancer patients and HORAS5 is upregulated in clinical samples from prostate cancer patients exposed to taxanes. Transfection of CRPC cells with HORAS5-targeting antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) efficiently reduces HORAS5 expression, thereby decreasing cabazitaxel IC50 when tested in combination with this drug. Overall, this project shows that HORAS5 stimulates BCL2A1 expression in prostate cancer cells, thereby reducing caspase-mediated apoptosis. This leads to increased cabazitaxel resistance. The clinical relevance of HORAS5 expression and the effect of HORAS5-targeting ASOs shown in this thesis highlight the translational potential of HORAS5 modulation. This work sheds light on the relevance of lncRNAs in cancer drug resistance and proposes the use of HORAS5 as a future therapeutic target to increase therapy efficacy in CRPC.

description: We empirically analyse the effect of UN and US economic sanctions on life expectancy and its gender gap in target countries. Our sample covers 98 less developed and newly industrialised countries over the period 1977–2012. We employ a matching approach to account for the endogeneity of sanctions. Our results indicate that an average episode of UN sanctions reduces life expectancy by about 1.2–1.4 years. The corresponding decrease of 0.4–0.5 years under US sanctions is significantly smaller. In addition, we find evidence that women are affected more severely by the imposition of sanctions. Sanctions not being ‘gender-blind’ indicates that they disproportionately affect (the life expectancy of) the more vulnerable members of society. We also detect effect heterogeneity, as the reduction in life expectancy accumulates over time and countries with a better political environment are less severely affected by economic sanctions. Finally, we provide some evidence that an increase in child mortality and Cholera deaths as well as a decrease in public spending on health care are transmission channels through which UN sanctions adversely affect life expectancy in the targeted countries.

We estimate a power-law index $γ$ of the equation of state, a temperature at the mean density $T_0$ and a hydrogen photoionization rate $Γ$ within 4 redshift bins. Furthermore, in each bin we obtain an upper limit on the scale-parameter $f_{\rm J}$, which sets the relation between the Jeans length and the characteristic physical size of the absorber clouds.

description: We study the effect of homodyne detector visibility on the measurement of quadrature squeezing for a spatially multi-mode source of two-mode squeezed light. Sources like optical parametric oscillators (OPO) typically produce squeezing in a single spatial mode because the nonlinear medium is within a mode-selective optical cavity. For such a source, imperfect interference visibility in the homodyne detector couples in additional vacuum noise, which can be accounted for by introducing an equivalent loss term. In a free-space multi-spatial-mode system imperfect homodyne detector visibility can couple in uncorrelated squeezed modes, and hence can cause faster degradation of the measured squeezing. We show experimentally the dependence of the measured squeezing level on the visibility of homodyne detectors used to probe two-mode squeezed states produced by a free space four-wave mixing process in 85Rb vapor, and also demonstrate that a simple theoretical model agrees closely with the experimental data.

description: Since the fifties, isospin relations have been used in particle physics to understand the properties of multihadrons final states. In the case of the tau lepton, they allow to relate the partial widths of the decay modes to the cross sections of e+e- annihilations. A pedagogical introduction to the construction of isospin states for meson systems and an updated review of the use of isospin relations in the study of the tau lepton are presented.

description: An autonomous car is a self-driving vehicle, that operates without human intervention and has the capability of sensing the environment around it. To achieve this, the autonomous vehicle mostly depends on multiple Sensors, Actuators, Machine learning, complex algorithms and processors for software execution. Developed Software, at that point, processes all the information obtained from sensors, plans the path, and the instructions are passed to the vehicle’s actuators, which are capable of controlling acceleration, steering, and brake systems. The rules that are hard-coded, algorithms for detection of object and obstacle avoidance, and predictive modelling control algorithms assist the software with observing traffic guidelines and navigate the vehicle accordingly. Free driving is anything but a simple assignment, and to make independent driving game plans is an extraordinarily critical capacity in the current programming planning field. Engineers and Researchers have been keeping huge endeavors to develop safe and precise algorithms to be incorporated in autonomous vehicles. ROS is a flexible and perfect middle ware tool for robotic applications. ROS offers the necessary tools to effortlessly get the sensors information, process that information, and produce a suitable response to actuators of the vehicle. This thesis work plans to exhibit how ROS could be utilized as a middle- ware tool to make the vehicle move autonomously by examining the surroundings and taking decision. The main focus of this thesis is to develop a one-tenth scale of an autonomous Racecar equipped with Jetson Nano as the on-board computer, ROS based software architecture, sensors, and a PWM driver and implement ADAS features such as Emergency Brake system, Lane Detection and Lane change on the autonomous Race car vehicle. At last, by following the strategies introduced in this thesis work, it is possible to build and develop an autonomousvehicle that uses ROS framework.

Elementary electronic excitation from a two-dimensional hole gas in the presence of spin-orbit interaction

description: We present a theoretical study of the elementary electronic excitation associated with plasmon modes in a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in the presence of spin-orbit (SO) interaction induced by the Rashba effect. The calculation is carried out using a standard random-phase-approximation approach. It is found that in such a spintronic system, plasmon excitation can be achieved via intra- and inter-SO electronic transitions around the Fermi level. As a result, the intra- and inter-SO plasmon modes can be observed. More importantly, the plasmon modes induced by inter-SO transition are optic-like and these modes can be directly applied to identify the Rashba spin splitting in 2DHG systems through optical measurements. The interesting features of the plasmon excitation in a spin split 2DHG are analyzed and discussed in details. Moreover, the results obtained for a 2DHG are compared with those obtained for a spin-splitting 2DEG reported very recently.

description: Entity matching seeks to identify data records over one or multiple data sources that refer to the same real-world entity. Virtually every entity matching task on large datasets requires blocking, a step that reduces the number of record pairs to be matched. However, most of the traditional blocking methods are learning-free and key-based, and their successes are largely built on laborious human effort in cleaning data and designing blocking keys. In this paper, we propose AutoBlock, a novel hands-off blocking framework for entity matching, based on similarity-preserving representation learning and nearest neighbor search. Our contributions include: (a) Automation: AutoBlock frees users from laborious data cleaning and blocking key tuning. (b) Scalability: AutoBlock has a sub-quadratic total time complexity and can be easily deployed for millions of records. (c) Effectiveness: AutoBlock outperforms a wide range of competitive baselines on multiple large-scale, real-world datasets, especially when datasets are dirty and/or unstructured.

The role of positive urgency in alcohol-related risk-taking: An experimental investigation

Subjects: positive urgency

description: The relationship between positive urgency, a personality trait reflecting rash action during extreme positive emotional states, and risk-taking has previously been experimentally examined. However, how positive urgency is related to risk-taking while under the acute influence of alcohol has not been examined. The overarching goal of this dissertation was to generate behavioral evidence concerning how the interaction between positive urgency and alcohol consumption influences risk-taking via changes in emotional arousal. In this study, 59 community dwelling adults (mean age = 29.45 (SD = 10.96), 32.2% women, 78% White) completed mood induction procedures (positive or neutral) while consuming a beverage (alcohol or placebo) and then completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) as a measure of risk-taking. The positive mood induction was effective in inducing high arousal positive emotions. Overall, study hypotheses were not supported; however, because of low power, effect sizes and patterns of relationship are reported. The relationship between positive urgency and risk-taking was positive and small in the positive mood condition but negative and small in the neutral mood condition. The alcohol group and the placebo group showed similar patterns of risk-taking that are positive and small. Finally, the relationship between positive urgency changes in emotional arousal was positive and small only in the positive/alcohol condition; however, there was no relationship between changes in emotional arousal and risk-taking. These findings suggest that, while changes in emotional arousal may result from a combination of positive urgency and alcohol consumption, it may not be a focal mechanism that explains the relationship between positive urgency and risk-taking. Further, positive urgency is a risk factor whether or not alcohol consumption is present. Although the small sample size limited the power to test the hypotheses, the effect size estimates obtained in this study provide preliminary data for a more properly powered future study. The pattern of findings suggests the viability of further developing the current positive mood induction to establish a lab-based paradigm for positive urgency and the use of a different experimental risk-taking task to examine positive emotion-based risk-taking.

description: We compute the order $α_s^2$ quark initiated corrections to semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering extending the approach developed recently for the gluon contributions. With these corrections we complete the order $α_s^2$ QCD description of these processes, verifying explicitly the factorization of collinear singularities. We also obtain the corresponding NLO evolution kernels, relevant for the scale dependence of fracture functions. We compare the non-homogeneous evolution effects driven by these kernels with those obtained at leading order accuracy and discuss their phenomenological implications.

Spatiotemporal Behavior of Void Collapse in Shocked Solids

description: Molecular dynamics simulations on a three dimensional defective Lennard-Jones solid containing a void are performed in order to investigate detailed properties of hot spot generation. In addition to the temperature, I monitor the number of energetically colliding particles per unit volume which characterizes the intensity of shock-enhanced chemistry. The quantity is found to saturate for nanoscale voids and to be maximized after voids have completely collapsed. It makes an apparent comparison to the temperature which requires much larger void for the enhancement and becomes maximum during the early stage of the collapse. It is also found that the average velocity and the temperature of ejected molecules inside a cubic void are enhanced during the collapse because of the focusing of momentum and energy towards the center line of a void.
