description: A search is performed for narrow resonances decaying into $WW$, $WZ$, or $ZZ$ boson pairs using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Diboson resonances with masses in the range from 1.3 to 3.0 TeV are sought after using the invariant mass distribution of dijets where both jets are tagged as a boson jet, compatible with a highly boosted $W$ or $Z$ boson decaying to quarks, using jet mass and substructure properties. The largest deviation from a smoothly falling background in the observed dijet invariant mass distribution occurs around 2 TeV in the $WZ$ channel, with a global significance of 2.5 standard deviations. Exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section times branching ratio for the $WZ$ final state of a new heavy gauge boson, $W'$, and for the $WW$ and $ZZ$ final states of Kaluza--Klein excitations of the graviton in a bulk Randall--Sundrum model, as a function of the resonance mass. $W'$ bosons with couplings predicted by the extended gauge model in the mass range from 1.3 to 1.5 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level.

description: The influence of defect dipoles on the electrocaloric effect (ECE) in acceptor doped BaTiO$_3$ is studied by means of lattice-based Monte-Carlo simulations. A Ginzburg-Landau type effective Hamiltonian is used. Oxygen vacancy-acceptor associates are described by fixed defect dipoles with orientation parallel or anti-parallel to the external field. By a combination of canonical and microcanoncial simulations the ECE is directly evaluated. Our results show that in the case of anti-parallel defect dipoles the ECE can be positive or negative depending on the density of defect dipoles. Moreover, a transition from a negative to positive ECE can be observed from a certain density of anti-parallel dipoles on when the external field increases. These transitions are due to the delicate interplay of internal and external fields, and are explained by the domain structure evolution and related field-induced entropy changes. The results are compared to those obtained by MD simulations employing an {\it{ab initio}} based effective Hamiltonian, and a good qualitative agreement is found. In addition, a novel electrocaloric cycle, which makes use of the negative ECE and defect dipoles, is proposed to enhance the cooling effect.

description: We have proposed a model for relativistic compact star with anisotropy and analytically obtained exact spherically symmetric solutions describing the interior of the dense star admitting non-static conformal symmetry. Several features of the solutions including drawbacks of the model have been explored and discussed. For this purpose we have provided the energy conditions, TOV-equations and other physical requirements and thus thoroughly investigated stability, mass-radius relation and surface redshift of the model. It is observed that most of the features are well matched with the compact stars, like quark/strange stars.

description: Traditional control-flow analysis (CFA) for higher-order languages, whether implemented by constraint-solving or abstract interpretation, introduces spurious connections between callers and callees. Two distinct invocations of a function will necessarily pollute one another's return-flow. Recently, three distinct approaches have been published which provide perfect call-stack precision in a computable manner: CFA2, PDCFA, and AAC. Unfortunately, CFA2 and PDCFA are difficult to implement and require significant engineering effort. Furthermore, all three are computationally expensive; for a monovariant analysis, CFA2 is in $O(2^n)$, PDCFA is in $O(n^6)$, and AAC is in $O(n^9 log n)$. In this paper, we describe a new technique that builds on these but is both straightforward to implement and computationally inexpensive. The crucial insight is an unusual state-dependent allocation strategy for the addresses of continuation. Our technique imposes only a constant-factor overhead on the underlying analysis and, with monovariance, costs only O(n3) in the worst case. This paper presents the intuitions behind this development, a proof of the precision of this analysis, and benchmarks demonstrating its efficacy.

Characterizing Early Development and NREM Sleep in Infants and Toddlers and Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Creators: name: Page, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Early childhood is characterized by rapid development and pronounced changes in early brain function and learning. Both are thought to be fostered by non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. NREM sleep is characterized by the presence of slow wave activity (SWA) and sleep spindles (10-16 Hz). Both slow waves and sleep spindles exhibit pronounced developmental trajectories and are related to intelligence and general learning traits in school aged children, adults and may be altered in several neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, these features are poorly understood in typically developing (TD) infants/toddlers and those at-risk for ASD. Moreover, it is unclear how these features are associated with outcomes of early development in TD infants/toddlers and those at-risk for ASD. This study aimed to address the following: (1) identify features of NREM sleep in 12-30-month-olds; (2) identify patterns of NREM sleep that are associated with infant/toddler development; (3) identify NREM features differentiating TD and ASD; and (4) examine NREM patterns associated with development in ASD. Using data from the Early Development and Sleep study, data collected during the home visit (measures administered: ADOS-2, MSEL, and VABS) was correlated with high density electroencephalography (hdEEG) nap recordings. The findings illustrated age related changes in delta (.5-2 Hz), theta (4-7 Hz), sleep spindles (10-16 Hz), and beta (20-25 Hz) oscillations in the 12-30-month age span. These frequencies correlated with domain and composite scores on the MSEL and VABS. NREM findings at both the group and individual level, showed significant differences between infants/toddlers with ASD and TD. These differences were decreased theta (4-7 Hz), decreased spindles (10-16 Hz), and excessive beta (20-25 Hz) in infants/toddlers with ASD. These features were negatively correlated with performance on the MSEL and VABS and highly associated with ASD symptom severity. These findings suggest an important role of NREM sleep and the associated development of cognitive behavioral skillsets during this important developmental period. These findings provide support for the role of NREM sleep as a potential risk marker for ASD.  Yet, more research is needed to further understand the application of a risk marker for research and clinical practice.

description: Industrial poultry production in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in North Carolina has grown rapidly, with North Carolina now ranked nationally as a top poultry producer. The Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin harbors the highest density of poultry production among North Carolina river basins. This study examined the effect of poultry CAFOs on water quality in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin by comparing watersheds with CAFOs (n=5) to those without CAFOs (n=4). In partnership with Yadkin Riverkeeper, we collected surface water samples during both dry weather and wet weather events, for a total of 36 samples analyzed. Each sample was evaluated for Escherichia coli concentrations and antibiotic resistance profiles. Few E. coli isolates were antibiotic resistant. A multiple linear regression indicated presence of poultry CAFOs resulted in higher E. coli concentrations compared to background sites and that every 1-mm increase in precipitation resulted in higher E. coli concentrations.

description: With growing popularity of mobile Internet, providing secure wireless services has become a critical issue. Physical layer security (PHY-security) has been recognized as an effective means to enhance wireless security by exploiting wireless medium characteristics, e.g., fading, noise, and interference. A particularly interesting PHY-security technology is cooperative relay due to the fact that it helps to provide distributed diversity and shorten access distance. This article offers a tutorial on various multi-antenna relaying technologies to improve security at physical layer. The state of the art research results on multi-antenna relay aided PHY-security as well as some secrecy performance optimization schemes are presented. In particular, we focus on large-scale MIMO (LS-MIMO) relaying technology, which is effective to tackle various challenging issues for implementing wireless PHY-security, such as short-distance interception without eavesdropper channel state information (CSI) and with imperfect legitimate CSI. Moreover, the future directions are identified for further enhancement of secrecy performance.

Inorganic Arsenic as an Endocrine Disruptor: Modulation of the Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway and Implications on Placental Physiology
Creators: name: Meakin, Cassandra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) has been associated with adverse developmental and reproductive outcomes, and may be tied to altered glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the placenta. In this study, we investigated whether iAs exposure modulates GR signaling in placental cells. Trophoblast JEG-3 cells were exposed to environmentally-relevant doses of iAs and mRNA expression and DNA methylation were quantified. Results demonstrated that iAs exposure alters the expression of 12 GR-genes that play a role in fetal and placental development. Furthermore, supporting a role for the epigenome in control of this expression, the mRNA alterations were associated with changes in DNA methylation patterning in placental cells. The identified target genes have been implicated in associations with prenatal arsenic exposure, placental physiology, and fetal development. This study provides evidence of iAs as an endocrine disruptor and insight into the mechanisms by which prenatal iAs exposure induces adverse birth outcomes.

description: I first review the status of Digital Sky Surveys. The focus will be on extragalactic surveys with an area of more than 100 sq.deg. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is the archetype of such imaging surveys and it is its great success that has prompted great activity in this field. The latest surveys explore wider, fainter and higher resolution and also a longer wavelength range than SDSS. Many of these surveys overlap particularly in the S Hemisphere where we now have Pan-STARRS, DES and the ESO VST surveys, and our aim here is to compare their properties. Since there is no dedicated article on the VST ATLAS in this symposium, we shall especially review the properties of this particular survey. This easily fits onto our other main focus which is to compare overlapping Southern Surveys and see how they best fit with the available NIR imaging data. We conclude that the Southern Hemisphere will soon overtake the North in terms of multiwavelength imaging. However we note that the South has more limited opportunities for spectroscopic follow-up and this weakness will persist during the LSST era. Some new perspectives are offered on this and other aspects of survey astronomy.

description: The fundamental properties of valleys are recently attracting growing attention due to electrons in new and topical materials possessing this degree-of-freedom and recent proposals for val-leytronics devices. In silicon MOSFETs, the interest has a longer history since the valley degree of freedom had been identified as a key parameter in the observation of the controversial "metallic behaviour" in two dimensions. However, while it has been recently demonstrated that lifting valley degeneracy can destroy the metallic behaviour, little is known about the role of intervalley scattering. Here, we show that the metallic behaviour can be observed in the presence of strong interval-ley scattering in silicon on insulator (SOI) quantum wells. Analysis of the conductivity in terms of quantum corrections reveals that interactions are much stronger in SOI than in conventional MOSFETs, leading to the metallic behaviour despite the strong intervalley scattering. The prospect of manipulating the valley degree of freedom in materials like AlAs, 1 silicon 2--4 graphene,

description: This research study entitled Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in English Language Teaching and Learning (ELTAL): A Multiple Case Study of the Institutional Schools in Nepal is an attempt to explore the integration of ICTs in ELTAL activities in the context of secondary school education in Nepal. The main objective was to analyze the teachers’ and students’ use of ICTs in their teaching and learning of English language skills (ELS); and in accessing information and collaborative learning in their ELTAL. The study also attempted to explore the opportunities and challenges that occur in their integration of ICTs in ELTAL. This study adopted constructivism as the research paradigm, qualitative design, and multiple case study strategy. Triangulation of data and methods was adopted incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collected using observation, interview, FGD, questionnaire, and document review research methods. Inductive thematic analysis, and descriptive statistics were used for analyzing the information and data. Likewise, within-case analysis, cross-case analysis, and pattern-matching were adopted as analytic techniques to draw conclusions. The conclusion of the study was that ICTs supported the teachers and students in ELS teaching and learning, accessing learning resources, and carrying out collaborative activities in their ELTAL. ICTs were used by the teachers to make themselves updated, and to prepare and present their lesson. Likewise, ICT tools were useful for the students to increase the amount of exposure to English, to access learning resources, and to make their information sharing easier and faster while conducting even the distributed collaborative activities. However, they were not confident about using ELS-specific websites, the students’ access to information was more teacher dominant, and the collaborative activities focused the students’ communicative skills rather than their higher order thinking skills. The teachers were not satisfied with the advantages of ICTs they could take, and none of the students found ICTs ' extremely useful' so as to use them 'always' in their ELTAL activities due to the main challenging factors‒ poor ICT infrastructure, and inadequate technological-pedagogical knowledge. This study has been expected to contribute in developing some insights of the stakeholders in their integration of ICTs in ELTAL.

description: The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) regulates airway surface hydration. In mouse airways, ENaC is composed of three subunits, α, β, and γ, which are differentially expressed (α > β > γ). Airway-targeted overexpression of the β subunit results in Na+ hyperabsorption, causing airway surface dehydration, hyperconcentrated mucus with delayed clearance, lung inflammation, and perinatal mortality. Notably, mice overexpressing the α- or γ-subunit do not exhibit airway Na+ hyperabsorption or lung pathology. To test whether overexpression of multiple ENaC subunits produced Na+ transport and disease severity exceeding that of βENaC-Tg mice, we generated double (αβ, αγ, βγ) and triple (αβγ) transgenic mice and characterized their lung phenotypes. Double αγENaC-Tg mice were indistinguishable from WT littermates. In contrast, double βγENaC-Tg mice exhibited airway Na+ absorption greater than that of βENaC-Tg mice, which was paralleled by worse survival, decreased mucociliary clearance, and more severe lung pathology. Double αβENaC-Tg mice exhibited Na+ transport rates comparable to those of βENaC-Tg littermates. However, αβENaC-Tg mice had poorer survival and developed severe parenchymal consolidation. In situ hybridization (RNAscope) analysis revealed both alveolar and airway αENaC-Tg overexpression. Triple αβγENaC-Tg mice were born in Mendelian proportions but died within the first day of life, and the small sample size prevented analyses of cause(s) of death. Cumulatively, these results indicate that overexpression of βENaC is rate limiting for generation of pathological airway surface dehydration. Notably, airway co-overexpression of β- and γENaC had additive effects on Na+ transport and disease severity, suggesting dose dependency of these two variables.

It is also proved that for odd $n\ge 665$ every nontrivial normal subgroup in a given $n$-periodic product $G=\prod_{i\in I}^nG_i$ contains the subgroup $G^n$. It follows that almost all $n$-periodic products $G=G_1\overset{n}{\ast}G_2$ are Hopfian, i.e., they are not isomorphic to any of their proper quotient groups. This allows one to construct nonsimple and not residually finite Hopfian groups of bounded exponents.

description: Understanding how expression of airway secretory mucins MUC5B and MUC5AC is regulated in health and disease is important to elucidating the pathogenesis of mucoobstructive respiratory diseases. The transcription factor SPDEF (sterile a-motif pointed domain epithelial specific transcription factor) is a key regulator of MUC5AC, but its role in regulating MUC5B in health and in mucoobstructive lung diseases is unknown. Characterization of Spdef-deficient mice upper and lower airways demonstrated region-specific, Spdef-dependent regulation of basal Muc5b expression. Neonatal Spdef-deficient mice exhibited reductions in BAL Muc5ac and Muc5b. Adult Spdef-deficient mice partially phenocopied Muc5b-deficient mice as they exhibited reduced Muc5b in nasopharyngeal and airway epithelia but not in olfactory Bowman glands, 75% incidence of nasopharyngeal hair/mucus plugs, and mild bacterial otitis media, without defective mucociliary clearance in the nasopharynx. In contrast, tracheal mucociliary clearance was reduced in Spdef-deficient mice in the absence of lung disease. To evaluate the role of Spdef in the development and persistence of Muc5b-predominant mucoobstructive lung disease, Spdef-deficient mice were crossed with Scnn1b-transgenic (Scnn1b-Tg) mice, which exhibit airway surface dehydration-induced airway mucus obstruction and inflammation. Spdef-deficient Scnn1b-Tg mice exhibited reduced Muc5ac, but not Muc5b, expression and BAL content. Airway mucus obstruction was not decreased in Spdef-deficient Scnn1b-Tg mice, consistent with Muc5b-dominant Scnn1b disease, but increased airway neutrophilia was observed compared with Spdef-sufficient Scnn1b-Tg mice. Collectively, these results indicate that Spdef regulates baseline Muc5b expression in respiratory epithelia but does not contribute to Muc5b regulation in a mouse model of Muc5b-predominant mucus obstruction caused by airway dehydration.

description: In this article we give a classification of the binary, simple, $ω$-categorical structures with SU-rank 1 and trivial pregeometry. This is done both by showing that they satisfy certain extension properties, but also by noting that they may be approximated by the almost sure theory of some sets of finite structures equipped with a probability measure. This study give results about general almost sure theories, but also considers certain attributes which, if they are almost surely true, generate almost sure theories with very specific properties such as $ω$-stability or strong minimality.

description: Diffusion of the viral vectors evaluated in inhaled gene therapy clinical trials to date are largely hindered within airway mucus, which limits their access to, and transduction of, the underlying airway epithelium prior to clearance from the lung. Here, we discovered that adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 6 was able to rapidly diffuse through mucus collected from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, unlike previously tested AAV serotypes. A point mutation of the AAV6 capsid suggests a potential mechanism by which AAV6 avoids adhesion to the mucus mesh. Significantly greater transgene expression was achieved with AAV6 compared to a mucoadhesive serotype, AAV1, in air-liquid interface cultures of human CF bronchial epithelium with naturally secreted mucus or induced mucus hypersecretion. In addition, AAV6 achieved superior distribution and overall level of transgene expression compared to AAV1 in the airways and whole lungs, respectively, of transgenic mice with airway mucus obstruction. Our findings motivate further evaluation and clinical development of AAV6 for inhaled gene therapy.
Star formation properties of galaxy cluster A1767

description: Abell 1767 is a dynamically relaxed, cD cluster of galaxies with a redshift of 0.0703. Among 250 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies within a projected radius of 2.5r_{200}, 243 galaxies (~ 97%) are spectroscopically covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Based on this homogeneous spectral sample, the stellar evolutionary synthesis code, STARLIGHT, is applied to investigate the stellar populations and star formation histories (SFHs) of cluster galaxies. The star formation properties of galaxies, such as mean stellar ages, metallicities, stellar masses, and star formation rates (SFRs), are presented as the functions of local galaxy density. Strong environmental effect is found in the manner that massive galaxies in the high-density core region of cluster tend to have higher metallicities, longer mean stellar ages, and lower specific star formation rates (SSFRs), and their recent star formation activities have been remarkably suppressed. In addition, the correlations of the metallicity and SSFR with stellar mass are confirmed.

description: Rationale: E-cigarettes vaporize propylene glycol/vegetable glycerin (PG/VG), nicotine, and flavorings. However, the long-term health effects of exposing lungs to vaped e-liquids are unknown. Objectives: To determine the effects of chronic vaping on pulmonary epithelia. Methods: We performed research bronchoscopies on healthy nonsmokers, cigarette smokers, and e-cigarette users (vapers) and obtained bronchial brush biopsies and lavage samples from these subjects for proteomic investigation. We further employed in vitro and murine exposure models to support our human findings. Measurements and Main Results: Visual inspection by bronchoscopy revealed that vaper airways appeared friable and erythematous. Epithelial cells from biopsy samples revealed approximately 300 proteins that were differentially expressed in smoker and vaper airways, with only 78 proteins being commonly altered in both groups and 113 uniquely altered in vapers. For example, CYP1B1 (cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily B member 1), MUC5AC (mucin 5 AC), and MUC4 levels were increased in vapers. Aerosolized PG/VG alone significantly increasedMUC5AC protein in human airway epithelial cultures and in murine nasal epithelia in vivo.We also found that e-liquids rapidly entered cells and that PG/VG reduced membrane fluidity and impaired protein diffusion. Conclusions: We conclude that chronic vaping exerts marked biological effects on the lung and that these effects may in part be mediated by the PG/VG base. These changes are likely not harmless and may have clinical implications for the development of chronic lung disease. Further studies will be required to determine the full extent of vaping on the lung.
