title: An Investigation of a Gas Measurement Technique Employing Ultraviolet Excitation
Creators: name: Diaz, Alphonso Vincent
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1970

description: A study was undertaken to determine the general applicability of a temperature measurement technique which uses the fluorescence stimulated by a vacuum ultraviolet continuum as the indicator. This study was directed toward determining the temperature of nonradiating carbon monoxide. A number of ultraviolet radiation sources which produced high intensity in the region of l,150 A were investigated. This study led to the conclusion that the technique was not applicable to measurements in carbon monoxide within the present limits of' detectability.
Towards a unified theory of the fundamental physical interactions based on the underlying geometric structure of the tangent bundle
Creators: name: Herrmann, Joachim

description: This paper pursues the hypothesis that the tangent bundle (TB) with the central extended little groups of the SO(3,1) group as gauge group is the underlying geometric structure for a unified theory of the fundamental physical interactions. Based on this hypothesis as a first step recently I presented a generalized theory of electroweak interaction which includes hypothetical dark matter particles (Eur. Phys. J C 79, 779 (2019). The vertical Laplacian of the tangent bundle possesses the same form as the Hamiltonian of a 2D semiconductor quantum Hall system. This explains fractional charge quantization of quarks and the existence of lepton and quark families. As will be shown the SU(3) colour symmetry for strong interaction arises in the TB as an emergent symmetry similar as Chern-Simon gauge symmetries in quantum Hall systems. This predicts a signature of quark confinement as an universal large-scale property of the Chern-Simon fields and induces a new understanding of the vacuum as the ground state occupied with a condensate of quark-antiquark pairs. The gap for quark-antiquark pairing is calculated in the mean-field approximation which allows a numerical estimation of the characteristic parameters of the vacuum such as its chemical potential, the quark condensation parameter and the vacuum energy. Note that previously a gauge theoretical understanding of gravity has been achieved by considering the translation group T(3,1) in the TB as gauge group. Therefore the theory presented here can be considered as a new type of unified theory for all known fundamental interactions linked with the geometrization program of physics.

description: Current mobile context-aware applications for pervasive environments have been designed to consume information from computational nodes or devices in their surroundings or environments. As the hardware industry continues making much smaller, compact and cheap hardware, the vision of having plenty of very small powerful digital networking nodes in, for e.g., the living room or bedroom, is not so far. Designing software that can make optimal use of all these computational nodes when needed is still challenging; since software will not only consume information from these nodes but parts of the software can be hosted on these different nodes. In this paper we propose the BubbleCodes Framework which is a generic application partitioning and retraction framework for next generation context-aware applications that will have the capabilities to partition and retract themselves on multiple computational nodes in a pervasive environment.

description: In this work, we propose two bifunctional nanocomposite catalysts based on acidic mesostructured γ-Al2O3 and a Cu/ZnO/ZrO2 redox phase. γ-Al2O3 was synthesized by an Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly (EISA) method using two different templating agents (block copolymers Pluronic P123 and F127) and subsequently functionalized with the redox phase using an impregnation method modified with a self-combustion reaction. These nanocomposite catalysts and their corresponding mesostructured supports were characterized in terms of structural, textural, and morphological features as well as their acidic properties. The bifunctional catalysts were tested for the CO2-to-DME process, and their performances were compared with a physical mixture consisting of the most promising support as a dehydration catalyst together with the most common Cu-based commercial redox catalyst (CZA). The results highlight that the most appropriate Pluronic for the synthesis of γ-Al2O3 is P123; the use of this templating agent allows us to obtain a mesostructure with a smaller pore size and a higher number of acid sites. Furthermore, the corresponding composite catalyst shows a better dispersion of the redox phase and, consequently, a higher CO2 conversion. However, the incorporation of the redox phase into the porous structure of the acidic support (chemical mixing), favoring an intimate contact between the two phases, has detrimental effects on the dehydration performances due to the coverage of the acid sites with the redox nanophase. On the other hand, the strategy involving the physical mixing of the two phases, distinctly preserving the two catalytic functions, assures better performances.
Genome-wide analysis of mRNAs bound to the histone stem-loop binding protein

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The replication-dependent histone mRNAs are cell-cycle-regulated and expressed only during S phase. In contrast to all other eukaryotic mRNAs, the histone mRNAs end in a highly conserved 16-nucleotide stem–loop rather than a poly(A) tail. The stem–loop is necessary and sufficient for the post-transcriptional regulation of histone mRNA during the cell cycle. The histone mRNA 3′ stem–loop is bound by the stem–loop binding protein (SLBP) that is involved in pre-mRNA processing, translation, and stability of histone mRNA. Immunoprecipitation (IP) of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) followed by microarray analysis has been used to identify the targets of RNA-binding proteins. This method is sometimes referred to as RIP-Chip (RNA IP followed by microarray analysis). Here we introduce a variation on the RIP-Chip method that uses a recombinant RBP to identify mRNA targets in a pool of total RNA; we call this method recombinant, or rRIP-Chip. Using this method, we show that recombinant SLBP binds exclusively to all five classes of histone mRNA. We also analyze the messages bound to the endogenous SLBP on polyribosomes by immunoprecipitation. We use two different microarray platforms to identify enriched mRNAs. Both platforms demonstrate remarkable specificity and consistency of results. Our data suggest that the replication-dependent histone mRNAs are likely to be the sole target of SLBP.

description: Graphene's exceptional mechanical properties, including its highest-known stiffness (1 TPa) and strength (100 GPa) have been exploited for various structural applications. However, graphene is also known to be quite brittle, with experimentally-measured tensile fracture strains that do not exceed a few percent. In this work, we introduce the notion of graphene kirigami, where concepts that have been used almost exclusively for macroscale structures are applied to dramatically enhance the stretchability of both zigzag and armchair graphene. Specifically, we show using classical molecular dynamics simulations that the yield and fracture strains of graphene can be enhanced by about a factor of three using kirigami as compared to standard monolayer graphene. This enhanced ductility in graphene should open up interesting opportunities not only mechanically, but also in coupling to graphene's electronic behavior.

description: The large-scale magnetic field of solar-type stars reconstructed from their spectropolarimetric observations provide important insight into their underlying dynamo processes.We aim to investigate the temporal variability of the large-scale surface magnetic field and chromospheric activity of a young solar analogue, the G0 dwarf HN Peg.The large-scale surface magnetic field topology is reconstructed using Zeeman Doppler Imaging at six observational epochs covering seven years.We also investigated the chromospheric activity variations by measuring the flux in the line cores of the three chromospheric activity indicators: Ca II H&K, H alpha, and the Ca II IRT lines.The magnetic topology of HN Peg shows a complex and variable geometry. While the radial field exhibits a stable positive polarity magnetic region at the poles at each observational epoch, the azimuthal field is strongly variable in strength, where a strong band of positive polarity magnetic field is present at equatorial latitudes. This field disappears during the middle of our time span, reappearing again during the last two epochs of observations. The mean magnetic field derived from the magnetic maps also follow a similar trend to the toroidal field, with the field strength at a minimum in epoch 2009.54. Summing the line of sight magnetic field over the visible surface at each observation, HN Peg exhibits a weak longitudinal magnetic field ranging from -14 G to 13 G, with no significant long-term trend, although there is significant rotational variability within each epoch. Those chromospheric activity indicators exhibit more long-term variations over the time span of observations, where the minimal is observed in Epoch 2008.71.

description: Power systems are currently experiencing a transition towards decarbonisation of electrical generation through large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources. These are gradually replacing conventional thermal power plants which today are the main providers of black start (BS) services. Consequently, in case of a total/partial blackout, conventional black-start resources are not ready for operation. Offshore wind farms (OWFs), with their large capacity and fast controllers, have potential as novel BS units. This new service introduces a need for a new design for wind power systems to be able to fulfil the black start requirements for non-traditional generation units. In this paper, challenges, and possible solutions in integrating BS services into OWFs will be presented. A first challenge is represented by the implementation of a BS unit. The BS unit should be capable of firstly forming the wind farm power island and withstanding transient phenomena due to energisation. There could be several different solutions, e.g., the integration of grid-forming converters in the wind farm design which could be battery energy storage systems (BESSs). In this paper, specific challenges are analysed using simulations on a wind farm equipped with a grid-forming BESS, and the proposed solutions discussed. It can be concluded that a hybrid system comprised of a BESS and an OWF, in combination with novel technologies such as grid-forming control, soft-charging, etc. represents a feasible proposal for being able to provide BS services with OWFs.

description: The fraction of distant disks and mergers is still debated, while 3D-spectroscopy is revolutionizing the field. However its limited spatial resolution imposes a complimentary HST imagery and a robust analysis procedure. When applied to observations of IMAGES galaxies at z=0.4-0.8, it reveals that half of the spiral progenitors were in a merger phase, 6 billion year ago. The excellent correspondence between methodologically-based classifications of morphologies and kinematics definitively probes a violent origin of disk galaxies as proposed by Hammer et al. (2005). Examination of nearby galaxy outskirts reveals fossil imprints of such ancient merger events, under the form of well organized stellar streams. Perhaps our neighbor, M31, is the best illustration of an ancient merger, which modeling in 2010 leads to predict the gigantic plane of satellites discovered by Ibata et al. (2013). There are still a lot of discoveries to be done until the ELT era, which will open an avenue for detailed and accurate 3D-spectroscopy of galaxies from the earliest epochs to the present.

description: High-energy radiation of young pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) is known to be variable. This is most prominently exemplified by the Crab nebula which can undergo both rapid brightenings and dimmings. Two pulsars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, PSR J0540-6919 and PSR J0537-6910 are evolutionally very close to Crab, so one may expect the same kind of variability from the PWNe around them as from the Crab nebula. In this work we search for variability in these PWNe in gamma rays using the data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope in the range 100 MeV-10 GeV collected from August 2008 to December 2021. We construct light curves of these sources in the three bands, 100-300 MeV, 300-1000 MeV and 1-10 GeV with the one week time resolution. We find evidence of flaring activity in all the bands, in contrast with Crab, where no flares at $E>1$ GeV were observed. Analysis of the flaring episode in the 100-300 and 300-1000 MeV bands indicates that the flux of one of the PWNe could grew by a factor of $\approx 5-10$. We are not confident about which of the two PWNe flared because of their proximity in the sky. However, in the 1-10 GeV band where the angular resolution of the LAT is better, we find several episodes of enhanced brightness in both the PWNe. We check possible contaminants which could be responsible for the observed variability, but find their contribution not to be relevant.

description: For two decades, the formalism of quantum mechanics has been successfully used to describe human decision processes, situations of heuristic reasoning, and the contextuality of concepts and their combinations. The phenomenon of 'categorical perception' has put us on track to find a possible deeper cause of the presence of this quantum structure in human cognition. Thus, we show that in an archetype of human perception consisting of the reconciliation of a bottom up stimulus with a top down cognitive expectation pattern, there arises the typical warping of categorical perception, where groups of stimuli clump together to form quanta, which move away from each other and lead to a discretization of a dimension. The individual concepts, which are these quanta, can be modeled by a quantum prototype theory with the square of the absolute value of a corresponding Schrödinger wave function as the fuzzy prototype structure, and the superposition of two such wave functions accounts for the interference pattern that occurs when these concepts are combined. Using a simple quantum measurement model, we analyze this archetype of human perception, provide an overview of the experimental evidence base for categorical perception with the phenomenon of warping leading to quantization, and illustrate our analyses with two examples worked out in detail.

description: Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) bound the dissipation in non-equilibrium systems from below by fluctuations of an observed current. Contrasting the elaborate techniques employed in existing proofs, we here prove TURs directly from the Langevin equation. This establishes the TUR as an inherent property of overdamped stochastic equations of motion. In addition, we extend the transient TUR to currents and densities with explicit time-dependence. By including current-density correlations we, moreover, derive a new sharpened TUR for transient dynamics. Our arguably simplest and most direct proof, together with the new generalizations, allows us to systematically determine conditions under which the different TURs saturate and thus allows for a more accurate thermodynamic inference. Finally we outline the direct proof also for Markov jump dynamics.

description: We formulate an effective field theory description for SU(2)$_L$ triplet fermionic dark matter by combining nonrelativistic dark matter with gauge bosons in the soft-collinear effective theory. For a given dark matter mass, the annihilation cross section to line photons is obtained with 5% precision by simultaneously including Sommerfeld enhancement and the resummation of electroweak Sudakov logarithms at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. Using these results, we present more accurate and precise predictions for the gamma-ray line signal from annihilation, updating both existing constraints and the reach of future experiments.

description: In this article we trace some of the important eras in our child and youth care history and highlight a number of the early and more recent contributors to our evolving field whose legacies deserve to be passed on. We can trace the roots of our work to at least the Byzantine era and the founding of the first group care homes and orphanages. The notion of consilience is used to link longstanding practice wisdom to the findings of modern science. The movement towards community-based, family-supportive child and youth care is likely to be dominant in the future, especially in “majority world” countries, and this is to be welcomed. At the same time, we suggest there are good reasons to value and find potential in good residential care. It is proposed that the 2,000 year history and unique role of residential care may offer a defining and unifying theme for the future of our discipline and profession.

description: The concept of a topological Kondo insulator (TKI) has been brought forward as a new class of topological insulators in which non-trivial surface states reside in the bulk Kondo band gap at low temperature due to the strong spin-orbit coupling [1-3]. In contrast to other three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (e.g. Bi2Se3), a TKI is truly insulating in the bulk [4]. Furthermore, strong electron correlations are present in the system, which may interact with the novel topological phase. Applying spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES) to the Kondo insulator SmB6, a promising TKI candidate, we reveal that the surface states of SmB6 are spin polarized, and the spin is locked to the crystal momentum. Counter-propagating states (i.e. at k and -k) have opposite spin polarizations protected by time-reversal symmetry. Together with the odd number of Fermi surfaces of surface states between the 4 time-reversal invariant momenta in the surface Brillouin zone [5], these findings prove, for the first time, that SmB6 can host non-trivial topological surface states in a full insulating gap in the bulk stemming from the Kondo effect. Hence our experimental results establish that SmB6 is the first realization of a 3D TKI. It can also serve as an ideal platform for the systematic study of the interplay between novel topological quantum states with emergent effects and competing order induced by strongly correlated electrons.

description: Organizations undertake complex and costly projects to model high-quality Access Control Policies (ACPs). Once built, these policies must be maintained and managed in an ongoing process to keep their quality high. Insufficient maintenance leads to inaccurate authorization decisions and increases the policies’ administrative effort and susceptibility to errors. While the initial modeling of ACPs has received significant research interest, their optimization is not yet covered as broadly. This work provides a theoretical foundation for ACP quality and its optimization. Furthermore, it analyzes how existing research addresses optimization of ACPs with regard to six crucial optimization dimensions. It presents a structured literature survey tracing these optimization dimensions, the contributed research artifact and data requirements. Building on this literature catalogue, this work elaborates on inaccuracies for user permission assignments, data availability, minimal perturbation and recommendation-based optimization.

description: Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to explore the potential applications of intraabdominal and extracardiac CEUS beyond oncological settings. Introduction: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging is an affordable technique that uses safe microbubble-based contrast agents to characterize anatomic structures and visualize micro-vascularity across biological organs effectively (1). There has been increasing use of intraabdominal and extracardiac CEUS in indications beyond solid lesions (e.g., neoplasms) including perfusion assessment of organs in the abdominal cavity and treatment of active disease (1,5). The extent to which CEUS can be used clinically is not completely understood. An understanding of the existing and potential clinical uses of CEUS can help evolve the assessment and management of various pathologies. Inclusion/exclusion criteria: Population: Patients (humans) seen beyond oncological settings, Concept: Applications of intraabdominal and extracardiac CEUS, Context: Applications in non-oncological setting defined as the evaluation of nodules or masses, and biopsy guidance. Methods: The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews (10). The databases to be searched include Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL. The results of the search and the study inclusion process will be reported in full in the final scoping review and presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram (12).

description: The spin-momentum locking of topological states offers an ideal platform to explore novel magneto-electric effects. These intimately depend on the ability to manipulate the spin texture in a controlled way. Here, we combine scanning tunneling microscopy with single atoms deposition to map the evolution of topological states under the influence of different magnetic perturbations. We obtain signatures of Dirac fermion-mediated magnetic order for extremely dilute adatoms concentrations. This striking observation is found to critically depend on the single adatoms magnetic anisotropy and the position of the Fermi level. Our findings open new perspectives in spin engineering topological states at the atomic scale and pave the way to explore novel spin-related topological phenomena with promising potential for applications.

Potential for use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in primary care – benefits, harms, diagnostic accuracy and education opportunities: an umbrella review
Creators: name: Masuch, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Abstract Background: One of the greatest challenges in primary care is to make rapid decisions in an unfiltered patient population with usually little technical equipment. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a relatively new development where the clinician directly performs a focused sonographic examination with a specific question in mind. This could be a valuable adjunct to the clinical examination and could replace other imaging in some situations. Objectives: The purpose of this umbrella review is to evaluate benefits, harms, diagnostic accuracy and education opportunities of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) in primary care. Methods: First, a study protocol with preliminary search terms and eligibility criteria has been created. The study protocol will be registered in the Open Science Framework platform (osf.io). Database search will be conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid) the Cochrane Library (Wiley), epistemonikos.org and Scopus (Elsevier) etc. in September-October 2022. The search will be limited to systematic reviews published since 2012 to 2022 (last 10 years). For searching and reporting, the PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook will be taken into consideration. Significance for public health: The main object of this umbrella review is to draw attention to the potential of point-of-care ultrasound in primary care and to elicit deficits and disadvantages. In addition, current training programs will be evaluated. In this way, areas of application can be meaningfully expanded and future training programs can be etablized to further improve health care in the primary care sector.

These include executive functioning aspects such as planning and organisation, impulsivity and anxiety. Previous studies suggest that cognitive control processes may be engaged as compensatory mechanisms which facilitate performance when motor functioning is disadvantaged. Although in some groups with motor disorders these cognitive control processes have been found to be enhanced, in others they are attenuated, suggesting that compensation may not play a part in all developmental motor disorders. In order to investigate this variability further, we are investigating cognitive control mechanisms in two different developmental motor disorders with opposite patterns of motor difficulties. Individuals with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) present with difficulties in controlling the precision and coordination of movements and individuals with Chronic Tic Disorders (CTD) present with difficulties in controlling unintentional movements. In the current study, DCD and CTD individuals will complete two tasks requiring the engagement of enhanced control processes. A primed Go/Nogo with feedback (GNG) targeting motor planning and inhibition processes and a probabilistic learning (PL) task which targets the engagement of executive functioning to facilitate the learning of probabilities. These tasks will be performed whilst electroencephalography (EEG) is acquired. The results of these tasks in CTD and CDC will provide both behavioural and neural indicators of cognitive control processes along different presentations of motor control problems. In addition, data will be collected on impulsivity and anxiety in these two groups which may be associated with the investigated control processes.

description: Many four-dimensional supersymmetric compactifications of F-theory contain gauge groups that cannot be spontaneously broken through geometric deformations. These "non-Higgsable clusters" include realizations of $SU(3)$, $SU(2)$, and $SU(3) \times SU(2)$, but no $SU(n)$ gauge groups or factors with $n> 3$. We study possible realizations of the standard model in F-theory that utilize non-Higgsable clusters containing $SU(3)$ factors and show that there are three distinct possibilities. In one, fields with the non-abelian gauge charges of the standard model matter fields are localized at a single locus where non-perturbative $SU(3)$ and $SU(2)$ seven-branes intersect; cancellation of gauge anomalies implies that the simplest four-dimensional chiral $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ model that may arise in this context exhibits standard model families. We identify specific geometries that realize non-Higgsable $SU(3)$ and $SU(3) \times SU(2)$ sectors. This kind of scenario provides a natural mechanism that could explain the existence of an unbroken QCD sector, or more generally the appearance of light particles and symmetries at low energy scales.

description: This paper describes the Second Public Data Release (DR2) of the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey. The data for 200 objects are made public, including the 100 galaxies of the First Public Data Release (DR1). Data were obtained with the integral-field spectrograph PMAS/PPak mounted on the 3.5 m telescope at the Calar Alto observatory. Two different spectral setups are available for each galaxy, (i) a low-resolution V500 setup covering the wavelength range 3745-7500 Å with a spectral resolution of 6.0 Å (FWHM), and (ii) a medium-resolution V1200 setup covering the wavelength range 3650-4840 Å with a spectral resolution of 2.3 Å (FWHM). The sample covers a redshift range between 0.005 and 0.03, with a wide range of properties in the Color-Magnitude diagram, stellar mass, ionization conditions, and morphological types. All released cubes were reduced with the latest pipeline, including improved spectrophotometric calibration, spatial registration and spatial resolution. The spectrophotometric calibration is better than 6% and the median spatial resolution is 2.5". Altogether the second data release contains over 1.5 million spectra. It is available at http://califa.caha.es/DR2.

description: RNA molecules with novel functions have revived interest in the accurate prediction of RNA three-dimensional (3D) structure and folding dynamics. However, existing methods are inefficient in automated 3D structure prediction. Here, we report a robust computational approach for rapid folding of RNA molecules. We develop a simplified RNA model for discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations, incorporating base-pairing and base-stacking interactions. We demonstrate correct folding of 150 structurally diverse RNA sequences. The majority of DMD-predicted 3D structures have <4 Å deviations from experimental structures. The secondary structures corresponding to the predicted 3D structures consist of 94% native base-pair interactions. Folding thermodynamics and kinetics of tRNAPhe, pseudoknots, and mRNA fragments in DMD simulations are in agreement with previous experimental findings. Folding of RNA molecules features transient, non-native conformations, suggesting non-hierarchical RNA folding. Our method allows rapid conformational sampling of RNA folding, with computational time increasing linearly with RNA length. We envision this approach as a promising tool for RNA structural and functional analyses.

description: The lack of information before Big Bang Neucleosynthesis (BBN) allow us to assume the presence of a new species $ϕ$ whose energy density redshifts as $a^{-(4+n)}$ where $n>0$ and $a$ is the scale factor. This non-standard cosmological setup facilitates a larger portal coupling $(ε)$ between the dark and the visible sectors even when the two sectors are not in thermal equilibrium. Here, we have considered $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}\otimes U(1)_X$ gauge extension of the Standard Model (SM) and studied different phases of the cosmological evolution of a thermally decoupled dark sector such as leak-in, freeze-in, reannihilation, and late-time annihilation in the presence of fast expansion. Due to the tree level kinetic mixing between $U(1)_X$ and $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ gauge bosons, the dark sector couples with the $μ$ and $τ$ flavored leptons of the SM. We show that in our scenario it is possible to reconcile the dark matter relic density and muon $(g-2)$ anomaly. In particular, we show that for $2\times 10^{-4} \lesssim ε\lesssim 10^{-3}$, $5.5{\rm MeV} \lesssim m_{Z^\prime} \lesssim 200{\rm MeV}$, $n=4$, and $1{\rm TeV} \lesssim m_χ\lesssim 10{\rm TeV}$ relic density constraint of dark matter, constraint from muon $(g-2)$ anomaly, and other cosmological, astrophysical constraints are satisfied.
