title: Mars habitability: An investigation of Martian meteorites and terrestrial analogues – implications for Mars sample return
Creators: name: Sym, Lewis Sean Jamie
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The current Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission is poised to return rock samples to Earth from the surface of Mars as early as 2033 – with a major goal of this ground-breaking mission being the investigation of Martian biology. In response to the preparation and development required for a successful MSR mission, this project aims to both further the understanding of Martian habitability and prepare for the analysis of returned samples in a biological context. An extensive literature compilation of 11 nakhlite Martian meteorites is produced including the bulk rock compositions, iddingsite compositions, and crystallisation ages. Evidence is presented supporting both a low water-rock ratio ephemeral interaction and a high water-rock ratio potentially long-lived hydrothermal environment as the true nature of the Nakhlite launch site’s aqueous alteration. An ephemeral alteration is ultimately favoured. Atom probe tomography (APT) analyses of the nakhlite Northwest Africa 817 illuminate that, given more attention, APT holds the potential to assist in distinguishing between these two end-case scenarios for the nakhlite alteration (which present greatly differing habitability potentials). An analytical pipeline is successfully employed to directly probe nm-scale carbon inclusions preserved within fossiliferous Rhynie chert and Yellowstone National Park samples (both known terrestrial analogue sites resembling Martian hydrothermal environments). The methodology and analytical avenues presented in these terrestrial analogue investigations can serve as a guide for future returned Martian sample interrogations in the search for preserved Martian biosignatures. Along with evaluating the analytical workflow’s effectiveness, multiple recommendations are proposed to improve the pipeline in response to issues experienced throughout this project – developing the pipeline such that better, more robust, results may be obtained in future utilisations. This work carries MSR implications, embodying a step towards the preparation for the analysis of returned Martian samples in a biological context, and also serves to advocate for the usage of APT in the analysis of Martian meteorites, returned Martian samples, and further planetary science materials.

description: Resonances in the photo-absorption spectrum of the generating medium can modify the spectrum of high order harmonics. In particular, window-type Fano resonances can reduce photo-absorption within a narrow spectral region and, consequently, lead to an enhanced emission of high-order harmonics in absorption-limited generation conditions. For high harmonic generation in argon it is shown that the 3s3p6 np 1P1 window resonances (n=4,5,6) give rise to enhanced photon yield. In particular, the 3s3p6 4p 1P1 resonance at 26.6 eV allows a relative enhancement up to a factor of 30 compared to the characteristic photon emission of the neighboring harmonic order. This enhanced, spectrally isolated and coherent photon emission line has a relative energy bandwidth of only ΔE/E=3*10-3. Therefore, it might be directly applied for precision spectroscopy or coherent diffractive imaging without the need of additional spectral filtering. The presented mechanism can be employed for tailoring and controlling the high harmonic emission of manifold target materials.

description: This deliverable D6.2 is the first report of the stakeholder workshops that have been organized in the period from January to April 2023 in the four application case studies of the EU Horizon Europe PARATUS project (https://www.paratus-project.eu/): Istanbul (Turkey), Sint Maarten (Caribbean), Brenner (Austria) and Bucharest (Romania). Due to the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria in February 2023, the workshop planning in Istanbul and Bucharest was changed. Nevertheless, stakeholder workshops have now been organized in the project's four application case studies. As co-development is a very important component of the PARATUS project, the stakeholder involvement in the process was crucial, for hazard identification, brainstorming on impact chains, for historical disaster events, analysis of possible changes expected in the area, and an evaluation of the needs and expectations of the stakeholders. This report provides an overview of the workshops and presents the main finding. The workshops are the first in a series on which co-development of the PARATUS platform will depend.

description: Purpose: This study examined the effect of phonological overlap on English and Spanish expressive vocabulary accuracy as measured by the bilingual Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test–Fourth Edition (EOWPVT-IV). We hypothesized that if languages interact during an expressive vocabulary task, then higher phonological overlap will predict higher expressive vocabulary accuracy, especially in the nondominant language. Method: Twenty English-dominant bilingual children (English–Spanish) completed the bilingual EOWPVT-IV. We calculated phonological overlap between 117 English and Spanish words included in the bilingual EOWPVT using the Crosslinguistic Overlap Scale for Phonology. Results: Generalized logistic mixed-effect models revealed that phonological overlap and word frequency predicted vocabulary accuracy in Spanish, in addition to item difficulty. Age and item difficulty were the only predictors of English accuracy. Conclusions: Phonological overlap was a significant predictor of Spanish vocabulary accuracy (the least dominant language of the children in our sample), suggesting a transfer between vocabulary in the dominant language into vocabulary in the least dominant language. Future studies should investigate how languages interact in bilingual children to provide us with information about how to create and administer vocabulary tests that represent vocabulary in each language and use vocabulary teaching strategies that promote dual language development.

description: We investigate the behavior of spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large parton momentum fractions x in the context of global QCD analysis. We explore the constraints from existing deep-inelastic scattering data, and from theoretical expectations for the leading x -> 1 behavior based on hard gluon exchange in perturbative QCD. Systematic uncertainties from the dependence of the PDFs on the choice of parametrization are studied by considering functional forms motivated by orbital angular momentum arguments. Finally, we quantify the reduction in the PDF uncertainties that may be expected from future high-x data from Jefferson Lab at 12 GeV.

description: We present a cavity piezo-optomechanical system where microwave and optical degrees of freedom are coupled through an ultra-high frequency mechanical resonator. By utilizing the coherence among the three interacting modes, we demonstrate optical amplification, coherent absorption and a more general asymmetric Fano resonance. The strong piezoelectric drive further allows access to the large-amplitude-induced optomechanical nonlinearity, with which optical transparency at higher harmonics through multi-phonon scattering is demonstrated.

description: A new method for selecting stars in the Galactic bar based on 2MASS infrared photometry in combination with stellar proper motions from the Kharkiv XPM catalogue has been implemented. In accordance with this method, red clump and red giant branch stars are preselected on the color -- magnitude diagram and their photometric distances are calculated. Since the stellar proper motions are indicators of a larger velocity dispersion toward the bar and the spiral arms compared to the stars with circular orbits, applying the constraints on the proper motions of the preselected stars that take into account the Galactic rotation has allowed the background stars to be eliminated. Based on a joint analysis of the velocities of the selected stars and their distribution on the Galactic plane, we have confidently identified the segment of the Galactic bar nearest to the Sun with an orientation of 20$^\circ$--25$^\circ$ with respect to the Galactic center -- Sun direction and a semimajor axis of no more than 3 kpc.

description: The distribution of Coulomb blockade peak heights as a function of magnetic field is investigated experimentally in a Ge-Si nanowire quantum dot. Strong spin-orbit coupling in this hole-gas system leads to antilocalization of Coulomb blockade peaks, consistent with theory. In particular, the peak height distribution has its maximum away from zero at zero magnetic field, with an average that decreases with increasing field. Magnetoconductance in the open-wire regime places a bound on the spin-orbit length ($l_{so}$ < 20 nm), consistent with values extracted in the Coulomb blockade regime ($l_{so}$ < 25 nm).

description: Purpose: Some children with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulty acquiring conventional reading and writing skills. This systematic review explores the different types of literacy instruction and their effects on the reading and writing skills of children with CP. Method: Relevant studies published between 2000 and 2020 were identified using electronic databases and terms related to CP and literacy. Data on participant characteristics, instruction characteristics, and instruction outcomes were extracted. A standardized measure of effect size was used to quantify reported treatment effects. Results: The systematic search identified 2,970 potentially relevant studies, of which 24 met inclusion criteria. These studies included 66 children with CP aged 5–18 years. One of the included studies utilized a group research design, whereas the remaining used single-subject designs. Studies investigated literacy instruction methods designed to teach phonics, sight-word recognition, reading fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, or written expression skills, or multicomponent instruction (instruction methods encompassing three or more of these skills). Most instruction methods were associated with gains in reading and writing skills with medium to large effects; however, our analysis of methodological rigor suggests that these findings need to be interpreted with caution. Conclusions: We propose that literacy instruction utilizing evidence-based principles can be effective for children with CP, provided instruction is accessible and allows children to demonstrate and receive feedback on their skills; however, further research is greatly needed. Clinical implications and priorities for future research are discussed. Supplemental Material S1. PRISMA 2020 Checklist. Supplemental Material S2. Data extraction form.

description: Background
 Surgical interest groups provide networking and educational opportunities to students and trainees interested in pursuing surgery. Increased understanding of the barriers and perceptions of this group would inform targeted supportive strategies to increase accessibility and retainment in surgery from early on in the career journey.
 Summary of Work
 Collaborating with a student surgical interest group, we hosted a large-scale, international online surgical interest event. Attendees filled out a questionnaire to quantify their interests and perceptions towards surgery.
 Summary of Results
 There were a total of 192 respondents from 40 countries. The most respondents were from the USA (22.9%), the UK (19.3%), Libya (7.8%), and Burundi (7.3%). The respondents were highly diverse - 24.0% White, 22.9% Asian, 17.2% Black, 12.5% Hispanic/Latino, and 12.5% Middle-Eastern/Northern African. The majority of respondents were medical students (74.5%). 86.8% of respondents were women.
 Survey respondents reported a high interest in surgery (8.87 out of maximum 10 ± 1.73). However, despite reporting high confidence in their ability to become surgeons (7.20 ± 2.26), they reported they felt they faced significant barriers (7.35 ± 2.33). On average, they reported low feelings of preparedness for surgical placement (5.71 ± 2.49) and a low opinion on the ease of obtaining work-life balance (4.58 ± 2.31). Having role-model surgeons was considered very important (8.73 ± 1.54). Additionally, diversity in surgery was rated as extremely important (9.02 ± 1.67). On average, men responded more positively than women on their confidence to become a surgeon [8.21 (1.79) men vs 7.02 (2.29) women], while men responded less strongly on the importance of diversity in surgery [9.23 (1.37) women vs 7.50 (2.64) men].
 Discussion
 Overall, this very diverse population of medical students and trainee doctors reported high interest in surgery and high confidence in their ability to be surgeons. However, they simultaneously reported that they faced significant barriers, citing lack of role models, lack of feelings of preparedness, and racial and gender biases. These findings are consistent with the fact that this was a self-selected group interested in surgery and suggests this cohort has high levels of determination and ‘grit’ when it comes to their career choice. Additionally, women rated feelings of barriers higher and confidence to become surgeons lower compared to men.
 Conclusion
 Key points to be addressed include low feelings of preparedness for surgical placement, the importance of having role-model surgeons, and the high value given to having diversity in surgery. Additionally, targeted interventions towards disadvantaged subgroups such as women are warranted.

The resonant interactions of the radiation and the solitons are studied and it is shown that the solitons can be effectively controlled by the radiation. In particular it is shown that the solitons can collide or to get pinned to inhomogeneities due to the interactions mediated by the resonant radiation.

description: The response of an arbitrary closed quantum system to a partially coherent electric field is investigated, with a focus on the transient coherences in the system. As a model we examine, both perturbatively and numerically, the coherences induced in a three level $V$ system. Both rapid turn-on and pulsed turn-on effects are investigated. The effect of a long and incoherent pulse is also considered, demonstrating that during the pulse the system shows a coherent response which reduces after the pulse is over. Both the pulsed scenario and the thermally broadened CW case approach a mixed state in the long time limit, with rates dictated by the adjacent level spacings and the coherence time of the light, and via a mechanism that is distinctly difference from traditional decoherence. These two excitation scenarios are also explored for a minimal "toy" model of the electronic levels in pigment protein complex PC645 by both a collisionally broadened CW laser and by a noisy pulse, where unexpectedly long transient coherence times are observed and explained. The significance of environmentally induced decoherence is noted.

description: We discuss the semiclassical limit of Quantum Reduced Loop Gravity, a recently proposed model to address the quantum dynamics of the early Universe. We apply the techniques developed in full Loop Quantum Gravity to define the semiclassical states in the kinematical Hilbert space and evaluating the expectation value of the euclidean scalar constraint we demonstrate that it coincides with the classical expression, {\it i.e.} the one of a local Bianchi I dynamics. The result holds as a leading order expansion in the scale factors of the Universe and opens the way to study the subleading corrections to the semiclassical dynamics. We outline how by retaining a suitable finite coordinate length for holonomies our effective Hamiltonian at the leading order coincides with the one expected from LQC. This result is an important step in fixing the correspondence between LQG and LQC.

description: This thesis mainly discusses methodologies, challenges and new technologies needed for developing soft robot for exploration and manipulation. Our results demonstrated that plants have many smart strategies (root morphologies to growth mechanism) and could be best solution developing soft exploratory robots. Moreover, this work also draws attention how these basic technologies could be developed and mimicked. Similarly, in the case manipulation, this work directed towards the reliable technologies and new design approach by combining and hard and soft components. Which results reproducible and accurate movement in unstructured environment. But, in the both part of the work on sensing capabilities with high performance actuators or its more complex design (closer bio-inspired features, multi-features-based design) was needed. To address those challenges, I developed new sensor an actuator with new materials via using 3D printing and develop further work using this technology.

title: Examining Health System Responsiveness to Public Feedback in Kilifi County, Kenya
Creators: name: Kagwanja, Nancy Nyambura
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Responsiveness is a core element of WHO’s health system framework, judged important in ensuring inclusive and accountable health systems. However, responsiveness as a health system goal has been under-researched. I conducted a policy document analysis and a qualitative case study to examine how policy, context, and power dynamics impact responsiveness in the Kenyan health sector. I collected data in two Sub- County Health Management Teams (SCHMTs) and four Health Facility Committees (HFCs), selected as cases of spaces for processing and responding to public feedback, in Kilifi County. This case study work involved interviews with county and sub-county health managers, facility-in-charges, and local politicians, focus group discussions with HFCs, observations and document review. Study findings suggested limited responsiveness, which was a consequence of interactions between i) a macro-policy context that adopted a narrow health service-focused framing of responsiveness, lacked a coherent strategy for system-wide responsiveness and had inadequate detail on the functioning of feedback mechanisms, ii) actor interactions and power dynamics that contributed to the public -particularly vulnerable groups being constrained from sharing feedback and health system actors being oriented away from public feedback, and iii) meso-level contextual factors such as under-resourcing of the health system and low resourcing of feedback mechanisms that worked to entrench provider norms and hierarchical relationships, and that were not supportive of system responsiveness. Informal feedback mechanisms that evolved from public efforts to leverage responses were not sufficient to generate system-wide responsiveness. By adopting a systems lens, this work has identified interacting influences on responsiveness. Responsiveness could be strengthened by adopting policy adjustments that reflect its breadth and complexity. Policymakers and health managers should also appreciate and leverage the lived realities of actors and address the meso contextual factors that interact to hinder the processes of receiving and responding to public feedback.

description: In this article, we show some new second main theorems for the mappings and moving hyperplanes of $¶^n(\C)$ with truncated counting functions. Our results are improvements of recent previous second main theorems for moving hyperplanes with the truncated (to level $n$) counting functions. As their application, we prove a unicity theorem for meromorphic mappings sharing moving hyperplanes.

description: The Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) is one of the modules of EChO, the Exoplanets Characterization Observatory proposed to ESA for an M-class mission. EChO is aimed to observe planets while transiting by their suns. Then the instrument had to be designed to assure a high efficiency over the whole spectral range. In fact, it has to be able to observe stars with an apparent magnitude Mv= 9-12 and to see contrasts of the order of 10-4 - 10-5 necessary to reveal the characteristics of the atmospheres of the exoplanets under investigation. VNIR is a spectrometer in a cross-dispersed configuration, covering the 0.4-2.5 micron spectral range with a resolving power of about 330 and a field of view of 2 arcsec. It is functionally split into two channels respectively working in the 0.4-1 and 1.0-2.5 micron spectral ranges. Such a solution is imposed by the fact the light at short wavelengths has to be shared with the EChO Fine Guiding System (FGS) devoted to the pointing of the stars under observation. The spectrometer makes use of a HgCdTe detector of 512 by 512 pixels, 18 micron pitch and working at a temperature of 45K as the entire VNIR optical bench. The instrument has been interfaced to the telescope optics by two optical fibers, one per channel, to assure an easier coupling and an easier colocation of the instrument inside the EChO optical bench.

description: Coherent light-matter interaction at the single photon and electronic qubit level promises the remarkable potential for nonclassical information processing. Against the efforts of improving the figure of merit of the cavities, here we demonstrate strong anharmonicity in the polariton dressed states via dark state resonances in a highly dissipative cavity. It is shown that vacuum Rabi oscillation occurs for a single quantum emitter inside a cavity even with bosonic decay-to-interaction rate ratio exceeding $10^{2}$, when the photon field is coupled to an auxiliary high-$Q$ cavity. Moreover, photon blockade is observable in such a highly-dissipative cavity quantum electrodynamics system. This study provides a promising platform for overcoming decoherence and advancing the coherent manipulation of polariton qubits.

description: Supplementary Material 4: Supplementary Figure 4. Diagnosis of primary tumor using CSF-ctDNA. This 44-year-old man presented to the hospital with a diagnosis of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Sequencing of genomic DNA from the tumor demonstrated a canonical BRAF p.V600E mutation. In subsequent months, the patient presents with a brain lesion suspected to represent a brain metastasis. CSF sequencing revealed a mutational profile that was distinct from and clonally unrelated to the papillary thyroid cancer, with a non-canonical histone mutation; these variants and the lack of the BRAF mutation indicated a second malignancyfor this patient

description: The Wiener chaos approach to interest rate modelling arises from the observation that the pricing kernel admits a representation in terms of the conditional variance of a square-integrable random variable, which in turn admits a chaos expansion. When the expansion coefficients factorise into multiple copies of a single function, then the resulting interest rate model is called coherent, whereas a generic interest rate model will necessarily be incoherent. Coherent representations are nevertheless of fundamental importance because incoherent ones can always be expressed as a linear superposition of coherent elements. This property is exploited to derive general expressions for the pricing kernel and the associated bond price and short rate processes in the case of an n-th order chaos model for each $n$. The pricing formulae for bond options and swaptions are obtained in closed forms for a number of examples. An explicit representation for the pricing kernel of a generic---incoherent---model is then obtained by use of the underlying coherent elements. Finally, finite-dimensional realisations of the coherent chaos models are investigated in detail. In particular, it is shown that a class of highly tractable models can be constructed having the characteristic feature that the discount bond price is given by a piecewise flat (simple) process.
