description: A toroidal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer was used to expose normal bladder wall tissues non-invasively in vivo in a porcine model in order to investigate the potential to treat bladder tumors. The transducer was divided into 32 concentric rings with equal surface areas, operating at 2.5 MHz. Eight animals were split into two groups of 4. In the first group, post-mortem evaluation was performed immediately after ultrasound exposure. In the second group, animals survived for up to seven days before post-mortem evaluation. The ultrasound imaging guided HIFU device was hand-held during the procedure using optical tracking to ensure correct targeting. One thermal lesion in each animal was created using a 40 s exposure at 80 acoustic Watts (free-field) in the trigone region of the bladder wall. The average ($\pm$Standard Deviation) abdominal wall and bladder wall thicknesses were 10.3 $\pm$ 1.4 mm and 1.1 $\pm$ 0.4 mm respectively. The longest and shortest axes of the HIFU ablations were 7.7 $\pm$ 2.9 mm and 6.0 $\pm$ 1.8 mm, respectively, resulting in an ablation of the whole thickness of the bladder wall in most cases. Ablation were performed at an average depth (distance from the skin surface to the centre of the HIFU lesion) of 42.5 $\pm$ 3.8 mm and extended throughout the thickness of the bladder. There were two cases of injury to tissues immediately adjacent to the bladder wall but without signs of perforation, as confirmed by histological analysis. Non-invasive HIFU ablation using a hand-held toroidal transducer was successfully performed to destroy regions of the bladder wall in vivo.

description: Using a sample of 208 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from Swift/BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey in ultra-hard X-ray band ($14-195$ keV), the hot corona properties are investigated, i.e. the fraction of gravitational energy dissipated in the hot corona and the hard X-ray photon index. The bolometric luminosity, \lb, is calculated from host-corrected luminosity at 5100 Å. Virial supermassive black hole masses (SMBH, \mbh) are calculated from the $\rm Hβ$ line width and the corresponding broad line region size-luminosity empirical relation at 5100 Å. We find a strong anti-correlation between the fraction of energy released in corona ($F_x \equiv L_{14-195 keV}/L_{\rm Edd}$) and the Eddington ratio ($ \varepsilon \equiv L_{\rm Bol}/L_{\rm Edd}$), $F_x \propto \varepsilon^{-0.60\pm 0.1}$. It is found that this fraction also has a correlation with the SMBH mass, $F_x \propto \varepsilon^{-0.74\pm 0.14} M_{\rm BH}^{-0.30\pm 0.03}$. Assuming that magnetic buoyancy and feild reconnection lead to the formation of a hot corona, our result favours the shear stress tensor being a proportion of the gas pressure. For our entire sample, it is found that the hard X-ray photon index $Γ$ has a weak but significant correlation with the Eddington ratio, $ Γ=2.17+0.21\log \varepsilon$. However, this correlation is not robust because the relation is not statistically significant for its subsample of 32 RM AGNs with relatively reliable $M_{\rm BH}$ or its subsample of 166 AGNs with single-epoch $M_{\rm BH}$. We do not find a statistically significant relation between the photon index and the Eddington ratio taking into account an additional dependence on $F_x$.

description: We investigate numerically and experimentally the near-field response of disordered arrays comprising asymmetrically split ring resonators that exhibit strong cooperative response. Our simulations treat the unit cell split ring resonators as discrete pointlike oscillators with associated electric and magnetic point dipole radiation, while the strong cooperative radiative coupling between the different split rings is fully included at all orders. The methods allow to calculate local field and Purcell factor enhancement arising from the collective electric and magnetic excitations. We find substantially increased standard deviation of the Purcell-enhancement with disorder, making it increasingly likely to find collective excitation eigenmodes with very high Purcell factors that are also stronger for magnetic than electric excitations. We show that disorder can dramatically modify the cooperative response of the metamaterial even in the presence of strong dissipation losses as is the case for plasmonic systems. Our analysis in terms of collective eigenmodes paves a way for controlled engineering of electromagnetic device functionalities based on strongly interacting metamaterial arrays.

We obtain a transcendental equation after we impose the boundary conditions. We calculate energy spectra in four different limits and in arbitrary dimension via the Newton-Raphson method. Then, we use a statistical method, namely canonical partition function, and discuss the thermodynamic properties of the system in a comprehensive way. We find out that some of the thermodynamic properties overlap with each other, some of them do not.

description: Crocodilians usually remain inside or near their nests during most vulnerable life stages (as eggs, neonates and reproductive females). Thus, protection of nesting sites is one of the most appropriate conservation actions for these species. Nesting sites are often found across areas with difficult access, making remote sensing a valuable tool used to derive environmental variables for characterisation of nesting habitats. In this study, we (i) review crocodilian nesting habitats worldwide to identify key variables for nesting site distribution: proximity to open-water, open-water stability, vegetation, light, precipitation, salinity, soil properties, temperature, topography, and flooding status, (ii) present a summary of the relative importance of these variables for each crocodilian species, (iii) identify knowledge gaps in the use of remote sensing methods currently used to map potential crocodilian nesting sites, and (iv) provide insight into how these remotely sensed variables can be derived to promote research on crocodilian ecology and conservation. We show that few studies have used remote sensing and that the range of images and methods used comprises a tiny fraction of what is available at little to no cost. Finally, we discuss how the combined use of remote sensing methods – optical, radar, and laser – may help overcome difficulties routinely faced in nest mapping (e.g., cloud cover, flooding beneath the forest canopy, or complicated relief) in a relevant way to crocodilians and to other semiaquatic vertebrates in different environments.

description: Equilibrium bifurcation in natural systems can sometimes be explained as a route to stress shielding for preventing failure. Although compressive buckling has been known for a long time, its less-intuitive tensile counterpart was only recently discovered and yet never identified in living structures or organisms. Through the analysis of an unprecedented all-in-one paradigm of elastic instability, it is theoretically and experimentally shown that coexistence of two curvatures in human finger joints is the result of an optimal design by nature that exploits both compressive and tensile buckling for inducing luxation in case of traumas, so realizing a unique mechanism for protecting tissues and preventing more severe damage under extreme loads. Our findings might pave the way to conceive complex architectured and bio-inspired materials, as well as next generation artificial joint prostheses and robotic arms for bio-engineering and healthcare applications.

description: Through conceptualizing migration as a social process, this dissertation examines the role of social support among urban migrants. Existing research examining social support is often framed in North American or European contexts and ignores its connectivity with migration or mobility. There remains critical opportunity for research to examine how social support paradigms function in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and from the perspective of urban migrants, including refugees and economic migrants. By expanding the frame of both migration and social support research, this dissertation endeavors to enrich the empirical knowledge surrounding the role of social support among urban migrants. To accomplish this, this dissertation examines the intersection of trauma, social support, and depression among two urban migrant populations. Through its integration of data from female Syrian refuges in Jordan and male economic migrants in Kazakhstan, this dissertation aims to describe social support, potentially traumatic events (PTEs), and depressive symptomology; identify the direct association of social support and depressive symptomology, and; examine the moderating role of social support on depressive symptomology related to PTEs. This dissertation is guided by the Push-Pull Theory, the Stress-Buffering Hypothesis, and van Brenda’s conceptualization of resilience. Findings from this dissertation suggest that social support plays a critical role, both directly and indirectly, in influencing outcomes of depressive symptomology. Findings have several implications for social support measurement and direct practice of mental health clinicians, as well as informing how community-based interventions and mental-health policies within LMICs can integrate social support within their resiliency frameworks.
Sparling two-forms, the conformal factor and the gravitational energy density of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity

description: It has been shown recently that within the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) it is possible to define the energy density of the gravitational field. The TEGR amounts to an alternative formulation of Einstein's general relativity, not to an alternative gravity theory. The localizability of the gravitational energy has been investigated in a number of space-times with distinct topologies, and the outcome of these analises agree with previously known results regarding the exact expression of the gravitational energy, and/or with the specific properties of the space-time manifold. In this article we establish a relationship between the expression for the gravitational energy density of the TEGR and the Sparling two-forms, which are known to be closely connected with the gravitational energy. We also show that our expression of energy yields the correct value of gravitational mass contained in the conformal factor of the metric field.

description: Alternative protein-coding transcripts of the RASSF1 gene have been associated with dual functions in human cancer: while RASSF1C isoform has oncogenic properties, RASSF1A is a tumour suppressor frequently silenced by hypermethylation. Recently, the antisense long non-coding RNA RASSF1 (ANRASSF1) was implicated in a locus-specific mechanism for the RASSF1A epigenetic repression mediated by PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2). Here, we evaluated the methylation patterns of the promoter regions of RASSF1A and RASSF1C and the expression levels of these RASSF1 transcripts in breast cancer and breast cancer cell lines. As expected, RASSF1C remained unmethylated and RASSF1A was hypermethylated at high frequencies in 75 primary breast cancers, and also in a panel of three mammary epithelial cells (MEC) and 10 breast cancer cell lines (BCC). Although RASSF1C was expressed in all cell lines, only two of them expressed the transcript RASSF1A. ANRASSF1 expression levels were increased in six BCCs. In vitro induced demethylation with 5-Aza-2ʹ-deoxicytydine (5-Aza-dC) resulted in up-regulation of RASSF1A and an inverse correlation with ANRASSF1 relative abundance in BCCs. However, increased levels of both transcripts were observed in two MECs (184A1 and MCF10A) after treatment with 5-Aza-dC. Overall, these findings indicate that ANRASSF1 is differentially expressed in MECs and BCCs. The lncRNA ANRASSF1 provides new perspectives as a therapeutic target for locus-specific regulation of RASSF1A.

description: Langmuir monolayers are advantageous systems used to investigate how lipid membranes get involved in the physiology of many living structures, such as collapse phenomena in alveolar structures. Much work focuses on characterizing the pressure-bearing capacity of Langmuir films, expressed in the form of isotherm curves. These show that monolayers experience different phases during compression with an according evolution of their mechanical response, incurring into instability events when a critical stress threshold is overcome. Although well-known state equations, which establish an inverse relationship between surface pressure and area change, are able to describe monolayer behavior during liquid expanded phase, the modelling of their nonlinear behavior in the subsequent condensed region is still an open issue. In this regard, efforts are addressed to explain out-of-plane collapse by modeling buckling and wrinkling mainly resorting to linearly elastic plate theory. However, some experiments on Langmuir monolayers also show in-plane instability phenomena leading to the formation of the so-called shear bands and, to date, no theoretical description of the onset of shear banding bifurcation in monolayers has been yet provided. For this reason, by adopting a macroscopic description, we here study material stability of the monolayers and exploit an incremental approach to find the conditions that kindle shear bands. By starting from the widely assumed hypothesis that monolayers behave elastically in the solid-like region, a hyperfoam hyperelastic potential is introduced as a new constitutive strategy to trace back the nonlinear response of monolayer response during densification. In this way, the obtained mechanical properties together with the adopted strain energy are successfully employed to reproduce the onset of shear banding exhibited by some lipid systems under different conditions.

On derivation of Dresselhaus spin-splitting Hamiltonians in one-dimensional electron systems

description: Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor structures of materials without inversion center (e.g. zinc-blende ${\rm A^{III}B^V}$) possess the zero-field conduction band spin-splitting (Dresselhaus term), which is linear and cubic in wavevector $k$, that arises from cubic in $k$ splitting in a bulk material. At low carrier concentration the cubic term is usually negligible. However, if we will be interested in the following dimensional quantization (in 2D plane) and the character width in this direction is comparable with the width of 2D-structure, then we have to take into account $k^3$-terms as well (even at low concentrations), that after quantization leads to comparable contribution that arises from $k$-linear term. We propose the general procedure for derivation of Dresselhaus spin-splitting Hamiltonian applicable for any curvilinear 1D-structures. The simple examples for the cases of a quantum wire (QWr) and a quantum ring (QR) defined in usual [001]-grown 2D-structure are presented.

The role of phospholipase D1 in trafficking and processing of amyloid precursor protein

description: Growing evidence indicates that intracellular signaling lipids control the trafficking and processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) with major implications for pathological and behavioral manifestations associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). One such lipid is phosphatidic acid (PA), which mediates membrane trafficking and is produced by a variety of enzymes, including phospholipase D (PLD). We previously demonstrated that a PLD isoform, PLD2, is required for the synaptotoxic and memory-impairing actions of amyloid beta in an AD mouse model. The role that the other PLD isoform, PLD1, plays in AD is unclear, although cell culture studies from other groups have suggested it modulates the trafficking of APP and presenilin 1, the catalytic subunit of gamma secretase. Here, we investigate the role of PLD1 in the biology of APP as well as in an AD mouse model. We report that removing PLD1, unlike PLD2, causes a dramatic decrease in brain levels of PA, indicating that PLD1 is a major source of PA in the brain.  Additionally, removing PLD1 from primary neurons causes a redistribution of APP from endosomes, a primary station for amyloidogenesis, to the Golgi complex, while PLD1 overexpression produces the converse phenotype. Pld1 null mice harboring familial AD-linked (FAD) APP mutations exhibited decreased brain amyloid and an accumulation of APP COOH-terminal fragments. This finding was particularly evident in Pld1 null membrane rafts, whose lipidome was profoundly altered. Acute inhibition of PLD1 reduced APP processing by gamma secretase, consistent with a regulatory role of the lipid raft environment on gamma secretase, a complex highly active in membrane rafts. Finally, Pld1 nullizygosity rescued cognitive deficits in the transgenic model. Thus, PLD1 and its product PA control the metabolism of APP and emerge as potential drug targets for Alzheimer's disease therapy.
The Liberal Party of Australia as seen by Liberal backbenchers of the House of Representatives

description: As the title indicates. this study tries to find out how a group of Liberal backbenchers of the Federal Parliament envisage the Liberal Party. Behind this j of course, is the idea that their "images" of the Party will throw some light upon its nature. One might well ask at the outset why this somewhat round-about "hearsay" approach, instead of a more direct and objective one, should be used to investigate the nature of the Liberal Party. A more direct and comprehensive approach would try to deduce the nature of the party primarily from its objective machinery, membership and actions. It would study formal and actual policies and the objective characteristics of Liberal voters. It would attempt an analysis, in concrete situations, of power relations within the party, including the influence of particular personalities and interest groups. No doubt this would get one nearer to a rounded, objective analysis of the Liberal Party.
A living wage for women : the Clothing Trades case of 1919

description: During the period from 1907 to 1921 Mr Justice Higgins, in his capacity as President of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, delivered a number of judgements which were to have a significant influence on the process of wage fixation in Australia long after he resigned from the Presidency, The first, though it was not an arbitration case, was the so-called "Harvester" judgement in which he established the principle that the minimum or "living" wage for an unskilled male should be sufficient to enable him to support a family in "frugal comfort". At that time (1907) there was no assessment of what constituted an appropriate "living wage" for unskilled females as the issue did not arise. Subsequently, however, there were several opportunities in which it would have been possible to determine the female "living wage" but it was not until 1919 that this issue was finally resolved. The basis and circumstances of the "Harvester" judgement have received substantial academic attention. Of particular importance is the study, undertaken by P.G. McCarthy, which traced the development of the concept of a living wage in the Australian context and its ultimate expression as an "ideal" of seven shillings per day. McCarthy, however, was not able to determine with any certainty the basis of Higgins' decision in the Harvester case. This uncertainty as to Higgins' motivation is also applicable to his decision in the Clothing Trades case in 1919. This case has received little detailed analysis with most commentators relying on Higgins' printed judgement to explain the outcome. The sequence of cases leading up to the Clothing Trades case and the process by which Higgins reached his decision on the "living wage" for females are the subject of this thesis. The conclusion, however, is that the basis of Higgins' living wage award for females is no more certain than his award for males.

description: The origin of the anomalies is analyzed. It is shown that they are due to the fact that the generators of the symmetry do not leave invariant the domain of definition of the Hamiltonian and then a term, normally forgotten in the Heisenberg equation, gives an extra contribution responsible for the non conservation of the charges. This explanation is equivalent to that of the Fujikawa in the path integral formalism. Finally, this approach is applied to the conformal symmetry breaking in two-dimensional quantum mechanics.

description: Using the technique of point source atom interferometry, we characterize the sensitivity of a multi-axis gyroscope based on free-space Raman interrogation of a single source of cold atoms in a glass vacuum cell. The instrument simultaneously measures the acceleration in the direction of the Raman laser beams and the component of the rotation vector in the plane perpendicular to that direction. We characterize the sensitivities for the magnitude and direction of the rotation vector measurement, which are 0.033 $^{\circ}/\mathrm{s}$ and 0.27 $^{\circ}$ with one second averaging time, respectively. The sensitivity could be improved by increasing the Raman interrogation time, allowing the cold-atom cloud to expand further, correcting the fluctuations in the initial cloud shape, and reducing sources of technical noise. The unique ability of the PSI technique to measure the rotation vector in a plane may permit applications of atom interferometry such as tracking the precession of a rotation vector and gyrocompassing.

description: The traction evolution is a fundamental ingredient to model the dynamics of an earthquake rupture which ultimately controls, during the coseismic phase, the energy release, the stress redistribution and the consequent excitation of seismic waves. In the present paper we explore the use of the friction behavior derived from laboratory shear experiments performed on granular materials at low normal stress. We find that the rheological properties emerging from these laboratory experiments can not be described in terms of preexisting governing models already presented in literature; our results indicate that neither rate-and state-dependent friction laws nor nonlinear slip-dependent models, commonly adopted for modeling earthquake ruptures, are able to capture all the features of the experimental data. Then, by exploiting a novel numerical approach, we directly incorporate the laboratory data into a code to simulate the fully dynamic propagation of a 3-D slip failure. We demonstrate that the rheology of the granular material, imposed as fault boundary condition, is dynamically consistent. Indeed, it is able to reproduce the basic features of a crustal earthquake, spontaneously accelerating up to some terminal rupture speed, both sub- and supershear.

description: We present combined evolution of morphological and stellar properties of galaxies on the two sides of z=2 (2.02 to ~70% for z<2, compensating for the fall in population of pure discs and pure spheroids. All quiescent outliers of our full sample on the main-sequence, are 2-component systems, belonging to the lower redshift range (z<2). The doubling of stellar mass of 2-component systems and decrease in their SFR by the same factor, suggests that mechanisms involved in morphological transformations are also responsible for the quenching of their star formation activity. Interestingly, while there is substantial increase in the size (~2.5 times) and mass (~5 times) of pure discs, from z>2 to z<2, pure spheroids maintain roughly the same values. Additionally, while bulge hosting discs witness an expansion in scale length (~1.3 times), their bulge sizes as well as bulge to total light ratio see no evolution, suggesting that z~2 is pre-dominantly a disc formation period.

description: The statistical properties of a classical electromagnetic field in interaction with matter are numerically investigated on a one-dimensional model of a radiant cavity, conservative and with finite total energy. Our results suggest a trend towards equipartition of energy, with the relaxation times of the normal modes of the cavity increasing with the mode frequency according to a law, the form of which depends on the shape of the charge distribution.

description: The course of microbial infection in insects is shaped by a two-stage process of immune defense. Constitutive defenses, such as engulfment and melanization, act immediately and are followed by inducible defenses, archetypically the production of antimicrobial peptides, which eliminate or suppress the remaining microbes. By applying RNAseq across a 7-day time course, we sought to characterize the long-lasting immune response to bacterial challenge in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor, a model for the biochemistry of insect immunity and persistent bacterial infection. By annotating a hybrid de novo assembly of RNAseq data, we were able to identify putative orthologs for the majority of components of the conserved insect immune system. Compared with Tribolium castaneum, the most closely related species with a reference genome sequence and a manually curated immune system annotation, the T. molitor immune gene count was lower, with lineage-specific expansions of genes encoding serine proteases and their countervailing inhibitors accounting for the majority of the deficit. Quantitative mapping of RNAseq reads to the reference assembly showed that expression of genes with predicted functions in cellular immunity, wound healing, melanization, and the production of reactive oxygen species was transiently induced immediately after immune challenge. In contrast, expression of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides or components of the Toll signaling pathway and iron sequestration response remained elevated for at least 7 days. Numerous genes involved in metabolism and nutrient storage were repressed, indicating a possible cost of immune induction. Strikingly, the expression of almost all antibacterial peptides followed the same pattern of long-lasting induction, regardless of their spectra of activity, signaling possible interactive roles in vivo.

description: How do we learn to establish associations between arbitrary visual cues (like a red light) and movements (like braking the car)? We investigated the neural correlates of visuomotor association learning in the mid-lateral cerebellum. Although cerebellum has been considered to be a motor control center involved in monitoring and correcting the motor error through supervised learning, in this thesis, we show that its role can also be extended to non-motor learning. Specifically, when primates learned to associate arbitrary visual cues with well-learned stereotypic movements, the simple spikes of the mid-lateral cerebellar Purkinje cells reported the monkey’s most recent decision’s outcome during learning. The magnitude of this reinforcement error signal changed with learning, finally disappearing when the association had been overlearned. We modeled this change in neural activity through a drift diffusion-reinforcement learning based model. The concurrent complex spikes, contrary to traditional theories, did not play the role of teaching signal, but encoded the probability of error as a function of the state of learning. They also encoded features that indicate the beginning of a trial. Inactivating the mid-lateral cerebellum significantly affected the monkey’s learning performance while it did not affect motor performance. This is because the mid-lateral cerebellum is in a loop with other cognitive processing centers of the brain including the prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia. Finally, we verified that the features we identified in primate experiments can also be extended to humans, by studying the visuomotor association learning in humans through functional magnetic resonance imaging. In summary, through electrophysiological and causal experiments in monkeys, imaging in humans, computational models and an anatomical framework, we delineate mechanisms through which the cerebellum can be involved in reinforcement learning and specifically, learning new visuomotor associations.

description: Two relativistic models for collapsing spheres at different stages of evolution, which include pre-relaxation processes, are presented. The influence of relaxation time on the outcome of evolution in both cases is exhibited and established. It is shown that relaxation processes can drastically change the final state of the collapsing system. In particular, there are cases in which the value of the relaxation time determines the bounce or the collapse of the sphere.
