Year: 2016

description: This article’s primary aim is to target (§2) a new terminological fashion in European studies, which tends to extol the alleged role of myths in the narrative about the European Union. This operation however requires first to provide a sketch (§1) of the scenario of issues and problems in which the confusion concerning myths was allowed to come up, and also to mention the real questions contained or rather concealed in the discourse on myth.

description: The aim of this paper is to apply an original computation method due to Malesevic and Makragic [5] to the problem of approximating some trigonometric functions. Inequalities of Wilker-Cusa-Huygens are discussed, but the method can be successfully applied to a wide class of problems. In particular, we improve the estimates recently obtained by Mortici [1] and moreover we show that they hold true also on some extended intervals.

description: In 1977 Norbert Elias returned to Frankfurt am Main after 43 years in exile. I was a student then, having just arrived from Denmark to study philosophy and the Frankfurt tradition. It is my thesis that this particular seminar and interpretation culture from the 30’s had a decisive influence on Norbert Elias’ process-oriented sociology and civilisation theory. The way in which psychoanalytical experiences were combined with sociological themes, where the categories are reflected on a background of a fundamental philosophical knowledge, is a unique civilising interplay with roots in the city of Frankfurt.

description: Take $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ any normal Noetherian domain, either local or $\mathbb{N}$-graded over a field. We study the question of when $R$ satisfies the uniform symbolic topology property (USTP) of Huneke, Katz, and Validashti: namely, that there exists an integer $D>0$ such that for all prime ideals $P \subseteq R$, the symbolic power $P^{(Da)} \subseteq P^a$ for all $a >0$. Reinterpreting results of Lipman, we deduce that when $R$ is a two-dimensional rational singularity, then it satisfies the USTP. Emphasizing the non-regular setting, we produce explicit, effective multipliers $D$, working in two classes of surface singularities in equal characteristic over an algebraically closed field, using: (1) the volume of a parallelogram in $\mathbb{R}^2$ when $R$ is the coordinate ring of a simplicial toric surface; or (2) known invariants of du Val isolated singularities in characteristic zero due to Lipman.

description: Transcriptome analysis is an important approach to associate genotype with phenotype. The content and dynamics of eukaryotic transcriptome are far more complex than previously anticipated. Here we integrated high-throughput RNA-seq and paired-end method to conduct an unprecedentedly deep survey of transcription profile for cultivated rice, one of the oldest domesticated crops species and has since spread worldwide to become one of the major staple foods. Analysis of reads mapping revealed 4,244 previously uncharacterized transcripts, including a mass of protein-coding genes and putative functional non-coding RNA genes. Alignment of junction reads indicated over 42% of rice multiple-exon genes produce two or more distinct splicing isoforms. It’s intriguing that we identified 1,356 putative gene fusion events, indicating the 234 fusion gene produced by trans-splicing vastly increases the complexity of rice transcriptome, together with the pervasive alternative splicing events. Digital gene expression profiling revealed most rice duplicate genes were maintained by the selection constraint on gene dosages, which would increase the genetic robustness of rice to counteract deleterious mutationsKeywords: Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOverall design: mRNA expression of 8 independent rice tissues was determined by method of RNA-Seq using short reads from high throughput sequencing technology. Meanwhile small RNA populations from mixture solution pooled from total RNA of each 8 tissues were also sequenced.

description: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage remains low in the USA. The Society for Behavioral Medicine (SBM) supports the goals outlined by Healthy People 2020, the President's Cancer Panel, and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee to increase vaccination coverage among both males and females. SBM makes the following recommendations in support of efforts to reduce structural and other barriers to HPV vaccination services in order to increase rates of series completion. We encourage legislators and other policymakers to improve administration authority, insurance coverage, and reimbursement rates to healthcare providers who make the HPV vaccine available to adolescents; provide instrumental support to fund the development of school curricula on HPV vaccination; and increase public awareness that HPV vaccination can prevent cancer. We urge healthcare providers and healthcare systems to increase the strength, quality, and consistency of HPV vaccination recommendations for all eligible patients; to treat HPV vaccination as a routine preventive service; employ culturally appropriate communication strategies in clinical settings to educate eligible patients, parents, and guardians about the importance, effectiveness, and safety of HPV vaccination; and to strengthen and better coordinate the use of electronic medical records and immunization information systems.

description: DNA methylation plays a vital role in genome dynamics and, in the human genome, occurs predominantly at cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites. The diploid haploid human genome analysed here contains around 2060 million CpG sites (methylome) where DNA methylation can vary, affecting many biological processes in health and disease. Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, we report the essentially complete (92.6282%) methylome of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) which constitute an important source for clinical blood tests world-wide. We find the majority of CpG sites (68.4% at false positive rate of 0.46%) and only 80% displayed allele-specific expression (ASE) after random testing using TA clone sequencing of the same PBMC sample. These data show, that ASM is a recurrent phenomenon and highly correlated with ASE, suggesting that imprinting may be more common than previously thought. Our study not only provides a comprehensive resource for future epigenomic research but also demonstrates a paradigm of large-scale epigenomics studies through new sequencing technology.Overall design: We report the essentially complete (92.6282%) methylome of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) which constitute an important source for clinical blood tests world-wide.

title: Exclusive Observables to NLO and Low x PDF Phenomenology at the LHC
Creators: name: Flett, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: At present, the Parton Distribution Functions~(PDFs) for the quarks and gluons of QCD extracted in global fitting analyses suffer from large uncertainties, particularly at low $x$ and low scales. This is mainly a reflection of the lack of experimental data constraints in this kinematical regime. In this thesis, due to its enhanced sensitivity to the gluon PDF, we will study the exclusive production of heavy vector mesons $V$, measured recently in ultra peripheral $pp$ collisions at the LHC, $pp \rightarrow p\,+\,V\,+\,p$, as a means to reliably constrain, probe and determine the gluon PDF in the very low $x$ domain. With the advent of new and improved colliders on the horizon, PDF phenomenology is becoming more and more important at low $x$ as particle collision energies increase. The data for the exclusive production of the $J/\psi$ meson from LHCb, specifically, will be promoted as being at the frontier of new low $x$ and low scale gluon PDF constraints, providing the driving force in allowing this kinematic regime to start, and ultimately become, an area of precision physics. Using a fully furnished prediction for exclusive $J/\psi$ photoproduction within the collinear factorisation framework at NLO, a low $x \sim 10^{-5}$ and low scale $\mu^2 \sim 2.4\,\text{GeV}^2$ gluon PDF is obtained within a statistical reweighting framework using existing HERA and LHC exclusive data. The significance of this result for low $x$ global gluon PDF extractions is quantified. Finally, we build and use a computational workhorse to extract the exclusive {\it electro} production of heavy vector mesons to NLO in collinear factorisation. This completes the $Q^2$ phase space for this observable and provides a calculation that is on solid grounds with regards to the applicability of the factorisation ansatz.

description: In the presence of extrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we find that silicene can host a new quantum anomalous Hall state with spin- and valley-polarized edge states, which can be effectively controlled by the exchange field and electric field. In this new state, the pair of nontrivial edge states reside in one specific valley and have a strong but opposite spin polarization. A distinctive feature of this new state is that both of the spin and valley index of the edge states can be switched by reversing the electric field. We also present a microscopic mechanism for the origination of the new state. Our findings provide an efficient way to control the topologically protected spin- and valley-polarized edge states, which is crucial for spintronics and valleytronics.

description: In social species, individuals may be able to overcome competitive constraints on cooperation by leveraging relationships with familiar, tolerant partners. While strong social ties have been linked to cooperation in several social mammals, it is unclear the extent to which weak social ties can support cooperation, particularly among non-kin. We tested the hypothesis that weakly affiliative social relationships support cooperative coalition formation using 10 years of behavioural data on wild female chimpanzees. Female chimpanzees typically disperse and reside with non-kin as adults. Their social relationships are differentiated but often relatively weak, with few dyads sharing strong bonds. Females occasionally form aggressive coalitions together. Three measures of relationship quality—party association, five-metre proximity and whether a dyad groomed—positively predicted coalitions, indicating that relationship quality influenced coalition partnerships. However, dyads that groomed frequently did not form more coalitions than dyads that groomed occasionally, and kin did not cooperate more than expected given their relationship quality. Thus, strong bonds and kinship did not bolster cooperation. We conclude that cooperative coalitions among female chimpanzees depend on social tolerance but do not require strong bonds. Our findings highlight social tolerance as a distinct pathway through which females can cultivate cooperative relationships.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cooperation among women: evolutionary and cross-cultural perspectives’.
Horse-riding in the Light of the Civilising Process: An Example in France
Creators: name: Régnier, Patrice
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: Humans have had a wide range of relationships with the horse dating back to the Neolithic period. Initially, horses were important for utilitarian purposes including the food and sustenance they provided and more generally contributed to human progress. During the Feudal period only future knights – and later the nobles, were allowed to ride horses, which were used in battle (Legoff 2008). The evolution of horse-riding during the Renaissance is typical of what Elias discusses as part of the civilising process. Within the context of the king’s court horse-riding became more precise and technical during periods of non-war and was eventually transformed from military use into sports (Elias and Dunning 1986). Once horses were no longer the preserve of the army, and were being used by the general population, horse-riding quickly developed. Indeed, horse-riding even became popular with women although restrictions on their access to competitions remained.

description: We study the dynamics of particles in a multi-component 2d Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid in the limiting case where {\it all the particles are different} (APD). The equilibrium properties of this APD system were studied in our earlier work [J.~Chem.~Phys.~142, 051104]. We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the statistical properties of particle trajectories in a temperature range covering both normal and supercooled fluid states. We calculate the mean-square displacement as well as angle, displacement and waiting time distributions, and compare the results with those for one-component LJ fluid. As temperature is lowered, the dynamics of the APD system becomes increasingly complex, as the intrinsic difference between the particles is amplified by neighborhood identity ordering and by the heterogeneous structure of the supercooled state.

description: In his 1982 paper, Ogus defined a class of cycles in the de Rham cohomology of smooth proper varieties over number fields. This notion is a crystalline analogue of $\ell$-adic Tate cycles. In the case of abelian varieties, this class includes all the Hodge cycles by the work of Deligne, Ogus, and Blasius. Ogus predicted that such cycles coincide with Hodge cycles for abelian varieties. In this paper, we confirm Ogus' prediction for some families of abelian varieties. These families include abelian varieties that have both prime dimension and nontrivial endomorphism ring. The proof is based on a crystalline analogue of Faltings' isogeny theorem due to Bost and the known cases of the Mumford--Tate conjecture.

description: Combining and analyzing data from heterogeneous randomized controlled trials of complex multiple-component intervention studies, or discussing them in a systematic review, is not straightforward. The present article describes certain issues to be considered when combining data across studies, based on discussions in an NIH-sponsored workshop on pooling issues across studies in consortia (see Belle et al. in Psychol Aging, 18(3):396-405, 2003). Several statistical methodologies are described and their advantages and limitations are explored. Whether weighting the different studies data differently, or via employing random effects, one must recognize that different pooling methodologies may yield different results. Pooling can be used for comprehensive exploratory analyses of data from RCTs and should not be viewed as replacing the standard analysis plan for each study. Pooling may help to identify intervention components that may be more effective especially for subsets of participants with certain behavioral characteristics. Pooling, when supported by statistical tests, can allow exploratory investigation of potential hypotheses and for the design of future interventions.

description: Few surveillance tools exist for monitoring tanning bed injuries. Twitter data were examined to identify and describe reports of tanning bed-caused burns. Tweets sent in 2013 containing keywords for tanning bed use and burning were content analyzed to determine whether a burn caused by a tanning bed was described, and additional data on tanning behavior and burn characteristics were extracted. After content assessment, 15,178 (64 %) tweets were found to describe a tanning bed-caused burn. Sites most reportedly burnt were buttocks (n = 3117), face/head (n = 1020), and chest/breast (n = 546). Alarmingly, 200 burns to the eyes/eyelids were mentioned. A total of 456 tweets described burning >1 time from a tanning bed. A total of 211 tweets mentioned falling asleep inside the tanning bed. In 2013, over 15,000 tweets reported tanning bed-caused burns. Twitter data provides unique insight into tanning behaviors and injuries not captured through traditional public health surveillance.

description: We sequenced the DNA from tuber of potato DM 1-3 516 R44 and assembled the genome using SOAPdenovo. DM 1-3 516 R44 resulted from chromosome doubling of a monoploid derived by anther culture of a heterozygous diploid clone PI 225669 selected from the long-day adapted population of S. tuberosum Phureja and Stenotomum Groups.Potato belongs to the Asterid clade of Eudicot plants that represent ~25% of flowering plant species and from which a complete genome sequence is not yet published. Its worldwide importance, especially within the developing world, is growing rapidly with production in 2009 reaching 330 million tons. The tubers are a globally important dietary source of starch, protein, antioxidants, and vitamins, serving the plant as both a storage organ and vegetative propagation system. Despite their importance, the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms that lead to the initiation and growth of tubers remain elusive.The cultivated potato is considered to have a narrow genetic base resulting originally from limited germplasm introduction to Europe. Most potato cultivars are autotetraploid (2n=4x=48), highly heterozygous, suffer acute inbreeding depression, and are susceptible to many devastating pests and pathogens. To explore potato genome structure and organisation, nuclear and organellar genomes of DM potato variety have been sequenced employing a whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) approach, assembled using SOAPdenovo.

description: We conduct a series of comparisons between spectroscopic and photometric observations of globular clusters and stellar models to examine their predictive power. Data from medium-to-high resolution spectroscopic surveys of lithium allow us to investigate first dredge-up and extra mixing in two clusters well separated in metallicity. Abundances at first dredge-up are satisfactorily reproduced but there is preliminary evidence to suggest that the models overestimate the luminosity at which the surface composition first changes in the lowest-metallicity system. Our models also begin extra mixing at luminosities that are too high, demonstrating a significant discrepancy with observations at low metallicity. We model the abundance changes during extra mixing as a thermohaline process and determine that the usual diffusive form of this mechanism cannot simultaneously reproduce both the carbon and lithium observations. Hubble Space Telescope photometry provides turnoff and bump magnitudes in a large number of globular clusters and offers the opportunity to better test stellar modelling as function of metallicity. We directly compare the predicted main-sequence turn-off and bump magnitudes as well as the distance-independent parameter $ΔM_V ~^{\rm{MSTO}}_{\rm{bump}}$. We require 15 Gyr isochrones to match the main-sequence turn-off magnitude in some clusters and cannot match the bump in low-metallicity systems. Changes to the distance modulus, metallicity scale and bolometric corrections may impact on the direct comparisons but $ΔM_V ~^{\rm{MSTO}}_{\rm{bump}}$, which is also underestimated from the models, can only be improved through changes to the input physics. Overshooting at the base of the convective envelope with an efficiency that is metallicity dependent is required to reproduce the empirically determined value of $ΔM_V ~^{\rm{MSTO}}_{\rm{bump}}$.

description: A fundamental ability of an intelligent web-based agent is seeking out and acquiring new information. Internet search engines reliably find the correct vicinity but the top results may be a few links away from the desired target. A complementary approach is navigation via hyperlinks, employing a policy that comprehends local content and selects a link that moves it closer to the target. In this paper, we show that behavioral cloning of randomly sampled trajectories is sufficient to learn an effective link selection policy. We demonstrate the approach on a graph version of Wikipedia with 38M nodes and 387M edges. The model is able to efficiently navigate between nodes 5 and 20 steps apart 96% and 92% of the time, respectively. We then use the resulting embeddings and policy in downstream fact verification and question answering tasks where, in combination with basic TF-IDF search and ranking methods, they are competitive results to the state-of-the-art methods.

Interestingly, the classical current noise term has the same structure as its quantum analog which reflects a charge correlation due to the bridging molecule. We further determine the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) which defines a bound on the relationship between the average charge current, its fluctuation and the entropy production in an electrochemical junction in the Marcus regime. In a second part, we use the same methodology to calculate the current noise and the TUR for a protoype photovoltaic cell in order to predict its upper bound for the efficiency of energy conversion into useful work.

description: This dissertation assesses the relationship between clerics and Scandinavian-influenced laity in the Irish Sea area through the placement of furnished graves at or near ecclesiastical sites in the ninth to the eleventh centuries. Negotiations were made between both parties to establish power, wealth, and status, amid a backdrop of political upheaval. Other areas of funerary studies have moved beyond a dichotomy of Christianity and paganism and into an acknowledgement of there being multifaceted practices. Yet, statements regarding Viking Age furnished graves in or near ecclesiastical sites are still not as pervasively open to this line of thinking. To bridge this gap in the field, the thesis first delves into the context of burial practices through the study of lay laws, ecclesiastical laws, letters, charters, wills, homilies, poems, and supporting archaeological evidence. Then, each area – eastern (southwest Scotland and northwest England), central (Isle of Man), and western (Ireland and Northern Ireland) – is described in detail using sources from numerous disciplines, including archaeology, texts, place-names, sculpture, linguistics, and geography. Each ecclesiastical site and furnished grave is examined to understand the potential context into which the furnished grave was placed and to appraise the relationship between the furnished grave and the other graves and features of the ecclesiastical site. The characteristics of the furnished graves and the ecclesiastical sites are analysed and assessed to identify any trends across the Irish Sea regions and any unique circumstances that led to local variances. Viking Age furnished graves can be seen as an acceptable variation among an array of burial practices, and the relationship between the clergy and laity is far more complex and closely tied than has been portrayed. Rather than being passive participants in the burial process dictated by their superiors, local clergy and laity became their own powers that be in determining what was acceptable and how to bury the dead.

description: The damping $α$ of the spinwave resonances in 75 nm, 120 nm, and 200nm -thick Permalloy films is measured via vector-network-analyzer ferromagnetic-resonance (VNA-FMR) in the out-of-plane geometry. Inductive coupling between the sample and the waveguide leads to an additional radiative damping term. The radiative contribution to the over-all damping is determined by measuring perpendicular standing spin waves (PSSWs) in the Permalloy films, and the results are compared to a simple analytical model. The damping of the PSSWs can be fully explained by three contributions to the damping: The intrinsic damping, the eddy-current damping, and the radiative damping. No other contributions were observed. Furthermore, a method to determine the radiative damping in FMR measurements with a single resonance is suggested.

Imparando da Winston Parva. Il contributo di Norbert Elias allo studio dell'integrazione degli immigrati

description: Unlike most of the work about integration, based on the centrality of cultural or economic differences, the figuration of Elias suggests to analyze power differences between social groups (established and outsider) on the basis of more or less sociological seniority. In particular, the ability of groups with greater seniority to mantein the dominance over newcomers. This paper analyzes, in relation to the study of integration today, the three main methods used by the established in Winston Parva: the symbolic power and the stigma; the stereotypes and the gossip; the memory of social group. The paper show then how these dynamics are also present in the industrial district of Prato, which was characterized in recent years by flows of migrants.

title: The transition towards a circular economy in developing countries: A firm-level perspective

description: This thesis is one of several efforts that have been put into tackling the environmental risks amid pressurising economic demand that never rests. Aiming to answer the main research question of: “How do firms in developing countries make a transition towards Circular Economy?”, this thesis adopts an exploratory mixed-method approach, comprising four studies. The four studies are systematic literature review, qualitative study, quantitative game theory modelling and quantitative empirical study. The total four studies are delivered to address well-rounded understandings on the transition towards circular economy for firms in developing countries, qualitatively, conceptually and to verify empirically on firms’ productivity. The findings of this thesis provide guidance for firms making the transition towards circular economy, and for the government supporting the transition. The vital role of government in supporting the circular economy as a new approach for sustainable growth is also raised. The need for trust, social capital to form circular economy cooperation/ecosystem is validated. The deduction that circular economy adoption brings benefits of varying magnitudes to each agent and no one loses, and that the circularity positively affects the firms’ productivity but with different magnitude of effects across sectors are justified. This thesis also indicates that circular economy firms theoretically are more resilient to global shocks, and a circular economy could be a new model for resilient and sustainable economic growth by rerouting the industries business models into circular business models. This thesis as well underlines the open paradigm of circular economy that is non-restrictive and adaptable to the social and ecological environment depending on the availability of resources (low-tech to high-tech) and markets (small to large), making circular economy approach, theoretically, is effective to improve productivity sustainably with limited resources available as in developing economies. This makes circular economy may provide a gateway for developing countries to make the leap towards a green and sustainable economic growth.

description: A dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model for neutrino-nucleon reactions in the resonance region is developed. Starting from the DCC model that we have previously developed through an analysis of $πN, γN\to πN, ηN, KΛ, KΣ$ reaction data for $W\le 2.1$ GeV, we extend the model of the vector current to $Q^2\le$ 3.0 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ by analyzing electron-induced reaction data for both proton and neutron targets. We derive axial-current matrix elements that are related to the $πN$ interactions of the DCC model through the Partially Conserved Axial Current (PCAC) relation. Consequently, the interference pattern between resonant and non-resonant amplitudes is uniquely determined. We calculate cross sections for neutrino-induced meson productions, and compare them with available data. Our result for the single-pion production reasonably agrees with the data. We also make a comparison with the double-pion production data. Our model is the first DCC model that can give the double-pion production cross sections in the resonance region. We also make comparison of our result with other existing models to reveal an importance of testing the models in the light of PCAC and electron reaction data. The DCC model developed here will be a useful input for constructing a neutrino-nucleus reaction model and a neutrino event generator for analyses of neutrino experiments.

description: New transition zones are emerging with various shapes and compositions between urban centers and remote areas: from the memorable examples of Chicago in the early twentieth century to the widespread urbanization of many areas of central and northern Italy. Production processes and global connections bringing cities and regions into the flow of cultural and economic change grow there. The study of Prato – examined from an ethnographic and typically urban perspective - aims to shed light a) on the current transformation of urban and social fabric long characterized by mixité between work time and free time and between industrial space and residential space; b) on the perception of safety; c) on the dynamics of segregation and denial of the city; d) on the possible interpretations of space and everyday life.

description: Patient-centered health risk assessments (HRAs) that screen for unhealthy behaviors, prioritize concerns, and provide feedback may improve counseling, goal setting, and health. To evaluate the effectiveness of routinely administering a patient-centered HRA, My Own Health Report, for diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, drug use, stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep, 18 primary care practices were randomized to ask patients to complete My Own Health Report (MOHR) before an office visit (intervention) or continue usual care (control). Intervention practice patients were more likely than control practice patients to be asked about each of eight risks (range of differences 5.3-15.8 %, p < 0.001), set goals for six risks (range of differences 3.8-16.6 %, p < 0.01), and improve five risks (range of differences 5.4-13.6 %, p < 0.01). Compared to controls, intervention patients felt clinicians cared more for them and showed more interest in their concerns. Patient-centered health risk assessments improve screening and goal setting.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01825746.

description: Leptochilus evrardii (Tardieu) Liang Zhang & Li Bing Zhang, comb. nov.
 Basionym: Colysis evrardii Tardieu (1940: 372).
 Type:— VIETNAM. Lam Dong Province: Dalat, 17 December 1924, Evrard 2250 (lectotype P-00709509!; here designated).
 Notes:—When Colysis evrardii was published, both Evrard 2250 and Evrard 1921 were cited without designating its type. This fern is similar to Leptochilus decurrens Blume (1828: 206), but differs from the latter in having narrower sterile leaves and wider fertile leaves. It is also similar to Colysis diversifolia W.M. Zhu (1979: 93) and Leptochilus ×beddomei (Manickam & Irudayaraj 1997: 267) X.C. Zhang & Nooteboom (2013: 834) in having narrowly lanceolate fertile leaves with interrupted sori. However, the large leaves of L. evrardii are sterile, while the large leaves of Colysis diversifolia and Leptochilus ×beddomei often have irregularly scattered sori.
 The species was resolved as a member of the Colysis clade (Zhang et al. 2018), and is most closely related to L. decurrens.
