description: Background RTS,S/AS01, the leading malaria vaccine has been recommended by the WHO for widespread immunization of children at risk. RTS,S/AS01-induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies are associated with the vaccine efficacy. Here, the long-term kinetics of RTS,S/AS01-induced antibodies was investigated. Methods 150 participants were randomly selected from the 447 children who participated in the RTS,S/AS01 phase IIb clinical trial in 2007 from Kilifi-Kenya. Cumulatively, the retrospective follow-up period was 93 months with annual plasma samples collection. The levels of anti-CSP IgM, total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 antibodies were then determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results RTS,S/AS01 induced high levels of anti-CSP IgG antibodies which exhibited a rapid waning over 6.5 months post-vaccination, followed by a slower decay over the subsequent years. RTS,S/AS01-induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies remained elevated above the control group levels throughout the 7 years follow-up period. The anti-CSP IgG antibodies were mostly IgG1, IgG3, IgG2, and to a lesser extent IgG4. IgG2 predominated in later timepoints. RTS,S/AS01 also induced high levels of anti-CSP IgM antibodies which increased above the control group levels by month 3. The controls exhibited increasing levels of the anti-CSP IgM antibodies which caught up with the RTS,S/AS01 vaccinees levels by month 21. In contrast, there were no measurable anti-CSP IgG antibodies among the controls. Conclusion RTS,S/AS01-induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies kinetics are consistent with long-lived but waning vaccine efficacy. Natural exposure induces anti-CSP IgM antibodies in children, which increases with age, but does not induce substantial levels of anti-CSP IgG antibodies.

description: We have studied the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in the layered ferromagnetic insulators CrSiTe$_3$ and CrGeTe$_3$ covered by Pt films in the measurement configuration where spin current traverses the ferromagnetic Cr layers. The LSSE response is clearly observed in the ferromagnetic phase and, in contrast to a standard LSSE magnet Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$, persists above the critical temperatures in both CrSiTe$_3$/Pt and CrGeTe$_3$/Pt samples. With the help of a numerical calculation, we attribute the LSSE signals observed in the paramagnetic regime to exchange-dominated interlayer transport of in-plane paramagnetic moments reinforced by short-range ferromagnetic correlations and strong Zeeman effects.

description: We present a new numerical code designed to solve the Einstein field equations for axisymmetric spacetimes. The long term goal of this project is to construct a code that will be capable of studying many problems of interest in axisymmetry, including gravitational collapse, critical phenomena, investigations of cosmic censorship, and head-on black hole collisions. Our objective here is to detail the (2+1)+1 formalism we use to arrive at the corresponding system of equations and the numerical methods we use to solve them. We are able to obtain stable evolution, despite the singular nature of the coordinate system on the axis, by enforcing appropriate regularity conditions on all variables and by adding numerical dissipation to hyperbolic equations.

description: We describe a method for programming the autonomous navigation of active colloidal particles in response to spatial gradients in a scalar stimulus. Functional behaviors such as positive or negative chemotaxis are encoded in the particle shape, which responds to the local stimulus and directs self-propelled particle motions. We demonstrate this approach using a physical model of stimuli-responsive clusters of self-phoretic spheres. We show how multiple autonomous behaviors can be achieved by designing the particle geometry and its stimulus response.

description: Yunnan Province is the bridgehead for the opening of the southwest region in China, and the economic frontier of China-ASEAN economic cooperation, where the export of agricultural products plays an important role in promoting the openness of the southwest region and strengthening China-ASEAN economic cooperation. In this paper, we use CMS model to analyze causes of the increase in the exports of agricultural products in Yunnan Province during the period 2001-2010. It is found that the expanded import scale of agricultural products in the world, improvement in the export competitiveness of products and the adaption of product export structure to the changes in the structure of world import demand, are the main factors responsible for increase in the exports of agricultural products in Yunnan Province. In recent years, the improvement of competitiveness of the export of agricultural products becomes a key factor for the growth of the export of agricultural products in Yunnan Province. In terms of the products classified, strong export competitiveness has promoted the export of plant products, such as beverages and tobacco, while weak export competitiveness and unreasonable export structure has impeded the export of animal products, plant and animal oil and fat products.

description: Στα μεσαία μήκη κύματος, ιδίως μεταξύ 8 και 13 μm, η ατμόσφαιρα της Γης είναι εξαιρετικά διαφανής στην ηλεκτρομαγνητική ακτινοβολία. Αυτό το εύρος μήκους κύματος συμπίπτει με το μέγιστο μήκος κύματος της θερμικής ακτινοβολίας από επίγειες δομές σε τυπικές θερμοκρασίες περιβάλλοντος. Ενώ ιστορικά η ακτινοβολία ψύξης αναπτύχθηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό για νυχτερινές εφαρμογές πρόσφατες εργασίες έχουν επιτύχει την ακτινοβολία ψύξης κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας. Συγκεκριμένα, αποδείχθηκε ότι μπορεί να επιτευχθεί η ακτινοβολία ψύξης κάτω από τη θερμοκρασία του αέρα περιβάλλοντος, με μια φωτονική δομή που αντανακλά σχεδόν όλο το προσπίπτον φως του ήλιου και ταυτόχρονα εκπέμπει σημαντική θερμική ακτινοβολία. Μια τέτοια δομή, που είναι σχεδόν τέλειος ηλιακός ανακλαστήρας, δεν κάνει χρήση του προσπίπτοντος ηλιακού φωτός.
Οι βασικές αρχές της ακτινοβολούμενης ψύξης είναι η σχεδόν τέλεια ανάκλαση στο ορατό φάσμα και κοντά στο υπέρυθρο φάσμα (0,3–3 μm) και η υψηλή θερμική εκπομπή στην περιοχή του υπέρυθρου ατμοσφαιρικού παραθύρου (8-13 μm). Με βάση αυτές τις δύο βασικές αρχές, έχουν διεξαχθεί μελέτες με τη χρήση διαφόρων υλικών και δομών για να βρεθεί το πιο αποτελεσματικό σύστημα ακτινοβολούμενης ψύξης. Σε αυτή την εργασία σχεδιάστηκαν έξι διαφορετικές φωτονικές δομές που μπορούν να ψύξουν μία επιφάνεια πάνω από την οποία είναι τοποθετημένες. Η κάθε δομή σχεδιάστηκε με διαφορετικά υλικά και πάχη με σκοπό να διεξαχθούν συμπεράσματα και να αποφασιστεί ποια είναι πιο αποτελεσματική.

description: In mid-wavelengths, especially between 8 and 13 μm, the atmosphere of the Earth is extremely transparent in electromagnetic radiation. This wavelength range coincides with the maximum wavelength of thermal radiation from terrestrial structures at typical ambient temperatures. While historically radiative cooling developed to a large extent for night applications, recent work has achieved radiative cooling during the day. In particular, it has been shown that radiative cooling can be achieved under the ambient air temperature, with a photonic structure that reflects almost all the incident sunlight and simultaneously emits significant thermal radiation. Such a structure, which is almost perfect solar reflector, doesn’t make use of incident solar light.
The basic principles of radiative cooling are the almost perfect reflection in the visible spectrum and close to the infrared spectrum (0.3–3 microns) and the high thermal emission in the area of the infrared atmospheric window (8-13 microns). Based on these two basic principles, studies have been conducted using various materials and structures to find the most effective radiant cooling system. In this study, six different photonic structures were designed that can cool a surface which they are placed. Each structure was designed with different materials and thicknesses in order to draw conclusions and decide which is most effective.

description: Aaron Klug made outstanding contributions to the development of structural molecular biology. An early interest in viruses, stemming from work with Rosalind Franklin, prompted him to think deeply about extracting the information contained in electron micrographs. As a result, he proposed a method for making three-dimensional maps of biological specimens from the projected images given by micrographs. For this development and its application to complex molecular assemblies, he was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The recent revolution in biological structure determination, whereby atomic structures can now be determined from micrographs of frozen hydrated specimens, derives from this initial breakthrough. With colleagues, Aaron applied X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy to determine the structures and thereby understand the functions of many biological assemblies, including viruses, transfer RNA, chromatin and zinc fingers. He also made important forays into the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Aaron was director of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge from 1986 to 1996 and President of the Royal Society from 1995 to 2000.

description: Dyakonov surface waves are a well-known example of surface electromagnetic waves propagating along a plane interface between isotropic and anisotropic dielectric media. Here, we investigate the spectrum and radiative losses of Dyakonov waves at the curved interface considering both cases of "positive" and "negative" curvature of anisotropic medium. We demonstrate how Dyakonov waves at a plane interface continuously transform to the leaky or guided modes of an anisotropic cylindrical waveguide and simple derive asymptotic equation for radiative losses. All analytical results are confirmed by solving exact dispersion equation numerically. We believe that our work extends the potential practical application of Dyakonov waves in optics and photonics devices.

description: The Annulated Treeboa (Corallus annulatus; Figs. 1–4) is one of nine currently recognized species in the boid genus Corallus (Henderson et al. 2009). Its disjunct range extends from eastern Guatemala into northern Honduras, southeastern Nicaragua, northeastern Costa Rica, and southwestern Panama to northern Colombia west of the Andes (Henderson et al. 2001, McCranie 2010). It is the only species of Corallus found on the Caribbean versant of Costa Rica, where it occurs at elevations to at least 650 m and perhaps as high as 1,000 m (Solórzano 2004). Corallus annulatus occurs mostly in primary and secondary lowland tropical wet and moist rainforest (Holdridge 1967) and it appears to be genuinely rare (Henderson et al. 2001). Besides C. cropanii and C. blombergi (the latter closely related to C. annulatus), it is the rarest member of the genus. Aside from information on habitat and activity, little is known regarding its natural history. In November 2001, a herpetological investigation at Caño Palma Biological Station, Tortuguero, in northeastern Costa Rica (Figs. 5 & 6) discovered the presence of C. annulatus from a single preserved specimen held at the biological station. Further surveys in the area detected the species in Manicaria swamp forest (Lewis et al. 2010) that apparently held locally common populations of the snake (Fig. 7). Further inventory and abundance surveys over the next ten years resulted in some preliminary morphometric and ecological data on C. annulatus.

Numerical tests of dynamical friction in gravitational inhomogeneous systems

description: In this paper, I test by numerical simulations the results of Del Popolo & Gambera (1998),dealing with the extension of Chandrasekhar and von Neumann's analysis of the statistics of the gravitational field to systems in which particles (e.g., stars, galaxies) are inhomogeneously distributed. The paper is an extension of that of Ahmad & Cohen (1974), in which the authors tested some results of the stochastic theory of dynamical friction developed by Chandrasekhar & von Neumann (1943) in the case of homogeneous gravitational systems. It is also a continuation of the work developed in Del Popolo (1996a,b), which extended the results of Ahmad & Cohen (1973), (dealing with the study of the probability distribution of the stochastic force in homogeneous gravitational systems) to inhomogeneous gravitational systems. Similarly to what was done by Ahmad & Cohen (1974) in the case of homogeneous systems, I test, by means of the evolution of an inhomogeneous system of particles, that the theoretical rate of force fluctuation d F/dt describes correctly the experimental one, I find that the stochastic force distribution obtained for the evolved system is in good agreement with the Del Popolo & Gambera (1998) theory. Moreover, in an inhomogeneous background the friction force is actually enhanced relative to the homogeneous case.

description: As a major agricultural province, Yunnan has always attached great importance to food production, and the proportion of the growing area of food crops to the growing area of total crops is more than one half in Yunnan Province, but the grain production efficiency has been low in recent years. Therefore, under the guidance of stabilizing food production and adjusting structure proposed by Yunnan provincial government, we analyze the impact of the growing area of food crops on farmers' income, based on the recent trends of the growing area of food crops. Finally we put forth the following recommendations: developing the food production based on market; rationally making overall arrangement of planting structure; paying attention to the agricultural science and technology progress.

Classical Boundary-value Problem in Riemannian Quantum Gravity and Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter Geometries

description: For an $SU(2)\times U(1)$-invariant $S^3$ boundary the classical Dirichlet problem of Riemannian quantum gravity is studied for positive-definite regular solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant within biaxial Bianchi-IX metrics containing bolts, i.e., within the family of Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter (Taub-Bolt-AdS) metrics. Such metrics are obtained from the two-parameter Taub-NUT-anti-de Sitter family. The condition of regularity requires them to have only one free parameter ($L$) and constrains $L$ to take values within a narrow range; the other parameter is determined as a double-valued function of $L$ and hence there is a bifurcation within the family. We found that {\it{any}} axially symmetric $S^3$-boundary can be filled in with at least one solution coming from each of these two branches despite the severe limit on the permissible values of $L$. The number of infilling solutions can be one, three or five and they appear or disappear catastrophically in pairs as the values of the two radii of $S^3$ are varied. The solutions occur simultaneously in both branches and hence the total number of independent infillings is two, six or ten. We further showed that when the two radii are of the same order and large the number of solutions is two. In the isotropic limit this holds for small radii as well. These results are to be contrasted with the one-parameter self-dual Taub-NUT-AdS infilling solutions of the same boundary-value problem studied previously.

description: We study magnetic, transport and thermal properties of Cobalt carbide nanocomposite with a mixture of Co2C and Co3C phases in 1:1 ratio, with an average particle diameter of 40$\pm 15$ nm. We show that the behavior of the nanocomposite is completely different from that of either Co3C or Co2C. We observed that with decreasing temperature the saturation magnetization MS(T) increases, however, below 100 K, there is a steep rise. A detail analysis shows the increase in MS(T) down to 100 K is explained via the surface spin freezing model. However, below 100 K the steep increase in MS(T) is explained by a finite size effect related to a confinement of spin waves within the nano particles. The measurement of heat capacity shows broad peak at 100 K along with presence of another anomaly at a lower temperature 43 K(=Tex). Resistance measurement in the nanocomposite shows metallic behavior at high T with an unusual anomaly appearing at Tex, which is near the T regime where MS(T) begins to increase steeply. A measurement of the temperature gradients across the sample thickness indicates an abrupt change in thermal conductivity at Tex which suggests a phase transition at Tex. Our results are explained in terms of a transformation from a magnetically coupled state with a continuous spectrum of spin waves into a magnetically decoupled state below 100 K with confined spin waves.

description: The Yakutsk array observes the Cherenkov light emitted by UHECR in atmosphere. Recently, an autonomous subarray is added consisting of photomultipliers to measure the showers in the knee region. Our aim is to analyze the combined data set in order to derive the cosmic ray spectrum in the energy range as wide as possible using the same technique. The advantage of the air Cherenkov light measurement is the model independent estimation of the EAS primary energy using the total light flux emitted in the atmosphere. A set of the light lateral distributions observed in the extended energy range is presented also.

description: Multi-band near-infrared images of twelve BL Lacertae objects were obtained with the 2.5m telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in order to determine the properties of their underlying host galaxies. Resolved emission was clearly detected in eight of the lowest redshift targets (up to z~0.3), and was modeled with a de Vaucouleurs r^{1/4} surface brightness law. We find that the morphologies match the elliptical galaxy profiles well, and that the BL Lac objects reside in large and luminous, but otherwise normal hosts -- consistent with previous studies done predominantly at optical wavelengths. The median absolute K-band magnitude of the galaxies in this study is -26.2, the average half-light radius is 4.2 +/- 2.3 kpc, and their average integrated R-K color is 2.7 +/- 0.3 mag. These are well within the range of values measured previously in the H-band by Kotilainen et al. and Scarpa et al. in a comparable number of targets. Taking their data together with our results, we find a best-fit K-band Kormendy relation of μ_{e} = 4.3 log_{10} (r_{e}/kpc) + 14.2 mag arcsec^{-2}, virtually identical to that obtained for normal ellipticals. Finally, the near-infrared colors determined for five galaxies (average J-K = 0.8 +/- 0.3 mag) are the first such measurements for BL Lac hosts, and match those expected from old stellar populations at the BL Lac redshifts.

REST: A Leaf Cell Design System
Creators: name: Mosteller, R. C.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981
Subjects: Computer Science

description: This thesis describes a leaf cell design system, REST, Richard's Editor for Sticks. REST is intended to be used for the preparation of the lowest level cells in an integrated circuit design. A stick notation is used in the editing process. Given a structured design methodology any design task can be separated into two parts: 1) leaf cell design and 2) composition cell design. This tool addresses the first of these tasks, although it may also be used for general manipulation of stick diagrams. A table driven compaction algorithm is presented. This graph based algorithm uses a weighted affinity factor to reduce total polysilicon and diffusion wire length. A suite of utilities provide functions such as file interface, physical mapping, annotation, etc. consistent with a set of design rules. The system has been implemented in Simula on a DEC 20 computer, and works in conjunction with a limited functional diagramming system. The design rules, models and stick interpretation are table driven and can be changed for various technologies. Currently REST is being used for NMOS technology. A community of users have used the REST system to prepare a number of designs resulting in a substantial reduction of design time. In addition, the system is currently being used at a major computer manufacturer in conjunction with a VLSI design course.
Stability of the Vacuum Non Singular Black Hole

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The singularity of the black hole solutions obtained before in Møller's theory are studied. It is found that although the two solutions reproduce the same associated metric the asymptotic behavior of the scalars of torsion tensor and basic vector are quite different. The stability of the associated metric of those solutions which is spherically symmetric non singular black hole is studied using the equations of geodesic deviation. The condition for the stability is obtained. From this condition the stability of the Schwarzschild solution and di Sitter solution can be obtained.

description: Surirella cf. fastuosa Ehrenberg, sensu Ruck & Kociolek 2004 Figs 146–149
Ref. illus.: Ruck & Kociolek 2004, pl. 11–13
Samples: GU44L-C, GU44AQ-1, GU44AQ-3, GU44AR-1, GU66A-2, GU66C-7, GU66F-4 Dimensions: Length 62–81 µm, width 39–45 µm. Infundibula 2.5 in 10 µm.
Diagnostics: Broadly oval, the sides nearly straight, sometimes very weakly indented; neither the valve margin nor the keel markedly constricted or convex at the center. Lanceolate central area (circlet) with external ribs, but lacking short striae on the perimeter; puncta completely absent on internal side of circlet.
Comments: Plastids: two lobed plates, as in typical Surirella fastuosa (Fig. 146). Larger, more oval, and more symmetrical than S. fastuosa, and without the short striae on the circlet. These specimens match the California sample described by Ruck & Kociolek (2004), except for the complete lack of puncta on the inner face of the circlet here. Ruck & Kociolek identified their material only as comparable to S. fastuosa “until such time as the type material is examined and the variability in morphology documented.” Given this situation, I list this taxon as separate from S. fastuosa.

Gluon propagator and three-gluon vertex with dynamical quarks

description: We present a detailed analysis of the kinetic and mass terms associated with the Landau gauge gluon propagator in the presence of dynamical quarks, and a comprehensive dynamical study of certain special kinematic limits of the three-gluon vertex. Our approach capitalizes on results from recent lattice simulations with (2+1) domain wall fermions, a novel nonlinear treatment of the gluon mass equation, and the nonperturbative reconstruction of the longitudinal three-gluon vertex from its fundamental Slavnov-Taylor identities. Particular emphasis is placed on the persistence of the suppression displayed by certain combinations of the vertex form factors at intermediate and low momenta, already known from numerous pure Yang-Mills studies. One of our central findings is that the inclusion of dynamical quarks moderates the intensity of this phenomenon only mildly, leaving the asymptotic low-momentum behavior unaltered, but displaces the characteristic "zero crossing" deeper into the infrared region. In addition, the effect of the three-gluon vertex is explored at the level of the renormalization-group invariant combination corresponding to the effective gauge coupling, whose size is considerably reduced with respect to its counterpart obtained from the ghost-gluon vertex. The main upshot of the above considerations is the further confirmation of the tightly interwoven dynamics between the two- and three-point sectors of QCD.

A Computational Model For Nanoparticle Delivery Across Lymphatics
Creators: name: Yarmovsky, Jenny
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2021
Subjects: nanoparticle delivery lymphatics

description: In order to increase the efficacy and reduce the side effects of immunotherapies, immune-modulating drugs should be delivered directly to secondary lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes, where a majority of immune cells reside. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems are increasingly being used for therapeutic applications, since the size of the particles allows them to effectively extravasate into the lymphatic system. Besides size, surface properties also affect the ability of nanoparticles to accumulate in lymph nodes. Due to the complex nature of the fundamental mechanisms underlying lymphatic transport, computational models for drug delivery are a valuable tool. Computational models allow us to elucidate the mechanisms behind transport, as well as observe the effects of various properties of the drug delivery vehicle on its transport. Here, an artificial neural network based computational model was used to correlate nanocarrier surface properties with increased transport efficacy. Neutral, hydrophilic surface chemistry achieved through coating of nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol was found to be optimal. This knowledge will inform nanoparticle design, which will be vital to improving the delivery, and therefore efficacy, of immunotherapies.
Millimeter Wave Loss in Superconducting Striplines

Subjects: Physics

description: The temperature dependence of the wave propagation in superconducting striplines from 80 to 100 GHz is experimentally examined for the first time. The measured resonance frequency spacing and temperature shift are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The loss measurements are limited by SNR in the setup, and an upper limit of 0.01-0.02 of dielectric loss tangent is estimated near 80 GHz from 1.6K to 4.2K.

description: We present a computational study of $L$-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in correlated 3$d$ transition-metal oxides using an $ab$ $initio$ method based on local density approximation + dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The present method, building on Anderson impurity model with an optimized continuum bath within DMFT, is an extension of the cluster model to include unbound electron-hole pair excitations as well as material-specific charge-transfer excitations with less empirical parameters. We find a good agreement with available experimental data. The relationship between correlated bands and fluorescence-like feature in the RIXS spectra is discussed.

description: Goat meat has become an increasingly good source of protein for meat eaters in the global marketplace. Goat meat constitutes about 63% of all red meat consumed worldwide. It is the main source of animal protein in many North African, Middle Eastern nations, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and other tropical regions. This notwithstanding, goat meat is yet to take such prominence in the U.S. diet. Despite the acknowledgement of the meat as lean, tasty and less fatty than other meats (USDA 2001), consumption is still limited to certain groups. Results of this study will provide implications for a successful market expansion in the area.
