title: Detecting mycobacterial cell states using photonics
Creators: name: Hammond, Robert James Hunter
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2016

description: Tuberculosis is an ancient disease with evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli being found in mummies from ancient Egypt. There are also contemporary cases of tuberculosis, worldwide, every day. Like a good parasite Mycobacterium tuberculosis can hide within its host undetected for long periods of time. This state of quiescence has numerous names but in this research we will be referring to mycobacterial dormancy. This study investigates the continuing problem of dormancy and associated antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). We focused on closely related research surrogates of MTB; M. smegmatis, M. fortuitum, M. marinum and M. bovis (BCG). Phenotypic resistance is defined as antibiotic resistance that arises as a function of an organism’s specific phenotype, rather than its genome and the genes it could express. Dormancy in MTB can arise when a culture of in vitro bacteria ages to the stationary phase or becomes otherwise stressed. In vivo the conditions surrounding dormancy are less well understood. Dormancy is an ill-defined state of being suggested for MTB characterised by a down shift in metabolic function and a resistance to chemotherapy. It has been noted that a similar phenotype is found in MTB cells that are expressing lipid bodies- lipid rich cells. We aimed to create a device that could differentiate between lipid rich and lipid poor cells rapidly using photonic technology. In so doing we created a rapid cell quantifying device, SLIC, which we have used and evaluated extensively with both mycobacteria and common nosocomial pathogens. As another approach we attempted to separate lipid rich from lipid poor cells. This was achieved using a novel buoyant density separation methodology in combination with an adapted lipophilic staining regimen. In combination these two techniques allowed us to generate discreet populations of ≥95% purity which we were then able to experiment on individually. Due to our novel separation methodology we were able to discover that lipid rich cells are much more resistant to the current anti-tuberculosis frontline treatment (≈40x more resistant). We showed that lipid rich cells down regulate certain nucleic acid markers associated with a quiescent cell state. We were also able to discover that lipid rich cells occur in young unstressed cultures indicating that the accumulation of lipid bodies is a natural part of the mycobacterial cell cycle. This hints at a possible reason for relapse in non-immunocompromised patients that maintain their drug regimen over the entire term. Given what we have achieved over the course of this work I believe that we are closer to understanding the effects of mycobacterial dormancy on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in vivo. Combining this with the invention of SLIC and its capacity to rapidly detect bacteria at unprecedentedly low concentrations we are closer to being able to diagnose and treat patients faster and with less wasted antibiotics than was previously possible.

description: Pulse compression is often practiced in ultrasound Non Destructive Testing (NDT) systems using chirps. However, chirps are inadequate for setups where multiple probes need to operate concurrently in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) arrangements. Conversely, many coded excitation systems designed for MIMO miss some chirp advantages (constant envelope excitation, easiness of bandwidth control, etc.) and may not be easily implemented on hardware originally conceived for chirp excitations. Here, we propose a system based on random-FM excitations, capable of enabling MIMO with minimal changes with respect to a chirp-based setup. Following recent results, we show that random-FM excitations retain many advantages of chirps and provide the ability to frequency-shape the excitations matching the transducers features.

description: We present a novel approach to the Bose polaron based on the notion of quantum groups, also known as $q$-deformed Lie algebras. In this approach, a mobile impurity can be depicted as a deformation of the Lie algebra of the bosonic creation and annihilation operators of the bath, in which the impurity is immersed. Accordingly, the Bose polaron can be described as a bath of noninteracting $q$-deformed bosons, which allows us to provide an analytical formulation of the Bose polaron at arbitrary couplings. Particularly, we derive its ground state energy in the phonon branch of the Bogoliubov dispersion and demonstrate that the previously observed transition from a repulsive to an attractive polaron occurs at the vicinity where the quantum group symmetry is broken. Furthermore, our approach has the potential to open up new avenues in polaron physics by connecting it with seemingly unrelated research topics where quantum groups play an essential role, such as anyons.

Data Assimilation by Conditioning on Future Observations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Conventional recursive filtering approaches, designed for quantifying the state of an evolving uncertain dynamical system with intermittent observations, use a sequence of (i) an uncertainty propagation step followed by (ii) a step where the associated data is assimilated using Bayes' rule. In this paper we switch the order of the steps to: (i) one step ahead data assimilation followed by (ii) uncertainty propagation. This route leads to a class of filtering algorithms named \emph{smoothing filters}. For a system driven by random noise, our proposed methods require the probability distribution of the driving noise after the assimilation to be biased by a nonzero mean. The system noise, conditioned on future observations, in turn pushes forward the filtering solution in time closer to the true state and indeed helps to find a more accurate approximate solution for the state estimation problem.

description: The variational principle of minimum free energy (MFEVP) has been widely used in the study of soft matter statics. MFEVP can be used not only to derive equilibrium equations (including both bulk equations and boundary conditions), but also to develop direct variational methods (such as Ritz method) to find approximate solutions to these equilibrium equations. In this work, we applied these variational methods to study long-range force transmission in nonlinear elastic biopolymer gels. We showed that the slow decay of cell-induced displacements measured experimentally for fibroblast spheroids in three-dimensional fibrin gels can be well explained by variational approximations based on the three-chain model of biopolymer gels.

Local interpretation of time-resolved X-ray absorption in Mott insulators: Insights from nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory

description: We present a formalism based on nonequilibrium dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) which allows to compute the time-resolved X-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) of photo-excited solids. By applying this formalism to the photo-doped half-filled and quarter-filled two-orbital Hubbard models in the Mott insulating regime we clarify how the time-resolved XAS signal reflects the nonequilibrium population of different local states. Apart from the missing broadening associated with continuum excitations, the atomic XAS spectrum computed with the nonthermal state populations provides a good approximation to the full nonequilibrium DMFT result. This suggest a route to combine the accurate DMFT description of nonequilibrum states of solids with cluster calculations of the XAS signal.

title: Characterization and Removal of Tributyltin (TBT) From Shipyard Washwasters Laboratory and Full-Scale Studies
Creators: name: Prasad, Ram
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Tributyltin has long been used as a biocide in many consumer products to prevent biological growth and fouling. One of the persistent uses of tributyltin is as an antifouling agent in marine paints where its use prevents biological growths on hulls and greatly improves the fuel efficiency of ships. Due to observed adverse effects (tributyltin is an endocrine disrupter) on non-target organisms like shellfish, oysters and snails, the use of tributyltin in marine paints has been banned in many nations and its point source discharge is now regulated through the Virginia Permit Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) program (first state to control its discharge). During this research, the limit was set at 50 ng/l.

Characterization and treatment studies were conducted in an effort to evaluate treatment options capable of removing TBT from shipyard washwaters above 1,000,000 ng/L to below 50 ng/l. Laboratory studies and operation of a full-scale treatment plant were used to examine treatment options for TBT removal. Conventional physicochemical treatment processes including coagulation, filtration, and activated carbon adsorption were used.

Significant variability was observed in the influent waters in their color, TBT and DOC concentrations and conductivity. Laboratory efforts showed that on average, 90% of TBT (particulate matter) could be removed by coagulation. Both aluminum sulfate and ferric sulfate were used as coagulants and optimal pH and dose conditions were examined for each coagulant. Results from the research showed that, irrespective of the type of coagulant, at lower pH ( ~ 7) TBT removal was greater compared to higher pH (8-10). There was no statistically significant difference found in removal capacities between the two metal salts. Removal of the dissolved fraction of TBT was achieved by granular activated carbon adsorption. TBT demonstrated its great affinity to GAC surface in both laboratory and full-scale efforts; but it was not consistently removed to levels that would meet the regulatory requirements. TBT persisted in effluents of the full-scale treatment plant and was observed to occur primarily in the particulate fraction. Influence of surface chemistry, pore size and competition rendered by DOC for empty sites on GAC was explored, speculating the complexation of TBT with DOC and its competition with TBT as significant. This study outlines an integrated assessment of research efforts carried out with both a full-scale treatment plant and laboratory scale treatment evaluations.

description: We perform N-body simulations for $f(T)$ gravity using the ME-Gadget code, in order to investigate for the first time the structure formation process in detail. Focusing on the power-law model, and considering the model-parameter to be consistent within 1$σ$ with all other cosmological datasets (such as SNIa, BAO, CMB, CC), we show that there are clear observational differences between $Λ$CDM cosmology and $f(T)$ gravity, due to the modifications brought about the latter in the Hubble function evolution and the effective $Newton\prime s$ constant. We extract the matter density distribution, matter power spectrum, counts-in-cells, halo mass function and excess surface density (ESD) around low density positions (LDPs) at present time. Concerning the matter power spectrum we find a difference from $Λ$CDM scenario, which is attributed to about 2/3 to the different expansion and to about 1/3 to the effective gravitational constant. Additionally, we find a difference in the cells, which is significantly larger than the Poisson error, which may be distinguishable with weak-lensing reconstructed mass maps. Moreover, we show that there are different massive halos with mass $M>10^{14}M_{\odot}/h$, which may be distinguishable with statistical measurements of cluster number counting, and we find that the ESD around LDPs is mildly different. In conclusion, high-lighting possible smoking guns, we show that large scale structure can indeed lead us to distinguish General Relativity and $Λ$CDM cosmology from $f(T)$ gravity.

description: A phase model with feedback control is studied as a dynamical model of power grids. As an example, we study a model network corresponding to the power grid in the Kyushu region. The standard frequency is maintained by the mutual synchronization and the feedback control. Electric failures are induced by an overload. We propose a local feedback method in which the strength of feedback control is proportional to the magnitude of generators. We find that the electric failures do not occur until the utilization ratio is close to 1 under this feedback control. We also find that the temporal response for the time-varying input power is suppressed under this feedback control. We explain the mechanisms using the corresponding global feedback method.

description: We characterize the quantum entanglement of the realistic two-qubit signals that are sensitive to charge noises. Our working example is the time response generated from a silicon double quantum dot (DQD) platform, where a single-qubit rotation and a two-qubit controlled-NOT operation are conducted sequentially in time to generate arbitrary entangled states. In order to characterize the entanglement of two-qubit states, we employ the marginal operational quasiprobability (OQ) approach that allows negative values of the probability function if a given state is entangled. While the charge noise, which is omnipresent in semiconductor devices, severely affects logic operations implemented in the DQD platform, causing huge degradation in fidelity of unitary operations as well as resulting two-qubit states, the pattern in the OQ-driven entanglement strength turns out to be quite invariant, indicating that the resource of quantum entanglement is not significantly broken though the physical system is exposed to noise-driven fluctuations in exchange interaction between quantum dots.

description: Time-resolved magneto-optics is a well-established optical pump probe technique to generate and to probe spin coherence in semiconductors. By this method, spin dephasing times T_2^* can easily be determined if their values are comparable to the available pump-probe-delays. If T_2^* exceeds the laser repetition time, however, resonant spin amplification (RSA) can equally be used to extract T_2^*. We demonstrate that in ZnO these techniques have several tripping hazards resulting in deceptive values for T_2^* and show how to avoid them. We show that the temperature dependence of the amplitude ratio of two separate spin species can easily be misinterpreted as a strongly temperature dependent T_2^* of a single spin ensemble, while the two spin species have T_2^* values which are nearly independent of temperature. Additionally, consecutive pump pulses can significantly diminish the spin polarization, which remains from previous pump pulses. While this barely affects T_2^* values extracted from delay line scans, it results in seemingly shorter T_2^* values in RSA.

description: We study the allowed parameter space of the scalar sector in the superweak extension of the standard model (SM). The allowed region is defined by the conditions of (i) stability of the vacuum and (ii) perturbativity up to the Planck scale, (iii) the pole mass of the Higgs boson falls into its experimentally measured range. We employ renormalization group equations and quantum corrections at two-loop accuracy. We study the dependence on the Yukawa couplings of the sterile neutrinos at selected values. We also check the exclusion limit set by the precise measurement of the mass of the W boson. Our method for constraining the parameter space using two-loop predictions can also be applied to simpler models such as the singlet scalar extension of the SM in a straightforward way.

description: By the peak of COVID-19 restrictions on April 8, 2020, up to 1.5 billion students across 188 countries were by the suspension of physical attendance in schools. Schools were among the first services to reopen as vaccination campaigns advanced. With the emergence of new variants and infection waves, the question now is to find safe protocols for the continuation of school activities. We need to understand how reliable these protocols are under different levels of vaccination coverage, as many countries have a meager fraction of their population vaccinated, including Uganda where the coverage is about 8\%. We investigate the impact of face-to-face classes under different protocols and quantify the surplus number of infected individuals in a city. Using the infection transmission when schools were closed as a baseline, we assess the impact of physical school attendance in classrooms with poor air circulation. We find that (i) resuming school activities with people only wearing low-quality masks leads to a near fivefold city-wide increase in the number of cases even if all staff is vaccinated, (ii) resuming activities with students wearing good-quality masks and staff wearing N95s leads to about a threefold increase, (iii) combining high-quality masks and active monitoring, activities may be carried out safely even with low vaccination coverage. These results highlight the effectiveness of good mask-wearing. Compared to ICU costs, high-quality masks are inexpensive and can help curb the spreading. Classes can be carried out safely, provided the correct set of measures are implemented.

description: The oxidation of potassium ferrocyanide, K_4Fe(CN)_6, in aqueous solution under fully supported conditions is carried out at interdigitated band and ring electrode arrays, and compared to theoretical models developed to simulate the processes. Simulated data is found to fit well with experimental results using literature values of diffusion coefficients for Fe(CN)_6^(4-) and Fe(CN)_6^(3-). The theoretical models are used to compare responses from interdigitated band and ring arrays, and the size of ring array required to approximate the response to a linear band array is investigated. An equation is developed for the radius of ring required for a pair of electrodes in a ring array to give a result with 5% of a pair of electrodes in a band array. This equation is found to be independent of the scan rate used over six orders of magnitude.

description: Two-body open charm strong decays of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are studied by the Bethe-Salpeter(BS) method combined with the $^3P_0$ model. The wave functions and mass spectra of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are obtained by solving the BS equation with the relativistic correction. The strong decay widths and relative ratios of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are calculated. Comparing our results with the experimental data, we obtain some interesting results. Considering the $X^*(3860)$ as the $χ_{c0}(2P)$, the total strong decay width is smaller than the experimental data. But the strong decay width depends on the parameter $γ$ in the $^3P_0$ model, and the mass and width of the $X^*(3860)$ have large errors, we cannot rule out the possibility that the $X^*(3860)$ is the $χ_{c0}(2P)$. The $X(4160)$ is a good candidate for the $χ_{c0}(3P)$, not only the strong decay width of the $χ_{c0}(3P)$ is same as the experimental data, but the relative ratios $\frac{Γ(χ_{c0}(3P)\to D\bar D)}{Γ(χ_{c0}(3P)\to D^*\bar D^*)}\approx0.0019<0.09$, and $\frac{Γ({χ_{c0}(3P)\to D\bar D^*})}{Γ({χ_{c0}(3P)\to D^*\bar D^*})}=0<0.22$ are consistent with the experimental results of the $X(4160)$. Taking the $X(4274)$ as the $χ_{c1}(3P)$, the strong decay width is consistent with the experimental data, so the $X(4274)$ is a good candidate for the $χ_{c1}(3P)$. Assigning the $X(4350)$ as the $χ_{c2}(3P)$, the corresponding strong decay width is slightly larger than the experimental data. To identify if the $X(4350)$ is $χ_{c2}(3P)$, many more investigations are needed. All of the strong decay widths and relative ratios of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states can provide the useful information to discover and confirm these particles in the future.

description: The two Rogers-Ramanujan $q$-series \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{n(n+σ)}}{(1-q)\cdots (1-q^n)}, \] where $σ=0,1$, play many roles in mathematics and physics. By the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, they are essentially modular functions. Their quotient, the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, has the special property that its singular values are algebraic integral units. We find a framework which extends the Rogers-Ramanujan identities to doubly-infinite families of $q$-series identities. If $a\in\{1,2\}$ and $m,n\geq 1$, then we have \[ \sum_{\substack{λλ_1\leq m}} q^{a|λ|} P_{2λ}(1,q,q^2,\dots;q^n) =\textrm{"infinite product modular function"}, \] where the $P_λ(x_1,x_2,\dots;q)$ are Hall-Littlewood polynomials. These $q$-series are specialized characters of affine Kac--Moody algebras. Generalizing the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, we prove in the case of $\textrm{A}_{2n}^{(2)}$ that the relevant $q$-series quotients are integral units.

title: Groundwater Management by Linear Programming
Creators: name: Song, Seungho
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1984

description:
Three hydraulic optimization models are developed. These models combine the finite difference equations of two-dimensional groundwater flow in composite aquifers with various linear programming techniques. The hydraulic submodel employed in these hydraulic optimization models is so versatile that it accounts for time varying pumpage, leaky artesian conditions, a variety of boundary conditions, induced infiltrations from streams or rivers, and conversion from artesian to water table conditions. The objective of submodel 1 is to maximize the total hydraulic head from pumping wells at the end of a study period. The objective of submodel 2 is the same as submodel 1, but it employs a stepwise optimization procedure. The objective of submodel 3 is to maximize the total discharge from pumping wells. Comparison of results from submodels 1 and 2, as applied to various hypothetical aquifer conditions, shows that the stepwise optimization procedure is satisfactory. Also, submodels 2 and 3 are applied to the Eastern Shore of Virginia aquifer to illustrate the use of groundwater management schemes in real-life aquifer situations.

Energy dissipation of moved magnetic vortices

description: A two-dimensional easy-plane ferromagnetic substrate, interacting with a dipolar tip which is magnetised perpendicular with respect to the easy plane is studied numerically by solving the Landau-Lifshitz Gilbert equation. The dipolar tip stabilises a vortex structure which is dragged through the system and dissipates energy. An analytical expression for the friction force in the v$\rightarrow$0-limit based on the Thiele equation is presented. The limitations of this result which predicts a diverging friction force in the thermodynamic limit, are demonstrated by a study of the size dependence of the friction force. While for small system sizes the dissipation depends logarithmically on the system size, it saturates at a specific velocity dependent value. This size can be regarded as an effective vortex size and it is shown how this effective vortex size agrees with the infinite extension of a vortex in the thermodynamic limit. A magnetic friction number is defined which represents a general criterion for the validity of the Thiele equation and quantifies the degree of nonlinearity in the response of a driven spin configuration.

description: The molecular framework Ag(tcm) (tcm$^-$ = tricyanomethanide) expands continuously in two orthogonal directions under hydrostatic compression. The first of its kind, this negative area compressibility behaviour arises from the flattening of honeycomb-like layers during rapid pressure-driven collapse of the interlayer separation.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We introduce a new variational approach to the stationary state of kinetic Ising-like models. The approach is based on the cluster expansion of the entropy term appearing in a functional which is minimized by the system history. We rederive a known mean-field theory and propose a new method, here called diamond approximation, which turns out to be more accurate and faster than other methods of comparable computational complexity.
