description: The ``no-slip'' boundary condition, i.e., zero fluid velocity relative to the solid at the fluid-solid interface, has been very successful in describing many macroscopic flows. A problem of principle arises when the no-slip boundary condition is used to model the hydrodynamics of immiscible-fluid displacement in the vicinity of the moving contact line, where the interface separating two immiscible fluids intersects the solid wall. Decades ago it was already known that the moving contact line is incompatible with the no-slip boundary condition, since the latter would imply infinite dissipation due to a non-integrable singularity in the stress near the contact line. In this paper we first present an introductory review of the problem. We then present a detailed review of our recent results on the contact-line motion in immiscible two-phase flow, from MD simulations to continuum hydrodynamics calculations. Through extensive MD studies and detailed analysis, we have uncovered the slip boundary condition governing the moving contact line, denoted the generalized Navier boundary condition. We have used this discovery to formulate a continuum hydrodynamic model whose predictions are in remarkable quantitative agreement with the MD simulation results at the molecular level. These results serve to affirm the validity of the generalized Navier boundary condition, as well as to open up the possibility of continuum hydrodynamic calculations of immiscible flows that are physically meaningful at the molecular level.

description: Electromagnetic (and adiabatic) energy losses of pions and muons modify the flavor ratio (measured at Earth) of neutrinos produced by pion decay in astrophysical sources, $Φ_{ν_e}:Φ_{ν_μ}:Φ_{ν_τ}$, from 1:1:1 at low energy to 1:1.8:1.8 at high energy. The transition occurs over 1-2 decades of nuetrino energy, and is correlated with a modification of the neutrino spectrum. For gamma-ray bursts, e.g., the transition is expected at \~100 TeV, and may be detected by km-scale neutrino telescopes. Measurements of the transition energy and energy-width will provide unique probes of the physics of the sources. pion and muon energy losses also affect the ratio of $\barν_e$ flux to total neutrino flux, which may be measured at the W-resonance (6.3 PeV): It is modified from 1/6 (1/15) at low energy to 1/9 (practically 0) at high energy for neutrinos produced in pp ($pγ$) interactions.

description: We used unit root and cointegration techniques to determine the long run relationship between GDP and investment for 90 countries using data from World Bank for the period 1960-1992. In the first step of our analysis we found GDP and investment integrated of different orders for 33 countries. Second step of our analysis shows no cointegration between GDP and investment for 25 countries and cointegration for 25 countries with both variables of order I(1). The other 7 countries with both variables of order I(0) are in long run relation and do not need cointegration test. To determine the direction of causal effect between GDP and investment we used Granger causality test as the third step of our analysis. We found causality in the short run for 15 countries and in the long run for 23 countries. Bi-directional causality is found for 10, unidirectional causality from GDP to investment for 18 and from investment to GDP for 10 countries. The causality from GDP to investment is positive for 11 countries and from investment to GDP for 6 countries. Bi-directional causality is mostly positive between the two variables.

description: A general theory of the Casimir-Polder interaction of single atoms with dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is presented, which is based on QED in linear, causal media. Both ground-state and excited atoms are considered. Whereas the Casimir-Polder force acting on a ground-state atom can conveniently be derived from a perturbative calculation of the atom-field coupling energy, an atom in an excited state is subject to transient force components that can only be fully understood by a dynamical treatment based on the body-assisted vacuum Lorentz force. The results show that the Casimir-Polder force can be influenced by the body-induced broadening and shifting of atomic transitions - an effect that is not accounted for within lowest-order perturbation theory. The theory is used to study the Casimir-Polder force of a ground-state atom placed within a magnetodielectric multilayer system, with special emphasis on thick and thin plates as well as a planar cavity consisting of two thick plates. It is shown how the competing attractive and repulsive force components related to the electric and magnetic properties of the medium, respectively, can - for sufficiently strong magnetic properties - lead to the formation of potential walls and wells.

The model is applied to an irrigated corn production county in the Nebraska Mid-State area where the groundwater contamination level from nitrates is reported to be, on average, 18.7 parts per million (ppm). Adoption of nutrient management practices would result in increased economic benefits to farmers and reduced nitrate stocks in groundwater.

description: Today's consumers face foods whose production attributes they are often largely unfamiliar with and uncertain about. This study surveyed Delaware consumers about labeling, health risk concerns, and knowledge of five potential attributes for chicken: free-range, treated with antibiotics, irradiated, fed genetically modified (GM) feed, and GM chicken. Respondents were highly in favor of labeling all attributes, and perceived a high health risk from and had a low self-reported knowledge of many of the attributes. Gender, tobacco use, and label reading habits were significant factors in explaining the difference in responses. An analysis of survey comments further demonstrated the extent of consumer concerns.

description: We report theoretical predictions on the pairing symmetry of the newly discovered superconducting nickelate Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_{2}$ based on the renormalized mean-field theory for a generalized model Hamiltonian proposed in [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{101}, 020501(R)]. For practical values of the key parameters, we find a transition between a gapped ($d+is$)-wave pairing state in the small doping region to a gapless $d$-wave pairing state in the large doping region, accompanied by an abrupt Fermi surface change at the critical doping. Our overall phase diagram also shows the possibility of a ($d+is$)- to $s$-wave transition if the electron hybridization is relatively small. In either case, the low-doping ($d+is$)-wave state is a gapped superconducting state with broken time-reversal symmetry. Our results are in qualitative agreement with recent experimental observations and predict several key features to be examined in future measurements.

description: (abridged) Recent studies, using OGLE data for LMC Cepheids in the optical, strongly suggest that the period-luminosity (PL) relation for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids shows a break or non-linearity at a period of 10 days. In this paper we apply statistical tests, the chi-square test and the F-test, to the Cepheid data from the MACHO project to test for a non-linearity of the V- and R-band PL relations at 10 days, and extend these tests to the near infrared (JHK-band) PL relations with 2MASS data. We correct the extinction for these data by applying an extinction map towards the LMC. The statistical test we use, the F-test, is able to take account of small numbers of data points and the nature of that data on either side of the period cut at 10 days. With our data, the results we obtained imply that the VRJH-band PL relations are non-linear around a period of 10 days, while the K-band PL relation is (marginally) consistent with a single-line regression. The choice of a period of 10 days, around which this non-linearity occurs, is consistent with the results obtained when this "break" period is estimated from the data. Long period Cepheids are supplemented from the literature to increase our sample size. The photometry of these long period Cepheids is compared with our data and no trend with period is found. Our main results remain unchanged when we supplement our dataset with these long period Cepheids. By examining our data at maximum light, we also suggest arguments why errors in reddening are unlikely to be responsible for our results. The non-linearity of the mean V-band PL relation as seen in both of the OGLE and MACHO data, using different extinction maps, suggests that this non-linearity is real.

description: The effects of consumer perceptions on attitudes toward the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s current labeling policy for GM foods are examined. Results show that as beliefs regarding potential adverse effects of GM crops on wildlife and the environment increase, consumers are less likely to support the FDA's current labeling policy. The perceived safety of GM foods was also found to be important. As consumers perceive GM foods to be safe (unsafe), they are more (less) likely to support the current policy. However, concerns regarding potential environmental damage of GM crops are more important relative to beliefs regarding the potential for negative long-term health effects.

description: We study both numerically and experimentally the breakup of a viscoelastic liquid bridge between two parallel electrodes. We solve the leaky-dielectric FENE-P model to describe the dynamical response of the liquid bridge under isothermal conditions. The results show that the surface charge screens the inner electric field perpendicular to the free surface over the entire dynamical process. The liquid bridge deformation produces a normal electric field on the outer side of the free surface that is commensurate with the axial one. The surface conduction does not significantly affect the current intensity in the time interval analyzed in the experiments. The force due to the shear electric stress becomes comparable to both the viscoelastic and surface tension forces in the last stage of the filament. However, it does not alter the elasto-capillary balance in the filament. The extensional relaxation times approximately coincides with the stress relaxation time prescribed in the FENE-P model. We measure experimentally the filament electrical conductivity and extensional relaxation time for PEO dissolved in deionized water and in a mixture of water and glycerine. We compare the filament electrical conductivity with the value measured in hydrostatic conditions for the same estimated temperature. Good agreement was found for PEO dissolved in water+glycerine, which indicates that the change of the filament microscopic structure due to the presence of stretched polymeric chains does not significantly alter the ion mobility in the stretching direction. Significant deviations are found for PEO dissolved in deionized water that may be attributed to the heat transferred to the ambient, neglected in the calculation of the filament temperature. The extensional relaxation time measured from the images acquired during the filament thinning hardly depends on the applied voltage.

The regulatory role of N-linked glycosylation in shaping the characteristics of trophoblasts
Creators: name: Huang, Zhengyuan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Dysregulation in placental N-glycosylation has been linked to placental complications during pregnancy, highlighting the need to understand how N-glycosylation shapes trophoblast phenotypes. To explore this, N-glycomic profiling was used to study N-glycan structures and populations in human first-trimester placentae, and the impacts of interfering with specific steps in N-glycan biosynthesis on trophoblast phenotype were demonstrated using the choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3. Placental tissues from pregnant women with normal or high resistance indexes in the first trimester were examined to assess the correlation between placental N-glycomic profile and the risk of developing early onset pre-eclampsia. The analysis revealed lower levels of bisected and tri-antennary N-glycan in the group with higher risk. Additionally, in vitro studies on JEG-3 demonstrated that the inhibition of specific steps in the N-glycosylation pathway relevant to observations in placental tissues altered JEG-3 N-glycomic profile and its trophoblast phenotypes including the expression pattern of human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G), secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin, and abundance of transcription factor GATA3. Pregnancies at increased risk of pre-eclampsia exhibit abnormal crosstalk between trophoblasts and decidual natural killer (NK) cells. To investigate the potential involvement of N-glycosylation in immunoregulatory effects of trophoblast, responses of JEG-3 with altered N-glycomic profiles to co-culture with CD56+ CD16– cell line NK-92 were examined, and JEG-3 being more susceptible to NK-92 was observed when subjected to either desialylation or swainsonine-induced inhibition of demannosylation. As a known reference target for NK-mediated cytolysis, HLA class I-negative cell line K562 exhibited a higher resistance to cytolysis mediated by NK-92 when possessing a JEG-3-like N-glycomic profile but expressing HLA-G on cell surface could not achieve the same level of resistance. Collectively, these findings suggested that N-glycosylation is involved in the shaping of trophoblast phenotypes, and dysregulation of this process may contribute to placental complications during pregnancy.

description: We report on the identification of 54 embedded clusters around 217 massive protostellar candidates of which 34 clusters are new detections. The embedded clusters are identified as stellar surface density enhancements in the 2 $μ$m All Sky Survey (2MASS) data. Because the clusters are all associated with massive stars in their earliest evolutionary stage, the clusters should also be in an early stage of evolution. Thus the properties of these clusters should reflect properties associated with their formation rather than their evolution. For each cluster, we estimate the mass, the morphological type, the photometry and extinction. The clusters in our study, by their association with massive protostars and massive outflows, reinstate the notion that massive stars begin to form after the first generation of low mass stars have completed their accretion phase. Further, the observed high gas densities and accretion rates at the centers of these clusters is consistent with the hypothesis that high mass stars form by continuing accretion onto low mass stars.

AbstractThe oncogenic transcription inhibitor lurbinectedin (ZEPZELCA™) is being developed by PharmaMar as a treatment for various cancers. The drug has been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) by regulatory authorities in multiple countries worldwide and was approved in the USA in June 2020 for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. The US FDA and international regulators, including the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, are collaborating on the review of lurbinectedin under the Project Orbis initiative. Clinical investigation in other solid cancers is ongoing. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of lurbinectedin leading to this first approval for the treatment of metastatic SCLC.

description: DICE is a general purpose multidimensional numerical integration package. There can be two ways in the parallelization of DICE, "distributing random numbers into workers" and "distributing hypercubes into workers". Furthermore, there can be the combination of both ways. So far, we had developed the parallelization code using the former way and reported it in ACAT2002 in Moscow. Here, we will present the recent developments of parallelized DICE in the latter way as the 2nd stage of our parallelization activities.

description: We have investigated the plasmonic enhancement of the radiation field at various nanostructured multilayer devices, that may be applied in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. We apply an image dipole method to describe the effect of surface morphology on the field enhancement in a quasistatic limit. In particular, we compare the performance of a nanostructured silver surface and a layered silver-gold hybrid device. It is found that localized surface plasmon states (LSP) provide a high field enhancement in silver-gold hybrid devices, where symmetry breaking due to surface-defects is a supporting factor. These results are compared to those obtained for multi-shell nanoparticles of spherical symmetry. Calculated enhancement factors are discussed on the background of recent experimental data.

Towards sympathetic cooling of molecules using ultracold atoms
Creators: name: Rich, Caleb
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Ultracold molecules can be used for a wide range of applications, including quantum chemistry, tests of fundamental physics, and quantum simulation. These goals hinge on the ability to produce a gas of polar molecules at high phase-space density. Sympathetic cooling offers a promising route to bring laser-cooled molecules into this regime. In this thesis, we make progress towards sympathetic cooling of CaF molecules with ultracold Rb atoms. Both species are loaded into a magnetic trap and we study collisions between them. Rotationally-excited molecules are found to collide inelastically with the atoms with a rate coefficient close to the universal limit. In the rotational ground state, no inelastic collisions are observed but an upper bound is placed on the inter-species inelastic loss rate coefficient. An attempt was made to observe thermalization between the two species is observed, which places an upper limit on the elastic cross section. Transverse cooling of the molecular beam used for loading the MOT is implemented, increasing the number of molecules captured by a factor of 3.5. Benefiting from this, both species are loaded into a 1D optical lattice - demonstrating the first mixture of atoms and laser-cooled molecules in an optical trap. We observe rapid loss of molecules when cotrapped with the atoms, even for molecules in the rotational ground state. This is attributed to elastic collisions with the atoms, which have a temperature close to the trap depth for molecules. To circumvent this, it is necessary to cool the atoms further in a deep optical trap. Cooling of Rb atoms in a lattice and an optical dipole trap (ODT) is demonstrated using a Λ-enhanced gray molasses and we succeed in cooling the atoms down to 18 μK in an ODT of depth 1mK. At this temperature, sympathetic cooling of the molecules in the ODT should be observable.
A multi-component discrete Boltzmann model for nonequilibrium reactive flows

description: We propose a multi-component discrete Boltzmann model (DBM) for premixed, nonpremixed, or partially premixed nonequilibrium reactive flows. This model is suitable for both subsonic and supersonic flows with or without chemical reaction and/or external force. A two-dimensional sixteen-velocity model is constructed for the DBM. In the hydrodynamic limit, the DBM recovers the modified Navier-Stokes equations for reacting species in a force field. Compared to standard lattice Boltzmann models, the DBM presents not only more accurate hydrodynamic quantities, but also detailed nonequilibrium effects that are essential yet long-neglected by traditional fluid dynamics. Apart from nonequilibrium terms (viscous stress and heat flux) in conventional models, specific hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium quantities (high order kinetic moments and their departure from equilibrium) are dynamically obtained from the DBM in a straightforward way. Due to its generality, the developed methodology is applicable to a wide range of phenomena across many energy technologies, emissions reduction, environmental protection, mining accident prevention, chemical and process industry.

description: Motivated by Bonahon's result for hyperbolic surfaces, we construct an analogue of the Patterson-Sullivan-Bowen-Margulis map from the Culler-Vogtmann outer space $CV(F_k)$ into the space of projectivized geodesic currents on a free group. We prove that this map is a topological embedding. We also prove that for every $k\ge 2$ the minimum of the volume entropy of the universal covers of finite connected volume-one metric graphs with fundamental group of rank $k$ and without degree-one vertices is equal to $(3k-3)\log 2$ and that this minimum is realized by trivalent graphs with all edges of equal lengths, and only by such graphs.

Wilson function transforms related to Racah coefficients

description: The irreducible $*$-representations of the Lie algebra $su(1,1)$ consist of discrete series representations, principal unitary series and complementary series. We calculate Racah coefficients for tensor product representations that consist of at least two discrete series representations. We use the explicit expressions for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients as hypergeometric functions to find explicit expressions for the Racah coefficients. The Racah coefficients are Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. This leads to natural interpretations of the Wilson function transforms. As an application several sum and integral identities are obtained involving Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. We also compute Racah coefficients for $U_q(\su(1,1))$, which turn out to be Askey-Wilson functions and Askey-Wilson polynomials.

description: Introduction Existing literature about online handwriting analysis to support pathology diagnosis has taken advantage of in-air trajectories. A similar situation occurred in biometric security applications where the goal is to identify or verify an individual using his signature or handwriting. These studies do not consider the distance of the pen tip to the writing surface. This is due to the fact that current acquisition devices do not provide height formation. However, it is quite straightforward to differentiate movements at two different heights: a) short distance: height lower or equal to 1 cm above a surface of digitizer, the digitizer provides x and y coordinates. b) long distance: height exceeding 1 cm, the only information available is a time stamp that indicates the time that a specific stroke has spent at long distance. Although short distance has been used in several papers, long distances have been ignored and will be investigated in this paper. Methods In this paper, we will analyze a large set of databases (BIOSECURID, EMOTHAW, PaHaW, Oxygen-Therapy and SALT), which contain a total amount of 663 users and 17951 files. We have specifically studied: a) the percentage of time spent on-surface, in-air at short distance, and in-air at long distance for different user profiles (pathological and healthy users) and different tasks; b) The potential use of these signals to improve classification rates. Results and conclusions Our experimental results reveal that long-distance movements represent a very small portion of the total execution time (0.5 % in the case of signatures and 10.4% for uppercase words of BIOSECUR-ID, which is the largest database). In addition, significant differences have been found in the comparison of pathological versus control group for letter l in PaHaW database (p=0.0157) and crossed pentagons in SALT database (p=0.0122)
