description: We use deep F275W imaging from the $Hubble$ Deep UV Legacy Survey (HDUV) and G280 grism spectroscopy from $HST$/WFC3, along with new and archival optical spectra from Keck/DEIMOS, to search for candidate ionizing sources in the GOODS-N field at z ~ 2.5 - 3. Spectroscopic identification of our UV-selected sources are 99% complete to F275W = 25.5 in the region of the UV imaging, and we identify 6 potential ionizing galaxies or AGNs at z ~ 3. By far the brightest of these is a z = 2.583 AGN that totally dominates the ionizing flux in the region, with a specific ionizing volume emissivity at $912~ Å$ of $ε_{912}$ = $8.3^{27}_{1.4} \times 10^{24}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-3}$. Based on our spectroscopic data, we find four candidates are contaminated by foreground galaxies at z ~ 0.5 - 0.7. At $ε_{912}$ = $2.2^{7.2}_{0.4} \times 10^{23}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-3}$, the remaining candidate galaxy's contribution to the ionizing background lies well below the flux required to ionize the intergalactic medium at z ~ 2.5 - 3, consistent with previous observations that show AGNs provide the bulk of the ionizing background at these redshifts.

description: Some of the most effective influential spreader detection algorithms are unstable to small perturbations of the network structure. Inspired by bagging in Machine Learning, we propose the first Perturb and Combine (P&C) procedure for networks. It (1) creates many perturbed versions of a given graph, (2) applies a node scoring function separately to each graph, and (3) combines the results. Experiments conducted on real-world networks of various sizes with the k-core, generalized k-core, and PageRank algorithms reveal that P&C brings substantial improvements. Moreover, this performance boost can be obtained at almost no extra cost through parallelization. Finally, a bias-variance analysis suggests that P&C works mainly by reducing bias, and that therefore, it should be capable of improving the performance of all vertex scoring functions, including stable ones.

description: We study the real counterpart of double Hurwitz numbers, called real double Hurwitz numbers here. We establish a lower bound for these numbers with respect to their dependence on the distribution of branch points. We use it to prove, under certain conditions, existence of real Hurwitz covers as well as logarithmic equivalence of real and classical Hurwitz numbers. The lower bound is based on the \enquote{tropical} computation of real Hurwitz numbers in arXiv:1412.4235.

description: We explore the possibility of embedding the Pati-Salam model in the context of Type I brane models. We study a generic model with U(4)_C x U(2)_L x U(2)_R gauge symmetry and matter fields compatible with a Type I brane configuration. Examining the anomaly cancellation conditions of the surplus abelian symmetries we find an alternative hypercharge embedding that is compatible with a low string/brane scale of the order of 5-7 TeV, when the U(4)_C and U(2)_R brane stack couplings are equal. Proton stability is assured as baryon number is associated to a global symmetry remnant of the broken abelian factors. It is also shown that this scenario can accommodate an extra low energy abelian symmetry that can be associated to lepton number. The issue of fermion and especially neutrino masses is also discussed.

description: We present the analysis of seven \emph{Chandra} High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer and six simultaneous \emph{RXTE} Proportional Counter Array observations of the persistent neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1 on its normal and horizontal branches. Across nearly 10 years, GX 13+1 is consistently found to be accreting at $50-70$\% Eddington, and all observations exhibit multiple narrow, blueshifted absorption features, the signature of a disk wind, despite the association of normal and horizontal branches with jet activity. A single absorber with standard abundances cannot account for all seven major disk wind features, indicating that multiple absorption zones may be present. Two or three absorbers can produce all of the absorption features at their observed broadened widths and reveal that multiple kinematic components produce the accretion disk wind signature. Assuming the most ionized absorber reflects the physical conditions closest to the NS, we estimate a wind launching radius of $7\times10^{10}$ cm, for an electron density of $10^{12}$ cm$^{-3}$. This is consistent with the Compton radius and also with a thermally driven wind. Because of the source's high Eddington fraction, radiation pressure likely facilitates the wind launching.

Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: Just a week before midterms, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was victim of a politically motivated attack. An intruder broke in to the Pelosi’s home on October 28th and violently assulted Mr. Pelosi with a hammer. Both men were taken to a hospital to recieve medical aid. Mr. Pelosi underwent surgery for skull fractures and injuries to his hands and right arm. 
The suspect David DePape, told police he was looking to interrogate Nancy Pelosi, on an unspecified political matter. He had a “roll of tape, white tope, a second hammer, a pair of rubber and cloth gloves, and zip ties” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
DePape’s online presence, was described by the police as bigoted sentiments against minorities, jews, women and transgender people, while supporting the right wing conspiracy of QAnon.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announched several state charges against the 42-year-old suspect, including attempted murder, assualt with a deadly weapon, burglary, elder abuse, and threatening a public official. The federal charges DePape faces carry a maximum sentance of 50 years in prison, according to the Justice Department. The arraignment will take place on Tuesday, November 8th.
As midterms approach, the increase politically based attacks in recent years have stirred fears in Members of Congress that online misinformtion and polarization will lead to actual violence.

description: The situation of chemical contamination, current environmental conditions of Izmir Bay, effects of industrial threats on the surrounding landscapes caused by chemical and organic pollutants as well as water pollution were reviewed and analyzed in the current work. Undoubtedly, water pollution and its ecological impact causes worries and challenges in western Turkey. The waters of Izmir Bay are polluted critically in the inner part, significantly in its central part, and more or less satisfactorily in the outer part of the bay. This confirms that Izmir Bay is claimed to be one of the most polluted estuaries in the Mediterranean Sea. Since hydro- and oceanological settings play vital role within the ecosystem structure, the polluted coastal and shelf waters cause serious environmental consequences in the region. Current paper reported environmental threats in the ecosystems based on studies of numerous related documents and GIS analysis and reviewed ecological threats in the ecosystem of Izmir area using related reports and GIS.

description: Background: What happened?
Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was attacked by 42 year-old David DePape, who “embraced false claims that the election was stolen in 2020.” [1] Paul Pelosi was attacked by DePape and was repeatedly struck with a hammer and suffered a skull fracture. According to law enforcement, the attack was intentionally targeted. [1] DePape forcefully entered Nancy and Paul Pelosi’s home and shouted “‘Where is Nancy?’” [3]
Results: What happens next for DePape?
According to the U.S. Code § 351, “if any person assaults a member of Congress, they shall be fined, imprisoned.” [4] DePape is facing charges of homicide and elder abuse. [1] He is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday with felony charges against him. [5]
Implications: What does this mean for other Congressmembers’ security?
Members of Congress are voicing their concerns about potential security threats. Republicans and Democrats are worried about the rising threats of political violence. Rep Adam Kizinger (R-IL) said “…the real concern is about those who act without warning.” [2] Rep Sarah Jacobs (D-CA) said “the attack certainly heightened my own concerns about personal safety.” [2] Many have proposed increased security measures such as having officers stationed outside congress members’ homes, yet no new regulations have been initiated. Law enforcement should continue to pursue DePape’s motives for the attack. Political violence has surfaced in American Democracy today more than it ever has in history. It is important to hold people accountable for their actions in American Democracy.

description: We present a superconducting device showing a clear parity effect in the number of electrons, even when there is, on average, a single nonequilibrium quasiparticle present and the parity of the island switches due to quasiparticles tunneling in and out of the device at rates on the order of 100 Hz. We detect the switching by monitoring in real time the charge state of a superconducting island connected to normal leads by tunnel junctions. The quasiparticles are created by Cooper pairs breaking on the island at a rate of a few kHz. We demonstrate that the pair breaking is caused by the backaction of the single-electron transistor used as a charge detector. With sufficiently low probing currents, our superconducting island is free of quasiparticles 97% of the time.

Empty gaps? Depleting annular regions in debris discs by secular resonance with a two-planet system
Creators: name: Yelverton, Ben

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the evolution on secular time-scales of a radially extended debris disc under the influence of a system of two coplanar planets interior to the disc, showing that the secular resonances of the system can produce a depleted region in the disc by exciting the eccentricities of planetesimals. Using Laplace-Lagrange theory, we consider how the two exterior secular resonance locations, time-scales and widths depend on the masses, semi-major axes and eccentricities of the planets. In particular, we find that unless the resonances are very close to each other, one of them is very narrow and therefore unimportant for determining the observable structure of the disc. We apply these considerations to the debris disc of HD 107146, identifying combinations of the parameters of a possible unobserved two-planet system that could configure the secular resonances appropriately to reproduce the depletion observed in the disc. By performing N-body simulations of such systems, we find that planetesimal eccentricities do indeed become large near the theoretical secular resonance locations. The N-body output is post-processed to set the initial surface density profile of the disc, and to include the possible effects of collisional depletion. We find that it is possible to obtain a double-ringed disc in these simulations but not an axisymmetric one, with the inner ring having an offset whose magnitude depends on the eccentricities of the planets, and the outer ring showing spiral structure.

Pill Mills Keep Churning: Courts Raise the Bar for Convicting Doctors Accused of Fueling Opioid Epidemic

Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: A federal appeals court recently overturned Shakeel Kahn’s 2019 conviction—which sentenced him to 25 years after he was found guilty on several counts related to illegally prescribing powerful drugs—after a ruling by the Supreme Court raised the bar for what prosecutors have to prove in cases like these [1]. Kahn and his brother operated a medical practice in Arizona. After local pharmacies began to refuse Kahn’s requests to fill prescriptions in 2012, Kahn opened a second practice in Casper, Wyoming while continuing to operate in Arizona and keeping many of his patients[2]. After a government investigation beginning in 2016, Kahn was convicted of illegally prescribing various prescription drugs, particularly oxycodone, in exchange for money and without adequate examination of patient needs. Kahn defended himself by saying that he had a “good faith” reason to believe the prescriptions were valid. A jury in Wyoming convicted him on various charges related to these allegations [2]. After appealing to the Supreme Court, Justice Breyer wrote in a unanimous opinion that “once defendants produce evidence that they were authorized to dispense controlled substances like opioids, prosecutors must prove they knew they were acting in an unauthorized manner” [3]. The Court said that jurors were wrongly instructed as to the mens rea standard—or knowledge and intent requirement—necessary to convict Kahn in violation of the Controlled Substances Act. On remand, the 10th circuit ruled that this error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt to the jury’s rationale for their decision, and thus Kahn is entitled to a new trial [2]. The Court’s clarification of the grounds necessary to convict doctors accused of violating the Controlled Substances Act will effectively make it more difficult to prove that operators of America’s “pill mills”—which help fuel the nation’s opioid epidemic—are violating the law [1].

Forming Disoriented Chiral Condensates through Fluctuations
Creators: name: Rischke, Dirk H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the influence functional formalism, classical equations of motion for the O(N) model are derived in the presence of a heat bath, in both the symmetric phase as well as the phase of spontaneously broken symmetry. The heat bath leads to dissipation and fluctuation terms in the classical equations of motion, which are explicitly computed to lowest order in perturbation theory. In the broken phase these terms are found to be large for the sigma field, even at zero temperature, due to the decay process sigma -> pi pi, while they are small for the pi fields at temperatures below T_c = 160 MeV. It is shown that in large volumes the presence of dissipation and fluctuations suppresses the formation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC's). In small volumes, however, fluctuations become sufficiently large to induce the formation of DCC's even if chiral symmetry has not been restored in the initial stage of the system's evolution.

description: We give an overview of recent efforts to model Type Ia supernovae and related astrophysical transients resulting from thermonuclear explosions in white dwarfs. In particular we point out the challenges resulting from the multi-physics multi-scale nature of the problem and discuss possible numerical approaches to meet them in hydrodynamical explosion simulations and radiative transfer modeling. We give examples of how these methods are applied to several explosion scenarios that have been proposed to explain distinct subsets or, in some cases, the majority of the observed events. In case we comment on some of the successes and shortcoming of these scenarios and highlight important outstanding issues.

Development of catalysts for the addition of N-H and O-H to carbon-carbon double bonds
Creators: name: Taylor, Jason Guy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The addition of O-H and N-H bonds across carbon-carbon double bonds offers a direct way of synthesising a variety of organic molecules. These reactions have attracted considerable interest in academic research and the chemical/pharmaceutical industry in recent years due to its atom economy. Nevertheless, there remains a considerably challenge to control the regioselectivity and the stereoselectivity of this reaction. This PhD thesis describes the investigation into the discovery and development of a general method for catalytic hydroamination (HA), hydroalkoxylation and hydrooxyacylation of olefins. Air- and moisture-stable transition metal catalysts were the main focus of this study. The introductory Chapter provides an overview of recent advances in N-H addition reactions involving late transition metal catalysts. In Chapter 2, rhodium and ruthenium complexes were examined as catalysts for the addition of N-H bonds to alkenes. The combination of (RuCl2)n/dppb/AgOTf generated a catalyst effective for the addition of methyl carbamate to norbornene in a modest yield. Copper (II) trifluoromethanesulfonate was discovered to be an efficient catalyst for the addition of carboxylic acids, phenols and alcohols to norbornene. A selection of norbornyl esters and ethers were formed in good to excellent yields. In the following Chapter, the combination of copper (II) trifluoromethanesulfonate and diphosphine ligands was successfully applied to the addition of sulfonamides and carbamates to vinylarenes, 1,3-dienes and norbornene in good to excellent yields. In Chapter 4, the intramolecular hydroamination reaction was developed. The synthesis of several acyclic precursors were described, along with attempts to cyclise them. The chapter ends with the attempted synthesis of tricyclic molecules using a palladium-catalysed methodology. The last Chapter contains experimental procedures and characterisation data of all the compounds synthesised during the course of this project.

Feature Extraction for image super-resolution using finite rate of innovation principles
Creators: name: Baboulaz, Loic

description: To understand a real-world scene from several multiview pictures, it is necessary to find the disparities existing between each pair of images so that they are correctly related to one another. This process, called image registration, requires the extraction of some specific information about the scene. This is achieved by taking features out of the acquired images. Thus, the quality of the registration depends largely on the accuracy of the extracted features. Feature extraction can be formulated as a sampling problem for which perfect re- construction of the desired features is wanted. The recent sampling theory for signals with finite rate of innovation (FRI) and the B-spline theory offer an appropriate new frame- work for the extraction of features in real images. This thesis first focuses on extending the sampling theory for FRI signals to a multichannel case and then presents exact sampling results for two different types of image features used for registration: moments and edges. In the first part, it is shown that the geometric moments of an observed scene can be retrieved exactly from sampled images and used as global features for registration. The second part describes how edges can also be retrieved perfectly from sampled images for registration purposes. The proposed feature extraction schemes therefore allow in theory the exact registration of images. Indeed, various simulations show that the proposed extraction/registration methods overcome traditional ones, especially at low-resolution. These characteristics make such feature extraction techniques very appropriate for applications like image super-resolution for which a very precise registration is needed. The quality of the super-resolved images obtained using the proposed feature extraction meth- ods is improved by comparison with other approaches. Finally, the notion of polyphase components is used to adapt the image acquisition model to the characteristics of real digital cameras in order to run super-resolution experiments on real images.

description: Quantifying and interpreting variability in ecological systems allows us to better understand the driving forces that determine ecosystems functioning. We utilised earth observation-based remote sensing to determine total suspended sediment (TSS) concentrations for 109 lakes over 16 years. The coefficient of variation (CV) was used to quantify variability of TSS at three temporal scales (monthly, annual and long-term) and at the horizontal spatial scale. CV values varied between 0.14 and 1.09. Drivers of observed variability patterns were explored using five lake morphological and catchment characteristics. Lake area was the most important variable to predict variability of TSS. De-vegetated lakes displayed significantly higher TSS concentrations than vegetated lakes; however, aquatic vegetation was found to moderate only spatial variability of TSS. As spatio-temporal variability can be assumed to drive key ecosystem functions, determining characteristic variability patterns for various attributes should be a prerequisite when setting management goals and developing monitoring regimes.
title: Chemotherapeutic Drug Resistance Associated with Differential miRNA Expression of miR-375 and miR-27 among Oral Cancer Cell Lines

description: Objective: Although progress has been made towards the identification of molecular profiles that influence oral cancer growth and metastasis, recent advances have suggested that non-coding microRNAs (such as miR-21, miR-27, miR-145, miR-155, miR-365, miR-375 and miR-494) may be involved in multiple aspects of chemotherapeutic responsiveness. Based upon the paucity of information regarding this phenomenon, this project will determine whether these specific microRNAs are correlated with oral cancer responsiveness to chemotherapies, including Paclitaxel, Cisplatin and Fluorouracil (5FU).Methods: Commercially available and well-characterized oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (SCC4, SCC9, SCC15, SCC25 and CAL27) were used for this study. Experimental 96-well assays were performed to determine proliferation rates, chemotherapy resistance and sensitivity. RNA was extracted under treatment conditions and relative expression of microRNAs was analyzed using qPCR to determine any correlations with chemotherapy resistance.
Results: Proliferation assays revealed differing resistance and chemosensitivity to Cisplatin (-8.47% to -55.14%), Fluorouracil or 5FU (-8.5% to -57.31%) and Paclitaxol or Taxol (- 4.5% to -62.54%) among the oral cancer cell lines - with SCC9 and SCC25 demonstrating the most resistance and SCC15 the least resistance. SCC9 and SCC25 are also the only cell lines that expressed miR-375, and were the only cell lines that do not express miR-27. In addition, the least susceptible cell line SCC15 was the only cell line to express miR-145 and conversely was the only cell line not to produce miR-155.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the most susceptible cell line to all three chemotherapeutic agents produced miR-375 but did not produce miR-27. Conversely, the least susceptible cell lines differentially expressed miR-145 and miR-155. This strongly suggests differential microRNA expression may be associated with chemotherapeutic resistance to known and commonly used agents, which may be a useful tool to determine chemoresistance potential in specific tumors - a specific goal of personalized medicine and individualized therapy.
One sentence summary: Chemotherapy resistance among oral cancer cell lines was strongly correlated with differential expression of microRNAs, including miR-133, miR-27, miR-494, miR-145, miR-365, miR-720, miR-124 and miR-424.

description: The one-loop helicity amplitudes for the elastic scattering process $γν\toγν$ in the Standard Model are computed at high center of mass energies. A general decomposition of the amplitudes is utilized to investigate the validity of some of the key features of our results. In the center of mass, where $\sqrt{s} = 2ω$, the cross section grows roughly as $ω^6$ to near the threshold for $W$-boson production, $\sqrt{s} = m_W$. Although suppressed at low energies, we find that the elastic cross section exceeds the cross section for $γν\toγγν$ when $\sqrt{s}>13 $ GeV. We demonstrate that the scattered photons are circularly polarized and the net value of the polarization is non-zero. Astrophysical implications of high energy photon-neutrino scattering are discussed.

A Functional Investigation of Mutations Associated with Hypertrophic and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Creators: name: Dyer, Emma Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The mutations E361G and E99K in the cardiac actin gene cause dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy respectively. Transgenic mouse models have been developed that over-express these mutations in their hearts. Mutant protein was expressed at 50% of to tal actin. Thin filaments were reconstituted with mouse actin, human cardiac tropomyosin and troponin, and studied by in vitro motility assay. Phosphorylated E361G and non-transgenic thin filaments were indistinguishable at all Ca2+-concentrations (EC50 NTg/E361G =1.07±0.11, p=0.59). E361G-actin reconstituted with dephosphorylated troponin had a lower Ca2+-sensitivity than non-transgenic (EC50 NTg/E361G = 0.47±0.09, p=0.01). When we compared E361G thin filaments containing phosphorylated and dephosphorylated troponin, the Ca2+-sensitivity was indistinguishable (EC50 E361G/E361G.dp = 1.03±0.08, p=0.74). This is in contrast to non-transgenic actin, where the EC50 of the phosphorylated thin filament was 3-times greater than dephosphorylated (p=0.003). The major functional change induced by the E361G mutation was therefore the abolition of the response to troponin phosphorylation. This would blunt the inotropic response in vivo and be the cause of the E361G DCM phenotype. The in vitro motility technique was extended to measure α-actinin binding affinity. The E361G mutant actin had a 5.3-fold reduced affinity for α-actinin, indicating a weaker attachment of filaments at the Z-line. Investigation of the DCM-causing mutation TNNC1 G159D in troponin isolated from human muscle showed a higher Ca2+ sensitivity with native phosphorylation levels (EC50 NF/G159D = 4.67±1.87) and upon dephosphorylation (EC50 NF/G159D = 1.77±0.29). G159D thin filaments also blunted the change in Ca2+-sensitivity when dephosphorylated (EC50 G159D/G159D.dp =1.24±0.17). The E99K mutation produced a strikingly different pattern of results to DCM mutations of an increased Ca2+-sensitivity and faster cross-bridge cycling rate, with phosphorylated (EC50 NTg/E99K = 2.54±0.64, p=0.07) and dephosphorylated troponin (EC50 NTg/E99K =1.2). The E99K mutation also 3 produced a reduced but not completely suppressed response to troponin phosphorylation (EC50 E99K/E99K.dp = 1.14±0.06, p=0.12).

description: In this paper we consider the relation between the spectrum and the number of short cycles in large graphs. Suppose $G_1, G_2, G_3, \ldots$ is a sequence of finite and connected graphs that share a common universal cover $T$ and such that the proportion of eigenvalues of $G_n$ that lie within the support of the spectrum of $T$ tends to 1 in the large $n$ limit. This is a weak notion of being Ramanujan. We prove such a sequence of graphs is asymptotically locally tree-like. This is deduced by way of an analogous theorem proved for certain infinite sofic graphs and unimodular networks, which extends results for regular graphs and certain infinite Cayley graphs.
