A Boundless Space: The Amazon and the Building of the Brazilian Empire
Creators: name: Sánchez Román, José Antonio
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Latin Americans

description: Businessmen, military, politicians, intellectuals and other members of Brazilian elites have perceived the Amazon region not only as a possible source of natural resources but also as a threat to the building of the state and the territorial existence of the nation. This perception originated in the mid-nineteenth century and still survives today, even beyond elite's circles. This papers deals with the reasons for this anxiety about the Amazon and the different forms that these fears adopted.

description: We construct model wavefunctions for the collective modes of fractional quantum Hall systems. The wavefunctions are expressed in terms of symmetric polynomials characterized by a root partition and a "squeezed" basis, and show excellent agreement with exact diagonalization results for finite systems. In the long wavelength limit, the model wavefunctions reduce to those predicted by the single-mode approximation, and remain accurate at energies above the continuum of roton pairs.

The Rites of Statehood: Violence and Sovereignty in Spanish America, 1789-1821
Creators: name: Jeremy, Adelman
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: History

description: This essay explores the varieties of expressions of political violence during the revolutionary conjuncture, 1789 to 1821, across Spanish America from New Spain to Buenos Aires. It challenges some of the familiar ways in which historians have pointed to violence as an inevitable effect of the end of empire, and instead argues that violence became a means to engage in the political process that brought down empire. At the same time, it argues that the role of violence in bringing down the old regime and creating new institutions and habits of rule and protest was at least as important as the role of the public sphere and elections, which historians have recently accented. Indeed, the essay suggests ways in which historians of the public sphere might consider the rituals and languages of violence as part of public conduct, while it was the opening of the public sphere that created a means, or space, to push vindictive patterns of violence into more vindictive directions. Violence was not of a piece, a constant display of carnage. The essay accordingly seeks to illustrate the varieties of uses of political violence and its changes over time, from the first crises of the 1790s to the widespread savagery of the 1810s.

Relationship between hydrogen sulphide (H2S) distribution and regional burial/uplift history in the Lower Triassic Montney Formation, northeastern British Columbia, Canada

description: Understanding a basin’s thermal history is essential when examining past and current fluid distributions. Knowledge of the origin of non-hydrocarbon gases, including hydrogen sulphide (H2S), aids in understanding the complex organic-inorganic interactions that control basin evolution. This study provides a preliminary workflow to estimate the regional burial and uplift/erosion history of the Lower Triassic Montney Formation using a Lower Cretaceous Mannville Group vitrinite reflectance dataset. The calculated maximum burial is a first-order thermal maturity proxy. Results show variations in regional Montney burial and uplift. Specifically, increased uplift/erosion in the central area of the Montney and relatively less uplift and erosion toward the southern extent of the play. To better understand controls on the highly variable H2S distribution, identified facies are constrained within a detailed stratigraphic framework in northeastern British Columbia, highlighting the vertical and lateral facies heterogeneity (Township 79-81 and Ranges 18-14). Additionally, local structural lineaments may have influenced fluid migration. Sulphate-rich fluids migrating through fractures may preferentially enter laterally permeable units. Due to regional burial history variations, fracture cementation is likely non-uniform, meaning not all fractures are fluid conduits. Depending on the location within the basin, a once permeable unit may now have diagenetic cementation, creating lateral permeability variations for sulphate-rich fluid migration. The current Montney Formation H2S content predominantly results from in situ thermochemical sulphate reduction (TSR). The regional burial variations result in thermal differences, implying that TSR should also be non-uniform across the Montney. Upper Montney H2S concentration increases eastward within the study area, likely due to up-dip migration through permeable coarser-grained siltstones and trapping due to stratigraphic pinch out. Additionally, the elevated H2S is likely influenced by extraformational factors, including eastward thinning of the Middle Triassic succession, bringing the evaporite-rich Charlie Lake Formation into proximity with the Montney. Moreover, the Sunset Prairie Formation directly overlies the Montney and has an erosional edge that correlates to elevated Upper Montney H2S. Both relationships may lead to more significant amounts of sulphate minerals in the east supplying the sulphate required to generate H2S via TSR.

Structural studies of gelsolin and binding partners
Creators: name: Loonchanta, Anantasak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Gelsolin is composed of six similarly folded domains, G1 through G6. It controls actin dynamics through its calcium-sensitive ability to bind to, sever, and cap F-actin filaments. This project was designed to test and extend current models for gelsolin activity by growing crystals of intact gelsolin or large fragments of gelsolin in protein complexes with its main target, actin, as well as with specialized gelsolin-specific antibody fragments, nanobodies. Gelsolin-specific nanobodies (GsnVHH) may serve to lock in either resting or activated forms of gelsolin structure, but are of intrinsic interest on their own in that they have potential therapeutic value. This thesis describes cloning, expression, purification, activity assays, crystallization details, and solution of the structures of six proteins and protein complexes. 1) Recombinant human G1-G3 bound to natural source rabbit actin (G1-G3:actin). The present structure is to a higher resolution than earlier ones, providing increased confidence in positioning of amino acid side chains and bound Ca²⁺ ions. 2) Isolated, activated gelsolin domain G3. While not previously reported in the literature, this structure is virtually identical to that observed for activated G3 within the G1-G3:actin complex. 3) Activated recombinant human G4-G6. The source material and crystallization conditions are different from those reported elsewhere, but the results confirm that the C-terminal half of gelsolin can be fully activated in the presence of Ca²⁺, even in the absence of actin. 4) and 5) Two crystal structures of GsnVHH11. This nanobody had not previously been crystallized. The two structures differ in the path of the CDR1 loop that is involved in binding gelsolin. 6) GsnVHH9. The results, from different materials and crystallization conditions than previously reported, confirm the validity of the previous structure. Finally, runs using in silico protein-protein docking software suggest possible binding sites for GsnVHH11 and GsnVHH13 on activated G2-G3 and activated G4-G6, respectively.
Postnatal Impact of Bisphenol S Exposure on Oxidative Stress-Mediated Endothelial Dysfunction

description: Bisphenols are synthetic polymers used in the production of household plastics; exposure to this compound has been associated with a multitude of adverse health outcomes. Bisphenol A (BPA) is the most well known and widely studied bisphenol. After several countries introduced regulatory bans on the sale and import of baby products containing BPA, manufacturers replaced BPA with structural analogues such as BPS and BPF. Although links between BPA exposure and reproductive, developmental, and metabolic diseases have been widely reported, few studies have investigated the impact of BPA on the vasculature and very little is known regarding the structural analogues that are increasingly replacing BPA. Bisphenols have been shown to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in different cell types. Excess ROS in endothelial cells interacts with nitric oxide (NO), reducing is bioavailability. Therefore, BPS-induced ROS production in endothelial cells may impair NO-mediated vasodilation. Aim 1 of this study sought to determine whether BPS exposure decreases NO availability through the increased production of ROS. Findings demonstrated increased ROS production, decreased NO availability and uncoupling of endothelium NO synthase (eNOS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)exposed to BPS. RT-qPCR analysis determined that BPS reduced expression of antioxidant genes, while activity of the antioxidant was inhibited with BPS exposure. Aim 2 of this study determined whether postnatal exposure to BPS in C57BL/J6 mice impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in resistance vessels. Male and female mice were exposed to an environmentally relevant dose of BPS from the age of weaning (3 weeks) to early adulthood (12 weeks). Pressure myography evaluation of isolated mesenteric arteries demonstrated a reduced maximal response (Emax) to the NO-dependent dilator, methacholine, BPS-exposed male mice. Postnatal exposure in vivo had no measured effect on bodyweight, body composition, insulin sensitivity, or serum lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, BPS exposure reduced NO availability, leading to impaired endothelium-dependent dilation in the microvessels due toROS-mediated eNOS uncoupling. Therefore, exposure to BPS may contribute to the onset of vascular disease

description: The Council Regulation (EC) 1085/2006 adopted in 17 July 2006 and its implementation defined in Commission Regulation (EC) 718/2007, created the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA).Very similar like the previous funds: PHARE, CARDS, SAPARD, ISPA, IPA funds operate in the same direction for the pre-accession countries, the primary goal is to better implement the EU Structural Funds and help the countries as Albania that are on the way to join the Union to learn how to manage them. The principal research objective of the paper is: presenting the role of the current EU funds, especially (IPA) funds eligible for Albania, the institutional capacity of the governmental organizations in the country to implement in indirect mode the (IPA) funds. The scope of the research in this paper is covering explanation of the above-mentioned objective and will depends on the knowledge and available data that exists in the literature and practice about the indirect implementation of (IPA) funds in Albania. In correlation with the main objective and scope of the analysis in the paper, the research will concentrate in answering the following research questions: What are the current EU funds available for Albania? How (IPA) funds are used and implemented? What are the achievements and challenges encountered so for by the institutions involved in the indirect management of IPA funds? For the purpose of writing the paper, its employed a combination of different methodology aspects that are based on content analysis of various governmental documents and research papers that are dealing with (IPA) funds. The analizies made show that EU remains by far the first donor in Albania and that IPA assistance has widely contributed to this EU integration mile-stone achievement with a number of successful projects to advice on key reforms (e.g. judiciary) and facilitate their implementation, as well as capacity building projects to strengthen public administration and service delivery. Eventhough 2016 is the 3rd year operating in indirect managment mode, the strucutres fails to aborb the full assitance provided. The main bottleneck in the implemenation of IPA funds remains the lack of human recourse capacities, followed by complex and newly procedures to which the structures invloved have to be acquainted.

Propaganda on all sides focused on three interrelated issues to endorse the decision to enter the conflict: international and natural law, concepts of civilization and barbarism, and the challenge of modernity. For all the connections between such themes, propaganda could also contain tensions, the public selecting ideas that bolstered their own personal beliefs on the origins of the conflict. This essay draws together contemporary claims to “legitimate authority”, particularly during the early years of war, and considers how those positions were made acceptable to the public.

Non--global logs and clustering impact on jet mass with a jet veto distribution

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: There has recently been much interest in analytical computations of jet mass distributions with and without vetos on additional jet activity [1-6]. An important issue affecting such calculations, particularly at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy, is that of non-global logarithms as well as logarithms induced by jet definition, as we pointed out in an earlier work [3]. In this paper, we extend our previous calculations by independently deriving the full jet-radius analytical form of non-global logarithms, in the anti-$\kt$ jet algorithm. Employing the small-jet radius approximation, we also compute, at fixed-order, the effect of jet clustering on both $\CF^{2}$ and $\CF\CA$ colour channels. Our findings for the $\CF\CA$ channel confirm earlier analytical calculations of non-global logarithms in soft-collinear effective theory [5]. Moreover, all of our results, as well as those of [3], are compared to the output of the numerical program \texttt{EVENT2}. We find good agreement between analytical and numerical results both with and without final state clustering.

description: Public investment has always been a subject of debate between analysts of the economy, both at political and institutional level. But every times that have been spoken about them, elements of political nature have been touched. The focus was on local and central government investment. But these are not all. If we carefully analyze the data we will find high levels of investment realized and from the central banking institution of the country. Like any central bank in developed market economies, the Bank of Albania also invests in domestic and foreign financial instruments. But while investments in treasury notes, treasury bills and treasury bonds of the Albanian Government may occur to be carried out in the function of monetary policy, foreign-currency investment in securities has a strong financial character for profit purpose. Of course the auditing the performance of these investments is a public need in order to improve the quality of public funds management by the central bank. The independence of this institution is a matter that requires care during the audit trail. These issues, which relate to the public audit need of public investments of the Bank of Albania and the care of the institution's non-threatening independence, are the focus of this paper

description: The Mortera-Cognitive Screening Measure (M-CSM) is a non-standardized screening instrument used to assess selected cognitive processes in adult individuals with acquired brain injury. Screening of cognitive function involves the structured observation and documentation of an individual's behaviors during the performance of a functional task. A functional task is a complete activity that is familiar to the individual and part of his or her daily routine. The M-CSM is designed to assess cognitive processes in the following categories: sustained attention, shifting attention, visual-attention scanning, awareness of disability, judgment relative to safety, recall, and planning/problem-solving. The M-CSM is used to identify general areas of function and dysfunction in order to determine what cognitive processes are in need of further assessment. Initial content validity has been demonstrated in the M-CSM for the areas of sustained attention, shifting attention, visual-attention scanning, recall, awareness of disability, judgment relative to safety, and planning/problem-solving. Initial interrater reliability for the M-CSM has been demonstrated with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of .83.
The effects of sub-shells in highly magnetized relativistic flows

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Astrophysical sources of relativistic jets or outflows, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), active galactic nuclei (AGN) or micro-quasars, often show strong time variability. Despite such impulsive behavior, most models of these sources assume a steady state for simplicity. Here I consider a time-dependent outflow that is initially highly magnetized and divided into many well-separated sub-shells, as it experiences impulsive magnetic acceleration and interacts with the external medium. In AGN the deceleration by the external medium is usually unimportant and most of the initial magnetic energy is naturally converted into kinetic energy, leading to efficient dissipation in internal shocks as the sub-shells collide. Such efficient low-magnetization internal shocks can also naturally occur in GRBs, where the deceleration by the external medium can be important. A strong low-magnetization reverse shock can develop, and the initial division into sub-shells allows it to be relativistic and its emission to peak on the timescale of the prompt GRB duration (which is not possible for a single shell). Sub-shells also enable the outflow to reach much higher Lorentz factors that help satisfy existing constraints on GRBs from intrinsic pair opacity and from the afterglow onset time.

Making use of a natural experiment that altered the regulatory and competitive environment, we find evidence that such lending was used to transfer revenues from the banks to the governments. Some of the evidence is particularly pronounced in localities where the incumbent politicians face significant competition for reelection.

description: Using density functional theory, we examine a nitrogen-doped anionic golden cage (NAu$_{16}^-$). For the exohedral adsorption that is more stable than the endohedral doping, the bridge and hollow sites have larger binding energies than the atop sites by ~1 eV. When the N atom is adsorbed on the cage, electrons are transferred from Au$_{16}^-$ to the N atom. The transition between the exohedral and endohedral adsorption may occur thermally through a bridge site. In the infrared active vibrational spectra, exohedral doping causes greater intensities at higher frequencies than endohedral doping.

Quantum control of binary and many-body interactions in ultracold molecular gases

description: Ultracold molecules are expected to find applications in cold chemistry, quantum phases, precision measurements and quantum information. In this thesis three novel applications of cold molecules are studied. First the thesis presents a general method for coherent control of collisions between non-identical particles. It is shown that by preparing two alkali-metal atoms in a superposition of hyperfine states, the elastic-to-inelastic cross section ratio can be manipulated at ultracold temperatures by tuning laser parameters in the presence of a magnetic field. The static field is needed to induce quantum interference between scattering states. Extensions of this scheme for ultracold molecular reactive scattering are discussed. Second, the thesis describes rotational excitons and polarons in molecular ensembles trapped in optical lattices. Rotational excitons can be manipulated using static electric and magnetic fields. For a one-dimensional molecular array with substitutional impurities any localized exciton state can be delocalized by applying a suitable electric field. The electric field induces correlations between diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. It is also shown that the translational motion of polar molecules in an optical lattice can lead to phonons. The lattice dynamics and the phonon spectrum depend on the strength and orientation of a static electric field. An array of polar molecules in an optical lattice can be described by generalized polaron model with tunable parameters including diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon interactions. It is shown that in a strong electric field the system is described by a generalized Holstein model, and at weak electric fields by the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. The possibility of observing a sharp polaron transition in the SSH model using polar alkali-metal dimers is discussed. Finally, the thesis presents a method to generate entanglement of polar molecules using strong off-resonant laser pulses. Bipartite entanglement between alkali-metal dimers separated by hundreds of nanometers can be generated. Maximally entangled states can be prepared by tuning the pulse intensity and duration. A scheme is proposed to observe the violation of Bell’s inequality based on molecular orientation correlation measurements. It is shown that using a combination of microwave and off-resonant optical pulses, arbitrary tripartite and many-particle states can be prepared.

description: De Haan and Pereira (2006) provided models for spatial extremes in the case of stationarity, which depend on just one parameter β > 0 measuring tail dependence, and they proposed different estimators for this parameter. This framework was supplemented in Falk (2011) by establishing local asymptotic normality (LAN) of a corresponding point process of exceedances above a high multivariate threshold, yielding in particular asymptotic efficient estimators. The estimators investigated in these papers are based on a finite set of points t1,...,td, at which observations are taken. We generalize this approach in the context of functional extreme value theory (EVT). This more general framework allows estimation over some spatial parameter space, i.e., the finite set of points t1,...,td is replaced by t in [a,b]. In particular, we derive efficient estimators of β based on those processes in a sample of iid processes in C[0,1] which exceed a given threshold function.

description: Individuals with more richly pigmented skin face unique challenges due to increased susceptibility and recurrence of pigmentary alteration following skin inflammation, infection or injury. Recent research suggests that oral tranexamic acid (TXA) is a safe and effective means of treating pigmentary disorders. However, the efficacy and tolerability of TXA in those with Fitzpatrick skin types III-VI remains unexplored. A systematic search was conducted using Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases from inception until August 2023 to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral TXA in the treatment, management, or prevention of pigmentary disorders. A total of 32 studies were included describing 2,715 individuals. Investigations in the treatment of melasma was most common, followed by other pigmentary disorders including lichen planus pigmentosus, solar lentigines, Riehl's melanosis, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Within the melasma cohort, assessments consistently indicated significant improvements amongst most studies. However, post-treatment recurrence was reported to be as high as 80%. Mixed levels of improvements were also reported for other pig-mentary disorders, with most reports indicating moderate to good outcomes with no significant recurrence. Overall, oral TXA was largely well-tolerated, with adverse reactions most frequently including gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, and menstrual irregularities. Oral TXA has shown promise in treating pigmentary disorders in more richly pigmented skin; however, recurrence rates, notably in melasma patients, remain a concern. Further research into its role as an adjuvant therapy and determining optimal treatment duration could offer insights into reducing relapses.

description: An integrative review protocol
description: Aim: The aim of this integrative review is to explore the extent and nature of evidence concerning factors that influence use of nonpharmacological treatment interventions for community-dwelling seniors with mild-to-moderate dementia. Background: Despite the significance of nonpharmacological interventions in optimal management of mild-to-moderate dementia, it is unclear in the literature how seniors with mild or moderate dementia view, understand, and access nonpharmacological interventions. To our knowledge, no review has been conducted on factors influencing the use of nonpharmacological interventions for seniors with mild-to-moderate dementia. Design: An integrative review method will be used to meet the review objective. Review method: We will perform a systematic literature search from five electronic databases to locate relevant empirical and theoretical research evidence on the topic. Eligible studies include empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative methods, and theoretical studies published since 2000 in English, that explored factors influencing use of community-based nonpharmacological interventions for seniors with mild or moderate dementia. Eligibility criteria are studies that included community-dwelling seniors (≥ 65) with mild-to-moderate dementia, their care partners, or health care practitioners and that explored the use of community-based nonpharmacological dementia treatments. We will extract the data by creating matrices on quality appraisal, key methodological features, and key findings. Data analysis will include constant comparison of extracted data, examining relationships between concepts, overall strengths and weaknesses of the literature, and gaps in knowledge. Findings will be visually categorized and narratively summarized. Discussion: This integrative review will identify and synthesize enablers and barriers that influence use of nonpharmacological interventions by seniors with mild-to-moderate dementia, identify knowledge gaps, and inform future research studies and literature reviews.
