description: In the past decades, determinants and Pfaffians were found for eigenvalue correlations of various random matrix ensembles. These structures simplify the average over a large number of ratios of characteristic polynomials to integrations over one and two characteristic polynomials only. Up to now it was thought that determinants occur for ensembles with Dyson index $β=2$ whereas Pfaffians only for ensembles with $β=1,4$. We derive a non-trivial Pfaffian determinant for $β=2$ random matrix ensembles which is similar to the one for $β=1,4$. Thus, it unveils a hidden universality of this structure. We also give a general relation between the orthogonal polynomials related to the determinantal structure and the skew-orthogonal polynomials corresponding to the Pfaffian. As a particular example we consider the chiral unitary ensembles in great detail.

Il “Saul” di Vittorio Alfieri
Creators: name: Trivero, Paola
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: My paper analyzes Vittorio Alifieri’s tragedy Saul. The author writes the tragedy after reading
the Bible, and particularly Samuel’s first book. Alfieri is enthusiastic about the biblical text,
thanks to its “sublime” theme and style, very useful for adapting the story as a tragedy. Alfieri
creates Saul without betraying the spirit of the source text – he underlines the king of Israel’s
ambivalent behavior toward his son-in-law David, whom he loves and hates at the same time.
From this perspective, Saul is quite a different character from the other “tyrants” from Alfieri’s
other tragedies. In his own words, the author finds in Saul «that uncertainty of the human heart,
so magical; so, a man loving two loves opposite to one another, wants and does not want the very
same thing. This uncertainty is one of the major secrets for generating emotion and suspension in
a theatre». And Alfieri makes it. He himself plays Saul on stage, many times, since he considers
him his “dearest” character – according to the author, in this character there is «everything,
absolutely everything». Moreover, Saul has been staged with the most famous actors all along the
Nineteenth and Twentieth century.

description: Objective. The objective of this narrative review is to consider the impact of various levels of obesity upon psycho-social health. Methods. Information obtained from Ovid/Medline and Google Scholar through to September 2018 was supplemented by a search of the author's personal files. Results. Overweight and obesity predispose to a variety of significant practical and psycho-social problems. At school, there are issues of bullying, exclusion from sports, a poor self-image, adverse teacher evaluations and academic grades. Adults also face many issues in their daily life such as the finding of appropriate clothing, difficulties in travel and the use of public seating, medical discrimination, and reduced employment and marital prospects. Taken together these cause a reduced quality of life, with an increased risk of anxiety and depression, and a propensity to suicide attempts. Conclusions. The adverse psycho-social consequences of an excessive body weight are a significant handicap, and they offer further ammunition that can be exploited by fitness professionals as they encourage participation in and adherence to weight-control programmes.

description: The study focused on developing a rapid PCR-based detection method and employing gamma irradiation techniques to manage Ralstonia solanacearum, aiming to produce brown rot-free export-quality potatoes. This initiative seeks to enhance potato exports from Bangladesh. Samples of potato tubers and soil were collected from various commercially significant potato-growing areas, resulting in a total of 168 Ralstonia solanacearum isolates from potato tubers and soil across 12 regions. The detection of R. solanacearum in the enriched tuber extract and soil were conducted using the primer pairs (PS-1, PS-2) and (759, 760). For the gamma irradiation experiment, petri dishes containing R. solanacearum cultures were subjected to different doses of gamma rays at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture using a 60Co source. The irradiation doses applied to the samples were 0–6.0KGy. Morphological identification based on pink/light red colonies on TTC medium was confirmed R. solanacearum in 148 isolates. PCR using species-specific primers (PS-1/PS-2) and (759, 760) verified 26 isolates (14 tubers, 12 soil), producing 553 bp and 281 bp fragments in latently infected tubers and soil samples respectively. Gamma irradiation at 2.5 kGy damaged R. solanacearum’s DNA and cells, preventing brown rot, while higher doses eliminated it entirely. This offers a promising strategy to enhance safety of stored potatoes, potentially mitigating economic losses from this quarantine pathogen. The study developed a PCR detection method and gamma irradiation techniques to manage R. solanacearum, enhancing the export quality of potatoes.

description: We formulate N-fold supersymmetry in quantum mechanical systems with reflection operators. As in the cases of other systems, they possess the two significant characters of N-fold supersymmetry, namely, almost isospectrality and weak quasi-solvability. We construct explicitly the most general 1- and 2-fold supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems with reflections. In the case of N=2, we find that there are seven inequivalent such systems, three of which are characterized by three arbitrary functions having definite parity while the other four of which are by two. In addition, four of the seven inequivalent systems do not reduce to ordinary quantum systems without reflections. Furthermore, in certain particular cases, they are essentially equivalent to the most general two-by-two Hermitian matrix 2-fold supersymmetric quantum systems obtained previously by us.

description: Background: According to the WHO the overweight disorder is defined as the excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. The purpose of this study was to explore the healthy way of prevention and treatment of overweight (the physical activities and professional nutritional advice).

Methods: 15 morphometric and 5 physiological variables were measured on 62 male entities of the Kosovo Albanian population aged 12–56 years, during the period May-Nov/2013. To find out the influence of the programmed exercises on body composition and physiological features of the entity, the measurements have been done three times: initial measurements, transitive measurements, and final measurements. The morpho-physiological variations of entities have been estimated based on the values of body weight, physiological variables, and variables that indicate body composition and daily energetic expenditure. The obtained data were analyzed in terms of basic statistical parameters, whilst the differences between three done measurements on the same group were analyzed by Paired Samples t-test.

Results: The obtained results indicate that following a month-long program of adequate programmed exercises have been achieved significant morpho-functional changes of the body. Except the systolic blood pressure that shows moderate significant change (p<0.05), all other measured morpho-functional variables show high significant changes (p<0.01).

Conclusions: Results of this research indicate the obesity condition as the preventable and curable condition that can be prevented and treated with healthy methods such as physical activities and nutritive advice.

description: Background: Oculomotor control assessed via the antisaccade task has shown to be sensitive to change following exercise programs in older adult populations. The antisaccade task has been shown to be associated with executive function. However, this task has not been assessed in adults over 80 years of age. Purpose:The purpose of this investigation was to determine the feasibility of the antisaccade task in octogenarians over a 6-month period and determine if any change in reaction time (RT) occurs. Methods: The subjects participated in a 12-week Square-stepping exercise (SSE) program (over a 6-month period). The feasibility and change of an executive-related oculomotor task required participants to look mirror-symmetrical to a target (i.e., antisaccades), which were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Results: Seven adults (85.4 years old, SD=3.2; Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of 22.6, SD=3.5) out of a larger cluster of 71 completed assessments at baseline and post-intervention. Results showed no reliable change in antisaccade RT from baseline (360 ms, SD=37) to post-intervention (361 ms, SD=40); however, a decrease in RT variability was observed during this time frame (i.e., baseline: 23 ms, SD=12; post-intervention: 15 ms, SD=13). Conclusions: Oculomotor assessments have limited feasibility in elderly adults with cognitive impairment due to age-related eye disease. Furthermore, our results demonstrated maintenance of executive control and improved post-intervention planning stability in an elderly population at risk for further cognitive decline; further investigation with a control group is required.

Moses revisited. August Strindberg’s and Edvard Munch’s dramatic use of the figure of Moses

description: In this essay I explore the literary interpretation of the figure of Moses in August
Strindberg’s and Edvard Munch’s contemporary plays, Genom öknar till arvland (Through Deserts to Ancestral Lands,
 1903) and Den fri Kjærligheds By (The City of Free Love, ca. 1905). In the first case, the focus is on the
examination of Moses as an archetypical character. Analogies are subsequently drawn between the biblical
hero and other dramatic characters in the production of the Swedish playwright, such as Gustav Vasa or Birger
jarl. In the latter case, I outline the strategy for a parodic reuse of the biblical source in Munch’s
invention of a modern Moses created to mock his fellow painter and maestro Christian Krohg and the bohemian
ideal of free love. Although the qualities of the Moses character take on different and opposite meanings
in the two authors, it is of interest that the issue of a return to the common heritage of biblical culture
should make itself evident in the years following both Strindberg’s and Munch’s farewell to the secular
milieus of the Bohème.

description: We analyze 3D flight paths of bumblebees searching for nectar in a laboratory experiment with and without predation risk from artificial spiders. For the flight velocities we find mixed probability distributions reflecting the access to the food sources while the threat posed by the spiders shows up only in the velocity correlations. The bumblebees thus adjust their flight patterns spatially to the environment and temporally to predation risk. Key information on response to environmental changes is contained in temporal correlation functions, as we explain by a simple emergent model.

description: This study assessed the cardioprotective effects of <1 kDa peptide fractions from neem seed protein hydrolysates (NSPHs) in cardiac tissues ex vivo. Oxidative injury was induced in cardiac tissues from male Wister rats by incubating with 0.1 mM FeSO4 (pro-oxidant) for 30 minutes. Untreated tissues lacked peptide fractions, while normal control tissues lacked peptide and pro-oxidant. Treatment with the peptides increased the activities/levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase, ENTPDase, 5’NTPDase, glutathione, and HDL-cholesterol. Conversely, the levels/activities of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, ACE, acetylcholinesterase, ATPase decreased following treatment with NSPH peptide fractions. Furthermore, the peptides depleted oxidative metabolites, while concomitantly inactivating plasmalogen synthesis and beta-oxidation of long-chain saturated fatty acids. These findings suggest that <1 kDa peptide fractions from neem seed protein hydrolysates have cardioprotective properties, potentially offering a natural therapeutic option for managing oxidative cardiac dysfunction through the regulation of oxidative stress, cholinesterase and purinergic activities, and lipid metabolism.
High-order Wave Propagation Algorithms for Hyperbolic Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We present a finite volume method that is applicable to hyperbolic PDEs including spatially varying and semilinear nonconservative systems. The spatial discretization, like that of the well-known Clawpack software, is based on solving Riemann problems and calculating fluctuations (not fluxes). The implementation employs weighted essentially non-oscillatory reconstruction in space and strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta integration in time. The method can be extended to arbitrarily high order of accuracy and allows a well-balanced implementation for capturing solutions of balance laws near steady state. This well-balancing is achieved through the $f$-wave Riemann solver and a novel wave-slope WENO reconstruction procedure. The wide applicability and advantageous properties of the method are demonstrated through numerical examples, including problems in nonconservative form, problems with spatially varying fluxes, and problems involving near-equilibrium solutions of balance laws.

Placer gold microchemical characterization and shape analysis applied as an exploration tool in western Yukon
Creators: name: Wrighton, Timothy Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Western Yukon is underlain by metamorphic, extrusive and intrusive rocks that are associated with a variety of orogenic, epithermal and porphyry-style mineral occurrences. This region is unglaciated, exhibits poor bedrock exposure and contains abundant and, in some cases, unusually rich residual placer gold deposits. The methodology employed here involves the analysis of gold alloy composition and gold inclusion mineralogy using SEM-based techniques (microchemical characterization), in addition to quantitative morphological studies that utilize image analysis. Integration of this information with data from conventional exploration techniques provide: (1) better characterization of the diversity of gold types derived from bedrock sources (multiple sources vs. variation within a single source); and (2) information on source location. Compositional analyses have been collected for 4,100 placer gold grains, of which 2,989 grains have been analyzed for both morphological and compositional data. Placer gold samples were collected from 33 localities from five major drainages: Henderson, Tenmile and Thistle creeks (White Gold District) and Mechanic, Revenue and Seymour creeks (Dawson Range). This study applies the shape evolution model of Crawford (2007) in several drainages in western Yukon to generate statistical predictions of source locations. Furthermore, through refinements made during this study, computational processes involved in this analysis are now automated through the development of new computer software. Correlation of the nature and extent of compositional variation within in situ gold from the White Deposit area with that of the associated placers, has allowed the confident prediction that similar mineralization is present in the Thistle Creek drainage. Regionally, most orogenic placer gold may be characterized as either As-bearing (e.g. Tenmile and Sixtymile creeks) or Te-bearing (e.g. Thistle Creek). Gold from Eureka Creek has been reclassified as orogenic as a consequence of characterizing the range of regional orogenic gold signatures. Mechanic and Revenue creeks gold exhibit a diagnostic Pb-Bi sulphide, bismuthinite (Bi₂S₃) and tetradymite assemblage, a mineral association observed within the Nucleus-Revenue Au-Cu porphyry deposit located in their headwaters. This gold type is observed surrounding additional Au-Cu porphyry systems (Casino and Sonora Gulch) that belong to a common metallogenic event in early Late Cretaceous time.

description: Starting from a microscopic itinerant model, we derive and analyze the effective low-energy model for collective magnetic excitations in the iron pnictides. We show that the stripe magnetic order is generally preempted by an Ising-nematic order which breaks $C_{4}$ lattice symmetry but preserves O(3) spin-rotational symmetry. This leads to a rich phase diagram as function of doping, pressure, and elastic moduli, displaying split magnetic and nematic tri-critical points. The nematic transition may instantly bring the system to the verge of a magnetic transition, or it may occur first, being followed by a magnetic transition at a lower temperature. In the latter case, the preemptive nematic transition is accompanied by either a jump or a rapid increase of the magnetic correlation length, triggering a pseudogap behavior associated with magnetic precursors. Furthermore, due to the distinct orbital character of each Fermi pocket, the nematic transition also induces orbital order. We compare our results to various experiments, showing that they correctly address the changes in the character of the magneto-structural transition across the phase diagrams of different compounds, as well as the relationship between the orthorhombic and magnetic order parameters.

Ship Management

description: This thesis explores the challenges and potential of technology integration in current ship management practices. While technology advancements were designed to be contributing to minimising task complexity, issues such as fatigue, increased administrative burden and technology assisted accidents still plague the industry. In spite of the clearly recognisable benefits of using modern technology in the management of ships, in practice its application appears lacking by a considerable margin. The main driver of the study was to appreciate the cause of this disparity. The study first reviewed a wide body of literature on issues involving the use of technology which included academic literature with empirical evidences and theoretical explanations of implementation of technology at work. With the help of the extant knowledge this research embarked on providing an explanation to the gap that existed in the application of technology in the shipping industry. By taking a case study approach the thesis looked into the induction and integration of technology in the management and operation of ships that primarily interfaced closely between the ship and its management unit on shore. Three companies with mutually diverse management setup were studied. The fourth case comprised of purposefully selected senior members of ships’ staff. The analysis of the data revealed that the manifestation of the gap in technology implementation is caused by deeper influences at work in the shipping industry. The un-optimised technology integration results in the seafarer, who is the keystone to the technology application, becoming a victim of the circumstances. The technology that was intended to ease operations and burdens ends up in controlling him, even leaving him under-resourced and causing fatigue.This was not an unintended outcome but the result of weak regulatory practices, short-term capital outlook and weakened labour practices in the shipping industry all caused by wider social and economic developments affecting not just this industry but businesses globally. The impact of such influences was however more acute in this industry resulting in such extreme consequence. By bringing to light the limited application of some fundamental principles of human-systems integration, this study has attempted to expand the boundaries of research on the subject and contributed to the holistic understanding of the various underlying factors that influence technology integration in ship management processes.

description: Electrical signaling via voltage-gated ion channels depends upon the function of a voltage sensor (VS), identified with the S1-S4 domain in voltage-gated K+ channels. Here we investigate some energetic aspects of the sliding-helix model of the VS using simulations based on VS charges, linear dielectrics and whole-body motion. Model electrostatics in voltage-clamped boundary conditions are solved using a boundary element method. The statistical mechanical consequences of the electrostatic configurational energy are computed to gain insight into the sliding-helix mechanism and to predict experimentally measured ensemble properties such as gating charge displaced by an applied voltage. Those consequences and ensemble properties are investigated for two alternate S4 configurations, α- and 3(10)-helical. Both forms of VS are found to have an inherent electrostatic stability. Maximal charge displacement is limited by geometry, specifically the range of movement where S4 charges and counter-charges overlap in the region of weak dielectric. Charge displacement responds more steeply to voltage in the α-helical than the 3(10)-helical sensor. This difference is due to differences on the order of 0.1 eV in the landscapes of electrostatic energy. As a step toward integrating these VS models into a full-channel model, we include a hypothetical external load in the Hamiltonian of the system and analyze the energetic in/output relation of the VS.

Immunization using the skin : using topical Toll-like receptor 9 agonists as a method to increase vaccine efficacy
Creators: name: Cheng, Wing Ki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Vaccination is a cost-effective method to prevent diseases. Yet, vaccine effectiveness remains lower than anticipated and infectious disease is still a leading cause of illness and death. Immunostimulatory oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG ODNs) activate Tolllike receptor 9 (TLR9), bridging innate and adaptive immune responses. CpG ODNs have been studied as adjuvants, agents to improve vaccine efficacy. However, split administration of topical TLR9 agonists with parenteral vaccines has been less explored. I hypothesized that topical CpG ODN 1826 activates the skin immune system in a unique fashion, increasing the efficacy of locally administered protein-based vaccines. I found that an effective strategy to administer CpG ODN was single dose topically at time of local parenteral vaccine delivery. The generation of antigen-specific antibodies, CD4⁺ T helper 1 cells and CD8⁺ T cells were augmented. In murine Listeria monocytogenes and influenza A infection models, application of topical CpG ODN at time of parenteral protein immunization reduced bacterial and viral burden. The mechanisms whereby topical CpG adjuvant improves vaccine outcomes were investigated. Using bone marrow chimeric mice, I found that TLR9 expression in the hematopoietic compartment was necessary while expression in the stromal compartment also contributed to the enhancement of specific CD8⁺ T cell generation. Keratinocytes responded to topical CpG ODN partly by up-regulating TLR9 expression. Topical CpG ODNs were internalized by CD11c⁺ cells and were detected within the skin draining lymph nodes (SLNs). Topical compared to subcutaneous administration of CpG ODN differentially modulated cytokine and chemokine gene expressions in the SLNs and induced a higher proportion of specific CD4⁺ T cells to express tissue-homing molecules. In the influenza model, topical CpG adjuvant increased the proportion of specific CD8⁺ memory T cells at the site of infection. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of a novel immunization strategy that separates topical CpG adjuvant from a protein-based vaccine in enhancing rapid and long-lasting protective humoral and cellular vaccine responses. These improved responses are the consequences of the activation of stromal and hematopoietic cells in the skin, which subsequently modulate the microenvironment of the SLNs and alter the migratory ability of the T cells to tissues.

description: Si les produits de la mer ne représentent qu’une faible part des protéines consommées en France (environ 15%), leur forte teneur en micronutriments essentiels justifie de s’interroger sur leur disponibilité future. Les activités humaines affectent la biogéographie des espèces, la productivité des populations et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes marins et devraient entraîner une diminution globale de la biomasse océanique, des captures halieutiques et de la production aquacole d’ici la fin du siècle. Cependant, de fortes variations régionales sont attendues, qui sont encore mal prédites par les modèles mondiaux.
Le projet FORESEA 2050 vise à intégrer les connaissances de plusieurs disciplines à différentes échelles, afin de produire des scénarios de pêche durable en France à l’horizon 2050, dans le contexte du changement global. Le projet combine scénarios prospectifs et modèles d’écosystèmes marins et vise plus spécifiquement à : i) fournir une description passée et actuelle de la chaîne d'approvisionnement en produits de la mer en France, de la biodiversité jusqu’au marché ; ii) comparer les modèles d'écosystèmes marins (MEM) existants pour les eaux françaises et étudier le potentiel d’amélioration de la description des composants clés ; iii) produire des scénarios prospectifs décrivant des trajectoires possibles de la pêche et de l’aquaculture française sous forçage climatique en 2050 ; iv) proposer des scénarios et projections de la biodiversité marine et des capture des pêcheries françaises dans les eaux domestiques à l'horizon 2050, afin d’évaluer la contribution des produits de la mer à la sécurité alimentaire française.

description: We demonstrate that the long-lived bound states (super-molecules) can exist in the dilute limit when we tune the shape of effective potential between polar molecules by an external microwave field. Binding energies, average sizes, and phase diagrams for both s-orbital (bosons) and p-orbital (fermions) dimers are studied, together with bosonic trimer states. We explicitly show that the non- adiabatic transition rate can be easily tuned small for such ground state super-molecules, so that the system can be stable from collapse even near the associated potential resonance. Our results, therefore, suggest a feasible cold molecule system to investigate both novel few-body and many-body physics (for example, the p-wave BCS-BEC crossover for fermions and the paired condensate for bosons) that can not be easily accessed in single species atomic gases.

title: Stochastic modeling with robust Kalman filter for real-time kinematic GPS single-frequency positioning

description: The centimeter-level positioning accuracy of real-time kinematic (RTK) depends on correctly resolving integer carrier-phase ambiguities. To improve the success rate of ambiguity resolution and obtain reliable positioning results, an enhanced Kalman filtering procedure has been developed. Based on a posteriori residuals of measurements and state predictions, the measurement noise variance-covariance matrix for double-differenced measurements is adaptively estimated, rather than approximated by an empirical function which uses satellite elevation angle as input. Since, in real-world situations, unexpected outliers and carrier-phase outages can degrade the filter performance, a stochastic model based on robust Kalman filtering is proposed, for which the double-differenced measurement noise variance-covariance matrix is computed empirically with a modified version of the IGG (Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics) III method in order to detect and identify outliers. The performance of the proposed method is assessed by two tests, one with simulated data and one with real data. In addition, the performance of F-ratio and W-ratio tests as proxies for the success of ambiguity fixing is investigated. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method can improve the reliability and robustness of relative kinematic positioning for simulation scenarios as well as in a real urban test.

Quantum field theory in static external potentials and Hadamard states
Creators: name: Wrochna, Michał
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We prove that the ground state for the Dirac equation on Minkowski space in static, smooth external potentials satisfies the Hadamard condition. We show that it follows from a condition on the support of the Fourier transform of the corresponding positive frequency solution. Using a Krein space formalism, we establish an analogous result in the Klein-Gordon case for a wide class of smooth potentials. Finally, we investigate overcritical potentials, i.e. which admit no ground states. It turns out, that numerous Hadamard states can be constructed by mimicking the construction of ground states, but this leads to a naturally distinguished one only under more restrictive assumptions on the potentials.

Asymmetric Origin for Gravitino Relic Density in the Hybrid Gravity-Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

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

description: We propose the hybrid gravity-gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking where the gravitino mass is about several GeV. The strong constraints on supersymmetry viable parameter space from the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC can be relaxed due to the heavy colored supersymmetric particles, and it is consistent with null results in the dark matter (DM) direct search experiments such as XENON100. In particular, the possible maximal flavor and CP violations from the relatively small gravity mediation may naturally account for the recent LHCb anomaly. In addition, because the gravitino mass is around the asymmetric DM mass, we propose the asymmetric origin of the gravitino relic density and solve the cosmological coincident problem on the DM and baryon densities Ω_{\rm DM}:Ω_{B}\approx 5:1. The gravitino relic density arises from asymmetric metastable particle (AMP) late decay. However, we show that there is no AMP candidate in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (SM) due to the robust gaugino/Higgsino mediated wash-out effects. Interestingly, AMP can be realized in the well motivated supersymmetric SMs with vector-like particles or continuous U(1)_R symmetry. Especially, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass can be lifted in the supersymmetric SMs with vector-like particles.
