description: The hydrogen-terminated Silicon(100)-2x1 surface (H-Si(100)-2x1) provides a promising platform for the development of atom scale devices, with recent work showing their creation through precise desorption of surface hydrogen atoms. While samples with relatively large areas of the hydrogen terminated 2x1 surface are routinely created using an in-situ methodology, surface defects are inevitably formed as well reducing the area available for patterning. Here, we present a catalog of several commonly found defects of the H-Si(100)-2x1 surface. By using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), we are able to extract useful information regarding the atomic and electronic structure of these defects. This allowed for the confirmation of literature assignments of several commonly found defects, as well as proposed classification of previously unreported and unassigned defects. By better understanding the structure and origin of these defects, we make the first steps toward enabling the creation of superior surfaces ultimately leading to more consistent and reliable fabrication of atom scale devices.
Conservation of nonlinear curvature perturbations on super-Hubble scales

description: We consider general, non-linear curvature perturbations on scales greater than the Hubble horizon scale by invoking an expansion in spatial gradients, the so-called gradient expansion. After reviewing the basic properties of the gradient expansion, we derive the conservation law for non-linear curvature perturbations for an isentropic fluid. We also define the gauge-invariant curvature perturbation under a finite shift of time-slicing, and derive the non-linear genralization of the $δN$ formalism. The results obtained are straight-forward generalisations of those already proven in linear perturbation theory, and the equations are simple, resembling closely the first-order equations.

description: The atom-optics kicked rotor can be used to prepare specific momentum distributions on a discrete basis set. We implement a continuous-time quantum walk and a quantum search protocol in this momentum basis. In particular we propose ways to identify a specific marked state from the final momentum distribution after the walker's evolution. Our protocol is guided by current experimental possibilities making it accessible to experimentally implemented quantum walks with Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: We present a multiscale description of hydrodynamic turbulence in incompressible fluid based on a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a stochastic hydrodynamics formalism. Defining the stirring random force by the correlation function of its wavelet components, we achieve the cancellation of loop divergences in the stochastic perturbation expansion. An extra contribution to the energy transfer from large to smaller scales is considered. It is shown that the Kolmogorov hypotheses are naturally reformulated in multiscale formalism. The multiscale perturbation theory and statistical closures based on the wavelet decomposition are constructed.

description: Background: Climate change is taking a toll on human health, and some leaders in the public health community have urged their colleagues to give voice to its health implications. Previous research has shown that Americans are only dimly aware of the health implications of climate change, yet the literature on issue framing suggests that providing a novel frame - such as human health - may be potentially useful in enhancing public engagement. We conducted an exploratory study in the United States of people's reactions to a public health-framed short essay on climate change. Methods: U.S. adult respondents (n = 70), stratified by six previously identified audience segments, read the essay and were asked to highlight in green or pink any portions of the essay they found especially clear and helpful or alternatively especially confusing or unhelpful. Two dependent measures were created: a composite sentence-specific score based on reactions to all 18 sentences in the essay; and respondents' general reactions to the essay that were coded for valence (positive, neutral, or negative). We tested the hypothesis that five of the six audience segments would respond positively to the essay on both dependent measures. Results: There was clear evidence that two of the five segments responded positively to the public health essay, and mixed evidence that two other responded positively. There was limited evidence that the fifth segment responded positively. Post-hoc analysis showed that five of the six segments responded more positively to information about the health benefits associated with mitigation-related policy actions than to information about the health risks of climate change. Conclusions: Presentations about climate change that encourage people to consider its human health relevance appear likely to provide many Americans with a useful and engaging new frame of reference. Information about the potential health benefits of specific mitigation-related policy actions appears to be particularly compelling. We believe that the public health community has an important perspective to share about climate change, a perspective that makes the problem more personally relevant, significant, and understandable to members of the public.

description: We study the dynamics of an atomic quantum dot, i.e. a single atom in a tight optical trap which is coupled to a superfluid reservoir via laser transitions. Quantum interference between the collisional interactions and the laser induced coupling to the phase fluctuations of the condensate results in a tunable coupling of the dot to a dissipative phonon bath, allowing an essentially complete decoupling from the environment. Quantum dots embedded in a 1D Luttinger liquid of cold bosonic atoms realize a spin-Boson model with ohmic coupling, which exhibits a dissipative phase transition and allows to directly measure atomic Luttinger parameters.

description: The possibility that the cosmic variance outliers present in the recently released WMAP multipole moments are due to oscillations in the primordial power spectrum is investigated. Since the most important contribution to the WMAP likelihood originates from the outliers at relatively small angular scale (around the first Doppler peak), special attention is paid to these in contrast with previous studies on the subject which have concentrated on the large scales outliers only (i.e. the quadrupole and octupole). As a physically motivated example, the case where the oscillations are of trans-Planckian origin is considered. It is shown that the presence of the oscillations causes an important drop in the WMAP chi square of about fifteen. The F-test reveals that such a drop has a probability less than 0.06% to occur by chance and can therefore be considered as statistically significant.

Understanding public opinion in debates over biomedical research : Looking beyond political partisanship to focus on beliefs about science and society

Publisher: name: American University

description: As social scientists have investigated the political and social factors influencing public opinion in science-related policy debates, there has been growing interest in the implications of this research for public communication and outreach. Given the level of political polarization in the United States, much of the focus has been on partisan differences in public opinion, the strategies employed by political leaders and advocates that promote those differences, and the counter-strategies for overcoming them. Yet this focus on partisan differences tends to overlook the processes by which core beliefs about science and society impact public opinion and how these schema are often activated by specific frames of reference embedded in media coverage and popular discourse. In this study, analyzing cross-sectional, nationally representative survey data collected between 2002 and 2010, we investigate the relative influence of political partisanship and science-related schema on Americans’ support for embryonic stem cell research. In comparison to the influence of partisan identity, our findings suggest that generalized beliefs about science and society were more chronically accessible, less volatile in relation to media attention and focusing events, and an overall stronger influence on public opinion. Classifying respondents into four unique audience groups based on their beliefs about science and society, we additionally find that individuals within each of these groups split relatively evenly by partisanship but differ on other important dimensions. The implications for public engagement and future research on controversies related to biomedical science are discussed.
Central Charges of 2d Superconformal Defects

description: In conformal field theories (CFTs) of dimension $d>3$, two-dimensional (2d) conformal defects are characterised in part by central charges defined via the defect's contribution to the trace anomaly. However, in general for interacting CFTs these central charges are difficult to calculate. For superconformal 2d defects in supersymmetric (SUSY) CFTs (SCFTs), we show how to compute these defect central charges from the SUSY partition function either on $S^d$ with defect along $S^2$, or on $S^1 \times S^{d-1}$ with defect along $S^1 \times S^1$. In the latter case we propose that defect central charges appear in an overall normalisation factor, as part of the SUSY Casimir energy. For 2d half-BPS defects in 4d ${\mathcal N}=2$ SCFTs and in the 6d ${\mathcal N}=(2,0)$ SCFT we obtain novel, exact results for defect central charges using existing results for partition functions computed using SUSY localisation, SUSY indices, and correspondences to 2d Liouville, Toda, and $q$-deformed Yang-Mills theories. Some of our results for defect central charges agree with those obtained previously via holography, showing that the latter are not just large-$N$ and/or strong-coupling limits, but are exact. Our methods can be straightforwardly extended to other superconformal defects, of various codimension, as we demonstrate for a 4d defect in the 6d ${\mathcal N}=(2,0)$ SCFT.

title: Regulation of the Nucleocytoplasmic Transport of HTLV-1 RNA.
Creators: name: King, Jason Anthony
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Human retroviruses exert a high level of control over their own gene expression as well as that of their host cell. In addition to the structural genes (gag, pol and env), expressed by all retroviruses, human retroviruses also encode additional regulatory genes. One regulatory gene promotes transcription of the viral genome and modulates the expression of specific cellular genes. The second gene (expressed by HIV and HTLV viruses) regulates viral expression posttranscriptionally by overcoming the effect of cis-acting negative elements present within the incompletely spliced mRNAs.

In the human T cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I) retrovirus, the regulatory gene is known as rex. The binding of Rex protein to a sequence at the 3' end of viral mRNA, known as the Rex response element (RxRE) leads to removal of posttranscriptional repression. A sequence within the U5 region of the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) has previously been described as exerting posttranscriptional repression. This element was termed a cis-repressive sequence (CRS).

This thesis describes the discovery of a novel cis-repressive sequence present within the 3' LTR of HTLV-I, termed the "downstream negative element" or ONE. Its function is investigated and compared to that of the known CRS. Each repressive element is shown to partially block the nucleocytoplasmic transport of LTR transcribed mRNAs. Presence of both elements is seen to completely block transport. Deletion of both elements completely removes Rex dependency. Also described is the discovery of a cis-positive element within the murine leukaemia virus extended packaging sequence (psi+). The MLV psi+ is used to enhance the packaging efficiency of pseudotyped retroviruses. Presence of the MLV psi+ is shown to partially remove Rex dependency from CRS-containing mRNAs. The positive element is shown to be present within the 3' terminal 312 bp of the MLV psi+ and to remove R ex-dependency by activating the nucleocytoplasmic transport of psi 312-containing mRNAs. This element was termed a constitutive transport element or "CTE", after showing the same mechanism of action as a small element from the Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV).

description: We present the latest results from our project to search for new planetary nebulae in nearby galaxies using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data. Our method is based on photometric criteria and can be applied to galaxies where PNe appear as point sources. We applied these criteria to the whole area of M31 as scanned by SDSS, detecting 130 new PN candidates and 30 known PNe. All selected PNe candidates are located in the outer regions of M31. For 85 candidates follow-up spectroscopy was obtained with the 2.2m telescope at Calar Alto Observatory. The observations show that our method has a detection efficiency of about 82%. We discuss the 2D velocity field of the outer part of M31 based on our observed PN data. The PNe suggest an exponential disk scale length of 13 kpc along the minor axis. We discovered two PNe along the line of sight to Andromeda NE, a very low surface brightness giant stellar structure in the outer halo of M31. These two PNe are located at projected distances of ~48 kpc and ~41 kpc from the center of M31 and are the most distant PNe in M31 found up to now. Our data support the idea that Andromeda NE is located at the distance of M31. No PNe associated with other M31 satellites observed by the SDSS were found. Applying our method to other SDSS regions we checked data for the Local Group galaxies Sextans, Draco, Leo I, Pegasus, Sextans B and Leo A and recovered a known PN in Leo A. We re-measured its O/H and for the first time determined abundances of N/H, S/H, He/H as well as the electron number density Ne. We argue that the PN progenitor was formed ~1.5 Gyr ago during the strongest episode of star formation in Leo A.

description: The case histories of 2,135 patients with acute blunt trauma, consecutively admitted to a hospital over a 48-month period, were studied in an attempt to produce an objective scale for the severity of injury. All injuries were coded using the Hospital Adaptation of International Classification of Disease (H-ICDA) prior to computer analysis. An effective probability of survival for each injury code was tested for its ability to predict outcome on random subsets of patients. When used as an injury score the PE1 can predict survival rates to within +-6% with individual misclassification rates of 12%.

description: The non-zero Dirac phases $δ^q$ and $δ^l$ in the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices signify CP violation. In general they are independent. Experimental data including recent T2K results show, however, that in the original KM parameterization for the mixing matrix, the sum $δ^q_{\rm KM} + δ^l_{\rm KM}$ is close to zero with $δ^q_{\rm KM}$ to be approximately $π/2$. The KM parameterization may have provided some hints that these phases are actually related and CP is maximally violated. We show that this sum rule can be accommodated in models with spontaneous CP violation where both phases originate from a non-trivial common spontaneous CP violating maximized phase in the Higgs potential. We find some interesting phenomenological consequences for flavor changing neutral current and CP violation for such a model. In particular, data from $B_s - \bar B_s$ mixing provide very strong constraints on the mass scale for the new neutral scalars in the model, yet the model still allows the electric dipole moments of electron and neutron to reach to their current upper bounds. The model can be tested by near future experiments.

For two eclipsing stars, the periods and epochs were significantly corrected using our extensive data. The phenomenological characteristics of the mean light curves were determined using the "New Algol Variable" (NAV) algorithm. The individual times of Maxima/Minima (ToM) were determined using the newly developed software MAVKA, which outputs the accurate parameters using the "asymptotic parabola" approximations. The light curves were approximated using the Wilson-Devinney model, the best fit parameters are listed. For both systems, the presence of the dark spot is justified, the parameters are estimated. Both systems classified to be overcontact binaries of EW type. The observations were obtained using the 1-m Korean telescope of the LOAO while monitoring the cataclysmic variable DO Dra within the "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" (ILA) project.

description: We use the $O(d,d)$-covariant formulation of supergravity familiar from Double Field Theory to find the first $α'$-correction to (unimodular) homogeneous Yang-Baxter (YB) deformations of the bosonic string. A special case of this result gives the $α'$-correction to TsT transformations. In a suitable scheme the correction comes entirely from an induced anomalous double Lorentz transformation, which is needed to make the two vielbeins obtained upon the YB deformation equal. This should hold more generally, in particular for abelian and non-abelian T-duality, as we discuss.

description: We construct a divergence-free HDG scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes phase field model. The scheme is robust in the convection-dominated regime, produce a globally divergence-free velocity approximation, and can be efficiently implemented via static condensation. Two numerical benchmark problems, namely the rising bubble problem, and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem are used to show the good performance of the proposed scheme.

description: Reservoir computing is a very promising approach for the prediction of complex nonlinear dynamical systems. Besides capturing the exact short-term trajectories of nonlinear systems, it has also proved to reproduce its characteristic long-term properties very accurately. However, predictions do not always work equivalently well. It has been shown that both short- and long-term predictions vary significantly among different random realizations of the reservoir. In order to gain an understanding on when reservoir computing works best, we investigate some differential properties of the respective realization of the reservoir in a systematic way. We find that removing nodes that correspond to the largest weights in the output regression matrix reduces outliers and improves overall prediction quality. Moreover, this allows to effectively reduce the network size and, therefore, increase computational efficiency. In addition, we use a nonlinear scaling factor in the hyperbolic tangent of the activation function. This adjusts the response of the activation function to the range of values of the input variables of the nodes. As a consequence, this reduces the number of outliers significantly and increases both the short- and long-term prediction quality for the nonlinear systems investigated in this study. Our results demonstrate that a large optimization potential lies in the systematical refinement of the differential reservoir properties for a given dataset.

Characterisation and control of trapped-ion qubit
Creators: name: Lee, Chungsun
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Trapped ions are one of the promising platforms that realise a quantum bit, or qubit, in quantum computation. The fundamental quantum operations, such as single- and two-qubit gates, have been demonstrated. However, the fidelity of a quantum gate is easily compromised by inadequate qubit initialisation or incorrect settings of experimental parameters. This thesis aims to address those issues, allowing for the complete coherent control of the trapped ion qubit. This thesis describes the construction and testing of a new ion trap apparatus for optimal control of a trapped ion qubit, which ideally makes the quantum gates more robust against experimental parameters. This thesis extends the two-level Ramsey interferometry to higher order in a trapped ion. Creation and certification of the motional superposition require excellent control of the trapped ion qubit. We prepare a motional superposition state with undesired AC Stark shift due to the off-resonant carrier compensated by our compensation scheme. We successfully certify the superposition consists of three motional Fock states, $(\ket{0}+\ket{1}+\ket{2})/\sqrt{3}$, using a robust certifier derived from statistical moments of the interference pattern. The thesis presents the results of a Bayesian estimator that estimates the Rabi frequency and detuning frequency by processing the measurement records via Bayes' theorem. We compare the estimate from the Bayesian estimator and the standard fitting method, in which Rabi frequency and detuning are estimated by fitting the Rabi oscillation and the frequency spectrum of the ion, and found the Bayesian estimator can estimate those unknown parameters as accurately as the standard fitting method, but only requires less than one-hundredth of measurements necessary for the fitting method. We also experimentally demonstrate measurement-based cooling, which is an alternative way to cool the ion to its ground state. Contrary to resolved sideband cooling, which is routinely used for the ground state cooling in our experiment, this cooling method probabilistically prepares the ion in its motional ground state. We perform a state-dependent mapping operation that maps the ion's atomic state to either $\ket{g}$ or $\ket{e}$ conditioned on its motional states: the ion's atomic state is mapped to $\ket{e}$ if its motional state is $\ket{0}$; otherwise the ion's atomic state is mapped to $\ket{g}$. The following projective measurement of the atomic state of the ion enables the discrimination between the motional ground state and the motional excited states. Therefore we can prepare the ion in the motional ground state by selecting the instances where the ion is measured to be in $\ket{e}$, which heralds the motional ground state. In the near future, the group will begin a project to implement and evaluate recent proposals for making quantum gates robust against a mis-set of frequency using a polychromatic light field.

description: The case histories of 2,135 patients with acute blunt trauma, consecutively admitted to a hospital over a 48-month period, were studied in an attempt to produce an objective scale for the severity of injury. All injuries were coded using the Hospital Adaptation of International Classification of Disease (H-ICDA) prior to computer analysis. An effective probability of survival for each injury code was tested for its ability to predict outcome on random subsets of patients. When used as an injury score the PE1 can predict survival rates to within +-6% with individual misclassification rates of 12%.

description: We show that localized N-body soliton states exist for a quantum integrable derivative nonlinear Schrodinger model for several non-overlapping ranges (called bands) of the coupling constant η. The number of such distinct bands is given by Euler's ϕ-function which appears in the context of number theory. The ranges of ηwithin each band can also be determined completely using concepts from number theory such as Farey sequences and continued fractions. We observe that N-body soliton states appearing within each band can have both positive and negative momentum. Moreover, for all bands lying in the region η> 0, soliton states with positive momentum have positive binding energy (called bound states), while the states with negative momentum have negative binding energy (anti-bound states).

Are Standards of Identity Obsolete or Redundant?

description: Informal standards of identity were being developed by the Bureau of Chemistry, USDA, around the turn of the century These standards were recipes—often similar to the recipes typically used at home. Related to the early manufactured foods such as canned foods, cheeses, bread and other products from processed cereals (e.g., farina), they were useful in regulating "food adulteration and misbranding"—responsibilities of the Bureau of Chemistry and later at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At present, FDA has responsibility for standards of identity for many processed food products while the Food Safety and Inspection Service, a division of USDA, retains responsibility for processed products containing meat and poultry. These product definitions have always been of a contentious nature (the standard for bread required 10 years of negotiations). Yet, they have been a successful policy instrument, especially during the first half of the century. They were a rather comfortable extension to a food system of commodities but are a less realistic policy instrument for more differentiated products. In earlier days, they were important in the regulation of additives and in labeling. Both of these functions have been superseded as new, more specialized laws have been passed. The 1990 policy on nutritional labeling makes standards redundant in some respects. The purpose of this paper is to study the purpose and function of food standards of identity as the policy currently exists and to assess whether they are appropriate in today's conditions and in light of other current policies.
