description: We present a measurement of the B0 -> Lambda-bar p pi branching fraction performed using the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- collider. Based on a 232 million BB-bar pairs data sample we measure: BR(B0 -> Lambda-bar p pi) = [ 3.30 +- 0.53 (stat.) +- 0.31(syst.) ] x 10^-6. A measurement of the differential spectrum as a function of the di-baryon invariant mass m(Lambda p) is also presented; this shows a near-threshold enhancement similar to that observed in other baryonic B decays.

description: The task of comparing and evaluating the performance of different computer-based clinical protocols is difficult and expensive to accomplish. This dissertation explores methods to compare and evaluate computer-based insulin infusion protocols based on an in silico analytical framework iteratively developed for this study, using data from the intensive care unit (ICU). In Methods for Aim 1, we used a pairwise comparative technique to evaluate two computer-based insulin infusion protocols. Our result showed that the pairwise method can rapidly identify a promising computer-based clinical protocol but with limitations. In Methods for Aim 2, we used a ranking strategy to evaluate six computer-based insulin infusion protocols. The ranking method enabled us to overcome a key limitation in Methods for Aim 1, making it possible to compare multiple computer-based clinical protocols simultaneously. In Methods for Aim 3, we developed a more comprehensive in silico method based on multiple-criteria decision analysis that included user-defined performance evaluation criteria examining different facets of the computer-based insulin infusion protocols. The in silico method appears to be an efficient way for identifying promising computer-based clinical protocols suitable for clinical evaluation. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages for each of the presented methods. We also discuss future research work and the generalizability of the framework to other potential clinical areas.
An Improved Channel Estimation Algorithm for Filter Bank Multicarrier Spread Spectrum
Creators: name: Driggs, Jonathan Davis
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Channel estimation techniques are crucial for reliable communications. This thesis is concerned with channel estimation in a #12;lter bank multicarrier spread spectrum (FBMC-SS) system. We explore two channel estimator options: (i) a method that makes use of a periodic preamble and mimics the channel estimation techniques that are widely used in OFDM-based systems; and (ii) a method that stays within the traditional realm of #12;lter bank signal processing. For the case where the channel noise is white, both methods are analyzed in detail and their performance is compared against their respective Cramer-Rao Lower Bounds (CRLB). Advantages and disadvantages of the two methods under di#11;erent channel conditions are also discussed to provide insight to the reader as to when one will outperform the other. After the theoretical exercise of deriving these channel estimation algorithms, we examine some practical considerations for the traditional channel estimation approach such as the channel delay spread and the e#11;ects of signal interference. First, a set of guidelines about designing the subcarrier spacing of FMBC-SS vs. the channel coherence bandwidth are provided to ensure channel estimates are su#14;ciently unbiased. Next, we provide a method for detecting the channel delay spread and rejecting in-band interference that results in nearly unbiased channel estimation scheme that can achieve a performance close to the CRLB in low SNR environments.

An investigation of masked facial affect in veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder using electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging

description: The research detailed within this dissertation investigates the neurobiological changes associated with emotional processing of backward masked emotional faces in veterans with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD affects millions of Americans, including approximately 20% of veterans, and is associated with a number of negative symptoms, including hyperarousal, avoidance, and flashbacks. In this dissertation, we examined a group of 15 veterans with PTSD and a group of 12 veterans without PTSD using both functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). Using fMRI, the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal of the amygdala and extrastriate cortex was measured, and using EEG, the P1 event-related potential (ERP) was recorded in response to masked affect. The veteran group with PTSD exhibited increased extrastriate BOLD signal but decreased P1 ERP amplitude in the right hemisphere. This was evidence of a right hemisphere specific visuosensory modulation in veterans with PTSD, which is most evident using EEG. Unexpectedly, the P1 ERP and extrastriate BOLD signal did not display a significant linear relationship in either veteran group, which indicates that although activity was measured from similar regions, the two methodologies provided distinct information regarding neuronal activity in this study. In addition, a relationship was observed between the BOLD signal of the amygdala and extrastriate cortex and the degree of combat exposure, based on the Combat Exposure Scale (CES). A veteran group without PTSD displayed a negative correlation between the extent of combat exposure and amygdalar BOLD activity. This was not the case for a veteran group with PTSD, who instead exhibited a negative correlation between the degree of combat exposure and extrastriate BOLD activity. When the total score of the CES was used as a covariate, the veteran group with PTSD displayed significantly increased amygdalar BOLD and extrastriate BOLD activity, compared to the veteran group without PTSD. This research highlights the importance of multimodal research, as differences between the two groups were observed using both methodologies. Our results suggest a relationship between the degree of combat exposure and the processing of masked emotional stimuli, even in veterans without PTSD.

Characteristics of the fission fragments in the three-body model of binary fission

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evaluated nuclide yields, fragment mass and charge distributions, and averaged total kinetic energy of fission fragments for the neutron-induced fission of 30 actinide nuclei are well described in the new model, which considers the fissioning scission system consisting of two heavy fragments and an alpha-particle between them. The alpha-particle has its origin in the neck nucleons. The yield of fission fragments in the model is linked to the number of states over the barrier of the saddle point, which is between the contacting and well-separated fission fragments. The alpha-particle is fused with the nearest heavy fragment after passing the saddle point, therefore, two final fragments appear during fission. The quadrupole deformations of heavy fragments are taken into account in the model. The fragment yields depend on the heights of corresponding saddle points and the values of the equilibrium quadrupole deformation of fragments.

description: Open MPI is an open source implementation of the MPI specification, widely used and adopted by the research community as well as industry. The Open MPI library is jointly developed and maintained by a consortium of academic institutions, national labs and industrial partners. It is installed on virtually all large-scale computer systems in the US as well as in the rest of the world. The goal of this project is to enhance and modernize the Open MPI library in the context of the ongoing evolution of modern computer systems, and to ensure its future operability on all upcoming architectures. We aim at implementing fundamental software techniques that can be used in many-core systems to execute MPI-based parallel applications more efficiently, and to tolerate process and memory failures at all scales, from current systems, up to the extreme scales expected before the end of the decade.

description: (Abridged) We present the first APOKASC catalog of spectroscopic and asteroseismic data for 415 dwarfs and subgiants. Asteroseismic data have been obtained by Kepler in short cadence. The spectroscopic parameters are based on spectra taken as part of APOGEE and correspond to DR13 of SDSS. We analyze our data using two Teff scales, the spectroscopic values from DR13 and those derived from SDSS griz photometry. We use the differences in our results arising from these choices as a test of systematic Teff, and find that they can lead to significant differences in the derived stellar properties. Determinations of surface gravity ($\log{g}$), mean density ($ρ$), radius ($R$), mass ($M$), and age ($τ$) for the whole sample have been carried out with stellar grid-based modeling. We have assessed random and systematic error sources in the spectroscopic and seismic data, as well as in the grid-based modeling determination of the stellar quantities in the catalog. We provide stellar properties for both Teff scales. The median combined (random and systematic) uncertainties are 2% (0.01 dex; $\log{g}$), 3.4% ($ρ$), 2.6% ($R$), 5.1% ($M$), and 19% ($τ$) for the photometric Teff scale and 2% ($\log{g}$), 3.5% ($ρ$), 2.7% ($R$), 6.3% ($M$), and 23% ($τ$) for the spectroscopic scale. Comparisons with stellar quantities in the catalog by Chaplin et al.(2014) highlight the importance of metallicity measurements for determining stellar parameters accurately. We compare our results with those from other sources, including stellar radii determined from TGAS parallaxes and asteroseismic analyses based on individual frequencies. We find a very good agreement in all cases. Comparisons give strong support to the determination of stellar quantities based on global seismology, a relevant result for future missions such as TESS and PLATO.

description: This paper explores the connections between particle scattering and quantum information theory in the context of the non-relativistic, elastic scattering of two spin-1/2 particles. An untangled, pure, two-particle in-state is evolved by an S-matrix that respects certain symmetries and the entanglement of the pure out-state is measured. The analysis is phrased in terms of unitary, irreducible representations (UIRs) of the symmetry group in question, either the rotation group for the spin degrees of freedom or the Galilean group for non-relativistic particles. Entanglement may occurs when multiple UIRs appear in the direct sum decomposition of the direct product in-state, but it also depends of the scattering phase shifts. \keywords{dynamical entanglement, scattering, Clebsch-Gordan methods}

description: In this paper, we revisit the data for the galaxy cluster ZwCl 0024.0+1652 provided by the GLACE survey and study the mass--metallicity function and its relationship with the environment. Here we describe an alternative way to reduce the data from OSIRIS tunable filters. This method gives us better uncertainties in the fluxes of the emission lines and the derived quantities. We present an updated catalogue of cluster galaxies with emission in H$α$ and [N\,{\sc{ii}}] $λλ$6548,6583. We also discuss the biases of these new fluxes and describe the way in which we calculated the mass--metallicity relationship and its uncertainties. We generated a new catalogue of 84 emission-line galaxies with reliable fluxes in [N\,{\sc{ii}}] and H$α$ lines from a list of 174 galaxies. We find a relationship between the clustercentric radius and the density of galaxies. We derived the mass--metallicity relationship for ZwCl 0024.0+1652 and compared it with clusters and field galaxies from the literature. We find a difference in the mass--metallicity relationship when compared to more massive clusters, with the latter showing on average higher values of abundance. This could be an effect of the quenching of the star formation, which seems to be more prevalent in low-mass galaxies in more massive clusters. We find little to no difference between ZwCl 0024.0+1652 galaxies and field galaxies located at the same redshift.

Bimodal Color Distribution in Hierarchical Galaxy Formation

description: We show how the observed bimodality in the color distribution of galaxies can be explained in the framework of the hierarchical clustering picture in terms of the interplay between the properties of the merging histories and the feedback/star-formation processes in the progenitors of local galaxies. Using a semi-analytic model of hierarchical galaxy formation, we compute the color distributions of galaxies with different luminosities and compare them with the observations. Our fiducial model matches the fundamental properties of the observed distributions, namely: 1) the distribution of objects brighter than M_r = -18 is clearly bimodal, with a fraction of red objects increasing with luminosity; 2) for objects brighter than M_r = -21 the color distribution is dominated by red objects with color u-r = 2.2-2.4; 3) the spread on the distribution of the red population is smaller than that of the blue population; 4) the fraction of red galaxies is larger in denser environments, even for low-luminosity objects; 5) the bimodality in the distribution persists up to z = 1.5. We discuss the role of the different physical processes included in the model in producing the above results.

description: The density profiles and corresponding order parameters of the hard ellipsoids confined between two hard walls and also in contact with a single hard wall are studied using the density functional theory. The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. To simplify the calculations we use restricted orientation model (ROM) for the orientation of ellipsoids to find the density profiles and order parameters. Density functional theory shows that there is a uniaxial-biaxial phase transition near a single hard wall and also between two hard walls for a fluid consisting of uniaxial hard ellipsoidal particles with finite elongation.

Antigen Presentation Function of Type-1 Diabetes Associated HLA-DQ Molecules
Creators: name: Zhou, Zemin
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Autoreactive CD4+ T cells initiate the autoimmune disease Type-1 diabetes (T1D). Expression of DQ2, DQ8, and DQ2/8 trans-dimers are highly prevalent in T1D. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. HLA-DM is essential for editing peptides bound to Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHCII) on antigen presenting cells, thus influencing the repertoire of peptides mediating selection and activation of CD4+ T cells. Here we explore the structural characteristics of DQ and the role of DM function, as well as the potential molecular mechanism of DM editing, as they may contribute to an understanding of autoreactive CD4+ T cell development in T1D. Cells coexpressing DM with these DQ molecules were observed to express elevated levels of class II-associated invariant chain peptides (CLIP), consistent with HPLC-MS/MS analysis of eluted peptides. Assays with purified recombinant soluble proteins further confirmed that T1D-associated DQ2 and DQ8 are resistant to DM editing. DM sensitivity was enhanced in mutant DQ8 with disruption of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) that stabilize DQ8 near the DM-binding region. Compared to T1D nonassociated DQ1 and DQ6, the percentages of shared peptides among T1D-associated DQ molecules were significantly higher. Predicted peptide binding motifs of T1D-associated DQ molecules shared charged anchor residues, iv while hydrophobic anchors were present in DQ6 peptides. Competition binding assays and peptide dissociation rate measurements indicated that peptide with high affinity is necessary but not sufficient for DM editing resistance. DM editing dominates the stability of MHCII/peptide complexes in the cellular environment. DM catalyzes peptide exchange in MHCII through a mechanism that has been proposed to involve the disruption of specific conserved H-bond in MHCII/peptide complexes. HLA-DR1 molecules with alanine substitutions at each of the six conserved H-bonding positions were expressed in cells, and susceptibility to DM editing was evaluated by measuring the release of CLIP. Our results support the conclusion that no individual component of the conserved H-bond network plays an essential role in the DM catalytic mechanism. Taken together, our data support that the relative DM resistance in T1Dassociated DQ molecules affects the peptide repertoires and preferential presentation of T1D-associated autoantigenic peptides may contribute to the pathogenesis of T1D.

description: Family of compounds CBr$_n$Cl$_{4-n}$ has been proven helpful in unraveling microscopic mechanisms responsible of glassy behavior. Some of the family members show translational ordered phases with minimal disorder which appears to reveal glassy features, thus deserving special attention in the search for universal glass anomalies. In this work, we studied CBrCl$_3$ dynamics by performing extensive molecular dynamics simulations. Molecules of this compound perform reorientational discrete jumps, where the atoms exchange equivalent positions among each other revealing a cage-orientational jump motion fully comparable to the cage-rototranslational jump motion in supercooled liquids. Correlation times were calculated from rotational autocorrelation functions showing good agreement with previous reported dielectric results. From mean waiting and persistence times calculated directly from trajectory results, we are able to explain which microscopic mechanisms lead to characteristic times associated with $α$ and $β$-relaxation times measured experimentally. We found that two nonequivalent groups of molecules have a longer characteristic time than the other two nonequivalent groups, both of them belonging to the asymmetric unit of the monoclinic (C2/c) lattice.
Personalized 3D Human Pose and Shape Refinement

description: Recently, regression-based methods have dominated the field of 3D human pose and shape estimation. Despite their promising results, a common issue is the misalignment between predictions and image observations, often caused by minor joint rotation errors that accumulate along the kinematic chain. To address this issue, we propose to construct dense correspondences between initial human model estimates and the corresponding images that can be used to refine the initial predictions. To this end, we utilize renderings of the 3D models to predict per-pixel 2D displacements between the synthetic renderings and the RGB images. This allows us to effectively integrate and exploit appearance information of the persons. Our per-pixel displacements can be efficiently transformed to per-visible-vertex displacements and then used for 3D model refinement by minimizing a reprojection loss. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we refine the initial 3D human mesh predictions of multiple models using different refinement procedures on 3DPW and RICH. We show that our approach not only consistently leads to better image-model alignment, but also to improved 3D accuracy.

description: The reuse of code fragments by copying and pasting is widely practiced in software development and results in code clones. Cloning is considered an anti-pattern as it negatively affects program correctness and increases maintenance efforts. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) software is no exception in the code clone discussion as reuse in development and maintenance is frequently achieved through copy, paste, and modification. Even though the presence of code clones may not necessary be a problem per se, it is important to detect, track and manage clones as the software system evolves. Unfortunately, tool support for clone detection and management is not commonly available for PLC software systems or limited to generic tools with a reduced set of features. In this paper, we investigate code clones in a real-world PLC software system based on IEC 61131-3 Structured Text and C/C++. We extended a widely used tool for clone detection with normalization support. Furthermore, we evaluated the different types and natures of code clones in the studied system and their relevance for refactoring. Results shed light on the applicability and usefulness of clone detection in the context of industrial automation systems and it demonstrates the benefit of adapting detection and management tools for IEC 611313-3 languages.

description: During normal operations, the only deposition on a spent nuclear fuel electrorefiner cathode consists of uranium. A computer model, Enhanced REFIN with Anodic Dissolution (ERAD), was used to simulate conditions under which the electrorefiner salt was progressively contaminated from spent nuclear fuel processing without operator intervention. The model was adjusted to reflect three scenarios: one in which salt removed with every cathode deposit was returned but the UCl3 concentration was never adjusted, one in which the salt was not removed and UCl3 concentration was never adjusted, and one in which the Pu/U ratio in the salt could reach a value of one before starting the first scenario. Under the base conditions simulated, uranium initially deposits alone but eventually plutonium begins to co-deposit along with uranium. Up to 350 g of plutonium was calculated to deposit along with 8.3 to 9.5 kg of uranium. While precise tracking of changes in the salt composition may not be possible, the model was able to identify markers for plutonium deposition by tracking changes in electrode potential. This type of marker should ultimately provide inspectors with more options for situations when they have limited access to electrorefiner data.

Analysis of Spatial Parrondo Games with Spatially Dependent Game A
Creators: name: Choi, Sung Chan
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Parrondo games with spatial dependence have been studied by Ethier and Lee. More precisely, they studied Toral's Parrondo games with N players arranged in a circle. The players play either game A or game B. In game A, a randomly chosen player wins or loses one unit according to the toss of a fair coin. In game B, which depends on parameters p0; p1; p2; p3 2 [0; 1], a randomly chosen player wins or loses one unit according to the toss of a pm-coin, where m 2 f0; 1; 2; 3g depends on the winning or losing status of the player's two nearest neighbors. In this dissertation, we study a spatially dependent game A, which we call game A0, introduced by Xie and others and considered by Ethier and Lee. Noting that game A0 is fair, we say that the Parrondo e#11;ect occurs if game B is losing or fair and the random mixture C0 := A0 + (1 -y )B [respectively, the nonrandom periodic pattern C0 := (A0)rBs] is winning. With p1 = p2 and the parameter space being the unit cube, we investigate numerically the region in which the Parrondo e#11;ect appears. We give su#14;cient conditions for the ergodicity of an interacting particle system in f0; 1gZ corresponding to the random mixture C0 := A0+(1-y )B by applying a theorem of Liggett, and also by means of \annihilating duality". We also show that limN!1 #22;N ( ;1-y )0 and limN!1 #22;N [r;s]0 exist under certain conditions, where #22;N ( ;1-y )0 denotes the mean pro#12;t per turn at equilibrium to the N players playing the random mixture C0 := A0 + (1-y )B, and #22;N [r;s]0 denotes the mean pro#12;t per turn at equilibrium to the N players playing the nonrandom periodic pattern C0 := (A0)rBs.

description: A co-culture platform for bioethanol production from brown macroalgae was developed, consisting of two types of engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains; alginate- and mannitol-assimilating yeast (AM1), and cellulase-displaying yeast (CDY). When the 5% (w/v) brown macroalgae Ecklonia kurome was used as the sole carbon source for this system, 2.1 g/L of ethanol was produced, along with simultaneous consumption of alginate, mannitol, and glucans.
Patterns of energy-dependent variability from Comptonization

description: We study fractional variability as a function of energy from black-hole X-ray binaries on timescales from milliseconds to hundreds of seconds. We build a theoretical model of energy-dependent variability in which the X-ray energy spectrum varies in response to a changing physical parameter. We compare these models to rms spectra obtained from RXTE PCA observations of black-hole binaries XTE J1550-564 and XTE J1650-500. We show that two main variability models are consistent with the data: variable seed photon input in the hard state and variable power in the Comptonized component in the soft and very high states. The lack of clear reflection features in the rms spectra implies that the reflection and the X-ray continuum, when integrated over Fourier frequencies, are correlated and vary with similar fractional amplitudes. Our models predict two important features of rms spectra, not possible to be clearly seen by the PCA due sensitivity limits. At soft X-rays, >~3 keV, we predict the presence of a break in the rms spectrum at energy directly related to the seed photon temperature. At higher energies, ~20--30 keV, we predict a peak in the rms spectrum originating from the variability of the spectrum produced by a hybrid thermal/non-thermal electron distribution. If these features are confirmed by broad-band observations, they will impose important constraints on the origin of the seed photons for Comptonization and the electron distribution in the hot plasma.

Analysis of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-iii protein functions in the abscission step of cytokinesis

Subjects: Biochemistry

description: The mammalian Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) pathway mediates the final membrane fission step of cytokinesis, known as abscission. Prior to abscission, the ESCRT machinery is recruited to the intercellular bridge that connects nascent daughter cells. Once there, subunits of the ESCRT-III complex bind the plasma membrane and oligomerize into membrane-bound filaments. These filaments constrict the membrane, resulting in membrane fission and release of two independent daughter cells. Here, I describe the creation of siRNA/shRNA depletion and rescue assays for testing abscission functions of the ESCRT-III proteins IST1 and CHMP2A. siRNA or shRNA treatments were used to deplete endogenous IST1 or CHMP2A protein levels, and exogenous wild-type or mutant constructs were tested for their ability to "rescue" the resulting abscission defects, as assayed by flow cytometry or morphological assays. These assays confirmed that both IST1 and CHMP2A are required for abscission, and that exogenous wild-type IST1 and CHMP2A can rescue the defects induced by depletion of the cognate proteins. The IST1 and CHMP2A depletion/rescue assays provided a means for testing whether different IST1 and CHMP2A mutants can function in abscission. As an initial proof of principle, I tested whether mutations in conserved basic patches in the N-terminal alpha helix inhibit the ability of IST1 and CHMP2A to function in abscission. Tests were performed because previous studies had implicated these basic patches in ESCRT-III membrane binding. Consistent with this hypothesis, mutations in the basic residues of IST1 abolished abscission functions; however, the CHMP2A data were ambiguous. Thus, my work has confirmed that the ESCRT-III proteins IST1 and CHMP2A are both required for the abscission step of cytokinesis, and have provided an assay system that can be used to test the functionality of mutant proteins.
Universal statistics of vortex tangle in three-dimensional wave chaos

description: The tangled nodal lines (wave vortices) in random, three-dimensional wavefields are studied as an exemplar of a fractal loop soup. Their statistics are a three-dimensional counterpart to the characteristic random behaviour of nodal domains in quantum chaos, but in three-dimensions the filaments can wind around one another to give distinctly different large scale behaviours. By tracing numerically the structure of the vortices, their conformations are shown to follow recent analytical predictions for random vortex tangles with periodic boundaries, where the local disorder of the model `averages out' to produce large scale power law scaling relations whose universality classes do not depend on the local physics. These results explain previous numerical measurements in terms of an explicit effect of the periodic boundaries, where the statistics of the vortices are strongly affected by the large scale connectedness of the system even at arbitrarily high energies. The statistics are investigated primarily for static (monochromatic) wavefields, but the analytical results are further shown to directly describe the reconnection statistics of vortices evolving in certain dynamic systems, or occurring during random perturbations of the static configuration.

Slavnov-Taylor Identities from the Causal Point of View

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We continue the investigation of quantized Yang-Mills theories coupled to matter fields in the framework of causal perturbation theory which goes back to Epstein and Glaser. In this approach gauge invariance is expressed by a simple commutator relation for the S-matrix and the corresponding gauge transformations are simple transformations of the free fields only. In spite of this simplicity, gauge invariance implies the usual Slavnov-Taylor identities. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the latter statement. Since the Slavnov-Taylor identities are formulated in terms of Green's functions, we investigate the agreement of two perturbative definitions of Green's functions, namely of Epstein and Glaser's definition with the Gell-Mann Low series.

Baryogenesis in Nonminimally Coupled $f(R)$ Theories

description: We generalize the mechanism for gravitational baryogensis in the context of $f(R)$ theories of gravity, including a nonminimal coupling between curvature and matter. In these models, the baryon asymmetry is generated through an effective coupling between the Ricci scalar curvature and the net baryon current that dynamically breaks Charge Conjugation, Parity and Time Reversal (CPT) invariance. We study the combinations of characteristic mass scales and exponents for both non-trivial functions present in the modified action functional and establish the allowed region for these parameters: we find that very small deviations from General Relativity are consistent with the observed baryon asymmetry and lead to temperatures compatible with the subsequent formation of the primordial abundances of light elements. In particular, we show the viability of a power-law nonminimal coupling function $f_2(R) \sim R^n$ with $ 0 < n \lesssim 0.078 $ and determine its characteristic curvature scale.

description: The century long (1914-2007) $H_α$ (656.28 nm) spectroheliograms from Kodaikanal Solar Observatory (KSO) have been recently digitised. Using these newly calibrated, processed images we study the evolution of dark elongated on disk structures called filaments, potential representatives of magnetic activities on the Sun. To our knowledge this is the oldest uniform digitised dataset with daily images available today in $H_α$. We generate Carrington maps for entire time duration and try to find the correspondences with maps of same rotation from Ca II K KSO data. Filaments are segmented from Carrington maps using a semi-automated technique and are studied individually to extract their centroids and tilts. We plot the time-latitude distribution of filament centroids producing Butterfly diagram, which clearly shows presence of poleward migration. We separate polar filaments for each cycle and try to estimate the delay between the polar filament number cycle and sunspot number cycle peaks. We correlate this delay with the same between polar reversal and sunspot number maxima. This provides new insight on the role of polar filaments on polar reversal.
