title: Ethanol tolerance in the yeast Saccharomyces
Creators: name: Brown, Stephen W.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The effect of ethanol on yeast growth and fermentation was studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 479 (a commercial sake yeast) and Saccharomyces uvarum 5D-cyc (a laboratory haploid strain). The effect of ethanol on growth was similar in both strains, complex kinetics were exhibited since ethanol affected both growth rate and viability. Ethanol was less inhibitory towards fermentation than towards growth. Fermentation was more ethanol tolerant in the sake yeast than in the laboratory strain. The optimum temperature for fermentation by S.uvarum 5D-cyc was higher than that for its growth. Growth inhibition by ethanol was least at temperatures 5°C and 10°C below the growth optimum (35°C). Fermentation became more resistant to ethanol inhibition with increasing temperature. S.uvarum 5D-cyc was characterized in a glucose-limited chemostat. Yield, maintenance and KS constants were determined. Derivation of an inhibitor constant for growth suggested that at substrate concentrations of 50 gl -1 and 135 gl -1 glucose autogenously produced ethanol caused a deviation from substrate saturation kinetics. This was manifested by the measurement of µ max by washout as 0.41 h- 1 whereas D Crit was found to be 0.28 h-1. The effect of oxygen on cell and ethanol formation by S.uvarum 5D-cyc (a grande strain) and by a cytoplasmic petite mutant derived from it was studied. The optimum oxygen level in the input gas flow for cell and ethanol formation by the grande was 0.17%. At no oxygen level did the yield or productivity of ethanol by the petite exceed that obtainable with the grande. Mutants of S.uvarum 5D-cyc with increased tolerance to ethanol were isolated by a continuous selection technique which allows the culture itself to determine the intensity of selection via a feedback control circuit. This system permitted the selection of mutants which displayed a range of phenotypes, all of the mutants were viable in 120 gl-1 ethanol.

description: Path planning is typically considered in Artificial Intelligence as a graph searching problem and R* is state-of-the-art algorithm tailored to solve it. The algorithm decomposes given path finding task into the series of subtasks each of which can be easily (in computational sense) solved by well-known methods (such as A*). Parameterized random choice is used to perform the decomposition and as a result R* performance largely depends on the choice of its input parameters. In our work we formulate a range of assumptions concerning possible upper and lower bounds of R* parameters, their interdependency and their influence on R* performance. Then we evaluate these assumptions by running a large number of experiments. As a result we formulate a set of heuristic rules which can be used to initialize the values of R* parameters in a way that leads to algorithm's best performance.

New Evidence On Destination Decisions of Unauthorized Mexican Migrants: Does Social Capital Still Matter?

Subjects: subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: The geography of Mexican migration has changed significantly in the past several decades. Scholarly explanations for this dispersal focus primarily on changing immigration policy, the restructuring of the U.S. and Mexican economies, and the linking of social networks between places of origin and destination. Drawing on a new dataset on unauthorized Mexican migration (The Migrant Border Crossing Study), this paper assesses the role of individual-level characteristics including human capital, social ties, and occupational experience in unauthorized migrant destination decisions. Results suggest human capital and occupational experience are not associated with destination decisions. In contrast, social ties in the United States hold significant associations with unauthorized migrant destinations. In particular, the legal status of social network members in the United States explains variations in destination choice. These findings suggest that studies of migrant destination choices should also consider the social capital provided to newcomers through mature or more established network structures.

description: We employ CaII K and NaI D interstellar absorption-line spectroscopy of early-type stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds to investigate the large- and small-scale structure in foreground Intermediate and High Velocity Clouds (I/HVCs). These data include FLAMES-GIRAFFE CaII K observations of 403 stars in four open clusters, plus FEROS or UVES spectra of 156 stars in the LMC and SMC. The FLAMES observations are amongst the most extensive probes to date of CaII structures on 20 arcsec scales From the FLAMES data within a 0.5 degree field-of-view, the CaII K equivalent width in the I/HVC components towards three clusters varies by factors of >10. There are no detections of molecular gas in absorption at intermediate or high velocities, although molecular absorption is present at LMC and Galactic velocities towards some sightlines. The sightlines show variations in EW exceeding a factor 7 in CH+ towards NGC 1761 over scales of less than 10 arcminutes. The FEROS/UVES data show CaII K I/HVC absorption in $\sim$60 per cent of sightlines. No NaI D is found at non-Magellanic HVC velocities aside from a tentative detection towards the star LHA 120-S 93. The range in the CaII/NaI ratio in I/HVCs is from -0.45 to +1.5 dex, similar to previous measurements for I/HVCs. In ten sightlines we find CaII/OI ratios in I/HVC gas ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 dex below the solar value, indicating either dust or ionisation effects. In nine sightlines I/HVC gas is detected in both HI and CaII, and shows similar CaII/HI ratios to typical I/HVCs, and similar velocities, implying that in these sightlines the two elements form part of the same structure.

description: Cluster automorphisms have been shown to have links to the mapping class groups of surfaces, maximal green sequences and to exchange graph automorphisms for skew-symmetric cluster algebras. In this paper we aim to generalise these results to the skew-symmetrizable case by introducing a marking on the exchange graph. Many skew-symmetrizable matrices unfold to skew-symmetric matrices and we consider how cluster automorphisms behave under this unfolding with applications to coverings of orbifolds by surfaces.

Membrane Mechanics of Endocytosis in Cells with Turgor

description: Endocytosis is an essential process by which cells internalize a piece of plasma membrane and material from the outside. In cells with turgor, pressure opposes membrane defor- mations, and increases the amount of force that has to be generated by the endocytic machinery. To determine this force, and calculate the shape of the membrane, we used physical theory to model an elastic surface under pressure. Accurate fits of experimental profiles are obtained assuming that the coated membrane is highly rigid and preferentially curved at the endocytic site. The forces required from the actin machinery peaks at the onset of deformation, indicating that once invagination has been initiated, endocytosis is unlikely to stall before completion. Coat proteins do not lower the initiation force but may affect the process by the curvature they induce. In the presence of isotropic curvature inducers, pulling the tip of the invagination can trigger the formation of a neck at the base of the invagination. Hence direct neck constriction by actin may not be required, while its pulling role is essential. Finally, the theory shows that anisotropic curvature effectors stabilize membrane invaginations, and the loss of crescent-shaped BAR domain proteins such as Rvs167 could therefore trigger membrane scission.

The proof uses a method introduced for the first time by Pila and Zannier to give an alternative proof of Manin-Mumford conjecture and a theorem to count points that satisfy a certain number of linear conditions with rational coefficients. This method has been largely used in many different problems in the context of "unlikely intersections".

description: Dopant-based quantum computing implementations often require the dopants to be situated close to an interface to facilitate qubit manipulation with local gates. Interfaces not only modify the energies of the bound states but also affect their symmetry. Making use of the successful effective mass theory we study the energy spectra of acceptors in Si or Ge taking into account the quantum confinement, the dielectric mismatch and the central cell effects. The presence of an interface puts constraints to the allowed symmetries and lead to the splitting of the ground state in two Kramers doublets [J. Mol et al, App. Phys. Lett. 106, 203110 (2015)]. Inversion symmetry breaking also implies parity mixing which affects the allowed optical transitions. Consequences for acceptor qubits are discussed.

Enchanting the Disenchanted: The Role of Charles Williams' Talisman Novels in the Formation of Romantic Theology
Creators: name: Hogan, Cynthia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Written during the interwar years in Europe, when such modernist authors as Joyce, Woolf, Eliot, and Huxley were active, Charles Williams' Christian novels, with their unshakable faith in the power of Christian love, stand in sharp contrast to the disillusioned and disenchanted themes of literary modernism. In this thesis, I offer a close reading of three of Williams' early novels, War in Heaven (1930), Many Dimensions (1931), and The Greater Trumps (1932), and explicate the complex literary imagery Williams uses to convey his simple Christian maxim that Love (i.e., Christ) is the ultimate force at work within an enchanted and animistic universe. Ultimately, I argue that these three novels, known as the "talisman novels," form an intertextual trinity through which Williams evolves his three principles of Substitution, Exchange, and Coinherence into his mature doctrine of Romantic Theology.

description: If $L$ is a finite lattice, we show that there is a natural topological lattice structure on the geometric realization of its order complex $Δ(L)$ (definition recalled). Lattice-theoretically, the resulting object is a subdirect product of copies of $L$. We note properties of this construction and of some variants thereof, and pose several questions. For $M_3$ the $5$-element nondistributive modular lattice, $Δ(M_3)$ is modular, but its underlying topological space does not admit a structure of distributive lattice, answering a question of Walter Taylor. We also describe a construction of "stitching together" a family of lattices along a common chain, and note how $Δ(M_3)$ can be obtained as a case of this construction.

description: Debris disks are usually thought to be gas-poor, the gas being dissipated by accretion or evaporation during the protoplanetary phase. HD141569A is a 5 Myr old star harboring a famous debris disk, with multiple rings and spiral features. We present here the first PdBI maps of the 12CO(2-1), 13CO(2-1) gas and dust emission at 1.3 mm in this disk. The analysis reveals there is still a large amount of (primordial) gas extending out to 250 au, i. e. inside the rings observed in scattered light. HD141569A is thus a hybrid disk with a huge debris component, where dust has evolved and is produced by collisions, with a large remnant reservoir of gas.

Multi–Scale Deformation Studies on a Metastable High Entropy Alloy
Creators: name: Ahmed, Junaid
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Recent studies of FeMnCoCr-based high entropy alloys (HEA) have demonstrated uncommon deformation behaviors such as transformation-induced plasticity, which were largely believed to be restricted to select families of steels. Coupled with the potential for entropy stabilization of high symmetry phases at high temperatures, this system represents a promising class of materials for structural applications in extreme environments. Yet, transformation-induced plasticity mechanisms are notably sensitive to various microstructural parameters including grain size, morphology, and relative orientation etc,. These microstructural parameters are particularly sensitive to post-synthesis thermo-mechanical treatments and various reports indicate the deleterious decomposition of HEA. As HEAs are considered as potential candidates for high temperature applications, decomposition raises concern of resiliency in mechanical performance. Here, we investigated the evolution of hexagonal close pack (HCP) phase on the structure – property relationships of a metastable FeMnCoCr HEA, at varying length scales, after exposure to high temperature. The reference HEA system with predefined chemical composition was synthesized in a vacuum arc furnace, thermo-mechanically processed and exposed to 1200 ºC for various hours. In depth microstructural investigations showed the processed HEA to retain the characteristic austenite/martensite features, with parent face-centered cubic grains (FCC) segmented by HCP laths and no observable decomposition. Uniaxial mechanical testing reveal an unusual insensitivity of this alloy to grain-growth induced weakening effects. Namely, the yield strengths of HEA samples are observed to remain constant across various heat treatments, despite a monotonic increase in the grain size. In addition, a new non-destructive methodology is developed, utilizing xiv acoustic emission in conjunction with Rockwell and micro-Vicker indentation, to fingerprint various deformation sources including dislocation slip and martensitic transformation. The selective activation of various deformation sources via indenting in individual grains made deconvolution of acoustic signals a fingerprinting dislocation slip and martensitic transformation unambigious. Furthermore, spherical nanoindentation was leveraged to understand the formation of martensite phase, and the associated change in flow behavior from individual grains in a single-phase metastable HEA. The change in indentation hardness with depth clearly showed material resistance to flow in the presence of HCP phase. Ongoing work regarding grain specific deformation flow, i.e., stress-strain analysis, will be a helpful in alloy design via providing intrinsic information about parent grain (i.e., grain size, phase fraction, etc.)

description: We investigate the effect of a unidirectional quenched random field on the anisotropic quantum spin-1/2 $XY$ model, which magnetizes spontaneously in the absence of the random field. We adopt mean-field approach to show that spontaneous magnetization persists even in the presence of this random field but the magnitude of magnetization gets suppressed due to disorder, and the system magnetizes in the directions parallel and transverse to the random field. Our results are obtained by analytical calculations within perturbative framework and by numerical simulations. Interestingly, we show that it is possible to enhance a component of the magnetization in presence of the disorder field provided we apply an additional constant field in the $XY$ plane. Moreover, we derive generalized expressions for the critical temperature and the scalings of the magnetization near the critical point for the $XY$ spin system with arbitrary fixed quantum spin angular momentum.

description: To describe fusion hindrance observed in fusion reactions at extremely low incident energies, I propose a novel extension of the standard CC model by introducing a damping factor that describes a smooth transition from sudden to adiabatic processes. I demonstrate the performance of this model by systematically investigating various deep sub-barrier fusion reactions. I extend the standard CC model by introducing a damping factor into the coupling matrix elements in the standard CC model. I adopt the Yukawa-plus-exponential (YPE) model as a basic heavy ion-ion potential, which is advantageous for a unified description of the one- and two-body potentials. For the purpose of these systematic investigations, I approximate the one-body potential with a third-order polynomial function based on the YPE model. Calculated fusion cross sections for the medium-heavy mass systems of $^{64}$Ni + $^{64}$Ni, $^{58}$Ni + $^{58}$Ni, and $^{58}$Ni + $^{54}$Fe, the medium-light mass systems of $^{40}$Ca + $^{40}$Ca, $^{48}$Ca + $^{48}$Ca, and $^{24}$Mg + $^{30}$Si, and the mass-asymmetric systems of $^{48}$Ca + $^{96}$Zr and $^{16}$O + $^{208}$Pb are consistent with the experimental data. The astrophysical S factor and logarithmic derivative representations of these are also in good agreement with the experimental data. Since the results calculated with the damping factor are in excellent agreement with the experimental data in all systems, I conclude that the smooth transition from the sudden to adiabatic processes occurs and that a coordinate-dependent coupling strength is responsible for the fusion hindrance. In all systems, the potential energies at the touching point $V_{\rm Touch}$ strongly correlate with the incident threshold energies for which the fusion hindrance starts to emerge, except for the medium-light mass systems.

The strained state cosmology

description: Starting from some relevant facts concerning the behaviour of the universe over large scale and time span, the analogy between the geometric approach of General Relativ- ity and the classical description of an elastic strained material continuum is discussed. Extending the elastic deformation approach to four dimensions it is shown that the accelerated expansion of the universe is recovered. The strain field of space-time repro- duces properties similar to the ones ascribed to the dark energy currently called in to explain the accelerated expansion. The strain field in the primordial universe behaves as radiation, but asymptotically it reproduces the cosmological constant. Subjecting the theory to a number of cosmological tests confirms the soundness of the approach and gives an optimal value for the one parameter of the model, i.e. the bulk modulus of the space-time continuum. Finally various aspects of the Strained State Cosmology (SSC) are discussed and contrasted with some non-linear massive gravity theories. The possible role of structure topological defects is also mentioned. The conclusion is that SSC is at least as good as the LCDM standard cosmology, giving a more intuitive interpretation of the physical nature of the phenomena.

The Influence Of Intraoperative Factors On Clinical Outcome Of Vital Pulp Therapy

description: Endodontics is the specialty of dentistry aimed at preserving the natural tooth through the diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of pathology associated with the dental pulp and peri-apical tissues. While the pulp is an immunocompetent tissue that has the ability to heal, the prognosis of vital pulp therapy continues to be debated. The inability to accurately assess the degree of inflammation of cariously exposed pulps leads to aggressive and expensive treatment. This project seeks to identify the intraoperative factors that may affect outcome of Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) on mature teeth with cariously exposed pulps. Our specific aims are to identify intraoperative factors influencing outcome of VPT on fully developed permanent teeth and determine the best practice protocol of VPT. A prospective observational study of VPT on mature teeth with exposed pulp will be conducted in the DDS clinic at the School of Dentistry. Standardized questionnaire and protocols will be used to create a database for evaluating influencing intraoperative factors affecting outcomes of VPT on fully developed permanent teeth. The evaluated intraoperative factors were not statistically significant on the outcome of treatment. This prospective observational study showed that with thorough case selection and appropriate protocol, VPT is a predictable treatment option to pulp exposures on asymptomatic teeth with matured apices

The acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching on selected performance parameters
Creators: name: Gage, Julie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Acute static stretching has been shown to decrease strength, power, and endurance. The effects of acute PNF stretching have not been investigated. Additionally, a population with tight musculature may respond differently to stretching than those who have a normal muscle length. This study investigated how PNF stretching affected anterior pelvic tilt, hip extension range of motion (ROM), hip extensor strength, agility, and vertical jump height in those with and without tight hip flexors. Tight subjects had reduced ROM when compared to not tight subjects. There was a significant increase in ROM after stretching in both tight and not tight subjects. Following stretching, both tight and not tight subjects experienced a significant reduction in anterior pelvic tilt. There were no significant differences between groups or tests in vertical jump height or strength variables. PNF stretching increases stretch tolerance, but does not appear to influence antagonist muscle strength.

description: The EDGES High-Band experiment aims to detect the sky-average brightness temperature of the $21$-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) in the redshift range $14.8 \gtrsim z \gtrsim 6.5$. To probe this redshifted signal, EDGES High-Band conducts single-antenna measurements in the frequency range $90-190$ MHz from the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. In this paper, we describe the current strategy for calibration of the EDGES High-Band receiver and report calibration results for the instrument used in the $2015-2016$ observational campaign. We propagate uncertainties in the receiver calibration measurements to the antenna temperature using a Monte Carlo approach. We define a performance objective of $1$~mK residual RMS after modeling foreground subtraction from a fiducial temperature spectrum using a five-term polynomial. Most of the calibration uncertainties yield residuals of $1$~mK or less at $95\%$ confidence. However, current uncertainties in the antenna and receiver reflection coefficients can lead to residuals of up to $20$ mK even in low-foreground sky regions. These dominant residuals could be reduced by 1) improving the accuracy in reflection measurements, especially their phase 2) improving the impedance match at the antenna-receiver interface, and 3) decreasing the changes with frequency of the antenna reflection phase.

title: A critical assessment of Sir John Thomas Jones’ ‘Journals of the Sieges undertaken by the allies in Spain in the years 1811 and 1812’
Creators: name: McDonough, James

description: During the Peninsular War (1808-1814) the Anglo-Portuguese army conducted seven major sieges in its struggle with the French invaders. In 1814 brevet Lieutenant-Colonel John Thomas Jones published Journals of the Sieges undertaken by the allies in Spain in the years 1811 and 1812 about the conduct of the sieges. Because Jones was a high-ranking Royal Engineer who had served in five sieges Journals of the Sieges … became the yardstick by which all other accounts were judged. In the 200 years since its publication more and more sources of information about the sieges have become available to researchers, from the publication of personal diaries or memoirs to the opening of various archives to the public. Yet despite this wealth of information many British (English language) historians still have an uncritical view of Journals of the Sieges and have made no attempt to check on the accuracy of its contents. This thesis is a critical assessment of Jones’ Journals of the Sieges, to examine how it became to be regarded in such an uncritical light, if Jones is a reliable historian of the sieges and are his conclusions valid? Much of this thesis is an examination of the evidence presented by Jones in Journals of the Sieges compared with evidence gleaned from a variety of other sources that include Jones’s personal journal, journals of other engineers present at the sieges and several French sources. However, because not many people are au fait with the details of early C19th fortifications or the processes involved in siege-warfare my thesis contains a chapter, which covers these issues. It also discusses the history, training and practical experience of both the French military engineers and their British counterparts. Such a comparison underlines the gulf in training and practical between the different sets of engineers. Besides literary sources, I decided to examine the physical remains at Badajoz and Ciudad Rodrigo to see if I could learn anything that had been omitted from the written accounts and to check whether the breach sites chosen by the engineers were the best available options. As Wellington was in overall command it was felt necessary to examine his role in the decisions made during the sieges, to see if they had a positive or negative impact on the sieges. At the conclusion of this thesis, I will draw together all the evidence from the literary sources, the field survey data and the exploration of Wellington’s involvement with the decisions made during the sieges to answer the three questions I set out in the introduction.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a significant loss of human life and degradation of public health and has increased food and nutritional insecurity and poverty. The pandemic has also had devastating impacts on maritime economies, coastal communities and livelihoods, and on institutions and processes that govern ocean use and conservation (Northrop et al., 2020). While some pandemic-related containment measures are being phased out in some parts of the world, many countries remain in a state of ongoing crisis. The negative impacts of the pandemic are particularly pronounced in developing countries, many of which face pre-existing vulnerabilities to the effects of climate change, natural disasters, and economic shocks (Mead, 2021). The global pandemic has reinforced structural vulnerabilities rooted in an overdependence on select economic sectors (e.g., tourism and fisheries), fiscal deficits and public dept levels, as well as constraints in the mobilization of public and private financial resources (OECD, 2021a; Tokunaga et al., 2021; UNCTAD, 2021). Considering the different crises the world is faced with, socio-economic recovery efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic should not further amplify but help to combat climate change, the degradation of ecosystems, and the accelerating loss of biodiversity. At least 10 % of the total recovery spending so far have mixed or negative implications on the environment (OECD, 2021b). Currently, the share of Official Development Assistance (ODA) dedicated to sustainable ocean economies accounts for less than 1 % of global ODA (OECD, 2021c). Given the scarcity of funding for sustainable ocean economies, it is crucial to ensure investments work towards achieving multiple benefits related to society and the environment. This policy brief provides the following recommendations to move from short-term emergency action to fostering long-term recovery across three key areas: (1) sustainable blue recovery for livelihoods and ocean health, (2) regional coordination and cooperation, and (3) ocean finance and funding.
