description: Producing de-novo genome assemblies for complex genomes is possible thanks to long-read DNA sequencing technologies. However, maximizing the quality of assemblies based on long reads is a challenging task that requires the development of specialized data analysis techniques. Most of the commonly used tools to assemble long-read datasets implement the overlap-layout-consensus (OLC) algorithm. In this work we introduce a new software implementation for genome assembly from long-read sequencing data. It includes new algorithmic approaches to build overlap-layout-consensus (OLC) assembly graphs, and to identify layout paths. Benchmark experiments on PacBio HiFi and Nanopore data from organisms of different species including Escherichia coli, yeast, Drosophila melanogaster, rice, maize, and human show that our algorithms are competitive and, in some cases, more accurate, compared to previous solutions. These algorithms are implemented as part of the Next Generation Sequencing Experience Platform (NGSEP), allowing a tight integration with genome comparison and detection of genomic variants within a single easy-to-use tool for analysis of both short and long read DNA sequencing data.
"We are here because you were there": The histories and experiences of care labor among Filipinx American migrant domestic and health care workers

Subjects: subject: Filipino American women
subject: Transnationalism
subject: Public health

description: Raphael’s capstone aims to document the histories and experiences of Filipinx American migrant domestic and health care workers, from the colonization of the Philippines by the United States to the present. It utilizes a comparative, transnational analysis to interrogate how the Philippines became a country known for its labor export, and how transnational policies have shaped the occupational experiences of the Filipinx American diaspora. Lastly, it aims to document and analyze how these histories perpetuate structural inequities among Filipinx American migrant workers in the present day, especially as public health crises like COVID-19 made the structural vulnerabilities of these populations more acute.

description: Partition functions of eigenvalue matrix models possess a number of very different descriptions: as matrix integrals, as solutions to linear and non-linear equations, as tau-functions of integrable hierarchies and as special-geometry prepotentials, as result of the action of W-operators and of various recursions on elementary input data, as gluing of certain elementary building blocks. All this explains the central role of such matrix models in modern mathematical physics: they provide the basic "special functions" to express the answers and relations between them, and they serve as a dream model of what one should try to achieve in any other field.

description: Introduction Asthma is a common respiratory disease affecting 1-18% of the population in different countries and reported up to 24% among children in Malaysia. Assessment of asthma control and identifying the risk factors for poor asthma outcomes are essential to achieve asthma management goals of symptom control and risk reduction. Method  A cross-sectional study in 24 paediatric clinics in the MOH hospitals between 1st October 2020 until 31st January 2021 involving asthmatic children aged 6-11 years old and their parents. Asthma control status based on Global Initiative Asthma (GINA) guideline. Results  Total of 756 subjects enrolled. Mostly were male (56%), Malay (82.1%) and mean age of 100.6 months (SD 20.54 months). About 68% had well-controlled asthma, followed by 23.8% of partially controlled asthma and 7.9% of uncontrolled asthma. Poor medication adherence, high usage of short-acting beta-agonist, the coexistence of allergic rhinitis, and exposure to allergens were the risk factors contributing to suboptimal asthma control among children (p<0.005). Conclusion One-third of asthma control among children in Malaysia was suboptimal control. Many factors contributed to suboptimal level such as in adequate asthma treatment by clinicians and poor parents responsibilities to ensure compliance to medication and allergens avoidance.

description: The aim of this paper is to develop a multiscale hierarchical hybrid model based on finite element analysis and neural network computation to link mesoscopic scale (trabecular network level) and macroscopic (whole bone level) to simulate bone remodelling process. Because whole bone simulation considering the 3D trabecular level is time consuming, the finite element calculation is performed at macroscopic level and a trained neural network are employed as numerical devices for substituting the finite element code needed for the mesoscale prediction. The bone mechanical properties are updated at macroscopic scale depending on the morphological organization at the mesoscopic computed by the trained neural network. The digital image-based modeling technique using m-CT and voxel finite element mesh is used to capture 2 mm3 Representative Volume Elements at mesoscale level in a femur head. The input data for the artificial neural network are a set of bone material parameters, boundary conditions and the applied stress. The output data is the updated bone properties and some trabecular bone factors. The presented approach, to our knowledge, is the first model incorporating both FE analysis and neural network computation to simulate the multilevel bone adaptation in rapid way.

description: We present a detailed theoretical and experimental study on the optical control of a trapped-ion qubit subject to thermally induced fluctuations of the Rabi frequency. The coupling fluctuations are caused by thermal excitation on three harmonic oscillator modes. We develop an effective Maxwell-Boltzmann theory which leads to a replacement of several quantized oscillator modes by an effective continuous probability distribution function for the Rabi frequency. The model is experimentally verified for driving the quadrupole transition with resonant square pulses. This allows for the determination of the ion temperature with an accuracy of better than 2% of the temperature pertaining to the Doppler cooling limit TD over a range from 0.5TD to 5TD. The theory is then applied successfully to model experimental data for rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) pulses. We apply the model and the obtained experimental parameters to elu- cidate the robustness and efficiency of the RAP process by means of numerical simulations.

Instability-Driven Dynamical Evolution Model of a Primordially 5 Planet Outer Solar System

description: Over the last decade, evidence has mounted that the solar system's observed state can be favorably reproduced in the context of an instability-driven dynamical evolution model, such as the "Nice" model. To date, all successful realizations of instability models have concentrated on evolving the four giant planets onto their current orbits from a more compact configuration. Simultaneously, the possibility of forming and ejecting additional planets has been discussed, but never successfully implemented. Here we show that a large array of 5-planet (2 gas giants + 3 ice giants) multi-resonant initial states can lead to an adequate formation of the outer solar system, featuring an ejection of an ice giant during a phase of instability. Particularly, our simulations demonstrate that the eigenmodes which characterize the outer solar system's secular dynamics can be closely matched with a 5-planet model. Furthermore, provided that the ejection timescale of the extra planet is short, orbital excitation of a primordial cold classical Kuiper belt can also be avoided in this scenario. Thus the solar system is one of many possible outcomes of dynamical relaxation and can originate from a wide variety of initial states. This deems the construction of a unique model of solar system's early dynamical evolution impossible.

American Studies Without Tears

Publisher: name: RSAJournal

description: As Americanists, we commonly approach “America” with suspicion, fear, even anger; we view it as a powerful, duplicitous force to be denounced or demystified. This paper speculates as to why this might be so and in particular considers the troubled relationships at the heart of this dilemma – relations between pleasure and knowledge, and between sentiment and critique. This trouble is evident in the difficulties we experience in working through these relationships in our critical approaches, the difficulties in balancing intellectual comprehension and emotional apprehension of America. This is evident in the field imaginary of American Studies, which is presented here not only as a sphere of collective knowledge that is regulated by disciplinary practices, but also as a field of less-regulated desires. I consider what the construction of a field imaginary leaves out, what it represses or disavows, in producing America as an object of knowledge. In an attempt to illustrate some of these considerations in relation to critical practice, this essay concludes by looking at a photographic image.

description: L-asparaginase and L-glutaminase can be effectively used for the treatment of patients who suffer from accute lymphoblastic leukemia and tumor cells. Microbial sources are the best source for the bulk production of these enzymes. However, their long-term administration may cause immunological responses, so screening for new enzymes with novel properties is required. Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria with novel enzymatic characteristics can be considered as a potential source for production of enzymes with different immunological properties. In this study, L-asparaginase and L-glutaminase production by halophilic bacteria isolated from Urmia salt lake was studied. Out of the 85 isolated halophilic and halotolerant bacterial strains, 16 (19 %) showed L-asparaginase activity and 3 strains (3.5 %) showed L-glutaminase activity. Strains with the highest activities were selected for further studies. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, it was shown that the selected isolates for L-asparaginase and L-glutaminase production belong to the genus Bacillus and Salicola, respectively. Both enzymes were produced extracellularly. The strain with the most L-asparaginase production did not show L-glutaminase production which is medically important. The effects of key parameters including temperature, initial pH of the solution, and concentrations of glucose, asparagine or glutamine, and sodium chloride were evaluated by means of response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize enzymes production. Under the obtained optimal conditions, L-asparaginase and L-glutaminase production was increased up to 1.5 (61.7 unit/mL) and 2.6 fold (46.4 unit/mL), respectively.

Pursuits of Happiness

Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2008

description: This essay offers an introduction to the section on “Pursuits of Happiness” by attempting to trace a genealogy of the philosophical discourse on happiness converging in the Declaration of Independence of the United States and unfolding in its later cultural interpretations. Through an investigation of the tension between the normative and the subversive inherent in the “pursuit of happiness” notion, the essay calls for a retrieval of its unsettling utopian potential. By its appeal to the imagination and its capacity to effect a mobilization of desire in the political domain, the “pursuit of happiness” might reveal as yet unthought-of ways of imagining the political “beyond the reality principle.”

description: We present 2" - 10" imaging of eleven transitions from nine molecular species across the nuclear bar in Maffei 2. The data were obtained with the BIMA and OVRO interferometers. The ten detected transitions are compared with existing CO isotopologues, HCN, CS and millimeter continuum data. Dramatic spatial variations among the mapped species are observed across the nuclear bar. A principle component analysis is performed to characterize correlations between the transitions, star formation and molecular column density. The analysis reveals that HCN, HNC, HCO+ and 3 mm continuum are tightly correlated, indicating a direct connection to massive star formation. We find two main morphologically distinct chemical groups, CH3OH, SiO and HNCO comprising the grain chemistry molecules, versus HCN, HNC, HCO+ and C2H, molecules strong in the presence of star formation. The grain chemistry molecules, HNCO, CH3OH and SiO, trace hydrodynamical bar shocks. The near constancy of the HNCO/CH3OH, SiO/CH3OH and SiO/HNCO ratios argue that shock properties are uniform across the nucleus. HCN/HCO+, HCN/HNC, HCN/CS and HCN/CO ratios are explained primarily by variations in density. High HCO+/N2H+ ratios are correlated with the C2H line, suggesting that this ratio may be a powerful new dense photon-dominated region (PDR) probe in external galaxies. C2H reveals a molecular outflow along the minor axis. The morphology and kinematics of the outflow are consistent with an outflow age of 6-7 Myrs.

description: Starting in the second half of the 1910s, some American cities tried to attach proportionalist reforms to their new municipal charters. Many campaigns failed, a few were successful. Among the latter, a relevant one took place in New York City in 1935-36. As a result, between 1936 and 1947 New York adopted, in place of the majority system it had used until then to elect its Board of Aldermen, an electoral law based on proportional representation to elect a City Council. Although the proportionalist charter was abandoned in 1947 to restore the traditional electoral system, the deviation from the traditional political patterns and electoral behavior during New York’s proportionalist decade can provide useful suggestions to ponder some of the traditional assumptions of American political history.

description: Most Sun-like stars in the Galaxy reside in gravitationally-bound pairs of stars called "binary stars". While long anticipated, the existence of a "circumbinary planet" orbiting such a pair of normal stars was not definitively established until the discovery of Kepler-16. Incontrovertible evidence was provided by the miniature eclipses ("transits") of the stars by the planet. However, questions remain about the prevalence of circumbinary planets and their range of orbital and physical properties. Here we present two additional transiting circumbinary planets, Kepler-34 and Kepler-35. Each is a low-density gas giant planet on an orbit closely aligned with that of its parent stars. Kepler-34 orbits two Sun-like stars every 289 days, while Kepler-35 orbits a pair of smaller stars (89% and 81% of the Sun's mass) every 131 days. Due to the orbital motion of the stars, the planets experience large multi-periodic variations in incident stellar radiation. The observed rate of circumbinary planets implies > ~1% of close binary stars have giant planets in nearly coplanar orbits, yielding a Galactic population of at least several million.

description: This article explores Sandra Cisneros’s multicultural cosmos, through the image of a traditional Mexican shawl: the rebozo caramelo which gives the title to her latest novel. Through this basic metaphor connecting weaving and storytelling, the essay highlights the prominent traits of Cisneros’s personality – her close bond to the symbols of her ethnic identity, her social commitment and her lively and sagacious character – as well as the hybrid space of the Chicano community, which she tries to depict in its rich and complex blend of Pre-Columbian, Mexican and North American cultures. The author’s great loom intertwines different lives, centuries and languages in a huge unique fabric, while past and present, male and female, First and Third World, together with any other element of cultural conflict, are constantly mixed and renewed in her deep disorienting border.

The Supreme Court and the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment
Creators: name: Barsotti, Vittoria
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2007

description: The case law interpreting the religious clauses of the First Amendment of the Constitution is extremely complex and not always coherent. This paper will try to draw an essential “map” of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in order to focus on issues, problems and solutions comparable to the ones that are relevant in the Italian legal system. After a very brief historical introduction, in the second part I will describe the most important cases on the Establishment Clause distinguishing several subjects areas: Access to school facilities on part of religious organizations; Religious symbols on public spaces; Prayer before a school sport event; Prayer at school; Curricula; Funding of religious schools. In the third part, following a schematic overview of the problems related to the interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause, I will describe the most relevant cases before 1960 and the recent developments. Part four will underline that the Warren Court – to a large extent followed by the Burger Court – offered a wide range interpretation of both the Establishment and the Free Exercise Clauses, while a change occurred during the years of Chief Justice Rehnquist. In part five I will observe that year 2005 is a significant one. In fact, President Bush (who had not had the possibility to fill any vacancy during his first term) appointed two new Justices. Chief Justice Roberts has been called to the chair that had belonged for a long time to Rehnquist, and Justice O’Connor (whose vote had always been decisive in matters of relationship between state and church) is replaced by Justice Alito. The importance of 2005 also emerges with relation to the religious clauses of the First Amendment. Evidence shows that, although the most conservative members of the Republican Party have been trying to influence the interpretation of both clauses, they have not always succeeded in their intent. Finally, I will briefly analyze Gonzales v. O Centro, an important case on religious freedom, decided in 2006 by the new court.

description: It is well known that ultranarrow electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonances can be observed in atomic gases at room temperature. We report here the experimental observation of another type of ultranarrow resonances, as narrow as the EIT ones, in a Λ-system selected by light polarization in metastable 4He at room temperature. It is shown to be due to coherent population oscillations in an open two-level system (TLS). For perpendicular linearly polarized coupling and probe beams, this system can be considered as two coupled open TLSs, in which the ground state populations exhibit anti-phase oscillations. We also predict theoretically that in case of two parallel polarizations, the system would behave like a closed TLS, and the narrow resonance associated with these oscillations would disappear.

description: Starting from a consideration of the United States as affected by the context of global power relations as well as affecting it, this essay investigates a number of key issues in American self-understanding and suggests their relevance to an understanding of the US attitude to the Islamic world and to Iraq. The conceptual retooling of European Orientalism into a narrative of unbounded expansion; the inherent global reach of the US millennial tradition of (self-)redemption, with the consequent ambiguous entwining of liberation and imperialism; the ambiguous relationship of the US to modernization as democratization – simultaneously expressing a commitment to the secular and a deep investment in the sacred – , and the inevitable political violence marking such a revolutionary project in its very philosophical foundations; the endurance of the frontier narrative as creating a permanent “injun country,” marked by the continuity between a logic of violent encounters outside, and of the ghetto and imprisonment inside the nation: these are some of the cultural issues that the essay examines, linking them to the US role in the current global field of power.

description: Forces in the actin cytoskeleton are generated by small groups of non-processive myosin II motors for which stochastic effects are highly relevant. Using a crossbridge model with the assumptions of fast powerstroke kinetics and equal load sharing between equivalent states, we derive a one-step master equation for the activity of a finite-sized ensemble of mechanically coupled myosin II motors. For constant external load, this approach yields analytical results for duty ratio and force-velocity relation as a function of ensemble size. We find that stochastic effects cannot be neglected for ensemble sizes below 15. The one-step master equation can be used also for efficient computer simulations with linear elastic external load and reveals the sequence of build-up of force and ensemble rupture that is characteristic for reconstituted actomyosin contractility.

The role of temperamental emotionality in the development and treatment of early externalising behavioural problems
Creators: name: Liu, Shu-Tsen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis aims to explore the role of temperamental emotionality in the development and early intervention of externalising behavioural problems (EBP). Given the evidence that early EBP has a lasting negative impact on adjustment outcomes, interventions are suggested to be offered as early as possible. Longitudinal research provides general support for temperamental emotionality as a risk factor for persistent early EBP and some evidence of its mediation between adverse parenting and EBP. However, it remains unclear whether temperamental emotionality should be targeted by parenting interventions to reduce early EBP. If temperamental emotionality can be measured accurately earlier and it leads to EBP, this may provide an earlier point of intervention. Study 1 examined measurement agreement between a caregiver-reported temperament questionnaire and an observational measure using parent-infant interactions as emotion elicitors. The findings of an absent or medium positive association between caregiver-reported and observed temperamental emotionality indicate that both measures capture different but somewhat overlapping components of temperamental emotionality. Study 2 and Study 3 were conducted with 300 toddlers at risk of behavioural difficulties and their parents, who were randomised to III receive Video feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) or treatment as usual. Study 2 found that decreases in caregiverreported negative emotionality, but not observed negative emotionality, were associated with decreases in EBP, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms and conduct problems. This supports negative emotionality as a general vulnerability across subtypes of early EBP. The finding of mediation of decreased negative emotionality between improved overreactive parenting and EBP indicates the importance of negative emotionality in coercive parent-child processes to early EBP. Study 3 experimentally tested whether negative emotionality could be a malleable target for VIPP-SD to reduce early EBP but found no evidence. Future research on how temperamental emotionality impacts parent-child transactional processes is worthwhile for innovating early intervention.
Discrete Model of Ideological Struggle Accounting for Migration

description: A discrete in time model of ideological competition is formulated taking into account population migration. The model is based on interactions between global populations of non-believers and followers of different ideologies. The complex dynamics of the attracting manifolds is investigated. Conversion from one ideology to another by means of (i) mass media influence and (ii) interpersonal relations is considered. Moreover a different birth rate is assumed for different ideologies, the rate being assumed to be positive for the reference population, made of initially non-believers. Ideological competition can happen in one or several regions in space. In the latter case, migration of non-believers and adepts is allowed; this leads to an enrichment of the ideological dynamics. Finally, the current ideological situation in the Arab countries and China is commented upon from the point of view of the presently developed mathematical model. The massive forced conversion by Ottoman Turks in the Balkans is briefly discussed.

description: Declarations about the waning role of religion in the modern world have now been displaced by the recognition that faith still captivates the human imagination, in the Middle East, in the U.S., and elsewhere. A world fully modernized and rationalized is a world that nonetheless remains “enchanted.” As a way of asking how to think about the role of religion in America, I look at three court cases from 2006 (in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Mississippi) that stage the battle over the teaching of alternatives to Darwin within the public school’s biology classes. Arguments on behalf of “Creationism” disable the discipline of science to mark and manage its boundaries, compromising the very definition of an academic discipline. To pursue this question of boundaries within a different historical moment, I then turn to Charles Sheldon, author of In His Steps (1897) and William James, author of The Will to Believe (1897) and Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), both of whom defend religion passionately while conceptualizing it very differently. For James, religion remains private. For Sheldon, genuine religiosity requires the faithful to enact their faith at all times and in every dimension of life. It is the legacy of that insistence, I argue, that effectively dismantles any “wall” between the church and other institutions, which is why it falls to the court to adjudicate the separation of faith and science.

logos, I. Antiquity

Publisher: name: Online Encyclopedia Philosophy of Nature

description: The word logos generally refers to the (spoken) word, though it should be borne in mind that this does not mean a single word but the combination of several words. An ancient encyclopaedia entry – the 100th of the pseudo-Platonic Definitions – defines logos as “a voice in signs that can name every single thing that exists” (Horoi). The verb belonging to logos is legein, it designates speaking as well as picking up or collecting. Thus, logos can be understood as selecting and meaningfully compiling. This in turn shows that logos as an assembly or “interweaving” (Plato) of words can refer to a narrative, a sentence, a speech or an argument as well as to a proportion or a measure. In Early Greek thought, Heraclitus uses logos to refer to an entity that holds together the conflicting forces of the cosmos. In Platonic-Aristotelian philosophy, as with the Sophists, one can observe the discussion of various kinds of logoi to which truth and falsity are attributed. In the Stoa, the logos becomes the (materially conceived) divine, which determines everything in the world completely rationally. In ancient Christian literature, which was strongly influenced by Neoplatonism, logos finally appears in the “event of Jesus Christ” (Bultmann) as “the WORD”, as the divine demand that reveals itself to mankind. The outstanding significance of the various conceptions of logos in European intellectual history is apparent not least in the critique of logocentrism, as formulated above all in the 20th century.

description: Disperse multiphase flows are common in the process industry. The efficiency of these processes depends on the properties of the disperse phase. As there are no models that can confidently predict the complex properties of disperse phases, analytical methods are needed that can reliably measure them. A key property of the disperse phase is its particle size distribution (PSD). The Optical Multimode Online Probe (OMOP) developed in our group enables inline measurements of the particle size distribution.

 However, automatic analysis of recorded images is still a bottleneck for the use of OMOP. We will present a new workflow that enables rapid adaptation of the analysis method to new systems. The workflow consists of two parts: I.) Generation of synthetic data with known PSD using a digital twin of the OMOP. II.) Training a CNN with the synthetic data. The digital twin uses ray tracing methods to generate synthetic images of particles. To extract the PSD from the images, YOLOv5 CNN is applied. We will present examples from real images of gas-liquid and liquid-liquid systems that demonstrate the performance of our CNN. This method will expand the applications of OMOP and help to analyse complex dispersive flows in a reliable manner.
OH Maser sources in W49N: probing differential anisotropic scattering with Zeeman pairs

description: Our analysis of a VLBA 12-hour synthesis observations of the OH masers in W49N has provided detailed high angular-resolution images of the maser sources, at 1612, 1665 and 1667 MHz. The images, of several dozens of spots, reveal anisotropic scatter broadening; with typical sizes of a few tens of milli-arc-seconds and axial ratios between 1.5 to 3. The image position angles oriented perpendicular to the galactic plane are interpreted in terms of elongation of electron-density irregularities parallel to the galactic plane, due to a similarly aligned local magnetic field. However, we find the apparent angular sizes on the average a factor of 2.5 less than those reported by Desai et al., indicating significantly less scattering than inferred earlier. The average position angle of the scattered broadened images is also seen to deviate significantly (by about 10 degrees) from that implied by the magnetic field in the Galactic plane. More intriguingly, for a few Zeeman pairs in our set, we find significant differences in the scatter broadened images for the two hands of polarization, even when apparent velocity separation is less than 0.1 km/s. Here we present the details of our observations and analysis, and discuss the interesting implications of our results for the intervening anisotropic magneto-ionic medium, as well as a comparison with the expectations based on earlier work.
