description: Controlled assembly of single-crystal, colloidal maghemite nanoparticles is facilitated via a high-temperature polyol-based pathway. Structural characterization shows that size-tunable nanoclusters of 50 and 86 nm diameters (D), with high dispersibility in aqueous media, are composed of $\sim$ 13 nm (d) crystallographically oriented nanoparticles. The interaction effects are examined against the increasing volume fraction, $ϕ$, of the inorganic magnetic phase that goes from individual colloidal nanoparticles ($ϕ$= 0.47) to clusters ($ϕ$= 0.72). The frozen-liquid dispersions of the latter exhibit weak ferrimagnetic behavior at 300 K. Comparative Mossbauer spectroscopic studies imply that intra-cluster interactions come into play. A new insight emerges from the clusters temperature-dependent ac susceptibility that displays two maxima in $χ$''(T), with strong frequency dispersion. Scaling-law analysis, together with the observed memory effects suggest that a superspin glass state settles-in at T$_{B}$ $\sim$ 160-200 K, while at lower-temperatures, surface spin-glass freezing is established at T$_{f}$ $\sim$40- 70 K. In such nanoparticle-assembled systems, with increased $ϕ$, Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the role of the inter-particle dipolar interactions and that of the constituent nanoparticles surface spin disorder in the emerging spin-glass dynamics.

description: We study the Stueckelberg field in de Sitter space, which is a massive vector field with the gauge fixing (GF) term $\frac{1}{2ζ} (A^μ\,_{;\, μ})^2$. We obtain the vacuum stress tensor, which consists of the transverse, longitudinal, temporal, and GF parts, and each contains various UV divergences. By the minimal subtraction rule, we regularize each part of the stress tensor to its pertinent adiabatic order. The transverse stress tensor is regularized to the 0th adiabatic order, the longitudinal, temporal, and GF stress tensors are regularized to the 2nd adiabatic order. The resulting total regularized vacuum stress tensor is convergent and maximally-symmetric, has a positive energy density, and respects the covariant conservation, and thus can be identified as the cosmological constant that drives the de Sitter inflation. Under the Lorenz condition $A^μ\,_{;\, μ}=0$, the regularized Stueckelberg stress tensor reduces to the regularized Proca stress tensor that contains only the transverse and longitudinal modes. In the massless limit, the regularized Stueckelberg stress tensor becomes zero, and is the same as that of the Maxwell field with the GF term, and no trace anomaly exists. If the order of adiabatic regularization were lower than our prescription, some divergences would remain. If the order were higher, say, under the conventional 4th-order regularization, more terms than necessary would be subtracted off, leading to an unphysical negative energy density and the trace anomaly simultaneously.

and collective bargaining produced by the Women’s Occupational Health Resource Center (WOHRC). The WOHRC (1979-1987) was a research and training program devoted to identifying and better understanding hazards faced by women workers. WOHRC was housed in Columbia’s School of Public Health and directed by Professor Jeanne Mager Stellman. WOHRC was a designated OSHA New Directions Training program, and also received support from other federal and private agencies. As a New Directions project, WOHRC trained thousands of workers and professionals in hazard recognition and accident and illness prevention for women workers. In order to carry out its public health programs, WOHRC developed and disseminated original educational materials. The materials were designed to be authoritative while at the same time accessible to non-professional users (e.g. the workers). WOHRC published a monthly newsletter that contained a “fact sheet” focusing on a particular job or a particular hazard. The fact sheets were also made available individually or collected into “fact packs” of related materials.

description: The arrival of TeV-energy photons from distant galaxies is expected to be affected by their QED interaction with intergalactic radiation fields through electron-positron pair production. In theories where high-energy photons violate Lorentz symmetry, the kinematics of the process $γ+ γ\rightarrow e^+ + e^-$ is altered and the cross-section suppressed. Consequently, one would expect more of the highest-energy photons to arrive if QED is modified by Lorentz violation than if it is not. We estimate the sensitivity of Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to changes in the $γ$-ray horizon of the Universe due to Lorentz violation, and find that it should be competitive with other leading constraints.

title: Cultural diversity, population structure, and habitability during the eastern African Middle Stone Age
Creators: name: Timbrell, Lucy
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Although it was originally thought that our own species, Homo sapiens, evolved from a single population in Africa, patterns of diversity in fossil, archaeological, and genetic data now suggest a much more structured and reticulate process in response to varying environmental conditions through time. This thesis provides an investigation of environmentally driven population dynamics during the Middle Stone Age in a case study region of eastern Africa. A variety of complementary quantitative methods are applied to identify the impacts of habitat fluctuation on cultural diversity during this key period when our species first emerges in the record. Specifically, complex shape analyses of Middle Stone Age points, an (albeit imperfect) archaeological proxy for group identity, are used to test the predictions of group interaction from a climatically driven model of habitation that maps how conditions conducive to early human habitation fluctuated through time and space. This model delineates the changing areas of potential human occupation across Africa and the potential corridors between them, which are correlated with patterns of similarity and difference in the archaeological data. To collect the archaeological data during the COVID-19 pandemic, a scientifically robust collaborative data collection framework was developed to facilitate remote access to African museum collections, involving an equitable and cooperative approach to data generation. The results indicate that eastern African Middle Stone Age populations occupied diverse landscapes, with precipitation and access to water vital for determining site locations and corridors between them, as well as having significant influences over cultural diversity at both the assemblage and artefact-level. Almost half of the variance in point shape is found to be explained by spatial, temporal, and environmental autocorrelation, potentially suggesting stable cultural transmission throughout the region, though a large proportion of unexplained variance can be linked to stylistic variability between individual assemblages. The suitability of the environment that a population is situated within appears to condition point shape diversity to an extent, with interesting patterns of variance between assemblages observed considering the speculative dispersal routes between sites. Overall, complex modelling approaches, such as the one taken in this thesis, are needed to explain the ever-richer African record, will help develop new anthropological and archaeological theory and methods for understanding past population structure, and will advance our knowledge of the effects of climate change on human evolution.

description: Motility and nonreciprocity are two primary mechanisms for self-organization in active matter. In a recent study [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 148301 (2023)], we explored their joint influence in a minimal model of two-species quorum-sensing active particles interacting via mutual motility regulation. Our results notably revealed a highly dynamic phase of chaotic chasing bands that is absent when either nonreciprocity or self-propulsion is missing. Here, we examine further the phase behavior of nonreciprocal quorum-sensing active particles, distinguishing between the regimes of weak and strong nonreciprocity. In the weakly nonreciprocal regime, this system exhibits multi-component motility-induced phase separation. We establish an analytical criterion for the associated phase coexistence, enabling a quantitative prediction of the phase diagram. For strong nonreciprocity, where the dynamics is chase-and-run-like, we numerically determine the phase behavior and show that it strongly depends on the scale of observation. In small systems, our numerical simulations reveal a phenomenology consistent with phenomenological models, comprising traveling phase-separated domains and spiral-like defect patterns. However, we show that these structures are generically unstable in large systems, where they are superseded by bulk phase coexistence between domains that are either homogeneous or populated by mesoscopic chasing bands. Crucially, this implies that collective motion totally vanishes at large scales, while the breakdown of our analytical criterion for this phase coexistence with multi-scale structures prevents us from predicting the corresponding phase diagram.

description: We study the melting dynamics of large ice balls in a turbulent von Karman flow at very high Reynolds number. Using an optical shadowgraphy setup, we record the time evolution of particle sizes. We study the heat transfer as a function of the particle scale Reynolds number for three cases: fixed ice balls melting in a region of strong turbulence with zero mean flow, fixed ice balls melting under the action of a strong mean flow with lower fluctuations, and ice balls freely advected in the whole flow. For the fixed particles cases, heat transfer is observed to be much stronger than in laminar flows, the Nusselt number behaving as a power law of the Reynolds number of exponent 0.8. For freely advected ice balls, the turbulent transfer is further enhanced and the Nusselt number is proportional to the Reynolds number. The surface heat flux is then independent of the particles size, leading to an ultimate regime of heat transfer reached when the thermal boundary layer is fully turbulent.

description: Introduction:

Although ruptured atherosclerotic plaques have been extensively analyzed, the composition of thrombi causing arterial occlusion in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction has been less thoroughly investigated. We sought to investigate whether coagulant active tissue factor can be retrieved in thrombi of patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods:

Nineteen patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled in this study. Coronary thrombi aspirated from coronary arteries were routinely processed for paraffin embedding and histological evaluation (4 patients) or immediately snap frozen for evaluation of tissue factor activity using a modified aPTT test (15 patients). Immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblotting was also performed in 12 patients.

Results:

Thrombi aspirated from coronary arteries showed large and irregular areas of tissue factor staining within platelet aggregates, and in close contact with inflammatory cells. Some platelet aggregates stained positive for tissue factor, whereas others did not. Monocytes consistently stained strongly for tissue factor, neutrophils had a more variable and irregular tissue factor staining, and red blood cells did not demonstrate staining for tissue factor. Median clotting time of plasma samples containing homogenized thrombi incubated with a monoclonal antibody that specifically inhibits tissue factor-mediated coagulation activity (mAb 5G9) were significantly longer than their respective controls (88.9 seconds versus 76.5 seconds, respectively; p<0.001). Tissue factor was also identified by immunoprecipitation in 10 patients, with significant variability among band intensities.

Conclusions:

Active tissue factor is present in coronary artery thrombi of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction, suggesting that it contributes to activate the coagulation cascade ensuing in coronary thrombosis.

Creating an ISO Standard for the DDI Suite
Creators: name: Gillman, Dan

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Since DDI is a suite of standards and other semantic products, the idea of creating an ISO standard for them is a challenge. Do we pick one of the DDI products and create a standard for that? Which one? Why? Will the revision schedule for the product selected interfere with the creation and maintenance for the standard? Will the Alliance be able to provide the resources for an ambitious standardization process? And can we produce a standard that represents the work under DDI yet stands on its own and is not subject to the revision schedule for DDI products?  Rather than try to address these questions directly, the Scientific Board established a temporary working group (tWG) to look into the question. The tWG elected to copy the approach SDMX took for a similar project 20 years ago. The SDMX standard focused on the core strength of SDMX - exchange. So, the tWG endeavored to find similar strengths of DDI. What are the core strengths of the products in the DDI suite?  The tWG decided to focus on variables (the variable cascade in particular) and the data lifecycle. Each DDI standard addresses variables and can be situated in the data lifecycle. These are the core strengths. Creating a standard around these will satisfy all the conditions laid out above.  This paper considers the questions posed above and addresses the answers outlined. Finally, the path forward in the ISO community will be described.

description: Objective. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the correlations between mentoring functions and political skill development among nurses who have earned or are candidates for a Ph.D. or doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) degree. Background. The healthcare system is in flux; future generations of Ph.D. and DNP nurse leaders will be required to demonstrate political acumen. Political skill to navigate organizational politics has had limited research within nursing. Methods. A cross-sectional research design using a web-based survey of 222 nurses who have earned or are candidates for a Ph.D. or DNP. This study utilized two validated tools to measure mentoring functions and political skill. Results. The response rate was 52% () of which 86 were Ph.D. and 29 were DNPs. An informal mentoring relationship was described by 62% of the respondents and formal mentoring by 35% of the protégés; only 25% () established a mentoring contract. Mentoring score showed significance for total political skill and moderate effect on the networking ability. The mentoring functions of advocacy, career development facilitation, learning facilitation, and friendship were found to correlate significantly with total political skill scores. Conclusions. This study established a benefit for nurses who have earned or are candidates for a Ph.D. or DNP from mentoring to support political skill development.

description: Dynamin 1–3 isoforms are known to be involved in endocytotic processes occurring during synaptic transmission. No data has directly linked dynamins yet with normal animal behavior. Here we show that dynamin pharmacologic inhibition markedly impairs hippocampal-dependent associative memory. Memory loss was associated with changes in synaptic function occurring during repetitive stimulation that is thought to be linked with memory induction. Synaptic fatigue was accentuated by dynamin inhibition. Moreover, dynamin inhibition markedly reduced long-term potentiation, post-tetanic potentiation, and neurotransmitter released during repetitive stimulation. Most importantly, the effect of dynamin inhibition onto memory and synaptic plasticity was due to a specific involvement of the dynamin 1 isoform, as demonstrated through a genetic approach with siRNA against this isoform to temporally block it. Taken together, these findings identify dynamin 1 as a key protein for modulation of memory and release evoked by repetitive activity.

description: This study examined the gender disparities in access to productive assets and their impact on the productivity of smallholder rice farmers in Benue State, Nigeria. Utilizing a sample of 269 rice farmers, randomly selected from six Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Benue State, data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test. The findings revealed significant gender disparities in access to key productive assets, including agricultural credit, improved rice varieties, and mechanization tools, with male farmers having greater access compared to their female counterparts. These disparities contribute to substantial productivity differentials, with male farmers demonstrating significantly higher productivity levels (mean of 10,031,961.33 kg) compared to female farmers (mean of 922,662.30 kg). The t-test results further confirm the statistical significance of these differences (p < 0.05). The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to enhance female farmers' access to productive resources and improve their agricultural productivity, and recommended that rice farmers who women should come together to form cooperative societies as this will help to pool resources, increase bargaining power, provide access to collective credit facilities, and facilitate bulk purchasing of inputs like seeds and fertilizers; women rice farmers should engage in advocacy to influence State and Local Government policies that promote gender equality in access to agricultural resources; women rice farmers could also collaborate with NGOs and development agencies that focus on women’s empowerment in agriculture

A Rho-mDia-EB1 pathway regulates the formation of stable MTs, yet how selective stabilization of MTs is achieved is unknown. Kinesin activity has been implicated in selective MT stabilization and a number of kinesins regulate MT dynamics both in vitro and in cells. Here, we show that the mammalian homolog of Xenopus XKLP1, Kif4, is both necessary and sufficient for the induction of selective MT stabilization in fibroblasts. Kif4 localized to the ends of stable MTs and participated in the Rho-mDia-EB1 MT stabilization pathway since Kif4 depletion blocked mDia- and EB1-induced selective MT stabilization and EB1 was necessary for Kif4 induction of stable MTs. Kif4 and EB1 interacted in cell extracts, and binding studies revealed that the tail domain of Kif4 interacted directly with the N-terminal domain of EB1. Consistent with its role in regulating formation of stable MTs in interphase cells, Kif4 knockdown inhibited migration of cells into wounded monolayers. These data identify Kif4 as a novel factor in the Rho-mDia-EB1 MT stabilization pathway and cell migration.

description: Time-of-flight cameras provide depth information, which is complementary to the photometric appearance of the scene in ordinary images. It is desirable to merge the depth and colour information, in order to obtain a coherent scene representation. However, the individual cameras will have different viewpoints, resolutions and fields of view, which means that they must be mutually calibrated. This paper presents a geometric framework for this multi-view and multi-modal calibration problem. It is shown that three-dimensional projective transformations can be used to align depth and parallax-based representations of the scene, with or without Euclidean reconstruction. A new evaluation procedure is also developed; this allows the reprojection error to be decomposed into calibration and sensor-dependent components. The complete approach is demonstrated on a network of three time-of-flight and six colour cameras. The applications of such a system, to a range of automatic scene-interpretation problems, are discussed.

description: Few studies had investigated genome-wide methylation in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Our goals were to study differential methylation across the genome in gene promoters using an array-based method, as well as repetitive elements using surrogate global methylation markers. The discovery sample set for this study consisted of 54 GBM from Columbia University and Case Western Reserve University, and 24 brain controls from the New York Brain Bank. We assembled a validation dataset using methylation data of 162 TCGA GBM and 140 brain controls from dbGAP. HumanMethylation27 Analysis Bead-Chips (Illumina) were used to interrogate 26,486 informative CpG sites in both the discovery and validation datasets. Global methylation levels were assessed by analysis of L1 retrotransposon (LINE1), 5 methyl-deoxycytidine (5m-dC) and 5 hydroxylmethyl-deoxycytidine (5hm-dC) in the discovery dataset. We validated a total of 1548 CpG sites (1307 genes) that were differentially methylated in GBM compared to controls. There were more than twice as many hypomethylated genes as hypermethylated ones. Both the discovery and validation datasets found 5 tumor methylation classes. Pathway analyses showed that the top ten pathways in hypomethylated genes were all related to functions of innate and acquired immunities. Among hypermethylated pathways, transcriptional regulatory network in embryonic stem cells was the most significant. In the study of global methylation markers, 5m-dC level was the best discriminant among methylation classes, whereas in survival analyses, high level of LINE1 methylation was an independent, favorable prognostic factor in the discovery dataset. Based on a pathway approach, hypermethylation in genes that control stem cell differentiation were significant, poor prognostic factors of overall survival in both the discovery and validation datasets. Approaches that targeted these methylated genes may be a future therapeutic goal.

Race, Death, and Justice: Capital Sentencing in Washington State, 1981-2014

description: This Article examines the role of race in the application of the death penalty in the wake of the Furman v. Georgia decision.  Although contemporary death penalty statutes were designed to reduce arbitrariness and discrimination in capital sentencing, many studies indicate that race continues to play a significant role in determining which capital defendants live and which die in the post-Furman era.  To date, however, no published study has examined the role of race in capital sentencing in Washington State, where the statutory framework effectively reduces the number of homicide cases that are eligible for capital punishment and prosecutorial discretion is therefore comparatively circumscribed.  This Article assesses whether race influences the administration of capital punishment in Washington State, and if so, where in the process it matters.  On the one hand, the narrowness of the statutory framework may effectively constrain prosecutorial discretion in ways that minimize the role of race.  On the other hand, experimental research suggests that unconscious stereotypes that link Blacks to violence are widespread, and that jury selection and deliberations tend to amplify jurors’ implicit biases.  We therefore hypothesize that race will matter most at the sentencing (as opposed to the filing) stage of the process.  To test this, we analyze prosecutorial and jury decision-making in all Washington aggravated murder cases adjudicated since 1981 for which information is available.  The results of statistical regression analyses support this hypothesis: although neither the race of the defendant nor the victim affect prosecutorial decision-making, jurors are more than four times more likely to impose a death sentence when the defendant is Black.  These findings suggest that race plays a significant role in capital sentencing even where the statutory framework effectively narrows the pool of homicide cases that may result in the death penalty.

description: In 2014, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York released a report on their investigation into the patterns and practices of treatment of adolescent inmates on Rikers Island, finding systemic defects that result in the pervasive violation of the adolescent inmates’ constitutional rights. Ninety-five percent of the adolescent population on Rikers is Black or Latino. New York is uniquely harsh with its treatment of 16- and 17-year-olds, as it and North Carolina are the only states to set the minimum age of criminal responsibility at 16. Over seventy-five percent of youth on Rikers Island are awaiting trial and have not been convicted of a crime. The prevalence of the unconstitutional conduct on Rikers Island is attributable, in large part, to the lack of accountability among Department of Corrections (DOC) staff members on Rikers Island, which results in a code of silence. To effectively deal with the pervasive pattern and practice of conduct on the part of DOC staff that violates adolescent inmates on Rikers Island’s constitutional rights, it is crucial to understand the differences between adolescents and adults and the power of the DOC staff union. This Note posits that in order to create meaningful reform and protect the constitutional rights of adolescent inmates, the cut-off age for criminal responsibility should be raised so that 16- and 17-year-olds fall under the jurisdiction of the Family Court and are not placed on Rikers Island. Additionally, the portion of the Administrative Code requiring all uniformed DOC ranks to be filled by promotion from within the uniformed force must be amended to obstruct the code of silence and prevent violence against inmates. Without such measures, the abuses against minority youth on Rikers Island will persist.
Your Eyes Give You Away: Prestimulus Changes in Pupil Diameter Correlate with Poststimulus Task-Related EEG Dynamics

description: Pupillary measures have been linked to arousal and attention as well as activity in the brainstem's locus coeruleus norepinephrine (LC-NE) system. Similarly, there is evidence that evoked EEG responses, such as the P3, might have LC-NE activity as their basis. Since it is not feasible to record electrophysiological data directly from the LC in humans due to its location in the brainstem, an open question has been whether pupillary measures and EEG variability can be linked in a meaningful way to shed light on the nature of the LC-NE role in attention and arousal. We used an auditory oddball task with a data-driven approach to learn task-relevant projections of the EEG, for windows of data spanning the entire trial. We investigated linear and quadratic relationships between the evoked EEG along these projections and both prestimulus (baseline) and poststimulus (evoked dilation) pupil diameter measurements. We found that baseline pupil diameter correlates with early (175–200 ms) and late (350–400 ms) EEG component variability, suggesting a linear relationship between baseline (tonic) LC-NE activity and evoked EEG. We found no relationships between evoked EEG and evoked pupil dilation, which is often associated with evoked (phasic) LC activity. After regressing out reaction time (RT), the correlation between EEG variability and baseline pupil diameter remained, suggesting that such correlation is not explainable by RT variability. We also investigated the relationship between these pupil measures and prestimulus EEG alpha activity, which has been reported as a marker of attentional state, and found a negative linear relationship with evoked pupil dilation. In summary, our results demonstrate significant relationships between prestimulus and poststimulus neural and pupillary measures, and they provide further evidence for tight coupling between attentional state and evoked neural activity and for the role of cortical and subcortical networks underlying the process of target detection.

description: We consider second-order evolution equations in an abstract setting with intermittently delayed/ not-delayed damping. We give sufficient conditions for asymptotic and exponential stability, improving and generalising our previous results from [19]. In particular, under suitable conditions, we can consider unbounded damping operators. Some concrete examples are finally presented.
