title: The Middle East in World Affairs Understanding Iran's Changing Transnational and International Role
Creators: name: Renfro, Marla
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: In 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran emerged on the international stage and began to establish itself as a participant in global terrorism. Throughout the period 1979-96, officials linked numerous terrorist actions and operations to Iran; this link could have involve Iran's direct sponsorship or indirect involvement, such as by providing monetary support to operatives. In order to develop strategies to prevent or minimize the threat of terrorist attack, Iran's role in global terrorism must be assessed.

The purpose of this work is threefold: to demonstrate the role taken by Iran in global terrorism from 1979 to 1996, to explain why the Iranian state engaged in terrorism, and to illustrate Iran's participation in international and transnational terrorism respectively. Meeting these objectives relies upon available information and literature on Iran and Islamic fundamentalist movements and organizations with terroristic branches. The study finds that Iran's participation in global terrorism, as a sponsoring or supporting state, is related to its domestic environment and to perceived threats to Iran's regime, either domestic and international.

description: The 11.3 $μ$m emission feature is a prominent member of the family of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands and is frequently attributed to out-of-plane bending modes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. We have performed quantum mechanical calculations of 60 neutral PAH molecules and found that it is difficult to reconcile the observed astronomical feature with any or a mix of these PAH molecules. We have further analyzed the fitting of spectra of several astronomical objects by the NASA PAH database program and found that reasonable fittings to the observed spectra are only possible by including significant contributions from oxygen and/or magnesium containing molecules in the mix. A mixed of pure PAH molecules, even including units of different sizes, geometry and charged states, is unable to fit the astronomical spectra. Preliminary theoretical results on the vibrational spectra of simple molecules with mixed aromatic/aliphatic structures show that these structures have consistent bundles of vibrational modes and could be viable carriers of the UIE bands.

description: Since the experimental observation of quantum mechanical scattering phase shift in mesoscopic systems, several aspects of it has not yet been understood. The experimental observations has also accentuated many theoretical problems related to Friedel sum rule and negativity of partial density of states. We address these problems using the concepts of Argand diagram and Burgers circuit. We can prove the possibility of negative partial density of states in mesoscopic systems. Such a conclusive and general evidence cannot be given in one, two or three dimensions. We can show a general connection between phase drops and exactness of semi classical Friedel sum rule. We also show Argand diagram for a scattering matrix element can be of few classes based on their topology and all observations can be classified accordingly.

title: Towards a Universal Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
Creators: name: Radhakrishnan, T. P.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: The 1968 Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) came into force in 1970 and expires in 1995. In 1995 an extension conference has to be convened to decide whether the treaty continues in force indefinitely or will be extended for an additional period or periods.

The treaty, cosponsored by the us, the USSR, and the UK, has 155 signatories, but a few countries like Israel, India and Pakistan have refused to be bound by it. They have done so mainly on the formal grounds that the treaty is structurally discriminatory between nuclear and nonnuclear weapons states.

What are the effects of Israeli, Indian and Pakistani non-compliance behavior on the universality of the NPT and the viability of the system in light of special problems presented by these countries? It is concluded in this study that these nations will not be joining the NPT in the near future, that they have deep commitments to remaining outside the treaty and that their non-adherence will not have a major influence on the future of the treaty.
Selecting Ions by Size in a Calcium Channel: The Ryanodine Receptor Case Study
Creators: name: Xu, Le
name: Gillespie, Dirk

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Many calcium channels can distinguish between ions of the same charge but different size. For example, when cations are in direct competition with each other, the ryanodine receptor (RyR) calcium channel preferentially conducts smaller cations such as Li+ and Na+ over larger ones such as K+ and Cs+. Here, we analyze the physical basis for this preference using a previously established model of RyR permeation and selectivity. Like other calcium channels, RyR has four aspartate residues in its GGGIGDE selectivity filter. These aspartates have their terminal carboxyl group in the pore lumen, which take up much of the available space for permeating ions. We find that small ions are preferred by RyR because they can fit into this crowded environment more easily.

The age-metallicity dependence for white dwarfs

description: We present a theoretical study on the metallicity dependence of the initial$-$to$-$final mass relation and its influence on white dwarf age determinations. We compute a grid of evolutionary sequences from the main sequence to $\sim 3\, 000$ K on the white dwarf cooling curve, passing through all intermediate stages. During the thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch no third dredge-up episodes are considered and thus the photospheric C/O ratio is below unity for sequences with metallicities larger than $Z=0.0001$. We consider initial metallicities from $Z=0.0001$ to $Z=0.04$, accounting for stellar populations in the galactic disk and halo, with initial masses below $\sim 3M_{\odot}$. We found a clear dependence of the shape of the initial$-$to$-$final mass relation with the progenitor metallicity, where metal rich progenitors result in less massive white dwarf remnants, due to an enhancement of the mass loss rates associated to high metallicity values. By comparing our theoretical computations with semi empirical data from globular and old open clusters, we found that the observed intrinsic mass spread can be accounted for by a set of initial$-$to$-$final mass relations characterized by different metallicity values. Also, we confirm that the lifetime spent before the white dwarf stage increases with metallicity. Finally, we estimate the mean mass at the top of the white dwarf cooling curve for three globular clusters NGC 6397, M4 and 47 Tuc, around $0.53 M_{\odot}$, characteristic of old stellar populations. However, we found different values for the progenitor mass, lower for the metal poor cluster, NGC 6397, and larger for the younger and metal rich cluster 47 Tuc, as expected from the metallicity dependence of the initial$-$to$-$final mass relation.

description: We theoretically study equilibrium and dynamic properties of nanosized magnetic skyrmions in thin magnetic films with broken inversion symmetry, where electric field couples to magnetization via spin-orbit coupling. Based on a symmetry-based phenomenology and micromagnetic simulations we show that this electric-field coupling, via renormalizing the micromagnetic energy, modifies the equilibrium properties of the skyrmion. This change, in turn, results in a significant alteration of the current-induced skyrmion motion. Particularly, speed and direction of the skyrmion can be manipulated by designing a desired energy landscape electrically, which we describe within Thiele's analytical model and demonstrate in micromagnetic simulations including electric-field-controlled magnetic anisotropy. We additionally use this electric-field control to construct gates for controlling skyrmion motion exhibiting a transistor-like and multiplexer-like function. The proposed electric-field effect can thus provide a low energy electrical knob to extend the reach of information processing with skyrmions.

The Transmembrane Domain Peptide of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Promotes Both Intermediate and Pore Formation during PEG-Mediated Vesicle Fusion

description: We propose mechanisms by which the transmembrane domain of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-TMD) promotes both initiation of fusion and formation of a fusion pore. Time courses of polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-mediated fusion of 25 nm small unilamellar vesicles composed of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), bovine brain sphingomyelin, and cholesterol (35:30:15:20 molar ratio) were recorded at pH 7.4 at five different temperatures (from 17°C to 37°C) and compared with time courses obtained with the same vesicles containing the fusion-active TMD of the G protein of VSV. Multiple time courses were fitted globally to a one-intermediate ensemble kinetic model to estimate the rate constants for conversion of the aggregated state to an intermediate hemifused state (k1, stalk, or I1) that rapidly transits to an unstable intermediate (I2 state) that converts to a final fusion pore state with a combined rate k3. The probabilities of lipid mixing, contents mixing, and contents leakage in the three states were also obtained from this analysis. The activation thermodynamics for each step were consistent with previously published models of lipid rearrangements during intermediate and pore formation. The influences of VSV-TMD, hexadecane, and VSV-TMD + hexadecane on the kinetics, activation thermodynamics, and membrane structure support the hypothesis that these two agents do not catalyze fusion by a common mechanism, except possibly at the lowest temperatures examined. VSV-TMD primarily catalyzed initial intermediate formation, although it substantially increased the probability of contents mixing in the intermediate state. Our results support the hypothesis that the catalytic influence of VSV-TMD on the initial-intermediate- and pore-forming steps of PEG-mediated fusion derives from its ability to impose a positive intrinsic curvature and thereby stress small unilamellar vesicle outer leaflets as well as the periphery of intermediate microstructures.

description: Democracy, as understood by international human rights law, is a pluralist one. Freedom of association is essential for any pluralist democracy. There is, however, an inherent tension between liberal human rights cosmopolitanism and democratic self-determination of a given group. While external voices must be heard in a liberal democracy, there are good reasons to control the impact of financial power. During the last twenty years, many States have enacted laws that go far beyond what would be acceptable in a pluralist democracy, thus shrinking the space for civil society. This development reveals a fundamental scepticism towards liberalism and pluralism, which form the very basis of international human rights law. At the same time, the growing aversion against foreign influence reflects a dwindling transnational consent on which values should be promoted.

description: A plant useful for phytoremediation has first to grow in the presence of the target pollutant without being harmed. The plant must not only be resistant to the pollutant, but must also be able to remove it from the environment and transform it into nontoxic metabolites or end products. Differences in the ability of various plant species to accumulate and metabolize particular pollutants do exist, indicating that in choosing the most appropriate species in the development of any phytoremediation process, natural biodiversity should be better explored and exploited. Plant taxonomy and phytochemistry can help in the exploitation of biochemical specificities of plants that produce natural chemicals with structures similar to xenobiotic compounds. In the case of atrazine, however, numerous results obtained for agronomical purposes are extremely useful in choosing the most appropriate families or genera for phytoremediation.

description: Considering the cubic theory of gravity which has been constructed in \cite{myers}, we study the existence of Lifshitz and hyper scaling violating Lifshitz solutions. We firstly extend the black hole solution of \cite{myers} and find that such extended solutions are valid for any value of dynamical exponent $z$. Next, we examine the existence of the AdS black hole solution with non-zero hyperscaling-violating exponent $θ$ and general dynamical exponent $z$. We find that the solutions do exist only for $θ=0,3$ in 4 dimension and $θ=0,4$ in 5 dimension. In particular, when $θ=3(4)$ in $4(5)$ dimension, we have Lifshitz and Schwarzschild-AdS black hole solution solution for $z=\{0,1\}$.

title: The Implementation of the Reagan Administration's Counterterrorist Policy
Creators: name: Steinberg, Howard Lawrence
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: This thesis investigates the implementation of President Ronald Reagan's active counterterrorist policy. The paper attempts to determine why the stated policy of "swift and effective retribution" was not carried out. This paper concentrates on the discrepancies between the numerous statements advocating retaliation made by Reagan and his top officials and the failure of these officials to administer the necessary orders for such retaliatory policies. This research indicated numerous causes, although the primary cause is attributed to the divergent opinions of the reticent Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and the more retributive views of the two successive Secretaries of State, Alexander Haig and George Shultz. Additional causes include public opinion, relations with other states, and military problems. This thesis concludes that poor cabinet officer selection led to inertia in implementation of the policy, although other factors contributed to this inaction.

description: The cytochrome bc complexes b6f and bc1 catalyze proton-coupled quinol/quinone redox reactions to generate a transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient. Quinol oxidation on the electrochemically positive (p) interface of the complex occurs at the end of a narrow quinol/quinone entry/exit Qp portal, 11 Å long in bc complexes. Superoxide, which has multiple signaling functions, is a by-product of the p-side quinol oxidation. Although the transmembrane core and the chemistry of quinone redox reactions are conserved in bc complexes, the rate of superoxide generation is an order of magnitude greater in the b6f complex, implying that functionally significant differences in structure exist between the b6f and bc1 complexes on the p-side. A unique structure feature of the b6f p-side quinol oxidation site is the presence of a single chlorophyll-a molecule whose function is unrelated to light harvesting. This study describes a cocrystal structure of the cytochrome b6f complex with the quinol analog stigmatellin, which partitions in the Qp portal of the bc1 complex, but not effectively in b6f. It is inferred that the Qp portal is partially occluded in the b6f complex relative to bc1. Based on a discrete molecular-dynamics analysis, occlusion of the Qp portal is attributed to the presence of the chlorophyll phytyl tail, which increases the quinone residence time within the Qp portal and is inferred to be a cause of enhanced superoxide production. This study attributes a novel (to our knowledge), structure-linked function to the otherwise enigmatic chlorophyll-a in the b6f complex, which may also be relevant to intracellular redox signaling.

description: Given the difficulty in finding a cure for HIV/AIDS, a promising prevention strategy to reduce HIV transmission is to directly block infection at the portal of entry. The recent Thai RV144 trial offered the first evidence that an antibody-based vaccine may block heterosexual HIV transmission. Unfortunately, the underlying mechanism(s) for protection remain unclear. Here we theoretically examine a hypothesis that builds on our recent laboratory observation: virus-specific antibodies (Ab) can trap individual virions in cervicovaginal mucus (CVM), thereby reducing infection in vivo. Ab are known to have a weak—previously considered inconsequential—binding affinity with the mucin fibers that constitute CVM. However, multiple Ab can bind to the same virion at the same time, which markedly increases the overall Ab-mucin binding avidity, and creates an inheritable virion-mucin affinity. Our model takes into account biologically relevant length and timescales, while incorporating known HIV-Ab affinity and the respective diffusivities of viruses and Ab in semen and CVM. The model predicts that HIV-specific Ab in CVM leads to rapid formation and persistence of an HIV concentration front near the semen/CVM interface, far from the vaginal epithelium. Such an HIV concentration front minimizes the flux of HIV virions reaching target cells, and maximizes their elimination upon drainage of genital secretions. The robustness of the result implies that even exceedingly weak Ab-mucin affinity can markedly reduce the flux of virions reaching target cells. Beyond this specific application, the model developed here is adaptable to other pathogens, mucosal barriers, and geometries, as well as kinetic and diffusional effects, providing a tool for hypothesis testing and producing quantitative insights into the dynamics of immune-mediated protection.

description: Consistency management, the ability to detect, diagnose and handle inconsistencies, is crucial during the development process in Model-driven Engineering (MDE). As the popularity and application scenarios of MDE expanded, a variety of different techniques were proposed to address these tasks in specific contexts. Of the various stages of consistency management, this work focuses on inconsistency fixing in MDE, where such task is embodied by model repair techniques. This paper proposes a feature-based classification system for model repair techniques, based on an systematic review of previously proposed approaches. We expect this work to assist both the developers of novel techniques and the MDE practitioners looking for suitable solutions.

description: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. The standard of care for newly diagnosed GB involves surgical resection followed by radiochemotherapy with temozolomide, with or without tumor-treating fields. In recent years, various efforts have been made to identify suitable molecularly targeted treatment options for malignant brain tumors. This meta-analysis provides an overview of recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with and without molecular stratification, analyzing targeted agents in patients with newly diagnosed GB. The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (Ovid), ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and Google Scholar were searched for RCTs on targeted therapies in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were extracted and pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis. Twelve RCTs (n=3,941 patients) involving protein kinase inhibitors, proteasome and histone deacetylase inhibitors, anti-angiogenic approaches, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors were included in the meta-analysis. None of the targeted agents achieved a significant benefit with regard to OS (HR=0.98 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.86-1.11, p=0.7731]. By comparison, targeted therapy showed a benefit for PFS (HR=0.83 [95% CI 0.74-0.94, p=0.0037], especially for patients with an unmethylated O6-Methylguanin-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter (0.75 [95% CI 0.56-0.99, p=0.0440]). Prolongation of PFS was largely driven by VEGF inhibition with bevacizumab (HR=0.70 [95% CI 0.61-0.80, p=0.0000]). VEGF inhibition with bevacizumab prolonged PFS in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma compared with standard care. However, no improvement in OS was observed with any of the targeted agents.

description: We derive the odd parity perturbation equation in scalar-tensor theories with a non minimal kinetic coupling sector of the general Horndeski theory, where the kinetic term is coupled to the metric and the Einstein tensor. We derive the potential of the perturbation, by identifying a master function and switching to tortoise coordinates. We then prove the mode stability under linear odd- parity perturbations of hairy black holes in this sector of Horndeski theory, when a cosmological constant term in the action is included. Finally, we comment on the existence of slowly rotating black hole solutions in this setup and discuss their implications on the physics of compact objects configurations, such as neutron stars.

description: The HIV-1 frameshift site (FS) plays a critical role in viral replication. During translation, the HIV-1 FS transitions from a 3-helix to a 2-helix junction RNA secondary structure. The 2-helix junction structure contains a GGA bulge, and purine-rich bulges are common motifs in RNA secondary structure. Here, we investigate the dynamics of the HIV-1 FS 2-helix junction RNA. Interhelical motions were studied under different ionic conditions using NMR order tensor analysis of residual dipolar couplings. In 150 mM potassium, the RNA adopts a 43°(±4°) interhelical bend angle (β) and displays large amplitude, anisotropic interhelical motions characterized by a 0.52(±0.04) internal generalized degree of order (GDOint) and distinct order tensor asymmetries for its two helices (η = 0.26(±0.04) and 0.5(±0.1)). These motions are effectively quenched by addition of 2 mM magnesium (GDOint = 0.87(±0.06)), which promotes a near-coaxial conformation (β = 15°(±6°)) of the two helices. Base stacking in the bulge was investigated using the fluorescent purine analog 2-aminopurine. These results indicate that magnesium stabilizes extrahelical conformations of the bulge nucleotides, thereby promoting coaxial stacking of helices. These results are highly similar to previous studies of the HIV transactivation response RNA, despite a complete lack of sequence similarity between the two RNAs. Thus, the conformational space of these RNAs is largely determined by the topology of their interhelical junctions.

description: The [O III] $λλ$ 4959,5007 lines are a useful proxy to test the kinematic of the narrow-line region (NLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGN). In AGN, and particularly in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) these lines often show few peculiar features, such as blue wings, often interpreted as outflowing component, and a shift $-$ typically toward lower wavelengths $-$ of the whole spectroscopic feature in some exceptional sources, the so-called blue outliers, which are often associated to strong winds. We investigated the incidence of these peculiarities in two samples of radio-emitting NLS1s, one radio-loud and one radio-quiet. We also studied a few correlations between the observational properties of the [O III] lines and those of the AGN. Our aim was to understand the difference between radio-quiet and radio-loud NLS1s, which may in turn provide useful information on the jet formation mechanism. We find that the NLR gas is much more perturbed in radio-loud than in radio-quiet NLS1s. In particular the NLR dynamics in $γ$-ray emitting NLS1s appears to be highly disturbed, and this might be a consequence of interaction with the relativistic jet. The less frequently perturbed NLR in radio-quiet NLS1s suggests instead that these sources likely do not harbor a fully developed relativistic jet. Nonetheless blue-outliers in radio-quiet NLS1s are observed, and we interpret them as a product of strong winds.

description: Although the importance of a SNARE complex in neurotransmitter release is widely accepted, there exist different views on how the complex promotes fusion. One hypothesis is that the SNARE complex’s ability to bring membranes into contact is sufficient for fusion, another points to possible roles of juxtamembrane regions (JMRs) and transmembrane domains (TMDs) in catalyzing lipid rearrangement, and another notes the complex’s presumed ability to bend membranes near the point of contact. Here, we performed experiments with highly curved vesicles brought into contact using low concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to investigate the influence of the synaptobrevin (SB) TMD with an attached JMR (SB-JMR-TMD) on the rates of stalk and pore formation during vesicle fusion. SB-JMR-TMD enhanced the rates of stalk and fusion pore (FP) formation in a sharply sigmoidal fashion. We observed an optimal influence at an average of three peptides per vesicle, but only with phosphatidylserine (PS)-containing vesicles. Approximately three SB-JMR-TMDs per vesicle optimally ordered the bilayer interior and excluded water in a similar sigmoidal fashion. The catalytic influences of hexadecane and SB-JMR-TMD on fusion kinetics showed little in common, suggesting different mechanisms. Both kinetic and membrane structure measurements support the hypotheses that SB-JMR-TMD 1) catalyzes initial intermediate formation as a result of its basic JMR disrupting ordered interbilayer water and permitting closer interbilayer approach, and 2) catalyzes pore formation by forming a membrane-spanning complex that increases curvature stress at the circumference of the hemifused diaphragm of the prepore intermediate state.

description: RNA function depends crucially on the details of its dynamics. The simplest RNA dynamical unit is a two-way interhelical junction. Here, for such a unit—the transactivation response RNA element—we present evidence from molecular dynamics simulations, supported by nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation experiments, for a dynamical transition near 230 K. This glass transition arises from the freezing out of collective interhelical motional modes. The motions, resolved with site-specificity, are dynamically heterogeneous and exhibit non-Arrhenius relaxation. The microscopic origin of the glass transition is a low-dimensional, slow manifold consisting largely of the Euler angles describing interhelical reorientation. Principal component analysis over a range of temperatures covering the glass transition shows that the abrupt slowdown of motion finds its explanation in a localization transition that traps probability density into several disconnected conformational pools over the low-dimensional energy landscape. Upon temperature increase, the probability density pools then flood a larger basin, akin to a lakes-to-sea transition. Simulations on transactivation response RNA are also used to backcalculate inelastic neutron scattering data that match previous inelastic neutron scattering measurements on larger and more complex RNA structures and which, upon normalization, give temperature-dependent fluctuation profiles that overlap onto a glass transition curve that is quasi-universal over a range of systems and techniques.
