description: O Bilinguismo é no senso comum, definido como a capacidade de comunicar em duas línguas de forma proficiente. No entanto, os estudos interdisciplinares direcionados a esta capacidade e a todo o seu conhecimento evidenciam que são diversas as variáveis que tornam o conceito de bilinguismo flutuante. Neste artigo iremos explorar, ainda que brevemente, algumas destas variáveis interrelacionando o cérebro no bilinguismo.

description: Recently, the desire to investigate the dissipative (damping) effects of liquid fuel slosh on ‘winglike’ structures (beams) has become a topic of interest [4, 8]. The objective is to better understand these phenomena and ultimately improve on the design of aircraft by reducing manufacturing cost and weight while improving fatigue life. The aforementioned experiments colloquially referred to as Protospace, lead to the formation of the SLOWD (Sloshing Wing Dynamics) project (Grant agreement ID: 815044) which aims to further investigate and characterize liquid slosh induced damping both experimentally and numerically [2, 3]

description: In this paper we have discussed theoretical concepts and presented numerical results of local field enhancement at the core of different assemblages of metal/dielectric cylindrical nanoinclusions embedded in a linear dielectric host matrix. The obtained results show that for a composite with metal coated inclusions there exist two peak values of the enhancement factor at two different resonant frequencies. The existence of the second maxima becomes more important for a larger volume fraction of the metal part of the inclusion. For dielectric coated metal core inclusions and pure metal inclusions there is only one resonant frequency and one peak value of the enhancement factor. The enhancement of an electromagnetic wave is promising for the existence of nonlinear optical phenomena such as optical bistability which is important in optical communication and in optical computing such as optical switch and memory elements.

description: Birhythmicity arises in several physical, biological and chemical systems. Although, many control schemes are proposed for various forms of multistability, only a few exist for controlling birhythmicity. In this paper we investigate the control of birhythmic oscillation by introducing a self-feedback mechanism that incorporates the variable to be controlled and its canonical conjugate. Using a detailed analytical treatment, bifurcation analysis and experimental demonstrations we establish that the proposed technique is capable of eliminating birhythmicity and generates monorhythmic oscillation. Further, the detailed parameter space study reveals that, apart from monorhythmicity, the system shows transition between birhythmicity and other dynamical forms of bistability. This study may have practical applications in controlling birhythmic behavior of several systems, in particular in biochemical and mechanical processes.

description: Mente, cérebro e educação (também designado por neurociência educacional ou neuroeducação) trata-se de um novo campo científico que tem suscitado um interesse crescente por parte de profissionais de educação, psicólogos e neurocientistas. O estudo da aprendizagem une inevitavelmente a investigação neurocientífica às práticas educativas, mas de acordo com a literatura recente, ainda são inúmeros os problemas que impedem o sucesso desta nova abordagem transdisciplinar. As interpretações erróneas que se concebem a partir dos estudos das neurociências têm sido uma das principais barreiras. Prover caráter neurocientífico à pesquisa e prática educacional torna-se cada vez mais premente, pelo que é necessário colocar em diálogo a comunidade neurocientífica e a comunidade educativa de forma a implementar projetos colaborativos para se estabelecer um enquadramento teórico e metodológico capaz de testar as melhores práticas pedagógicas. Este artigo procura relançar a discussão sobre a fusão da educação e neurociências, propondo algumas ideias para que cientistas e professores possam substituir a metáfora da “ponte” por um caminho que sustente “mente, cérebro e educação” como um campo científico distinto.

description: Visualization and manipulation of nanoscale matter is one of the main and current challenges in nanosciences. To this aim, different techniques have been recently developed to non-invasively trap and manipulate nano-specimens, like nanoparticles or molecules. However, operating in air or vacuum still remains very challenging since most approaches are limited to a liquid environment. In this letter, we design and characterize a planar Paul trap optimized to trap and manipulate individual charged nanoparticles. This configuration offers competitive capabilities to manipulate nano-specimens in air or vacuum including in-plane integration, high trap confinement along with dynamical trap reconfiguration.

description: Sandwich structures are frequently used in transport and civil infrastructure applications where high bending stiffness to weight ratio and excellent strength performance are required. One possible damage mode for sandwich components is moisture ingression creating pockets with liquid water or humid cores in the case of paper based honeycomb materials. Both variants may cause the sandwich structure to deteriorate and lose its stiffness and load carrying capacity. Different methods of non-destructive testing have been tried to detect and quantify moisture ingress. However, the development of a robust and simple measurement technique with the required sensitivity has not yet been achieved. This paper describes a non-destructive testing method using through-thickness resonant modes to detect moisture ingress into honeycomb sandwich structures by detecting changes in through-thickness resonant frequencies as a function of humidity levels. Results from analytical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental measurements show that there exists a downward relationship between resonant frequency and volume of moisture ingress. The major conclusion of the work is that the through-thickness resonant technique has the potential to be developed into a robust and simple measurement technique to detect and quantify moisture levels in sandwich structures.

description: O presente artigo defende a aproximação de dois campos de estudo: as Ciências Cognitivas e os Estudos de Cultura. No estudo de cultura a dimensão cognitiva merece mais atenção e as Ciências Cognitivas devem considerar mais a dimensão cultural da cognição. As tentativas feitas, p. ex. na chamada neurociência cultural aplicam conceitos de cultura que não estão à altura da complexidade evidenciada nos Estudos de Cultura. Mas estes estudos demostram como a plasticidade cerebral está ao serviço da adaptação cultural. Será que os seres humanos nascem com um “sistema cognitivo de cultura” (L. Talmy)? Quais seriam as estruturas básicas deste sistema, quais os seus limites? Só uma abordagem interdisciplinar que reconhece as condições e a plasticidade cerebrais, por um lado, e a complexidade da(s) cultura(s) e das suas manifestações, por outro lado, vai poder descrever o papel da cultura na cognição.

description: Utilizing the all-sky imaging capabilities of the LWA1 radio telescope along with a host of all-sky optical cameras, we have now observed 44 optical meteor counterparts to radio afterglows. Combining these observations we have determined the geographic positions of all 44 afterglows. Comparing the number of radio detections as a function of altitude above sea level to the number of expected bright meteors we find a strong altitudinal dependence characterized by a cutoff below $\sim$ 90 km, below which no radio emission occurs, despite the fact that many of the observed optical meteors penetrated well below this altitude. This cutoff suggests that wave damping from electron collisions is an important factor for the evolution of radio afterglows, which agrees with the hypothesis that the emission is the result of electron plasma wave emission.

description: In the cloud environment, data centers are efficiently manipulated by cloud service providers (CSPs) in terms of energy consumption. Consequently, migrating workloads to clouds can result in lower energy consumption. This paper demonstrates that the Lift-and-Shift migration with optimal selections of cloud instances can provide significant energy savings, and explains how much and where the energy savings are obtained from. Additionally, the analysis on the variation of energy consumption is given when Auto-Scaling is deployed showing that further energy savings are expected even without refactoring applications. All the conclusions and analyses are based on the real data collected by Cloudamize Inc. from May 2016 to August 2016 over 40,000 machines across approximately 300 data centers.

description: Estimated time of arrival (ETA) prediction, also known as travel time estimation, is a fundamental task for a wide range of intelligent transportation applications, such as navigation, route planning, and ride-hailing services. To accurately predict the travel time of a route, it is essential to take into account both contextual and predictive factors, such as spatial-temporal interaction, driving behavior, and traffic congestion propagation inference. The ETA prediction models previously deployed at Baidu Maps have addressed the factors of spatial-temporal interaction (ConSTGAT) and driving behavior (SSML). In this work, we focus on modeling traffic congestion propagation patterns to improve ETA performance. Traffic congestion propagation pattern modeling is challenging, and it requires accounting for impact regions over time and cumulative effect of delay variations over time caused by traffic events on the road network. In this paper, we present a practical industrial-grade ETA prediction framework named DuETA. Specifically, we construct a congestion-sensitive graph based on the correlations of traffic patterns, and we develop a route-aware graph transformer to directly learn the long-distance correlations of the road segments. This design enables DuETA to capture the interactions between the road segment pairs that are spatially distant but highly correlated with traffic conditions. Extensive experiments are conducted on large-scale, real-world datasets collected from Baidu Maps. Experimental results show that ETA prediction can significantly benefit from the learned traffic congestion propagation patterns. In addition, DuETA has already been deployed in production at Baidu Maps, serving billions of requests every day. This demonstrates that DuETA is an industrial-grade and robust solution for large-scale ETA prediction services.

description: The radiative thermal neutron capture cross sections over the range of thermal energies from 1 keV to 1 MeV are studied in statistical Hauser-Feshbach formalism. The optical model potential is constructed by folding the density dependent M3Y nucleon-nucleon interaction with radial matter densities of target nuclei obtained from relativistic-mean-field (RMF) theory. The standard nuclear reaction code TALYS1.8 is used for calculation of cross sections. The nuclei studied in the present work reside near the $Z=28$ proton shell closure and are of astrophysical interests taking part in p-, s-, and r-process of nucleosynthesis. The Maxwellian-averaged cross-section (MACS) values for energies important for astrophysical applications are presented.

description: Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are locally excited at silver surfaces using (~100) nm-sized nanodiamonds (NDs) with multiple nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers (~400). The fluorescence from an externally illuminated (at 532 nm) ND and from nearby NDs, which are not illuminated but produce out-of-plane scattering of SPPs excited by the illuminated ND, exhibit distinctly different wavelength spectra, showing short-wavelength filtering due to the SPP propagation loss. The results indicate that NDs with multiple NV centers can be used as efficient sub-wavelength SPP sources in planar integrated plasmonics for various applications.

description: Let $F$ be a finite group. We consider the lamplighter group $L=F\wr\mathbb{Z}$ over $F$. We prove that $L$ has a classifying space for proper actions $\underline{E} L$ which is a complex of dimension two. We use this to give an explicit proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture (without coefficients), that states that the assembly map $μ_i^L:K_i^L(\underline{E} L)\rightarrow K_i(C^*L)\;(i=0,1)$ is an isomorphism. Actually, $K_0(C^*L)$ is free abelian of countable rank, with an explicit basis consisting of projections in $C^*L$, while $K_1(C^*L)$ is infinite cyclic, generated by the unitary of $C^*L$ implementing the shift. Finally we show that, for $F$ abelian, the $C^*$-algebra $C^*L$ is completely characterized by $|F|$ up to isomorphism.

description: A novel class of boundary conditions is introduced as a generalization of the previously defined class of soft-and-hard/DB (SHDB) boundary conditions. It is shown that the conditions for the generalized soft-and-hard/DB (GSHDB) boundary arise most naturally in a simple and straightforward manner by applying four-dimensional differential-form and dyadic formalism. At a given boundary surface, the GSHDB conditions are governed by two one-forms. In terms of Gibbsian 3D vector and dyadic algebra the GSHDB conditions are defined in terms of two vectors tangential to the boundary surface and two scalars. Considering plane-wave reflection from the GSHDB boundary, for two eigenpolarizations, the GSHDB boundary can be replaced by the PEC or PMC boundary. Special attention is paid to the problem of plane waves matched to the GSHDB boundary, defined by a 2D dispersion equation for the wave vector, making the reflection dyadic indeterminate. Examples of dispersion curves for various chosen parameters of the GSHDB boundary are given. Conditions for a possible medium whose interface acts as a GSHDB boundary are discussed.

description: Manipulating the self-assembly nanostructures with combined different control measures is emerging as a promising route for numerous applications to generate templates and scaffolds for nanostructured materials. Here, the two different control measures are a cylindrical confinement and an oscillatory shear flow. We study the phase behavior of diblock copolymer confined in nanopore under oscillatory shear by considering different $D/L_0$ ($D$ is the diameter of the cylindrical nanopore, $L_0$ is the domain spacing) and different shears via Cell Dynamics Simulation. Under different $D/L_0$, in the system occurs different morphology evolution and phase transition with the changing of amplitude and frequency. Meanwhile, it forms a series of novel morphologies. For each $D/L_0$, we construct a phase diagram of different forms and analyze the reason why the phase transition occurs. We find that although the morphologies are different under different $D/L_0$, the reason of the phase transition with the changing of amplitude and frequency is roughly the same, all caused by the interplay of the field effect and confinement effect. These results can guide an experimentalist to an easy method of creating the ordered, defect-free nanostructured materials using a combination of the cylindrical confinement and oscillatory shear flow.

description: Controlling fish feeding machine is challenging problem because experienced fishermen can adequately control based on assumption. To build robust method for reasonable application, we propose automatic controlling fish feeding machine based on computer vision using combination of counting nutriments and estimating ripple behavior using regression and textural feature, respectively. To count number of nutriments, we apply object detection and tracking methods to acknowledge the nutriments moving to sea surface. Recently, object tracking is active research and challenging problem in computer vision. Unfortunately, the robust tracking method for multiple small objects with dense and complex relationships is unsolved problem in aquaculture field with more appearance creatures. Based on the number of nutriments and ripple behavior, we can control fish feeding machine which consistently performs well in real environment. Proposed method presents the agreement for automatic controlling fish feeding by the activation graphs and textural feature of ripple behavior. Our tracking method can precisely track the nutriments in next frame comparing with other methods. Based on computational time, proposed method reaches 3.86 fps while other methods spend lower than 1.93 fps. Quantitative evaluation can promise that proposed method is valuable for aquaculture fish farm with widely applied to real environment.

description: We present a new framework were we simultaneously fit strong lensing (SL) and dynamical data. The SL analysis is based on LENSTOOL, and the dynamical analysis uses MAMPOSSt code, which we have integrated into LENSTOOL. After describing the implementation of this new tool, we apply it on the galaxy group SL2S\,J02140-0535 ($z_{\rm spec}=0.44$), which we have already studied in the past. We use new VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy of multiple images and group members, as well as shallow X-ray data from \xmm. We confirm that the observed lensing features in SL2S\,J02140-0535 belong to different background sources. One of this sources is located at $z_{\rm spec}$ = 1.017 $\pm$ 0.001, whereas the other source is located at $z_{\rm spec}$ = 1.628 $\pm$ 0.001. With the analysis of our new and our previously reported spectroscopic data, we find 24 secure members for SL2S\,J02140-0535. Both data sets are well reproduced by a single NFW mass profile: the dark matter halo coincides with the peak of the light distribution, with scale radius, concentration, and mass equal to $r_s$ =$82^{+44}_{-17}$ kpc , $c_{200}$ = $10.0^{+1.7}_{-2.5}$, and $M_{200}$ = $1.0^{+0.5}_{-0.2}$ $\times$ 10$^{14}$M$_{\odot}$ respectively. These parameters are better constrained when we fit simultaneously SL and dynamical information. The mass contours of our best model agrees with the direction defined by the luminosity contours and the X-ray emission of SL2S\,J02140-0535. The simultaneous fit lowers the error in the mass estimate by 0.34 dex, when compared to the SL model, and in 0.15 dex when compared to the dynamical method.The combination of SL and dynamics tools yields a more accurate probe of the mass profile of SL2S\,J02140-0535 up to $r_{200}$. However, there is tension between the best elliptical SL model and the best spherical dynamical model.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis identifies, for the first time, the demographic profile of Australia’s emergency managers. It proposes reasons for the professionalisation of Australia’s emergency managers, to better prepare them to provide life-saving services for the Australian community. It asks whether Australia’s emergency managers’ skills, qualifications and experience enable them to be considered as professionals. It considers the characteristics of various recognised professional organisations. It makes recommendations suggesting what steps could be taken in the short- and long-term to facilitate the establishment of an Australian emergency management profession.

description: The first-order phase transitions in the lattice model of Janus-like particles confined in slit-like pores are studied. We assume a cubic lattice with molecules that can freely change their orientation on a lattice site. Moreover, the molecules can interact with the pore walls with orientation-dependent forces. The performed calculations are limited to the cases of bilayers. Our emphasis is on the competition between the fluid-wall and fluid-fluid interactions. The oriented structures formed in the systems in which the fluid-wall interactions acting contrary to the fluid-fluid interactions differ from those appearing in the systems with neutral walls or with walls attracting the repulsive parts of fluid molecules.

description: We use neutron powder diffraction to investigate the magnetic and crystalline structure of Cr$_2$GaN. A magnetic phase transition is identified at $T \approx 170$ K, whereas no trace of structural transition is observed down to 6 K. Combining Rietveld refinement with irreducible representations, the spin configuration of Cr ions in Cr$_2$GaN is depicted as an incommensurate sinusoidal modulated structure characterized by a propagating vector ${k}$=(0.365, 0.365, 0). Upon warming up to the paramagnetic state, the magnetic order parameter closely resembles to the temperature dependence of $c$-axis lattice parameter, suggesting strong magneto-elastic coupling in this compound. Therefore, Cr$_2$GaN provides a potential platform for the exploration of magnetically tuned properties such as magnetoelectric, magnetostrictive and magnetocaloric effects, as well as their applications.

description: We study a proof-of-principle example of the recently proposed hybrid quantum-classical simulation of strongly correlated fermion models in the thermodynamic limit. In a "two-site" dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) approach we reduce the Hubbard model to an effective impurity model subject to self-consistency conditions. The resulting minimal two-site representation of the non-linear hybrid setup involves four qubits implementing the impurity problem, plus an ancilla qubit on which all measurements are performed. We outline a possible implementation with superconducting circuits feasible with near-future technology.

Nonequilibrium Dynamical Cluster Approximation study of the Falicov-Kimball Model

description: We use a nonequilibrium implementation of the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) to study the effect of short-range correlations on the dynamics of the two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model after an interaction quench. As in the case of single-site dynamical mean field theory, thermalization is absent in DCA simulations, and for quenches across the metal-insulator boundary, nearest-neighbor charge correlations in the nonthermal steady state are found to be larger than in the thermal state with identical energy. We investigate to what extent it is possible to define an effective temperature of the trapped state after a quench. Based on the ratio between the lesser and retarded Green's function we conclude that a roughly thermal distribution is reached within the energy intervals corresponding to the momentum-patch dependent subbands of the spectral function. The effectively different chemical potentials of these distributions however lead to a very hot, or even negative, effective temperature in the energy intervals between these subbands.
title: CC-chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 in inflammation
Creators: name: Halawa, Heba Adnan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The CC-chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 (iCCRs) play a critical role in orchestrating the recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed areas. However, excessive leukocyte accumulation during inflammation can cause tissue damage and various inflammatory disorders, making iCCRs a promising target for therapeutic interventions. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, no iCCR antagonists have been approved for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to the apparent complexity of the chemokine system, where individual leukocytes can express multiple chemokine receptors simultaneously and the promiscuity of receptor-ligand interactions. In addition, the need for proper mouse models has hindered our understanding of how iCCRs coordinate the inflammatory response and the development of effective treatments. The expression of iCCRs in response to specific inflammatory conditions was investigated using BMDMs in vitro. The results indicate that CCR1 and CCR5 are primarily regulated in response to various cytokines and TLR ligands, with CCR1 potentially being further enhanced in response to bacterial infections and CCR5 upregulated in response to viral infections. However, CCR2 and CCR3 did not fluctuate in response to the stimulating agents and remained stable. Then, using iCCR-reporter mice (iREPs), the temporal changes of iCCR expression in monocytes and differentiated macrophages during sustained inflammation in vivo were assessed. The results show that inflammatory monocytes mainly express reporter CCR2, but a small fraction also co-expresses reporter CCR1 and CCR2, regardless of inflammatory state. We also identified a small subset of inflammatory monocytes that only express reporter CCR1 under sustained inflammation. The transcriptomic analysis of these monocyte subsets shows that they have distinct transcriptional profiles, indicating that multiple iCCR expression does not represent redundant expression. The findings presented in this thesis have added to our understanding of the role of iCCRs in inflammation by providing information on the regulation of iCCR expression in macrophages and the temporal regulation of iCCRs in monocytes and macrophages during inflammation, and the differential transcriptomes of cells expressing iCCRs. Additional insights into how CCchemokines orchestrate inflammatory responses can be gained from future studies using the iREP mouse model. These insights will not only improve our understanding of basic chemokine biology but also have the potential to guide the development of pharmacological interventions targeting the chemokine system.

description: The proton-proton momentum correlation functions ($C_{pp}(q)$) for kinematically complete decay channels of $^{23}$Al $\rightarrow$ p + p + $^{21}$Na and $^{22}$Mg $\rightarrow$ p + p + $^{20}$Ne have been measured at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory. From the very different correlation strength of $C_{pp}(q)$ for $^{23}$Al and $^{22}$Mg, the source size and emission time information were extracted from the $C_{pp}(q)$ data by assuming a Gaussian source profile in the correlation function calculation code (CRAB). The results indicated that the mechanism of two-proton emission from $^{23}$Al was mainly sequential emission, while that of $^{22}$Mg was mainly three-body simultaneous emission. By combining our earlier results of the two-proton relative momentum and the opening angle, it is pointed out that the mechanism of two-proton emission could be distinguished clearly.
