description: Women from non-European backgrounds, such as Asian women, are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as compared to those from European background. Healthy lifestyle behaviours, including optimised diet and increased physical activity, can prevent T2DM by about 50% in high-risk people. However, little is known about how to implement effective interventions during and after pregnancy for women from diverse ethnic backgrounds to prevent GDM and T2DM. This thesis generates new evidence to inform the development of effective lifestyle interventions for diabetes prevention among pregnant and postpartum women from different ethnic backgrounds.

description: We study the mutual percolation of a system composed of two interdependent random regular networks. We introduce a notion of distance to explore the effects of the proximity of interdependent nodes on the cascade of failures after an initial attack. We find a non-trivial relation between the nature of the transition through which the networks disintegrate and the parameters of the system, which are the degree of the nodes and the maximum distance between interdependent nodes. We explain this relation by solving the problem analytically for the relevant set of cases.

description: During protein synthesis, elongation of the polypeptide chain by each amino acid is followed by a translocation step in which mRNA and transfer RNA (tRNA) are advanced by one codon. This crucial step is catalyzed by elongation factor G (EF-G), a guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase), and accompanied by a rotation between the two ribosomal subunits. A mutant of EF-G, H91A, renders the factor impaired in guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis and thereby stabilizes it on the ribosome. We use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at near-atomic resolution to investigate two complexes formed by EF-G H91A in its GTP state with the ribosome, distinguished by the presence or absence of the intersubunit rotation. Comparison of these two structures argues in favor of a direct role of the conserved histidine in the switch II loop of EF-G in GTPase activation, and explains why GTP hydrolysis cannot proceed with EF-G bound to the unrotated form of the ribosome.

Beyond mean-field behavior of large Bose-Einstein condensates in double-well potentials

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: For the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), differences between mean-field (Gross-Pitaevskii) physics and $N$-particle quantum physics often disappear if the BEC becomes larger and larger. In particular, the timescale for which both dynamics agree should thus become larger if the particle number increases. For BECs in a double-well potential, we find both examples for which this is the case and examples for which differences remain even for huge BECs on experimentally realistic short timescales. By using a combination of numerical and analytical methods, we show that the differences remain visible on the level of expectation values even beyond the largest possible numbers realized experimentally for BECs with ultracold atoms.

description: Several researches in leaf identification did not include color information as features. The main reason is caused by a fact that they used green colored leaves as samples. However, for foliage plants, plants with colorful leaves, fancy patterns in their leaves, and interesting plants with unique shape, color and also texture could not be neglected. For example, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum' and Epipremnum pinnatum 'Marble Queen' have similar patterns, same shape, but different colors. Combination of shape, color, texture features, and other attribute contained on the leaf is very useful in leaf identification. In this research, Polar Fourier Transform and three kinds of geometric features were used to represent shape features, color moments that consist of mean, standard deviation, skewness were used to represent color features, texture features are extracted from GLCMs, and vein features were added to improve performance of the identification system. The identification system uses Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) as a classifier. The result shows that the system gives average accuracy of 93.0833% for 60 kinds of foliage plants.

description: A specimen designed to convert compressive stress into tensile stress during the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test is employed for the inverse calibration of a constitutive model for steel with a flow stress exceeding approximately 1,600 MPa. This calibration is accomplished by tracking the bar signals through repeated simulations. The maximum strain rate, strain, and temperature were approximately 6,500 s−1, 0.53, and 550 K, respectively. These values significantly surpassed those obtained from a standard SHPB test, as predicted by an Excel template referenced elsewhere. The advantages of the proposed calibration method are discussed in comparison to the conventional approach.
Wave propagation and strain localization in a fully saturated softening porous medium under the non-isothermal conditions

description: The (THM) coupling effects on the dynamic wave propagation and strain localization in a fully saturated softening porous medium are analyzed. The characteristic polynomial corresponding to the governing equations of the THM system is derived, and the stability analysis is conducted to determine the necessary conditions for stability in both non-isothermal and adiabatic cases. The result from the dispersion analysis based on the Abel–Ruffini theorem reveals that the roots of the characteristic polynomial for the THM problem cannot be expressed algebraically. Meanwhile, the dispersion analysis on the adiabatic case leads to a new analytical expression of the internal length scale. Our limit analysis on the phase velocity for the non-isothermal case indicates that the internal length scale for the non-isothermal THM system may vanish at the short wavelength limit. This result leads to the conclusion that the rate-dependence introduced by multiphysical coupling may not regularize the THM governing equations when softening occurs. Numerical experiments are used to verify the results from the stability and dispersion analyses.
A family of steady two-phase generalized Forchheimer flows and their linear stability analysis

description: We model multi-dimensional two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in porous media using generalized Forchheimer equations and the capillary pressure. Firstly, we find a family of steady state solutions whose saturation and pressure are radially symmetric and velocities are rotation-invariant. Their properties are investigated based on relations between the capillary pressure, each phase's relative permeability and Forchheimer polynomial. Secondly, we analyze the linear stability of those steady states. The linearized system is derived and reduced to a parabolic equation for the saturation. This equation has a special structure depending on the steady states which we exploit to prove two new forms of the lemma of growth of Landis-type in both bounded and unbounded domains. Using these lemmas, qualitative properties of the solution of the linearized equation are studied in details. In bounded domains, we show that the solution decays exponentially in time. In unbounded domains, in addition to their stability, the solution decays to zero as the spatial variables tend to infinity. The Bernstein

description: The primary objectives of this thesis are (1) determine if the proper indicator organism is being utilized to determine the bacterial water quality in the State of Virginia. (2) If other environmental factors can predict the bacterial water quality. The current indicator organism of choice for bacterial water quality of waters in the State of Virginia is enterococci, for estuarine and brackish waters. E. coli is the indicator organism of choice for fresh waters in Virginia.

The study concluded (1) Enterococci are the best indicator organism for beaches located in the Hampton Roads Harbor and the Lower James River. (2) E. coli may be a better indicator organism during higher precipitation recreational seasons for Yorktown Beach. (3) Enterococci may be a better indicator organism for dryer recreational water seasons. (4) E. coli counts were most likely affected by wind direction and precipitation. (5) Enterococci are present in significant amounts when sunbathers are present and for the sizes of waves at Yorktown Beach.

description: This study examines gender-based disparities in spouse selection among parents in India. Our focus on studying this gender gap in low- and middle-income countries is important as arranged marriages are prevalent in many such societies, and the education and wealth of a groom can significantly impact his spouse and future generations’ long-term economic well-being. Our findings reveal that parents frequently arrange marriages for their daughters with more educated and wealthier grooms, while sons are often matched with brides of lower education. Notably, a novel finding of our study is that daughters, despite generally lower education levels, achieve higher combined educational attainment with their husbands than sons with their wives, especially in areas with lower literacy, income, and employment rates. Overall, our analysis brings to light an important facet of discriminatory societal norms that place a higher value on men’s financial success and women’s social status.

description: Wireless mesh networks have seen a real progress due of their implementation at a low cost. They present one of Next Generation Networks technologies and can serve as home, companies and universities networks. In this paper, we propose and discuss a new multi-objective model for nodes deployment optimization in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks. We exploit the trade-off between network cost and the overall network performance. This optimization problem is solved simultaneously by using a meta-heuristic method that returns a non-dominated set of near optimal solutions. A comparative study was driven to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model.

description: Individual mammalian neurons express distinct repertoires of protocadherin (Pcdh) -α, -β and -γ proteins that function in neural circuit assembly. Here we show that all three types of Pcdhs can engage in specific homophilic interactions, that cell surface delivery of alternate Pcdhα isoforms requires cis interactions with other Pcdh isoforms, and that the extracellular cadherin domain EC6 plays a critical role in this process. Analysis of specific combinations of up to five Pcdh isoforms showed that Pcdh homophilic recognition specificities strictly depend on the identity of all of the expressed isoforms, such that mismatched isoforms interfere with cell-cell interactions. We present a theoretical analysis showing that the assembly of Pcdh-α, −β and −γ isoforms into multimeric recognition units, and the observed tolerance for mismatched isoforms can generate the cell surface diversity necessary for single-cell identity. However, competing demands of non-self discrimination and self-recognition place limitations on the mechanisms by which recognition units can function.

description: Students’ beliefs that success in science depends on exceptional talent negatively impact their motivation to learn. For example, such beliefs have been shown to be a major factor steering students away from taking science and math courses in high school and college. In the present study, we tested a novel story-based instruction that models how scientists achieve through failures and struggles. We designed this instruction to challenge this belief, thereby improving science learning in classroom settings. A demographically diverse group of 402 9th and 10th grade students read 1 of 3 types of stories about eminent scientists that described how the scientists (a) struggled intellectually (e.g., made mistakes in investigating scientific problems, and overcame the mistakes through effort), (b) struggled in their personal life (e.g., suffered family poverty and lack of parental support but overcame it), or (c) made great discoveries (a control condition, similar to the instructional material that appears in many science textbooks, that did not describe any struggles). Results showed that participation in either of the struggle story conditions improved science learning postintervention, relative to that of students in the control condition. Additionally, the effect of our intervention was more pronounced for low-performing students. Moreover, far more students in either of the struggle story conditions felt connected to the stories and scientists than did students in the control condition. The use of struggle stories provides a promising and implementable instructional approach that can improve student motivation and academic performance in science and perhaps other subjects as well.

description: Does increased exposure to forced migration affect violent crime rates in developing host countries? To answer this question, we exploit the unprecedented inflow of Venezuelans to Brazil. Contrary to fears propagated by the anti-immigration rhetoric, our two-stage least squares estimates reveal that the sudden influx of refugees did not affect violent crime in which natives were victimized. In fact, our results suggest that forced migration only increased violent crime involving Venezuelan victims. Victimization of migrants seems to have increased at a slower pace than their presence in the host country. Yet, it was concentrated among young males between the ages of 15 and 39 living in the border region of Brazil with Venezuela. Evaluating the causal impacts of forced migration in a developing context is crucial to providing governments and international agencies with rigorous evidence to support policy decisions. In the absence of the latter, public perception can play a key role as host populations may pressure authorities for anti-immigration policies based solely on perceptions. Moreover, violence hinders migration’s documented long-term benefits by imposing high economic and social costs.

description: This paper examines the effect of increased import competition and export demand on local labour markets in the context of India’s trading relationship with China. Using an instrumental variables approach, I find that Indian districts exposed to Chinese imports experience decreased manufacturing employment growth relative to their positive pre-existing trend with no offsetting adjustment in services employment or population. The negative employment effect of imports is greater for large establishments. On average, manufacturing employment does not grow in response to export demand shocks, but districts with sufficient development, density, or access to Chinese markets see increased manufacturing employment in response to Chinese export demand.

description: We introduce a self-propelled colloidal hematite docker that can be steered to a small particle cargo many times its size, dock, transport the cargo to a remote location, and then release it. The self-propulsion and docking are reversible and activated by visible light. The docker can be steered either by a weak uniform magnetic field or by nanoscale tracks in a textured substrate. The light-activated motion and docking originate from osmotic/phoretic particle transport in a concentration gradient of fuel, hydrogen peroxide, induced by the photocatalytic activity of the hematite. The docking mechanism is versatile and can be applied to various materials and shapes. The hematite dockers are simple single-component particles and are synthesized in bulk quantities. This system opens up new possibilities for designing complex micrometer-size factories as well as new biomimetic systems.

Does Longer Tenure Mean Greater Ability? Deep-Rooted Politics and Migration in Rural China

description: This study examines the political motivations behind changes in labor migration rates in Chinese villages. Using data from the China village survey, we estimate the impact of the tenure gap between the village committee director and party branch secretary on village labor migration rates. We find that within the dual power structure of villages, a longer political tenure for the secretary relative to the director significantly suppresses village labor migration rates, while a shorter tenure significantly promotes them. IV estimation supports the causal interpretation found by OLS estimation. This mechanism of causality is associated with vested interests stemming from ambiguous ownership, having a director or secretary with a longer political tenure tends to bias these interests towards villagers or township authorities. Other accompanying effects of the tenure gap should not be ignored, including the amplification effect of the non-laboring population, the feedback effect of labor, and the shrinkage effect of outsiders. This causal relationship is heterogeneous, the dual role analysis shows that the structure and stance of village leaders will affect the strength of the causal relationship, and the regional heterogeneity analysis shows that economic factors that drive village labor migration may be more important than political factors.

description: We give the maximal distance between a copula and itself when the argument is permuted for arbitrary dimension, generalizing a result for dimension two by Nelsen (2007), Klement and Mesiar (2006). Furthermore, we establish a subset of $[0,1]^d$ in which this bound might be attained. For each point in this subset we present a copula and a permutation, for which the distance in this point is maximal. In the process, we see that this subset depends on the dimension being even or odd.

description: The thesis of this book is that chivalry in the 15th Century was not a fading code of conduct, or a universal ethic; chivalry was, above all, a political debate with legal foundations and social consequences. In order to understand chivalry, one cannot study the general trends or common ideas shared by different codifications; if one wants to understand what chivalry was for 15th century politicians, intellectuals, writers, and knights, one needs to delve into the myriad treatises in manuscript form that populated intellectual networks, libraries, and exchanges across Europe in many languages. Once in the business of establishing the catalogue of these manuscripts (which the book does in the final pages), one also needs to see the points of divergence among the different ideas on knighthood and politics. The result won't be a lineal history, but an essay in the creation and history of certain political concepts.

description: A spread option is an option written on the difference of two underling assets, whose values at time t we denote by S1(t) and S2(t). We consider only options of the European type for which the buyer has the right to be paid, at the maturity date T, the difference S2(T)−S1(T), known as the spread. To exercise the option, the buyer must pay at maturity a prespecified price K, known as the strike, or the exercise price of the option.

description: This paper proposes and tests the hypotheses that (i) a legacy of irrigation agriculture is associated with a greater prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV); and (ii) the presence of loamy soils strengthens this association. The proposed mechanisms are that irrigation agriculture has resulted in a tendency for women to be socially isolated and a cultural acceptance of IPV. We use individual survey data from India and an exogenous measure of historical irrigation. We find empirical support for our hypotheses and proposed mechanisms.

description: The nuclear symmetry energy represents a response to the neutron-proton asymmetry. In this survey we discuss various aspects of symmetry energy in the framework of nuclear density functional theory, considering both non-relativistic and relativistic self-consistent mean-field realizations side-by-side. Key observables pertaining to bulk nucleonic matter and finite nuclei are reviewed. Constraints on the symmetry energy and correlations between observables and symmetry-energy parameters, using statistical covariance analysis, are investigated. Perspectives for future work are outlined in the context of ongoing experimental efforts.

description: Measurements of cosmic-ray abundances on balloons are affected by interactions in the residual atmosphere above the balloon. Corrections for such interactions are particularly important for observations of rare secondary particles such as boron, antiprotons and positrons. These corrections can either be calculated if the relevant cross sections in the atmosphere are known, or may be empirically determined by extrapolation of the "growth curves", i. e. the individual particle intensities as functions of atmospheric depth. The growth-curve technique is particularly attractive for long-duration balloon flights where the periodic daily altitude variations permit rather precise determinations of the corresponding particle intensity variations. We determine growth curves for nuclei from boron (Z=5) to iron (Z=26), using data from the 2006 Arctic balloon flight of the TRACER detector for cosmic-ray nuclei, and we compare the growth curves with predictions from published cross section values. In general, good agreement is observed. We then study the boron/carbon abundance ratio and derive a simple and energy-independent correction term for this ratio. We emphasize that the growth-curve technique can be developed further to provide highly accurate tests of published interaction cross section values.
