Predictive modeling of isolated systolic hypertension from changes in arterial compliance and peripheral resistance
Creators: name: Guo, Yunping
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Hypertension has been recognized as the principal risk factor to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The condition exists in more than 75 million in the US alone, and is known as the silent killer. Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) with systolic pressure of 160 mmHg and diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg, is particularly common is the elderly. But its underlying mechanism remains largely unresolved. This thesis investigates the hemodynamic contributing factors to the production of ISH through computational modeling.Since ISH in the elderly has been found clinically to be due to vascular factors, i.e. reduced artery compliance (C) and increased peripheral resistance (Rs), we utilized the three-element Windkessel model of the arterial system to evaluate its parameter changes in the production of ISH. Experimental aortic pressure (P) and flow (Q) data previously obtained from our lab and from published database were obtained for the normal, vasoconstrictor induced hypertension and vasodilator induced hypotension conditions. With Q as input to the model, predicted pressure waveform compared well with measured pressure. A variety of combinations of C and Rs are then used to predict the ISH (160/90 mmHg). Significantly larger percentage reduction in C and mild increase in Rs have been found to produce ISH. Comparison of multiple data sets showed that subjects with lower initial blood pressure needed much greater changes in C and Rs to become systolic hypertensive. The opposite was found for those with higher initial pressures. Findings of the present study agree well with those observed clinically. This model study has the distinct advantage, in that it identifies quantitative alteration in vascular parameter changes (C and Rs) and how they contribute to progressive blood pressure increases. The study can be extended to monitor individual hypertensive patients, as well as evaluated different anti-hypertensive drugs and their effectiveness.

description: We have measured a paramagnetic Meissner effect in Nb-Al2O3-Nb Josephson junction arrays using a scanning SQUID microscope. The arrays exhibit diamagnetism for some cooling fields and paramagnetism for other cooling fields. The measured mean magnetization is always less than 0.3 flux quantum (in terms of flux per unit cell of the array) for the range of cooling fields investigated. We demonstrate that a new model of magnetic screening, valid for multiply-connected superconductors, reproduces all of the essential features of paramagnetism that we observe and that no exotic mechanism, such as d-wave superconductivity, is needed for paramagnetism.

description: Grating-based X-ray phase-contrast interferometry has a high application impact in material science and medicine for imaging of weakly absorbing (low Z) materials and soft tissues. For the absorbing gratings, casting of highly x-ray absorbing metals, such as Au and Pb alloys, has proven to be a viable way to generate large area periodic high aspect ratio microstructures. In this paper, we review the grating fabrication strategy with a special focus on a novel approach of casting low temperature melting alloys (Au-Sn and Pbbased alloy) into Si grating templates using hot embossing. The process, similar to nanoimprint lithography, requires particular adjusting efforts of process parameters as a function of the metal alloy and the grating feature size. The transition between solid and liquid state depends on the alloy phase diagram, the applied pressure can damage the high aspect ratio Si lamellas and the microstructure of the solid metal can affect the grating structure. We demonstrate that metal casting by hot embossing can be used to fabricate gratings on large area (up to 70x70 mm2) with aspect ratio up to 50:1 and pitch in the range of 1-20 μm.
Complaint initiation of graduate student employees

description: The purpose of this study is to understand what prompts vulnerable workers to initiate complaint behavior, ranging from filing their grievances to talking with their supervisors, and what barriers prevent workers from exposing complaints. It is common for many employees to face various problems at work. Despite the frequency of such problem experiences, however, few employees file formal complaints. Furthermore, informal complaints are also often limited. In many cases, they keep silent. There are many barriers to filing a grievance or initiating voice. These barriers are especially repressive for vulnerable workers.Given that the number of ‘good’ jobs has decreased and many jobs have certain types of precarity, it is essential to examine how such ‘precariat’ faces a dilemma in making their complaints. This study examines a specific type of precariat - graduate student employees (GSEs) at universities. GSEs play a dual role as both students and workers. Because they are pursuing full-time faculty jobs and their status is a temporary one, they may be forced to endure their working condition. However, their future is neither promising nor guaranteed, while their working condition becomes worse than before (Lafer, 2003; Atkins et al., 2018; Kroeger et al., 2018). Furthermore, their actions are likely also influenced by social relationships or culture within the school/department. Although GSEs have several work-related problems, it is difficult for them to engage in voice. This study examines the barriers and determinants of GSEs’ complaint initiation, examining, in particular, aspects of their vulnerability.
Phase Transition in a Model with Non-Compact Symmetry on Bethe Lattice and the Replica Limit

description: We solve $O(n,1)$ nonlinear vector model on Bethe lattice and show that it exhibits a transition from ordered to disordered state for $0 \leq n < 1$. If the replica limit $n\to 0$ is taken carefully, the model is shown to reduce to the corresponding supersymmetric model. The latter was introduced by Zirnbauer as a toy model for the Anderson localization transition. We argue thus that the non-compact replica models describe correctly the Anderson transition features. This should be contrasted to their failure in the case of the level correlation problem.

description: The zero modes and current carrying capability of a cosmic string formed at one phase transition can be modified at subsequent phase transitions. A new, generalised index theorem is derived that is applicable to theories with multiple phase transitions. This enables us to investigate the fate of string zero modes during sequences of phase transitions in a variety of models. Depending on the couplings that the breaking introduces, the zero modes may be destroyed and the superconductivity of the string removed, and thus vortons dissipate. We discuss the features of the theory that are required to produce this behaviour and consider the implications of spectral flow.

Remarks
The specimens from the Jerada Basin assigned to Goniatites crenistria by Korn & Ebbighausen (2008) do not belong to this species, based on the knowledge of the ontogeny of specimens from Sidi Amar. Therefore, a confirmed record of G. crenistria from North Africa does not exist. For comparison with the new species Goniatites amarensis sp. nov., an emended diagnosis of G. crenistria is presented here.

description: The effects of ultra-short laser pulses on reactive Ti/Al nano-layered thin film were investigated. The thin film composed of alternated titanium and aluminium nano-layers, was deposited by ion-sputtering. Single pulse irradiation was conducted in the air with focused and linearly polarized femtosecond laser beam - of 1026 nm wavelength and pulse duration of 170 fs. Laser induced composition and morphological changes, using different microscopy techniques and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, were investigated. Following results were obtained: (i) one step partial/selective ablation of upper Ti layer from nano-layer Ti/Al at low laser fluence and (ii) two step ablation or entire ablation of nano-layer Ti/Al at higher laser fluence. Single pulse selective ablation of the upper Ti layer was confirmed based on profiling (AFM) along the ablation steps and reduction of Ti concentration (EDX) in the ablated areas. Ablation threshold was estimated using well known procedure for ultra-short laser pulses - spot diameter square versus logarithm of pulse energy. To interpret the experimental observations, simulations have been performed to explore the thermal response of the multiple layered structure (Ti(5x(Al/Ti))) after irradiation with a characteristic value of single laser pulse of fluence F = 320 mJ/cm2. The results are in agreement with the calculations.

description: Several recent experiments find evidence of superfluidity of 3He in 98%-porous aerogel. The primary effect of the aerogel is that it scatters the quasiparticles of 3He. We find that many experimental findings are quantitatively understood by a relatively simple model that takes into account strong inhomogeneity of the scattering on a length scale of 100 nm.

description: We study the heat and spin transport properties in a ring of interacting spins coupled to heat baths at different temperatures. We show that interactions, by inducing avoided crossings, can be a mean to tune both the total heat current flowing between the ring and the baths, and the way it flows through the system. In particular, we recognize three regimes in which the heat current flows clockwise, counter-clockwise, and in parallel. The temperature bias between the baths also induces a spin current within the ring, whose direction and magnitude can be tuned by the interaction. Lastly, we show how the ergotropy of the nonequilibrium steady state can increase significantly near the avoided crossings.

description: The rapid integration of green, clean, and renewable technologies in a circular economy requires stable, abundant, and visible-light responsive absorbers. The ideal solar energy harness and conversion process uses a single material that fulfills photon absorption, exciton dissociation, carrier migration, and surface activity requirements. Heterojunctions enable multiple charge pathways, inhibiting recombination while promoting charge transfer across the heterointerface. This study pinpoints the synergy of combining titanium dioxide (TiO2) anatase with carbon nitride (CN) to create a hybrid TiO2(90%)-CN(10%) heterointerface through a one-pot thermal step. The composite outperforms TiO2 and CN references in four individual photo and photoelectrocatalytic reactions. In benzylamine photooxidation, the TiO2(90%)-CN(10%) composite achieved a four-fold increase with 51% conversion at 625 nm (red light). In photocatalytic hydrogen production, Pt/TiO2-CN outperformed references by 1.9-fold and 1.6-fold, yielding 319 and 148 μmol h-1 g-1 at 465 and 410 nm (blue and violet lights). Photoelectrochemical characterization using 410 nm filter performed 23% of the full-spectrum measurement. The composite displayed unprecedented TiO2 photosensitization under visible-light, attributed to improved charge transfer, prolonged lifetimes, and the multiple charge carrier pathways.

Integrated reconstruction, segmentation and functional analysis for MRI data

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an important role in many clinical applications due to its low radiation and high-contrast imaging. Traditional sequential pipeline for analyzing MRI data includes three steps: reconstruction, segmentation, and functional analysis. For dynamic MRI, i.e., dynamic cardiac MRI, the motion estimation step is also included. These tasks are highly entangled and share important information. However, current approaches are either computationally inefficient or require lots of human efforts to design complicated neural architectures. Moreover, limited work has explored the relationship between different tasks and utilized the coherence information between them. In this thesis, we propose 1) more effective and efficient deep learning-based MRI reconstruction methods; 2) integrated approaches for joint reconstruction and segmentation as well as joint reconstruction and motion estimation; 3) thickness and thickening estimation methods of the left ventricle wall for the diagnosis and characterization of different cardiac diseases. The proposed methods are extensively validated on four different medical applications: 2D cardiac and brain MRI reconstruction, 2D cardiac MRI reconstruction and segmentation, dynamic 3D cardiac MRI reconstruction and motion estimation, dynamic 3D cardiac MRI thickness and thickening estimation. Our proposed approaches are evaluated on various datasets and have outperformed current state-of-the-art methods in all these studies.

description: A general scaling of the evolution of an exploding liquid jet under an ultra short and intense X-ray pulse from a X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) is proposed. A general formulation of the conservation of energy for blasts in vacuum partially against a deformable object leads to a compact expression that governs the evolution of the gap produced by the explosion. The theoretical analysis contemplates two asymptotic stages for small and large times from the initiation of the blast. A complete dimensional analysis of the problem and an optimal collapse of experimental data reveal that the universal approximate analytical solution proposed is in remarkable agreement with experiments.

description: The current scandalous inequity in vaccine availability around the world is a stark reminder that the benefits of science are highly unevenly distributed, as “More than 75% of all vaccines have been administered in just 10 countries” as of May 2021. So despite the many enthusiastic claims that “open” scientific practices (e.g. open sharing of preprints, publications, and data) have contributed significantly to the accelerated understanding of COVID-19 and the development of vaccines, the patents for the vaccines remain the private property of a small handful of powerful pharmaceutical companies. Openness empowers the already powerful, especially when the existing systems are already highly inequitable and founded on technocratic principles. In this talk, I like to call for a rethinking about “openness” as a set of conditions to be met, to a set of actions designed for addressing existing inequalities and injustice in our knowledge systems. I refer to Open Praxis as a framework that encompasses various scholarly and educational practices, supported by policy instruments designed to strengthen community-governed tools and infrastructure that ensure that the benefits of public investment in knowledge-making and sharing are equitably shared. I will draw examples from my own scholarly and teaching practices to illustrate how openness is necessary but insufficient for addressing the structural barriers within the current knowledge systems. I will invite the participant to imagine how “social vaccines” in the form of policy tools can contribute to the building of resilient relational infrastructure that is the foundation of equitable knowledge societies.

description: We have probed the effects of atomic-scale impurities on superconductivity in Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8} by performing low-temperature tunneling spectroscopy measurements with a scanning tunneling microscope. Our results show that non-magnetic defect structures at the surface create localized low-energy excitations in their immediate vicinity. The impurity-induced excitations occur over a range of energies including the middle of the superconducting gap, at the Fermi level. Such a zero bias state is a predicted feature for strong non-magnetic scattering in a d-wave superconductor.

description: Buying foods locally may reduce food-miles and the associated transportation green-house gas emissions. This study shows how existing extended input-output lifecycle analysis (EIO-LCA) literature on transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of local food sys-tems may lead to biased estimates. We develop a modified EIO-LCA model that corrects this problem. This paper illustrates the approach and demonstrates to what extent the results might be biased if these issues are not corrected. As the biases can be large, this finding and the modified method are meaningful and informative for local food policy makers and re-searchers who wish to assess the impact of local foods on GHGs.

In typical open clusters in the Solar neighbourhood containing hundreds or thousands of member stars, ten to twenty per cent of Solar-mass member stars are expected to encounter another star at distances closer than 100 au. These close encounters strongly perturb the planetary systems, directly causing ejection of planets or their capture by the intruding star, as well as exciting the orbits. Using extensive $N$-body simulations, we study such fly-by encounters between two Solar System analogues, each with four giant planets from Jupiter to Neptune. We quantify the rates of loss and capture immediately after the encounter, e.g., the Neptune analogue is lost in one in four encounters within 100 au, and captured by the flying-by star in one in twelve encounters. We then perform long-term (up to 1 Gyr) simulations investigating the ensuing post-encounter evolution. We show that large numbers of planets are removed from systems due to planet--planet interactions and that captured planets further enhance the system instability. While encounters can initially leave a planetary system containing more planets by inserting additional ones, the long-term instability causes a net reduction in planet number. A captured planet ends up on a retrograde orbit in half of the runs in which it survives for 1 Gyr; also, a planet bound to its original host star but flipped during the encounter may survive. Thus, encounters between planetary systems are a channel to create counter-rotating planets, This would happen in around 1% of systems, and such planets are potentially detectable through astrometry or direct imaging.

description: Abstract
There is an urgent need for new sustainable solutions to support plants in facing current environmental challenges. In particular, strengthening of productivity and food security needs sustainable exploitation of natural resources and metabolites. In this review, we fetch the attention to the agronomic potential of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from plants, as a natural and eco-friendly solution to defend from stresses and to enhance crop production. Plants defense by emitting volatile organic compounds communicate with herbivore-attacked neighbors to activate defenses before being attacked.

description: The way a principle system and its environment interact characterizes the non-Markovianity of the dynamics. Herein, we investigate the non-Markovian dynamics of photon polarization in a birefringent crystal. We consider the so-called `quantity of quantum-mechanical process' first defined by Hsieh et al. [Sci. Rep. 7, 13588 (2017)]. The non-Markovianity of the photon dynamics is evaluated by examining the quantity of quantum-mechanical process varying with time, and the difference between the quantity of quantum-mechanical process in a complete dynamics and that in a process composed of two subprocesses. We show that all of the processes identified as Markovian in the seminal study of Liu et al. [Nat. Phys. 7, 931 (2011)] can actually be identified as non-Markovian. The presented method enables us to classify non-Markovianity in the dynamical processes that are classified as Markovian by existing verification criteria. Overall, the results confirm the feasibility of performing the experimental characterization of photon dynamics using an all-optical setup and provide a useful insight into enhancing the accuracy and control of quantum system designs for quantum engineering applications.

description: We propose new superintegrable mechanical system on the complex projective space $\mathbb{CP}^N$ involving a potential term together with coupling to a constant magnetic fields. This system can be viewed as a $\mathbb{CP}^N$-analog of both the flat singular oscillator and its spherical analog known as "Rosochatius system". We find its constants of motion and calculate their (highly nonlinear) algebra. We also present its classical and quantum solutions. The system belongs to the class of "Kähler oscillators" admitting $SU(2|1)$ supersymmetric extension. We show that, in the absence of magnetic field and with the special choice of the characteristic parameters, one can construct $\mathcal{N}=4, d=1$ Poinacaré supersymmetric extension of the system considered.

description: In this article, we introduce a P-wave between the diquark and antidiquark explicitly to construct the vector tetraquark currents, and study the vector tetraquark states with the QCD sum rules systematically, and obtain the lowest vector tetraquark masses up to now. The present predictions support assigning the $Y(4220/4260)$, $Y(4320/4360)$, $Y(4390)$ and $Z(4250)$ to be the vector tetraquark states with a relative P-wave between the diquark and antidiquark pair.

description: Recently Neumayr and Metzner have shown that the connected N-point density- correlation functions of the two-dimensional and the one-dimensional Fermi gas at one-loop order generically vanish/are regular in the small momentum/small energy-momentum limits. Their result is based on an explicit analysis in the sequel of results of Feldman et al.[2]. In this note we use Ward identities to give a proof of the same fact - in a considerably shortened and simplified way - for any dimension of space.

description: The Fluctuation Theorem gives an analytical expression for the probability of observing second law violating dynamical fluctuations, in nonequilibrium systems. At equilibrium statistical mechanical fluctuations are known to be ensemble dependent. In this paper we generalise the Transient and Steady State Fluctuation Theorems to various nonequilibrium dynamical ensembles. The Transient and Steady State Fluctuation Theorem for an isokinetic ensemble of isokinetic trajectories is tested using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of shear flow.

description: Available experimental data on decay rates for B --> ψK, and decay rates and transversity amplitudes for B --> ψK^* are used to investigate nonfactorization contributions in these decays using five different theoretical models for the formfactors. Using the knowledge on nonfactorization so gained, we study the processes B_s --> ψ(η, η'), B_s --> ψϕand B --> ψ(2S) K^*. We find that present experimental data for the last two processes are consistent with the predictions of most of the models considered.

Generalised hydrodynamics of the classical Toda system

description: We obtain the exact generalised hydrodynamics for the integrable Toda system. The Toda system can be seen in a dual way, both as a gas and as a chain. In the gas point of view, using the elastic and factorised scattering of Toda particles, we obtain the generalised free energy and exact average currents, and write down the Euler hydrodynamic equations. This is written both as a continuity equation for the density of asymptotic momenta, and in terms of normal modes. This is based on the classical thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA), with a single quasiparticle type of Boltzmann statistics. By explicitly connecting chain and gas conserved densities and currents, we then derive the thermodynamics and hydrodynamics of the chain. As the gas and chain have different notions of length, they have different hydrodynamics, and in particular the velocities of normal modes differ. We also give a derivation of the classical TBA equations for the gas thermodynamics from the factorised scattering of Toda particles.
