Variations in Star Formation History and the Red Giant Branch Tip

description: We examine the reliability of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) as a distance indicator for stellar populations with different star formation histories (SFHs) when photometric errors and completeness corrections at the TRGB are small. In general, the TRGB-distance method is insensitive to the shape of the SFH except when it produces a stellar population with a significant component undergoing the red giant branch phase transition. The I-band absolute magnitude of the TRGB for the middle and late stages of this transition (~1.3-1.7 Gyr) is several tenths of a magnitude fainter than the canonical value of M_I ~ -4.0. If more than 30% of all stars formed over the lifetime of the Universe are formed at these ages, then the distance could be overestimated by 10-25%. Similarly, the TRGB-distance method is insensitive to the metallicity distribution of stars formed except when the average metallicity is greater than = -0.3. If more than ~70% of all stars formed have [Fe/H] > -0.3, the distance could be overestimated by ~10-45%. We find that two observable quantities, the height of the discontinuity in the luminosity function at the TRGB and the median (V-I)_0 at M_I = -3.5 can be used to test if the aforementioned age and metallicity conditions are met.

Exclusion processes with degenerate rates: convergence to equilibrium and tagged particle

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Stochastic lattice gases with degenerate rates, namely conservative particle systems where the exchange rates vanish for some configurations, have been introduced as simplified models for glassy dynamics. We introduce two particular models and consider them in a finite volume of size $\ell$ in contact with particle reservoirs at the boundary. We prove that, as for non--degenerate rates, the inverse of the spectral gap and the logarithmic Sobolev constant grow as $\ell^2$. It is also shown how one can obtain, via a scaling limit from the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, the exponential decay of a macroscopic entropy associated to a degenerate parabolic differential equation (porous media equation). We analyze finally the tagged particle displacement for the stationary process in infinite volume. In dimension larger than two we prove that, in the diffusive scaling limit, it converges to a Brownian motion with non--degenerate diffusion coefficient.

description: A library of 9-arylimino derivatives of noscapine was developed by coupling of Schiff base containing imine groups. Virtual screening using molecular docking with tubulin revealed three molecules, 12–14 that bind with high affinity. An improved predicted free energy of binding (FEB) of −5.390, −6.506 and −6.679 kcal/mol for the molecules 12–14 was found compared to noscapine (−5.135 kcal/mol). Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation in combination with Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) revealed robust binding free energy of −166.03, −169.75 and −170.63 kcal/mol for the molecules 12, 13 and 14, respectively. These derivatives were strategically synthesized and experimentally validated for their anticancer activity. Tubulin binding assay revealed substantial binding of molecules 12–14 with purified tubulin. Further, their anticancer activity was demonstrated using two cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDAMB-231) and a panel of primary breast tumour cells. All these derivatives inhibited cellular proliferation in all the cancer cells that ranged between 30.1 and 5.8 µM, which is 1.7 to 7.52 fold lower than that of noscapine. Further, these novel derivatives arrest cell cycle in the G2/M-phase followed by induction of apoptosis. Thus, 9-arylimino noscapinoids 12–14 have a great potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for breast cancers.

description: We investigate the characteristic spin dynamics corresponding to semiconductor quantum dots within the multiband envelope function approximation (EFA). By numerically solving an $8\times8$ $k\cdot p$ Hamiltonian we treat systems based on different III-V semiconductor materials.It is shown that, even in the absence of an applied magnetic field, these systems show intrinsic spin dynamics governed by intraband and interband transitions leading to characteristic spin frequencies ranging from the THz to optical frequencies.

description: Over the last 15 years, the global trade of virgin olive oil (VOO) seems to face a stringent regulatory regime, mainly through the imposition of TBT and SPS measures. Such a development should have adversely impacted global levels of VOO trade. However, evidence shows that the world's imports of VOO have more than quadrupled in value since 2000. Alongside this trend, the share of VOO imports gradually shifts from traditional sources (mainly EU) to New World producing countries, such as Argentina, Australia, the USA, and Chile. By extracting data from hundreds of NTM regulations, as well as all possible registered bilateral trade flows between 2002 to 2014, this paper aims to empirically explore to what extent particular NTMs impact imports of VOO. The results indicate that while tariffs remain a stringent barrier, most NTMs have a positive impact on imports, rather than enhancing restrictiveness. The paper asserts that the majority of NTMs respond to consumers' demand for higher food safety standards and protection of human health, while increasing available information and transparency. That, in turn, leads to an expansion in the magnitude of imports of VOO products.

Energy conservation for dynamical black holes
Creators: name: Hayward, Sean A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An energy conservation law is described, expressing the increase in mass-energy of a general black hole in terms of the energy densities of the infalling matter and gravitational radiation. For a growing black hole, this first law of black-hole dynamics is equivalent to an equation of Ashtekar & Krishnan, but the new integral and differential forms are regular in the limit where the black hole ceases to grow. An effective gravitational-radiation energy tensor is obtained, providing measures of both ingoing and outgoing, transverse and longitudinal gravitational radiation on and near a black hole. Corresponding energy-tensor forms of the first law involve a preferred time vector which plays the role for dynamical black holes which the stationary Killing vector plays for stationary black holes. Identifying an energy flux, vanishing if and only if the horizon is null, allows a division into energy-supply and work terms, as in the first law of thermodynamics. The energy supply can be expressed in terms of area increase and a newly defined surface gravity, yielding a Gibbs-like equation, with a similar form to the so-called first law for stationary black holes.

description: We describe the controlled loading and measurement of number-squeezed states and Poisson states of atoms in individual sites of a double well optical lattice. These states are input to an atom interferometer that is realized by symmetrically splitting individual lattice sites into double wells, allowing atoms in individual sites to evolve independently. The two paths then interfere, creating a matter-wave double-slit diffraction pattern. The time evolution of the double-slit diffraction pattern is used to measure the number statistics of the input state. The flexibility of our double well lattice provides a means to detect the presence of empty lattice sites, an important and so far unmeasured factor in determining the purity of a Mott state.

description: We use the hydrodynamical simulation of our inner Galaxy presented in Armillotta et al. (2019) to study the gas distribution and kinematics within the CMZ. We use a resolution high enough to capture the gas emitting in dense molecular tracers such as NH3 and HCN, and simulate a time window of 50 Myr, long enough to capture phases during which the CMZ experiences both quiescent and intense star formation. We then post-process the simulated CMZ to calculate its spatially-dependent chemical and thermal state, producing synthetic emission data cubes and maps of both HI and the molecular gas tracers CO, NH3 and HCN. We show that, as viewed from Earth, gas in the CMZ is distributed mainly in two parallel and elongated features extending from positive longitudes and velocities to negative longitudes and velocities. The molecular gas emission within these two streams is not uniform, and it is mostly associated to the region where gas flowing towards the Galactic Center through the dust lanes collides with gas orbiting within the ring. Our simulated data cubes reproduce a number of features found in the observed CMZ. However, some discrepancies emerge when we use our results to interpret the position of individual molecular clouds. Finally, we show that, when the CMZ is near a period of intense star formation, the ring is mostly fragmented as a consequence of supernova feedback, and the bulk of the emission comes from star-forming molecular clouds. This correlation between morphology and star formation rate should be detectable in observations of extragalactic CMZs.

Abstract
Afamitresgene autoleucel (TECELRA®), a genetically modified human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted autologous melanoma-associated antigen 4 (MAGE-A4)-directed T cell immunotherapy, is being developed by Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc, for the treatment of solid tumours expressing the MAGE-A4 antigen. In August 2024, afamitresgene autoleucel was approved in the USA under accelerated approval for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic synovial sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy, are HLA-A*02:01P, -A*02:02P, -A*02:03P or -A*02:06P positive and whose tumour expresses the MAGE-A4 antigen as determined by FDA-approved or cleared companion diagnostic devices. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of afamitresgene autoleucel leading to this first approval for the treatment of advanced synovial sarcoma.

description: DprE1 is a potential target of resistant tuberculosis (TB), especially multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB. 2-benzoxazolinone is a closely related bioisostere of some scaffolds such as benzoxazoles, benzimidazole, benzothiazolinone, and benzothiazoles that have been previously explored against DprE1. Thus, a ligand-based quantitative pharmacophore model (AHRR.8) of DprE1 was developed and this pharmacophore model was utilized in activity profiling of some 2-benzoxazolinones from an in-house database using virtual screening. Obtained hits were subject to molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and MM/GBSA calculations, which resulted in benzoyl-substituted derivatives of 2-benzoxazolinone showing strong interactions with the key amino acid residues in the active site of DprE1. Based on in silico results, the top five hits were duly synthesized and evaluated against the XDR-TB strain. This study is an initial effort to explore 2-benzoxazolinones against XDR-TB, which can be submitted further to lead optimization for refining the results.

The study builds on Morris, Webb, Fu and Singhal (2013) and Kriewall and Mekemson (2010) conceptualization of entrepreneurial competencies to develop a brief nine-item scale for agribusiness students. It contributes to the integration of entrepreneurship into the agribusiness curriculum by first explaining the challenges that may be best addressed through building competencies in innovation and entrepreneurship in undergraduate agribusiness education. In this scale development study, undergraduate agribusiness students from a U.S. Land Grant University considered oral communication, motivation and the ability to recognize opportunities to be the most significant capabilities for entrepreneurship.

Robust spin liquid state against magnetic-dilution in the bi-layer Kagome material Ca$_{10}$Cr$_7$O$_{28}$

description: Recently, the bi-layer Kagome lattice material Ca$_{10}$Cr$_7$O$_{28}$ has been shown to be a quasi-two-dimensional quantum spin liquid (QSL) where the frustration arises from a balance between competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange within a bi-layer. In an attempt to understand what happens when this balance is disturbed, we present a magnetic dilution study. Specifically, we have synthesized Ca$_{10}$(Cr$_{1-x}$V$_x$)$_7$O$_{28}$ (0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 0.5) where magnetic Cr$^{5+}$ ($S = 1/2$) is partially replaced by non-magnetic V$^{5+}$ ($S = 0$). We also synthesized the fully non-magnetic isostructural material Ca$_{10}$V$_7$O$_{27.5}$. We report a detailed structural, magnetic and heat capacity study on these materials. A monotonic increase in the unit cell parameters is found for the Ca$_{10}$(Cr$_{1-x}$V$_x$)$_7$O$_{28}$ materials with increasing $x$. An order of magnitude decrease in the Curie-Weiss temperature from $4$ to $0.5$~ K is found for the partial V substituted samples, which indicates a relative increase in antiferromagnetic exchange with increase in V content. However, despite this change in the relative balance in the exchange interactions and the large disorder introduced, no magnetic ordering or spin-glass state is observed down to $2$~K in the V substituted samples. The QSL state of the parent compound thus seems surprisingly robust against these large perturbations.

description: Based on a quantum analysis of two capacitively coupled current-biased Josephson junctions, we propose two fundamental two-qubit quantum logic gates. Each of these gates, when supplemented by single-qubit operations, is sufficient for universal quantum computation. Numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation demonstrate that these operations can be performed with good fidelity.

description: Based on a quantum analysis of two capacitively coupled current-biased Josephson junctions, we propose two fundamental two-qubit quantum logic gates. Each of these gates, when supplemented by single-qubit operations, is sufficient for universal quantum computation. Numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation demonstrate that these operations can be performed with good fidelity.

description: This work strives to make formal verification of POSIX multithreaded programs easily accessible to general programmers. Sthread operates directly on multithreaded C/C++ programs, without the need for an intermediate formal model. Sthread is in-vivo in that it provides a drop-in replacement for the pthread library, and operates directly on the compiled target executable and application libraries. There is no compiler-generated intermediate representation. The system calls in the application remain unaltered. Optionally, the programmer can add a small amount of additional native C code to include assertions based on the user's algorithm, declarations of shared memory regions, and progress/liveness conditions. The work has two important motivations: (i) It can be used to verify correctness of a concurrent algorithm being implemented with multithreading; and (ii) it can also be used pedagogically to provide immediate feedback to students learning either to employ POSIX threads system calls or to implement multithreaded algorithms. This work represents the first example of in-vivo model checking operating directly on the standard multithreaded executable and its libraries, without the aid of a compiler-generated intermediate representation. Sthread leverages the open-source SimGrid libraries, and will eventually be integrated into SimGrid. Sthread employs a non-preemptive model in which thread context switches occur only at multithreaded system calls (e.g., mutex, semaphore) or before accesses to shared memory regions. The emphasis is on finding "algorithmic bugs" (bugs in an original algorithm, implemented as POSIX threads and shared memory regions. This work is in contrast to Context-Bounded Analysis (CBA), which assumes a preemptive model for threads, and emphasizes implementation bugs such as buffer overruns and write-after-free for memory allocation. In particular, the Sthread in-vivo approach has strong future potential for pedagogy, by providing immediate feedback to students who are first learning the correct use of Pthreads system calls in implementation of concurrent algorithms based on multithreading.

description: In the context of the linear regression model, Shively (1988) has constructed a point optimal test for constant coefficients against the alternative of return to normalcy coefficients. This paper considers alternative methods for the choice of values of the unknown parameters required to conduct the test. These alternatives are based on Cox and Hinkley's (1974, p.102) idea of maximising some weighted average of powers. The paper explores the use of some simple weighting schemes and demonstrates by an empirical power comparison the usefulness of maximising some weighted average of powers in solving this testing problem.
Planetesimal growth in turbulent discs before the onset of gravitational instability

description: It is difficult to imagine a planet formation model that does not at some stage include a gravitationally unstable disc. Initially unstable gas-dust discs may form planets directly, but the high surface density required has motivated the alternative that gravitational instability occurs in a dust sub-layer only after grains have grown large enough by electrostatic sticking. Although such growth up to the instability stage is efficient for laminar discs, concern has mounted as to whether realistic disc turbulence catastrophically increases the settling time, thereby requiring additional processes to facilitate planet formation on the needed time scales. To evaluate this concern, we develop a model for grain growth that accounts for the influence of turbulence on the collisional velocity of grains and on the scale height of the dust layer. The relative effect on these quantities depends on the grain size. The model produces a disc-radius dependent time scale to reach a gravitationally unstable phase of planet formation. For a range of dust sticking and disc parameters, we find that for viscosity parameters $α\le 10^{-3}$, this time scale is short enough over a significant range in radii $R$ that turbulence does not catastrophically slow the early phases of planet formation, even in the absence of agglomeration enhancement agents like vortices.

title: A Discursive Investigation of Leading in Organisational Conversations
Creators: name: Hollis, David

description: This paper considers “leadership as a process of social construction” (Uhl-Bien, 2006, p. 254). Using Wood’s (2005) process ontology this paper differs from the majority of other studies within relational perspectives of leadership (which demarcate who leaders ‘are’ before process is studied; Ramsey, 2013). This paper uses Wood’s perspective to explore how social constructions of leadership and of leaders are continually (re)produced in-process. Using Gergen’s (1994) ‘act + supplement’ theory to explore the performative effect (Searle, 1969; Austin, 1975) of conversations, this paper draws on the studies of Packendorff, Crevani, and Lindgren (2014), Crevani (2011) and Crevani, Lindgren, and Packdendorff (2010) by exploring the (re)production of direction in conversations as micro-processes of leadership. This paper also builds on Crevani and colleagues’ studies by focusing on the role of linguistic devices in the (re)production of leadership and leader constructions. In doing so this paper offers an alternative to studies that have explored the effect of leaders uni-directional use of linguistic devices on their followers (e.g. Eisenberg, 1984; Astley and Zammuto, 1992; Watson, 2004). Participant observation of a sales and marketing meeting and unstructured interviews with some of the attendees was carried out. Within conversations, talk about events, problems and opportunities were constructed into issues. These issues (re)produced direction (as a microprocess of leadership) by focusing actors’ attention and widening out or narrowing down social realities. The findings also highlight the subtlety through which leadership positions emerge. This was done through an extension and concertina of hierarchy which appeared within conversations, with some actor’s talk positioning both themselves and others as being responsible for contributing to social realities.

description: We show that two capacitively-coupled Josephson junctions, in the quantum limit, form a simple coupled qubit system with effective coupling controlled by the junction bias currents. We compute numerically the energy levels and wave functions for the system, and show how these may be tuned to make optimal qubits. The dependence of the energy levels on the parameters can be measured spectroscopically, providing an important experimental test for the presence of entangled multiqubit states in Josephson-junction based circuits.

description: Die vorliegende explorative Masterarbeit untersucht die Bedeutung innerer Entwicklung im Arbeitskontext aus Sicht von Mitarbeitenden, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Nachhaltigkeit. Innere Entwicklung wird definiert durch die Inner Development Goals (IDG), welche Fähigkeiten, Kompetenzen und Eigenschaften beschreiben, die relevant sind für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Dafür wurden 16 narrative Interviews mit Personen aus allen Generationen durchgeführt, um die subjektiven Theorien und Bedeutungen zu erfassen. Die Daten wurden mittels inhaltlich strukturierender Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet mit dem Fokus auf Kategorienbildung am Material und ergänzenden Elementen aus der Grounded Theory. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass innere Entwicklung ein transkontextuelles Phänomen ist, welches nicht isoliert betrachtet werden kann. Innere Entwicklung ist ein Prozess der Verbindung mit einem selbst, Anderen und der Natur, der zur eigenen Emanzipation beiträgt und schliesslich einen kontinuierlichen Prozess des Wachstums, des Lernens und des Reifens darstellt. Diese Prozesse finden insbesondere in Entwicklungs- und Reflexionsräumen statt und werden dadurch gefördert. Besonders relevante Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen stellen die Selbstreflexion, Handlungsfähigkeit, Perspektivenerweiterung sowie ein Komplexitätsbewusstsein und Systemdenken dar. Die Untersuchung zeigt auch, dass nachhaltiges Denken und Handeln stark mit der Reflexion eigener Werte, Einstellungen und Überzeugungen verbunden sind. Die Arbeit schliesst mit praktischen Implikationen für Mitarbeitende, Organisationen sowie Fachleute und zeigt auf, wie innere Entwicklung und nachhaltiges Handeln im Arbeitskontext gefördert werden können.

description: Currently, costs at the UBC Farm exceed revenues with the deficit being met with grant money deeming the Farm unsustainable. To amend this, the UBC Farm is exploring the option of expanding the current Farm Market to a larger multi-vendor market. This option could generate additional income for the farm and help meet consumer demand. After conversing with representatives, creating and analyzing surveys for stakeholders, examining relevant policies, and investigating research papers from previous years, it was realized that there is an ample consumer base to encourage the expansion of the UBC Farm Market provided the market expand their product selection to include other products with a preference for those locally grown. The vendors who were surveyed indicated that they could provide the desired products, but many have difficulty overcoming barriers such as time constraints and labour requirements. Addressing these issues would likely increase vendor participation, and in turn, increase market popularity and consumer traffic. With time and consistent effort, the UBC Farm Market can aid in turning the UBC Farm into a sustainable and viable project at UBC.

description: We study the quantum mechanical behavior of a macroscopic, three-body, superconducting circuit. Microwave spectroscopy on our system, a resonator coupling two large Josephson junctions, produced complex energy spectra well explained by quantum theory over a large frequency range. By tuning each junction separately into resonance with the resonator, we first observe strong coupling between each junction and the resonator. Bringing both junctions together into resonance with the resonator, we find spectroscopic evidence for entanglement between all three degrees of freedom, and suggest a new method for controllable coupling of distant qubits, a key step toward quantum computation.
