description: Cryptosporidiosis is a leading cause of childhood diarrheal disease. In addition to diarrhoea we have found that Cryptosporidium infection can result in growth failure. In Bangladesh we are conducting a prospective longitudinal birth cohort study to understand the natural history of Cryptosporidiosis and it’s consequences for child health and cognitive development. We have established a birth cohort of 500 children in Mirpur, Dhaka. Diarrheal and monthly asymptomatic stool samples are tested for Cryptosporidium using qPCR. Anthropometric measurements are taken from these children.

We are interested to assess the natural history of Cryptosporidiosis and to understand whether early childhood cryptosporidiosis associated with impaired neurocognitive development. Bayley and Mullen Scale, EEG , visual evoked potentials (VEPs), event-related potentials (ERPs), fNIRS cognitive testing and eye tracking being measured. Successful completion of this study will identify not only the role of Cryptosporidiosis on child development in low- and middle-income countries but, also child development in under 5 children using state-of-the art cognitive tests.

description: The progress in high performance computing we are witnessing today offers the possibility of accurate electron density calculations of systems in realistic physico-chemical conditions. In this paper, we present a strategy aimed at performing a first-principle computation of the low energy part of the X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) spectrum based on the density functional theory calculation of the electronic potential. To test its effectiveness we apply the method to the computation of the X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure part of the XAS spectrum in the paradigmatic, but simple case of Cu2+ in water. In order to keep into account the effect of the metal site structure fluctuations in determining the experimental signal, the theoretical spectrum is evaluated as the average over the computed spectra of a statistically significant number of simulated metal site configurations. The comparison of experimental data with theoretical calculations suggests that Cu2+ lives preferentially in a square-pyramidal geometry. The remarkable success of this approach in the interpretation of XAS data makes us optimistic about the possibility of extending the computational strategy we have outlined to the more interesting case of molecules of biological relevance bound to transition metal ions.

description: Our knowledge of the T cell immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in humans relies primarily on study of peripheral blood. However, it is increasingly apparent from animal models that this does not capture immune events in the lung, the primary site of disease. Tissue resident memory (Trm) T cells are a non-recirculating subset found in non-lymphoid tissues which provide a rapid response against re-infection and accelerate pathogen clearance. In a human lung cohort, where patients undergo medically indicated lung resection for TB-related pathologies, we sought to compare the phenotype and function of lung tissue T cells with those in circulation. Lymphocytes from lung tissue and PBMC were isolated and FACS stained for the expression of canonical Trm markers CD69 and CD103; and presence of these T-cells within TB-infected lung tissue confirmed by histology. Cells were stimulated with a peptide pool of Mtb antigens, and cytokines measured by intracellular cytokine staining. In addition, quantitative global T- cell receptor sequencing was done using purified DNA from sorted lung and blood T-cells. We find that Mtb-specific T-cells responses are highly enriched in the lung compared to circulation, but are mainly TNF-a monofunctional, and produce little IFN-g, IL-2 and IL-17. In addition, these cells express relatively low levels of T-cell exhaustion markers TIM-3, CTLA-4 and PD-1. However, Mtb-specific T-cells in the lung are enriched for expression of the transcription factor of regulatory T-cells, FoxP3. TCR sequencing reveals a significant clonal expansion of lung T-cells, including many clonally expanded specificities that are not found in the circulation, consistent with non-recirculating Trm. This work provides clear evidence of compartmentalization of the T-cell immune response to Mtb in the human lung, which maybe important when interpreting data from human PBMC for correlates of protection or vaccine response.

description: We consider the statistical mechanics of a classical particle in a one-dimensional box subjected to a random potential which constitutes a Wiener process on the coordinate axis. The distribution of the free energy and all correlation functions of the Gibbs states may be calculated exactly as a function of the box length and temperature. This allows for a detailed test of results obtained by the replica variational approximation scheme. We show that this scheme provides a reasonable estimate of the averaged free energy. Furthermore our results shed more light on the validity of the concept of approximate ultrametricity which is a central assumption of the replica variational method.

description: A comparative theoretical study of the damages produced by protons and pions, in the energy range 50 MeV - 50 GeV, in diamond, is presented. The concentration of primary defects (CPD) induced by hadron irradiation is used to describe material degradation. The CPD has very different behaviours for protons and pions: the proton degradation is important at low energies and is higher than the pion one in the whole energy range investigated, with the exception of the Delta33 resonance region, where a large maximum of the degradation exists for pions. In comparison with silicon, the most investigated and the most studied material for detectors, diamond theoretically proves to be one order of magnitude more resistant, both to proton and pion irradiation.

description: We discuss diffusion of particles in a spatially inhomogeneous medium. From the microscopic viewpoint we consider independent particles randomly evolving on a lattice. We show that the reversibility condition has a discrete geometric interpretation in terms of weights associated to un--oriented edges and vertices. We consider the hydrodynamic diffusive scaling that gives, as a macroscopic evolution equation, the Fokker--Planck equation corresponding to the evolution of the probability distribution of a reversible spatially inhomogeneous diffusion process. The geometric macroscopic counterpart of reversibility is encoded into a tensor metrics and a positive function. The Fick's law with inhomogeneous diffusion matrix is obtained in the case when the spatial inhomogeneity is associated exclusively with the edge weights. We discuss also some related properties of the systems like a non-homogeneous Einstein relation and the possibility of uphill diffusion.

description: In the strange metal phase of the high-$T_{c}$ cuprates, it is challenging to explain the linear temperature dependence of the in-plane resistivity and the quadratic temperature dependence of the inverse Hall angle. In this paper, we investigate the temperature dependence of the in-plane resistivity and inverse Hall angle in the nonlinear electrodynamics holographic model developed in our recent work. Maxwell electrodynamics and Born-Infeld electrodynamics are considered. Both cases support a wide spectrum of temperature scalings in parameter space. For Maxwell electrodynamics, the T-linear in-plane resistivity generally dominates at low temperatures and survives into higher temperatures in a narrow strip-like manner. Meanwhile, the T-quadratic inverse Hall angle dominates at high temperatures and extends down to lower temperatures. The overlap between the T-linear in-plane resistivity and the T-quadratic inverse Hall angle, if occurs, would generally present in the intermediate temperate regime. The Born-Infeld case with $a>0$ is quite similar to the Maxwell case. For the Born-Infeld case with $a<0$, there can be a constraint on the charge density and magnetic field. Moreover, the overlap can occur for strong charge density.

Continuous Fuzzy Measurement of Energy for a Two-Level System

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A continuous measurement of energy which is sharp (perfect) leads to the quantum Zeno effect (freezing of the state). Only if the quantum measurement is fuzzy, continuous monitoring gives a readout E(t) from which information about the dynamical development of the state vector of the system may be obtained in certain cases. This is studied in detail. Fuzziness is thereby introduced with the help of restricted path integrals equivalent to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. For an otherwise undisturbed multilevel system it is shown that this measurement represents a model of decoherence. If it lasts long enough, the measurement readout discriminates between the energy levels and the von Neumann state reduction is obtained. For a two-level system under resonance influence (which undergoes in absence of measurement Rabi oscillations between the levels) different regimes of measurement are specified depending on its duration and fuzziness: 1) the Zeno regime where the measurement results in a freezing of the transitions between the levels and 2) the Rabi regime when the transitions maintain. It is shown that in the Rabi regime at the border to the Zeno regime a correlation exists between the time dependent measurement readout and the modified Rabi oscillations of the state of the measured system. Possible realizations of continuous fuzzy measurements of energy are sketched.

description: We report on a new class of critical states in the energy spectrum of general Fibonacci systems. By introducing a transfer matrix renormalization technique, we prove that the charge distribution of these states spreads over the whole system, showing transport properties characteristic of electronic extended states. Our analytical method is a first step to find out the link between the spatial structure of these critical wave functions and the quasiperiodic order of the underlying lattice.

description: Ko Matsushita (b. 1962) is one of the most prominent figures in current Japanese choral music. With musical training both in Japan and in Hungary, he is known for his ability to write in multiple styles and genres. Some of his Latin sacred works such as Jubilate Deo and O Lux Beata Trinitas have become popular in international choral competitions which has fostered his popularity abroad; what remains relatively underperformed in Western ensembles, however, are his compositions based on minyō, traditional folk music of Japan. The purpose of this study is to understand how Matsushita balances his own compositional style with Japanese folk elements within his choral works based on minyō through the study of five pieces based in Japanese folk traditions: “Aizu Bandaisan,” “Itsuki no Komori Uta,” “Tsugaru Jongara-bushi”, “Kotoba-asobi Uta,” and “Yukamuli Uta.” Each work is first contextualized with relevant background information that will pertain to points made in the analysis. Then, I analyze the pieces to determine what compositional techniques are being used and how they correspond with factors such as regional dialects, traditional scales, imitations of instruments or settings, and folk song type. Finally, I provide conducting and rehearsal considerations to encourage the programming of these pieces for Western choral ensembles.

description: We study the choice of the regularisation parameter for linear ill-posed problems in the presence of noise that is possibly unbounded but only finite in a weaker norm, and when the noise-level is unknown. For this task, we analyse several heuristic parameter choice rules, such as the quasi-optimality, heuristic discrepancy, and Hanke-Raus rules and adapt the latter two to the weakly bounded noise case. We prove convergence and convergence rates under certain noise conditions. Moreover, we analyse and provide conditions for the convergence of the parameter choice by the generalised cross-validation and predictive mean-square error rules.

description: This thesis has been embargoed for 6 months. It will not be available until October 2016 at the earliest.
description: Recent reports project an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels significantly greater than what has been previously projected. One way to combat these changes is by conserving “blue carbon” ecosystems. Blue carbon ecosystems-- such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes-- have the capacity to sequester high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and combat climate change. While these are some of the most productive ecosystems, they are also some of the most threatened due to high rates of anthropogenic land conversion activities. It has been suggested that incorporating these ecosystems for carbon financing would benefit conservation efforts. The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), a leading global carbon offset mechanism, has recently approved a methodology for carbon offsets for blue carbon habitat restoration in the United States. One of the requirements of all carbon offsets is that they are additional, or indication that these projects would not have been implemented without “additional” finances from carbon offset generation. Given the VCS threshold, the objective of this study is determine if less than 5% of global blue carbon has been conserved, establishing a predetermined criteria to deem blue carbon conservation project “additional”. Geospatial data were used to determine the extent of blue carbon ecosystems which fall into coastal and marine protected areas and were analyzed to determine what percent of global blue carbon ecosystems are being conserved. The results of this study indicate that around 4% of blue carbon is currently being conserved. Since the overall percent conserved results in less than the 5% threshold, this indicated that all new voluntary conservation projects could be considered additional and the results from this study could be incorporated into the development of a greenhouse gas offset methodology for tidal wetland and seagrass conservation. Based on the best available data, policy suggestions are provided to improve blue carbon conservation efforts. These suggestions target the incorporation of blue carbon ecosystems into the carbon market, and encourage policy makers to incorporate blue carbon conservation into climate change mitigation and adaption policies.

description: Recent numerical evidence suggests that a mass spectrum of primordial black holes (PBHs) is produced as a consequence of near critical gravitational collapse. Assuming that these holes formed from the initial density perturbations seeded by inflation, we calculate model independent upper bounds on the mass variance at the reheating temperature by requiring the mass density not exceed the critical density and the photon emission not exceed current diffuse gamma-ray measurements. We then translate these results into bounds on the spectral index n by utilizing the COBE data to normalize the mass variance at large scales, assuming a constant power law, then scaling this result to the reheating temperature. We find that our bounds on n differ substantially (δn > 0.05) from those calculated using initial mass functions derived under the assumption that the black hole mass is proportional to the horizon mass at the collapse epoch. We also find a change in the shape of the diffuse gamma-ray spectrum which results from the Hawking radiation. Finally, we study the impact of a nonzero cosmological constant and find that the bounds on n are strengthened considerably if the universe is indeed vacuum-energy dominated today.

Creators: name: Willetts, Peter
name: Noguera, Filipe
Publisher: name: School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution
Year: 1992

description: One of the research projects currently under way at the Institute is the monitoring of Anglo-Argentine relations after the 1982 war and the analysis of the protracted conflict over the South Atlantic islands, known in Buenos Aires as the ‘Malvinas’ and in London as the ‘Falklands’. [See an earlier product of this research in W. Little & C.R. Mitchell (eds) In the Aftermath, College Park, MD: University of Maryland Press, 1989.1 The original focus of our research was on the nature and causes of the conflict itself and on the efforts of the parties [the Argentines, the British and the Islanders] to rebuild relationships after the short, but violent war and to seek long term solutions to the fundamental issues in conflict. Recently, its focus has broadened to a more general consideration of alternative governance systems or ‘regimes’ for small island communities and of innovative solutions for conflicts over such communities. Whatever ingenious resolutions might be discussed or devised, however, there always remains the problem that options and agreements have to be ‘sold’ to constituents and general publics, so that the process of arriving at a long term resolution of any conflict needs to take into account the barriers which public views and attitudes may [or may not] pose to policy changes. Accurate assessment of the ‘ripe moment’ needs, therefore, to take into account both the flexibility or intransigence of public opinion as well as leaders' perception of their own room for maneuver within that range of opinion. This present Occasional Paper throws considerable light on this issue by analysing the dynamics of public opinion in both Argentina and Britain in the period since the 1982 war. The Institute was fortunate that Dr. Noguera and Dr. Willetts were both interested in carrying out the survey they conducted in 1990 and agreeable to presenting their findings in both an Institute and in a South Atlantic Council Occasional Paper. We were able to support this work out of a grant from the Glad Foundation in New York. We would like to express appreciation to both researchers and to the Foundation for making the research and the publication of this paper possible.

description: The breaking of rotational symmetry on the lattice for bound eigenstates of the two lightest alpha conjugate nuclei is explored. Moreover, a macroscopic alpha-cluster model is used for investigating the general problems associated with the representation of a physical many-body problem on a cubic lattice. In view of the descent from the 3D rotation group to the cubic group symmetry, the role of the squared total angular momentum operator in the classification of the lattice eigenstates in terms of SO(3) irreps is discussed. In particular, the behaviour of the average values of the latter operator, the Hamiltonian and the inter-particle distance as a function of lattice spacing and size is studied by considering the $0^+$, $2^+$, $4^+$ and $6^+$ (artificial) bound states of $^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ and the lowest $0^+$, $2^+$ and $3^-$ multiplets of $^{12}\mathrm{C}$.

description: The $\ell$-component connectivity (or $\ell$-connectivity for short) of a graph $G$, denoted by $κ_\ell(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in a disconnected graph with at least $\ell$ components or a graph with fewer than $\ell$ vertices. This generalization is a natural extension of the classical connectivity defined in term of minimum vertex-cut. As an application, the $\ell$-connectivity can be used to assess the vulnerability of a graph corresponding to the underlying topology of an interconnection network, and thus is an important issue for reliability and fault tolerance of the network. So far, only a little knowledge of results have been known on $\ell$-connectivity for particular classes of graphs and small $\ell$'s. In a previous work, we studied the $\ell$-connectivity on $n$-dimensional alternating group networks $AN_n$ and obtained the result $κ_3(AN_n)=2n-3$ for $n\geqslant 4$. In this sequel, we continue the work and show that $κ_4(AN_n)=3n-6$ for $n\geqslant 4$.

description: The many-body dynamics of a quantum computer can be reduced to the time evolution of non-interacting quantum bits in auxiliary fields by use of the Hubbard-Stratonovich representation of two-bit quantum gates in terms of one-bit gates. This makes it possible to perform the stochastic simulation of a quantum algorithm, based on the Monte Carlo evaluation of an integral of dimension polynomial in the number of quantum bits. As an example, the simulation of the quantum circuit for the Fast Fourier Transform is discussed.

description: We present an efficient method for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazol-4-linked benzo[d]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazol-3-amine derivatives via sequential Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé/click reaction. This two-step, one-pot synthesis was started with Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé reaction between 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzaldehyde, 2-aminobenzimidazole, and isocyanides under solvent-free conditions. The resultant Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé adduct underwent a click reaction with (azidomethyl)benzenes in a tert-buthanol/water mixture as solvent at room temperature in the presence of Et3N and sodium ascorbate to produce the desired products in good yields.

description: Das Berliner Datenportal daten.berlin.de (online seit 2011) macht die Datenbestände der Berliner Verwaltung für die Öffentlichkeit auffindbar. Alle Berliner Behörden (Senatsverwaltungen, Bezirke, landeseigene Betriebe etc.) sind seit 2016 nach §13 des E-Government-Gesetzes Berlin verpflichtet, die Daten „in einem zentralen Datenportal“ bereitzustellen, „die sie in Erfüllung ihres öffentlichen Auftrags im Rahmen ihrer jeweiligen Zuständigkeit erstellt haben und die in maschinenlesbaren Formaten darstellbar sind“. Die veröffentlichten Daten (Oktober 2019: 2150 Datensätze) sind stark heterogen: sie decken unterschiedliche thematische Bereiche ab, haben unterschiedliche Datentypen (Statistiken, Karten, Sensordaten, Protokolle etc.) und unterschiedliche Formate (Excel, CSV, XML, JSON etc.) und werden auf unterschiedliche Weise ausgeliefert (statisch, via API). Das Datenportal ist ein reines Metadatenportal: nur Metadaten sind dort durchsuchbar; die eigentlichen Datenressourcen werden dezentral und eigenverantwortlich von den jeweiligen Behörden veröffentlicht. Die Metadaten folgen einem einheitlichen Metadatenschema, das Aspekte abdeckt wie eine thematische Kategorisierung, Herkunft („veröffentlichende Stelle“) und Kontakt, geografische und zeitliche Bezüge oder auch eine Freitextbeschreibung. Es sind ausschließlich offene Lizenzen zugelassen, insbesondere Creative Commons Lizenzen oder Varianten der Datenlizenz Deutschland. Das Portal wird auf einer Kombination aus der CKAN Datenkatalog-Software und dem Drupal CMS betrieben. Als Schnittstellen sind die CKAN API (lesen und schreiben), sowie DCAT-AP.de (nur lesen) verfügbar. Nutzende des Datenportals können z. B. die Zivilgesellschaft (Transparenz, Partizipation, Forschung etc.) und die Wirtschaft (Daten als digitale Infrastruktur) sein, aber auch die Verwaltung selbst (Kollaboration zwischen Behörden, Optimierung von Prozessen).

description: Background: Hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) is a progressive, life-threatening disease. Until recently, tafamidis was the only approved pharmacotherapy. Patisiran significantly improved polyneuropathy and quality of life (QoL) in the phase III APOLLO trial. In the absence of direct comparisons, this analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of tafamidis and patisiran in hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Research design and methods: Randomized controlled trial evidence for tafamidis was identified by systematic literature review. Indirect treatment comparisons were performed using the standard pairwise Bucher method for endpoints used in both APOLLO and the tafamidis Fx-005 trial: change from baseline in Neuropathy Impairment Score-lower limbs (NIS-LL), Norfolk QoL-Diabetic Neuropathy questionnaire (QoL-DN), NIS-LL response, and mBMI vs. placebo. Inter-trial population differences were assessed by sensitivity analysis. Results: The base-case analysis (FAP Stage 1 APOLLO patients vs. intent-to-treat Fx-005 population) suggested patisiran had a greater treatment effect vs. tafamidis for all endpoints, with significant improvements in mean change in NIS-LL (–5.49) and QoL-DN (–13.10) from baseline to Month 18. Similar trends were observed in all sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: In the absence of direct comparisons, this analysis suggests patisiran has a greater treatment effect than tafamidis in patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy.

description: This thesis documents specific relationships I observe and have with individuals living with autism. Through an extensive interview and interactive process, the varied interactions furthered my understanding of these individuals and spurred my desire to construct a visual representation of them and their personalities apart from a medical diagnosis. As I delved deeper into this work and research, I began to gain a greater sensibility for these individuals and their placement or roles in our society.

description: Interfacing fundamentally different quantum systems is key to build future hybrid quantum networks. Such heterogeneous networks offer superior capabilities compared to their homogeneous counterparts as they merge individual advantages of disparate quantum nodes in a single network architecture. However, only very few investigations on optical hybrid-interconnections have been carried out due to the high fundamental and technological challenges, which involve e.g. wavelength and bandwidth matching of the interfacing photons. Here we report the first optical quantum interconnection between two disparate matter quantum systems with photon storage capabilities. We show that a quantum state can be faithfully transferred between a cold atomic ensemble and a rare-earth doped crystal via a single photon at telecommunication wavelength, using cascaded quantum frequency conversion. We first demonstrate that quantum correlations between a photon and a single collective spin excitation in the cold atomic ensemble can be transferred onto the solid-state system. We also show that single-photon time-bin qubits generated in the cold atomic ensemble can be converted, stored and retrieved from the crystal with a conditional qubit fidelity of more than $85\%$. Our results open prospects to optically connect quantum nodes with different capabilities and represent an important step towards the realization of large-scale hybrid quantum networks.
Dynamical Replica Theory for Disordered Spin Systems

description: We present a new method to solve the dynamics of disordered spin systems on finite time-scales. It involves a closed driven diffusion equation for the joint spin-field distribution, with time-dependent coefficients described by a dynamical replica theory which, in the case of detailed balance, incorporates equilibrium replica theory as a stationary state. The theory is exact in various limits. We apply our theory to both the symmetric- and the non-symmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass, and show that it describes the (numerical) experiments very well.

description: The Bures distance between two displaced thermal states and the corresponding geometric quantities (statistical metric, volume element, scalar curvature) are computed. Under nonunitary (dissipative) dynamics, the statistical distance shows the same general features previously reported in the literature by Braunstein and Milburn for two--state systems. The scalar curvature turns out to have new interesting properties when compared to the curvature associated with squeezed thermal states.

title: Reconciling Design and Evolution in Economic Development: Methods to Map Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Are entrepreneurial ecosystems designed or evolved? Considered as a social construct, entrepreneurial ecosystem practitioners embrace the notion that qualitative entrepreneurship can be fostered through the right combinations of ecosystem factors. This leads to the expectation that entrepreneurial ecosystems can be built, and the appropriate ecosystem factors can be replicated from one context to another. Yet, rooted in geography, many entrepreneurial ecosystem scholars identify the sources of economic novelty as embedded in a region’s capabilities and conditioned by its history—that an entrepreneurial ecosystem cannot be stripped away of its context. These two views have opened debate to more questions; Are entrepreneurial ecosystem boundaries open or closed? What are the appropriate levels of analysis? What, if any, is the role for policy? In this dissertation, I offer a novel entrepreneurial ecosystems framework that integrates both the designed and evolved views and provides a pathway for practitioners to identify areas for targeted policy making that improve regional entrepreneurial outcomes. I do so by distinguishing between the social construct of an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the regionally evolved structure of an economic ecosystem. I argue that entrepreneurial ecosystems are embedded in economic ecosystems and thus entrepreneurship policies must be considered within their regional context. To operationalize this connection between the entrepreneurial and economic ecosystems, I develop a methodology for mapping a region’s entrepreneurship space that identifies industry clusters with the most entrepreneurial potential. Finally, I also provide an example policy assessment of Ventura County, California’s entrepreneurial ecosystem to demonstrate the applicability of this framework at multiple scales of geography and its usefulness for identifying the unique character of any entrepreneurial ecosystem.
