description: Ultrashort long-wave infrared (LWIR) laser pulses can resonantly excite vibrations in N2 and O2 through a two-photon transition. The absorptive, vibrational component of the ultrafast optical nonlinearity grows in time, starting smaller than, but quickly surpassing, the electronic, rotational, and vibrational refractive components. The growth of the vibrational component results in a novel mechanism of 3rd harmonic generation, providing an additional two-photon excitation channel, fundamental + 3rd harmonic. The original and emergent two-photon excitations drive the resonance exactly out of phase, causing spatial decay of the absorptive, vibrational nonlinearity. This nearly eliminates two-photon vibrational absorption. Here we present simulations and analytical calculations demonstrating how these processes modify the ultrafast optical nonlinearity in air. The results reveal nonlinear optical phenomena unique to the LWIR regime of ultrashort pulse propagation in atmosphere.
title: A 3.77 (or possibly 4.28) billion year history of microbial communities associated with marine hydrothermal vents

description: Modern hydrothermal vents provide diverse environments for microorganisms. Here there is a large phylogenetic and physiological diversity of bacteria and archaea, occurring in a wide range habitats. An assumption is that similar communities of microorganisms have been present on Earth for an extremely long time, given that there is direct evidence of marine hydrothermal activity going back to the Archaean eon (which began 4 billion years ago), and the hypothesis that life may have originated in these environments. In this presentation I will review the fossil record of microorganisms at hydrothermal vents, focussing on volcanogenic massive sulfides (VMS), which formed at high temperature vents, and jaspers (iron-silica rocks), which formed at low-temperature, sulfide-poor vents. Occurrences of microorganisms in VMS go back to the Paleoarchean and in jaspers to the Eoarchaean (3.770, or possibly 4.280, billion years ago), with the latter being the possibly the oldest organisms yet discovered on Earth. These very early dates suggest that life may have been possible on Mars during its equivalent aged warmer period, and that life may be found at putative hydrothermal sites on the icy moons with liquid oceans (e.g. Europa and Enceladus).

description: We study the evolution of galactic magnetic fields using 3D smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD) simulations of galaxies with an imposed spiral potential. We consider the appearance of reversals of the field, and amplification of the field. We find magnetic field reversals occur when the velocity jump across the spiral shock is above $\approx$20km s$^{-1}$, occurring where the velocity change is highest, typically at the inner Lindblad resonance (ILR) in our models. Reversals also occur at corotation, where the direction of the velocity field reverses in the co-rotating frame of a spiral arm. They occur earlier with a stronger amplitude spiral potential, and later or not at all with weaker or no spiral arms. The presence of a reversal at a radii of around 4--6 kpc in our fiducial model is consistent with a reversal identified in the Milky Way, though we caution that alternative Galaxy models could give a similar reversal. We find that relatively high resolution, a few million particles in SPMHD, is required to produce consistent behaviour of the magnetic field. Amplification of the magnetic field occurs in the models, and while some may be genuinely attributable to differential rotation or spiral arms, some may be a numerical artefact. We check our results using Athena, finding reversals but less amplification of the field, suggesting that some of the amplification of the field with SPMHD is numerical.

description: How might knowledge of socio-spatial reality beyond regional boundaries help social history museums continue to support and define regional identities? Inspired by actor-networks and emotional geography, this thesis brings posthumanism to an Australian regional museum to study contemporary people-place interactions. Research stems from a responsive, inclusive and participatory museology. Using a museum/laboratory construct to destabilize subject/object, people/place and local/global dualisms, a participatory, performative methodology: body mapping, brings identity and place into being. This event produces new worlds beyond classification, expressive of non-representational concerns, and attentive to the senses and contemporary mobilities. Shaped by museum users as collaborators and co-constructors of embodied knowledge, these worlds challenge and enliven the museum. A viscero-spatial curatorship develops. This more-than-institutional thinking folds theory and practice to evolve the museum as a site of production. Here, mobile bodies enact global space, and interpretation becomes an emotional engagement with multiple worlds. Boundaries separating the research, collection and display of place-based identities dissolve. This emergent working practice captures local identities as human/non-human entanglements in fluid, affective transnational spaces.
title: Immunotherapy in Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: biological landscape and prognostic biomarkers to improve patients' stratification
Creators: name: Serafini, Mara Serena
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the eight most frequent cancer in the world, and approximately 2/3 of the patients are diagnosed at locally advanced stages (stage III or IV). Despite improvements in HNSCC management and the aggressiveness of first-line curative treatment, 65% of treated patients experience local recurrence or distant metastasis. Moreover, patients diagnosed with recurrence or distant metastasis have a poor prognosis (from 6 to 12 months) and 5-years survival less than 50%. From 2016 the clinical practice was revolutionized by the introduction of immuno-checkpoint inhibitors, approved for the treatment of recurrent/metastatic HNSCC patients. Nevertheless, only a small subset of patients respond to this therapy and currently predictive biomarkers are still under investigation. Herein, we investigated the tumor biology of R/M HNSCC patients, platinum-refractory, enrolled in the phase IIIb clinical trial Nivactor (EudraCT Number: 2017-000562-30), in which patients were treated with nivolumab. Across the study of single biomarkers and the extensive profiling through genomic and transcriptomic analyses, we aimed to characterize the tumor molecular peculiarity of patients that experienced response or those with the longer survival. While the prognostic/predictive role of Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1; studied by IHC), Tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) appeared to be relatively limited for R/M HNSCC patients, 8 expression signatures (retrieved from literature) showed up significant association with survival and contributed to highlight and extricate the extreme complexity of the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC, which appeared to be strongly immunosuppressive (suggesting and corroborating the activation of several mechanisms of immune evasion). Nevertheless, the testing of previously identified six HNSCC subtypes (De Cecco et al.) with specific biological and prognostic characteristics, indicated for two of them a strong prognostic role and a significant correlation with response. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated the strong relevance of gene expression signatures in HNSCC context (over the mere study of somatic mutations) to identify the biological features associated with benefits from immunotherapy. However, additional analyses for the validation of their significance are required.

description: In order to investigate the role of absorption in AGN with jets, we have studied the column density distribution of a hard X-ray selected sample of radio galaxies, derived from the INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/BAT AGN catalogues (~7-10% of the total AGN population). The 64 radio galaxies have a typical FRII radio morphology and are characterized by high 20-100 keV luminosities (from 10^42 to 10^46 erg/s) and high Eddington ratios (Log L_{Bol}/L_{Edd} typically larger than ~0.01). The observed fraction of absorbed AGN (N_{H} > 10^{22} cm^{-2}) is around 40% among the total sample, and ~75% among type 2 AGN. The majority of obscured AGN are narrow line objects, while unobscured AGN are broad line objects, obeying to the zeroth-order predictions of unified models. A significant anti-correlation between the radio core dominance parameter and the X-ray column density is found. The observed fraction of Compton thick AGN is ~2-3%, in comparison with the 5-7% found in radio-quiet hard X-ray selected AGN. We have estimated the absorption and Compton thick fractions in a hard X-ray sample containing both radio galaxies and non-radio galaxies and therefore affected by the same selection biases. No statistical significant difference was found in the absorption properties of radio galaxies and non radio galaxies sample. In particular, the Compton thick objects are likely missing in both samples and the fraction of obscured radio galaxies appears to decrease with luminosity as observed in hard X-ray non-radio galaxies.

The thing about thing: use of vague language in L1 and L2 speaker employment interviews in Australia
Creators: name: Gassner, Denise
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study investigates the use of the item thing in L1 and L2 speaker discourse in the context of Australian employment interviews. Two main aspects are explored, the relationship of thing with the notion of vagueness and its relationship with implicature construction. -- Given that most research on thing has been conducted in the area of vague language (e.g. Channell, 1994; Cheng and Warren, 2001; Drave, 2002; Jucker, Smith, and Lüdge, 2003; Cutting, 2007), the notion of vagueness is first discussed. From a review of recent semantic and pragmatic literature on vagueness a definition and framework is developed. This definition and framework is then used in a comparative analysis of the vagueness of thing in L1 and L2 speaker discourse. The relationship of thing with vagueness is, therefore, explored in two speaker groups. -- Since the analysis only finds few instances of vagueness when thing is used, thing is also discussed with respect to the cultural context of Australia and the speech event of employment interviews. In particular, the study explores the effects that speakers can generate by using thing in discourse, and, thus, its relationship with implicatures is discussed. Based on previous research in the framework of Relevance Theory (e.g. Sperber and Wilson, 1986/ 1995; Escandell-Vidal, 1998; Jary, 1998a, 1998b), a model is developed in order to discuss the construction of implicatures in the context where the use of thing was observed. From the analysis, it is proposed that the L1 and L2 speakers of English differ in the effects that their use of thing generates in the employment interviews recorded. -- Possible reasons for differences in the L1 and L2 speaker use of thing with respect to the notion of vagueness and regarding implicature construction are explored, and implications of the different uses identified are discussed.

description: The prediction of the arrival time for fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their associated shocks is highly desirable in space weather studies. In this paper, we use two shock propagation models, i.e. Data Guided Shock Time Of Arrival (DGSTOA) and Data Guided Shock Propagation Model (DGSPM), to predict the kinematical evolution of interplanetary shocks associated with fast CMEs. DGSTOA is based on the similarity theory of shock waves in the solar wind reference frame, and DGSPM on the non-similarity theory in the stationary reference frame. The inputs are the kinematics of the CME front at the maximum speed moment obtained from the geometric triangulation method applied to STEREO imaging observations together with the Harmonic Mean approximation. The outputs provide the subsequent propagation of the associated shock. We apply these models to the CMEs on 2012 January 19, January 23, and March 7. We find that the shock models predict reasonably well the shock's propagation after the impulsive acceleration. The shock's arrival time and local propagation speed at Earth predicted by these models are consistent with in situ measurements of WIND. We also employ the Drag-Based Model (DBM) as a comparison, and find that it predicts a steeper deceleration than the shock models after the rapid deceleration phase. The predictions of DBM at 1 AU agree with the following ICME or sheath structure, not the preceding shock. These results demonstrate the applicability of the shock models used here for future arrival time prediction of interplanetary shocks associated with fast CMEs.

An Investigation into the Genetic Basis of Familial Interstitial Nephritis

description: Chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN) leads to progressive decline in renal function, involving patho-physiological processes which are poorly understood. Here, six Irish kindreds with familial interstitial nephritis (FIN) are presented. The largest kindred have FIN which is inherited in a dominant fashion and does not associate with the UMOD locus. Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed, and the linkage area was refined with microsatellite markers and haplotype analysis to define the minimal candidate region. Genome-wide linkage analysis yielded a maximum two-point logarithm of odds(LOD) score of 2.62 at marker D1S394 on chromosome 1q. Multipoint parametric LOD score calculation in this family yielded a significant LOD score of 3.598 over a 5 centi-Morgan (cM) span at markers D1S2721, D1S394, RS2317232, RS857819, D1S2635 and RS876537. Fine mapping of this region defined a minimal candidate region of 14.2 Mb with recombination observed at markers D1S25PJL and D1S2844. These data support a locus for FIN at chromosome 1q21-23. The known coding areas within this locus were exhaustively interrogated with standard Sanger sequencing and Whole Exome Capture. No causative mutation was identified in this fashion. It is likely that the responsible variation is due to a “complex rearrangement” or an intronic variation impacting a transcription factor binding site or having an epigenetic effect. Identification of the mutated gene at this locus may illuminate disease mechanisms of interstitial nephritis.

description: We have designed and developed, from scratch, a global circulation model named THOR that solves the three-dimensional non-hydrostatic Euler equations. Our general approach lifts the commonly used assumptions of a shallow atmosphere and hydrostatic equilibrium. We solve the "pole problem" (where converging meridians on a sphere lead to increasingly smaller time steps near the poles) by implementing an icosahedral grid. Irregularities in the grid, which lead to grid imprinting, are smoothed using the "spring dynamics" technique. We validate our implementation of spring dynamics by examining calculations of the divergence and gradient of test functions. To prevent the computational time step from being bottlenecked by having to resolve sound waves, we implement a split-explicit method together with a horizontally explicit and vertically implicit integration. We validate our global circulation model by reproducing the Earth and also the hot Jupiter-like benchmark tests. THOR was designed to run on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), which allows for physics modules (radiative transfer, clouds, chemistry) to be added in the future, and is part of the open-source Exoclimes Simulation Platform (ESP; www.exoclime.org).

description: There are well-known dark states in the even-qubit Dicke models, which are the products of the two-qubit singlets and a Fock state, where the qubits are decoupled from the photon field. These spin singlets can be used to store quantum correlations since they preserve entanglement even under dissipation, driving and dipole-dipole interactions. One of the features for these dark states is that their eigenenergies are independent of the qubitphoton coupling strength. We have obtained a novel kind of dark-like states for the multi-qubit and multi-photon Rabi models, whose eigenenergies are also constant in the whole coupling regime. Unlike the dark states, the qubits and photon field are coupled in the dark-like states. Furthermore, the photon numbers are bounded from above commonly at 1, which is different from that for the one-qubit case. The existence conditions of the dark-like states are simpler than exact isolated solutions, and may be fine tuned in experiments. While the single-qubit and multi-photon Rabi model is well-defined only if the photon number $M\leq2$ and the coupling strength is below a certain critical value, the dark-like eigenstates for multi-qubit and multiphoton Rabi model still exist, regardless of these constraints. In view of these properties of the dark-like states, they may find similar applications like "dark states" in quantum information.

description: At sufficiently low temperatures, the reaction rates in solids are controlled by quantum rather than by thermal fluctuations. We solve the Schrödinger equation for a Gaussian wave packet in a nonstation-ary harmonic oscillator and derive simple analytical expressions for the increase of its mean energy with time induced by the time-periodic modulation. Applying these expressions to the modified Kra-mers theory, we demonstrate a strong increase of the rate of escape out of a potential well under the time-periodic driving, when the driving frequency of the well position equals its eigenfrequency, or when the driving frequency of the well width exceeds its eigenfrequency by a factor of ~2. Such re-gimes can be realized near localized anharmonic vibrations (LAVs), in which the amplitude of atomic oscillations greatly exceeds that of harmonic oscillations (phonons) that determine the system tem-perature. LAVs can be excited either thermally or by external triggering, which can result in strong catalytic effects due to amplification of the Kramers rate

description: A model of nonlinear electrodynamics coupled with the gravitational field is studied. We obtain the asymptotic black hole solutions at $r\rightarrow 0$ and $r\rightarrow \infty$. The asymptotic at $r\rightarrow 0$ is shown, and we find corrections to the Reissner-Nordström solution and Coulomb's law at $r\rightarrow\infty$. The mass of the black hole is evaluated having the electromagnetic origin. We investigate the thermodynamics of charged black holes and their thermal stability. The critical point corresponding to the second-order phase transition (where heat capacity diverges) is found. If the mass of the black hole is greater than the critical mass, the black hole becomes unstable.

Die Direktwahl als Zäsur grenzüberschreitender Parteienzusammenarbeit? Potenziale und Grenzen transnationaler Programm- und Wahlkampfkooperation am Beispiel von SPD und FDP im Vorfeld der ersten europäischen Direktwahlen 1979

description: The article deals with the potentials and limits of transnational party cooperation in the context of the first European Elections in 1979. It focuses on two German parties, the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) and the Freie Demokratische Partei (FDP). It examines the role these parties played in the founding of the transnational party confederations and the creation of their first programs and campaigning elements. Then, it looks at the respective German campaigns, programs and realization. By consulting primary documents of the respective party archives, the author explores the degree to which the German parties participated on the European level, and the degree to which the transnational cooperation reflected upon the German campaign. Despite their strong involvement within the party confederations, the parties’ use of transnational elements in their national campaign is surprisingly low. It is argued that particularly the SPD only resorted to them if it was in line with their nationally focused agenda. The FDP can uphold the claim of a transnational campaign more credibly through the constant reference to their party confederation.

description: Humans are generally good at learning abstract concepts about objects and scenes (e.g.\ spatial orientation, relative sizes, etc.). Over the last years convolutional neural networks have achieved almost human performance in recognizing concrete classes (i.e.\ specific object categories). This paper tests the performance of a current CNN (GoogLeNet) on the task of differentiating between abstract classes which are trivially differentiable for humans. We trained and tested the CNN on the two abstract classes of horizontal and vertical orientation and determined how well the network is able to transfer the learned classes to other, previously unseen objects.

Role of ($α$,n) reactions under $r$-process conditions in neutrino-driven winds revisited
Creators: name: Mohr, Peter
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Background: The astrophysical $r$-process occurs in an explosive astrophysical event under extremely neutron-rich conditions, leading to (n,$γ$)-($γ$,n) equilibrium along isotopic chains which peaks around neutron separation energies of a few MeV. Nuclei with larger $Z$ are usually produced by $β^-$-decay, but under certain conditions also $α$-induced reactions may become relevant for the production of nuclei with $Z+2$. Purpose: The uncertainties of the reaction rates of these $α$-induced reactions are discussed within the statistical model. As an example, $α$-induced ($α$,n) and $(α$,$x$n) reaction cross sections for the neutron-rich $^{86}$Se nucleus are studied in detail. Method: In a first step, the relevance of ($α$,n) and $(α$,$x$n) reactions is analyzed. Next the uncertainties are determined from a variation of the $α$-nucleus potential which is the all-dominant parameter for the astrophysical $Z \rightarrow Z+2$ reaction rate. Results: It is found that the $r$-process flow towards nuclei with larger $Z$ is essentially influenced only by the $α$-nucleus potential whereas the other ingredients of the statistical model play a very minor role. This finding is based on the fact that the flow towards larger $Z$ depends on the sum over all ($α$,$x$n) cross sections which is practically identical to the total $α$-induced reaction cross section. Conclusions: $α$-nucleus potentials play an important role under certain $r$-process conditions because the flow towards larger $Z$ depends sensitively on the total $α$-induced reaction cross section. The uncertainty of the reaction rate is about a factor of two to three at higher temperatures and exceeds one order of magnitude at very low temperatures.

A Joint Indoor WLAN Localization and Outlier Detection Scheme Using LASSO and Elastic-Net Optimization Techniques

description: In this paper, we introduce two indoor Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) positioning methods using augmented sparse recovery algorithms. These schemes render a sparse user's position vector, and in parallel, minimize the distance between the online measurement and radio map. The overall localization scheme for both methods consists of three steps: 1) coarse localization, obtained from comparing the online measurements with clustered radio map. A novel graph-based method is proposed to cluster the offline fingerprints. In the online phase, a Region Of Interest (ROI) is selected within which we search for the user's location; 2) Access Point (AP) selection; and 3) fine localization through the novel sparse recovery algorithms. Since the online measurements are subject to inordinate measurement readings, called outliers, the sparse recovery methods are modified in order to jointly estimate the outliers and user's position vector. The outlier detection procedure identifies the APs whose readings are either not available or erroneous. The proposed localization methods have been tested with Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements in a typical office environment and the results show that they can localize the user with significantly high accuracy and resolution which is superior to the results from competing WLAN fingerprinting localization methods.

description: The memristor is the fundamental non-linear circuit element, with uses in computing and computer memory. ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) is a resistive switching memory proposed as a non-volatile memory. In this review we shall summarise the state of the art for these closely-related fields, concentrating on titanium dioxide, the well-utilised and archetypal material for both. We shall cover material properties, switching mechanisms and models to demonstrate what ReRAM and memristor scientists can learn from each other and examine the outlook for these technologies.

description: In this paper, we consider classification problem of asymmetric gapped Hamiltonians, which are given as the non-degenerate part of the Hamiltonians introduced in [O1]. We consider the $C^1$-classification, which takes into account the effect of boundaries. We show that the left and right degeneracies of edge ground states are the complete invariant. As a corollary, we consider the bulk-classification problem. We study Hamiltonians that1.are given by translation invariant finite range interactions, 2.are gapped in the bulk, 3.are frustration-free, 4.have uniformly bounded ground state degeneracy on finite intervals, and 5.have a unique bulk ground state. We show that for the bulk-classification, any such Hamiltonians are equivalent.
