description: Abstract: In the central nervous system (CNS), functional tasks are often allocated to distinct compartments. This is also evident in the Drosophila CNS where synapses and dendrites are clustered in distinct neuropil regions. The neuropil is separated from neuronal cell bodies by ensheathing glia, which as we show using dye injection experiments, contribute to the formation of an internal diffusion barrier. We find that ensheathing glia are polarized with a basolateral plasma membrane rich in phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) and the Na+/K+-ATPase Nervana2 (Nrv2) that abuts an extracellular matrix formed at neuropil-cortex interface. The apical plasma membrane is facing the neuropil and is rich in phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) that is supported by a sub-membranous ßHeavy-Spectrin cytoskeleton. ßHeavy-spectrin mutant larvae affect ensheathing glial cell polarity with delocalized PIP2 and Nrv2 and exhibit an abnormal locomotion which is similarly shown by ensheathing glia ablated larvae. Thus, polarized glia compartmentalizes the brain and is essential for proper nervous system function.

description: Dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies are ideal objects to test modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), because in most of these galaxies the accelerations fall below the threshold below where MOND supposedly applies. We have selected from the literature a sample of 27 dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies. MOND is successful in explaining the general shape of the observed rotation curves for roughly three quarters of the galaxies in the sample presented here. However, for the remaining quarter, MOND does not adequately explain the observed rotation curves. Considering the uncertainties in distances and inclinations for the galaxies in our sample, a small fraction of poor MOND predictions is expected and is not necessarily a problem for MOND. We have also made fits taking the MOND acceleration constant, a_0, as a free parameter in order to identify any systematic trends. We find that there appears to be a correlation between central surface brightness and the best-fit value of a_0, in the sense that lower surface brightness galaxies tend to have lower a_0. However, this correlation depends strongly on a small number of galaxies whose rotation curves might be uncertain due to either bars or warps. Without these galaxies, there is less evidence of a trend, but the average value we find for a_0 ~ 0.7*10^-8 cm s^-2 is somewhat lower than derived from previous studies. Such lower fitted values of a_0 could occur if external gravitational fields are important.

description: Tree ensemble algorithms as RandomForest and GradientBoosting are currently the dominant methods for modeling discrete or tabular data, however, they are unable to perform a hierarchical representation learning from raw data as NeuralNetworks does thanks to its multi-layered structure, which is a key feature for DeepLearning problems and modeling unstructured data. This limitation is due to the fact that tree algorithms can not be trained with back-propagation because of their mathematical nature. However, in this work, we demonstrate that the mathematical formulation of bagging and boosting can be combined together to define a graph-structured-tree-ensemble algorithm with a distributed representation learning process between trees naturally (without using back-propagation). We call this novel approach Distributed Gradient Boosting Forest (DGBF) and we demonstrate that both RandomForest and GradientBoosting can be expressed as particular graph architectures of DGBT. Finally, we see that the distributed learning outperforms both RandomForest and GradientBoosting in 7 out of 9 datasets.

Strip Cropping

description: Problem
 Farming landscapes dominated by monocultures are vulnerable to pests and diseases, in part because of a general loss of biodiversity in the field. Solution
 Strip intercropping creates spatial diversity within the field, which helps support biodiversity and related ecosystem services (such as biocontrol of pests and diseases). Outcomes
 Strip cropping experiments have shown an increase in general biodiversity and beneficial insects, higher yields for various crops, slower development of pests and diseases, and less soil structural damage. By choosing strip widths compatible with the machines a farmer already has, implementation on commercial farms can be realised without significant changes in equipment or management.

description: The object of research is a radio frequency receiver. The subject matter is the characteristics of functional blocks of the receiver.The goal of this works is to create a technique for designing radio frequencyÂ receivers given their power consumption. The modern technique for designing radio frequency receiver devices does notÂ guarantee that a designed device satisfies thesignal characteristics requirements whileÂ consuming minimum power. Therefore, a new technique has to be created. As the result of this work mathematical models of small-signal parameters of a MOS transistor and functional models of a low-noise amplifier and a mixer were created, a receiver was optimized, a Matlab Simulink model of a receiver was created and simulated.

description: Hot Jupiters are expected to be dark from both observations (albedo upper limits) and theory (alkali metals and/or TiO and VO absorption). However, only a handful of hot Jupiters have been observed with high enough photometric precision at visible wavelengths to investigate these expectations. The NASA Kepler mission provides a means to widen the sample and to assess the extent to which hot Jupiter albedos are low. We present a global analysis of Kepler-7b based on Q0-Q4 data, published radial velocities, and asteroseismology constraints. We measure an occultation depth in the Kepler bandpass of 44+-5 ppm. If directly related to the albedo, this translates to a Kepler geometric albedo of 0.32+-0.03, the most precise value measured so far for an exoplanet. We also characterize the planetary orbital phase lightcurve with an amplitude of 42+-4 ppm. Using atmospheric models, we find it unlikely that the high albedo is due to a dominant thermal component and propose two solutions to explain the observed planetary flux. Firstly, we interpret the Kepler-7b albedo as resulting from an excess reflection over what can be explained solely by Rayleigh scattering, along with a nominal thermal component. This excess reflection might indicate the presence of a cloud or haze layer in the atmosphere, motivating new modeling and observational efforts. Alternatively, the albedo can be explained by Rayleigh scattering alone if Na and K are depleted in the atmosphere by a factor of 10-100 below solar abundances.

Urban Air Pollution and Climate Stressors: Exploring Nitrogen Dioxide Patterns and Heat Wave Impacts in Holyoke, MA
Creators: name: Beltran Vargas, Nathalie
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2025

Climate change and air pollution are interconnected, with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and heatwaves intensifying in urban environments, exacerbating public health risks and impacting urban agriculture. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a city-wide year-long measurement campaign to understand the spatiotemporal patterns and concentrations of NO2. Also, we aimed to assess the impact of heatwave exposure during early plant development on plant growth, phenology, flowering, fruit production, and the abundance of floral and non-floral visitors. We measured ambient NO‚ÇÇ concentrations in Holyoke, MA, from August 2021 to 2022, using Ogawa passive samplers. We collected 260 weekly NO2 samples at 25 sites classified based on their land use characteristics. Sites included ‚Äòfixed‚Äô (yearlong, n = 5) and ‚Äòrotating‚Äô (weeklong, n = 20) locations. Results showed higher NO2 concentrations during winter (>150 ¬µg/m¬≥) compared to summer (<3.4 ¬µg/m¬≥), with commercial and highly dense sites experiencing the highest mean concentrations (17.09 ¬µg/m¬≥). Approximately 61% of rotating sites and 62% of weekly samples from fixed sites exceeded WHO air quality guidelines. A mixed-effects model revealed that weekly mean temperature, NDVI, and wind speed were the strongest predictors of NO‚ÇÇ. Additionally, we investigated the effects of heatwaves in urban environments using cherry tomato plants as a model system. Plants (n = 96) were exposed to heatwave (HW:37.7¬∞C) and control (C: 28.8¬∞C) conditions for 3 days during early development, then transplanted to pots and moved to 3 sites. We performed various surveys to assess plant growth, flowering, phenology, fruit production, and floral and non-floral visitors‚Äô abundance. Heatwave exposure increased total flower counts yet did not influence initial growth rate or weekly plant height, but when the site with additional nutrient access was excluded, HW exposure significantly reduced plant height. HW-exposed plants produced more mature and immature fruits, attracted more non-floral visitors, and led to a delay in fruit ripening time. These findings highlight the dual challenges of air pollution and climate stressors in urban environments, emphasizing the need to understand their interactions to protect public health and support urban agriculture.

description: T Cha is a young star surrounded by a cold disk. The presence of a gap within its disk, inferred from fitting to the spectral energy distribution, has suggested on-going planetary formation. We observed T Cha in L' and K_s with NAOS-CONICA, the adaptive optics system at the VLT, using sparse aperture masking. We detected a source in the L' data at a separation of 62+-7 mas, position angle of 78+-1 degrees, and a contrast of delta L' = 5.1+-0.2 mag. The object is not detected in the Ks band data, which show a 3-sigma contrast limit of 5.2 mag at the position of the detected L' source. For a distance of 108 pc, the detected companion candidate is located at 6.7 AU from the primary, well within the disk gap. If T Cha and the companion candidate are bound, the comparison of the L' and Ks photometry with evolutionary tracks shows that the photometry is inconsistent with any unextincted photosphere at the age and distance of T Cha. The detected object shows a very red Ks-L' color for which a possible explanation would be a significant amount of dust around it. This would imply that the companion candidate is young, which would strengthen the case for a physical companion, and moreover that the object would be in the substellar regime, according to the Ks upper limit. Another exciting possibility would be that this companion is a recently formed planet within the disk. Additional observations are mandatory to confirm that the object is bound and to properly characterize it.

description: We study tunneling spectroscopy between a normal metal and underdoped cuprate superconductor modeled by a phenomenological theory in which the pseudogap is a precursor to the undoped Mott insulator. In the transparent tunneling limit, the spectra show a small energy gap associated with Andreev reflection. In the Giaever limit, the spectra show a large energy gap associated with single particle tunneling. Our theory semi-quantitatively describes the two gap behavior observed in tunneling experiments.

description: We present the results of a commissioning campaign to observe Galactic globular clusters for the search of microlensing events. The central 10' X 10' region of the globular cluster NGC 5024 was monitored using the 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope in R-band for a period of about 8 hours on 24 March 2010. Light curves were obtained for nearly 10,000 stars, using a modified Difference Image Analysis (DIA) technique. We identified all known variables within our field of view and revised periods and status of some previously reported short-period variables. We report about eighty new variable sources and present their equatorial coordinates, periods, light curves and possible types. Out of these, 16 are SX Phe stars, 10 are W UMa-type stars, 14 are probable RR Lyrae stars and 2 are detached eclipsing binaries. Nine of the newly discovered SX Phe stars and two eclipsing binaries belong to the Blue Straggler Star (BSS) population.

description: In the present study genetic constructions for viral epitopes expression were developed. We used the B cell epitopes of respiratory-syncytial virus and human metapneumo virus. Constructions were made on the base of pET21a expression vector with cloned protein streptavidin. Itâs known, that streptavidin during expression in E.coli accumulates in inclusion bodies and it can lead viral epitopes to the same place. It was shown, that expression vector pLATE31 was not suitable for expressing viral epitopes. Genetic constructions, that obtained in this work, will be applied for the future work for viral epitopes expressing, that allowed to receive and study antiviral antibodies. It is necessary for future studying of vector vaccines.

Steady State Equilibrium Condition of $npe^{\pm}$ Gas and Its Application to Astrophysics

description: The steady equilibrium conditions for a mixed gas of neutrons, protons, electrons, positrons and radiation field (abbreviated as $npe^{\pm}$ gas) with/without external neutrino flux are investigated, and a general chemical potential equilibrium equation $μ_n=μ_p+Cμ_e$ is obtained to describe the steady equilibrium at high temperatures ($T>10^9$K). An analytic fitting formula of coefficient $C$ is presented for the sake of simplicity as the neutrino and antineutrino are transparent. It is a simple method to estimate the electron fraction for the steady equilibrium $npe^{\pm}$ gas that using the corresponding equilibrium condition. As an example, we apply this method to the GRB accretion disk and approve the composition in the inner region is approximate equilibrium as the accretion rate is low. For the case with external neutrino flux, we calculate the initial electron fraction of neutrino-driven wind from proto-neutron star model M15-l1-r1. The results show that the improved equilibrium condition makes the electron fraction decrease significantly than the case $μ_n=μ_p+μ_e$ when the time is less than 5 seconds post bounce, which may be useful for the r-process nucleosynthesis

Existence and ill-posedness for fluid PDEs with rough data
Creators: name: Kwon, Hyunju
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: It has been of great interest in recent decades to know whether the incompressible Euler equations are well-posed in the borderline spaces. In order to understand the behavior of solutions in these spaces, the logarithmically regularized 2D Euler equations were introduced. In the borderline Sobolev space, the local wellposedness was proved by Chae-Wu when the regularization is sufficiently strong, while strong ill-posedness of the unregularized case was established by Bourgain-Li. The first part of the dissertation closes the gap between the two results, by establishing the strong ill-posedness in the remaining intermediate regime of the regularization. The second part of the thesis considers the Cauchy problem of incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes equations with uniformly locally square integrable initial data. If the square integral of the initial datum on a ball vanishes as the ball goes to infinity, the existence of a time-global weak solution has been known. However, such data do not include constants, and the only known global solutions for non-decaying data are either for perturbations of constants or when the velocity gradients are in L^p with finite p. This work presents how to construct global weak solutions for non-decaying initial data whose local oscillations decay, no matter how slowly.

description: Uncertainty has been shown to impact political evaluation, yet the exact mechanisms by which uncertainty affects the minds of citizens remain unclear. This experiment examines the neural underpinnings of uncertainty in political evaluation using functional MRI (fMRI). During fMRI, participants completed an experimental task where they evaluated policy positions attributed to hypothetical political candidates. Policy positions were either congruent or incongruent with candidates' political party affiliation and presented with varying levels of certainty. Neural activity was modelled as a function of uncertainty and incongruence. Analyses suggest that neural activity in brain regions previously implicated in affective and evaluative processing (anterior cingulate cortex, insular cortex) differed as a function of the interaction between uncertainty and incongruence, such that activation in these areas was greatest when information was both certain and incongruent and uncertainty influenced processing differently as a function of the valence of the attached information. These findings suggest that individuals are attuned to uncertainty in the stated issue positions of politicians, and that the neural processing of this uncertainty is dependent on congruence of these positions with expectations based on political party identification. Implications for the study of emotion and politics and political cognition are discussed.This article is part of the theme issue ‘The political brain: neurocognitive and computational mechanisms’.
Genomic selection in Douglas-fir
Creators: name: Thistlethwaite, Frances Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Conventional tree breeding productivity (especially in conifers) is primarily constrained by late expression of commercially important traits, and late onset of sexual maturity. These characteristics conjointly correspond to lengthy testing phases prior to selection, which in turn restrains the accumulation of genetic gain. GS has the potential to increase genetic gain per unit time by allowing for the prediction and selection of traits at an earlier age. This dissertation investigates some facets of GS, specifically in relation to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. (Franco)), and ‘real-world’ applications. Expressly: to compare pedigree based ABLUP and two GS methods; assess GS prediction accuracy over spatial and temporal deviations; validate the use of exome capture as a cost-effective genotyping platform for use in GS; use of GS to predict breeding values in the next generation; investigate the effect of relatedness on GS prediction accuracy; and to assess the number of makers required for GS in conifers. Chapter 2 utilizes exome capture as a genotyping platform to assess height and wood density GS prediction accuracies across space and time. A cross-generational GS analysis was performed in Chapter 3 using a progeny generation as an independent validation set. Chapter 4 investigates the effect of marker density on GS predictive accuracy in Douglas-fir and Interior spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss x Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.). The overriding conclusion, is that while some of the GS models’ prediction accuracies were high, the main driving force was the tracking of relatedness rather than LD. However with regard to the ability of the available markers to track pedigree, exome capture was found to be very competent. Knowing this, the following trends were observed: GS models performed similarly and were comparable to ABLUP; genotype x environment interactions are an important consideration for GS spatial analyses; height at 12 years was deemed an acceptable age at which accurate predictions can be made concerning future height and wood density; moderate to high cross-generational GS prediction accuracies were obtained, but were influenced by the relationship between training and validation sets; and increasing marker number increases GS prediction accuracy, for Douglas-fir and Interior spruce.

description: Problem Forage production of silage maize becomes increasingly challenging due to soil quality degradation, increasing pressure of diseases and pests, legal limitations in N and P-fertilization rate, higher chances of drought and excessive water due to climate change. Solution  Silage sorghum deeper roots allow for a better drought tolerance and soil carbon increase. Silage sorghum tolerates less fertiliser and is less susceptible to pests and diseases than maize. Benefits  Growing forage crops with varying drought stress tolerance in parallel increases resilience to weather extremes.

Soil

description: Problem
 All agricultural soils harbour microbiome, consisting of a high diversity of bacteria, archaea, fungi and protists. Together they provide ecosystem services which are crucial for sustainable agriculture and a healthy environment. Agricultural soil management may not deliberately impact microbial diversity function, however it may possibly trigger adverse effects, e.g. higher production of greenhouse gases, increased levels of soil-borne pathogens or inefficient use of fertilisers. Solution
 Microbiomes strongly respond to environmental changes and management practices such as tillage (till versus no-till) and fertilisation. This responsiveness can be used for stirring their activities. Farming systems should be managed to promote diverse microbiomes, thereby stabilizing microbial ecosystem services. Examples of adapted management schemes are described in recommendations. More knowledge on promoting beneficial microbiomes should be generated through research.

(Un)Restricting by Design: Women Navigating Public Spaces in the North Nazimabad Neighborhood of Karachi
Creators: name: Irfan, Hunza
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2025

In South Asian cities, public spaces such as streets and transit stops offer a multiplicity of temporary uses by different user groups and this adds more democracy to their use. However, this multifunctional use often excludes young women and girls, two groups of people that public spaces accommodate the least. This research focuses on the space quality, use patterns and needs of women and girls pertinent to two different types of public spaces: streets and transit stops in the context of Karachi, Pakistan. These two kinds of spaces provide a comparison between the public spaces of need (mobility) and desire (social interaction or loitering). Observation studies have been used to analyze movement and use patterns in these public spaces while focus groups conducted with women and girls have been used to understand how girls and women perceive their ability to navigate public spaces compared to those of their families and society. The results confirm findings of previous studies highlighting the relatively low mobility of women in Pakistan, the positive and negative aspects of natural surveillance and makes a case for why market streets in dense neighborhoods need additional studies and planning for with specific consideration of the needs of women and girls they should serve.

description: We study a two-parameter family of Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory which interpolates smoothly between the 1/2 BPS line or circle and a pair of antiparallel lines. These observables capture a natural generalization of the quark-antiquark potential. We calculate these loops on the gauge theory side to second order in perturbation theory and in a semiclassical expansion in string theory to one-loop order. The resulting determinants are given in integral form and can be evaluated numerically for general values of the parameters or analytically in a systematic expansion around the 1/2 BPS configuration. We comment about the feasibility of deriving all-loop results for these Wilson loops.

THE SOCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING CHIMNEY SWIFT (CHAETURA PELAGICA) NEST SITE OCCUPANCY PATTERNS
Creators: name: Yunes Perez, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2025

Aerially insectivorous birds, including Chimney Swifts (Chaetura pelagica), are experiencing significant population declines, with swifts facing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and reductions in prey abundance. Socioeconomic factors may influence the availability and condition of the chimneys they occupy, potentially impacting nesting opportunities for the species. This study investigates the nest occupancy patterns of Chimney Swifts in Springfield, Massachusetts, and examines the correlation of socioeconomic factors with their distribution. Using occupancy modeling and surveys conducted during the breeding seasons of 2016 and 2023, I assessed detection and occupancy probabilities across 75 Census Block Groups stratified by income. Results revealed that chimney capping was a key factor influencing nest occupancy, with a higher proportion of capped chimneys in wealthier neighborhoods correlating with fewer Chimney Swift nests. Despite an increase in chimney capping between 2016 and 2023, overall occupancy estimates remained stable, suggesting that nest site availability is not a limiting factor in this region. My findings highlight the intersection of urban socioeconomic gradients and biodiversity, emphasizing the need for targeted conservation efforts, such as uncapping chimneys in areas where nesting habitat may be more limited. These results underscore the importance of integrating ecological and social dimensions to inform conservation strategies for declining aerial insectivores.

description: Classical molecular dynamics simulations of hydrogen plasmas have been performed with emphasis on the analysis of equilibration process. Theoretical basis of simulation model as well as numerically relevant aspects -- such as the proper choice and definition of simulation units -- are discussed in detail, thus proving a thorough implementation of the computer simulation technique. Because of lack of experimental data, molecular dynamics simulations are often considered as "idealized computational experiments" for benchmarking of theoretical models. However, these simulations are certainly challenging and consequently a validation procedure is also demanded. In this work we develop an analytical statistical equilibrium model for computational validity assessment of plasma particle dynamics simulations. Remarkable agreement between model and molecular dynamics results including a classical treatment of ionization-recombination mechanism is obtained for a wide range of plasma coupling parameter. Furthermore, the analytical model provides guidance to securely terminate simulation runs once the equilibrium stage has been reached, which in turn gives confidence on the statistics that potentially may be extracted from time-histories of simulated physical quantities.

description: Pohl et al. have reported a very precise measurement of the Lamb-shift in muonic Hydrogen, from which they infer the radius characterizing the proton's charge distribution. The result is 5 standard deviations away from the one of the CODATA compilation of physical constants. This has been interpreted as possibly requiring a 4.9 standard-deviation modification of the Rydberg constant, to a new value that would be precise to 3.3 parts in $10^{13}$, as well as putative evidence for physics beyond the standard model. I demonstrate that these options are unsubstantiated.

description: People form political attitudes to serve psychological needs. Recent research shows that some individuals have a strong desire to incite chaos when they perceive themselves to be marginalized by society. These individuals tend to see chaos as a way to invert the power structure and gain social status in the process. Analysing data drawn from large-scale representative surveys conducted in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, we identify the prevalence of Need for Chaos across Anglo-Saxon societies. Using Latent Profile Analysis, we explore whether different subtypes underlie the uni-dimensional construct and find evidence that some people may be motivated to seek out chaos because they want to rebuild society, while others enjoy destruction for its own sake. We demonstrate that chaos-seekers are not a unified political group but a divergent set of malcontents. Multiple pathways can lead individuals to ‘want to watch the world burn’.This article is part of the theme issue ‘The political brain: neurocognitive and computational mechanisms’.

We found that the p-mode frequency at 24.3837 c/d varies periodically in amplitude with frequency 0.0558 c/d. However, all other modes are stable in both amplitude and phase which is clear evidence of non-conservation of visible pulsation mode energy. We constructed a two-frequency model by superimposing two sinusoids with frequencies n1 = 24.3837 c/d and n2 = 24.4420 c/d and corresponding phases f1 = 0:5211 rad and f2 = 0:9481 rad to mimic the observed variations of amplitude and phase with time. The plausible explanation of the amplitude modulation in HD118660 is due to beating of two unresolved closed frequencies n1 and n2.
