description: We study a matrix model that has $ϕ_a^i\ (a=1,2,\ldots,N,\ i=1,2,\ldots,R)$ as its dynamical variable, whose lower indices are pairwise contracted, but upper ones are not always done so. This matrix model has a motivation from a tensor model for quantum gravity, and is also related to the physics of glasses, because it has the same form as what appears in the replica trick of the spherical $p$-spin model for spin glasses, though the parameter range of our interest is different. To study the dynamics, which in general depends on $N$ and $R$, we perform Monte Carlo simulations and compare with some analytical computations in the leading and the next-leading orders. A transition region has been found around $R\sim N^2/2$, which matches a relation required by the consistency of the tensor model. The simulation and the analytical computations agree well outside the transition region, but not in this region, implying that some relevant configurations are not properly included by the analytical computations. With a motivation coming from the tensor model, we also study the persistent homology of the configurations generated in the simulations, and have observed its gradual change from $S^1$ to higher dimensional cycles with the increase of $R$ around the transition region.

description: We present a model with minimal assumptions for non-thermal leptogenesis with almost degenerate superheavy right-handed neutrinos in a supersymmetric set up. In this scenario a gauge singlet inflaton is directly coupled to the right-handed (s)neutrinos with a mass heavier than the inflaton mass. This helps avoiding potential problems which can naturally arise otherwise. The inflaton decay to the Standard Model leptons and Higgs, via off-shell right-handed (s)neutrinos, reheats the Universe. The same channel is also responsible for generating the lepton asymmetry, thus requiring no stage of preheating in order to excite superheavy (s)neutrinos. The suppressed decay rate of the inflaton naturally leads to a sufficiently low reheat temperature, which in addition, prevents any wash out of the yielded asymmetry. We will particularly elaborate on important differences from leptogenesis with on-shell (s)neutrinos. It is shown that for nearly degenerate neutrinos a successful leptogenesis can be accommodated for a variety of inflationary models with a rather wide ranging inflationary scale.

description: Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been an increasing public health problem since its emergence in the 1990s and incarcerated populations are at disproportionately high-risk for colonization and infection. However, few studies have investigated why levels of S. aureus remain endemic in correctional settings in the absence of an outbreak. The overall objective of this dissertation was to evaluate S. aureus transmission in two maximum-security prisons using a molecular epidemiologic approach and data collected on over 2,700 inmates from 2009 – 2013. The objective of this dissertation was met using three aims. First, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies that used social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate infectious disease transmission via non-sexual/non-injection drug use contact pathways to detect influences of social networks on disease risk. Results of the review demonstrated that SNA approaches in infectious disease epidemiology are flexible and can be used to enhance traditional contact investigations, reveal granular patterns of transmission, evaluate influences of high-risk behaviors and activities, and identify both protective and causal effects resulting from context-specific social interactions. Second, changes in the distribution and diversity of S. aureus isolates with increasing length of incarceration were assessed. The results revealed some evidence for S. aureus transmission based on greater representation of certain strains; however, the genetic diversity of S. aureus was high regardless of length of time served. Third, the influence of social interactions among prison inmates on S. aureus colonization status was examined using SNA. The results showed that S. aureus colonized inmates were more likely to spend time in social groups and that the mechanisms of transmission differed for men and women. For women, the association was driven by being centrally located in the social network and for men it was driven by higher proportions of colonized inmates in close proximity. Overall, the results of this dissertation support the hypothesis that S. aureus is transmitted within prisons as a result of direct skin-to-skin contact and/or exposure to contaminated environmental surfaces. However, the results also demonstrate that, in the absence of an outbreak, S. aureus transmission within prisons is low indicating that endemic levels of S. aureus are primarily maintained by the constant introduction of clones into prisons from jails and the community.

description: We consider an elastic manifold of internal dimension $d$ and length $L$ pinned in a $N$ dimensional random potential and confined by an additional parabolic potential of curvature $μ$. We are interested in the mean spectral density $ρ(λ)$ of the Hessian matrix $K$ at the absolute minimum of the total energy. We use the replica approach to derive the system of equations for $ρ(λ)$ for a fixed $L^d$ in the $N \to \infty$ limit extending $d=0$ results of our previous work. A particular attention is devoted to analyzing the limit of extended lattice systems by letting $L\to \infty$. In all cases we show that for a confinement curvature $μ$ exceeding a critical value $μ_c$, the so-called "Larkin mass", the system is replica-symmetric and the Hessian spectrum is always gapped (from zero). The gap vanishes quadratically at $μ\to μ_c$. For $μ

description: Inflationary cosmology has become one of the cornerstones of modern cosmology. Inflation was the first theory within which it was possible to make predictions about the structure of the Universe on large scales, based on causal physics. The development of the inflationary Universe scenario has opened up a new and extremely promising avenue for connecting fundamental physics with experiment. This article summarizes the principles of inflationary cosmology, discusses progress in the field, focusing in particular on the mechanism by which initial quantum vacuum fluctuations develop into the seeds for the large-scale structure in the Universe, and highlights the important unsolved problems of the scenario. The case is made that new input from fundamental physics is needed in order to solve these problems, and that thus early Universe cosmology can become the testing ground for trans-Planckian physics.

description: Viscoelastic microfluidic devices are promising for various microscale procedures such as particle sorting and separation. In this study, we perform three dimensional computational investigation of a particle in a viscoelastic channel flow by considering combined inertial and elastic effects. We calculate equilibrium positions of the particle in the microchannel for a wide range of Reynolds and Weissenberg numbers, which are important in the design of microfluidic devices. The results provide an insight into the motion of cells and particles and explain the findings of previous experiments. Furthermore, we suggest new particle behaviors that have not been found before. Ultimately, a phase diagram is provided to predict the particle dynamics under a wide range of inertial and elastic effects.

A Mother’s Sacrifice: The contribution of asymmetric cell division to lifespan regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Creators: Higuchi-Sanabria, Ryo
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Cytology

description: Aging determinants are asymmetrically distributed during cell division in S. cerevisiae, which leads to production of an immaculate, age-free daughter cell. During this process, damaged components are sequestered and retained in the mother cell, while higher functioning organelles and rejuvenating factors are transported to and/or enriched in the bud. Here, we will describe the key quality control mechanisms in budding yeast that contribute to asymmetric cell division of aging determinants, with a specific focus on mitochondria.
      We find that the actin cytoskeleton, which drives transport of many cellular components in yeast, plays a crucial role in segregating fit from less fit mitochondria between mother and daughter cells. Since actin cables are dynamic structures that undergo retrograde flow, treadmilling from the bud towards the mother cell, they acts as filters to prevent damaged, dysfunctional mitochondria from being inherited by the daughter cell. This asymmetry has a direct impact on regulation of daughter cell fitness.
      A direct counterpart to mitochondrial motility events is anchorage of the organelle, which occurs in the mother tip, mother cortex, and bud tip in budding yeast. We find that mitochondrial fusion, together with tethering protein, serves to promote anchorage and accumulation of mitochondria at the bud tip. This anchorage must be properly maintained, as ectopic increase in mitochondrial anchorage can disrupt quality control mechanisms aimed at promoting asymmetric cell division.

Wavefronts, Caustic Sheets, and Caustic Surfing in Gravitational Lensing

description: Very little attention has been paid to the properties of optical wavefronts and caustic surfaces due to gravitational lensing. Yet the wavefront-based point of view is natural and provides insights into the nature of the caustic surfaces on a gravitationally lensed lightcone. We derive analytically the basic equations governing the wavefronts, lightcones, caustics on wavefronts, and caustic surfaces on lightcones in the context of weak-field, thin-screen gravitational lensing. These equations are all related to the potential of the lens. In the process, we also show that the standard single-plane gravitational lensing map extends to a new mapping, which we call a wavefront lensing map. Unlike the standard lensing map, the Jacobian matrix of a wavefront lensing map is not symmetric. Our formulas are then applied to caustic ``surfing.'' By surfing a caustic surface, a space-borne telescope can be fixed on a gravitationally lensed source to obtain an observation of the source at very high magnification over an extended time period, revealing structure about the source that could not otherwise be resolved. Using our analytical expressions for caustic sheets, we present a scheme for surfing a caustic sheet of a lensed source in rectilinear motion. Detailed illustrations are also presented of the possible types of wavefronts and caustic sheets due to nonsingular and singular elliptical potentials, and singular isothermal spheres, including an example of caustic surfing for a singular elliptical potential lens.

Gamma-Gamma angular correlation for the 3.251MeV and 4.439MeV
In ¹²C

description: This thesis focuses on a new determination of the radiative width, Γrad of the Hoyle state from the observation of proton-gamma-gamma triple coincidences using the ¹²C(p, p′)¹²C reaction at 10.7 MeV bombarding energy. The angular correlation of the cascading 3.215 MeV and 4.439 MeV γ-rays corresponding to the 0₂⁺2 - 2₁⁺ - 0₁⁺ transitions in ¹²C was also measured for the first time, which uniquely confirms a spin and parity of 0+ for the Hoyle state. The two γ-rays from the Hoyle state were studied in coincidence with inelastically scattered protons using the CACTUS and SiRi arrays at the Oslo Cyclotron laboratory. The CACTUS γ-ray array consists of twenty-six 5′′ by 5′′ NaI detectors covering nearly 15% of the 4π solid angle. The SiRi particle array has 64 ΔE-E telescopes, allowing the observation of proton-γ coincidences and the determination their time differences. In a 12 day long experiment, 5.97×10⁹ events were recorded. Complementary experiments were carried out using the ²⁸Si(p, p′) reaction to calibrate the detector system. Comprehensive sorting and analysis procedures have been developed in the present thesis. The knowledge of the radiative width of the Hoyle state is fundamentally important to evaluate the triple–alpha reaction rate, responsible for carbon production in the universe. Our experimental approach was very similar to the work of Obst and Braithwaite [1], the only previous credible experiment based on cascading gamma–ray measurements, carried out in 1976. However the detector system and analysis procedure used here permitted the examination of the extremely rare triple coincidence events in greater detail. The main result of the thesis is the identification of 529(29) triple-coincidence events, which were used to determine the ratio of radiative width to the total width of the Hoyle state as Γrad/Γ=4.07(22)×10⁻⁴. Our results are in good agreement with the previously adopted Γrad/Γ value based on several experiments carried out between 1961 and 1976 and using different methods. Using the present value of Γrad/Γ and the adopted values of Γ/Γπ(E0) and Γπ(E0), the radiative width of the Hoyle state was determined as Γrad =3.8(4) ×10⁻³ eV. Additionally the γ − γ(θ) angular correlation of the 3.215 MeV and 4.439 MeV cascade has been also measured at nineteen separation angles, identifying a 0+ spin and parity for the Hoyle sate in 12C in the first time.

description: Occupational adaptation is a concept used relatively widely across occupational therapy and occupational science, but, like many core concepts within the disciplines, lacks clarity and consensus in how it is understood. Conceptually, it is poorly developed, abstract, contextual, and multidimensional generating confusion and debate. Consequentially, there are challenges in operationalising it in practice or research. This project aimed to enhance this understanding through investigating occupational adaptation in the context of occupational therapists adapting at work to maintain their professional identity. This context was identified as being of high importance to the profession due to the numerous challenges and opportunities occupational therapists are facing, including funding pressures, changing practice contexts, workforce profile changes, increasing demands for accountability and evidence of outcomes, and blurred and emerging roles. The link between a strong professional identity and ability to adapt as a profession or individual in turbulent times has previously been highlighted. However, occupational therapy’s professional identity struggle has been consistently discussed in the literature. Interrogating occupational adaptation within this context would, therefore, not only enhance the understanding of occupational adaptation, a pivotal concept which is philosophically and historically embedded in the occupational disciplines, but it would also provide occupational therapy with a honed understanding to guide its occupational adaptation in an everchanging landscape, to remain viable and seize opportunities. This research project had the overarching aim to understand the experience of occupational adaptation within the context of occupational therapists maintaining their professional identity.

description: Eclogitic xenoliths from kimberlites are occasionally diamond-bearing, and are often interpreted as having an origin as subducted oceanic crust. The existence of diamonds in these rocks constrains equilibrium temperatures and pressures of some eclogites to the upper mantle. However the additional critical parameter controlling the stability of diamonds, oxygen fugacity (fO₂), is poorly constrained in eclogitic assemblages. A series of piston-cylinder experiments were conducted using model carbonate and kyanite bearing eclogite assemblages to determine the oxygen fugacity of the limiting reaction for carbonate vs. graphite/diamond: Dolomite + 2Coesite = Diopside + 2Graphite/Diamond + 2Oxygen as a function of pressure (P=3.5-6 GPa) and temperature (T=900-1300 degree C). The oxygen fugacity in the experiments was determined using Fe-Ir alloy ƒO₂ sensors and a newly developed Fe-Pd-based redox sensor for high-pressure experiments. The experimental data allowed calibration of two redox reactions (involving garnet-clinopyroxene and garnet-kyanite) as oxybarometers to determine ƒO₂ of eclogitic rocks. Both reactions can be used to evaluate the ƒO₂ of UHP metamorphic eclogites and eclogite xenoliths from kimberlites. The accuracy of the calculated ƒO₂ is highly dependent on precision of the garnet Fe³⁺/ΣFe measurements, which were obtained using the flank method and the synchrotron based Fe K-edge XANES method. Both reactions were calibrated and used to estimate ƒO₂ of diamond, kyanite and coesite bearing eclogite xenoliths from Udachnaya kimberlite pipe, Yakutia, Russia. The relatively high ƒO₂ of diamond stability in eclogite relative to peridotite at the upper mantle PT conditions may explain the higher abundance of diamonds in eclogite xenoliths and constrains the mechanism of transport of carbon to the deep mantle.

description: The combination of Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing (GGL) and Redshift Space Distortion of galaxy clustering (RSD) is a privileged technique to test General Relativity predictions, and break degeneracies between the growth rate of structure parameter $f$ and the amplitude of the linear power-spectrum $σ_8$. We perform a joint GGL and RSD analysis on 250 sq. degrees using shape catalogues from CFHTLenS and CFHT-Stripe 82, and spectroscopic redshifts from the BOSS CMASS sample. We adjust a model that includes non-linear biasing, RSD and Alcock-Paczynski effects. We find $f(z=0.57) =0.95\pm0.23$, $σ_8(z=0.57)=0.55\pm0.07$ and $Ω_{\rm m} = 0.31\pm0.08$, in agreement with Planck cosmological results 2018. We also estimate the probe of gravity $E_{\rm G} = 0.43\pm0.10$ in agreement with $Λ$CDM-GR predictions of $E_{\rm G} = 0.40$. This analysis reveals that RSD efficiently decreases the GGL uncertainty on $Ω_{\rm m}$ by a factor of 4, and by 30\% on $σ_8$. We use an N-body simulation supplemented by an abundance matching prescription for CMASS to build a set of overlapping lensing and clustering mocks. Together with additional spectroscopic data, this helps us to quantify and correct several systematic errors, such as photometric redshifts. We make our mock catalogues available on the Skies and Universe database.

It highlights on 1:1e potential intertemporal costs of temporary reform during the transition, and hence focuses on the examination of the main issues raised by these costs: timing (duration), sequencing, speed and credibility of reform. We examine these dynamic issues using intertemporal optimizing frameworks. We first show that both the long-run and the transitional effects of trade reform depend largely upon different assumptions on its timing and duration. We demonstrate that temporary reform can not only bring about a current account deficit but generate welfare costs, and is thus suboptimal to consumers. We also show that the resource reallocation objective of trade reform is to be dampened if the reform ends prematurely. Second, we discuss how the effects of trad reform under capital controls differ from the effects under a free capital mobility regime, and show that if trade reform is temporary (or incredible) maintaining capital controls may alleviate the intertemporal costs arisen from the temporariness. This provides some arguments for the conventional view that trade account should be liberalized before the capital account. Third, the credibility issue in trade reform is examined. We argue that if the reform is perceived to be incredible to the public, free trade would no longer be optimal since incredibility can act to create an intertemporal distortion. In line with this credibility issue, optimal speed of trade reform is also discussed. We demonstrate that grndualism may be preferred and be optimal when there is a credibility problem in the current reform. Finally, a simulation model of Korea is established to re-examine the issues of timing, sequencing, speed and credibility in an integrated framework. By and large, the results obtained from the simulation analysis conform to our theoretical predictions. The simulation results also predict that Korea's pre-announced tariff reform program announced in 1988 for the period of 1989-1993 would generate a substantial welfare gain, if it is implemented as announced.

description: The standard Friedmann universe embedded in a five dimensional and constant curvature bulk is examined without any a priori junction condition between the brane and the bulk. A geometrical explanation for the accelerated expansion of the universe is derived by using a minimum set of assumptions consistent with the brane-world program. It is shown that the extrinsic curvature of the brane can be associated to the dark energy which presumably drives the universe expansion.

description: We study theoretically the electronic structure of topological nodal-line semimetals. We show that, in the presence of a gap-opening spatially dependent mass term that forms a domain wall, an in-gap charged localized mode emerges at the domain wall. It turns out that such a domain wall is realized by head-to-head (or tail-to-tail) bulk electric polarizations. The localized mode has a topological origin, i.e., a topological confinement is realized, which is understood by a semiclassical topological number defined in the semiclassical momentum-real space. In contrast to previous studies, our study demonstrates a topological confinement at the interface between two insulators without bulk topological numbers. Moreover, the dispersion of the localized mode evolves from gapless to gapped as the bulk bandgap increases, which means that its conductivity is externally tunable. We discuss a possible experimental realization of the stable, electrically-tunable charged domain wall.

description: Throughout its five-year term, Australia’s landmark Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse brought the problem of institutional child sexual abuse to the fore. Despite its increased recognition, however, there remains a dearth of Australian research on the topic. This is especially true for adult perpetration in contemporary educational institutions. An emergent development in international studies on abuse in school settings has been the examination of women’s perpetration, which was largely neglected during the Royal Commission. This thesis contributes to these gaps in the Australian context. Namely, it advances the knowledge base about adult-perpetrated sexual abuse of adolescents in schools, with a focus on female perpetration and potential gender bias. Based on the research results, recommendations are also developed to strengthen the capacity of educational institutions to recognise, respond to, and prevent the problem. The thesis draws on three data sources: (a) a unique administrative dataset derived from an Australian jurisdiction’s ‘reportable conduct scheme’ over a recent five-year period (2015–2019; N = 809); (b) publicly available legal documents (N = 19); and (c) expert interviews (N = 8). Guided by an environmental criminology theoretical framework, it comprises three studies.
Non-governmental organisations and empowerment: a study of women's self-help groups in India
Creators: name: Kilby, Patrick James
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: The thesis examines the nature of empowerment for poor women in India, and the factors that influence empowerment outcomes arising from NGO interventions. Specifically the thesis looks at the role of accountability of the NGO to the people with whom it is working as a factor for empowerment. Empowerment of the poor and marginalised is becoming important a part of poverty alleviation strategies in development practice and it is recognised that the unequal power relations in the lives of the poor has denied them access to many development benefits. NGOs are seen to be important agents in empowerment as they are generally regarded as being closer to the communities with which they are working, than other development agencies, and being public-benefit organisation the goals in much of their work generally support empowerment outcomes. The research was concerned with how the accountability relationship an NGO has to the people it is working with affects the empowerment outcomes they experience. The thesis contends that NGOs are generally not ideal facilitators for empowerment as they are not membership organisations and as a consequence the people with whom they work do not have a direct or mandated accountability relationship with the NGO. This thesis defines empowerment as both the expansion of choice of an individual, and their capacity to act on those choices. The thesis looked at 15 NGOs in Kamataka and Maharashtra in India, and interviewed 77 self-help groups of poor women who were served by these NGOs. The results of the study show that women closely respond to the notion of changes in their agency as being key to what they see as empowering. The greater expansion of choice an action then vi enabled them to take greater control of their lives, and they were able to gain other development outcomes and resources that were available to them. The research found that accountability of the NGO to the groups, together with the period for which the group had been together and the decision-making of the groups, were correlated with empowerment. The research focused on the accountability of the NGOs to the groups and found that this was an area that many NGOs had some difficulty with. First they had competing accountability relationships to other stakeholders, namely their donors and the regulators; and secondly, as public benefit organisations they were hesitant to hand high levels of control over to a beneficiary constituency These findings have important implications for development practice, which in recent years has focused on more on efficient program management practices (including accountability to the donor) for effective programs. These findings point to a stronger focus on formalised participatory processes which hold the development agency to account to the beneficiary constituents as a powerful empowerment process in its own right.

description: We consider a system of t synchronous processes that communicate only by sending messages to one another, and that together must perform $n$ independent units of work. Processes may fail by crashing; we want to guarantee that in every execution of the protocol in which at least one process survives, all n units of work will be performed. We consider three parameters: the number of messages sent, the total number of units of work performed (including multiplicities), and time. We present three protocols for solving the problem. All three are work-optimal, doing O(n+t) work. The first has moderate costs in the remaining two parameters, sending O(t\sqrt{t}) messages, and taking O(n+t) time. This protocol can be easily modified to run in any completely asynchronous system equipped with a failure detection mechanism. The second sends only O(t log{t}) messages, but its running time is large (exponential in n and t). The third is essentially time-optimal in the (usual) case in which there are no failures, and its time complexity degrades gracefully as the number of failures increases.

description: Despite decades of effort, the mechanistic underpinnings of many cancers remain unsolved It has increasingly become appreciated that cancers can be more readily classified by their transcriptional identities rather than by genomics alone. A fuller understanding of the mechanistic connections between the aberrant genomics leading to the transcriptional dysregulation of tumors is key to both improving our knowledge of cancer biology as well as developing more precise and effective therapeutics. This thesis explores the development and application of a network based multi-omic master regulator framework designed to elucidate these pathways. In Chapter 2 we apply this analysis across 20 tumor types from the Cancer Genome Atlas and in doing so identify 407 key master regulators responsible for canalizing a high percentage of the driver genetics present across these samples. Further evaluation of these key regulators revealed a highly modular structure, indicating that the regulators work in coordinated groups to implement a variety of key cancer hallmarks. Genetic and pharmacological validation assays confirmed the predicted interactions and biological phenotypes. Chapter 3 focuses on the application of this analytical framework specifically on gastroesophageal tumors. Using a more fine-grained approach we find 15 distinct subtypes across a cohort of these heterogenous tumors. These subtypes align well with previously identified features of these cancers but also reveal novel genomic associations and key master regulators that can serve as potential avenues for therapeutic treatment.

description: Partial condensation of dust from the Solar nebula is likely responsible for the diverse chemical compositions of chondrites and rocky planets/planetesimals in the inner Solar system. We present a forward physical-chemical model of a protoplanetary disc to predict the chemical compositions of planetary building blocks that may form from such a disc. Our model includes the physical evolution of the disc and the condensation, partial advection, and decoupling of the dust within it. The chemical composition of the condensate changes with time and radius. We compare the results of two dust condensation models: one where an element condenses when the midplane temperature in the disc is lower than the 50\% condensation temperature ($\rm T_{50}$) of that element and the other where the condensation of the dust is calculated by a Gibbs free energy minimization technique assuming chemical equilibrium at local disc temperature and pressure. The results of two models are generally consistent with some systematic differences of $\sim 10$\% depending upon the radial distance and an element's condensation temperature. Both models predict compositions similar to CM, CO, and CV chondrites provided that the decoupling timescale of the dust is on the order of the evolution timescale of the disc or longer. If the decoupling timescale is too short, the composition deviates significantly from the measured values. These models may contribute to our understanding of the chemical compositions of chondrites, and ultimately the terrestrial planets in the solar system, and may constrain the potential chemical compositions of rocky exoplanets.
