THE ROLE OF AtGEN1 IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA MEIOTIC RECOMBINATION
Creators: name: Munoz, Daniela

description: During prophase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair, synapse and exchange DNA by recombining through crossovers (COs). Recombination is necessary in many organisms for correct chromosome segregation, and thus fertility, including in humans and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Osman et al., 2011). The enzyme(s) that resolves what is thought to be the main intermediate DNA structure of recombination, a double Holliday junction (dHJ), remains elusive in most eukaryotes including in Arabidopsis. Three nuclear endonucleases have been found resolve eukaryotic HJs in vitro: Mus81-Mms4 (EME), Slx1-Slx4 and, Yen1/GEN1. AtMUS81 generates about 15% of all COs (Berchowitz et al., 2007), while the two homologs of the SLX1-SLX4 complex have been identified but remain to be characterized (At2g30350 and At5g43210). In humans Mus81-Mms4 (EME), Slx1-Slx4 have been found to work in the same pathway, which is separate from GEN1’s activity (reviewed by (West et al., 2015)). Arabidopsis has two Yen1/GEN1orthologs: AtGEN1 (At1g01880) and AtSEND1 (At3g48900). Two recent studies in Arabidopsis have characterized these genes. Bauknecht and Kobbe demonstrated that both AtGEN1 and AtSEND1 have dHJ resolving activity in vitro (Bauknecht and Kobbe, 2014). Olivier et. al went more deeply into understanding the role of AtGEN1 and AtSEND1 in DNA repair and meiosis (Olivier et al., 2015). This is the first characterization of these genes in Arabidopsis and revealed that knockout of AtGEN1 and AtSEND1 single and double mutants do not show growth defects, sensitivity to DNA damage or infertility. They also demonstrated that the combined loss of AtMUS81 and AtSEND1 leads to severe developmental defects, while the same is not the case upon the loss of AtMUS81 and AtGEN1. They also found that AtSEND1 is an important backup in genome stability upon the loss of AtMUS81. In this study we investigate whether AtGEN1 has a role in Arabidopsis HR. Our preliminary data shows that insertional T-DNA mutant alleles of AtGEN1 have altered recombination frequencies, thus AtGEN1 may be involved in HJ resolution in Arabidopsis meiotic recombination.

description: Tall buildings are being designed and built across a wide range of cities. A poorly designed tall building can tremendously increase the building’s appetite for energy. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the design strategies that help a high-rise office building to be more energy efficient. For this purpose, a comparative study on twelve case buildings in three climate groups (temperate, sub-tropical & tropical) was performed. The exterior envelope, building form and orientation, service core placement, plan layout, and special design elements like atria and sky gardens were the subject of investigation. The effectiveness of different design strategies for reducing the cooling, heating, ventilation and electric lighting energy were analysed. Finally, lessons from these buildings were defined for the three climates. Furthermore, a comparison of building energy performance data with international benchmarks confirmed that in temperate and sub-tropical climates sustainable design strategies for high-rise buildings were performing well, as a result leading to lower energy consumption. However, for the tropics the design of high-rise buildings needs higher concern.

description: Decisions made at early stages of the design are of the utmost importance for the energy-efficiency of buildings. Wrong decisions and design failures related to a building’s general layout, shape, façade transparency or orientation can increase the operational energy tremendously. These failures can be avoided in advance through simple changes in the design. Using extensive parametric energy simulations by DesignBuilder, this paper investigates the impact of geometric factors for the energy-efficiency of high-rise office buildings in three climates contexts: Amsterdam (Temperate), Sydney (Sub-tropical) and Singapore (Tropical). The investigation is carried out on 12 plan shapes, 7 plan depths, 4 building orientations and discrete values for window-to-wall ratio. Among selected options, each sub-section determines the most efficient solution for different design measures and climates. The optimal design solution is the one that minimizes, on an annual basis, the sum of the energy use for heating, cooling, electric lighting and fans. The results indicate that, the general building design is an important issue to consider for high-rise buildings: they can influence the energy use up to 32%. For most of the geometric factors, the greatest difference between the optimal and the worst solution occurs in the sub-tropical climate, while the tropical climate is the one that shows the smallest difference. In case of the plan depth, special attention should be paid in a temperate climate, as the total energy use can increase more than other climates. Regarding energy performance, the following building geometry factors have the highest to lowest influence: building orientation, plan shape, plan depth, and window-to-wall ratio.

description: Let $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$ denote the identity connected component of the real orthogonal group with signature $(p,q)$. We give a complete description of the spaces of continuous and generalized translation- and $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$-invariant valuations, generalizing Hadwiger's classification of Euclidean isometry-invariant valuations. As a result of independent interest, we identify within the space of translation-invariant valuations the class of Klain-Schneider continuous valuations, which strictly contains all continuous translation-invariant valuations. The operations of pull-back and push-forward by a linear map extend naturally to this class.

Simulations of the tidal interaction and mass transfer of a star in an eccentric orbit around an intermediate-mass black hole: the case of HLX-1

description: The X-ray source HLX-1 near the spiral galaxy ESO 243-49 is currently the best intermediate-mass black hole candidate. It has a peak bolometric luminosity of $10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$, which implies a mass inflow rate of $\sim10^{-4}$ MSun yr$^{-1}$, but the origin of this mass is unknown. It has been proposed that there is a star on an eccentric orbit around the black hole which transfers mass at pericentre. To investigate the orbital evolution of this system, we perform stellar evolution simulations using mesa and SPH simulations of a stellar orbit around an intermediate-mass black hole using fi. We run and couple these simulations using the amuse framework. We find that mass is lost through both the first and second Lagrange points and that there is a delay of up to 10 days between the pericentre passage and the peak mass loss event. The orbital evolution timescales we find in our simulations are larger than what is predicted by analytical models, but these models fall within the errors of our results. Despite the fast orbital evolution, we are unable to reproduce the observed change in outburst period. We conclude that the change in the stellar orbit with the system parameters investigated here is unable to account for all observed features of HLX-1.

description: Scientists are frequently faced with the important decision to start or terminate a creative partnership. This process can be influenced by strategic motivations, as early career researchers are pursuers, whereas senior researchers are typically attractors, of new collaborative opportunities. Focusing on the longitudinal aspects of scientific collaboration, we analyzed 473 collaboration profiles using an ego-centric perspective which accounts for researcher-specific characteristics and provides insight into a range of topics, from career achievement and sustainability to team dynamics and efficiency. From more than 166,000 collaboration records, we quantify the frequency distributions of collaboration duration and tie-strength, showing that collaboration networks are dominated by weak ties characterized by high turnover rates. We use analytic extreme-value thresholds to identify a new class of indispensable `super ties', the strongest of which commonly exhibit >50% publication overlap with the central scientist. The prevalence of super ties suggests that they arise from career strategies based upon cost, risk, and reward sharing and complementary skill matching. We then use a combination of descriptive and panel regression methods to compare the subset of publications coauthored with a super tie to the subset without one, controlling for pertinent features such as career age, prestige, team size, and prior group experience. We find that super ties contribute to above-average productivity and a 17% citation increase per publication, thus identifying these partnerships - the analog of life partners - as a major factor in science career development.

description: Das Projekt führte das Interesse von Kindern und Jugendlichen an elektronischen Medien zusammen mit Themen, die für die persönliche Bewusstseinsentwicklung hinsichtlich Kon-sum- und Lebensstilfragen im Alter zwischen 10 und 15 Jahren bedeutsam sind. Bei der Auswahl der Inhalte wurden die Interessen der Zielgruppe berücksichtigt, und bei der Ausge-staltung der einzelnen Themen und Medienangebote wirkten die jungen Akteure entschei-dend mit. So entstanden in jugendgemäßer Sprache vielfältige Beiträge, die über die ver-schiedenen Kanäle des im Laufe des Projektes entstandenen Kommunikationssystems pu-bliziert wurden. Diese Einbindung und Partizipation der Schüler_innen bei der Mediengestal-tung war den Projektpartnern aus Berlin und Bratislava ein besonderes Anliegen im Hinblick auf die Akzeptanz bei der anvisierten Zielgruppe. Als Ergebnisse des Projektes entstanden in gemeinsamer Entwicklung in beiden Ländern elektronische Medien für die Nutzung 11-15 jähriger Schüler. Inhaltlich ging es um die Be-reitstellung von Informationen und interessanten Aktionen zum nachhaltigen Konsum und Ressourcenschutz. Neben einer elektronischen Schülerzeitschrift wurde von beiden Partnern eine Mobiltelefon - und Internet-Applikation incl. Datenbank mit Informationen, Anregungen und Tipps zu den oben genannten Themen entwickelt. Spiel-, Lern- und Lehrmaterialien mit Bezugspunkten zum Lebensstil der Kinder und Jugendliche sowie zu regionalen wie globa-len Vorgängen ermöglichten eine spielerische Aneignung komplexer Zusammenhänge. Das Projekt mit seinen verschiedenen Bereichen gab Kindern und Jugendlichen die Möglich-keit, eigenes Nachdenken und Handeln als spannend und herausfordernd zu erleben und sich mit guten Ideen und dem Begreifen von Zusammenhängen auch selbst zu präsentieren und als wirksam zu erleben. Das Projekt setzte nicht nur auf Wissensvermittlung, sondern auf die Aneignung von Kompetenzen und argumentativ hinterlegten Standpunkten bei den Schülern. Anhand eines regelmäßigen Informationsaustausches wurden zahlreiche Diskus-sionen in Gang gebracht, die globale Vorgänge und aktuelle Lebenssituationen der Beteilig-ten reflektierten. Die Ausgestaltung der Themen in den Zeitschriften, der App und in den vie-len Webseitenbeiträgen in beiden Ländern und natürlich auch die das Projekt begleitenden öffentlichen und schulischen Veranstaltungen haben vielfältige Möglichkeiten geboten, sich ideenreich und kreativ Entscheidungsgrundlagen für das eigene Verhalten in einer Welt, de-ren Ressourcen endlich sind, anzueignen. Das zweijährige Projekt lief von Mitte Dezember 2014 bis Mitte Dezember 2016. Projektträger war die GRÜNE LIGA Berlin e.V., Kooperati-onspartner die slowakische NGO Strom života / Baum des Lebens mit Sitz in Bratislava.

description: The complete refuelling of the plasma density loss (pump-out) caused by mitigation of Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) is demonstrated on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The plasma is refuelled by injection of frozen deuterium pellets and ELMs are mitigated by external resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs). In this experiment relevant dimensionless parameters, such as relative pellet size, relative RMP amplitude and pedestal collisionality are kept at the ITER like values. Refuelling of density pump out requires a factor of two increase of nominal fuelling rate. Energy confinement and pedestal temperatures are not restored to pre-RMP values by pellet refuelling.

description: Safety issues for fluoroquinolones have been provided by regulatory agencies. This study was conducted to identify signals of fluoroquinolones reported in the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KAERS) using tree-based machine learning (ML) methods. All adverse events (AEs) associated with the target drugs reported in the KAERS from 2013 to 2017 were matched with drug label information. A dataset containing label-positive and -negative AEs was arbitrarily divided into training and test sets. Decision tree, random forest (RF), bagging, and gradient boosting machine (GBM) were fitted on the training set with hyperparameters tuned using five-fold cross-validation and applied to the test set. The ML method with the highest area under the curve (AUC) scores was selected as the final ML model. Bagging was selected as the final ML model for gemifloxacin (AUC score: 1) and levofloxacin (AUC: 0.9987). RF was selected in ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and ofloxacin (AUC scores: 0.9859, 0.9974, and 0.9999 respectively). We found that the final ML methods detected additional signals that were not detected using the disproportionality analysis (DPA) methods. The bagging-or-RF-based ML methods performed better than DPA and detected novel AE signals previously unidentified using the DPA methods.
Age-related changes in time perception

description: Reduced timing abilities have been reported in older adults and are associated with pathological cognitive decline. However, time perception experiments often lack ecological validity. To determine the impact of higher ecological validity on timing experiments, we implemented a paradigm that allowed us to test (i) the effect of embedding the to-be-timed stimuli within a naturalistic visual scene, and (ii) the effect of retrospective time judgments, which are more common in real life than prospective judgments.
Obedience, justice & progress: a Kantian account of revolution
Creators: name: Hoffman, Eva
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: In his political writings, Immanuel Kant explicitly denies the right to revolution. In this thesis, I argue that this denial is inconsistent with Kant's teleological view of history and the duty to work towards political progress. Given Kant's understanding of human nature as selfish and violent, we cannot always rely on a top-down model of progress and must not assume a passive role of civil obedience in all circumstances. Kant's duty to obey should be tempered by the right to resist in political societies where the constitution restricts or destroys mechanisms for future change. Contrary to the views of Christine M. Korsgaard, whose interpretation of the good revolutionary I refute, a modified Kantian account permits a principled justification for revolution.
A new approach to barrier-top fission dynamics

description: We proposed a calculational framework for describing induced fission that avoids the Bohr-Wheeler assumption of well-defined fission channels. The building blocks of our approach are configurations that form a discrete, orthogonal basis and can be characterized by both energy and shape. The dynamics is to be determined by interaction matrix elements between the states rather than by a Hill-Wheeler construction of a collective coordinate. Within our approach, several simple limits can be seen: diffusion; quantized conductance; and ordinary decay through channels. The specific proposal for the discrete basis is to use the $K^π$ quantum numbers of the axially symmetric Hartree-Fock approximation to generate the configurations. Fission paths would be determined by hopping from configuration to configuration via the residual interaction. We show as an example the configurations needed to describe a fictitious fission decay $^{32}{\rm S} \rightarrow ^{16}{\rm O} + ^{16}{\rm O}$. We also examine the geometry of the path for fission of $^{236}$U, measuring distances by the number of jumps needed to go to a new $K^π$ partition.

Impact of momentum anisotropy and turbulent chromo-fields on thermal particle production in quark-gluon plasma medium

description: Momentum anisotropy present during the hydrodynamic evolution of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in RHIC may lead to chromo-Weibel instability and turbulent chromo-fields.The dynamics of the quark and gluon momentum distributions in this case is governed by an effective diffusive Vlasov equation (linearized). The solution of this linearized transport equation for the modified momentum distribution functions lead to the mathematical form of non-equilibrium momentum distribution functions of quarks/antiquarks and gluons. The modification to these distributions encode the physics of turbulent color fields and momentum anisotropy. In the present manuscript, we employ these distribution functions to to estimate thermal dilepton production rate in the QGP medium. The production rate is seen to have appreciable sensitivity to the strength of the anisotropy.

description: We introduce a two-dimensional short-range correlated disorder that is the natural generalization of the well-known one-dimensional dual random dimer model [Phys. Rev. Lett 65, 88 (1990)]. We demonstrate that, as in one dimension, this model induces a localization-delocalization transition in the single-particle spectrum. Moreover we show that the effect of such a disorder on a weakly-interacting boson gas is to enhance the condensate spatial homogeneity and delocalisation, and to increase the condensate fraction around an effective resonance of the two-dimensional dual dimers. This study proves that short-range correlations of a disordered potential can enhance the quantum coherence of a weakly-interacting many-body system.

Self-Made Royalty: Celebrity in German Literature
Creators: name: Piel, Maryann Minnie
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: This dissertation explores the development of German literary celebrity and its influence on the German literary canon beginning in the 18th century. I explore in particular the influence of gender on achieving and maintaining one’s celebrity status, both within representative literary works and for the authors themselves. I focus on the development of modern celebrity in the context of male-female author pairings during three significant time periods: the Enlightenment, the early 20th century, and the contemporary period. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Sophie von La Roche serve as representatives of the gender dynamics of authorship and literary celebrity at play during and immediately following the Enlightenment. The simultaneous elevation of the “genius” male author and denigration of female artistic production has resulted in a lack of recognition for the influence of La Roche's novel Geschichte des Fräuleins von Sternheim (1771) on the development of the German epistolary novel in general and on Goethe’s Leiden des jungen Werther (1774) in particular. The early 20th century likewise is a period of radical changes, both modernizing and regressive in light of the rise of Nazism in Germany. Here I focus on Thomas Mann and Irmgard Keun, as both authors offer crucial insight into the influence of gender on the authors’ ability not only to access literary success but to achieve lasting renown. Mann’s and Keun’s exile novels, Lotte in Weimar (1939) and Kind aller Länder (1938) respectively, offer divergent yet critical depictions of the male celebrity author. In our contemporary period I engage with the biographies and literary works of Elfriede Jelinek and Martin Walser. Both authors’ long and successful literary careers offer compelling cases for comparison: Jelinek has withdrawn almost completely from the public sphere in recent years, whereas Walser has remained in the spotlight despite several controversies. I read Walser’s Ein liebender Mann (2008) alongside Jelinek’s play Der Tod und das Mädchen IV: Jackie (2004), revealing a highly gendered relationship between (literary) celebrity and the public. The connecting thread among the male authors in this study is a mode of self-fashioning vis-à-vis Goethe; indeed, both Mann and Walser, whose novels fictionalize the historical Goethe, figuratively write themselves into the revered lineage of German authorship. What becomes apparent through the gendered pairings is an easily traceable male genealogy of authorship contrasted with a disjointed history of female authorship. My dissertation offers a pathway to writing a more diverse literary genealogy by highlighting the incomplete democratization of celebrity in the Literaturbetrieb and in the broader literary field.

description: We investigate the spin dynamics including Gilbert damping in the ferromagnetic nanowire arrays. We have measured the ferromagnetic resonance of ferromagnetic nanowire arrays using vector-network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR) and analyzed the results with the micromagnetic simulations. We find excellent agreement between the experimental VNA-FMR spectra and micromagnetic simulations result for various applied magnetic fields. We find that the demagnetization factor for longitudinal conditions, Nz (Ny) increases (decreases) as decreasing the nanowire width in the micromagnetic simulations. For the transverse magnetic field, Nz (Ny) increases (decreases) as increasing the nanowire width. We also find that the Gilbert damping constant increases from 0.018 to 0.051 as the increasing nanowire width for the transverse case, while it is almost constant as 0.021 for the longitudinal case.

description: We have mapped the Orion-A Giant Molecular Cloud in the CO (J=4-3) line with the Tsukuba 30-cm submillimeter telescope.The map covered a 7.125 deg^2 area with a 9' resolution, including main components of the cloud such as Orion Nebula, OMC-2/3, and L1641-N. The most intense emission was detected toward the Orion KL region. The integrated intensity ratio between CO (J=4-3) and CO (J=1-0) was derived using data from the Columbia-Univ. de Chile CO survey, which was carried out with a comparable angular resolution. The ratio was r_{4-3/1-0} ~ 0.2 in the southern region of the cloud and 0.4-0.8 at star forming regions. We found a trend that the ratio shows higher value at edges of the cloud. In particular the ratio at the north-eastern edge of the cloud at (l, b) = (208.375 deg, -19.0 deg) shows the specific highest value of 1.1. The physical condition of the molecular gas in the cloud was estimated by non-LTE calculation. The result indicates that the kinetic temperature has a gradient from north (Tkin=80 K) to south (20 K). The estimation shows that the gas associated with the edge of the cloud is warm (Tkin~60 K), dense (n_{H_2}~10^4 cm^{-3}), and optically thin, which may be explained by heating and sweeping of interstellar materials from OB clusters.

description: We present a quantum algorithm for computing the Ramsey numbers whose computational complexity grows super-exponentially with the number of vertices of a graph on a classical computer. The problem is mapped to a decision problem on a quantum computer, a probe qubit is coupled to a register that represents the problem and detects the energy levels of the problem Hamiltonian. The decision problem is solved by determining whether the probe qubit exhibits resonance dynamics. The algorithm shows a quadratic speedup over its classical counterparts, and the degenerate ground state problem in the adiabatic quantum evolution algorithm for this problem is avoided.

description: We study the prediction of solar flare size and time-to-flare using 38 features describing magnetic complexity of the photospheric magnetic field. This work uses support vector regression to formulate a mapping from the 38-dimensional feature space to a continuous-valued label vector representing flare size or time-to-flare. When we consider flaring regions only, we find an average error in estimating flare size of approximately half a \emph{geostationary operational environmental satellite} (\emph{GOES}) class. When we additionally consider non-flaring regions, we find an increased average error of approximately 3/4 a \emph{GOES} class. We also consider thresholding the regressed flare size for the experiment containing both flaring and non-flaring regions and find a true positive rate of 0.69 and a true negative rate of 0.86 for flare prediction. The results for both of these size regression experiments are consistent across a wide range of predictive time windows, indicating that the magnetic complexity features may be persistent in appearance long before flare activity. This is supported by our larger error rates of some 40 hr in the time-to-flare regression problem. The 38 magnetic complexity features considered here appear to have discriminative potential for flare size, but their persistence in time makes them less discriminative for the time-to-flare problem.

description: This article examines the determinants of home ownership among young people in China. More specifically, it aims to shed light on the shifting importance of the state (through ‘redistributive power’) and the ability of young people to compete in housing markets (‘market ability’) after more than three decades of market transition. Through an analysis of data from the China General Social Survey, the paper quantifies the impacts of four types of determinant on young people’s access to homeownership: political affiliation, organizational affiliation, territorial affiliation, and market ability. Results show that a redistributive power (through territorial, political and organizational affiliation) still influences access to housing, mainly in the form of territorial affiliation (hukou registration). Higher market ability does not contribute to homeownership but is related to independent living. The paper points to three housing policy priorities to improve young people’s housing opportunities: reduce inequalities resulting from unequal access to homeownership, improve options for young migrants, and improve conditions in the rented sector.

Redistribution, Growth, and Inclusion: The Development of the Urban Housing System in P. R. China, 1949-2015

description: This paper explains the development of the urban housing system in P. R. China from 1949 to 2011 with an emphasis on the factors driving housing inequality in each policy period. We argue that the logic underpinning the housing policy had shifted from socialist redistribution to the stimulation of growth in the process of market economy reform and has been shifting toward social inclusionary growth since the 2010s. Over the course of time, two institutional factors (work units and household registration/hukou) have played a key role in determining individual households’ housing opportunities. The role of the work units has gradually waned since the 2000s, but the hukou system continues to be important. In the last part of the paper, we set forth the latest changes in Chinese housing policy. Since 2011, the central government has been striving toward a more comprehensive system of housing provision with the aim of making the housing market more inclusive (though not necessarily more equal). Finally, we express concern about an emerging though embedded source of housing inequality: the unequal distribution of family wealth.

description: Artificial lighting in office and school buildings is a major and conspicuous consumer of electricial energy. In addition, air conditioning consumes energy and may be required to remove the heat generated by lamps. Energy consumption is measured as the product of power input ( kilowatts) and the period of use (hours). To reduce it both input and hours of use must be controlled. Power input may be reduced by lowering general illumination levels, adopting selective lighting standards, and replacing inefficient sources. Hours of use can be reduced through sensible switching arrangements and automatic light control that takes advantage of available daylight and space occupancy.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to tackle the existing gap on message translations in dialogue systems. Currently, submitted messages to the dialogue systems are considered as isolated sentences. Thus, missing context information impede the disambiguation of homographs words in ambiguous sentences. Our approach solves this disambiguation problem by using concepts over existing ontologies.

description: We investigate the two-dimensional four-color Ashkin-Teller model by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the first-order phase transition of the clean system is destroyed by random disorder introduced via site dilution. The critical behavior of the emerging continuous transition belongs to the clean two-dimensional Ising universality class, apart from logarithmic corrections. These results confirm perturbative renormalization-group predictions; they also agree with recent findings for the three-color case, indicating that the critical behavior is universal.

description: This thesis examined the housing opportunities of young Chinese adults (roughly 25 to 40 years of age) in post-reform China. The aim was to understand how these opportunities are related to the institutional changes that took place during the reform. In that respect, ample attention was paid to the complex and mutual connections between the welfare system, the housing system (particularly home ownership), and the kinship system. One chapter was devoted to a policy review and three to the empirical investigation. With this thesis, I hoped to help fill two gaps in the literature: 1 The lack of attention to the housing opportunities of young Chinese urban residents (across all backgrounds) in the post-reform context; 2 The lack of understanding of the mechanism of intergenerational transfer in young people’s housing opportunities in the post-reform Chinese context.
