Gravitational Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Creators: name: Moffat, J. W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The spontaneous violation of Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance in a phase near the big bang lowers the entropy, allowing for an arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics. The spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to $O(3,1)\rightarrow O(3)\times R$, where $O(3)$ is the rotational symmetry of the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker spacetime. The Weyl curvature tensor $C_{μνρσ}$ vanishes in the FLRW spacetime satisfying the Penrose zero Weyl curvature conjecture. The requirement of a measure of gravitational entropy is discussed. The vacuum expectation value $\langle 0\vertψ_μ\vert 0\rangle\neq 0$ for a vector field $ψ_μ$ acts as an order parameter and at the critical temperature $T_c$ a phase transition occurs breaking the Lorentz symmetry spontaneously. During the ordered $O(3)$ symmetry phase the entropy is vanishingly small and for $T < T_c$ as the universe expands the anti-restored $O(3,1)$ Lorentz symmetry leads to a disordered phase and a large increase in entropy creating the arrow of time.

description: Hydroxyapatite-gelatin modified siloxane (GEMOSIL) nanocomposite was developed by coating, kneading and hardening processes to provide formable scaffolding for alloplastic graft applications. The present study aims to characterize scaffolding formability and mechanical properties of GEMOSIL, and to test the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of GEMOSIL. Buffer Solution initiated formable paste followed by the sol-gel reaction led to a final hardened composite. Results showed the adequate coating of aminosilane, 11–19 wt%, affected the cohesiveness of the powders and the final compressive strength (69 MPa) of the composite. TGA and TEM results showed the effective aminosilane coating that preserves hydroxyapatite-gelatin nanocrystals from damage. Both GEMOSIL with and without titania increased the mineralization of preosteoblasts in vitro. Only did titania additives revealed good in vivo bone formation in rat calvarium defects. The scaffolding formability, due to cohesive bonding among GEMOSIL particles, could be further refined to fulfill the complicated scaffold processes.

Transport properties of drug precursor molecules in nanoporous polymers

description: This PhD thesis is framed in the European project CUSTOM, which aims to develop a small size device able to detect drug precursors molecules in the air, even when they are just in traces. The project is part of the European strategies to fight the illegal drug trafficking, that is a serious problem experienced in all countries worldwide. Recently, in fact, drug traffickers smuggle drug precursor molecules, that is molecules that are converted into the final product through chemical processes, once arrived in the country of destination. For this reason many efforts are making to detect the presence of precursors in very low concentrations using dedicated sensors. The low concentration of these kind of molecules requires that the sampling techniques concentrate as much as possible the target analytes. For this purpose, syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS), a cheap and commercial thermoplastic polymer, can be a good choice: it can be achieved in highly porous crystalline morphologies (aerogels) able to maximize molecules sorption and desorption kinetics thanks to their high surface area1. High-porosity sPS aerogels can be obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction of the solvent present in sPS physical gels (gels in which the junctions between polymer chains consist of crystalline regions). Furthermore, sPS crystalline aerogels can be achieved in two different nanoporous crystal forms, delta (δ) and epsilon (ε). These two phases present well-defined empty spaces distribute into the crystal lattice as cavities (δ form) or channels (ε form). Both these two crystalline forms are able to rapidly absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mainly halogenated or aromatic hydrocarbons, from water and air also when present at very low concentrations2. This polymer, combined with a suitable detection system for these precursor molecules, could be a winning choice for the purposes of the CUSTOM project. Within the project, our tasks and objectives are to evaluate the capacity and the effectiveness of the polymer to absorb some target drug precursors, to validate the air sampling module which will be implemented in the device and, finally, to establish if and how the presence of some common pollutants in the air could affect the sorption of the selected precursors.

description: Although accurate details in RNA structure are of great importance for understanding RNA function, the backbone conformation is difficult to determine, and most existing RNA structures show serious steric clashes (≥ 0.4Å overlap) when hydrogen atoms are taken into account. We have developed a program called RNABC (RNA Backbone Correction) that performs local perturbations to search for alternative conformations that avoid those steric clashes or other local geometry problems. Its input is an all-atom coordinate file for an RNA crystal structure (usually from the MolProbity web service), with problem areas specified. RNABC rebuilds a suite (the unit from sugar to sugar) by anchoring the phosphorus and base positions, which are clearest in crystallographic electron density, and reconstructing the other atoms using forward kinematics. Geometric parameters are constrained within user-specified tolerance of canonical or original values, and torsion angles are constrained to ranges defined through empirical database analyses. Several optimizations reduce the time required to search the many possible conformations. The output results are clustered and presented to the user, who can choose whether to accept one of the alternative conformations.

description: The Isabelle proof assistant comes equipped with a very powerful tactic for term simplification. While tremendously useful, the results of simplifying a term do not always match the user's expectation: sometimes, the resulting term is not in the form the user expected, or the simplifier fails to apply a rule. We describe a new, interactive tracing facility which offers insight into the hierarchical structure of the simplification with user-defined filtering, memoization and search. The new simplifier trace is integrated into the Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE.

description: Presented at the 9th International Physical Internet Conference (IPIC 2023) 13-15 June 2023, Athens, Greece
description: Data sharing is key to realizing the Physical Internet (PI) as its roadmap illustrates. Examples are for full visibility of nodes and their business services, adjustment and assignment of routing to reduce empty miles, and protocols and services for operational efficiency of logistics networks. These examples and many more existing ones are use cases for a PI Data Sharing Infrastructure that can support current and future data sharing requirements. One aspect of the PI is its organizational structure as a network, where logistics is a common resource used dynamically. These imply that any data sharing infrastructure must be open, flexible, and extendible for innovative use cases. Semantics and data sharing functionality is the core for such an infrastructure. By applying semantic web standard and – technology, the objectives can be reached, and a large variety of use cases can be supported. A set of agreements, or protocol stack, is proposed including an approach for governance.
A Note on Algebraic Solutions to Identification

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Algebraic methods to establish the identification of structural equation models remains a viable option. However, sometimes it is unclear whether the algebraic solution establishes identification. One example is when there is more than one way to solve for the parameter, but one way leads to a single value and a second way leads to a function with more than one value. This note proves that one explicit and unique solution is sufficient for model identification even when other explicit solutions permit more than one solution. The results are illustrated with an example. The results are useful to attempts to use algebraic means to address model identification.

description: More than 25 years into the HIV epidemic, in excess of 2 million new infections continue to occur each year. HIV prevention research is crucial for groups at heightened risk for HIV, but the design and conduct of HIV prevention research with vulnerable populations worldwide raises considerable ethical challenges. The HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) is a global collaborative network that conducts clinical and behavioural studies on non-vaccine interventions to reduce the transmission of HIV. In 2003, the HPTN developed ethical guidance to enhance the responsible conduct of its research activities and as a distinctive contribution to global research ethics. In what follows, the developments that motivated the drafting of a revised ethics document in 2009 are described, including the process by which that revision took place and some of the key differences between the HPTN ethics guidance and other relevant guidelines in the field.

description: Typically, the agroecosystem is known as the basic unit of study of the agroecology. However, no consensus exists regarding its definition, which is reflected by the early state of agroecology as a science. This fact was illustrated after an exhaustive analytical review of the different agroecosystem definitions proposed and currently used in the literature. We reviewed 157 articles and other key scientific literature and found seven different concepts. It is necessary to advance in unification of the terminology to bridge the gaps among agroecology, agricultural sciences, and other disciplines that enable progress toward sustainable agriculture. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to propose a discussion about the need to have a semantic and operational concept of agroecosystem. Agroecosystem is a synthesis, product of the culture – nature interaction, it is regarded as a homogeneous natural unit, where an agrotechnological management system (AMS) is introduced according to farmer needs. Therefore, the agroecosystem is a holistic, irreducible, and particular basic unit of agroecology and the agricultural sciences, which integrates production processes and attributes for a sustainable agriculture.

A Consensus Protocol under Directed Communications with Two Time Delays and Delay Scheduling

description: This paper studies a consensus protocol over a group of agents driven by second order dynamics. The communication among members of the group is assumed to be directed and affected by two rationally independent time delays, one in the position and the other in the velocity information channels. These delays are unknown but considered to be constant and uniform throughout the system. The stability of the consensus protocol is studied using a simplifying factorization procedure and deploying the Cluster Treatment of Characteristic Roots (CTCR) paradigm. This effort results in a unique depiction of the exact stability boundaries in the domain of the delays. CTCR requires the knowledge of the potential stability switching loci exhaustively within this domain. The creation of these loci is an important contribution of this work. It is done in a new surrogate coordinate system, called the \emph{Spectral Delay Space (SDS)}. The relative stability, i.e., the speed to reach consensus of the system is also investigated for this class of systems. Based on the outcome of this effort, a paradoxical control design concept is introduced. It is called the \emph{Delay Scheduling}, which is another key contribution of this paper. It reveals that the performance of the system may be improved by increasing the delays. The amount of increase, however, is only revealed by the CTCR. Example case studies are presented to verify the underlying analytical derivations.

In this Letter we explain how spin supercurrents couple spatially remote spin-mixing vertical transport channels, even when easy-plane anisotropy is imperfect, and discuss the possibility that this effect can be used to fabricate new types of electronic devices.

description: Knowledge of the crustal stress state is important for the assessment of subsurface stability. In particular, stress magnitudes are essential for the calibration of geomechanical models that estimate a continuous description of the 3-D stress field from pointwise and incomplete stress data. Well established is the World Stress Map Project, a global and publicly available database for stress orientations, but for stress magnitude data only local data collections are available. Herein, we present the first comprehensive and open-access stress magnitude database for Germany and adjacent regions, consisting of 568 data records. In addition, we introduce a quality ranking scheme for stress magnitude data for the first time.

description: We present three patients with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome with small cytogenetic deletions of 4p16. One case is a de novo translocation and two cases represent de novo deletions. Using molecular techniques we determined the extent of these deletions and attempted to ascertain parental origin. Case 1 had a deletion of 4p16.3 with a breakpoint proximal to D4S10, case 2 had a larger deletion including D4S62 in 4p16.2, and case 3 had the largest deletion which included D4S240, but not the Raf2 locus in 4p16.1. The parental origin of the deletion in case 3 was paternal; the other two cases were indeterminable. Our results show that these three deletions include the currently proposed Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region within the most distal 2 Mb of 4p16.3 and offer supportive evidence for continuous terminal deletions.

description: Migration-driven diversity in Germany is growing. When discussing how to target a culturally diverse society that embraces immigration, both political leaders and representatives of civil society in Germany turn their attention to Canada. Dialogue and exchange between both nations offer an occasion to strengthen the partnership between these two democracies and mold diversity for the collective betterment of society. This policy brief begins with a concise overview of immigration in Canada, in both its historical and contemporary contexts. It then highlights certain aspects of Canadian integration policy, exploring them deeper with illustrative examples. Following this, it addresses the present challenges within Canada’s multicultural society. Finally, drawing insights from Canada’s experience, it presents viewpoints that can offer guidance for integration policy in Germany.

Development of new in vitro models based on the use of electrospun scaffolds and their imaging by multiphoton microscopy coupled with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

description: 2016 - 2017
description: In this thesis, new possible applications of electrospun scaffolds are presented. Besides, the interaction of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) with the materials has been investigated using multiphoton microscopy (MPM) coupled with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), using a non-invasive, marker-free approach. In the first part of the thesis, pure poly-L-lactide (PLA) scaffolds were obtained and characterized as delivery systems for Diclofenac sodium salt (DCF) and a synthetically obtained prodrug of it for the treatment of actinic keratosis. The Diclofenac prodrug was obtained via solid phase peptide synthesis using a versatile, clean, high yielding procedure. Besides, the drug encapsulation and its release from the scaffold could be imaged using MPM. Moreover, when working with the unmodified DCF we were able to control the release profile by adding small amounts of dimethyl sulfoxide. The DCF-loaded scaffold was used as a delivery system to induce in vitro cell death in HDFs. The target cells were imaged using MPM coupled with FLIM, using a non-invasive, marker-free in vitro model to investigate drug effects. In the last part of the thesis, we produced and characterized different hybrid gelatin/PLA scaffolds. In this case, the goal was to obtain well-blended scaffolds with tunable properties, such as porosity, hydrophobicity and wettability. .. [edited by Author]

description: $\mathcal{I}$-non-degenerate spaces are spacetimes that can be characterized uniquely by their scalar curvature invariants. The ultimate goal of the current work is to construct a basis for the scalar polynomial curvature invariants in three dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes. In particular, we seek a minimal set of algebraically independent scalar curvature invariants formed by the contraction of the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives up to fifth order of differentiation. We use the computer software \emph{Invar} to calculate an overdetermined basis of scalar curvature invariants in three dimensions. We also discuss the equivalence method and the Karlhede algorithm for computing Cartan invariants in three dimensions.

A novel splice site mutation in a Becker muscular dystrophy patient.

description: A Becker muscular dystrophy patient was found to have a single base substitution at the 5' end of intron 54. This single base substitution disrupts the invariant GT dinucleotide within the 5' donor splice site and was shown to cause an out of frame deletion of exon 54 during mRNA processing. This is predicted to produce a truncated dystrophin protein which is more consistent with a DMD phenotype. However, small quantities of normal mRNA are also transcribed and these are sufficient to produce a reduced amount of normal molecular weight dystrophin and give rise to a milder BMD phenotype. This indicates that a single base substitution at an invariant dinucleotide of the splice site consensus sequence may still allow read through of the message and allow the production of some normal protein. This shows that there are a greater number of possible intronic mutations that can lead to a mild phenotype and it also underlines the importance of performing cDNA analysis when screening for small gene alterations in the BMD patient population.
