description: The design of a HTS SMES coil with solenoidal and toroidal geometry is carried out based on a commercially available 2G HTS conductor. A SMES system of practical interest (1 MW / 5 s) is considered. The comparison between ideal toroidal and solenoidal geometry is first discussed and the criteria used for choosing the geometrical parameters of the coils' bore are explained. The design of the real coil is then carried out and the final amount of conductor needed is compared. A preliminary comparison of the two coils in terms of AC loss during one charge discharge cycle is also discussed.
The Ca II triplet in red giant spectra: [Fe/H] determinations and the role of [Ca/Fe]
Creators: name: Da Costa, G. S.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Measurements are presented and analyzed of the strength of the Ca II triplet lines in red giants in Galactic globular and open clusters, and in a sample of red giants in the LMC disk that have significantly different [Ca/Fe] abundance ratios to the Galactic objects. The Galactic objects are used to generate a calibration between Ca II triplet line strength and [Fe/H], which is then used to estimate [Fe/H]_CaT for the LMC stars. The values are then compared with the [Fe/H]_spec determinations from high dispersion spectroscopy. After allowance for a small systematic offset the two abundance determinations are in excellent agreement. Further, as found in earlier studies, e.g., Battaglia et al. (2008), the difference is only a very weak function of the [Ca/Fe] ratio. For example, changing [Ca/Fe] from +0.3 to -0.2 causes the Ca II based abundance to underestimate [Fe/H]_spec by only ~0.15 dex, assuming a Galactic calibration. Consequently, the Ca II triplet approach to metallicity determinations can be used without significant bias to study stellar systems that have substantially different chemical evolution histories.

description: Helium burning in the convective cores of horizontal branch and `red clump' stars appears to involve a process of `ingestion' of unburnt helium into the core, the physics of which has not been identified yet. I show here that a limiting factor controlling the growth is the buoyancy of helium entering the denser C+O core. It yields a growth rate which scales directly with the convective luminosity of the core, and agrees with constraints on core size from current asteroseismology.

description: Background: Soils are important carbon (C) sinks or sources and thus of utmost importance for global carbon cycling. Particularly, subsoils are considered to have a high potential for additional C storage due to mineral surfaces still available for sorptive stabilization. Aims: Little information exists about the extent to which additional litter-derived C is transferred to and stabilized in subsoils. This study aimed at evaluating the role of litter-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) inputs for the formation of stable mineral-associated C in subsoils. Methods: We carried out a multiple-method approach including field labeling with 13C-enriched litter, exposure of 13C-loaded reactive minerals to top- and subsoils, and laboratory sorption experiments. Results: For temperate forest soils, we found that the laboratory-based C sink capacity of subsoils is unlikely to be reached under field conditions. Surface C inputs via litter leachates are little conducive to the subsoil C pool. Only 0.5% of litter-derived C entered the subsoil as DOM within nearly 2 years and most of the recently sorbed C is prone to fast microbial mineralization rather than long-term mineral retention. Desorption to the soil solution and an adapted microbial community re-mobilize organic matter in subsoils faster than considered so far. Conclusions: We conclude that the factors controlling the current mineral retention and stabilization of C within temperate forest subsoils will likewise limit additional C uptake. Thus, in contrast to their widely debated potential to accrue more C, the role of forest subsoils as future C sink is likely overestimated and needs further reconsideration.
High ozone events and attainment demonstrations in Houston, Texas
Creators: name: Couzo, Evan Andrew
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

description: The Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area has had multiple decades of persistent high ozone (O3) values. We have analyzed ten years of ground-level measurements at 25 monitors in Houston and found that peak 1-h O3 concentrations were often associated with large hourly O3 increases. A non-typical O3 change (NTOC) - defined here as an increase of at least 40 ppb/hr or 60 ppb/2hrs - was measured 25% of the time when concentrations recorded at a monitor exceeded the 8-h O3 standard. CAMx model simulations were found to be limited in their ability to simulate NTOCs, under predicted maximum observed rates of O3 increases by more than 50 ppb/hr, and had difficulty simulating spatially isolated, high O3 events measured at monitors that routinely violate the 8-h O3 standard. Our results suggest that this modeling system will be unable to guide the selection of effective control strategies required to meet a more stringent federal 8-h O3 standard.

description: Abstract
The migration of economically and socially vulnerable Ethiopian men, women and children has become a mounting phenomenon. Although their dislodgment is usually disguised with labor migration, their vulnerable position makes them easy targets for traffickers. This study investigated the pre departure vulnerability contexts that render individuals to human trafficking in North Wollo, Ethiopia. Utilizing mixed research approach information was gathered from various groups of purposively selected informants: returnees, law enforcing agent, knowledgeable key informants and prosecuted local trafficker. In-depth interview, key informant interview, survey, FGDs and documentary review were used as the principal means of generating data. The study disclosed that women, youths, unemployed, early married, Muslim and those with low educational profile are found to be more vulnerable to human trafficking than their counter parts. The finding of the study also uncovered that, individuals are found highly pressured by poverty and various socio cultural forces; ever growing materialism, social pressure and better life syndrome, the culture of migration, peoples growing pessimism on conventional means of success like education, early marriage, gender discrimination and changing gender role; to consider migration as the only viable means of success which ultimately made them fall prey to traffickers.

The feasibility of a home based exercise intervention for Latina breast cancer survivors
Creators: name: Owen, Jean M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of the study was to examine the feasibility of administering a home based exercise intervention to post-treated Latina breast cancer survivors. A secondary purpose was to examine if a relationship exist between changes in physical activity (PA) levels and changes in depression, fatigue, and quality of life (QOL). Seven female Latina breast cancer survivors participated in the study. No significant change was found in overall PA (p=0.684) from baseline to the end of the study. A significant positive relationship between overall PA changes and changes in QOL scores (rho(7) = 0.870; p = 0.024), and a marginally significant inverse relationship between PA and depression (rho(7) = -0.709; p=0.074) was observed. Even though the exercise intervention appeared to not have increased overall PA, the relationships observed between PA and QOL, and the trend toward decreasing depression warrants further research.

description: Metal working fluids are used in machining processes of many hard-to-cut materials to increase tool life and productivity. Thereby, the metal working fluids act on the thermal and on the mechanical loads of the tool. The changing mechanical loads can mostly be attributed to the changing friction between rake face and chip and changes in the chip formation, e.g., the contact length between rake face and chip. However, analyzing those effects is challenging, since a detailed look at the chip formation process is prevented by the metal working fluid. In this paper, a novel planing test rig is presented, which enables high-speed recordings of the machining process and process force measurements while using metal working fluids. Experiments reveal that process forces are reduced with increasing pressure of the metal working fluid. However, the average friction coefficient only changes slightly, which indicates that the reduced process forces are mainly the result of reduced contact lengths between rake face and chip.

How to Help Female Victims of Domestic Violence? A Dialogue Between Scientific, Professional and Political Expert to Build Networks of Support
Creators: name: Piga, Maria Lucia

Year: 2018
Subjects: gender-based violence; sector skill alliance; professional expertise

description: How and through which instruments can social policies prevent domestic violence? Three of these instruments are, in our point of view: 1) the professional competence of the social workers and caregivers in protecting and preventing; 2) a shared gender-sensitive methodology, to help victims of domestic violence; 3) and the dialogue (necessary but not yet realized) among scientific, professional and political experts.
Competent help is the pivot around which prevention strategies can be developed, to support networks of solidarity with victims. The building of networks is conclusive in overcoming the lack of social capital, above all in situations characterized by the fragility of social ties.
Furthermore, the sector skill alliance could represent an innovation in the field of interventions to prevent the phenomenon of domestic violence and to build a more radical culture of non-violence in interpersonal relationships. In that way it will be possible a common vision on gender-based violence in diverse disciplinary fields: medicine, sociology, psychology, human rights, social services, criminology, social pedagogy and, at the same time, outline social policies that lead to effective solutions.

description: TMB is an open source R package that enables quick implementation of complex nonlinear random effect (latent variable) models in a manner similar to the established AD Model Builder package (ADMB, admb-project.org). In addition, it offers easy access to parallel computations. The user defines the joint likelihood for the data and the random effects as a C++ template function, while all the other operations are done in R; e.g., reading in the data. The package evaluates and maximizes the Laplace approximation of the marginal likelihood where the random effects are automatically integrated out. This approximation, and its derivatives, are obtained using automatic differentiation (up to order three) of the joint likelihood. The computations are designed to be fast for problems with many random effects (~10^6) and parameters (~10^3). Computation times using ADMB and TMB are compared on a suite of examples ranging from simple models to large spatial models where the random effects are a Gaussian random field. Speedups ranging from 1.5 to about 100 are obtained with increasing gains for large problems. The package and examples are available at http://tmb-project.org.

description: Often described as seventy-two suburbs in search of a city, the urban topography of Los Angeles has become synonymous with its automobile-based infrastructure. When Los Angeles's MAK Center for Art and Architecture commissioned a public project, the city's notorious urban terrain was an integral component, one that invited artists to find and "produce" the city by navigating its streets. Titled How Many Billboards? Art In Stead, the exhibition consisted of twenty-one billboards displayed on major public roadways throughout the city, thereby implicating commuters as exhibition's audience. Focusing on four billboards by Christina Fernandez, Kira Lynn Harris, Brandon Lattu and Allen Ruppersberg, this thesis argues that the exhibition invites a consideration of the rich cultural tapestry of the city. This thesis, moreover, will examine both the imagery and the placement of billboards to see how they produced Los Angeles as a new space, one that defied boundaries through residents' movements.

description: The electronic properties of co-evaporated mixtures (blends) of manganese phthalocyanine and the fullerene C$_{60}$ (MnPc:C$_{60}$) have been studied as a function of the concentration of the two constituents using two supplementary electron spectroscopic methods, photoemission spectroscopy (PES) as well as electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in transmission. Our PES measurements provide a detailed picture of the electronic structure measured with different excitation energies as well as different mixing ratios between MnPc and C$_{60}$. Besides a relative energy shift, the occupied electronic states of the two materials remain essentially unchanged. The observed energy level alignment is different compared to that of the related CuPc:C$_{60}$ bulk heterojunction. Moreover, the results from our EELS investigations show that despite of the rather small interface interaction the MnPc related electronic excitation spectrum changes significantly by admixing C$_{60}$ to MnPc thin films.

description: We describe the design and 3D sensing performance of an omnidirectional stereo-vision system (omnistereo) as applied to Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). The proposed omnistereo model employs a monocular camera that is co-axially aligned with a pair of hyperboloidal mirrors (folded catadioptric configuration). We show that this arrangement is practical for performing stereo-vision when mounted on top of propeller-based MAVs characterized by low payloads. The theoretical single viewpoint (SVP) constraint helps us derive analytical solutions for the sensor's projective geometry and generate SVP-compliant panoramic images to compute 3D information from stereo correspondences (in a truly synchronous fashion). We perform an extensive analysis on various system characteristics such as its size, catadioptric spatial resolution, field-of-view. In addition, we pose a probabilistic model for uncertainty estimation of the depth from triangulation for skew back-projection rays. We expect to motivate the reproducibility of our solution since it can be adapted (optimally) to other catadioptric-based omnistereo vision applications.

description: Our electroweak vacuum may be metastable in light of the current experimental data of the Higgs/top quark mass. If this is really the case, high-scale inflation models require a stabilization mechanism of our vacuum during inflation. A possible candidate is the Higgs-inflaton/-curvature coupling because it induces an additional mass term to the Higgs during the slow roll regime. However, after the inflation, the additional mass term oscillates, and it can potentially destabilize our electroweak vacuum via production of large Higgs fluctuations during the inflaton oscillation era. In this paper, we study whether or not the Higgs-inflaton/-curvature coupling can save our vacuum by properly taking account of Higgs production during the preheating stage. We put upper bounds on the Higgs-inflaton/-curvature coupling, and discuss possible dynamics that might relax them.

description: Electrical motors and/or hydraulics and pneumatics cylinders are commonly used methods of actuation in mechanical systems. Over the last two decades, due to arising market needs, novel self-independent mobile systems such as mobility assistive devices have emerged with the help of new advancements in technology. The actuation criteria for these devices differ greatly from typical mechanical systems, which has made the implementation of classical actuators difficult within modern assistive devices. Among the numerous challenges, limited energy storage capabilities by mobile systems have restricted their achievable operational time. Furthermore, new expectations for device weight and volume, as well as actuator structural compliance, have added to this quandary. Electroactive polymers, a category of smart materials, have emerged as a strong contender for the use in low-cost efficient actuators. They have demonstrated great potential in soft robotic and assistive device/prosthetic applications due to their actuation potential and similar mechanical behaviour to human skeletal muscles. Dielectric Elastomers, in particular, have shown very promising properties for these types of applications. Their structures have shown large achievable deformation, while remaining light-weight, mechanically efficient, and low-cost. This thesis aims to characterize, and model the behaviour of 3MTM VHB polyacrylic dielectric elastomer, in order to establish a foundation for its implementation in a proposed novel linear actuator concept. In this thesis, a comprehensive experimental evaluation is accomplished, which resulted in the better understanding of the elastomer’s biaxial mechanical and electro-mechanically coupled behaviours. Subsequently, a constitutive biaxial mechanical model was derived in order to provide a predictive design equation for future actuator development. This model proved effective in providing a predictive tool for the biaxial mechanical tensile response of the material. Finally, a simplified prototype was devised as a proof of concept. This first iteration applied experimental findings to validate the working principles behind the proposed actuator design. The results confirmed the proof of concept, through achieved reciprocal linear motion, and provided insight into the design considerations for prototype optimization and final actuator development.

description: Agencies that provide services to individuals with coexisting mental health and substance abuse disorders (dual diagnosis) require guidance to understand their capability for comprehensively implementing integrated care to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. The Dual Diagnosis Capability of Addiction Treatment (DDCAT) index was created by researchers with funding from SAMHSA to address this need. The project was completed in a community-based outpatient behavioral center. It aimed to use the DDCAT index to evaluate a community-based agency that provides substance abuse and mental health services to determine its capability of providing integrated care to the clients who are dually-diagnosed. The project identified areas where the agency was well equipped to serve these clients, and determined where programmatic improvement was needed. Methods used for collecting data included observation, interviews and review of documents. The investigator found that clinical process: treatment and continuity of care were the DDCAT domains that required the most improvement for endorsement for dual diagnosis capability, while staff training and program structure was the lowest priority. Overall the staff acknowledged the usefulness of the evaluation. The staff was confident that they could follow the DDCAT index recommendations and improve their scores. The study concluded that the DDCAT index is a valuable tool to use to guide agencies to understand their capability for integrated care to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Mental health and addiction treatment programs can enhance dual diagnosis capable services by implementing recommendations using the DDCAT index.

description: Graphene is an attractive electrode material to contact nanostructures down to the molecular scale since it can be gated electrostatically. Gating can be used to control the doping and the energy level alignment in the nanojunction, thereby influencing its conductance. Here we investigate the impact of electrostatic gating in nanojunctions between graphene electrodes operating at finite bias. Using first principles quantum transport simulations, we show that the voltage drop across \emph{symmetric} junctions changes dramatically and controllably in gated systems compared to non-gated junctions. In particular, for \emph{p}-type(\emph{n}-type) carriers the voltage drop is located close to the electrode with positive(negative) polarity, i.e. the potential of the junction is pinned to the negative(positive) electrode. We trace this behaviour back to the vanishing density of states of graphene in the proximity of the Dirac point. Due to the electrostatic gating, each electrode exposes different density of states in the bias window between the two different electrode Fermi energies, thereby leading to a non-symmetry in the voltage drop across the device. This selective pinning is found to be independent of device length when carriers are induced either by the gate or dopant atoms, indicating a general effect for electronic circuitry based on graphene electrodes. We envision this could be used to control the spatial distribution of Joule heating in graphene nanostructures, and possibly the chemical reaction rate around high potential gradients.

Spectral semi-implicit and space-time discontinuous Galerkin methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on staggered Cartesian grids

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper two new families of arbitrary high order accurate spectral DG finite element methods are derived on staggered Cartesian grids for the solution of the inc.NS equations in two and three space dimensions. Pressure and velocity are expressed in the form of piecewise polynomials along different meshes. While the pressure is defined on the control volumes of the main grid, the velocity components are defined on a spatially staggered mesh. In the first family, h.o. of accuracy is achieved only in space, while a simple semi-implicit time discretization is derived for the pressure gradient in the momentum equation. The resulting linear system for the pressure is symmetric and positive definite and either block 5-diagonal (2D) or block 7-diagonal (3D) and can be solved very efficiently by means of a classical matrix-free conjugate gradient method. The use of a preconditioner was not necessary. This is a rather unique feature among existing implicit DG schemes for the NS equations. In order to avoid a stability restriction due to the viscous terms, the latter are discretized implicitly. The second family of staggered DG schemes achieves h.o. of accuracy also in time by expressing the numerical solution in terms of piecewise space-time polynomials. In order to circumvent the low order of accuracy of the adopted fractional stepping, a simple iterative Picard procedure is introduced. In this manner, the symmetry and positive definiteness of the pressure system are not compromised. The resulting algorithm is stable, computationally very efficient, and at the same time arbitrary h.o. accurate in both space and time. The new numerical method has been thoroughly validated for approximation polynomials of degree up to N=11, using a large set of non-trivial test problems in two and three space dimensions, for which either analytical, numerical or experimental reference solutions exist.

New particle formation in a realistic daytime urban atmosphere: SO2/NOx/O3/hydrocarbon air mixtures
Creators: name: Galloway, Katherine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The particle nucleation mechanism of binary mixtures of water and sulfuric acid is of recent interest to the scientific community. To observe sulfuric acid-water induced particle nucleation and growth in a more realistic controlled urban environment, a series of daytime experiments were conducted in the 270 m3 dual UNC Aerosol Smog Chamber with near-ambient levels of organics in the presence of other atmospheric aerosols and sulfur dioxide. Experimental and modeling results support the theory that stable nucleation and growth in the urban atmosphere are related to gas-phase sulfuric acid. The number of stable nuclei generated in the individual experiments may be approximated by an exponential fit of sulfuric acid and in some cases, toluene. If all the model generated sulfuric acid appears in the particle phase, sulfate would contribute 5 to 25% of the initial burst of the particles, depending on the concentrations of reacting species and the reaction time.

description: In a recent experiment on the Trident laser facility, a laser-driven beam of quasi-monoenergetic aluminum ions was used to heat solid gold and diamond foils isochorically to 5.5 eV and 1.7 eV, respectively. Here theoretical calculations are presented that suggest the gold and diamond were heated uniformly by these laser-driven ion beams. According to calculations and SESAME equation-of-state tables, laser-driven aluminum ion beams achievable on Trident, with a finite energy spread of (delta E)/E ~ 20%, are expected to heat the targets more uniformly than a beam of 140 MeV aluminum ions with zero energy spread. The robustness of the expected heating uniformity relative to the changes in the incident ion energy spectra is evaluated, and expected plasma temperatures of various target materials achievable with the current experimental platform are presented.

Satisfaction regarding the methods used to evaluate hotel performance
Creators: name: Machado, Maria Joao
name: Silva, Miguel Sampaio
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2018
Subjects: performance evaluation methods; hotel features; satisfaction

description: This study has four specific objectives: to analyse the association between hotel features and the methods used to evaluate hotel performance; to analyse the convergence between what the theory considers as appropriate performance evaluation methods, and the opinion of the hotels’ financial managers; to identify the factors that explain why the same method is considered appropriate in some hotels and not in others; to analyse whether there is an association between the method used to evaluate hotel performance and customer satisfaction. Data collection was made using two sequential methods. Firstly, we conducted a survey directed at the financial managers of 3, 4 and 5-star hotels located in Portugal, where we obtained 189 completed surveys. Secondly, we collected information regarding the degree of customer satisfaction for the hotels responding to the initial survey using the information available on the online platform Tripadvisor.com. The results obtained allow us to indicate as main contributions the following: validation of the expectations confirmation paradigm as an adequate theoretical model to explain customer satisfaction in hotels, namely showing that the performance evaluation methods can be regarded as factors affecting the actual customer experience; to demonstrate that the satisfaction indicator room is what contributes the most to the level of overall customer satisfaction; to demonstrate the existing convergence between what the theory considers as appropriate performance evaluation methods, and the opinion of the hotels’ financial managers, unlike what was previously reported in other industries.

description: Soft tissue connections between neck muscles and duramater are known as myodural bridges. Since there is confusing information and general ignorance about it, we performed a systematic review about anatomical studies which describe it. Thus, 26 studies were obtained. It was demonstrated that this myodural bridge exists for several neck muscles, with different levels of evidence. To assess the quality of the studies, 2 researchers independently performed the assessment, and a third researcher resolved disagreements. This information in presented.

description: Internet and online-based social systems are rising as the dominant mode of communication in society. However, the public or semi-private environment under which most online communications operate under do not make them suitable channels for speaking with others about personal or emotional problems. This has led to the emergence of online platforms for emotional support offering free, anonymous, and confidential conversations with live listeners. Yet very little is known about the way these platforms are utilized, and if their features and design foster strong user engagement. This paper explores the utilization and the interaction features of hundreds of thousands of users on 7 Cups of Tea, a leading online platform offering online emotional support. It dissects the level of activity of hundreds of thousands of users, the patterns by which they engage in conversation with each other, and uses machine learning methods to find factors promoting engagement. The study may be the first to measure activities and interactions in a large-scale online social system that fosters peer-to-peer emotional support.

description: Phylodynamics seeks to estimate effective population size fluctuations from molecular sequences of individuals sampled from a population of interest. One way to accomplish this task formulates an observed sequence data likelihood exploiting a coalescent model for the sampled individuals' genealogy and then integrating over all possible genealogies via Monte Carlo or, less efficiently, by conditioning on one genealogy estimated from the sequence data. However, when analyzing sequences sampled serially through time, current methods implicitly assume either that sampling times are fixed deterministically by the data collection protocol or that their distribution does not depend on the size of the population. Through simulation, we first show that, when sampling times do probabilistically depend on effective population size, estimation methods may be systematically biased. To correct for this deficiency, we propose a new model that explicitly accounts for preferential sampling by modeling the sampling times as an inhomogeneous Poisson process dependent on effective population size. We demonstrate that in the presence of preferential sampling our new model not only reduces bias, but also improves estimation precision. Finally, we compare the performance of the currently used phylodynamic methods with our proposed model through clinically-relevant, seasonal human influenza examples.

description: The direct detection of continuous gravitational waves from pulsars is a much anticipated discovery in the emerging field of multimessenger gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. Because putative pulsar signals are exceedingly weak large amounts of data need to be integrated to achieve desired sensitivity. Contemporary searches use ingenious ad hoc methods to reduce computational complexity. In this paper we provide analytical expressions for the Fourier transform of realistic pulsar signals. This provides description of the manifold of pulsar signals in the Fourier domain, used by many search methods. We analyze the shape of the Fourier transform and provide explicit formulas for location and size of peaks resulting from stationary frequencies. We apply our formulas to analysis of recently identified outlier at 1891.76 Hz.
Regulation and functional impact of lipopolysaccharide induced Nod2 gene expression in the murine epididymal epithelial cell line PC1
Creators: name: Cheely, Adam Webster

description: In this study we investigated the regulation and function of Nod2 in the immortalized epididymal epithelial cell line PC1 (proximal caput 1) following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. PC1 cells constitutively expressed Toll-like receptor 4, MD-2, CD-14 but not Nod2 messenger RNA. Lipopolysaccharide rapidly induced IkappaB phosphorylation and degradation, RelA nuclear translocation and phosphorylation, which correlated with enhanced transcriptional activity. The LPS and lipid A rapidly induced Nod2 messenger RNA accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. RelA and RNApolII recruitment to the Nod2 gene promoter was enhanced in LPS-stimulated PC1 cells. Molecular blockade of nuclear factor-kappaB signaling with adenovirus 5 (Ad5) IkappaBAA or adenovirus 5 dominant-negative (Ad5dn) IKKbeta prevented LPS-induced Nod2 gene expression. Nod2 upregulation enhanced muramyl dipeptide (MDP) -induced tumor necrosis factor messenger RNA accumulation. We conclude that epididymal epithelial cells mount an innate response following LPS exposure which leads to upregulation of Nod2 and enhanced responsiveness to the microbial product MDP.

description: The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is designed for high energy gamma ray and cosmic ray detection. A Water Cherenkov Detector Array which is sensitive to gamma ray showers above a few hundred GeV is proposed to survey gamma ray sources. The WCDA consists of 3600 PhotoMultiplier Tubes (PMT) which collect the Cherenkov light produced by the shower particles in water. Both high precision time and charge measurement are required over a large dynamic range from 1 photo electron (P.E.) to 4000 P.E. Prototype of an analogue front-end Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) fabricated in Chartered 0.35 μm CMOS technology is designed to read out PMT signal in the WCDA. This ASIC employs leading edge discrimination and RC4 shaping structure; combined with the following Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) and Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), both the arrival time and charge of the PMT signal can be measured. Initial test results indicate that time resolution is better than 350 ps and charge resolution is better than 10% at 1 P.E. and better than 1% with large input signals (300 P.E. to 4000 P.E.). Besides, this ASIC has a small channel-to-channel crosstalk and low ambient temperature dependency.
