Riletture, rifigurazioni e sopravvivenza del living dead. Dal cinema alle narrazioni crossmediali
Creators: name: Lino, Mirko
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: The aim of the work is to show, through different typologies of  rereadings and refigurations, the survival of the living dead as  cultural figure and his adaptive ability within cultural backgrounds  that are in a continuous redefinition. It will be considered two methods of survival: The polyhedral of cultural discourse the living dead produces in his literary and cinematographic representation;The proliferation of the living dead within contemporary media context, especially with the so-called “crossmedia narrations”; In the first case, three different cinematographic adaptations taken from the movie Dawn of the Dead (1978)  shot by the American filmmaker George Romero will be analyzed to  demonstrate the adaptive ability of the living dead. In the second case,  the work will reflect about the overexposure of the living dead among  the contemporary media ways. By analyzing the two methods the  work will try to trace the relationships between man and the removal of  the concept of death within the postmodern society, in order to  understand the expressive and representative strategies implemented by  contemporary culture towards the removed of death that comes back.

description: Additional file 2: Figure S1. MEGENA network analysis of freshly isolated cells establishes a reference transcriptional network for microglia. (a) Transcriptional regulatory network for freshly isolated microglia inferred by MEGENA. Nodes represent genes, and an edge between nodes represents the significant correlation of those two genes. Bar graph shows relative strength of these top 20 nodes and highlights the module to which each gene belongs. Heatmap shows the scaled expression of the top 100 genes of each of the 3 core MEGENA modules. Heatmap is represented by a downsampled 2000 of the freshly isolated cells. (b) Subnetwork of module 2. Weighted module expression is calculated by calculating the sum of the expression of each gene in the module, weighted by its strength in the network, and signed by whether that gene has positive or negative correlation with the largest hub of that module. Plotting the module weighted sum in a violin and feature plot shows strong, significant association of module 2 with the activated cluster (two-tailed t-test between activated vs homeostatic cluster, p-value = 1.93e-15). Metascape gene ontology (GO) enrichment suggests that this module is related to inflammatory response and the transcriptional response to stress. (c) Subnetwork of module 3, containing many homeostatic microglia markers. Weighted module expression is highest in the homeostatic cluster and significantly decreases in cells from the activated cluster (two-tailed t-test between activated vs homeostatic cluster, p-value = 4.34e-60). Metascape shows that pathways enriched for this module include ribonucleoprotein complex formation, functioning of the lysosome, and immune pathways like neutrophil degranulation and myeloid activation. (d) Network of the subnetwork for module 4, which contains many interferon-related genes. Module weighted sum is significantly increased in the interferon cluster compared to the homeostatic cluster (two-tailed t-test, p-value = 7.65e-23). Metascape enrichment analysis shows pathways related to interferon signaling and cytokine production.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope Observations of (596) Scheila during its recent dust outburst. The nucleus remained point-like with absolute magnitude V(1,1,0) = 8.85+/-0.02 in our data, equal to the pre-outburst value, with no secondary fragments of diameter =>100 m (for assumed albedos 0.04). We find a coma having a peak scattering cross-section ~2.2x10^4 km^2 corresponding to a mass in micron-sized particles of ~4x10^7 kg. The particles are deflected by solar radiation pressure on projected spatial scales ~2x10^4 km, in the sunward direction, and swept from the vicinity of the nucleus on timescales of weeks. The coma fades by ~30% between observations on UT 2010 December 27 and 2011 January 04. The observed mass loss is inconsistent with an origin either by rotational instability of the nucleus or by electrostatic ejection of regolith charged by sunlight. Dust ejection could be caused by the sudden but unexplained exposure of buried ice. However, the data are most simply explained by the impact, at ~5 km/s of a previously unknown asteroid ~35 m in diameter.

Die Inhibition von GSK-3 löst Apoptose in Tumorzellen aus und hemmt das Tumorwachstum im Tiermodell
Creators: name: Marinescu, Gabriela
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2008

description: Die Glykogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) ist eine Serin/Threonin Kinase die eine zentrale Rolle in vielen Signalwegen (Insulinsynthese, Wnt-Signalweg u.s.w.) spielt. In meiner Arbeit konnte ich zeigen, dass die Inhibition von GSK-3, Apoptose in p53-positiven und -negativen Tumorzellen induzierte. Die Inaktivierung von GSK-3 führt unter anderem zur Stabilisierung des p53-Proteins, das als Transkriptionsfaktor für anti-proliferative und pro-apoptotische Gene einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Zellproliferation ausübt.
In proliferierenden Zellen ist die p53-Proteinmenge niedrig und das Protein inaktiv. Wird die Menge des p53-Proteins erhöht, indem zum Beispiel sein Abbau verhindert wird, so werden die p53-abhängigen Zielgene transkribiert und Zellzyklusarrest oder Apoptose ausgelöst.
Da die Inaktivierung von GSK-3 in vorausgehenden Experimenten zur Mengenzunahme von transkriptionell aktivem p53 führte, lag die Hypothese nahe, dass die Inhibition von GSK-3 die Zellproliferation inhibieren könnte.
Die Behandlung unterschiedlicher p53-positiver und -negativer Zelllinien mit den gängigen GSK-3-Inhibitoren Lithiumchlorid oder Alsterpaullon hat eine entscheidende Wirkung auf die Zellproliferation, da sie den programmierten Zelltod in Tumorzellen einleiten. 
In Anwesenheit von LiCl zeigten die Zellen die typischen Apoptosemerkmale wie Caspase-3-Aktivierung, PARP-Spaltung und DNS-Fragmentierung. Eine eindeutige p53-Abhängigkeit konnte ich in meinen Experimenten nicht feststellen, obwohl die 
Caspase-3 -, PARP-Aktivierung und DNS-Fragmentierung in den p53-negativen Zellen schwächer war. Das Ausschalten der beiden Isoformen GSK-3? und -? durch Transfektion spezifischer siRNA-Sequenzen führte ebenfalls zur Aktivierung von Caspase-3, was mich schlussfolgern ließ, dass die Inhibition dieser Kinase die Apoptose hervorruft.
Um dieses Ergebnis auch in vivo nachweisen zu können, habe ich syngene Ratten mit LiCl und NaCl vorbehandelt, mit MT450-Mammakarzinomzellen gespritzt, um die Tumorentwicklung zu stimulieren, und anschließend das Tumorwachstum über mehrere Wochen verfolgt. Die tägliche Behandlung der Tiere mit LiCl hat ihr Tumorwachstum stark beeinträchtigt und löste Apoptose in den Tumorzellen aus. Die anschließenden histologischen Untersuchungen der Tumore zeigten, dass die mit LiCl behandelten Ratten, im Vergleich zu den mit NaCl behandelten beziehungsweise den Kontrolltieren, eine erhöhte Apoptoserate aufwiesen.
Diese Reaktion der Tumorzellen lässt hoffen, dass die Inhibition von GSK-3 eines Tages in der Tumortherapie eingesetzt werden kann, um selektiv die malignen Zellen in einem Organismus zu töten.

description: The absolute proper motions of about 275 million stars from the Kharkov XPM catalog have been obtained by comparing their positions in the 2MASS and USNO--A2.0 catalogs with an epoch difference of about 45 yr for northern-hemisphere stars and about 17 yr for southern-hemisphere stars. The zero point of the system of absolute proper motions has been determined using 1.45 million galaxies. The equatorial components of the residual rotation vector of the ICRS/UCAC2 coordinate system relative to the system of extragalactic sources have been determined by comparing the XPM and UCAC2 stellar proper motions: ω_{x,y,z}=(-0.06,0.17,-0.84)+/-(0.15,0.14,0.14) mas yr^{-1}. These parameters have been calculated using about 1 million faintest UCAC2 stars with magnitudes R_{UCAC2}>16^m and J>14^m.7,for which the color and magnitude equation effects are negligible.

The Measurement of Teachers' Implementation and Acceptability of a CBM Focus
Creators: name: Peterson, Aaron K
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a method that teachers use to formatively assess progress in reading, math, writing, and spelling. In recent years, different data-management systems have been created to systematically organize, group, and monitor data on multiple students for teachers to make better instructional decisions. Most data-management-systems are fee-based and can be cost-prohibitive, but CBM Focus is a free program consisting of the same concepts, charting, and data-entry methods. This project measured the social validity and implementation fidelity of CBM Focus—a curriculum-based measurement data management system for recording student reading, writing, and math records. Eleven participating elementary teachers in this project were surveyed prior to using CBM Focus to determine a baseline of social validity. At the end of 11 weeks, a second survey was administered. Based on results of implementation fidelity at the ninth week, an additional procedure was implemented for the last seven weeks. The study concluded with a follow up survey at 16 weeks. The results of the study revealed that the 11 teachers: (a)did not implement CBM Focus with fidelity prior to the author’s intervention; (b)implemented the program with fidelity after the author’s intervention; and (c)teachers with higher rates of implementation fidelity of CBM use had higher acceptability of CBM Focus.

description: We use the early Large Hadron Collider data to set the lower limit on the scale of Left-Right symmetry, by searching for the right-handed charged gauge boson $W_R$ via the final state with two leptons and two jets, for 33/pb integrated luminosity and 7 TeV center-of-mass energy. In the absence of a signal beyond the Standard Model background, we set the bound M_WR > 1.4 TeV at 95% C.L.. This result is obtained for a range of right-handed neutrino masses of the order of few 100 GeV, assuming no accidental cancelation in right-handed lepton mixings.

How to make a tuna burst : the role of angle of attack in the production of thrust
Creators: name: Whale, James Callum Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Tuna—along with whales and lamnid sharks—utilise thunniform locomotion, a mode of swimming that optimises efficiency at high speed and isolates thrust production to the caudal fin. Thunniform performance is controlled by adjustments in the way the caudal fin interacts with fluid flow which, in turn, determines thrust and efficiency. The effect of tail motion on performance provides insight into the link between locomotor muscle biomechanics and hydrodynamics; these insights can be used to mimic and optimise animal motion in a robotic context. This study focuses on how the maximum angle of attack (α_max), contributes to tuna cruising and bursting, and the corresponding effects on fluid flow. I hypothesise that cruising tuna do not adjust α_max to modulate thrust but instead vary amplitude via Strouhal number. I also hypothesise that α_max affects thrust by changes in vorticity shed by the tail. To study these phenomena, I constructed a tuna tail model 3-D printed from CT scan data of a tuna tail. I then oscillated this model in a water tunnel across a range of biologically relevant motions. I calculated thrust and efficiency from direct measurements of force and torque and then used ink-flow visualisation and particle image velocimetry to reveal the resulting flow structures. The results indicate that the efficiency optimum of α_max peaks around 15° with the thrust optimum beyond 30°. Mechanistically, an increase of α_max increases the magnitude of the resultant force but angles it to the side, increasing the amount of wasted lateral energy. Increasing α_max increases the size and strength of shed vortices eventually causing shedding of an additional leading edge vortex at midstroke. These results, paired with red muscle work loop data, suggest that during cruise the α_max undergoes minimal variation, and suggest that in order to take advantage of the additional thrust that high values of α_max provide, white burst muscles need to advance peak force timing. In addition to contributing to a better understanding of the hydrodynamics of swimming and the associated musculature, these results also offer insight into the field of biomimetics and the construction of fish-mimicking robots such as AUVs.

Social Justice in Social Security
Creators: name: Cottle, Erin N
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: By the year 2030 there will be twice as many retirees in the United States as today but only 18 percent more workers. This aging of the population will place considerable financial strain on the United States social security system; relatively few workers will be taxes to pay the benefits of relatively many retirees. Because of this change in demographics, the Social Security Administration will not be able to pay scheduled social security benefits as outlined by current law. Therefore, it is imperative that the government act soon to address the looming fiscal imbalance of the social security program.
The Senate Aging Committee and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) both encourage Congress to take a Rawlsian perspective when evaluating social security reform measures that are intended to cope with changing demo- graphics. In their estimation, a desirable reform should not only balance the budget, but it should also protect benefits for the economically vulnerable. In this paper, I examine the relationship between John Rawls theory of social justice and the US social security system. I then provide fifteen possible social security reforms that are consistent with Rawls theory. I conclude with an analysis of the political feasibility of the various reforms considered. As a special example, the mathematical model used to generate the results for three of the reforms is included at the end of the paper.
Link between New Versions of the Hierarchical Reference Theory of Liquids and of the Non Perturbative Renormalization Group in Statistical Field Theory

description: I propose a new version of the Hierarchical Reference Theory of liquids. Two formalisms, one in the grand canonical ensemble, the other in the framework of statistical field theory are given in parallel. In the latter the theory is an avatar of a new version of the non perturbative renormalization group (J. Phys. A : Math. Gen. \textbf{42}, 225004 (2009)). The flow of the Wilsonian action as well as that of the effective average action of Wetterich are derived and a simple relation between the two functionals is established. The standard Hierarchical Reference Theory for liquids (\textit{Adv. Phys.} \textbf{44}, 211 (1995)) is recovered for a sharp infra-red cut-off of the propagator
Controlling Error Rates with Multiple Positively-Dependent Tests
Creators: name: Masud, Abdullah Al
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: It is a typical feature of high dimensional data analysis, for example a microarray study, that a researcher allows thousands of statistical tests at a time. All inferences for the tests are determined using the p-values; a smaller p-value than the α-level of the test signifies a statistically significant test. As the number of tests increases, the chance of observing some small p-values is very high even when all null hypotheses are true. Consequently, we make wrong conclusions on the hypotheses. This type of potential problem frequently happens when we test several hypotheses simultaneously, i.e., the multiple testing problem. Adjustment of the p-values can redress the problem that arises in multiple hypothesis testing. P-value adjustment methods control error rates [type I error (i.e. false positive) and type II error (i.e. false negative)] for each hypothesis in order to achieve high statistical power while keeping the overall Family Wise Error Rate (FWER) no larger than α, where α is most often set to 0.05. However, researchers also consider the False Discovery Rate (FDR), or Positive False Discovery Rate (pFDR) instead of the type I error in multiple comparison problems for microarray studies. The methods involved in controlling the FDR always provide higher statistical power than the methods involved in controlling the type I error rate while keeping the type II error rate low. In practice, microarray studies involve dependent test statistics (or p-values) because genes can be fully dependent on each other in a complicated biological structure. However, some of the p-value adjustment methods only deal with independent test statistics. Thus, we carry out a simulation study with several methods involved in multiple hypothesis testing. Our result suggests a suitable method given that the test statistics are dependent with a particular covariance structure while allowing different values of the underlying parameters in the alternative hypotheses.

(b) Bar graph of the top 40 nodes shows from a relative strength between nodes. (c) Heatmap of the scaled expression of the top 75 genes of each core module across 2000 downsampled cells. Modules strongly associate with specific clusters. Module 9 contains genes highly expressed in the macrophage-like cluster. Module 5 contains genes associated with the microglia-like 1, and monocyte-like 1 and 2 clusters. Module 6 contains hubs of ribosomal genes and is downregulated in microglia-like cluster 2 and upregulated in microglia-like cluster 3. Modules 7 and 8 contain cell cycle genes associated with proliferation cluster. (d) Subnetwork of module 5, a heterogenous module that contains a variety of hubs. Hubs like Cx3cr1, Fcrls, and Fcer1g are markers of resting microglia, while hubs like Apoe, Lgals1, Lgals3 are activation markers. Smaller hubs like Anxa1 and S100a4 are unique to monocyte-like cells. The weighted module expression of this module is strongest in the microglia-like 1 cluster, but expression of this module is robust across all clusters. Metascape GO enrichment shows enrichment for immune and cell death processes. (e) Subnetwork of module 7, a cell cycle module whose module weighted expression is significantly higher in proliferation cluster 6 (two-tailed t-test, p-value = 1.62e-166). Metascape analysis of this clusters shows enrichment of cell cycle processes. (f) Subnetwork of module 9, with hubs Mrc1 and Stab1 that are unique markers of macrophages. Weighted module expression of this module is expressed robustly in all clusters, but is highest in macrophage-like cluster 0 (two-tailed t-test, p-value = 8.23e-7). Metascape GO enrichment shows this module is related to lysosomal and vesicle transport pathways.
The Legend of the Almo Massacre: Ostensive Action and the Commodification of Folklore

description: The following thesis is based on the role a legend plays in establishing and influencing a sense of identity and reality within a community and area, in this case the legend is of a massacre occurring in Almo, Idaho in the early 1860s. I found this legend of the Almo massacre while looking for an excuse to rock climb in the nearby City of Rocks National Reserve. I explored the Almo legend through interviews, historical documents and books and came to think that the Almo legend played a critical role in defining a sense of local reality for Almo, Idaho, both in the past and present. As time went on and I became more acquainted with the Almo legend and involved with the community, I came to realize the implications of the Almo legend were far more complex than I originally imagined. What follows is a description of both what I found in exploring the Almo legend and what I think it means

A pulse sequence analogous to Davies ENDOR in conventional electron spin resonance is used to measure the nuclear spin transition frequencies of the $^{31}$P nuclear spins, where the $^{31}$P electron spins are detected electrically via spin-dependent transitions through Si/SiO$_2$ interface states, thus not relying on a polarization of the electron spin system. In addition, the electrical detection of coherent nuclear spin oscillations is shown, demonstrating the feasibility to electrically read out the spin states of possible nuclear spin qubits.

South Davis Sewer District Pump Station Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation
Creators: name: Dixon, James W
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: In 2010, South Davis Sewer District (SDSD) determined that possible hydraulic problems existed in their various pump stations operating within their treatment plants. A hydraulic analysis was conducted for the pump stations to diagnose the problems and provide possible alternative solutions. This analysis was conducted by using hydraulic minor loss equations to determine the amount of flow that the pumps were capable of producing and then comparing those results to the required demands in the plants. In cases where the flows were lower than needed, alternatives were designed to provide the required flows.
In the south plant the pumps were capable of meeting the hydraulic needs of the plant. However, in the north plant, the pump stations were far under capacity and alternative designs were provided. It was recommended that the first pump station add a fifth pump in order to generate the extra capacity needed while the second station would have their pumps replaced with new pumps capable of providing a slightly larger flow capacity. It was also recommended that SDSD review other areas of treatments and hydraulics that may have been causing additional problems.
Estimation of Beta in a Simple Functional Capital Asset Pricing Model for High Frequency US Stock Data
Creators: name: Zhang, Yan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This project applies the methods of functional data analysis (FDA) to intra-daily returns of US corporations. It focuses on an extension of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to such returns. The CAPM is essentially a linear regression with the slope coefficient β. Returns of an asset are regressed on index return. We compare the estimates of β obtained for the daily and intra-daily returns. The variability of these estimates is assessed by two bootstrap methods. All computations are performed using statistical software R. Customized functions are developed to process the raw data, estimate the parameters and assess their variability.
The results turn out to be: First, the estimates of β obtained for the intradaily returns have bigger absolute values than those for the daily returns; secondly, to assess the variability of the estimates of β obtained for the intra-daily returns, residual bootstrap method is more reliable than pairwise bootstrap method; thirdly, the estimates of β obtained for the intra-daily returns are much higher in absolute values in 2004 than those in any other years.

Templates for Supporting Sequenced Temporal Semantics in Pig Latin
Creators: name: Deshpande, Dhaval
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This report describes proposed templates for supporting sequenced temporal semantics in Pig Latin, a dataflow language used primarily for the analysis of very large data sets. Sequence semantics says that if we take a relation and divide it into smaller relations based on timestamps, while still carrying out the regular Pig Latin program over it, the result should be the same as when carrying out the temporal Pig Latin program over the original relation. In real time, the relations can be enormous, and dividing such relations into smaller ones based on every possible timestamp creates an extremely large number of smaller relations. Hence, we create temporal programs, which eliminates the need to divide a relation into smaller relations and carry out additional operations over those smaller relations. We look at each of the templates and discuss their functionality. One example of such a template is temporal grouping, which provides an ability to group a set of tuples or a whole relation based on timestamps. Using temporal grouping, a user can find the number of tuples that exist at a given point of time. Another example is temporal coalescing, which allows a user to project multiple tuples and the timestamps of their existence in the database. We compare the complexity of the templates with the existing operations.
Do Fee-Access Hunting Programs Conserve Wildlife Habitat? A Case Study of Utah's Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit Program
Creators: name: Perschon, Adam L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Landscapes in the American West are undergoing dramatic changes as land-use patterns shift to accommodate the region’s explosive population growth. Trends toward low-density settlement patterns, or exurban development, compound the problem by consuming a disproportionately large amount of land compared to the population they support. The result is the rapid conversion of the West’s most highly productive agricultural and range lands, many of which provide benefits to biodiversity that surpass those found in permanently protected areas. Ruralists, ranchers, and conservationists alike are seeking ways to protect these ecologically important private lands from future development. One method purported to mitigate rural development pressures in Utah is the Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) program. The CWMU program provides economic incentives to private landowners in exchange for limited public access rights to their land for hunting, with the underlying goal of preserving participating private range and forest lands as wildlife habitat. The literature on CWMUs has thus far focused on hunter satisfaction, landowner motivations, and wildlife habitat improvements. This project investigates whether the CWMU program has effectively mitigated development pressure by comparing development patterns on land parcels participating in the program with land parcels that do not participate in the program. Using a case study approach in Box Elder, Summit, and Weber counties, parcel data was examined to ascertain the number and severity of land transactions resulting in parcels being split or subdivided. Further, aerial imagery was analyzed to determine the number of structures that had been built on the parcels over a period of several years. While the results of the project vary between counties, patterns do emerge indicating that parcels involved in a CWMU split or subdivide to a lesser degree than those not involved in the CWMU program. Additionally, a fewer number of structures were built on parcels participating in the CWMU program compared to parcels which do not participate in the program. The methods utilized in the project do not indicate the degree to which participation in the CWMU program has influenced development patterns, nor can the results be generalized. However, the data collected and analyzed during the project provide informative insights about CWMUs and the lands adjacent to them. It is anticipated that the results of the research will act as a springboard for further research and better enable policymakers, wildlife resources staff, and landowners to assess the CWMU program’s overall effectiveness at conserving wildlife habitat.
Popping star clusters as building blocks of the Milky Way Thick Disc

description: It is widely believed that star clusters form with low star formation efficiencies. With the onset of stellar winds by massive stars or finally when the first super nova blows off, the residual gas is driven out of the embedded star cluster. Due to this fact a large amount, if not all, of the stars become unbound and disperse in the gravitational potential of the galaxy. In this context, Kroupa (2002) suggested a new mechanism for the emergence of thickened Galactic discs. Massive star clusters add kinematically hot components to the galactic field populations, building up in this way, the Galactic thick disc as well. In this work we perform, for the first time, numerical simulations to investigate this scenario for the formation of the galactic discs of the Milky Way. We find that a significant kinematically hot population of stars may be injected into the disk of a galaxy such that a thick disk emerges. For the MW the star clusters that formed the thick disk must have had masses of about 10^6 Msol.

A Proposal to Make Grain Storage Financially Feasible

description: The United States has a National Oil Reserve but not a food reserve. Just as the oil reserve is designed to buffer unforeseen disruptions in the critical supply, the nation should also have a food reserve for the same purpose.
The United States and other developed nations have little or no food reserve beyond the typical demands between growing seasons. Marvelous production achievements in agriculture beginning in the early 1960s and known as the “Green Revolution” are now leveling off. Food production, suffering from such negative side effects as reduced water tables, is being outstripped by population growth (Bourne, 2009).

description: We present a comprehensive photoluminescence study of exchange interaction in self-assembled CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. We exploit the presence of multiple charge states in the photoluminescence spectra of single quantum dots to analyze simultaneously fine structure of different excitonic transitions, including recombination of neutral exciton/biexciton, doubly charged negative exciton and negatively charged biexciton. We demonstrate that the fine structure results from electron-hole exchange interaction and that spin Hamiltonians with effective exchange constants $δ_i$ can provide a good description of each transition in magnetic field for Faraday and Voigt field geometry. We determine and discuss values of the effective exchange constants for a large statistics of quantum dots.
Conformational and UV photochemistry studies of amino acids in matrix-isolation FTIR spectroscopy

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The existence of amino acids in interstellar space has been a hot topic among researchers in astronomical science because of the biological molecules relevance to the origin of life. One of the most popular tools employed for the study of amino acids in relation to interstellar chemistry is matrix-isolation spectroscopy, as the cold and isolated environment provided by the matrix crystal mimics various astrophysical media such as interstellar ice. In the presented work, we reported the conformational and UV photochemistry studies of β-alanine and α-alanine via matrix-isolation Fourier transform infrared (MI-FTIR) spectroscopy in solid parahydrogen. This is the first time β-alanine and α-alanine have been registered in parahydrogen matrices, and the crystal has proven to be a more beneficial host over argon matrices for conformational analysis and in-situ UV irradiation experiment. Our claim on the superiority of solid parahydrogen is supported by the detection of high energy amino acids conformers in solid parahydrogen, which are unobserved in noble gas matrices. These conformers are conformer III for β-alanine, and conformer VI and V for α-alanine. As for UV irradiation experiment in solid parahydrogen, we obtained predominantly conformational change for β-alanine. However, α-alanine underwent complete photodestruction to give CO₂ and other unknown photoproducts we are still attempting to identify. Finally, we observed the possibility of β-alanine zwitterion formation in parahydrogen matrices, and are currently in the process of performing high accuracy quantum calculations on several β-alanine zwitterion conformers to assist us in spectral assignment.
A Merging System for Integrated Person-Centric Information Systems
Creators: name: Jain, Swati
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Large-scale integrated information systems correlate equivalent or related information from multiple data sources to provide a unified view of data. This report describes the design and implementation of a tool called xMerger that provides a unified view from multiple matching records, which could be multi-source duplicates and overlapping records. To achieve this xMerger provides a merging process that generates a complete and accurate merged record from conflicting and incomplete records. This report also discusses the challenges present in the process of merging and xMerger’s solutions. xMerger’s design and implementation was validated by adapting it to CHARM, a real world integrated system currently in use at the Utah Department of Health.

description: Indirect Dark Matter searches are based on the observation of secondary particles produced by the annihilation or decay of Dark Matter. Among them, gamma-rays are perhaps the most promising messengers, as they do not suffer deflection or absorption on Galactic scales, so their observation would directly reveal the position and the energy spectrum of the emitting source. Here, we study the detailed gamma-ray energy spectrum of Kaluza--Klein Dark Matter in a theory with 5 Universal Extra Dimensions. We focus in particular on the two body annihilation of Dark Matter particles into a photon and another particle, which produces monochromatic photons, resulting in a line in the energy spectrum of gamma rays. Previous calculations in the context of the five dimensional UED model have computed the line signal from annihilations into γγ, but we extend these results to include γZ and γH final states. We find that these spectral lines are subdominant compared to the predicted γγsignal, but they would be important as follow-up signals in the event of the observation of the γγline, in order to distinguish the 5d UED model from other theoretical scenarios.
