description: The 2018 perihelion passage of comet 46P/Wirtanen afforded an opportunity to measure the abundances and spatial distributions of coma volatiles in a Jupiter-family comet with exceptional spatial resolution for several weeks surrounding its closest approach to Earth (Δmin ∼0.078 au on UT December 16). We conducted near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 46P/Wirtanen using iSHELL at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on UT 2018 December 18 in direct coordination with observations using the newly upgraded NIRSPEC-2 instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory, and securely detected fluorescent emission from CH3OH, C2H6, and H2O. This coordinated campaign utilizing the two premier near-infrared facilities in the northern hemisphere enabled us to sample distinct projections of the coma into the plane of the sky simultaneously, and provided an unprecedented view into the inner coma of 46P/Wirtanen near closest approach. We report rotational temperatures, production rates, and abundance ratios (i.e., mixing ratios) for all sampled species and compare our iSHELL results to simultaneous (or near-simultaneous) measurements taken with NIRSPEC-2. We demonstrate the extraordinary synergy of coordinated measurements using iSHELL and NIRSPEC-2, and advocate for future cometary studies that jointly leverage the capabilities of these two facilities.

description: This article brings the social science concept of deservingness' to bear on clinical cases of transnational migrant patients. Based on the authors' medical social science research, health delivery practice and clinical work from multiple locations in Africa. Europe and the Americas, the article describes three clinical cases in which assumptions of deservingness have significant implications for the morbidity and mortality of migrant patients. The concept of deservingness allows us to maintain a critical awareness of the often unspoken presumptions of which categories of patients are more or less deserving of access to and quality of care, regardless of their formal legal eligibility. Many transnational migrants with ambiguous legal status who rely on public healthcare experience exclusion from care or poor treatment based on notions of deservingness held by health clinic staff, clinicians and health system planners. The article proposes several implications for clinicians, health professional education, policymaking and advocacy. A critical lens on deservingness can help global health professionals, systems and policymakers confront and change entrenched patterns of unequal access to and differential quality of care for migrant patients. In this way, health professionals can work more effectively for global health equity.

description: We study various $Sp(2M)$ invariant field equations corresponding to rank $r$ tensor products of the Fock (singleton) representation of $Sp(2M)$. These equations are shown to describe localization on ``branes'' of different dimensions embedded into the generalized space-time $\M_M$ with matrix (i.e., ``central charge'') coordinates. The case of bilinear tensor product is considered in detail. The conserved currents built from bilinears of rank 1 fields in $\M_M$ are shown to satisfy the field equations of the rank 2 fields in $\M_M$. Also, the rank 2 fields in $\M_M$ are shown to be equivalent to the rank 1 fields in $\M_{2M}$.

description: Based on the authors' work in Latin America and Africa, this article describes and applies the concept of structural vulnerability' to the challenges of clinical care and healthcare advocacy for migrants. This concept helps consider how specific social, economic and political hierarchies and policies produce and pattern poor health in two case studies: one at the USA-Mexico border and another in Djibouti. Migrants' and providers' various entanglements within inequitable and sometimes violent global migration systems can produce shared structural vulnerabilities that then differentially affect health and other outcomes. In response, we argue providers require specialised training and support; professional associations, healthcare institutions, universities and humanitarian organisations should work to end the criminalisation of medical and humanitarian assistance to migrants; migrants should help lead efforts to reform medical and humanitarian interventions; and alternative care models in Global South to address the structural vulnerabilities inherent to migration and asylum should be supported.

description: This paper presents the viscoelastic model for the Ashcroft-Langreth dynamic structure factors of liquid binary mixtures. We also provide expressions for the Bhatia-Thornton dynamic structure factors and, within these expressions, show how the model reproduces both the dynamic and the self-dynamic structure factors corresponding to a one-component system in the appropriate limits (pseudobinary system or zero concentration of one component). In particular we analyze the behavior of the concentration-concentration dynamic structure factor and longitudinal current, and their corresponding counterparts in the one-component limit, namely, the self dynamic structure factor and self longitudinal current. The results for several lithium alloys with different ordering tendencies are compared with computer simulations data, leading to a good qualitative agreement, and showing the natural appearance in the model of the fast sound phenomenon.

description: A two dimensional flow model is introduced with deterministic behavior consisting of bursts which become successively larger, with longer interburst time intervals between them. The system is symmetric in one variable x and there are bursts on either side of x = 0, separated by the presence of an invariant manifold at x = 0. In the presence of arbitrarily small additive noise in the x direction, the successive bursts have bounded amplitudes and interburst intervals. This system with noise is proposed as a model for edge localized modes in tokamaks. Further, the bursts can switch from positive to negative x and vice-versa. The probability distribution of burst heights and interburst periods is studied, as is the dependence of the statistics on the noise variance. The modification of this behavior as the symmetry in x is broken is studied, showing qualitatively similar behavior if the symmetry breaking is small enough. Experimental observations of a nonlinear circuit governed by the same equations are presented, showing good agreement.

description: Uniaxial and biaxial strain approaches are usually implemented to switch the ferroelastic states, which play a key role in the application of the ferroics and shape memory materials. In this work, by using the first-principles calculations, we found not only uniaxial strain, but also shear strain can induce a novel ferroelastic switching, in which the van der Waals (vdW) layered direction rotates with the ferroelastic transition in layered bulk PdSe2. The shear strain induces ferroelastic switching with three times amplitude smaller than uniaxial strain. The novel three-states ferroelastic switching in layered PdSe2 also occurs under shear strain. Our result shows that the shear strain could be used as an effective approach for manipulating the functionalities of layered materials in potential device applications.

Well-being and cooking behavior : using the Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (PERMA) model as a theoretical framework
Creators: name: Farmer, Nicole

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The prevalence of psychosocial distress is increasing in the United States. At the same time, the American default lifestyle has steadily displaced household food production with industrial food production, despite increased cultural interest in cooking. An important focus of cooking research to date has been on cooking’s association with nutrition and dietary quality. Less focus has been placed on how cooking might foster the qualities that allow for mitigation of psychosocial distress and promote well-being. Rooted in its evolutionary role in the human experience, cooking requires skills and knowledge that have the capacity to encourage aspects of well-being as described by Seligman as flourishing. Evidence for a beneficial role of cooking in psychosocial health exists, but the exploration is limited, potentially due to lack of a theoretical context to explain these benefits. From this perspective, we review the current literature showing the application of Seligman’s prominent well-being model, Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (PERMA), to cooking, defined as the activity related to the preparation of food or a meal. We propose that the PERMA model as applied to cooking may function as a theoretical framework to explore psychosocial outcomes associated with cooking. Broader application of this approach may also help to further the application of positive psychology in the developing literature around psychosocial health and nutrition-related chronic diseases.
title: Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin ĸ light chain genes
Creators: name: Goyenechea Corzo, Beatriz
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1996

description: Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes is a tightly controlled, site directed process. The nucleotide changes are targeted in the region surrounding the rearranged V gene segment of the heavy and light chain loci. The targeting of somatic mutation does neither require V region including the Vĸ promoter specific features nor a specific distance between the C ĸ and the 3' enhancer. On the other hand, removal of either the ĸ 3' enhancer or the ĸ intron enhancer/M AR causes a drastic reduction in hypermutation, which is particularly marked in the latter case. In the work described in this dissertation I have used transgenic mice carrying immunoglobulin ĸ transgenes with deleted regulatory elements, to make a tighter delineation of which DNA regions within the ĸ locus are important for hypermutation. In addition I have used transgenic mice to study the role of the primary sequence and the DNA secondary structure in this process.

This thesis describes the generation of artificial Ig genes constructs to make transgenic lines. ĸ transgenes were characterized by Southern blot and by ELISA in the seven mouse lines obtained. The role of the 3' enhancer core in the transcription of the ĸ chain was also studied in stable transfected S I07 mouse myelom a cells.

The analysis of the transgenes carrying deletions of regulatory elements revealed that hypermutation was impaired (but not severely affected) when the intron enhancer was deleted. This also was the case when the flanking regions of the 3' enhancer core were deleted. Hypermutation was severely affected (but not abolished) when the core of the 3' enhancer was removed. This reflects the relative roles of both components of the 3' enhancer region in gene expression. The matrix attachment region seems to be essential, since its deletion abolished hypermutation, but not expression, since abundant ĸ mRNA was still produced. Furthermore these studies showed that the 3' enhancer can drive hypermutation from a position upstream of the Vĸ region.

The major role of the primary sequence in the formation of hotspots and the mutational machinery preferences for AGY encoded Ser and the bias against TCA encoded Ser as target for hypermutation were disclosed with the analysis of the transgenes carrying VĸOx1 gene with modifications in the CDR1 sequence. However, whilst hairpin loops do not define which base is going to be targeted, they seem to have a role in the accessibility of the 'favoured' nucleotides for hypermutation.

description: An efficient, low-cost, high yield% and eco-friendly synthetic procedure is designed for the synthesis of novel series of nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrid molecules bearing several aryl and/or heteroaryl moieties. Our strategy includes the synthesis of a novel series of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, bearing nicotinonitrile moiety, followed by its Knoevenagel reaction with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of an organo-base. The above reaction is studied in different reaction conditions. The optimized conditions are performing the reaction in ethanol at 80 °C in the presence of 10 mol% of piperazine citrate (1:1). The in-vitro antibacterial activities of the nicotinonitrile-coumarins were evaluated against different Gram-positive and negative bacterial strains. Moreover, the in-vitro cytotoxicity of nicotinonitrile-coumarins were estimated against different eukaryotic cell lines. Compounds 5a and 5b exhibited the most promising antibacterial agents among the novel series. The structures of novel series of the target nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrid molecules were confirmed by considering their elemental analyses and spectral data.

description: The hadronic weak decays of $Λ_c$ are studied in the framework of a constituent quark model. With the combined analysis of the Cabbibo-favored processes, $Λ_c\to Λπ^+$, $Σ^0π^+$ and $Σ^+π^0$, we confirm that the non-factorizable transition mechanisms play a crucial role in the understanding of their compatible branching ratios. We emphasize that the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects, which is generally at the order of $1\sim 2\%$, can be amplified by the destructive interferences among the pole terms in the diagrams with internal conversion. Some contributions are sensitive to the spatial distribution of the scalar-isoscalar light-quark sector in the $Λ_c$, and its overlap with the light quarks in the final state hyperon. Namely, a compact diquark configuration is disfavored.

description: Extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) sources including high-harmonic generation, free-electron lasers, soft x-ray lasers and laser-driven plasmas are widely used for applications ranging from femtochemistry and attosecond science to coherent diffractive imaging and EUV lithography. The bandwidth of the XUV light emitted by these sources reflects the XUV generation process used. While light from soft-x-ray lasers and XUV FELs typically has a relatively narrow bandwidth, plasma sources and HHG sources driven by few-cycle laser pulses emit broadband XUV pulses. Since these characteristic properties of a given XUV source impose limitations to applications, techniques enabling modification of the XUV bandwidth are highly desirable. Here we demonstrate a concept for efficient spectral compression of a broadband XUV pulse via four-wave mixing (FWM) in the presence of a broadband near-infrared (NIR) pulse in a krypton gas jet, exploiting a phase-matching scheme based on closely-spaced resonances. Our concept provides new possibilities for tailoring the spectral bandwidth of XUV beams.

An important focus of cooking research to date has been on cooking’s association with nutrition and dietary quality. Less focus has been placed on how cooking might foster the qualities that allow for mitigation of psychosocial distress and promote well-being. Rooted in its evolutionary role in the human experience, cooking requires skills and knowledge that have the capacity to encourage aspects of well-being as described by Seligman as flourishing. Evidence for a beneficial role of cooking in psychosocial health exists, but the exploration is limited, potentially due to lack of a theoretical context to explain these benefits. From this perspective, we review the current literature showing the application of Seligman’s prominent well-being model, Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (PERMA), to cooking, defined as the activity related to the preparation of food or a meal. We propose that the PERMA model as applied to cooking may function as a theoretical framework to explore psychosocial outcomes associated with cooking. Broader application of this approach may also help to further the application of positive psychology in the developing literature around psychosocial health and nutrition-related chronic diseases.

description: In the present era of large scale surveys, big data presents new challenges to the discovery process for anomalous data. Such data can be indicative of systematic errors, extreme (or rare) forms of known phenomena, or most interestingly, truly novel phenomena which exhibit as-of-yet unobserved behaviors. In this work we present an outlier scoring methodology to identify and characterize the most promising unusual sources to facilitate discoveries of such anomalous data. We have developed a data mining method based on k-Nearest Neighbor distance in feature space to efficiently identify the most anomalous lightcurves. We test variations of this method including using principal components of the feature space, removing select features, the effect of the choice of k, and scoring to subset samples. We evaluate the peformance of our scoring on known object classes and find that our scoring consistently scores rare (<1000) object classes higher than common classes. We have applied scoring to all long cadence lightcurves of quarters 1 to 17 of Kepler's prime mission and present outlier scores for all 2.8 million lightcurves for the roughly 200k objects.

description: We discuss the experimental requirements for a mass hierarchy measurement for $θ_{13}=0$ using muon neutrino disappearance. We find that a specially optimized neutrino factory at $L \simeq 6 \,000 \, \mathrm{km}$ could do this measurement using extreme luminosities. In particular, we do not require charge identification for this purpose. In order to measure the mass hierarchy for more adequate luminosities, we explore the capabilities of low energy narrow band off-axis beams, which have relatively more events at low energies. We find that, in this case, the energy resolution of the detector quickly becomes the limiting factor of the measurement, and significantly affects the baseline optimization for determining the mass hierarchy.

description: The analysis of the total amount of expenses for medical services of an individual during a given year can be divided into two parts: the analysis of the probability of having non-zero expenses, and the analysis of the amount of the non-zero expenses. In this paper we construct a statistical model for the total amount of expenses for medical services. First, we analyse which factors influence the probability of having non-zero expenses on the basis of a logit model. Second, we analyse ten probability distributions that might be used to describe the amount of the non-zero expenses, where we distinguish five categories of non-zero expenses. Third, we examine which factors influence the parameters of the probability distribution of the amount of non-zero expenses of three categories on the basis of a lognormal model. The models are applied to Dutch health insurance data.

On Quantum State Observability and Measurement

description: We consider the problem of determining the state of a quantum system given one or more readings of the expectation value of an observable. The system is assumed to be a finite dimensional quantum control system for which we can influence the dynamics by generating all the unitary evolutions in a Lie group. We investigate to what extent, by an appropriate sequence of evolutions and measurements, we can obtain information on the initial state of the system. We present a system theoretic viewpoint of this problem in that we study the {\it observability} of the system. In this context, we characterize the equivalence classes of indistinguishable states and propose algorithms for state identification.

description: In many areas of science, the ability to use computers to process, analyze, and visualize large data sets has become essential. The mismatch between the ability to generate large data sets and the computing skill to analyze them is arguably the most striking within the life sciences. The Digital Image and Vision Applications in Science (DIVAS) project describes a scaffolded series of interventions implemented over the span of a year to build the coding and computing skill of undergraduate students majoring primarily in the natural sciences. The program is designed as a community of practice, providing support within a network of learners. The program focus, images as data, provides a compelling ‘hook’ for participating scholars. Scholars begin the program with a one-credit spring semester seminar where they are exposed to image analysis. The program continues in the summer with a one-week, intensive Python and image processing workshop. From there, scholars tackle image analysis problems using a pair programming approach and can finish the summer with independent research. Finally, scholars participate in a follow-up seminar the subsequent spring and help onramp the next cohort of incoming scholars. We observed promising growth in participant self-efficacy in computing that was maintained throughout the project as well as significant growth in key computational skills. DIVAS program funding was able to support seventeen DIVAS over three years, with 76% of DIVAS scholars identifying as women and 14% of scholars identifying as members of an underrepresented minority group. Most scholars (82%) entered the program as first year students, with 94% of DIVAS scholars retained for the duration of the program and 100% of scholars remaining a STEM major one year after completing the program. The outcomes of the DIVAS project support the efficacy of building computational skill through repeated exposure of scholars to relevant applications over an extended period within a community of practice.

description: Konflikte in Mexiko, die von organisiert kriminellen Vereinigungen untereinander oder mit staatlichen Kräften ausgefochten werden, sind häufig durch ein hohes Gewaltmaß gekennzeichnet, wobei auch Waffen von deutschen Herstellern wie Heckler & Koch zum Einsatz kommen. In dieser Arbeit haben wir bestehende kriminologische Konzepte zur Beschreibung einer Wechselwirkung zwischen den Akteuren in diesen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Ziel zusammengetragen, die Lage in Mexiko besser zu verstehen sowie die Validität jener Konzepte bei einer Anwendung auf ein komplexes Fallbeispiel, das Studentenmassaker in Iguala im Jahr 2014, zu prüfen. Im Ergebnis erwiesen sich die verwendeten Theorien als geeignet, zum Verständnis des Wechselspiels zwischen Akteuren der Gewalt in Mexiko beizutragen, jedoch bedarf die Theorie weiterer Schärfung, vor allem im Hinblick auf die Rolle organisiert krimineller Vereinigungen.

description: Maximum likelihood procedures for estimating sum-constrained models like demand systems, brand choice models and so on, break down or produce very unstable estimates when the number of categories n is large as compared with the number of observations available T. In empirical studies this difficulty is mostly resolved by postulating the contemporaneous covariance matrix of the dependent variables to be equal to a2(I - n-il 1 1). In this paper we develop n n a maximum likelihood procedure based on a contemporaneous covariance matrix which allows that the variances per category may be different, while the number of observations required is substantially less than the number that would be required in the case of a completely unrestricted contemporaneous covariance matrix.
