description: We investigate the core mass distribution (CMD) resulting from numerical models of turbulent fragmentation of molecular clouds. In particular we study its dependence on the sonic root-mean-square Mach number $\Ms$. We analyze simulations with $\Ms$ ranging from 1 to 15 to show that, as $\Ms$ increases, the number of cores increases as well while their average mass decreases. This stems from the fact that high-Mach number flows produce many and strong shocks on intermediate to small spatial scales, leading to a highly-fragmented density structure. We also show that the CMD from purely turbulent fragmentation does not follow a single power-law, but it may be described by a function that changes continuously its shape, probably more similar to a log-normal function. The CMD in supersonic turbulent flows does not have a universal slope, and as consequence, cast some doubt on attempts to directly relate the CMD to a universal Initial Mass Function.

description: Adaptation of rural livelihoods to climate change hazards such as floods and droughts is critical. However, policy has focused on large scale adaptation policies that often ignore local knowledge. In this paper, we explore local perceptions and insights about viable livelihood adaptation strategies in arid Isiolo County, Kenya. Research included 270 household surveys and 6 focus group discussions in 7 communities. Results indicate that the three livelihoods that communities saw as being a viable option for themselves in the context of future climate change included camel keeping, business, and modern agriculture. Camels were cited as being resilient to drought. Business was seen as an option less impacted by floods and droughts than other livelihood options, and modern agriculture could improve food security and income. These local insights should be included in climate change adaptation policy in order to sustain, and even improve, the livelihoods of vulnerable communities in the future.

description: The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model is an $N$-modes fermionic model with infinite range random interactions. In this work, we study the thermal Rényi entropy for a subsystem of the SYK model using the path-integral formalism in the large-$N$ limit. The results are consistent with exact diagonalization [1] and can be well approximated by thermal entropy with an effective temperature [2] when subsystem size $M\leq N/2$. We also consider generalizations of the SYK model with quadratic random hopping term or $U(1)$ charge conservation.

description: The recent development shows that expansion is the key to enlarge the infrastructure not only in
horizontal direction but in vertical direction too. For this, tall constructions are favored due to less consumption
of the land region for living purpose. With this, the seismic disaster activities in this approach made it more
complicated. Indian Standard code of practice 1893:2016 shows the seismic prone zones where the shakes are
witnessed. On decreasing the load of the structure decreases the Base Shear on the foundation base without
compromising the stiffness of the tall structures. To demonstrate and prove this, six tall structures are prepared
using software approach, lessening the beam sizes with grade change in top floors, analyzed it and compared
among them. After deep comparative analysis, it has been found out that Building with Base Shear reduction
case F1 emerges and hence proved to be the best Base Shear reduction case.
Dry Active Matter exhibits a self-organized 'Cross Sea' Phase

description: The Vicsek model of self-propelled particles is known in three different phases: (i) a polar ordered homogeneous phase also called Toner-Tu phase, (iii) a phase of polar ordered regularly arranged high density bands (waves) with surrounding low density regions without polar order and (iv) a homogeneous phase without polar order. It has been questioned whether the band phase (iii) should be divided into two parts [Chaté2020]: one with periodically arranged and one with strongly interacting but not ordered bands. We answer this question by showing that the standard Vicsek model has a fourth phase for large system sizes: (ii) a polar ordered cross sea phase. Close to the transition towards (i) this phase becomes unstable and looks like strongly interacting bands. We demonstrate that the cross sea phase is not just a superposition of two waves, but it is an independent complex pattern. Furthermore we show that there is a non-zero mass flow through the structure of the cross sea pattern within its co-moving frame.

description: We report observations of spontaneous formation of magnetic flux lines during a rapid quench of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-δ}$ films through T$_{c}$. This effect is predicted according to the Kibble-Zurek mechanism of creation of topological defects of the order parameter during a symmetry-breaking phase transition. Our previous experiment, at a quench rate of 20K/sec, gave null results. In the present experiment, the quench rate was increased to \TEXTsymbol{>} 10$^{8}$ K/sec. Within experimental resolution, the dependence of the measured flux on the cooling rate is consistent with the prediction.

description: This paper investigated the push and pull factors that influence the participation decision of rural households in non-farm activities (RNFA) and the income earned from this sector. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to estimate the likelihood of participation in RNFA and a censored income determinant function (tobit) was estimated to understand factors influencing nonfarm income share in the study area. Results show that only 21% of the total household income was derived from different nonfarm activities with activity rate of 46%. In disaggregated functional categories, 21% and 24.6% of the total sampled households participated in wage employment and self-employment, respectively. However, income from each activity accounted for only 10.3% and 11% of total income. The multinomial logit analysis showed that the likelihood of earning income from non-farm economic activities was significantly influenced by capacity variables such as wealth and human capital. Having better education, land holding, access to irrigation and number of adult members positively influenced the likelihood of involvement in non-farm activities. The result was associated with access to irrigation and implies that households with better economic condition are pulled to the non-farm sector attracted by the better return from the non-agricultural sector. Female-headed households were found more likely to participate in own business than male-headed ones. Estimation of the tobit model revealed that having access to credit, better land size, livestock and number of adults in the household significantly and positively influenced the share of income from rural non-farm employment (RNFE). It was also found that age and sex (male) of household head had positive effect on the share of income from RNFE. The findings of the study suggest that efforts should focus on the promotion of nonfarm opportunities that do not impose barriers to entry through provision of physical infrastructure such as road, improving credit provision, improving educational status and improving irrigation water accessibility. These efforts can be expected not only to directly raise the income levels of the disadvantaged but also to reduce inequality by raising wages received by those who remain employed as non-agricultural laborers.

description: Research on fault diagnosis on highly nonlinear dynamic systems such as the engine of a vehicle have garnered huge interest in recent years, especially with the automotive industry heading towards self-driving technologies. This article presents a novel opensource simulation testbed of a turbocharged spark ignited (TCSI) petrol engine system for testing and evaluation of residuals generation and fault diagnosis methods. Designed and developed using Matlab/Simulink, the user interacts with the testbed using a GUI interface, where the engine can be realistically simulated using industrial-standard driving cycles such as the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP), the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the Extra-Urban Driving Cycle (EUDC), and EPA Federal Test Procedure (FTP-75). The engine is modeled using the mean value engine model (MVEM) and is controlled using a proportional-integral (PI)-based boost controller. The GUI interface also allows the user to induce one of the 11 faults of interest, so that their effects on the performance of the engine are better understood. This minimizes the risk of causing permanent damages to the engine and shortening its lifespan, should the tests be conducted onto the actual physical system. This simulation testbed will serve 16 as an excellent platform where researchers can generate critical data to develop and compare current and future research methods for fault diagnosis of automotive engine systems.

The Kutasov duality method gives a result in which one instanton term is absent. The matrix model method confirms it and also show that the absence of the one instanton term is related to the masslessness of the adjoint field.

description: Charge-stabilized colloidal spheres dispersed in weak 1:1 electrolytes are supposed to repel each other. Consequently, experimental evidence for anomalous long-ranged like-charged attractions induced by geometric confinement inspired a burst of activity. This has largely subsided because of nagging doubts regarding the experiments' reliability and interpretation. We describe a new class of thermodynamically self-consistent colloidal interaction measurements that confirm the appearance of pairwise attractions among colloidal spheres confined by one or two bounding walls. In addition to supporting previous claims for this as-yet unexplained effect, these measurements also cast new light on its mechanism.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The standard model of cosmology considers the existence of two components of unknown nature, ``dark matter'' and ``dark energy'', which determine the cosmological evolution. Their nature remains unknown, and other models can also be considered. In particular, it may be possible to reinterpret the recent cosmological observations so that the Universe does not contain two fluids of unknown natures, but only one fluid with particular properties. After a brief review of constraints on this unifying ``dark fluid'', we will discuss a specific model of dark fluid based on a complex scalar fluid.

title: Identification of molecular targets of oncogenic NRAs and BRAF involved in regulation of melanoma cell proliferation
Creators: name: Petti, Carlotta
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: Mutated BRAF or NRAS genes have been found in ~90% of sporadic melanomas, with a frequency of ~65% of tumors harbouring a mutated BRAF and ~25% of tumors bearing an activated NRAS. However, NRASQ61R and BRAFV600E are generally mutually exclusive, suggesting that occurrence of both mutations in the same tumor is selected against during tumorigenesis. Analysis of clones isolated from a rare melanoma bearing both mutations showed that the two activating mutations are indeed mutually exclusive at the single cell level. Forced co-expression of the two activating mutations in the same melanoma cell activated senescence and increased susceptibility to cell-mediated citotoxicity, consistent with a relationship of synthetic lethality between oncogenic NRAS and BRAF. A search for differentially expressed genes in double mutant (i.e. bearing NRASQ61R and BRAFV600E) vs. single mutated cells (bearing only BRAFV600E) allowed to identify LCN2 and LOXL3, by Microarray analysis, and activated AMPK, by Western blot, as potential targets involved in growth arrest of double mutant cells. AMPK was chosen for further analysis in panels of melanoma cells. Treatment of melanoma cells with either AICAR or Phenphormin, two specific activators of AMPK, led to inhibition of growth and of cell cycle progression in different human melanomas that was correlated to the up-regulation of p21 protein. Moreover, cells with activated AMPK showed evidence of induction of senescence. These results suggest that targeting genes associated with oncogenic NRAS and BRAF, and involved in regulation of cell growth and senescence, may allow the development of new therapeutic strategies for advanced melanoma.

description: Controlling and measuring the concentration of para-D2 is an essential step toward realizing solid deuterium as an intense ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source. To this end, we implemented an experimental technique to convert para- to ortho-deuterium molecules by flowing D2 gas through a cryogenic cell filled with paramagnetic hydrous ferric oxide granules. This process efficiently reduced the para-D2 concentration from 33.3% to 1.5%. Rotational Raman spectroscopy was applied to measure the residual para-D2 contamination to better than 2 parts in 10^3, and the hydrogen contamination to 1 part in 10^3. We also contrast our optical technique to conventional thermal conductivity measurements of the para-D2 concentration, reporting some of the relevant strengths and weaknesses of our implementation of each technique.

description: The influence of disorder and interaction on the ground state polarization of the two-dimensional (2D) correlated electron gas is studied by numerical investigations of unrestricted Hartree-Fock equations. The ferromagnetic ground state is found to be plausible when the electron number is lowered and the interaction and disorder parameters are suitably chosen. For a finite system at constant electronic density the disorder induced spin polarization is cut off when the electron orbitals become strongly localized to the individual network sites. The fluctuations of the interaction matrix elements are calculated and brought out as favoring the ferromagnetic instability in the extended and weak localization regime. The localization effect of the Hubbard interaction term is discussed.

Interpreting solar wind turbulent spectra beyond Taylor's Hypothesis

description: In this paper we apply a methodology, recently proposed by Bourouaine and Perez (2019) (BP19), to interpret solar-wind turbulent power spectra beyond Taylor approximation (TA). The turbulent power spectra were measured using \emph{Helios} spacecraft data near 0.6 au. We use the model proposed in BP19 to reproduce the field-perpendicular power spectrum $E(k_\perp)$ of anti-sunward Alfvénic fluctuations in the plasma frame (where $k_\perp$ is the field-perpendicular wavenumber) from the corresponding measured frequency power spectrum $P_{\rm sc}(ω,θ_b)$ along the sampling angle $θ_b$, which is the angle between the local magnetic field and the sampling direction. Here $ω=2πf$ and $f$ is the frequency of the time signal. Interestingly enough, we found that for all corresponding measured frequency power spectrum $P_{\rm sc}(ω,θ_b)$ the reproduced field-perpendicular power spectrum $E(k_\perp)$ is the same and independent of the considered sampling angle $θ_b$. This finding is consistent with the fact that the analyzed turbulence is strong and highly anisotropic with $k_\| \ll k_\perp$ (where $k_\|$ is the field-parallel wavenumber). Furthermore, for this specific time signal we found that the commonly used TA is still approximately valid with the important difference that a broadening in $k_\perp$ for each angular frequency $ω$ is present. This broadening can be described in the context of the methodology proposed in BP19.

title: Transmission Dynamics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus within the Household and in the Community
Creators: name: Okiro, Emelda Aluoch
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: Introduction: Knowledge on RSV infection and disease is sparse in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Disease incidence is highest in infants, but there is little understanding on how and where they become infected. Characteristics of RSV transmission are poorly defined. Understanding transmission of RSV within the community is important in understanding infection and disease in infants and in defining potential effects of vaccination

Methods: A prospective longitudinal surveillance of ARI in a random selection of households in Kilifi District, coastal Kenya, was established in early 2003, and continued until 2005. Participants were under active and passive surveillance and were reviewed using a standard proforma. Nasal washings from symptomatic household members were screened for RSV antigen using IFAT. Oral-fluid for serological determination of infection was collected at enrolment and every 3 months.

Results: 81 households were recruited, 25 were lost to followup. 121 infections were identified approximately half of which were re-infections. The virus infected 54% of the households. Incidence of RSV infection was 218 cases/1000 cyo (95% CI, 182- 264). The incidence of primary infection was 476 cases/1000 cyo (95% CI, 361-630) and re-infection was 147/1000 cyo (95% CI, 115-189). Risk of disease was higher during primary infection than re-infection with the highest risk of disease in children 12-17months old. Estimated duration of viral shedding was short, <1 week. Age, sex, infection history and severity of infection were not found to significantly affect duration of shedding. Pre-school children with siblings in school had higher rates of infection. Index to secondary case interval was shorter for younger children and SARs were higher in smaller households. Crowding and stunting were associated with increased risk of both LRTI and RSV specific LRTI. Sanitation, type of house, and having siblings under the age of 6 years of age were associated with increased risk of RSV-disease.

Conclusion: We have defined several aspects of RSV transmission and demonstrated an important burden of RSV infection and disease in a rural Kenyan community addressing a need for more information from developing countries.

description: Self-healing sensors have the potential to increase the lifespan of existing sensing technologies, especially in soft robotic and wearable applications. Furthermore, they could bestow additional functionality to the sensing system because of their self-healing ability. This paper presents the design for a self-healing sensor that can be used for damage detection and localization in a continuous manner. The soft sensor can recover full functionality almost instantaneously at room temperature, making the healing process fully autonomous. The working principle of the sensor is based on the measurement of air pressure inside enclosed chambers, making the fabrication and the modeling of the sensors easy. We characterize the force sensing abilities of the proposed sensor and perform damage detection and localization over a one-dimensional and two-dimensional surface using multilateration techniques. The proposed solution is highly scalable, easy-to-build, cheap and even applicable for multi-damage detection.

title: Parish constables versus police constables: policing early nineteenth-century Essex
Creators: name: Scollan, Maureen Janet
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: This thesis begins by placing early nineteenth-century Essex in its historical context before going on to discuss the role of magistrates, a small group of whom could be described as semi-professional. Discussion about a survey of peace officers in 1832 introduces case studies of several policing schemes which were operating concurrently under different authorities. Consideration of the debates and public enquiries of the late 1830s link national issues to local practice, and this is followed by an examination of the practicalities of starting the county force and its interactions with parish constables and other local officers. The penultimate chapter discusses the different ways in which policing developed before and after the 1835 Municipal Corporations Act in the four ancient Essex boroughs. A concluding chapter focuses on the compulsory 1856 Act and its contribution to the diminishing role of parish constables. The thesis, therefore, contributes to the continuing reappraisal of the role of early nineteenth-century constables. It demonstrates that, contrary to the stereotypical images, many parish constables were both competent and semiprofessional. Hitherto much research has concentrated on magistrates and constables as historical agents, illustrating their active contribution to the development of professional policing as the old system was gradually superseded by the new police. By using a range of local and national records, this thesis focuses mainly on the men appointed as petty constables by authorities such as courts leet and parishes, and examines their occupations and background. It shows how such men operated in a cross-section of Essex communities between c.1800-c.1860, and explores their working relationships with magistrates and members of the new police. The thesis thus challenges some negative stereotypes of the parish constable but, more importantly, demonstrates that he continued as part of an effective parallel system of law enforcement which co-operated with the county police until the mid-1850s.

description: Recent work has suggested that disorganised speech might be a powerful predictor of later psychotic illness in clinical high risk subjects. To that end, several automated measures to quantify disorganisation of transcribed speech have been proposed. However, it remains unclear which measures are most strongly associated with psychosis, how different measures are related to each other and what the best strategies are to collect speech data from participants. Here, we assessed whether twelve automated Natural Language Processing markers could differentiate transcribed speech excerpts from subjects at clinical high risk for psychosis, first episode psychosis patients and healthy control subjects (total N = 54). In-line with previous work, several measures showed significant differences between groups, including semantic coherence, speech graph connectivity and a measure of whether speech was on-topic, the latter of which outperformed the related measure of tangentiality. Most NLP measures examined were only weakly related to each other, suggesting they provide complementary information. Finally, we compared the ability of transcribed speech generated using different tasks to differentiate the groups. Speech generated from picture descriptions of the Thematic Apperception Test and a story re-telling task outperformed free speech, suggesting that choice of speech generation method may be an important consideration. Overall, quantitative speech markers represent a promising direction for future clinical applications.

description: The formation of atomic wires via pseudomorphic step-edge decoration on vicinal silicon surfaces has been analyzed for Ga on the Si(112) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations. Based on a chemical potential analysis involving more than thirty candidate structures and considering various fabrication procedures, it is concluded that pseudomorphic growth on stepped Si(112), both under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, must favor formation of Ga zig-zag chains rather than linear atom chains. The surface is non-metallic and presents quasi-one dimensional character in the lowest conduction band.

Automatic Extraction and Sign Determination of Respiratory Signal in Real-time Cardiac Magnetic Resonance imaging

description: In real-time (RT) cardiac cine imaging, a stack of 2D slices is collected sequentially under free-breathing conditions. A complete heartbeat from each slice is then used for cardiac function quantification. The inter-slice respiratory mismatch can compromise accurate quantification of cardiac function. Methods based on principal components analysis (PCA) have been proposed to extract the respiratory signal from RT cardiac cine, but these methods cannot resolve the inter-slice sign ambiguity of the respiratory signal. In this work, we propose a fully automatic sign correction procedure based on the similarity of neighboring slices and correlation to the center-of-mass curve. The proposed method is evaluated in eleven volunteers, with ten slices per volunteer. The motion in a manually selected region-of-interest (ROI) is used as a reference. The results show that the extracted respiratory signal has a high, positive correlation with the reference in all cases. The qualitative assessment of images also shows that the proposed approach can accurately identify heartbeats, one from each slice, belonging to the same respiratory phase. This approach can improve cardiac function quantification for RT cine without manual intervention.

description: To estimate the Curie temperature of metallic magnets from first principles, we develop a local force method for the tight-binding model having spin-dependent hopping derived from spin density functional theory. While spin-dependent hopping is crucial for the self-consistent mapping to the effective spin model, the numerical cost to treat such non-local terms in the conventional Green's function scheme is formidably expensive. Here, we propose a formalism based on the kernel polynomial method (KPM), which makes the calculation dramatically efficient. We perform a benchmark calculation for bcc-Fe, fcc-Co, and fcc-Ni and find that the effect of the magnetic non-local terms is particularly prominent for bcc-Fe. We also present several local approximations to the magnetic non-local terms for which we can apply the Green's function method and reduce the numerical cost further by exploiting the intermediate representation of the Green's function. By comparing the results of the KPM and local methods, we discuss which local method works most successfully. Our approach provides an efficient way to estimate the Curie temperature of metallic magnets with a complex spin configuration.
