description: Accelerating expansion of the Universe is a great challenge for both physics and cosmology. In light of lacking the convincing theoretical explanation, an effective description of this phenomenon in terms of cosmic equation of state turns out useful. The strength of modern cosmology lies in consistency across independent, often unrelated pieces of evidence. Therefore, every alternative method of restricting cosmic equation of state is important. Strongly gravitationally lensed quasar-galaxy systems create such new opportunity by combining stellar kinematics (central velocity dispersion measurements) with lensing geometry (Einstein radius determination form position of images). In this paper we apply such method to a combined data sets from SLACS and LSD surveys of gravitational lenses. In result we obtain the cosmic equation of state parameters, which generally agree with results already known in the literature. This demonstrates that the method can be further used on larger samples obtained in the future. Independently noticed systematic deviation between fits done on standard candles and standard rulers is revealed in our findings. We also identify an important selection effect crucial to our method associated with geometric configuration of the lensing system along line of sight, which may have consequences for sample construction from the future lensing surveys.

description: Background There is limited knowledge about when and how adolescents with low back pain (LBP) interact with health care providers. This limits our understanding of how to best help these young patients. This study aimed to understand when and how care-seeking adolescents with LBP interact with health care providers and which health literacy competencies and strategies do they use to self-managing their LBP. Method Ten semi-structured interviews (duration 20–40 min) were conducted online among adolescents aged 15–18 with current or recent LBP (pain duration range; 9 months – 5 years). The interview guide was informed by literature on health literacy and self-management in patients. We conducted a semantic and latent thematic data analyses. Results Three major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Self-management, (2) Pain and Function, and (3) Communication. All adolescents were functionally limited by their pain but the main reason to consult a health care provider was an increase in pain intensity. Many were able to navigate the healthcare system, but experienced difficulties in communicating with health care providers, and many felt that they were not being taken seriously. Their first line self-management option was often over-the-counter pain medicine with limited effects. Most adolescents expressed a desire to self-manage their LBP but needed more guidance from health care providers. Conclusion Adolescents with LBP seek care when pain intensifies, but they lack self-management strategies. Many adolescents want to self-manage their LBP with guidance from health care providers, but insufficient communication is a barrier for collaboration on self-management.

description: A781 belongs to a complex system characterized by extended X-ray emissions that may form part of line of clusters of galaxies along a filament. The aim of this work is to investigate the possible presence of extended, diffuse synchrotron radio emission connected to the intra-cluster medium of A781. We studied the radio continuum emission and the spectral index properties in proximity of the A781 by analyzing archival Very Large Array observations at 1400 and 325 MHz. The main cluster of the system is permeated by diffuse low-surface brightness radio emission which is classified, being located close to the center, as a radio halo. The diffuse emission presents the typical extension and radio power of the other halos known in the literature. Interestingly, the radio halo appears to be linked to a peripheral patch previously found in the literature. The spectrum of this peripheral emission shows a radial steepening which may confirm that this source is indeed a cluster relic.

Science and Enabling Technologies to Explore the Interstellar Medium

description: This report summarizes two very exciting and illuminating KISS workshops held on September 8,
2014 and January 12, 2015 entitled, “Science and Enabling Technologies for the Exploration of the
Interstellar Medium (ISM),” led by Edward Stone (Caltech), Leon Alkalai (JPL), and Louis Friedman
(The Planetary Society, Co-Founder and Executive Director Emeritus). The timing for these
workshops aligned with two recent events related to the exploration of the ISM: in September 2013,
Caltech professor and Voyager Project Scientist Edward Stone announced that the Voyager 1
spacecraft had detected the Heliopause a year earlier, in August 2012 [1]. Unrelated to this, the Kepler
Space Telescope’s search for exoplanets (planets around other stars) has yielded spectacular results,
including the detection of Earth-like planets. Thus, the vast space between our star and those with
potentially habitable planets is slowly emerging into focus. This raises the question, “When and how will
humanity bridge this divide and reach toward such destinations?” Even more compelling is the question, “What
is a reasonable first step in that direction?” knowing full well that reaching another star is far beyond our
current technical capability. The workshops brought together over thirty scientists and engineers to
address the following key questions:
• Is there compelling science to be achieved on the way to, at, and in the ISM?
• What is a reasonable first step in the long road ahead?
• What are some of the enabling technologies required to reach beyond our solar system?
The answers to these questions were formulated in terms of 1) Astrophysics and Planetary science
on the way to the ISM at 5–100 AU, which would include the zodiacal background and dust
measurements and flyby of one or more Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs); 2) Heliophysics measurements
to obtain a better understanding of the complex environments inside and outside the protective bubble
created by our Sun as it travels through the ISM; 3) and Astrophysics from the vantage point of being
in the ISM at 100–700 AU, including parallax science, gravitational measurements, and the imaging of
exoplanets using gravitational lensing
Distributive justice and its realization in Nigeria

Subjects: subject: 100 Philosphy

description: This dissertation began with the debate on what exactly constitutes the correct currency of justice in a political society. Justice means giving each individual an equal path in order to live a meaningful human life. Unfortunately, the principles of justice enumerated do not function well in Nigeria. The research revealed the major obstacles which militate against the realisation of justice in the country. The state of justice in Nigeria demands a radical approach and the conclusion is that sound education and philosophy can serve as a road-map towards realizing an equal and just society.

description: We extend the proof from arXiv:1012.3137, which interprets the AGT relation as the Hubbard-Stratonovich duality relation to the case of 5d gauge theories. This involves an additional q-deformation. Not surprisingly, the extension turns out to be trivial: it is enough to substitute all relevant numbers by q-numbers in all the formulas, Dotsenko-Fateev integrals by the Jackson sums and the Jack polynomials by the MacDonald ones. The problem with extra poles in individual Nekrasov functions continues to exist, therefore, such a proof works only for β= 1, i.e. for q=t in MacDonald's notation. For β\ne 1 the conformal blocks are related in this way to a non-Nekrasov decomposition of the LMNS partition function into a double sum over Young diagrams.

description: Atmosphärenforschung ist notwendig - überlebensnotwendig, wie wir heute wissen! In diesem Buch erfährt der Leser, dass ausgehend von der Rostocker Luftwarte (ab 1912), bis zu den Observatorien Warnemünde (1946 - 1951) und Kühlungsborn (beschrieben bis 1991) wesentliche Beiträge dazu geliefert wurden: 1) zunächst mit Hilfe von Drachen und Ballons aus Höhen bis über 2000 m. 2) Prof. Falckenberg, Gründer des Observatoriums Warnemünde, nutzte die Funkwellenausbreitung und erreichte damit Höhen von 90 km und legte damit die Grundlagen für die Meteorologie der Hochatmosphäre. 3) Theoretische Überlegungen am Observatorium Kühlungsborn zeigten, dass die Vorstellungen der Atmosphärenphysiker Mitte des 20. Jh. unabhängiger Schichten in der Atmosphäre nicht zutreffen - im Gegenteil: Sie sind von der Troposphäre bis zur Stratosphäre, ja bis zur Mesosphäre, vertikal und durch planetare Wellen rund um die Erde eng miteinander verbunden. 4) Die Ära künstlicher Satelliten ab 04.10.1957 erlaubte erstmalig Messungen der Ionosphäre von außen und erschloss weitere Forschungsmöglichkeiten, u. a. die Satellitennavigation (GPS), deren theoretische Grundlagen in Kühlungsborn entwickelt wurden. Atmosphärenforschung verlangt von den Wissenschaftlern viel Enthusiasmus und Ideenreichtum und ist obendrein nicht kostenlos, was besonders bei der zunächst privat finanzierten Luftwarte und dem beschriebenen Zeitraum mit zwei Weltkriegen und einer Inflation sehr deutlich wird. Die wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe und Ergebnisse sind allgemeinverständlich beschrieben und durch zahlreiche anschauliche Bilder erläutert. Der Autor hat 1946 Prof. Falckenberg noch persönlich kennengelernt und war seit 1956 Wissenschaftler am Observatorium Kühlungsborn und hatte dort Anteil an der Entwicklung dieser Einrichtung.

description: The rapid development of antimicrobial resistance is pushing the search in the discovering of novel antimicrobial molecules to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Self-assembling antimicrobial peptides, as the lipidated peptides, are a novel and promising class of molecules capable of meeting this need. Based on previous work on Temporin L analogs, several new molecules lipidated at the N- or and the C-terminus were synthesised. Our goal is to improve membrane interactions through finely tuning self-assembly to reduce oligomerisation in aqueous solution and enhance self-assembly in bacterial membranes while reducing toxicity against human cells. The results here reported show that the length of the aliphatic moiety is a key factor to control target cell specificity and the oligomeric state of peptides either in aqueous solution or in a membrane-mimicking environment. The results of this study pave the way for the design of novel molecules with enhanced activities.

description: We investigated transition strengths from ultracold weakly bound 41K87Rb molecules produced via the photoassociation of laser-cooled atoms. An accurate potential energy curve of the excited state (3)1Sigma+ was constructed by carrying out direct potential fit analysis of rotational spectra obtained via depletion spectroscopy. Vibrational energies and rotational constants extracted from the depletion spectra of v'=41-50 levels were combined with the results of the previous spectroscopic study, and they were used for modifying an ab initio potential. An accuracy of 0.14% in vibrational level spacing and 0.3% in rotational constants was sufficient to predict the large observed variation in transition strengths among the vibrational levels. Our results show that transition strengths from weakly bound molecules are a good measure of the accuracy of an excited state potential.

description: We estimate the channel characteristics of field-installed dark fibers at single photon levels for quantum key distribution (QKD). Measured fibers are telecom single-mode dark fibers over 45 km connecting a center and suburbs of Tokyo. Their total losses are about 14dB, and 50% of the whole lengths are aerial lines. We find that stray light from other public internet fibers is dominant and crosstalk occurs at bending points in laying cables. These results mean the crosstalk from public networks can increase the bit error rate in the QKD system, and imply an underlying information leakage through an adjacent covered-fiber.

High-Resolution Stratigraphy of the Mars North Polar Layered Deposits

Publisher: name: Keck Institute for Space Studies

Subjects: Keck Institute for Space Studies

description: The Mars north polar layered deposits (NPLD) consist primarily of water ice and dust,
and represent the bulk of the north polar cap [Byrne, 2009]. The NPLD likely hold the most
extensive record of recent climate during a period of major insolation variation tied to quasiperiodic
orbital changes [Thomas et al., 1992; Laskar et al., 2002]. Data from the High
Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) permits definition of layers at sub-meter scale
and a renewed analysis of possible orbital expression in NPLD thickness. In this study, imagederived
digital elevation models are generated and used to produce thickness measurements in
accordance with bed orientation and topographic expression. Stratigraphic columns have been
produced for two new sites within the NPLD, and contain several sets of finely bedded units 1-2
m thick; dark, prominent marker beds 3-5 m thick; and undifferentiated units. This work suggests
that 1-2 m beds are indeed common in the NPLD; that marker beds are also common, but occur
at variable separation distances; and that models of NPLD formation need to incorporate new
phenomena to generate the observed scale of bedding. As yet, no distinct orbital fingerprint can
be identified.

description: We report the operation of quantum wire (QWR) semiconductor diode lasers fabricated by cleaved edge overgrowth. The active region in these index guided lasers consists of 15 QWRs formed at the right angle intersection of 15 [001] oriented quantum wells (QWs) each 7 nm wide, with a single 7-nm-wide QW grown along the [110] direction. Doping with Be and Si in the two orthogonal growth directions leads to the formation of a linear p-n junction in which the QWRs are embedded. Efficient current injection into the wires is demonstrated by the almost complete suppression of optical emission from QW states as well as by threshold currents as low as 0.4 mA for uncoated devices at 4.2 K.
Monitoring the efficacy of a field-based heat acclimatization protocol to improve performance in elite female soccer players.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a 14-day, two-phase, field-based heat acclimatization (HA) training camp in international female soccer players. Sixteen outfield players engaged in (i) baseline absolute Plasma volume (PV) testing in Vancouver, Canada (~15˚C; 72.0% relative humidity: RH) 16 days prior to the start of the camp, (ii) Phase 1: 7 days of pre-HA (22.1±3.3˚C; 44.8±9.4%RH), (iii) Phase 2: 6 days of HA (34.5±1.2˚C; 53.2±4.3%RH), and (iv) 11 days of post-HA training (18.2±4.6˚C; 51.3±20.9%RH). Change in PV (%) from baseline was measured at the start of Phase 1, the end of Phase 1, and two days post-Phase 2. Core temperature (Tc), heart rate (HR), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and Global Positioning System (GPS) derived metrics were recorded during all sessions. The physiological change during 5’-1’ submaximal running (12km/h) was observed pre and post Phase 1 and 2, two days post Phase 2 (2dayP), and eleven days post Phase 2 (11dayP) using HR during exercise (HRex) and recovery (HRR), as well as RPE. GPS metrics, HRR, and HRex during a four-a-side soccer game (4v4SSG) were used to observe physical performance in the heat pre and post Phase 2. All data were analyzed using magnitude-based inference statistics. PV increased by 7.4±3.6% (Standardized effect; SE=0.63) from the start of Phase 1 to the end of Phase 2, and this occurred primarily in Phase 1 (SE=0.64). 5’-1’ submaximal running improved over Phase 2 in hot conditions (HRex; SE= -0.49, HRR; SE=0.53). The greatest improvement in submaximal running in temperate conditions was delayed as the largest change from Phase 1 in HRex (SE= -0.42) and HRR (SE= 0.37) occurred 11dayP. The 4v4SSG revealed a moderate reduction in HRex (-3.5bpm), a large increase in HRR (5.7%), and a moderate increase in inertial explosive movements (20%) from pre to post Phase 2. Field-based HA can induce physiological change beneficial to soccer performance in temperate and hot conditions and the 5’-1’ submaximal running test may be used to effectively monitor submaximal HR responses that may have been induced by HA up to two-weeks out of the heat.

description: A previous phenotypic screening campaign led to the identification of a quinazoline derivative with promising in vitro activity against Schistosoma mansoni. Follow-up studies of the antischistosomal potential of this candidate are presented here. The in vivo studies in a S. mansoni mouse model show a significant reduction of total worms and a complete disappearance of immature eggs when administered concomitantly with praziquantel in comparison with the administration of praziquantel alone. This fact is of utmost importance because eggs are responsible for the pathology and transmission of the disease. Subsequently, the chemical optimisation of the structure in order to improve the metabolic stability of the parent compound was carried out leading to derivatives with improved drug-like properties. Additionally, the putative target of this new class of antischistosomal compounds was envisaged by using computational tools and the binding mode to the target enzyme, aldose reductase, was proposed.

description: We study the reset dynamics of niobium (Nb) superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) using experimental measurements and numerical simulations. The numerical simulations of the detection dynamics agree well with experimental measurements, using independently determined parameters in the simulations. We find that if the photon-induced hotspot cools too slowly, the device will latch into a dc resistive state. To avoid latching, the time for the hotspot to cool must be short compared to the inductive time constant that governs the resetting of the current in the device after hotspot formation. From simulations of the energy relaxation process, we find that the hotspot cooling time is determined primarily by the temperature-dependent electron-phonon inelastic time. Latching prevents reset and precludes subsequent photon detection. Fast resetting to the superconducting state is therefore essential, and we demonstrate experimentally how this is achieved.

Gravitational lensing with stochastic substructure: Effects of the clump mass function and spatial distribution
Creators: name: Keeton, Charles R.
Publisher: name: Keck Institute for Space Studies
Year: 2009

description: Mass clumps in gravitational lens galaxies can perturb lensed images in
characteristic ways. Strong lens flux ratios have been used to constrain the
amount of dark matter substructure in lens galaxies, and various other
observables have been considered as additional probes of substructure. We study
the general theory of lensing with stochastic substructure in order to
understand how lensing observables depend on the mass function and spatial
distribution of clumps. We find that magnification perturbations are mainly
sensitive to the total mass in substructure projected near the lensed images;
when the source is small, flux ratios are not very sensitive to the shape of
the clump mass function. Position perturbations are mainly sensitive to a
characteristic clump mass scale, namely m_eff = /, with some mild
dependence on other mass moments when the spatial distribution is not uniform.
They have contributions from both "local" and "global" populations of clumps
(i.e., those projected near the images, and those farther away). Time delay
perturbations are sensitive to the same characteristic mass, m_eff, and mainly
driven by the global population of clumps. While there is significant scatter
in all lensing quantities, there are some non-trivial correlations that may
contain further information about the clump population. Our results indicate
that a joint analysis of multiple lens observables will offer qualitatively new
constraints on the mass function and spatial distribution of dark matter
substructure in distant galaxies.

description: Global sea level rise threatens to be one of the most costly consequences of human-caused climate change. And yet, projections of sea level rise remain poorly understood and highly uncertain. The largest potential contribution to global sea level rise involves the loss of ice covering all or even a
portion of Antarctica. As global atmospheric and ocean temperatures rise, physical processes related to the ocean’s circulation: (i) carry this additional heat into the deep ocean, (ii) transport it poleward via the overturning circulation and (iii) ultimately deliver the heat to the underside of floating Antarctic ice shelves. Enhanced melting that occurs due to warm ocean waters plays an
important role in the loss of ice from the continent. Our understanding of the first two steps that bring heat towards Antarctica has increased substantially over the past two decades through improved measurements of air-sea interactions and interior ocean properties (e.g., Argo). Yet, the constraints on the oceanic delivery of heat to Antarctic ice shelves and its impact on melt rates remains critically under-studied. Our inability to constrain the rate of retreat of Antarctic
glaciers and how the Antarctic Ice Sheet will behave in a warming climate remains the single most significant reason for the large uncertainty in sea level projections over the 21st century. This problem is the focus of the KISS study, "The Sleeping Giant: Measuring Ocean Ice Interactions in Antarctica," and stands as one of the grand challenges of climate science today.

description: This thesis examines the influence of multilingual mastery – specifically, the command of both English and Russian – on translation quality. By synthesizing relevant literature, exploring theoretical frameworks, and proposing a research methodology, this study investigates how linguistic proficiency and cultural competence affect the translation process. The analysis considers both the cognitive and affective dimensions of language mastery, emphasizing that a deep understanding of linguistic nuances and cultural contexts leads to translations that are not only accurate but also contextually and stylistically appropriate. Implications for translation pedagogy and professional practice are discussed, underscoring the importance of advanced language skills for achieving high-quality translations.

description: It is argued that the recently observed Fermi liquids in strongly interacting ultracold Fermi gases are adiabatically connected to a projected Fermi gas. This conclusion is reached by constructing a set of Jastrow wavefunctions, following Tan's observations on the structure of the physical Hilbert space [Annals of Physics 323, 2952 (2008)]. The Jastrow projection merely implements the Bethe-Peierls condition on the BCS and Fermi gas wavefunctions. This procedure provides a simple picture of the emergence of Fermi polarons as composite fermions in the normal state of the highly polarized gas. It is also shown that the projected BCS wavefunction can be written as a condensate of pairs of composite fermions (or Fermi polarons). A Hamiltonian for the composite fermions is derived. Within a mean-field theory, it is shown that the ground state and excitations of this Hamiltonian are those of a non-interacting Fermi gas although they are described by Jastrow-Slater wavefunctions.

Helioseismic response to X2.2 solar flare of February 15, 2011

description: The X2.2-class solar flare of February 15, 2011, produced a powerful sunquake event, representing a helioseismic response to the flare impact in the solar photosphere, which was observed with the HMI instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The impulsively excited acoustic waves formed a compact wavepacket traveling through the solar interior and appearing on the surface as expanding wave ripples. The initial flare impacts were observed in the form of compact and rapid variations of the Doppler velocity, line-of-sight magnetic field and continuum intensity. These variations formed a typical two-ribbon flare structure, and are believed to be associated with thermal and hydrodynamic effects of high-energy particles heating the lower atmosphere. The analysis of the SDO/HMI and X-ray data from the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) shows that the helioseismic waves were initiated by the photospheric impact in the early impulsive phase, observed prior to the hard X-ray (50-100 keV) impulse, and were probably associated with atmospheric heating by relatively low-energy electrons (~6-50 keV) and heat flux transport. The impact caused a short motion in the sunspot penumbra prior to the appearance of the helioseismic wave. It is found that the helioseismic wave front traveling through a sunspot had a lower amplitude and was significantly delayed relative to the front traveling outside the spot. These observations open new perspectives for studying the flare photospheric impacts and for using the flare-excited waves for sunspot seismology.

The development of coxsackievirus type B3 as a novel oncolytic virus against KRAS-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of lung cancer and the subsequent emergence of targeted therapies, treatment responses are typically short-lived. Oncolytic virotherapy provides a possible alternative direction for controlling this incurable disease. Coxsackievirus type B3 (CVB3) is a common human pathogen associated with viral myocarditis in young adults. Due to its highly lytic nature and ability to selectively replicate within cancerous cells, I hypothesize that CVB3 can be developed as an oncolytic virus. Here we demonstrated that in vitro, CVB3 specifically targets KRAS-mutant (KRASmut) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a subtype of NSCLC with limited treatment options. Furthermore, we showed in vivo that intratumoral injection of CVB3 significantly reduces tumor volumes in patient-derived KRASmut NSCLC xenograft models. Mechanistically, we found that aberrant activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling and elevated expression of the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), the primary receptor for CVB3 internalization, are associated with preferential replication of CVB3 within KRASmut NSCLC. However, despite a satisfactory tumor regression rate, CVB3 treatment leads to the onset of viral myocarditis in immunocompromised mouse models, indicating that potential safety issues need to be addressed prior to its potential application in lung cancer therapy. It is known that CVB3 subverts host machinery to gain survival advantages, and this process is highly associated with a spectrum of human disorders. We reported that Grb2-associated binding protein 1 (GAB1), a scaffolding adaptor protein responsible for intracellular signaling assembly and transduction, plays a crucial role in regulating compensatory cardiac response to aging and hemodynamic stress. Furthermore, we demonstrated that both GAB1 and Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2, a functional homologue of GAB1), are proteolytically cleaved after CVB3 infection by virus-encoded protease 2Apro, independent of caspase activation. We showed that virus-induced cleavage of GAB1 is beneficial for viral growth as the resulting cleavage fragment (GAB1-N₁₋₁₇₄) further enhances ERK1/2 activation and promotes viral replication. Taken together, our findings suggest that CVB3 is a potent oncolytic agent against KRASmut NSCLC, and that elimination of CVB3-induced cardiotoxicity would significantly enhance the safety of this virotherapy.

Universal bounds on the electrical and elastic response of two-phase bodies and their application to bounding the volume fraction from boundary measurements

description: Universal bounds on the electrical and elastic response of two-phase (and multiphase) ellipsoidal or parallelopipedic bodies have been obtained by Nemat-Nasser and Hori. Here we show how their bounds can be improved and extended to bodies of arbitrary shape. Although our analysis is for two-phase bodies with isotropic phases it can easily be extended to multiphase bodies with anisotropic constituents. Our two-phase bounds can be used in an inverse fashion to bound the volume fractions occupied by the phases, and for electrical conductivity reduce to those of Capdeboscq and Vogelius when the volume fraction is asymptotically small. Other volume fraction bounds derived here utilize information obtained from thermal, magnetic, dielectric or elastic responses. One bound on the volume fraction can be obtained by simply immersing the body in a water filled cylinder with a piston at one end and measuring the change in water pressure when the piston is displaced by a known small amount. This bound may be particularly effective for estimating the volume of cavities in a body. We also obtain new bounds utilizing just one pair of (voltage, flux) electrical measurements at the boundary of the body.
