title: Registration and Imagination in the 'Everyday' of Civic Space
Creators: name: Smith, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This thesis provides a room-by-room journey through the 'tessellating' spaces of a community hub where the public, cultural, and administrative services of local government are brought together under one roof. The research draws from a case study conducted at the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge - a building situated in Canterbury's (UK) historic city centre which provides local residents with a museum, library, gallery, café, tourist information desk, community exhibition, and registration hub. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, I locate imaginative potential in the Beaney's 'tessellating spaces' to explore the spatial dynamics of civil registration. The thesis argues that there is a meaning scripted into the where of registration and that, by tracing the lines back from the certificate to its space of production, a spatial narrative can unfold which may otherwise be overlooked. The room-by-room journey begins with historical analysis which maps out a spatial transition from documenting the soul to registering the medico-legal body. The thesis continues by tracing these historical lines to and through the Beaney's lawscape. The mezzanine floor of the Beaney highlights the competing technologies of registration as a bureaucratic act of governance which identifies the individual yet also provides a public forum for the local community to perform secular ritual. The thesis develops these technologies through the conceptual understanding of registration as a process of 'journeying'. The state's documentation of the life course, I argue, invokes multiple lines of movement - the literal pathways of registrars and citizens, the figurative 'journeying' of legal identity, and the paper trails which follow. This process of 'journeying' weaves together the human and non-human, the bureaucratic and spiritual, the sacred and secular to contribute a more nuanced understanding of registration which draws upon its spatial dynamics to highlight the affective, imaginative, and immaterial registers of state documentation. The thesis, in doing so, provides a spatio-legal reading which contributes a fresh perspective to civil registration - a bureaucratic act of governance more typically framed in terms of its written and textual materiality than its spatial dynamics.

description: Questions about the evolution of material culture are widespread in the humanities and social sciences. Statistical modeling of long-term changes in material culture is less common due to a lack of appropriate frameworks. Our goal is to close this gap and provide robust statistical methods for examining changes in the diversity of material culture. We provide an open-source and quantitative workflow for estimating rates of origination, extinction, and preservation, as well as identifying key shift points in the diversification histories of material culture. We demonstrate our approach using two distinct kinds of data: age ranges for the production of American car models, and radiocarbon dates associated with archaeological cultures of the European Neolithic. Our approach improves on existing frameworks by disentangling the relative contributions of origination and extinction to diversification. Our method also permits rigorous statistical testing of competing hypotheses to explain changes in diversity. Finally, we stress the value of a flexible approach that can be applied to data in various forms; this flexibility allows scholars to explore commonalities between forms of material culture and ask questions about the general properties of cultural change.
title: Robust Communications in Erlang
Creators: name: Harrison, Joseph Richard
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Erlang is a dynamically-typed functional and concurrent programming language lauded by its proponents for its relatively simple syntax, process isolation, and fault tolerance. The functional aspect has rich features like pattern matching and tail-call optimisation, while the concurrent aspect uses isolated processes and asynchronous message passing to share state between system components. The two meet with pattern matching on mailboxes, which allows for a process to pick a message from its mailbox - potentially out of order - based on its structure, value, type, or a mixture thereof. A strongly and dynamically typed language like Erlang can experience many kinds of runtime errors, such as ill-typed operands to arithmetic operators. The interaction between Erlang's type system and process mailboxes can lead to a more subtle runtime error which is harder to detect: orphan messages. As the types of messages are not checked either at compile time or runtime, a process can be sent a message which it will never receive. Essentially, non-trivial type discrepancies in Erlang programs can cause subtle bugs when communication is involved. These problems can be hard to detect and fix, with current solutions such as extensive testing and exhaustive model checking. This thesis reports on work to detect communication-related type discrepancies in Erlang programs. A fragment of the Core Erlang intermediate format is modelled formally so that we can reason about the out-of-order communication in Erlang systems, particularly the dependencies between sent messages when determining whether orphan messages exist. Afterwards, a sub-typing relation based on Erlang's type system is introduced to clearly define the notion of an orphan message, forming the foundation of a system for automatic detection via a mix of static analysis and runtime verification. This culminates in automatic tooling to detect certain cases of communication discrepancies via static analysis, and automatic instrumentation of concurrent programs to detect and recover from more complicated cases at runtime.

description: Genus Anaceratagallia Zachvatkin Status revised
 Anaceratagallia Zachvatkin, 1946: 159–161. Type-species: Agallia venosa Fallén, by original designation.
 Color. Brown with two spots on vertex, two on anterior margin of pronotum and at base of scutellum, black. Pronotum often with lateral triangular and median spindle-shaped dark brown patches (Fig. 3).
 Morphology. Robust, wedge-shaped leafhoppers. Vertex longer medially than next to eyes, hind margin evenly rounded. Face and vertex shagreened, transclypeal sulcus complete, gena behind eyes sinuate. Pronotum coarsely and transversely irregularly rugose. Forewing venation prominent with four apical and three anteapical cells, inner anteapical cell closed posteriorly by cross vein (Fig. 14). Forefemora with intercalary (IC) setae forming arched row, antero-ventral (AV) row with one stout, long prominent and two subprominent setae (Fig. 23). Hind tibial macrosetae PD 9±1, AD 7±1, AV 5±1. Hind basitarsus with two platellae on distal transverse row.
 Male genitalia. Pygofer well sclerotized, caudal lobe produced ventrally into spine-like process or triangular expansion with acute ventral angle (Figs 100, 106, 123). Subgenital plates together boat-shaped, with short macrosetae arranged in mesal submarginal row. Styles with inner arm longer than outer, usually apically narrowed with subapical tooth. Aedeagus without long processes, often with denticles, dorsal apodeme well developed, preatrium short, gonopore subapical. Anal collar process well developed.
 Female genitalia. First pair of valvulae with papillose sculpturing (Figs 41, 42), sculpturing in middle section submarginal, dorsal two rows not aligned, rest aligned with distinct interspaces, dorsal sculpture on 0.75 length. Second pair of valvulae with dorso-apical margin angularly elevated about distal 0.25, teeth smooth, without denticles, ventroapical area serrated (Figs 43, 44).
 Distribution. Predominantly a Palaearctic genus but also distributed in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions.
 Remarks. Anaceratagallia closely resembles Bergallia Oman, Aceratagallia Kirkaldy, Hemagallia gen. nov. and Nandigallia gen. nov. (see below). Nast (1972), Ossiannilsson (1981) and Oman et al. (1990) treated this genus as a junior synonym of Agallia without justification. Anufriev & Emeljanov (1988) however, considered Anaceratagallia as a genus distinct from Agallia. The structure of head, pronotum, forewing venation, pygofer, aedeagus and style distinguish this genus from Agallia. The subgenital plates in Anaceratagallia and Nandigallia gen. nov. are boat-shaped; however, they differ in the structure of the inner arm of the style, which is broad in Nandigallia and narrowed in Anaceratagallia.

gene × environment interaction

description: Previous studies suggested that both maladaptive stress response and circadian dysregulation might have a role in the background of migraine. However, effects of circadian genes on migraine have not been tested yet. In the present study, we investigated the main effect of rs10462028 of the circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK) gene and its interaction with different stress factors on migraine. In our cross-sectional study 2,157 subjects recruited from Manchester and Budapest completed the ID-Migraine questionnaire to detect migraine type headaches (migraineID). Additional stress factors were assessed by a shortened version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the List of Threatening Experiences questionnaire, and a validated questionnaire to identify financial difficulties. Rs10462028 showed no main genetic effect on migraineID. However, chronic stress indexed by financial difficulties showed a significant interaction effect with rs10462028 (p = 0.006 in recessive model) on migraineID. This result remained significant after correction for lifetime bipolar and unipolar depression and was replicated in both subsamples, although only a trend effect was reached after Bonferroni-correction, which is the strictest correction not considering interdependences. Childhood adversity (CHA) and Recent negative life events (RLE) showed no significant gene × stress interaction with rs10462028. In addition, in silico analysis demonstrated that the genetic region tagged by rs10462028 alters the binding of several miRNAs. Our exploratory study suggests that variations in the CLOCK gene, with moderating effect on gene function through miRNA binding, in interaction with financial difficulties might influence the risk of migraine-type headaches. Thus, financial hardship as a chronic stress factor may affect migraine through altering circadian rhythms.

description: Same-sign charged Higgs pair production via vector-boson scattering is a useful probe of the mass spectrum among the heavier scalar, pseudoscalar, and charged Higgs bosons in two-Higgs-doublet models. It has been shown that the production cross section scales as the square of the mass difference $Δm = (m_{H^0} - m_{A^0})$ in the alignment limit $(\cos(β- α)=0)$. We study the potential measurement of this same-sign charged Higgs pair production at the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and the proposed 27 TeV $pp$ collider, with emphasis in the decay channel $H^\pm H^\pm \to (W^\pm A^0 ) (W^\pm A^0)$, which is in general the dominant mode when the charged Higgs mass is above the $W^\pm A^0$ threshold. We also examine the current allowed parameter space taking into account the theoretical constraints on the model, the electroweak precision measurements, $B$ decays, and direct searches in the $H^\pm \to τ^\pm ν_τ$ and $H^\pm \to W ^\pm A^0 \to (\ell^\pmν_{\ell} ) (μμ)$.

description: Motivated by recent surprising experimental findings, we develop a strong-coupling theory for Bose-Fermi mixtures capable of treating resonant inter-species interactions while satisfying the compressibility sum rule. We show that the mixture can be stable at large interaction strengths close to resonance, in agreement with the experiment but at odds with the widely used perturbation theory. We also calculate the sound velocity of the Bose gas in the $^{133}$Cs-$^6$Li mixture, again finding good agreement with the experimental observations both at weak and strong interactions. A central ingredient of our theory is the generalization of a fermion mediated interaction to strong Bose-Fermi scatterings and to finite frequencies. This further leads to a predicted hybridization of the sound modes of the Bose and Fermi gases, which can be directly observed using Bragg spectroscopy.

description: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute exacerbation of COPD requiring hospital admission is associated with mortality and healthcare costs. The ERICA study assessed multiple clinical measures in people with COPD, including the short physical performance battery (SPPB), a simple test of physical function with 3 components (gait speed, balance and sit-to-stand). We tested the hypothesis that SPPB score would relate to risk of hospital admissions and length of hospital stay. Data were analysed from 714 of the total 729 participants (434 men and 280 women) with COPD. Data from this prospective observational longitudinal study were obtained from 4 secondary and 1 tertiary centres from England, Scotland, and Wales. The main outcome measures were to estimate the risk of hospitalisation with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD and length of hospital stay derived from hospital episode statistics (HES). In total, 291 of 714 individuals experienced 762 hospitalised AECOPD during five-year follow up. Poorer performance of SPPB was associated with both higher rate (IRR 1.08 per 1 point decrease, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.14) and increased length of stay (IRR 1.18 per 1 point decrease, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.27) for hospitalised AECOPD. For the individual sit-to-stand component of the SPPB, the association was even stronger (IRR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.26 for rate and IRR 1.32, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.49 for length of stay for hospitalised AECOPD). The SPPB, and in particular the sit-to-stand component can both evaluate the risk of H-AECOPD and length of hospital stay in COPD. The SPPB can aid in clinical decision making and when prioritising healthcare resources.

description: The local and regional hay and livestock industries have experienced considerable growth over the past few years generating multiple economic benefits and multiplier effects throughout Washington’s economy. The total value of production for livestock products ($1.35 billion) and hay ($414 million) collectively totals over $1.76 billion. Growth in these agricultural and natural resource industries and continued success depends upon access to markets and an efficient multimodal transportation system to bridge production supply sources with destination demand markets. The value of hay and livestock products to regional producers and the state’s economy is substantially diminished without an efficient transportation system. This paper investigates those transportation characteristics and requirements necessary for efficient movement of hay and livestock products to domestic and international markets. This is accomplished through the evaluation and analysis of data collected and compiled from a variety of sources, including industry level surveys to hay and livestock producers, processors and brokers. Detailed analysis regarding statewide geographic concentration and intensity of hay and livestock production is provided. In addition, the unique seasonality of shipments from production supply locations to intermediate processing locations is provided, by product form and transportation mode choice. Specific hay and livestock processing facilities are geographically identified in addition to the degree of product transformation that occurs between production and consumption. Destination demand markets are identified by product type and by season, revealing inherent transportation efficiencies associated with different product forms and the demand opportunities to international markets. This is especially noticeable for dense cubed-hay products utilizing container transport to Asia. Finally, key freight corridors and highways supporting hay and livestock shipments are geographically identified by level of intensity and type of movement. Key findings and implications were summarized, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. State transporation officials and policy makers will be better equipped to prioritize investment decisions with a more thorough understanding of the relationship between improvements in transportation efficiency and impact on the hay and livesock industry in Washington.

description: We study the forced fluid invasion of an air-filled model porous medium at constant flow rate, in 1+1 dimensions, both experimentally and theoretically. We focus on the non-local character of the interface dynamics, due to liquid conservation, and its effect on the scaling properties of the interface upon roughening. Specifically, we study the limit of large flow rates and weak capillary forces. Our theory predicts a roughening behaviour characterized at short times by a growth exponent $β_1 = 5/6$, a roughness exponent $α_1=5/2$, and a dynamic exponent $z_1=3$, and by $β_2=1/2$, $α_2=1/2$, and $z_2=1$ at long times, before saturation. This theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the experiments at long times.The ensemble of experiments, theory, and simulations provides evidence for a new universality class of interface roughening in 1+1 dimensions.

description: Backtracking search algorithms are often used to solve the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). The efficiency of backtracking search depends greatly on the variable ordering heuristics. Currently, the most commonly used heuristics are hand-crafted based on expert knowledge. In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning based approach to automatically discover new variable ordering heuristics that are better adapted for a given class of CSP instances. We show that directly optimizing the search cost is hard for bootstrapping, and propose to optimize the expected cost of reaching a leaf node in the search tree. To capture the complex relations among the variables and constraints, we design a representation scheme based on Graph Neural Network that can process CSP instances with different sizes and constraint arities. Experimental results on random CSP instances show that the learned policies outperform classical hand-crafted heuristics in terms of minimizing the search tree size, and can effectively generalize to instances that are larger than those used in training.

description: We propose a new approach to quantifying a minimum threshold value for the size of an animal population, below which that population might be categorised as having unfavourable status. Under European Union law, the concept of Favourable Conservation Status requires assessment of populations as having favourable or unfavourable status, but quantitative methods for such assessments have not yet been developed. One population threshold that is well established in conservation biology is the minimum viable population (MVP) defined as the size of a small but stable population with an acceptably low risk of extinction within a specified period. Our approach combines this small-population paradigm MVP concept with a multiplier, which is a factor by which the MVP is multiplied to allow for the risk of a sustained future decline. We demonstrate this approach using data on UK breeding bird population sizes. We used 43-year time-series data for 189 species and a qualitative assessment of population trends over almost 200 years for 229 species to examine the prevalence, duration and magnitude of sustained population declines. Our study addressed the problem of underestimation of the duration and magnitude of declines caused by short runs of monitoring data by allowing for the truncation of time series. The multiplier was derived from probability distributions of decline magnitudes within a given period, adjusted for truncation. Over a surveillance period of 100 years, we estimated that there was a 10% risk across species that a sustained population decline of at least sixteen-fold would begin. We therefore suggest that, in this case, a factor of 16 could be used as the multiplier of small-population MVPs to obtain minimum threshold population sizes for favourable status. We propose this ‘MVP Multiplier’ method as a new and robust approach to obtaining minimum threshold population sizes which integrates the concepts of small-population and declining-population paradigms. The minimum threshold value we propose is intended for use alongside a range of other measures to enable overall assessments of favourable conservation status.

description: This study examines several different empirical models of inter-modal terminal characteristics using a combination of available data from the Surface Transportation Board waybill survey and Oak Ridge National Laboratories national freight transportation database in the estimation process. Empirical models included ordinary least squares, fixed-effects models, and random effects models. The data also presented issues of heteroskedasticity and autoregressive processes which are addressed in the paper. Due to the spatial context of the intermodal facilities, the data was also evaluated for spatial interactions and autocorrelation. Substantial evidence of underlying spatial relationships in the data were observed and noted. The results of this analysis identify those empirical variables and characteristics that contribute to the economic and operational sustainability of inter-modal facilities, and the relative importance of each factor. These assessments may then be used to evaluate infrastructure investment decisions, particularly by public entities. This methodology offers an unbiased framework for identifying and evaluating public and private benefits resulting from such investments, and serves as a guide for transportation policy involving inter-modal freight.

description: This study was conducted to assess the growth performances of cage reared GIFT strain of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerling using length-weight (LW) relationship technique. Along with this, condition factor (K) of fish and pond water quality parameters were also brought under this study to have broader understanding. For LW relationship and K, a sample size of 120 fingerlings was made from randomly selected three different cages in a pond at Tarala village in Kaharole Upazila of Dinajpur District, Bangladesh. The length-weight relationship of tilapia fingerlings reared in cages managed by Adivasi people was significant. The value of correlation coefficient (r) and the coefficient of determination (r2 ) were 0.97 and 0.94 respectively. This suggests that growth of tilapia from fry to fingerling was normal in cages. The condition factor of different size group of fish was almost closed to 2, indicating fish health as satisfactory. All the water quality parameters including temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, ammonia-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen and pH were within suitable range both in cages and outside the cage in pond. About 5 phyla and 25 genera of phytoplankton from Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Rhodophyceae groups and one phylum and 5 genera of zooplankton from Rotifera group were found in cage installed in ponds. These all indicate the growth of tilapia fingerling in cages was satisfactory which was technically sound for landless adivasi households.

description: The validity of fluctuation dissipation relations in an aging system is studied in a colloidal glass during the transition from a fluid-like to a solid-like state. The evolution of the rheological and electrical properties is analyzed in the range $1Hz - 40Hz$. It is found that at the beginning of the transition the fluctuation dissipation relation is strongly violated in electrical measurements. The amplitude and the persistence time of this violation are decreasing functions of frequency. At the lowest frequencies of the measuring range it persists for times which are about 5% of the time needed to form the colloidal glass. This phenomenology is quite close to the recent theoretical predictions done for the violation of the fluctuation dissipation relation in glassy systems. In contrast in the rheological measurements no violation of the fluctuation dissipation relation is observed. The reasons of this large difference between the electrical and rheological measurements are discussed.

description: Pathogenicity of a bacterial isolate Aeromonas hydrophila recovered from naturally diseased shing fish was investigated against catfishes (Heteropneustes fossilis and Clarias batrachus), carps (Labeo rohita, Catla catla and Cirrhinus cirrhosus) and perch (Anabas testudineus) of average body weight of 20.4 g for H. fossilis, 25.6 g for C. Batrachus, 35.2 g for L. rohita, 25.7 g for C. catla, 30.5 g for C. cirrhosus and 20.3 g for A. testudineus. Two different doses viz. 6.7 × 106 and 6.7 × 105 CFU/fish were injected intramuscularly. Pathogenicity of A. hydrophila was confirmed at water temperature of 30°C by mortality of 60% to 100% of all the tested fishes within 2-11 days. Injected A. hydrophila was re-isolated from liver, kidney and intestine of all the tested fishes. The highest bacterial loads in catfishes were found to be 5.5 × 108 CFU/g in the liver of H. fossilis and 5.6 × 107 CFU/g in the intestine of C. batrachus. The lowest bacterial loads were found to be 2.2 × 102 CFU/g in the kidney of H. fossilis and 2.4 × 103 CFU/g in the liver of C. batrachus.

description: Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) or Cys-loop receptors are involved in fast synaptic signaling in the nervous system. Allosteric modulators bind to sites that are remote from the neurotransmitter binding site, but modify coupling of ligand binding to channel opening. In this study, we developed nanobodies (single domain antibodies), which are functionally active as allosteric modulators, and solved co-crystal structures of the prokaryote (Erwinia) channel ELIC bound either to a positive or a negative allosteric modulator. The allosteric nanobody binding sites partially overlap with those of small molecule modulators, including a vestibule binding site that is not accessible in some pLGICs. Using mutagenesis, we extrapolate the functional importance of the vestibule binding site to the human 5-HT3 receptor, suggesting a common mechanism of modulation in this protein and ELIC. Thus we identify key elements of allosteric binding sites, and extend drug design possibilities in pLGICs with an accessible vestibule site.

description: The effects of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) at different densities in polyculture with freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were investigated at the Fisheries Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The experiment had three treatments, viz. prawn + 1 mola m-2, prawn + 1.5 mola m-2 and prawn + 2 mola m-2 and were treated as T1, T2, and T3, respectively with three replications in each. Prawn stocking density was same (3 juvenile m-2) in all treatments. Feeds were applied twice daily for prawn. Assuming 80% survival, feeding rates were gradually reduced to 10-5% of body weight from the beginning to the last month. Water quality parameters (except transparency, chlorophyll-a) did not vary significantly (P>0.05). Weight gain, SGR (% body weight), gross and net production of prawn were not significantly different (P>0.05). Higher total production was recorded in T3 (574.61 ±39.58 kg ha-1) followed by TI (531.65±42.40 kg ha-1) and T2 (514.75±77.91 kg ha-1). It was found that addition of mola at different densities had no effects on survival and production performance of prawn. Therefore, nutrient-dense mola may be stocked as an additional species with freshwater prawn. It might be concluded that treatment T3 was better proposition for prawn-mola polyculture.

description: Background: Perioperative chemotherapy plus surgery is one recommended standard treatment for patients with resectable gastric and esophageal cancer. Even with a multimodality treatment more than half of patients will relapse following surgical resection. Patients who have a poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and have an incomplete (R1) resection or have metastatic lymph nodes in the resection specimen (N+) are especially at risk of recurrence. Current clinical practice is to continue with the same chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting as before surgery. In the phase II randomized EORTC VESTIGE trial (NCT03443856), patients with high risk resected gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma will be randomized to either adjuvant chemotherapy (as before surgery) or to immunotherapy with nivolumab and low dose ipilimumab (nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W plus Ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV Q6W for 1 year). The primary endpoint of the study is disease free survival, with secondary endpoints of overall survival, safety and toxicity, and quality of life. This is an open label randomized controlled multi-center phase-2 superiority trial. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to study arms. The trial will recruit 240 patients; recruitment commenced July 2019 and is anticipated to take 30 months. Detailed inclusion/exclusion criteria, toxicity management guidelines, and statistical plans for EORTC VESTIGE are described in the manuscript. Clinical Trial Registration: The trial is registered with www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03443856.

description: Performance limitations for implanted antennas, taking radiation efficiency as the metric, are presented. The performance limitations use a convex optimization procedure with the current density inside the implant acting as its degree of freedom. The knowledge of the limitations provides useful information in design procedure and physical insight. Ohmic losses in the antenna and surrounding tissue are both considered and quantitatively compared. The interaction of all parts of the system is taken into account in a full-wave manner via the hybrid computation method. The optimization framework is thoroughly tested on a realistic implanted antenna design that is treated both experimentally and as a model in a commercial electromagnetic solver. Good agreement is reported. To demonstrate the feasibility of developed performance limitations, they are compared to the performance of a loop and a dipole antenna showing the importance of various loss mechanisms during the design process. The trade-off between tissue loss and antenna ohmic loss indicates critical points at which the optimal solution drastically changes and the chosen topology for a specific design should be changed.

description: Spectrally and spatially varying ensembles of emitters embedded into waveguides are ever-present in both well-established and emerging technologies. If control of collective excitations can be attained, a plethora of coherent quantum dynamics and applications may be realized on-chip in the scalable paradigm of waveguide quantum electrodynamics (WQED).Here, we investigate inhomogeneously broadened ensembles embedded with subwavelength spatial extent into waveguides employed as single effective and coherent emitters. We develop a method permitting the approximate analysis and simulation of such mesoscopic systems featuring many emitters, and show how collective resonances are observable within the waveguide transmission spectrum once their linewidth exceeds the inhomogeneous line. In particular, this allows for near-unity and tailorable non-Lorentzian extinction of waveguide photons overcoming large inhomogeneous broadening present in current state-of-the-art. As a particular illustration possible in such existing experiments, we consider the classic emulation of the cavity QED (CQED) paradigm here using ensembles of rare-earth ions as coherent mirrors and qubits and demonstrate the possibility of strong coupling given existing restrictions on inhomogeneous broadening and ensemble spatial extent. This work introduces coherent ensemble dynamics in the solid-state to WQED and extends the realm to spectrally tailorable emitters.

description: A form of hereditary cerebellar ataxia has recently been described in the Norwegian Buhund dog breed. This study aimed to identify the genetic cause of the disease. Whole-genome sequencing of two Norwegian Buhund siblings diagnosed with progressive cerebellar ataxia was carried out, and sequences compared with 405 whole genome sequences of dogs of other breeds to filter benign common variants. Nine variants predicted to be deleterious segregated among the genomes in concordance with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, only one of which segregated within the breed when genotyped in additional Norwegian Buhunds. In total this variant was assessed in 802 whole genome sequences, and genotyped in an additional 505 unaffected dogs (including 146 Buhunds), and only four affected Norwegian Buhunds were homozygous for the variant. The variant identified, a T to C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (NC_006585.3:g.88890674T>C), is predicted to cause a tryptophan to arginine substitution in a highly conserved region of the potassium voltage-gated channel interacting protein KCNIP4. This gene has not been implicated previously in hereditary ataxia in any species. Evaluation of KCNIP4 protein expression through western blot and immunohistochemical analysis using cerebellum tissue of affected and control dogs demonstrated that the mutation causes a dramatic reduction of KCNIP4 protein expression. The expression of alternative KCNIP4 transcripts within the canine cerebellum, and regional differences in KCNIP4 protein expression, were characterised through RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. The voltage-gated potassium channel protein KCND3 has previously been implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia, and our findings suggest that the Kv4 channel complex KCNIP accessory subunits also have an essential role in voltage-gated potassium channel function in the cerebellum and should be investigated as potential candidate genes for cerebellar ataxia in future studies in other species.
