description: We apply the background field method and the effective action formalism to describe the four-dimensional dynamical Casimir effect. Our picture corresponds to the consideration of quantum cosmology for an expanding FRW universe (the boundary conditions act as a moving mirror) filled by a quantum massless GUT which is conformally invariant. We consider cases in which the static Casimir energy is repulsive and attractive. Inserting the simplest possible inertial term, we find, in the adiabatic (and semiclassical) approximation, the dynamical evolution of the scale factor and the dynamical Casimir stress analytically and numerically (for SU(2) super Yang-Mills theory). Alternative kinetic energy terms are explored in the Appendix.

description: As a relatively new framework suggested for core problems of software development, one important issue for Essence Framework (EF) is mapping software development practices to the EF’s conceptual domain. There are several works describing systematic procedures, however, a review of literature cannot suggest a study using formal method(s). In this paper, a software practice mapping method is proposed, which adopts and employs Concept Algebra principles in a Scrum case. The results are promising, however, more empirical evidences are needed to support the solution.

Changes in Food Preference and Taste Responses after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Creators: name: Buter, Marco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Currently, the most powerful therapy for obesity is bariatric surgery both in terms of significant weight loss and long-term efficacy. Most surgeons regard the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (gastric bypass) operation as “gold standard” for obesity treatment. However, underlying mechanisms by which gastric bypass induces and sustains weight loss are not fully understood, but include reduced hunger, increased satiety, increased energy expenditure, altered taste, as well as reduced preference for foods with a high fat and sugar content. In fact, gastric patients often report idiosyncratic changes in taste perception that involves “sweet” taste and a calorie-dense food. I herein aimed to investigate how gastric bypass reduces intake of and preference for food high in fat and sugar in rats and humans. I found that the proportion of dietary fat in gastric bypass patients was significantly reduced six years after surgery compared with patients after vertical-banded gastroplasty. In addition, gastric bypass patients had an increased sucrose detection sensitivity compared with before surgery and controls, but hedonic taste ratings of sucrose in bypass patients remained unchanged. Rats after gastric bypass exhibit a shift away from high to low fat food. When compared to sham-operated rats, gastric bypass rats did not prefer high sucrose and fat concentrations in a two bottle preference test, but preoperative sucrose exposure reduced this effect. There was no difference in appetitive or consumatory behaviour in the brief access test between the sham-operated and gastric bypass rats. An oral gavage of 1 ml corn oil in gastric bypass rats induced conditioned taste aversion which was also demonstrated after exogenous administration of the GLP-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 (2 μg/kg intraperitoneal) in unoperated rats. These findings suggest that an altered food preference may contribute to long-term maintained weight loss after gastric bypass. Postingestive effects resulting in conditioned taste aversion may partially explain this observation.
Measuring the Acceleration of Free Fall with an Atom Chip BEC Interferometer
Creators: name: Baumgartner, Florian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: We show that a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) interferometer on an atom chip is capable of making an absolute force measurement. We demonstrate this by making an absolute measurement of the gravitational acceleration g. We implement two interferometer arms by splitting a BEC into two symmetric wells using radio-frequency (rf) adiabatic potentials. The independent control of the rf currents running through the chip surface allows us to change the polarisation of the rf field and hence the orientation of the double well potential. Tilting of the system with respect to the horizontal introduces an energy difference Δ V and the relative phase between the BECs starts to evolve. After moving the atoms back to their initial position and overlapping the clouds in free fall we measure the resulting phase from the interference pattern. In order to derive a number for g from experimental results a detailed analysis and understanding of the interferometer scheme is essential. For this type of interferometer we have identified two main limitations to the accuracy of the measurement: a systematic error due to rf field gradients, and a statistical error due to phase spreading from atom-atom interactions. Taking all errors into account we expect a value for g to within 16%. The statistical uncertainty of the measurement is 5%. We have a strategy for reducing all systematic errors to less than 1%. In order to reduce the rate of phase spreading we want to squeeze the relative number of atoms between the wells in future experiments.

description: The existence and dynamics of solitons in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and attractive two-body interactions are described for two coupled atomic pseudo-spin components with slowly and rapidly varying time-dependent Raman frequency. By varying the Raman frequency linearly in time, it was shown that ordinary nonlinear Schrödinger-type bright solitons can be converted to striped bright solitons and vice versa. The internal Josephson oscillations between atom-number of the coupled soliton components, and the corresponding center-of-mass motion, are studied for different parameter configurations. In this case, a mechanism to control the soliton parameters is proposed by considering parametric resonances, which can emerge when using time-varying Raman frequencies. Full numerical simulations confirm variational analysis predictions when applied to the region where regular solitons are expected. In the limit of high frequencies, the system is described by a time-averaged Gross-Pitaevskii formalism with renormalized nonlinear and SOC parameters and modified phase-dependent nonlinearities. By comparing full-numerical simulations with averaged results, we have also studied the lower limits for the frequency of Raman oscillations in order to obtain stable soliton solutions.

description: We establish optimal error bounds on time-splitting methods for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with low regularity potential and typical power-type nonlinearity $ f(ρ) = ρ^σ$, where $ ρ:=|ψ|^2 $ is the density with $ ψ$ the wave function and $ σ> 0 $ the exponent of the nonlinearity. For the first-order Lie-Trotter time-splitting method, optimal $ L^2 $-norm error bound is proved for $L^\infty$-potential and $ σ> 0 $, and optimal $H^1$-norm error bound is obtained for $ W^{1, 4} $-potential and $ σ\geq 1/2 $. For the second-order Strang time-splitting method, optimal $ L^2 $-norm error bound is established for $H^2$-potential and $ σ\geq 1 $, and optimal $H^1$-norm error bound is proved for $H^3$-potential and $ σ\geq 3/2 $ (or $σ= 1$). Compared to those error estimates of time-splitting methods in the literature, our optimal error bounds either improve the convergence rates under the same regularity assumptions or significantly relax the regularity requirements on potential and nonlinearity for optimal convergence orders. A key ingredient in our proof is to adopt a new technique called \textit{regularity compensation oscillation} (RCO), where low frequency modes are analyzed by phase cancellation, and high frequency modes are estimated by regularity of the solution. Extensive numerical results are reported to confirm our error estimates and to demonstrate that they are sharp.

description: We propose a new formulation of the space-time interpretation of the $c=1$ matrix model. Our formulation uses the well-known leg-pole factor that relates the matrix model amplitudes to that of the 2-dimensional string theory, but includes fluctuations around the fermi vacuum on {\sl both sides} of the inverted harmonic oscillator potential of the double-scaled model, even when the fluctuations are small and confined entirely within the asymptotes in the phase plane. We argue that including fluctuations on both sides of the potential is essential for a consistent interpretation of the leg-pole transformed theory as a theory of space-time gravity. We reproduce the known results for the string theory tree level scattering amplitudes for flat space and linear dilaton background as a special case. We show that the generic case corresponds to more general space-time backgrounds. In particular, we identify the parameter corresponding to background metric perturbation in string theory (black hole mass) in terms of the matrix model variables. Possible implications of our work for a consistent nonperturbative definition of string theory as well as for quantized gravity and black-hole physics are discussed.

description: The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and inflammation, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate whether p38 MAPK contributes to the pathogenesis of T2DM. 6-week-old female db/db mice were randomly assigned to Dmo and Dmi groups, and C57 mice were assigned as controls. The Dmi group was gavaged with the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 for 9 weeks, and the effects on β cell dysfunction and apoptosis were investigated. db/db mice showed higher food intake, body mass, fasting glucose, and plasma insulin levels than C57 mice. After SB203580 administration, blood glucose was significantly lower. HOMA β and HOMA IR were improved. Islet mRNA expression levels of the ERS markers were lower. P38 MAPK inhibition reduced blood glucose and improved β cell function, at least in part by reducing β cell apoptosis.

description: Due to the nature of gravity, non-linear effects are left imprinted in the quasi-normal modes generated in the ringdown phase of the merger of two black holes. We offer an analytical treatment of the quasi-normal modes at second-order in black hole perturbation theory which takes advantage from the fact that the non-linear sources are peaked around the light ring. As a byproduct, we describe why the amplitude of the second-order mode relative to the square of the first-order amplitude depends only weakly on the initial condition of the problem.

Fis1 and Bap31 Bridge the Mitochondria/ER Interface to Establish a Platform for Apoptosis Induction
Creators: name: Iwasawa, Ryota
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two organelles that critically contribute to apoptosis induction. It is established that they communicate and several factors for this have been identified. However, how cell death signals are transmitted from mitochondria to ER is unknown. During my PhD, I found that the mitochondrial fission protein Fis1 conveys an apoptosis signal from mitochondria to the ER by physically interacting with Bap31, which facilitates its cleavage into the pro-apoptotic p20Bap31 fragment. Exogenous apoptosis inducers likewise use this signalling route and induce the procession of Bap31. Initiator caspases are the apical apoptosis proteases that comprise protein-protein interaction domains in their N-terminal prodomains, which allow them to aggregate through adaptor proteins. Procaspase-8 is one of the most prominent initiator caspase; yet there are only two known procaspase-8-activating complexes identified to date: DISC and Hip1/Hippi complex. The cleavage of Bap31 is reported to be mediated by procaspase-8. I have found that procaspase-8 is recruited to the Fis1-Bap31 platform early during apoptosis. Apoptosis stimulation induces the dimerization of Bap31 and an in-depth dissection of this tripartite protein complex revealed that the association between procaspase-8 and the Fis1-Bap31 complex is dependent on the vDED domain present in Bap31. This signalling pathway emanating from Fis1 or caused by the application of exogenous apoptosis signals eventually results in calcium release from the ER leading to cytosolic calcium elevation. Additionally, production of the proapoptotic p20Bap31 fragment was found to be necessary for this event. The released calcium ions are subsequently taken up by mitochondria to induce mitochondrial dysfunction via the permeability transition pore thereby establishing a feedback loop from the ER that activates mitochondria for apoptosis execution. Hence, the Fis1-Bap31 complex, which we named ARCosome, bridges two critical organelles for apoptosis signalling and serves as a novel platform to activate the initiator procaspase-8.

description: We study the physical properties of a length-torsion functional which encodes the holographic entanglement entropy for 1+1 dimensional theories with chiral anomalies. Previously, we have shown that its extremal curves correspond to the mysterious Mathisson's helical motions for the centroids of spinning bodies. We explore the properties of these helices in domain-wall backgrounds using both analytic and numerical techniques. Using these insights we derive an entropic $c$-function $c_{\mathrm{Hel}}(\ell)$ which can be succinctly expressed in terms of Noether charges conserved along these helical motions. While for generic values of the anomaly there is some ambiguity in the definition of $c_{\mathrm{Hel}}(\ell)$, we argue that at the chiral point this ambiguity is absent.

description: This creative capstone project aimed to raise awareness and encourage community action for the preservation of Mount Zion Historical Church in Athens, Ohio, among Ohio University students and the local city community, utilizing photo advocacy. The project organized a photo exhibition titled "Save Mount Zion Church" in four branches of the Athens Public Libraries, chosen as gathering points for the local community. Additionally, the project exhibited these photos during cultural events, including those attended by students. Furthermore, a virtual online exhibition was conducted to reach the local online community unable to access physical exhibitions. The primary objective of these exhibitions was to raise awareness about Mount Zion Baptist Church's historical significance within Black American history and underscore its urgent need for preservation to prevent complete or partial loss due to neglect. Concurrently, the project aimed to encourage community solidarity by fostering donations and increasing social media engagement to support the church's preservation. To evaluate the effectiveness of these exhibitions, data were collected through interview of the Mount Zion Preservation Society Head of communication Dr Tee Ford Ahmed. Additionally, surveys were administered to exhibition attendees to measure their intentions regarding future actions, including donations and social media following, in support of the church's preservation.

description: We propose a random matrix model that interpolates between the chiral random matrix ensembles and the chiral Poisson ensemble. By mapping this model on a non-interacting Fermi-gas we show that for energy differences less than a critical energy $E_c$ the spectral correlations are given by chiral Random Matrix Theory whereas for energy differences larger than $E_c$ the number variance shows a linear dependence on the energy difference with a slope that depends on the parameters of the model. If the parameters are scaled such that the slope remains fixed in the thermodynamic limit, this model provides a description of QCD Dirac spectra in the universality class of critical statistics. In this way a good description of QCD Dirac spectra for gauge field configurations given by a liquid of instantons is obtained.

Senescence impairs successful reprogramming to pluripotent stem cells
Creators: name: Banito, Ana Cristina Tome Moita
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by overexpression of combinations of transcription factors such as Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. However, reprogramming is slow and stochastic, suggesting the existence of mechanisms that limit its efficiency. Senescence is an irreversible G1 cell cycle arrest elicited by replicative exhaustion or in response to stresses such as DNA damage, or aberrant expression of oncogenes. The arrest observed during senescence is implemented mainly through activation of p53 and the upregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, p16INK4a and p21Cip1. In this work the relation between the process of reprogramming to iPS cells and senescence was investigated. The expression of the 4 reprogramming factors from a polycistronic vector in human fibroblasts (IMR90) was shown to induce cell cycle arrest and upregulation of p53, p16INK4a and p21Cip1. Reprogramming-induced senescence (RIS) results from the activation of a DNA damage response, and chromatin remodeling of the INK4a/ARF locus, as shown by a decrease in the levels of the H3K27me3 modification following expression of the reprogramming factors. RIS resembles a stress response, which parallels oncogene-induced senescence, however context-dependent differences may also contribute as shown by the fact that ES cells-specific miRNAs can partially bypass RIS. Additionally when expressed individually, each reprogramming factor was shown to have a negative effect over the proliferation of somatic cells. Since reprogramming initially triggers a stress response with characteristics of senescence it may act as an initial barrier limiting the efficiency of the process. Indeed, ablation of different senescence effectors improved the efficiency of reprogramming, both in mouse and human cells. Additionally, the polycomb protein CBX7 was also shown to increase reprogramming efficiency in a process that may partially dependent on repression of the INK4a/ARF locus. The senescence response to expression of reprogramming factors uncovers an important barrier to induced pluripotency but also highlights the importance of tumour suppressor pathways in preventing dedifferentiation during tumorigenesis. Identification of RIS mediators may help to understand this connection and provide safer approaches to increase reprogramming efficiency.

description: Federated Learning (FL) requires frequent exchange of model parameters, which leads to long communication delay, especially when the network environments of clients vary greatly. Moreover, the parameter server needs to wait for the slowest client (i.e., straggler, which may have the largest model size, lowest computing capability or worst network condition) to upload parameters, which may significantly degrade the communication efficiency. Commonly-used client selection methods such as partial client selection would lead to the waste of computing resources and weaken the generalization of the global model. To tackle this problem, along a different line, in this paper, we advocate the approach of model parameter dropout instead of client selection, and accordingly propose a novel framework of Federated learning scheme with Differential parameter Dropout (FedDD). FedDD consists of two key modules: dropout rate allocation and uploaded parameter selection, which will optimize the model parameter uploading ratios tailored to different clients' heterogeneous conditions and also select the proper set of important model parameters for uploading subject to clients' dropout rate constraints. Specifically, the dropout rate allocation is formulated as a convex optimization problem, taking system heterogeneity, data heterogeneity, and model heterogeneity among clients into consideration. The uploaded parameter selection strategy prioritizes on eliciting important parameters for uploading to speedup convergence. Furthermore, we theoretically analyze the convergence of the proposed FedDD scheme. Extensive performance evaluations demonstrate that the proposed FedDD scheme can achieve outstanding performances in both communication efficiency and model convergence, and also possesses a strong generalization capability to data of rare classes.
Evaluating the Role of green infrastructure in Indiana municipalities’ climate action plans: strategies, metrics, and implementation plans

description: As a result of climate change, severe storm events and flooding have increased in frequency and intensity, posing significant threats to human health, environmental stability, and existing infrastructure. At the local government level, an increasing number of municipalities have adopted Climate Action Plans (CAPs) as a decentralized approach for strengthening climate adaptation and resilience efforts within their communities. Unlike regulatory-required reporting efforts, CAPs provide a proactive and holistic approach to urban planning efforts, integrating interdisciplinary strategies across various sector types, such as energy, transportation, wastewater, and natural resources. Within CAPs, green infrastructure (GI) is often recognized as a valuable nature-based solution with ecological, social, and economic benefits that also support climate adaptation, mitigation, and community resilience. This study explores the integration of GI initiatives within municipality-published CAPs across the state of Indiana, United States (U.S.), including an evaluation of how municipalities contextualize, prioritize, and plan to implement and track GI initiatives. The findings of this study indicate that while Indiana municipalities have increasingly proposed GI initiatives within their climate action planning efforts, opportunities to establish clearer performance metrics, strengthen implementation strategies, and support long-term maintenance of GI initiatives remain. The identification of growth areas within CAP development, particularly with regards to GI, provides an opportunity to enhance consistency between CAPs and strengthen accountability through greater specificity, ultimately supporting the translation of GI goals into measurable actions.

description: CA-SHA-1991 (the Tanya Site) is located along Olney Creek in the Sacramento Valley of Shasta County, California. The local environment is primarily oak woodland interspersed with areas of manzanita chaparral. This site is believed to be a late prehistoric period occupation associated with the Wintu tribe. One liter of sediment was collected in 1996 and is associated with the floor of a large, circular dance or assembly house. This sample was sent to PaleoResearch Institute for flotation and macrofloral analysis of seeds and charcoal.
Elasticity bounds from Effective Field Theory

description: Phonons in solid materials can be understood as the Goldstone bosons of the spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries. As such their low energy dynamics are greatly constrained and can be captured by standard effective field theory (EFT) methods. In particular, knowledge of the nonlinear stress-strain curves completely fixes the full effective Lagrangian at leading order in derivatives. We attempt to illustrate the potential of effective methods focusing on the so-called hyperelastic materials, which allow large elastic deformations. We find that the self-consistency of the EFT imposes a number of bounds on physical quantities, mainly on the maximum strain and maximum stress that can be supported by the medium. In particular, for stress-strain relations that at large deformations are characterized by a power-law behaviour $σ(\varepsilon)\sim \varepsilon^ν$, the maximum strain exhibits a sharp correlation with the exponent $ν$.

Growth Models And The Question Of Universality Classes
Creators: name: Hagston, W. E.
name: Ketterl, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the past many papers have appeared which simulated surface growth with different growth models. The results showed that, if models differed only slightly in their `growth' rules, the resulting surfaces may belong to different universality classes, i.e. they are described by different differential equations. In the present paper we describe a mapping of ``growth rules'' to differential operators and give plausibility arguments for this mapping. We illustrate the validity of our theory by applying it to published results.

A simple and efficient solver for self-gravity in the DISPATCH astrophysical simulation framework
Creators: name: Ramsey, J. P.
name: Haugbølle, T.
name: Nordlund, Å.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a simple and effective algorithm for solving Poisson's equation in the context of self-gravity within the DISPATCH astrophysical fluid framework. The algorithm leverages the fact that DISPATCH stores multiple time slices and uses asynchronous time-stepping to produce a scheme that does not require any explicit global communication or sub-cycling, only the normal, local communication between patches and the iterative solution to Poisson's equation. We demonstrate that the implementation is suitable for both collections of patches of a single resolution and for hierarchies of adaptively resolved patches. Benchmarks are presented that demonstrate the accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme.

Noncommutative Solitons

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find classically stable solitons (instantons) in odd (even) dimensional scalar noncommutative field theories whose scalar potential, $V(\ph)$, has at least two minima. These solutions are bubbles of the false vacuum whose size is set by the scale of noncommutativity. Our construction uses the correspondence between non-commutative fields and operators on a single particle Hilbert space. In the case of noncommutative gauge theories we note that expanding around a simple solution shifts away the kinetic term and results in a purely quartic action with linearly realised gauge symmetries.
