A modular study of the minute virus of mice non-structural protein 1: Activation, dimerization, and interaction
Creators: name: Harris, Colin E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: NS1, the major nonstructural parvoviral protein of the Minute Virus of Mice is a multifunctional protein responsible for many of the functions needed for viral replication. In this thesis, a modular approach was taken to resolve and isolate the mechanism for the activation of transcription, the oligomerization of NS1, and interactions with host cell cofactors. NS1 has been shown to transactivate the P38 promoter, used to express the structural protein, as well as its own strong promoter, P4. To identify the mechanism of activation, and to map the region of NS1 responsible for transactivation, NS1 and various deletions of NS1 were cloned inframe with the GAL4 DNA binding domain. These constructs were cotransfected into COS-7 or LA9 cells with a plasmid containing five GAL4 recognition sites and the EIB TATA box upstream of the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase reporter gene. Using this system, NS1 was shown to directly activate transcription through its 129 carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues. Any deletion from the carboxyl-terminal, including one with as few as 8 amino acids, completely abolished transactivation. The full length NS1 fused to GAL4 showed strong activation of the GAL4 promoter in LA9 cells while in COS-7 cells, deletion of residues 1 to 276 of NS1 was required to allow full transactivation by the GAL4DB-NS1 constructs. A yeast two-hybrid system was used to identify protein-protein interactions between NS1 and other proteins. Using this system, NS1 was shown to dimerize when expressed in yeast. Only an almost complete NS1 (1-638) bait was able to interact with the full length NS1, suggesting that there are multiple regions of the protein required for interaction, that the oligomerization domain is very large, or that the interaction domain is conformation dependent which is disrupted by the larger deletions. The two-hybrid system was also used to screen a HeLa cDNA library to identify host cell proteins that associate with NS1. A single partial HeLa cDNA clone was isolated that interacts with the amino-terminal of NS1 (1-276). More sequence was predicted from hEST data and the cDNA was estimated to be at least 2221 base pairs long. The cDNA has not previously been characterized but it contains four ribonucleoprotein (RNP) domains as well as a highly repetitive carboxyl-terminal region. A closely related mouse cDNA is predicted from murine EST data which encodes a protein with only a single amino acid residue change from the human protein. The protein is predicted to be a polynucleotide binding protein of approximately 60 kDa. There are many possible roles for this protein during MVM replication which further work will determine.

research assessment reform

description: Event organized in collaboration with the Göttingen Campus Postdoc Network "Dialogue about how to avoid predators and understanding the changing landscape of research assessment", 10 September 2024, online.

Researchers increasingly face challenges when it comes to selecting high-quality journals. This issue is particularly important for early career researchers because individual reputations, funding and career paths can be jeopardized by publishing in predatory or sub-optimal journals. 

This online event in English consisted of an introduction by Professor Bernhard Brümmer, Göttingen University’s Vice President for Research and Sustainability, followed by a presentation by Dr Birgit Schmidt, Göttingen State and University Library (SUB). There was an open discussion about how best to select publications to promote your career, as well as the currently much-debated topic of research assessment reform, which aims to move away from a “publish or perish” culture. Participants who wished to prepare for the event were encouraged to read the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.

The following presentations were held: 

Journal quality: The good, the bad and the in-between - Birgit Schmidt, University of Göttingen

Introduction: The Research Assessment Reform - Bernhard Brümmer, University of Göttingen

The event built on the event "Georgia-Augusta-Dialog: Quality before quantity - publication strategies, "publish or perish" and the current reform of research evaluation" which took place on 27 June 2024. The follow-up event was organised with postdocs and PhD researchers across the Göttingen Campus in mind.

Further activities in support of the on-going reform of research assessment are under development.

description: Ordinal Patterns are a time-series data analysis tool used as a preliminary step to construct the Permutation Entropy which itself allows the same characterization of dynamics as chaotic or regular as more theoretical constructs such as the Lyapunov exponent. However ordinal patterns store strictly more information than Permutation Entropy or Lyapunov exponents. We present results working with the Duffing oscillator showing that ordinal patterns reflect changes in dynamical symmetry invisible to other measures, even Permutation Entropy. We find that these changes in symmetry at given parameter values are correlated with a change in stability at neighboring parameters which suggests a novel predictive capability for this analysis technique.

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: A two-dimensional rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic plus quartic trap is expected to have unusual vortex states that do not occur in a pure harmonic trap. At a critical rotation speed $Ω_h$, a central hole appears in the condensate, and at some faster rotation speed $Ω_g$, the system undergoes a transition to a giant vortex state with pure irrotational flow. Using a time-dependent variational analysis, we study the behavior of an annular condensate with a single concentric ring of vortices. The transition to a giant vortex state is investigated by comparing the energy of the two equilibrium states (the ring of vortices and the giant vortex) and also by studying the dynamical stability of small excitation modes of the ring of vortices.

description: We have considered the $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model in two dimensions, with an additional Ising \nnn interaction. Antiferromagnetic \nnn interactions will lead to frustration, and the system responds with flipping the spins down in the $xy$ plane. For large next nearest neighbour coupling the system will order in a striped phase along the z axis, this phase is reached through a first order transition. We have considered two generalizations of this model, one with random \nnn interactions, and one with an enlarged unit cell, where only half of the atoms have \nnn interactions. In both cases the transition is softened to a second order transition separating two ordered states. In the latter case we have estimated the quantum critical exponent $β\approx 0.25$. These two cases then represent candidate examples of deconfined quantum criticality.

description: In this work, we have searched quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the 15 GHz light curve of the FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 monitored by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) 40 m telescope during the period from January 9,2008 to May 9,2019, using the weighted wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) and the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram (LSP) techniques. This is the first time to search for periodic radio signal in the FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 by these two methods. All two methods consistently reveal a repeating signal with a periodicity of 3.38$\pm$ 0.8 years ($>$99.7\% confidence level). In order to determining the significance of the periods, the false alarm probability method was used, and a large number of Monte Carlo simulations were performed. As possible explanations, we discuss a number of scenarios including the thermal instability of thin disks scenario, the spiral jet scenario and the binary supermassive black hole scenario, we expected that the binary black hole scenario, where the QPO is caused by the precession of the binary black holes, is the most likely explanation. FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 thus could be a good binary black hole candidate. In the binary black hole scenario, the distance between the primary black hole and the secondary black hole is about $1.71\times 10^{16}$ cm.

description: Vortex-flows exist across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales in the solar atmosphere. Small-scale vortices have been proposed to play an important role in energy transport in the solar atmosphere. However, their physical properties remain poorly understood due to the limited spatial resolution of the observations. We aim to explore and analyze the physical properties of small-scale vortices inside magnetic flux tubes using numerical simulations, and to investigate whether they contribute to heating the chromosphere in a plage region. Using the three-dimensional (3D) radiative magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation code 'MURaM', we perform numerical simulations of a unipolar solar plage region. To detect and isolate vortices, we use the Swirling Strength criterion and select the locations where the fluid is rotating with an angular velocity greater than a certain threshold. We concentrate on small-scale as they are the strongest and carry most of the energy. We explore the spatial profiles of physical quantities viz. density, horizontal velocity, etc. inside these vortices. Moreover, to apprehend their general characteristics, a statistical investigation is performed. Magnetic flux tubes have a complex filamentary substructure harbouring an abundance of small-scale vortices. At the interfaces between vortices strong current sheets are formed that may dissipate and heat the solar chromosphere. Statistically, vortices have higher densities and higher temperatures than the average values at the same geometrical height in the chromosphere. We conclude that small-scale vortices are ubiquitous in solar plage regions, and they are denser and hotter structures that contribute to chromospheric heating, possibly by dissipation of the current sheets formed at their interfaces.

description: Infrared ~5--35 um spectra for 40 solar-mass T Tauri stars and 7 intermediate-mass Herbig Ae stars with circumstellar disks were obtained using the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the c2d IRS survey. This work complements prior spectroscopic studies of silicate infrared emission from disks, which were focused on intermediate-mass stars, with observations of solar-mass stars limited primarily to the 10 um region. The observed 10 and 20 um silicate feature strengths/shapes are consistent with source-to-source variations in grain size. A large fraction of the features are weak and flat, consistent with um-sized grains indicating fast grain growth (from 0.1--1.0 um in radius). In addition, approximately half of the T Tauri star spectra show crystalline silicate features near 28 and 33 um indicating significant processing when compared to interstellar grains. A few sources show large 10-to-20 um ratios and require even larger grains emitting at 20 um than at 10 um. This size difference may arise from the difference in the depth into the disk probed by the two silicate emission bands in disks where dust settling has occurred. The 10 um feature strength vs. shape trend is not correlated with age or Halpha equivalent width, suggesting that some amount of turbulent mixing and regeneration of small grains is occurring. The strength vs. shape trend is related to spectral type, however, with M stars showing significantly flatter 10 um features (larger grain sizes) than A/B stars. The connection between spectral type and grain size is interpreted in terms of the variation in the silicate emission radius as a function of stellar luminosity, but could also be indicative of other spectral-type dependent factors (e.g, X-rays, UV radiation, stellar/disk winds, etc.).

description: Mislabeled samples are ubiquitous in real-world datasets as rule-based or expert labeling is usually based on incorrect assumptions or subject to biased opinions. Neural networks can "memorize" these mislabeled samples and, as a result, exhibit poor generalization. This poses a critical issue in fault detection applications, where not only the training but also the validation datasets are prone to contain mislabeled samples. In this work, we propose a novel two-step framework for robust training with label noise. In the first step, we identify outliers (including the mislabeled samples) based on the update in the hypothesis space. In the second step, we propose different approaches to modifying the training data based on the identified outliers and a data augmentation technique. Contrary to previous approaches, we aim at finding a robust solution that is suitable for real-world applications, such as fault detection, where no clean, "noise-free" validation dataset is available. Under an approximate assumption about the upper limit of the label noise, we significantly improve the generalization ability of the model trained under massive label noise.

description: The noise properties of pump currents through an open double quantum dot setup with non-adiabatic ac driving are investigated. Driving frequencies close to the internal resonances of the double dot-system mark the optimal working points at which the pump current assumes a maximum while its noise power possesses a remarkably low minimum. A rotating-wave approximation provides analytical expressions for the current and its noise power and allows to optimize the noise characteristics. The analytical results are compared to numerical results from a Floquet transport theory.

D5.2 Interactive AR PBIS component
Creators: name: ARETE
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This deliverable reflects the work conducted for Task 5.3 “Development of an AR Interactive Components for PBS” involving the development of the ARETE PBIS-AR mobile app from the basic principles to the software prototype. The deliverable lays the foundations for introducing AR into a new teaching and learning context based on the teaching of human behaviour according to the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Intervention and Support (SWPBIS) theoretical framework. This deliverable is based on PBIS as a practical preventative approach for decreasing problem behavior and improving instruction of expected behaviors, organization of consequence systems, redesign of environmental settings, and use of evidence based practices (Dunlap, Horner, Sailor, & Sugai, 2009). The main aim of this report is to introduce the ARETE PBIS-AR mobile app and provide an overview of the development process integrating Augmented Reality with the requirements of PBIS practice as identified in the deliverable D5.1.
 After a short reference to SWPBIS, the deliverable provides the vision underlying the development of the PBIS-AR app. The concept is based on the definition of a new theoretical paradigm that integrates Augmented Reality and behavioural learning creating an augmented space that we have called Augmented Reality Behavioural Learning Space (AR-BLS). The AR- BLS can be defined as a real learning space enriched with AR Behavioural Learning Resources (AR-BLR) that the teacher can create and use along the different phases of teaching, practice and reinforce according to the structure of a typical behavioural lesson (chapter 2). The concept inspires the design of an app for students enabling the use of AR-BLR linked to the school settings, values and expected behaviours. According to the planned activities of task 5.3, the deliverable introduces the graphic designing and development of AR objects for the PBIS-AR app (chapter 3). Within this chapter, the assets (characters, objects and basic animations) needed for creating the behavioural routines are described. Chapter 4 of the deliverable reports the presentation of the PBIS-AR app architecture as a component of the ARETE ecosystem. The functional and non-functional requirements are introduced in line with the architecture identifying the components and the functionalities that compose it, and the teaching process that the system will support. Finally, the use case model and wireframe of the application user interface are documented within the chapter as well.

description: In this paper, we establish several different characterizations of the vanishing mean oscillation space associated with Neumann Laplacian $Δ_N$, written ${\rm VMO}_{Δ_N}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We first describe it with the classical ${\rm VMO}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and certain ${\rm VMO}$ on the half-spaces. Then we demonstrate that ${\rm VMO}_{Δ_N}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is actually ${\rm BMO}_{Δ_N}(\mathbb{R}^n)$-closure of the space of the smooth functions with compact supports. Beyond that, it can be characterized in terms of compact commutators of Riesz transforms and fractional integral operators associated to the Neumann Laplacian. Additionally, by means of the functional analysis, we obtain the duality between certain ${\rm VMO}$ and the corresponding Hardy spaces on the half-spaces. Finally, we present an useful approximation for ${\rm BMO}$ functions on the space of homogeneous type, which can be applied to our argument and otherwhere.

description: Purpose: To compare the segmentation and detection performance of a deep learning model trained on a database of human-labelled clinical diffusion-weighted (DW) stroke lesions to a model trained on the same database enhanced with synthetic DW stroke lesions. Methods: In this institutional review board approved study, a stroke database of 962 cases (mean age 65+/-17 years, 255 males, 449 scans with DW positive stroke lesions) and a normal database of 2,027 patients (mean age 38+/-24 years,1088 females) were obtained. Brain volumes with synthetic DW stroke lesions were produced by warping the relative signal increase of real strokes to normal brain volumes. A generic 3D U-Net was trained on four different databases to generate four different models: (a) 375 neuroradiologist-labeled clinical DW positive stroke cases(CDB);(b) 2,000 synthetic cases(S2DB);(c) CDB+2,000 synthetic cases(CS2DB); or (d) CDB+40,000 synthetic cases(CS40DB). The models were tested on 20%(n=192) of the cases of the stroke database, which were excluded from the training set. Segmentation accuracy was characterized using Dice score and lesion volume of the stroke segmentation, and statistical significance was tested using a paired, two-tailed, Student's t-test. Detection sensitivity and specificity was compared to three neuroradiologists. Results: The performance of the 3D U-Net model trained on the CS40DB(mean Dice 0.72) was better than models trained on the CS2DB (0.70,P <0.001) or the CDB(0.65,P<0.001). The deep learning model was also more sensitive (91%[89%-93%]) than each of the three human readers(84%[81%-87%],78%[75%-81%],and 79%[76%-82%]), but less specific(75%[72%-78%] vs for the three human readers (96%[94%-97%],92%[90%-94%] and 89%[86%-91%]). Conclusion: Deep learning training for segmentation and detection of DW stroke lesions was significantly improved by enhancing the training set with synthetic lesions.

The one dimensional Kondo lattice model at partial band filling

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: The Kondo lattice model introduced in 1977 describes a lattice of localized magnetic moments interacting with a sea of conduction electrons. It is one of the most important canonical models in the study of a class of rare earth compounds, called heavy fermion systems, and as such has been studied intensively by a wide variety of techniques for more than a quarter of a century. This review focuses on the one dimensional case at partial band filling, in which the number of conduction electrons is less than the number of localized moments. The theoretical understanding, based on the bosonized solution, of the conventional Kondo lattice model is presented in great detail. This review divides naturally into two parts, the first relating to the description of the formalism, and the second to its application. After an all-inclusive description of the bosonization technique, the bosonized form of the Kondo lattice hamiltonian is constructed in detail. Next the double-exchange ordering, Kondo singlet formation, the RKKY interaction and spin polaron formation are described comprehensively. An in-depth analysis of the phase diagram follows, with special emphasis on the destruction of the ferromagnetic phase by spin-flip disorder scattering, and of recent numerical results. The results are shown to hold for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic Kondo lattice. The general exposition is pedagogic in tone.

description: We have used catalogues from several Galactic plane surveys and dedicated observations to investigate the relationship between various maser species and Galactic star forming clumps, as identified by the ATLASGAL survey. The maser transitions of interest are the 6.7 & 12.2 GHz methanol masers, 22.2 GHz water masers, and the masers emitting in the four ground-state hyperfine structure transitions of hydroxyl. We find clump association rates for the water, hydroxyl and methanol masers to be 56, 39 and 82 per cent respectively, within the Galactic longitude range of 60° > $l$ > -60°. We investigate the differences in physical parameters between maser associated clumps and the full ATLASGAL sample, and find that clumps coincident with maser emission are more compact with increased densities and luminosities. However, we find the physical conditions within the clumps are similar for the different maser species. A volume density threshold of $n$(H$_{2}$) > 10$^{4.1}$ cm$^{-3}$ for the 6.7 GHz methanol maser found in our previous study is shown to be consistent across for all maser species investigated. We find limits that are required for the production of maser emission to be 500 L$_{\odot}$ and 6 M$_{\odot}$ respectively. The evolutionary phase of maser associated clumps is investigated using the L/M ratio of clumps coincident with maser emission, and these have similar L/M ranges (~10$^{0.2}$ - 10$^{2.7}$ L$_{\odot}$/M$_{\odot}$) regardless of the associated transitions. This implies that the conditions required for the production of maser emission only occur during a relatively narrow period during a star's evolution. Lower limits of the statistical lifetimes for each maser species are derived, ranging from ~0.4 - 2 x 10$^{4}$ yrs and are in good agreement with the "straw man" evolutionary model previously presented.

Skyrme model and Isospin Chemical Potential

description: We discuss the stability of the Skyrmion solution in the presence of a finite isospin chemical potential $μ$. Solving numerically the mass of the Skyrmion as function of $μ$, we find a critical value $μ_c=222.8$ MeV where the Skyrmion mass vanishes. We compare the exact numerical treatment with an analytical discussion based on a special shape for the profile of the Skyrmion due to Atiyah and Manton. The extension of this ansatz for finite $μ$ works quite well for $μ<121$ MeV. Then, for small values of $μ$, where the analytical approach is valid, we consider the possibility of having an angular deformation for the Skyrmionic profile, which is possible for finite values of $μ$. This is however, a small effect. Finally we introduce finite temperature corrections, which strength the instability induced by the chemical potential, finding the dependence of the critical temperature on $μ$.

description: From biology to social science, the functioning of a wide range of systems is the result of elementary interactions which involve more than two constituents, so that their description has unavoidably to go beyond simple pairwise-relationships. Simplicial complexes are therefore the mathematical objects providing a faithful representation of such systems. We here present a complete theory of synchronization of $D$-dimensional oscillators obeying an extended Kuramoto model, and interacting by means of 1- and 2- simplices. Not only our theory fully describes and unveils the intimate reasons and mechanisms for what was observed so far with pairwise interactions, but it also offers predictions for a series of rich and novel behaviors in simplicial structures, which include: a) a discontinuous de-synchronization transition at positive values of the coupling strength for all dimensions, b) an extra discontinuous transition at zero coupling for all odd dimensions, and c) the occurrence of partially synchronized states at $D=2$ (and all odd $D$) even for negative values of the coupling strength, a feature which is inherently prohibited with pairwise-interactions. Furthermore, our theory untangles several aspects of the emergent behavior: the system can never fully synchronize from disorder, and is characterized by an extreme multi-stability, in that the asymptotic stationary synchronized states depend always on the initial conditions. All our theoretical predictions are fully corroborated by extensive numerical simulations. Our results elucidate the dramatic and novel effects that higher-order interactions may induce in the collective dynamics of ensembles of coupled $D$-dimensional oscillators, and can therefore be of value and interest for the understanding of many phenomena observed in nature, like for instance the swarming and/or flocking processes unfolding in three or more dimensions.

description: By driving photoassociation transitions we form electronically excited molecules (Na$_2^*$) from ultra-cold (50-300 $μ$K) Na atoms. Using a second laser to drive transitions from the excited state to a level in the molecular ground state, we are able to split the photoassociation line and observe features with a width smaller than the natural linewidth of the excited molecular state. The quantum interference which gives rise to this effect is analogous to that which leads to electromagnetically induced transparency in three level atomic $Λ$ systems, but here one of the ground states is a pair of free atoms while the other is a bound molecule. The linewidth is limited primarily by the finite temperature of the atoms.

Deterritorializing Chinese Calligraphy: Wang Dongling and Martin Wehmer’s Visual Dialogue (2010)
Creators: name: Hertel, Shao-Lan
Publisher: name: The Journal of Transcultural Studies
Year: 2021

description: This article investigates an artistic collaboration between the pioneering modernist Chinese calligrapher Wang Dongling and German conceptual painter Martin Wehmer. The project was hosted at the China Academy of Art (CAA) in 2010, with Wehmer as a visitor from Berlin’s University of the Arts. The artists co-produced Visual Dialogue, a comic-like composition of painted and written speech bubbles. I examine Visual Dialogue in order to reveal its incentives, conditions, limitations, and potential, as a collaborative project realized under institutional tutelage. Informed by critical contemporary discourses on Chinese art in a global context, picture theory, comics studies, and translation studies, I explore Visual Dialogue’s multiple textual, scriptural, and pictorial elements, alongside related epistemological issues. I argue that the artwork is polyvalent, because it is conditioned by multiple, culturally specific aesthetic and semiotic systems. My discussion ultimately aims to expose the transcultural significance of this collaboration, which is relevant to the writing of world art history, and thereby contributes to a deterritorialization of “Chinese calligraphy” in its prevalent conception as an essentialist-exceptionalist discursive field in mainland China.

The Evolution of Multicomponent Systems at High Pressures: II. The Alder-Wainwright, High-Density, Gas-Solid Phase Transition of the Hard-Sphere Fluid

description: The thermodynamic stability of the hard-sphere gas has been examined, using the formalism of scaled particle theory [SPT], and by applying explicitly the conditions of stability required by both the second and third laws of thermodynamics. The temperature and volume limits to the validity of SPT have also been examined. It is demonstrated that scaled particle theory predicts absolute limits to the stability of the fluid phase of the hard-sphere system, at all temperatures within its range of validity. Because scaled particle theory describes fluids equally well as dilute gases or dense liquids, the limits set upon the system stability by SPT must represent limits for the existence of the fluid phase and transition to the solid. The reduced density at the stability limits determined by SPT is shown to agree exactly with those of that estimated for the Alder-Wainwright, supercritical, high-density gas-solid phase transition in a hard-sphere system, at a specific temperature, and closely over a range of more than 1,000K. The temperature dependence of the gas-solid phase stability limits has been examined over the range 0.01K-10,000K. It is further shown that SPT describes correctly the variation of the entropy of a hard-core fluid at low temperatures, requiring its entropy to vanish as T goes to zero by undergoing a gas-solid phase transition at finite temperature and all pressures.
