description: Dietary nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of submaximal exercise, but precise mechanistic insight into how this occurs is lacking. Research suggests that dietary nitrate may render oxidative ATP synthesis more efficient, but evidence is inconclusive at present. This thesis aimed to establish how nitrite (a reduced form of nitrate) affects the bioenergetics of cultured skeletal muscle cells. Comparison between the acute effects of nitrite and insulin, a hormonal regulator of muscle function that increases mitochondrial efficiency, was explored to assess possible mechanistic overlap. Calculation of real-time intracellular ATP synthesis rates from simultaneous oxygen consumption and medium acidification measurements revealed the effects of sodium nitrite and insulin on intact rat (L6) myoblasts and myotubes. These extracellular flux data were also used to determine how mitochondrial and glycolytic ATP supply is used to fuel ATP-demanding processes. The data presented in this thesis revealed that both nitrite and insulin acutely stimulate glycolytic ATP synthesis. This stimulation occurs without significant mitochondrial ATP supply changes, thus increasing the glycolytic index of myocytes. Consequently, nitrite and insulin lower the oxygen cost of cellular ATP supply. Notably, insulin lowers oxygen consumption linked to mitochondrial proton leak, thus increasing mitochondrial efficiency. Nitrite does not improve coupling efficiency in myoblasts or myotubes. Further investigations revealed that stimulation of glycolytic ATP supply is not secondary to increased glucose availability. In myotubes, glycolytic stimulation persists in the presence of a mitochondrial uncoupler, suggesting that glycolysis is increased directly. In myoblasts, stimulation is annulled by uncoupler, suggesting that glycolysis increases indirectly, via increased ATP consumption. The molecular targets of nitrite and insulin remain unclear, but the data exclude stimulation of protein synthesis. Together, the data demonstrate that nitrite and insulin lower the oxygen cost of ATP synthesis in skeletal muscle cells by pleiotropic stimulation of glycolysis. The data inform the ongoing debate regarding the mechanism by which dietary nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of exercise, suggesting a push toward a more glycolytic phenotype. Such mechanistic insight is crucial for achieving the full translational potential of dietary nitrate.

description: This document was developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Watershed Management to provide a sound basis for environmentally conscious golf development and operation to course developers, owners, superintendents, and other responsible individuals. The report shows that each golf course is part of a unique ecosystem, consisting of large and small communities of organisms that interact constantly with the soil, water, plant, and air resources of the individual course. In this way, it is clear that no two golf courses are alike, and they should be managed as individual natural systems that relate in a positive way with the surrounding ecosystems.

description: We investigate how similar heatmaps of soccer players are when constructed from (i) event datasets and (ii) tracking datasets. When using event datasets, we show that the scale at which the events are grouped strongly influences the correlation with the tracking heatmaps. Furthermore, there is an optimal scale at which the correlation between event and tracking heatmaps is the highest. However, even at the optimal scale, correlations between both approaches are moderate. Furthermore, there is high heterogeneity in the players' correlation, ranging from negative values to correlations close to the unity. We show that the number of events performed by a player does not crucially determine the level of correlation between both heatmaps. Finally, we analyzed the influence of the player position, showing that defenders are the players with the highest correlations while forwards have the lowest.

description: The conditional mean is a fundamental and important quantity whose applications include the theories of estimation and rate-distortion. It is also notoriously difficult to work with. This paper establishes novel bounds on the differential entropy of the conditional mean in the case of finite-variance input signals and additive Gaussian noise. The main result is a new lower bound in terms of the differential entropies of the input signal and the noisy observation. The main results are also extended to the vector Gaussian channel and to the natural exponential family. Various other properties such as upper bounds, asymptotics, Taylor series expansion, and connection to Fisher Information are obtained. Two applications of the lower bound in the remote-source coding and CEO problem are discussed.

description: We present FlexibleDecay, a tool to calculate decays of scalars in a broad class of BSM models. The tool aims for high precision particularly in the case of Higgs boson decays. In the case of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs boson decays the known higher order SM QED, QCD and EW effects are taken into account where possible. The program works in a modified $\bar{\text{MS}}$ scheme that exhibits a decoupling property with respect to heavy BSM physics, with BSM parameters themselves treated in the $\bar{\text{MS}}/\bar{\text{DR}}$-scheme allowing for an easy connection to high scale tests for, e.g., perturbativity and vacuum stability, and the many observable calculations readily available in $\bar{\text{MS}}/\bar{\text{DR}}$ programs. Pure BSM effects are taken into account at the leading order, including all one-loop contributions to loop-induced processes. The program is implemented as an extension to FlexibleSUSY, which determines the mass spectrum for arbitrary BSM models, and does not require any extra configuration from the user. We compare our predictions for Higgs decays in the SM, singlet extended SM, type II THDM, CMSSM and MRSSM, as well as for squark decays in the CMSSM against a selection of publicly available tools. The numerical differences between our and other programs are explained. The release of FlexibleDecay officially deprecates the old effective couplings routines in FlexibleSUSY.

description: This project focuses on two tumours of the nervous system, schwannoma and meningioma. A large group of schwannomas and meningiomas display the inactivation of the NF2 gene. The NF2 gene codes for the tumour suppressor protein Merlin and its loss is associated with a multitude of pro-tumourigenic mechanisms leading to the occurrence of schwannomas and meningiomas. The loss of Merlin function causes augmented Hippo signaling i.e. interaction of YAP and TAZ, both co-activators of gene expression and the two main effectors of the Hippo signalling pathway, and TEAD, a group of transcription factors binding to YAP and TAZ. There resulting gene expression is associated with increased proliferation and evasion of cell death. This makes the YAP/TAZ-TEAD complex an excellent therapeutic target. Since therapy options for schwannomas and meningiomas are limited to surgery and radiosurgery, both carrying additional risks for the patient, new therapy approaches are desperately needed. Therefore, we explored if a schwannoma mouse model and cell culture and primary meningioma cells would be suitable systems to allow the testing of two potential new therapy options. Macrophages, especially tumour associated macrophages (TAMs), have been shown to promote tumour growth in various ways. Therefore, macrophage depletion is considered a promising therapy option. To see whether elimination of macrophages could be effective in our chosen schwannoma mouse model, a connection between increased TAM numbers and equally heightened proliferation within the developing schwannomas would need to be and was established. Additionally, Nf2 gene knockout and the additional knockout of either Yap or Taz genes also had distinct effects on proliferation, TAM numbers and overall schwannoma structure and cell numbers. Macrophage infiltration and resulting support of tumour growth has also been shown to be partly YAP/TAZ-TEAD signaling dependent. Therefore, in order to simultaneously reduce TAM-derived growth support and directly impair tumour cell proliferation, the second approach targets the Hippo signaling pathway using TEAD S-autopalmitoylation inhibitors by Vivace Therapeutics which interfere with YAP/TAZ-TEAD interaction. I could show that these TEAD palmitoylation inhibitors efficiently inhibit cell proliferation of human meningioma cell lines and primary human meningioma cells.

description: We give an evidence of the Big Fix. The theory of wormholes and multiverse suggests that the parameters of the Standard Model are fixed in such a way that the total entropy at the late stage of the universe is maximized, which we call the maximum entropy principle. In this paper, we discuss how it can be confirmed by the experimental data, and we show that it is indeed true for the Higgs vacuum expectation value $v_{h}$. We assume that the baryon number is produced by the sphaleron process, and that the current quark masses, the gauge couplings and the Higgs self coupling are fixed when we vary $v_{h}$. It turns out that the existence of the atomic nuclei plays a crucial role to maximize the entropy. This is reminiscent of the anthropic principle, however it is required by the fundamental low in our case.

description: The room temperature (300 K) electronic structure of pulsed laser deposited LaNi_{x}V_{1-x}O_{3} thin films have been demonstrated. The substitution of early-transition metal (TM) V in LaVO_{3} thin films with late-TM Ni leads to the decreasing in out-of-plane lattice parameter. Doping of Ni does not alter the formal valence state of Ni and V in LaNi_{x}V_{1-x}O_{3} thin films, divulging the absence of carrier doping into the system. The valence band spectrum is observed to comprise of incoherent structure owing to the localized V 3d band along with the coherent structure at Fermi level. With increase in Ni concentration, the weight of the coherent feature increases, which divulges its origin to the Ni 3d-O 2p hybridized band. The shift of Ni 3d-O 2p hybridized band towards higher energy in Ni doped LaVO_{3} films compared to the LaNiO_{3} film endorses the modification in ligand to metal charge transfer (CT) energy. The Ni doping in Mott-Hubbard insulator LaVO_{3} leads to the closure of Mott-Hubbard gap by building of spectral weight that provides the delocalized electrons for conduction. A transition from bandwidth control Mott-Hubbard insulator LaVO_{3} to negative CT metallicity character in LaNiO_{3} film is observed. The study reveals that unlike in Mott-Hubbard insulators where the strong Coulomb interaction between the 3d electrons decides the electronic structure of the system, CT energy can deliver an additional degree of freedom to optimize material properties in Ni doped LaVO_{3} films.

description: These appendices list the detailed case studies referenced in the report "Crosscutting Analysis of Trading Programs". Appendix G is "New Jersey Open Market Emissions Trading". The New Jersey Open Market Emission Trading (NJOMET) program is the only open market trading program in the Northeast. This case study focuses on the generation and use of volatile organic compound (VOC) credits under the NJOMET. Trading of VOCs is often considered more challenging than trading of the products of combustion such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. VOCs are used and emitted at more diverse manufacturing operations, making quantification and accountability more difficult. In addition, some chemicals that are VOCs are also toxic, and localized impacts from seemingly small shifts in emissions can have significant health impacts.

description: The relativistic charge carriers in monolayer graphene can be manipulated in manners akin to conventional optics (electron-optics): angle-dependent Klein tunneling collimates an electron beam (analogous to a laser), while a Veselago refraction process focuses it (analogous to an optical lens). Both processes have been previously investigated, but the collimation and focusing efficiency have been reported to be relatively low even in state-of-the-art ballistic pn-junction devices. These limitations prevented the realization of more advanced quantum devices based on electron-optical interference, while understanding of the underlying physics remains elusive. Here, we present a novel device architecture of a graphene microcavity defined by carefully-engineered local strain and electrostatic fields. We create a controlled electron-optic interference process at zero magnetic field as a consequence of consecutive Veselago refractions in the microcavity and provide direct experimental evidence through low-temperature electrical transport measurements. The experimentally observed first-, second-, and third-order interference peaks agree quantitatively with the Veselago physics in a microcavity. In addition, we demonstrate decoherence of the interference by an external magnetic field, as the cyclotron radius becomes comparable to the interference length scale. For its application in electron-optics, we utilize Veselago interference to localize uncollimated electrons and characterize its contribution in further improving collimation efficiency. Our work sheds new light on relativistic single-particle physics and provides important technical improvements toward next-generation quantum devices based on the coherent manipulation of electron momentum and trajectory.

description: Quantum interference can terminate energy growth in a continually kicked system, via a single-particle ergodicity-breaking mechanism known as dynamical localization. The effect of many-body interactions on dynamically localized states, while important to a fundamental understanding of quantum decoherence, has remained unexplored despite a quarter-century of experimental studies. We report the experimental realization of a tunably-interacting kicked quantum rotor ensemble using a Bose-Einstein condensate in a pulsed optical lattice. We observe signatures of a prethermal localized plateau, followed for interacting samples by interaction-induced anomalous diffusion with an exponent near one half. Echo-type time reversal experiments establish the role of interactions in destroying reversibility. These results quantitatively elucidate the dynamical transition to many-body quantum chaos, advance our understanding of quantum anomalous diffusion, and delimit some possibilities for protecting quantum information in interacting driven systems.

description: We present a new insight into the propagation, attenuation and dissipation of two-fluid, torsional Alfvén waves in the context of heating of the lower solar atmosphere. By means of numerical simulations of the partially-ionized plasma, we solve the set of two-fluid equations for ion plus electron and neutral fluids in three-dimensional (3D) Cartesian geometry. We implement initially a current-free magnetic field configuration, corresponding to a magnetic flux-tube that is rooted in the solar photosphere and expands into the chromosphere and corona. We put the lower boundary of our simulation region in the low chromosphere, where ions and neutrals begin to decouple, and implement there a monochromatic driver that directly generates Alfvén waves with a wave period of 30 s. As the ion-neutral drift increases with height, the two-fluid effects become more significant and the energy carried by both Alfvén and magneto-acoustic waves can be thermalized in the process of ion-neutral collisions there. In fact, we observe a significant increase in plasma temperature along the magnetic flux-tube. In conclusion, the two-fluid torsional Alfvén waves can potentially play a role in the heating of the solar chromosphere.

Numerical investigation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer in flat plate solar collector

description: Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuel has been the main resource for generating power and energy. However, with an increase in environmental awareness, people realized the huge negative impact of fossil fuel burning on Earth. Consequently, the concept of renewable energy emerged, and the field of renewable energy has seen an increasing number of researchers devote effort to solving the energy crisis facing humanity. Among all the renewable energy sources, solar energy plays one of the important role in the development of industry. Google Scholar shows that has been a huge amount of research for generating innovative ideas for improving the efficiency of the solar collector with the objective of reducing reliance on fossil fuel. In 1995, Choi and Eastman introduced the concept of nanofluid, which is obtained by adding high-conductivity nanoparticles to a base fluid; the nanoparticle addition enhances the thermal conductivity and heat transfer capability of the fluid. In this study, the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics was used to model nanofluid flow and heat transfer in the tube of a flat plate solar collector. The flow in the tube is laminar. Two types of nanoparticles, i.e., Al2O3 and CuO, with three different volume concentrations, i.e., 0%, 0.5%, and 1% in water, were chosen for comparison purposes. The inlet temperature of the fluid was assumed to be uniform at the room temperature of 298 K. In this thesis, the results of a simulation are discussed in terms of three parameters: outlet temperature, efficiency, and pressure drop. The outlet temperature of the nanofluid was greater than that of pure water, and the difference increased with the volume concentration of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the water-based CuO nanofluid has better performance than the water-based Al2O3 nanofluid. The efficiency of the solar collector did not increase when nanoparticles were added, owing to limitations of the model; an example of a limitation is that solar energy absorption by nanoparticles was not considered in the model. However, the efficiency of the solar collector increased noticeably with an increase in the mass flow rate. The volume flow rate was used instead of the mass flow rate for comparing the pressure drop. The simulation results showed that the pressure drop of both fluids increased with the volume concentration of the nanoparticles, and that the difference in the pressure drop between the CuO and Al2O3 nanofluids was not apparent.

description: We use a high-resolution hydrodynamic simulation that tracks the non-equilibrium abundance of molecular hydrogen within a massive high-redshift galaxy to produce mock Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) maps of the fine-structure lines of atomic carbon, CI 1-0 and CI 2-1. Inspired by recent observational and theoretical work, we assume that CI is thoroughly mixed within giant molecular clouds and demonstrate that its emission is an excellent proxy for H2. Nearly all of the H2 associated with the galaxy can be detected at redshifts z<4 using a compact interferometric configuration with a large synthesized beam (that does not resolve the target galaxy) in less than 4 h of integration time. Low-resolution imaging of the \CI lines (in which the target galaxy is resolved into three to four beams) will detect ~80 per cent of the H2 in less than 12 h of aperture synthesis. In this case, the resulting data cube also provides the crucial information necessary for determining the dynamical state of the galaxy. We conclude that ALMA observations of the CI 1-0 and 2-1 emission are well-suited for extending the interval of cosmic look-back time over which the H2 distributions, the dynamical masses, and the Tully-Fisher relation of galaxies can be robustly probed.

description: This study enacted and supported a scaffolding process to improve preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) assessment literacy as they experienced school placement. It is crucial to create opportunities that enhance PSTs’ understanding of assessment literacy, helping them to reconsider conceptions previously developed as school students (socialisation experiences) and to gain an appreciation for the benefits assessment affords students in their learning. Assessment literate teachers can enact appropriate assessment practices that can improve students’ learning and the teaching-learning process while providing opportunities for students to regulate their learning. Eight physical education PSTs working with the same university supervisor took part in the study. Data were collected through individual and focus group interviews, post-seminar reflections and testimonial surveys, researcher’s field notes, and PSTs’ school placement reports. This study highlighted that supportive, practical and critical participatory approaches are crucial to encourage PSTs to question and change their assessment conceptions, and to improve their assessment literacy. Results also showed that, despite struggling to avoid practicing what they experienced as school students (i.e. socialisation experiences), PSTs can alter their assessment understanding and practices to incorporate assessment for learning principles. Teacher educators are encouraged to consider how they can best acknowledge and address the pre-conceived assessment conceptions PSTs bring into these programmes.

Year: 2005

description: This informal briefing document discusses some of the considerations and constraints affecting the cost-effectiveness of offshore wind farms. These are conceptual, intuitively-driven items only. Specific site designations would be contingent on a number of specific environmental, aesthetic, and wind resource constraints not discussed here. At a very general level, four items are likely to affect effectiveness and cost of wind projects. These are: wind resource, water depth, financial incentives, and proximity to high power transmission and distribution systems.

description: We show that if $X$ and $Y$ are uniformly locally finite metric spaces whose uniform Roe algebras, $\cstu(X)$ and $\cstu(Y)$, are isomorphic as \cstar-algebras, then $X$ and $Y$ are coarsely equivalent metric spaces. Moreover, we show that coarse equivalence between $X$ and $Y$ is equivalent to Morita equivalence between $\cstu(X)$ and $\cstu(Y)$. As an application, we obtain that if $Γ$ and $Λ$ are finitely generated groups, then the crossed products $\ell_\infty(Γ)\rtimes_rΓ$ and $ \ell_\infty(Λ)\rtimes_rΛ$ are isomorphic if and only if $Γ$ and $Λ$ are bi-Lipschitz equivalent.
