description: We investigate the self-dual Yang-Mills gauge configurations on $R^3\times S^1$ when the gauge symmetry SU(2) is broken to U(1) by the Wilson loop. We construct the explicit field configuration for a single instanton by the Nahm method and show that an instanton is composed of two self-dual monopoles of opposite magnetic charge. We normalize the moduli space metric of an instanton and study various limits of the field configuration and its moduli space metric.

description: Impact Assessment (IA) intends to collect evidence on the likely impacts of new policies and thereby minimize unwanted side-effects and maximize the benefits to society. Although it is a requirement in the EC and all OECD countries, the scope and methods vary considerably. Governments have invested considerably in research to support the evidence basis of policy making for sustainable development. However, the general picture shows a gap between the proliferation of IA tools from the scientific community and their actual use in the policy process. The FP7 network of excellence LIAISE (www.liaise- noe.eu) is designed to identify the causes for non-use of IA tools and bridge the gaps between researchers with a generally strong orientation towards their (disciplinary) peers and practitioners who tend to focus on their policy domain and policy problems. LIAISE aims at: 1) understanding of the policy process and the resulting needs for IA knowledge and IA tools; 2) description of IA tools and scientific IA expertise in a standardised way; 3) a shared IA toolbox targeted at the needs of both researchers and practitioners; 4) a shared IA research agenda integrating scientific knowledge gaps and the priorities for the development of new IA knowledge that arise from the future policy agenda; and 5) safeguarding the project results beyond the period of project funding, by developing an institutional setting and a business plan that facilitate the extension of the present consortium towards a broad centre of IA expertise with a structural permanence. A lively interaction between the different communities involved, is essential to realize these objectives. The Berlin Conference is an important opportunity to inform external research groups about the LIAISE approach to bridging the gap between science and policy. Their feedback and views on possible next steps in the further integration of the IA research community are highly valued, as well as their interest to become involved in this process.

Bioactive Hydrogel Scaffold for Guided Dental Pulp Regeneration

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Over 15 million root canal treatments (RCT) are performed yearly in the United States to treat deep caries and dental pulp infection. This procedure however, removes both the diseased and healthy pulp, leading to tooth devitalization. Furthermore, RCTs are associated with a high incidence of re-infection and dentin fracture, reduced sensitivity and eventual tooth loss. Thus there is an unmet clinical need for alternative endodontic therapies that can preserve tooth vitality and ensure long term dental health.  The strategy of vital endodontic therapy explored in this thesis centers on the design of a bioactive scaffold that guides host cell homing while providing antibiotic release, in effect harnessing the intrinsic repair potential of the native pulp while simultaneously eliminating residual bacteria that can cause recurrent infection.
      Specifically, a bioactive polyethylene glycol fibrinogen (PEG-fibrinogen) hydrogel is optimized to support host cell infiltration, maintain dental pulp cell phenotype, and enable pulp regeneration.  Ciprofloxacin, a clinically relevant antibiotic for RCT, is incorporated into PEG-fibrinogen to prevent infection.  The scaffold and culturing parameters optimized in vitro using either explant or a tooth slice model includes fibrinogen, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and photoinitiator concentration, as well as cell source and density.  In addition, dose-dependent antibiotic effects on both anaerobic bacteria isolated from deep caries and healthy pulp cells are evaluated.  The collective findings of this thesis demonstrate that a cell-instructive hydrogel comprised of a fibrinogen backbone and cross-linked with difunctional poly(ethylene glycol) side chains supports pulp cell viability, phenotypic morphology, and host cell migration. Furthermore, increasing pulp cell density promotes cell biosynthesis and a higher fibrinogen concentration is found to enhance collagen deposition. Photoinitiator and PEGDA concentrations have been optimized to enhance hydrogel mechanical properties and gel degradation, while supporting pulp cell phenotype. An optimal antibiotic dosage in the hydrogel has been identified that significantly reduces bacteria count from infected dental pulp without harmful side effects on dental pulp cell phenotype and host cell migration.
      In summary, this thesis focuses on the design of a bioactive hydrogel-based scaffold with antibiotic release that can induce dental pulp regeneration without the addition of cells and stimuli such as growth factors and minimize post-therapy infection.  The innovative scaffold design strategy presented here lays the foundation for the development of vital endodontic therapy that harnesses pulp self-repair and sustains long-term tooth function.

description: The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) that took place with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty lays the basis for a potentially more coherent and better-structured approach of the European Union to the issue of the provision of humanitarian aid. Within such a context, this paper investigates the relationship between the provision of emergency financial assistance and the extent of the presence of the issue of humanitarian aid in public discourse in seven EU member states. The empirical findings highlight a strong correlation between increases in issue salience and increases in the provision of humanitarian assistance as well as a significant concomitant variation in the issue cycles of the investigated EU member states.

A set of new integrable classes depending on one or no parameters, derived from the analysis of the works by Abel, Liouville and Appell, is also shown. Computer algebra routines were developed to solve ODEs members of these classes by solving their related equivalence problem. The resulting library permits a systematic solving of Abel type ODEs in the Maple symbolic computing environment.

description: Production of infectious retrovirus particles is a complex and poorly-understood process with multiple steps that are often linked to one another. Our aim in this study was to gain better understanding of the path the murine leukemia virus (MLV) structural protein Gag follows to assemble into immature capsid structures, the process of which is central to retroviral assembly and release. Extensive studies of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) assembly have led to the development of a model proposing that the assembly of immature HIV-1 capsids proceeds sequentially through multiple intermediates, in association with an RNA granule containing some well-conserved cellular factors, such as ATP-binding cassette subfamily E member 1 (ABCE1) and DEAD-box helicase 6 (DDX6). In this work, we provided evidence suggesting that MLV Gag associates with endogenous ABCE1 in human cells expressing assembly-competent MLV, and can be found in at least three high-molecular weight complexes with sedimentation properties highly resembling the HIV-1 assembly intermediates. Furthermore, we assessed the Gag proteins of select assembly-defective MLV mutants in terms of their expression levels, ability to form viral particles, involvement in intracellular complexes, membrane association, and ABCE1 interaction. Our findings were not only consistent with a model of MLV assembly through host-mediated intermediates, but also provided novel information about the effects of various MLV Gag mutations that are associated with defects in particle production.

description: When 1 -> H -> G -> Q -> 1 is a short exact sequence of three infinite, word-hyperbolic groups, Mahan Mitra (Mj) has shown that the inclusion map from H to G extends continuously to a map between the Gromov boundaries of H and G. This boundary map is known as the Cannon-Thurston map. In this context, Mitra associates to every point z in the Gromov boundary of Q an "ending lamination" on H which consists of pairs of distinct points in the boundary of H. We prove that for each such z, the quotient of the Gromov boundary of H by the equivalence relation generated by this ending lamination is a dendrite, that is, a tree-like topological space. This result generalizes the work of Kapovich-Lustig and Dowdall-Kapovich-Taylor, who prove that in the case where H is a free group and Q is a convex cocompact purely atoroidal subgroup of Out(F_N), one can identify the resultant quotient space with a certain $\mathbb{R}$-tree in the boundary of Culler-Vogtmann's Outer space.

description: A taxonomic and alphabetic arrangement (TAA) of objects on shelves has prevailed in fluid-preserved natural history collections while they were managed by scientists for their own research. Now most collections are databased and internet-accessible to facilitate very different forms of research accomplished remotely by researchers who require less physical access to specimens. The collections staff who make those data available struggle to manage collection growth with limited space and budgets, while demands on them are increasing, necessitating task and space-efficient collection management solutions. We describe an alternative arrangement of objects based on their size and catalog number (OCA) that capitalizes on modern databases. Our partial implementation of this system facilitated pragmatic between-system comparisons of space use and staff time required for routine tasks. Our OCA allows 17% more jars to be stored in a given space than a TAA (not counting spaces left for growth), but adjusting vertical spacing of shelves could increase that to 115%. Ten of 15 staff tasks were more efficiently accomplished in the OCA section of the collection, and we propose ways to improve efficiency for three of the four tasks for which the TAA outperformed the OCA.

description: Lung disease is the third leading cause of death worldwide. The shortage of transplantable donor organs has profound consequences, especially for patients with end-stage lung disease, where transplantation remains the only definitive treatment. Donor organ demand far exceeds supply; and currently four out of five donor lungs are deemed unacceptable for transplantation at the time of donation, making lung the least utilized solid organ. To address the donor organ shortage, the recovery of lungs unacceptable for transplantation and the development of lung substitutes or biologic constructs capable of long-term gas exchange are under investigation. However, significant challenges remain due to a limited understanding of lung development, stem cell biology, and the mechanisms of lung injury and repair. Accordingly, novel biomaterials capable of elucidating underlying mechanisms of lung regeneration as well as facilitating strategies in lung tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic cell delivery would have great utility. Furthermore, robust biosystems capable of prolonged whole organ support would enable extended organ recovery times, advanced therapeutic interventions, and recipient-specific organ manipulation. The integration of new mechanistic insights into lung regeneration, novel biomaterial therapeutics, and a platform for prolonged extracorporeal organ support will enable the functional recovery and use of donor lungs initially unacceptable for transplantation. Herein is described the development and validation of (i) tissue-specific extracellular matrix biomaterials as biomedical research tools, (ii) ex vivo lung perfusion systems in small and large animal models, and (iii) a clinical-scale organ support and recovery system with novel strategies for the delivery of pulmonary therapeutics.

Self-intersection of the Fallback Stream in Tidal Disruption Events
Creators: name: Lu, Wenbin
name: Bonnerot, Clément
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a semi-analytical model for the self-intersection of the fallback stream in tidal disruption events (TDEs). When the initial periapsis is less than about 15 gravitational radii, a large fraction of the shocked gas is unbound in the form of a collision-induced outflow (CIO). This is because large apsidal precession causes the stream to self-intersect near the local escape speed at radius much below the apocenter. The rest of the fallback gas is left in more tightly bound orbits and quickly joins the accretion flow. We propose that the CIO is responsible for reprocessing the hard emission from the accretion flow into the optical band. This picture naturally explains the large photospheric radius (or low blackbody temperature) and typical widths of the H and/or He emission lines seen in optical TDEs. We predict the CIO-reprocessed spectrum in the infrared to be L_ν~ ν^{~0.5}, shallower than a blackbody. The partial sky coverage of the CIO also provides a unification of the diverse X-ray behaviors of optical TDEs. According to this picture, optical surveys filter out a large fraction of TDEs with low-mass blackholes due to lack of a reprocessing layer, and the volumetric rate of optical TDEs is nearly flat wrt. the blackhole mass for M < 10^7 solar masses. This filtering causes the optical TDE rate to be lower than the total rate by a factor of ~10 or more. When the CIO is decelerated by the ambient medium, radio emission at the level of that in ASASSN-14li may be produced, but the timescales and peak luminosities can be highly diverse. Finally, our method paves the way for global simulations of the disk formation process by injecting gas at the intersection point according to the prescribed velocity and density profiles.

description: The force experienced by objects embedded in a correlated medium undergoing thermal fluctuations--the so-called fluctuation--induced force--is actually itself a fluctuating quantity. We compute the corresponding probability distribution and show that it is a Gaussian centered on the well-known Casimir force, with a non-universal standard deviation that can be typically as large as the mean force itself. The relevance of these results to the experimental measurement of fluctuation-induced forces is discussed, as well as the influence of the finite temporal resolution of the measuring apparatus.

description: This paper is concerned with inverse acoustic scattering problem of inferring the position and shape of a sound-soft obstacle from phaseless far-field data. We propose the Bayesian approach to recover sound-soft disks, line cracks and kite-shaped obstacles through properly chosen incoming waves in two dimensions. Given the Gaussian prior measure, the well-posedness of the posterior measure in the Bayesian approach is discussed. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is adopted in the numerical approximation and the preconditioned Crank-Nicolson (pCN) algorithm with random proposal variance is utilized to improve the convergence rate. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: Tissues are heterogeneous communities of cells that work together to achieve a higher-order function. Large-scale single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers an unprecedented opportunity to systematically map the transcriptional programs underlying this diversity. However, extracting biological signal from noisy, high-dimensional scRNA-seq data requires carefully designed, statistically robust methodology that makes appropriate assumptions both for the data and for the biological question of interest. This thesis explores computational approaches to finding biological signal in scRNA-seq datasets. Chapter 2 focuses on preprocessing and cell-centric approaches to downstream analysis that have become a mainstay of analytical pipelines for scRNA-seq, and includes dissections of lineage diversity in high grade glioma and in the largest neural stem cell niche in the adult mouse brain. Notably, the former study suggests that heterogeneity in high grade glioma arises from at least two distinct biological processes: aberrant neural development and mesenchymal transformation. Chapter 3 presents a flexible approach for de novo discovery of gene expression programs without an a priori structure across cells, revealing subtle properties of a spatially sampled high grade glioma that would not have been apparent with previous approaches. Chapter 4 leverages our prior work and a unique tissue resource to build a unified reference map of human T cell functional states across tissues and ages. We discover and validate a novel pan-T cell activation marker and a previously undescribed kinetic intermediate in CD4+ T cell activation. Finally, ongoing work defines key programs of gene expression in tissue-associated T cells in infants and adults and predicts their candidate regulators.

When the target manifold is a simple Lie group G, it is seen that there is no obstruction to the gauging of a subgroup H\subset G if we may construct from the form a cocycle for the relative Lie algebra cohomology (or for the equivariant cohomology), and an explicit general expression for these cocycles is given. The common geometrical structure of the gauged closed forms and the D'Hoker and Weinberg effective actions of WZW type, as well as the obstructions for their existence, is also exhibited and explained.

description: Bayesian inference provides an attractive online-learning framework to analyze sequential data, and offers generalization guarantees which hold even with model mismatch and adversaries. Unfortunately, exact Bayesian inference is rarely feasible in practice and approximation methods are usually employed, but do such methods preserve the generalization properties of Bayesian inference ? In this paper, we show that this is indeed the case for some variational inference (VI) algorithms. We consider a few existing online, tempered VI algorithms, as well as a new algorithm, and derive their generalization bounds. Our theoretical result relies on the convexity of the variational objective, but we argue that the result should hold more generally and present empirical evidence in support of this. Our work in this paper presents theoretical justifications in favor of online algorithms relying on approximate Bayesian methods.

Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction for difference operators and deformations of W-algebras I. The case of Virasoro algebra

description: We propose a q-difference version of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction scheme, which gives us q-deformations of the classical W-algebras by reduction from Poisson-Lie loop groups. We consider in detail the case of SL(2). The nontrivial consistency conditions fix the choice of the classical r-matrix defining the Poisson-Lie structure on the loop group LSL(2), and this leads to a new elliptic classical r-matrix. The reduced Poisson algebra coincides with the deformation of the classical Virasoro algebra previously defined in q-alg/9505025. We also consider a discrete analogue of this Poisson algebra. In the second part (q-alg/9702016) the construction is generalized to the case of an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra.

Training a Fast Object Detector for LiDAR Range Images Using Labeled Data from Sensors with Higher Resolution

description: In this paper, we describe a strategy for training neural networks for object detection in range images obtained from one type of LiDAR sensor using labeled data from a different type of LiDAR sensor. Additionally, an efficient model for object detection in range images for use in self-driving cars is presented. Currently, the highest performing algorithms for object detection from LiDAR measurements are based on neural networks. Training these networks using supervised learning requires large annotated datasets. Therefore, most research using neural networks for object detection from LiDAR point clouds is conducted on a very small number of publicly available datasets. Consequently, only a small number of sensor types are used. We use an existing annotated dataset to train a neural network that can be used with a LiDAR sensor that has a lower resolution than the one used for recording the annotated dataset. This is done by simulating data from the lower resolution LiDAR sensor based on the higher resolution dataset. Furthermore, improvements to models that use LiDAR range images for object detection are presented. The results are validated using both simulated sensor data and data from an actual lower resolution sensor mounted to a research vehicle. It is shown that the model can detect objects from 360° range images in real time.

description: Why is regulatory convergence towards EU rules more successful in some policy fields than in others within one EU neighboring country? By comparing Ukraine’s convergence towards EU rules in the field of shareholders’ rights and technical standards, I challenge prominent explanations for policy change outside the EU that emphasize misfit and adaptational costs, the institutionalization of EU rules or policy-specific conditionality. In order to deal with the shortcomings of these explanations, it is necessary to disaggregate incentives and capacities of various domestic actors within the particular policy fields. I argue that regulatory convergence in EU neighboring countries is more likely if external actors combine the application of policy-specific conditionality, such as access to the European market, with multiplex capacity-building measures that diversify demand among domestic state regulators and firms and empower them to make their claims.

description: The paper contains the construction of a topological quantum field theory in which gluings along surfaces with boundary are allowed. The construction is made by using quantum deformations of sl(2,C). In the construction there appears a sign obstruction to some of the Moore-Seiberg equations. This problem is solved by means of the Klein four group.

description: Behavior of ρ_{ab}(T) and R_{H}(T) is presented for LSCO and YBCO single crystals in the lightly hole-doped antiferromagnetic region, with an emphasis on the R_{H}(T) data. In both systems, R_{H} is virtually constant at moderate temperatures and tends to increase at low temperatures. Since essentially the same behavior of ρ_{ab}(T) and R_{H}(T) is observed in both LSCO and YBCO, we discuss that the in-plane charge transport properties are universal among the cuprates in the lightly-doped regime and that the R_{H}(T) data we obtained represent the genuine behavior of the Hall effect in this regime.

description: Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal (in absorption or emission) allow us to peek into the epoch of "dark ages" and the onset of reionization. These data can provide a novel way to learn about the nature of dark matter, in particular about the formation of small size dark matter halos. However, the connection between the formation of structures and 21-cm signal requires knowledge of stellar to total mass relation, escape fraction of UV photons, and other parameters that describe star formation and radiation at early times. This baryonic physics depends on the properties of dark matter and in particular in warm-dark-matter (WDM) models, star formation may follow a completely different scenario, as compared to the cold-dark-matter case. We use the recent measurements by the EDGES [J. D. Bowman, A. E. E. Rogers, R. A. Monsalve, T. J. Mozdzen, and N. Mahesh, An absorption profile centred at 78 megahertz in thesky-averaged spectrum,Nature (London) 555, 67 (2018).] to demonstrate that when taking the above considerations into account, the robust WDM bounds are in fact weaker than those given by the Lyman-$α$ forest method and other structure formation bounds. In particular, we show that resonantly produced 7 keV sterile neutrino dark matter model is consistent with these data. However, a holistic approach to modelling of the WDM universe holds great potential and may in the future make 21-cm data our main tool to learn about dark matter clustering properties.
