description: The dynamical response of Coulomb-interacting particles in nano-clusters are analyzed at different temperatures characterizing their solid- and liquid-like behavior. Depending on the trap-symmetry, both the spatial and temporal correlations undergo slow, stretched exponential relaxations at long times, arising from spatially correlated motion in string-like paths. Our results indicate that the distinction between the `solid' and `liquid' is soft: While particles in a `solid' flow producing dynamic heterogeneities, motion in `liquid' yields unusually long tail in the distribution of particle-displacements. A phenomenological model captures much of the subtleties of our numerical simulations.

description: Inflammasome activation leads to caspase-1 activation, which causes the maturation cleavage of pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18. A subgroup of the NLR (nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat containing) proteins are key mediators of the inflammasome. Studies of gene-deficient mice and cells have implicated NLR inflammasomes in a host of responses to a wide range of microbial pathogens, inflammatory diseases, cancer, and metabolic and autoimmune disorders. Determining exactly how the inflammasome is activated in these diseases and disease models remains a challenge. This review presents and integrates recent progress in the field.

Odyssey

description: The reunion of Odysseus and Penelope in Odyssey books 19-23 is examined in terms of a repeated type-scene, the 'recognition scene', which repeatedly enacts moments of testing and reintegration. It is shown that the conversation in book 19 shows signs of backtracking through the regular motif-sequence of the recognition scene. This backtracking is further shown to be a consistent practice, where moments of initial meeting of Odysseus and Penelope are glossed over; and the reader is prevented from noticing this by the narratological techniques used.

description: The heptahelical G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) belong to the largest family of cell surface signaling receptors encoded in the human genome. GPCRs signal to diverse extracellular stimuli and control a vast number of physiological responses, making this receptor class the target of nearly half the drugs currently in use. In addition to rapid desensitization, receptor trafficking is crucial for the temporal and spatial control of GPCR signaling. Sorting signals present in the intracytosolic domains of GPCRs regulate trafficking through the endosomal-lysosomal system. GPCR internalization is mediated by serine and threonine phosphorylation and arrestin binding. Short, linear peptide sequences including tyrosine- and dileucine-based motifs, and PDZ ligands that are recognized by distinct endocytic adaptor proteins also mediate internalization and endosomal sorting of GPCRs. We present new data from bioinformatic searches that reveal the presence of these types of sorting signals in the cytoplasmic tails of many known GPCRs. Several recent studies also indicate that the covalent modification of GPCRs with ubiquitin serves as a signal for internalization and lysosomal sorting, expanding the diversity of mechanisms that control trafficking of mammalian GPCRs.

description: Ionization of matter by energetic radiation generally causes complex secondary reactions which are hard to decipher. Using large helium nanodroplets irradiated by XUV photons, we show that the full chain of processes ensuing primary photoionization can be tracked in detail by means of high-resolution electron spectroscopy. We find that elastic and inelastic scattering of photoelectrons efficiently induces interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) in the droplets. This type of indirect ICD even becomes the dominant process of electron emission in nearly the entire XUV range in large droplets with radius $\gtrsim40~$nm. Indirect ICD processes induced by electron scattering likely play an important role in other condensed phase systems exposed to ionizing radiation as well, including biological matter.
Curing HIV: Pharmacologic Approaches to Target HIV-1 Latency

description: HIV-1 infection persists even after years of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although ART can halt viral replication and thereby reduce viremia to clinically undetectable levels, proviral latency established within the host genome remains largely unaffected by ART and can replenish systemic infection following interruption of therapy. Pharmacologic strategies, which not only target viral replication but also deplete proviral infection, are required for successful clearance of HIV-1 infection. This review highlights the current understanding of molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain HIV-1 latency in its major reservoir, the resting memory CD4+ T cell. We also identify the molecular targets that might be exploited to induce HIV-1 expression, remove epigenetic restrictions, or enhance effective transcription. Finally, we discuss the potential pharmacologic approaches toward targeting viral persistence in different cellular and anatomical reservoirs to achieve a cure of HIV-1 infection.
Compositional Construction of Approximate Abstractions of Interconnected Control Systems

description: We consider a compositional construction of approximate abstractions of interconnected control systems. In our framework, an abstraction acts as a substitute in the controller design process and is itself a continuous control system. The abstraction is related to the concrete control system via a so-called simulation function: a Lyapunov-like function, which is used to establish a quantitative bound between the behavior of the approximate abstraction and the concrete system. In the first part of the paper, we provide a small gain type condition that facilitates the compositional construction of an abstraction of an interconnected control system together with a simulation function from the abstractions and simulation functions of the individual subsystems. In the second part of the paper, we restrict our attention to linear control system and characterize simulation functions in terms of controlled invariant, externally stabilizable subspaces. Based on those characterizations, we propose a particular scheme to construct abstractions for linear control systems. We illustrate the compositional construction of an abstraction on an interconnected system consisting of four linear subsystems. We use the abstraction as a substitute to synthesize a controller to enforce a certain linear temporal logic specification.

The semi-mythological character of the battle is explored in terms of its mythological significance for the Spartans as Dorians: since the Spartans who were at Troy were supposedly not Dorians (and the evidence on this point, pro and contra, is outlined), Thermopylae marks the first participation of the Dorians in a truly pan-Hellenic "myth".

description: In this paper we consider the $α-$attractor model and study inflation under a non-slow-roll dynamics. More precisely, we follow the approach recently proposed by Gong and Sasaki \cite{Gong:2015ypa} by means of assuming $N=N\left(ϕ\right)$. Within this framework we obtain a family of functions describing the local shape of the potential during inflation. We study a specific model and find an inflationary scenario predicting an attractor at $n_{s}\approx0.967$ and $r\approx5.5\times10^{-4}$. We further show that considering a non-slow-roll dynamics, the $α-$attractor model can be broaden to a wider class of models that remain compatible with value of $r<0.1$. We further explore the model parameter space with respect to large and small field inflation and conclude that the inflaton dynamics is connected to the $ α- $ parameter, which is also related to the Kähler manifold curvature in the supergravity (SUGRA) embedding of this model. We also comment on the stabilization of the inflaton's trajectory.

description: We present a new program implementation of the gaussian process regression adaptive density-guided approach [J. Chem. Phys. 153 (2020) 064105] in the MidasCpp program. A number of technical and methodological improvements made allowed us to extend this approach towards calculations of larger molecular systems than those accessible previously and maintain the very high accuracy of constructed potential energy surfaces. We demonstrate the performance of this method on a test set of molecules of growing size and show that up to 80 % of single point calculations could be avoided introducing a root mean square deviation in fundamental excitations of about 3 cm$^{-1}$. A much higher accuracy with errors below 1 cm$^{-1}$ could be achieved with tighter convergence thresholds still reducing the number of single point computations by up to 68 %. We further support our findings with a detailed analysis of wall times measured while employing different electronic structure methods. Our results demonstrate that GPR-ADGA is an effective tool, which could be applied for cost-efficient calculations of potential energy surfaces suitable for highly-accurate vibrational spectra simulations.

description: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the mechanisms by which clots are formed in the deep veins have not been determined. Tissue factor (TF) is the primary initiator of the coagulation cascade and is essential for hemostasis. Under pathological conditions, TF is released into the circulation on small-membrane vesicles termed microparticles (MPs). Recent studies suggest that elevated levels of MPTF may trigger thrombosis. This review provides an overview of the role of TF in VTE.

description: In the gamified algebra program From Here To There! (FH2T) students interact with a dynamic interface that allows them to manipulate equations from a start to a predetermined goal state. Although there are potentially infinite paths students can take from the start to the goal state, students are encouraged to complete each problem in the least number of steps (efficiency). Students can always replay the problems, and are encouraged to do so if they have not found the most efficient solution. Although many students replay to get the optimal solution after a suboptimal attempt, others replay many times, generating different optimal solutions. We propose that this behavior may represent students' fluency, flexibility, and originality in problem-solving, which are facets of creativity. In the current project, we seek to measure the creativity of students’ natural problem-solving in algebra by evaluating their flexibility (how different each of the solutions they create are from one another) and their originality (how different their solutions are from their peers’ solutions). These measures serve as dimensions for students' creativity. We posit that these students’ flexibility, originality, and creativity will be positively associated with their learning outcomes.
The Disaggregation of Within-Person and Between-Person Effects in Longitudinal Models of Change
Creators: name: Curran, Patrick J.
name: Bauer, Daniel J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Longitudinal models are becoming increasingly prevalent in the behavioral sciences, with key advantages including increased power, more comprehensive measurement, and establishment of temporal precedence. One particularly salient strength offered by longitudinal data is the ability to disaggregate between-person and within-person effects in the regression of an outcome on a time-varying covariate. However, the ability to disaggregate these effects has not been fully capitalized upon in many social science research applications. Two likely reasons for this omission are the general lack of discussion of disaggregating effects in the substantive literature and the need to overcome several remaining analytic challenges that limit existing quantitative methods used to isolate these effects in practice. This review explores both substantive and quantitative issues related to the disaggregation of effects over time, with a particular emphasis placed on the multilevel model. Existing analytic methods are reviewed, a general approach to the problem is proposed, and both the existing and proposed methods are demonstrated using several artificial data sets. Potential limitations and directions for future research are discussed, and recommendations for the disaggregation of effects in practice are offered.

description: We present a theoretical study on the electron transmission through the AB-BA stacking boundary in multilayer graphene. Using the tight-binding model and the transfer matrix method, we calculate the electron transmission probability through the boundary as a function of electron Fermi energy in multilayers from bilayer to five-layer. We find that the transmission is strongly suppressed particularly near the band touching point, suggesting that the electronic conductivity in general multilayer graphenes is significantly interfered by stacking fault. The conductivity suppression by stacking fault is the strongest in the bilayer graphene, while it is gradually relaxed as increasing the number of layers. At a large carrier density, we observe an even-odd effect where the transmission is relatively lower in trilayer and five-layer than in bilayer and four-layer, and this is related to the existence of a monolayer-like linear band in odd layers. For bilayer graphene, we also study the effect of the perpendicular electric field opening an energy gap, and show that the band deformation enhances the electron transmission at a fixed carrier density.

Causal Inference Considerations for Endocrine Disruptor Research in Children's Health

Year: 2013

description: Substantial population exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, combined with available biomarkers and public concern, has resulted in an explosion of human health effects research. At the same time, remarkable shifts in the regulations governing the composition of some consumer products that contain endocrine disruptors (EDs) has occurred. However, important questions remain as to the weight of evidence linking EDs to human health end points. In this review, we critically examine the literature linking ED exposures to child neurodevelopment, focusing in particular on two model exposures to demonstrate issues related to bioaccumulative [e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)] and rapidly metabolized (e.g., phthalates) compounds, respectively. Issues of study design, confounding, and exposure measurement are considered. Given widespread exposure to these compounds, the potential public health consequences of even small effects on human health are substantial. Therefore, advancing our understanding of any impact calls for careful attention to the principles of causal inference.

description: The main purpose of the present research is to understand how four interpersonal emotion regulation strategies—reappraisal, distraction, suppression, and acceptance—predict a romantic partner’s mental health when they are used by regulators to attempt to manage their partners’ negative emotions. We have tested this research question in a previous longitudinal study of 242 individuals with a romantic partner in the context of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic (Study 1, not preregistered). In this document, we preregister our analysis plan for Study 2, a longitudinal dyadic dataset that allows us to replicate and extend our previous findings in a second study that complements the design of Study 1. In Study 2, we recruited romantically partnered individuals who recently relocated (i.e., within the past year) with their partner for their work/school (“relocators”) or their partner’s work/school (“accompanying partners”), as well as their partners. Participants were recruited through Prolific for a three-part study, including completing a baseline survey up to two months before they moved, five shorter biweekly surveys for 2.5 months in the wake of the move, and follow-up surveys at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-move.
The rational and metaphysical notions of prophethood and the Prophet Muhammad in the thought of Said Nursi and Muhammad Iqbal
Creators: name: Ansari, Mahsheed
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The theological notion of Prophethood (nubuwwa) and the Prophet Muḥammad has been subjected to an intense theoretical enquiry since the Enlightenment. The emphasis on rational thought and reason (ʿaql) was prevalent in this period. While some scholars focused on tradition (naql), a number of others focused on reason (ʿaql). Said Nursi and Muhammad Iqbal engaged both ʿaql and naql in their prophetologies, orientating more towards reason (‘aql). This thesis argues that the prophetologies of the modernist Muslims were lacking the balance of the metaphysical with that of the rational. In contrast, Said Nursi and Muhammad Iqbal retained this balance in their prophetologies by including the metaphysical aspects of prophethood. Through a textual analysis of the major writings of Said Nursi and Muhammad Iqbal, this thesis explores two unique responses to this theological dilemma in the modern era, and highlights the similarities and differences of their prophetologies in contrast to their modernist contemporaries.

description: In the past few decades, demographic concerns have shifted from rapid population growth fueled by high fertility to concerns of population decline produced by very low, sub-replacement fertility levels. Once considered a problem unique to Europe or developed nations, concerns now center on the global spread of low fertility. Nearly half of the world's population now lives in countries with fertility at or below replacement levels. Further, by the mid-twenty-first century three of four countries now described as developing are projected to reach or slip below replacement fertility. We review the research on low fertility through the predominant frameworks and theories used to explain it. These explanations range from decomposition and proximate determinant frameworks to grand theories on the fundamental causes underlying the pervasiveness and spread of low fertility. We focus on the ability of theory to situate previous and future findings and conclude with directions for furthur research.

In this article, we deal with the enumeration and the exhaustive generation of the accessible configuration of the system. Our work is based on a new recursive decomposition theorem for SPM configurations using the notion of staircase bases. Based on this theorem, we provide a recursive formula for the enumeration of SPM(n) and a constant amortized time (CAT) algorithm for the generation of all SPM(n) configurations. The extension of the same approach to the Ice Pile Model is also discussed.

description: Facial eczema (FE) is a descriptive term for hepatogenous photosensitivity in sheep and cattle, caused by the mycotoxin sporidesmin. This toxin is produced by a saprophytic fungus, Pseudopithomyces chartarum. Facial eczema was first reported in 1894 in New Zealand and occurs frequently there, but was also reported in Argentina, Australia, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Turkey, the United States, and Uruguay. In South Africa, FE is increasingly recognized as a problem in the South African dairy industry and we thus wanted to explore fungal diversity in pastures. After a recent outbreak, mixed-grass samples were collected from Eastern Cape (EC) pasture in South Africa. Samples were surface disinfested and plated onto Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) supplemented with antibiotics. After incubation at 24 C, fungal isolations were made, cultures preserved, then identified using both morphology and DNA sequencing of multiple gene regions. Fungal communities were diverse with 738 strains isolated. These represented 57 genera. Three Pseudopithomyces species were identified with a taxonomic revision of the genus currently underway. Several other mycotoxigenic genera such as Fusarium and Aspergillus were also common. Knowledge regarding the role of fungal communities in causing FE and the general health of cattle in South Africa is lacking. Our study does however create a baseline knowledge for future investigations into their potential impacts on dairy pastures. Our findings provide new information on species distribution within the FIESC and the potential of mycotoxin production in pastures in the EC, while new species were introduced.

description: The toroidal dipole excitation is an important field for metamaterial research because of their low-loss attribute. In this study, we demonstrate numerically and experimentally, a unique polarization independent terahertz metamaterial that modulates a broad resonance into a sharp mode by coupling the inherent toroidal dipole excitation to the lattice mode of the metasurface. The advantage of polarization independence in the metasurface enables the excitation of lattice-coupled toroidal mode for both the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes of the incident terahertz radiation. The interaction of the two dark low-loss modes results in the significant enhancement of the quality factor of the metasurface at the point of resonance matching. Such a polarization independent lattice-matched toroidal excitation-based device has the potential to impact the development of low loss terahertz component for ultrasensitive sensors, low loss equipment, and slow light devices for enhanced light matter interaction.

description: Separation of selected adherent live cells attached on an array of microelements, termed micropallets, from a mixed population is an important process in biomedical research. We demonstrated that adherent cells can be safely, selectively, and rapidly released from the glass substrate together with micropallets using an ultrasound wave. A 3.3-MHz ultrasound transducer was used to release micropallets (500 μm × 500 μm × 300 μm) with attached HeLa cells, and a cell viability of 92% was obtained after ultrasound release. The ultrasound-induced release process was recorded by a high-speed camera, revealing a proximate velocity of ∼0.5 m/s.

description: Spectrum scarcity is viewed as one of the key obstacles in the area of wireless communications. The lack of available unlicensed resources is impairing the development of newer and more modern communications systems. This is the case of L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS), an innovative air communication system that aims to use the part of the frequency spectrum licensed by Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), a legacy radio navigation system. DME has a low channel utilization rate, leaving idle numerous resources that could be used by LDACS through the use of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) in Cognitive Radio (CR). In order to avoid interferences and collisions while taking advantage of these idle resources, this thesis proposes a new LDACS Machine Learning (ML)-based Medium Access Control (MAC). It incorporates a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) in order to observe, learn, predict and avoid the DME licensed users. The results from this new MAC are analyzed and compared to two alternative approaches, showing the advantages of a ML-based approach.
Decoherence effects in reactor and Gallium neutrino oscillation experiments -- a QFT approach

description: We adopt the quantum field theoretical method to calculate the amplitude and event rate for a neutrino oscillation experiment, considering neutrino production, propagation and detection as a single process. This method allows to take into account decoherence effects in the transition amplitude induced by the quantum mechanical uncertainties of all particles involved in the process. We extend the method to include coherence loss due to interactions with the environment, similar to collisional line broadening. In addition to generic decoherence induced at the amplitude level, the formalism allows to include, in a straightforward way, additional damping effects related to phase-space integrals over momenta of unobserved particles as well as other classical averaging effects. We apply this method to neutrino oscillation searches at reactor and Gallium experiments and confirm that quantum decoherence is many orders of magnitudes smaller than classical averaging effects and therefore unobservable. The method used here can be applied with minimal modifications also to other types of oscillation experiments, e.g., accelerator based beam experiments.

description: Welded joints are the most common method for connecting steel components, but they are also points of weakness, as they contain, among other things, initial cracks or are unwelded gaps. Most of the fatigue life of a welded joints takes place during the phase of macro crack growth, fracture mechanics models are therefore widely used method to predict the fatigue life. In this thesis, a procedure is developed how fracture mechanics simulations can be conducted automatically for a large number of welded joints with heterogeneous geometries. Therefore, an integrated procedure is developed in which parametric simulation models are generated, fracture mechanically analysed and the results together with their metadata are saved in a selectable master file. Then, the fatigue lives are calculated from the numerical results via the Paris-Erdogan equation and compared with the experimentally determined data. It is shown that by adapting the Paris-Erdogan parameters, high accuracy can be achieved in predicting fatigue lives under sub-zero temperatures. Moreover, a method is described in which a low effort verification of the Paris-Erdogan parameters C and m, separately from each other, by comparing numerical and experimental fatigue lives in a logarithmic space.

description: A topological quantum field theory is Hermitian if it is both oriented and complex-valued, and orientation-reversal agrees with complex-conjugation. A field theory satisfies spin-statistics if it is both spin and super, and $360^\circ$-rotation of the spin structure agrees with the operation of flipping the signs of all fermions. We set up a framework in which these two notions are precisely analogous. In this framework, field theories are defined over $\mathrm{Vect}_{\mathbb R}$, but rather than being defined in terms of a single tangential structure, they are defined in terms of a bundle of tangential structures over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb R)$. Bundles of tangential structures may be etale-locally equivalent without being equivalent, and Hermitian field theories are nothing but the field theories controlled by the unique nontrivial bundle of tangential structures that is etale-locally equivalent to Orientations. This bundle owes its existence to the fact that $π_1^{et}(\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb R)) = π_1{BO}$. We interpret Deligne's "existence of super fiber functors" theorem as implying that in a categorification of algebraic geometry in which symmetric monoidal categories replace commutative rings, $π_2^{et}(\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb R)) = π_2{BO}$. There are eight bundles etale-locally equivalent to Spins, one of which is distinguished; upon unpacking the meaning of that distinguished tangential structure, one arrives at field theories that are both Hermitian and satisfy spin-statistics. Finally, we formulate a notion of "reflection-positivity" and prove that if an etale-locally-oriented field theory is reflection-positive then it is necessarily Hermitian, and if an etale-locally-spin field theory is reflection-positive then it necessarily both satisfies spin-statistics and is Hermitian. The latter result is a topological version of the famous Spin-Statistics Theorem.
