description: Bioluminescence imaging enables noninvasive quantification of luciferase reporter gene expression in transgenic tissues of living rodents. Luciferase transgene expression can be regulated by endogenous gene promoters after targeted knock-in of the reporter gene, usually within the first intron of the gene. Even using CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing this can be a time consuming and costly process. The generation of germline transgenic (GLT) rodents by targeted genomic integration of a gene expression cassette in embryonic stem (ES) cells is commonplace but results in the wastage of large numbers of animals during colony generation, back-crossing and maintenance. Using a synthetic/truncated promoter-driven luciferase gene to study promoter activity in a given tissue or organ of a GLT also often results in unwanted background activity during whole-body bioluminescent imaging as every cell contains the reporter. We have developed somatotransgenic bioimaging; a method to generate tissue-restricted transcription factor activated luciferase reporter (TFAR) cassettes in rodents that substantially reduces the number of animals required for experimentation. Bespoke designed TFARs are delivered to newborn pups using viral vectors targeted to specific organs by tissue-tropic pseudotypes. Retention and proliferation of TFARs is facilitated by stem/progenitor cell transduction and immune tolerance to luciferase due to the naïve neonatal immune system. We have successfully applied both lentiviral and adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in longitudinal rodent studies, targeting TFARs to the liver and brain during normal development and in well-established disease models. Development of somatotransgenic animals has broad applicability to non-invasively determine mechanistic insights into homeostatic and disease states and assess toxicology and efficacy testing. Somatotransgenic bioimaging technology is superior to current whole-body, light-emitting transgenic models as it reduces the numbers of animals used by generating only the required number of animals. It is also a refinement over current technologies given the ability to use conscious, unrestrained animals. Deposited data contains raw data used for the analysis of bioluminescent outputs and also the lentiviral vectors used to generate the data.

description: Debris discs which orbit white dwarfs are signatures of remnant planetary systems. We present twelve years of optical spectroscopy of the metal-polluted white dwarf SDSS J1228+1040, which shows a steady variation in the morphology of the 8600 Å Ca II triplet line profiles from the gaseous component of its debris disc. We identify additional emission lines of O I, Mg I, Mg II, Fe II and Ca II in the deep co-added spectra. These emission features (including Ca H & K) exhibit a wide range in strength and morphology with respect to each other and to the Ca II triplet, indicating different intensity distributions of these ionic species within the disc. Using Doppler tomography we show that the evolution of the Ca II triplet profile can be interpreted as the precession of a fixed emission pattern with a period in the range 24-30 years. The Ca II line profiles vary on time-scales that are broadly consistent with general relativistic precession of the debris disc.

Identification of novel binding targets of the SWI/SNF complex member SNF5 in malignant rhabdoid tumors
Creators: name: Davies, Brian Robert
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors (MRTs) show a loss of SNF5, a core subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. These cancers are genetically stable, but epigenetically unstable. We hypothesize that SNF5 loss fuels MRT development through aberrant gene expression by disruption of SWI/SNF remodeling. Introduction of SNF5 into MRTs activates the Rb-E2F pathway, resulting in G1 arrest. However, this pathway cannot completely account for the arrest. We identified two novel SNF5 targets that may contribute to arrest by PCR Array, Cyclin G2 and HERC5. Both show an increase in mRNA expression and SNF5 binding to their promoters by ChIP. Use of 4x44k expression arrays revealed that GDF15 might be a third novel target. Expression increases by mRNA and protein, but ChIP is needed for validation. These genes may be regulated by SNF5 and contribute to arrest after chromatin remodeling increases expression, possibly providing further insight into MRT development.

description: In a previous work, a simple approach to derive the jamming packing fraction of a hard-sphere mixture from the knowledge of the random close-packing fraction of the monocomponent system was proposed. Now, an extension of that approach is applied to provide an approximate formula for the densest packing fraction of a given hard-sphere mixture in terms of the fcc close-packing fraction of a monocomponent hard-sphere system and of a single parameter encapsulating the dependence on the size ratios and the number of spheres in the unit cell. Comparison with recent results for such densest packing fraction of binary and ternary systems is performed and reasonable agreement is obtained.

description: We study the infinite horizon optimal control problem for N-network queueing systems, which consist of two customer classes and two server pools, under average (ergodic) criteria in the Halfin-Whitt regime. We consider three control objectives: 1) minimizing the queueing (and idleness) cost, 2) minimizing the queueing cost while imposing a constraint on idleness at each server pool, and 3) minimizing the queueing cost while requiring fairness on idleness. The running costs can be any nonnegative convex functions having at most polynomial growth. For all three problems we establish asymptotic optimality, namely, the convergence of the value functions of the diffusion-scaled state process to the corresponding values of the controlled diffusion limit. We also present a simple state-dependent priority scheduling policy under which the diffusion-scaled state process is geometrically ergodic in the Halfin-Whitt regime, and some results on convergence of mean empirical measures which facilitate the proofs.

description: We present a study of the spatial distribution of the stellar cluster populations in the star forming galaxy NGC 628. Using Hubble Space Telescope broad band WFC3/UVIS UV and optical images from the Treasury Program LEGUS (Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey), we have identified 1392 potential young (<100 Myr) stellar clusters within the galaxy, identified from a combination of visual inspection and automatic selection. We investigate the clustering of these young stellar clusters and quantify the strength and change of clustering strength with scale using the two-point correlation function. We also investigate how image boundary conditions and dust lanes affect the observed clustering. The distribution of the clusters is well fit by a broken power law with negative exponent $α$. We recover a weighted mean index of $α$ ~ -0.8 for all spatial scales below the break at 3".3 (158 pc at a distance of 9.9 Mpc) and an index of $α$ ~ -0.18 above 158 pc for the accumulation of all cluster types. The strength of the clustering increases with decreasing age and clusters older than 40 Myr lose their clustered structure very rapidly and tend to be randomly distributed in this galaxy whereas the mass of the star cluster has little effect on the clustering strength. This is consistent with results from other studies that the morphological hierarchy in stellar clustering resembles the same hierarchy as the turbulent interstellar medium.

description: Even though it was discovered more than a decade ago, LSR1610-0040 remains an enigma. This object has a peculiar spectrum that exhibits some features typically found in L subdwarfs, and others common in the spectra of more massive M dwarf stars. It is also a binary system with a known astrometric orbital solution. Given the available data, it remains a challenge to reconcile the observed properties of the combined light of LSR1610-0040AB with current theoretical models of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. We present the results of a joint fit to both astrometric and radial velocity measurements of this unresolved, low-mass binary. We find that the photocentric orbit has a period $P = 633.0 \pm 1.7$ days, somewhat longer than previous results, with eccentricity of $e = 0.42 \pm 0.03$, and we estimate that the semi-major axis of the orbit of the primary is $a_1 \approx 0.32$ AU, consistent with previous results. While a complete characterization of the system is limited by our small number of radial velocity measurements, we establish a likely primary mass range of $0.09 - 0.10 M_\odot$ from photometric and color-magnitude data. For a primary mass in this range, the secondary is constrained to be $0.06 - 0.075 M_\odot$, making a negligible contribution to the total I-band luminosity. This effectively rules out the possibility of the secondary being a compact object such as an old, low-mass white dwarf. Based on our analysis, we predict a likely angular separation at apoapsis comparable to the resolution limits of current high-resolution imaging systems. Measuring the angular separation of the A & B components would finally enable a full, unambiguous solution for the masses of the components of this system.

Magnetic susceptibility in three-dimensional nodal semimetals

description: We study the magnetic susceptibility in various three-dimensional gapless systems, including Dirac and Weyl semimetals and a line-node semimetal. The susceptibility is decomposed into the orbital term, the spin term and also the spin-orbit cross term which is caused by the spin-orbit interaction. We show that the orbital susceptibility logarithmically diverges at the band touching energy in the point-node case, while it exhibits a stronger delta-function singularity in the line node case. The spin-orbit cross term is shown to be paramagnetic in the electron side while diamagnetic in the hole side, in contrast with other two terms which are both even functions in Fermi energy. The spin-orbit cross term in the nodal semimetal is found to be directly related to the chiral surface current induced by the topological surface modes.

Velocity anisotropy in tidally limited star clusters

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We explore the long-term evolution of the anisotropy in the velocity space of star clusters starting with different structural and kinematical properties. We show that the evolution of the radial anisotropy strength and its radial variation within a cluster contain distinct imprints of the cluster initial structural properties, dynamical history, and of the external tidal field of its host galaxy. Initially isotropic and compact clusters with small initial values of the ratio of the half-mass to Jacobi radius, $r_h/r_J$, develop a strong radial anisotropy during their long-term dynamical evolution. Many clusters, if formed with small values of $r_h/r_J$, should now be characterized by a significant radial anisotropy increasing with the distance from the cluster centre, reaching its maximum at a distance between 0.2 $r_J$ and 0.4 $r_J$, and then becoming more isotropic or mildly tangentially anisotropic in the outermost regions. A similar radial variation of the anisotropy can also result from an early violent relaxation phase. In both cases, as a cluster continues its evolution and loses mass, the anisotropy eventually starts to decrease and the system evolves toward an isotropic velocity distribution. However, in order to completely erase the strong anisotropy developed by these compact systems during their evolution, they must be in the advanced stages of their evolution and lose a large fraction of their initial mass. Clusters that are initially isotropic and characterized by larger initial values of $r_h/r_J$, on the other hand, never develop a significant radial anisotropy.

description: Past studies have indicated that by toddlerhood, children can use a wide range of status cues to predict the outcome of future zero-sum conflicts. Toddlers are additionally sensitive to prestige vs dominance status, expecting different behaviours from low-status others depending on whether status is maintained by consensual precedence or by physical coercion. However, it is also important to understand how status cues affect toddlers' social evaluations of others. In a previous series of studies, toddlers reached for those who were deferred to in zero sum right of way conflicts. However, when the winner won through force toddlers reached for the victim (Thomas et al, 2018). But what was motivating these reaches? How might this differ if the conflict was a different type of conflict? Although Thomas et al. interpreted this finding as a preference to ‘approach’ one character over the other, reaching preferences may merely have reflected interest in one puppet over another rather than affiliative preference. Thus, the present study asks what kinds of inferences toddlers make about the winners and losers of zero-sum conflicts, but with a richer battery of test procedures, including measures of liking, interaction preference and an exploratory measure of expectation of knowledge. We also extend the previous studies using a different conflict: rather than a right-of-way conflict we use a conflict over a resource. In doing so we will shed light on the reaching behaviour from this previous study as well as uncover whether these preferences extend to a different cue of status.
Polarization-dependent photocurrents in polar stacks of van der Waals solids

description: Monolayers of semiconducting van der Waals solids, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), acquire significant electric polarization normal to the layers when placed on a substrate or in a heterogeneous stack. This causes linear coupling of electrons to electric fields normal to the layers. Irradiation at oblique incidence at frequencies above the gap causes interband transitions due to coupling to both normal and in-plane ac electric fields. The interference between the two processes leads to sizable in-plane photocurrents and valley currents. The direction and magnitude of currents is controlled by light polarization and is determined by its helical or non-helical components. The helicity-dependent ballistic current arises due to asymmetric photogeneration. The non-helical current has a ballistic contribution (dominant in sufficiently clean samples) caused by asymmetric scattering of photoexcited carriers, and a side-jump contribution. Magneto-induced photocurrent is due to the Lorentz force or due to intrinsic magnetic moment related to Berry curvature.

description: The limited resolution of a conventional optical microscope stems from the fact that the subwavelength information of an object is carried by evanescent waves, which exponentially decays in space and cannot reach the imaging plane. We introduce here a metamaterial solid immersion lens (mSIL), which utilizes closely-packed high-index nanoparticles as a composite media to effectively convert and transport evanescent waves from near-field to far-field. About 20% of evanescent wave energy of an ideal point source can be directed into far-field by mSIL. This has led to the exceptional imaging performance of mSIL in visible. Using 15 nm diameter TiO2 (n=2.55) nanoparticles as building block, we demonstrated that 45 nm -75 nm features can be resolved by the mSIL under a white light microscope. Our approach opens up the possibility to obtain a 'perfect lens' using pure dielectric materials.

description: We investigate the spatial Public Goods Game in the presence of fitness-driven and conformity-driven agents. This framework usually considers only the former type of agents, i.e., agents that tend to imitate the strategy of their fittest neighbors. However, whenever we study social systems, the evolution of a population might be affected also by social behaviors as conformism, stubbornness, altruism, and selfishness. Although the term evolution can assume different meanings depending on the considered domain, here it corresponds to the set of processes that lead a system towards an equilibrium or a steady-state. We map fitness to the agents' payoff so that richer agents are those most imitated by fitness-driven agents, while conformity-driven agents tend to imitate the strategy assumed by the majority of their neighbors. Numerical simulations aim to identify the nature of the transition, on varying the amount of the relative density of conformity-driven agents in the population, and to study the nature of related equilibria. Remarkably, we find that conformism generally fosters ordered cooperative phases and may also lead to bistable behaviors.

description: Diabetes is an epidemic disease of the 21st century and is growing globally. Although, final diabetes treatments and cure are still on research phase, related complications of diabetes endanger life of diabetic patients. Diabetic coma which happens with extreme high or low blood glucose is one of the risk factor for diabetic patients and if it remains unattended will lead to patient death or permanent brain damage. To reduce the risk of such deaths or damages, a novel algorithm for wearable devices application, especially for smart watches are proposed. Such application can inform the patients relatives or emergency centers, if the person falls in coma or irresponsive condition based on readouts from smart watches sensors including mobility, heart rate and skin moisture. However; such an application is not a final solution to detect all types of coma, but it potentially could save lives of many patients, if widely used among the diabetic patients around the world.

description: Résumé : La demande croissante du marché de la traduction n'est pas aisée à combler, ce qui pousse un certain nombre de traducteurs et de fournisseurs de services de traduction à chercher des outils d'aide à la traduction pouvant complémenter ou remplacer ceux liés aux mémoires de traduction (MT) (Lewis 1997 : 256; O'Brien 2002 : 99, 105-106; Saint-André 2015 : 1-8). Certains se sont tournés vers la traduction automatique (TA), qui paraît permettre certains gains de productivité lorsqu'elle est utilisée en combinaison avec un outil de MT (Guerberof 2009; Lewis 1997 : 256; O'Brien 2002 : 99, 105-106). Toutefois, la question de l’utilisation de la TA par des traducteurs en contexte organisationnel réel semble avoir été peu étudiée. La présente étude, menée en collaboration avec l’équipe de traduction des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), a visé à évaluer si la combinaison d’outils de MT avec des outils de TA peut véritablement rehausser la productivité des traducteurs dans ce type de contexte. Pour ce faire, une analyse des perceptions des traducteurs en rapport aux outils de MT et de TA et une expérience dans le cadre de laquelle des textes ont été traduits à l’aide d’une MT seule ou à l’aide d’une MT et d’un système de TA ont été effectuées. Les données des deux volets de la recherche ont ensuite été analysées pour évaluer les perceptions des participants en rapport aux outils de MT et de TA, déterminer si l’utilisation d’outils de MT et de TA permettait d’atteindre des seuils de productivité plus élevés que l’utilisation d’outils de MT seuls, et vérifier si les perceptions des participants en rapport aux outils utilisés avaient influencé les seuils de productivité atteints. L’étude contribue ainsi à approfondir les connaissances en rapport à l’utilité de la TA en contexte organisationnel réel et en rapport aux perceptions des traducteurs quant aux outils d’aide à la traduction que constituent les MT et la TA.

description: Conformal loop ensembles are random collections of loops in a simply connected domain, whose laws are characterized by a natural conformal invariance property. The set of points not surrounded by any CLE loop is a natural random and conformally invariant analog of the Sierpinski gasket or carpet. In the present paper, we derive a direct relationship between each CLE consisting of simple disjoint loops (CLE($κ$) with $κ$ between 8/3 and 4) and the corresponding CLE($κ'$) where $κ':=16/κ$, a CLE consisting of non-disjoint loops. This is the continuum analog of the Edwards-Sokal coupling (between the q-state Potts model and the associated FK random cluster model) and its generalization to non-integer q. Like its discrete analog, our continuum correspondence has two directions. First, we show that one can construct (variants of) CLE($κ$) as follows: sample a CLE($κ'$), then use a biased coin to independently color each loop one of two colors, and then consider the outer boundaries of the clusters of loops of a given color. Second, we show how to interpret CLE($κ'$) loops as interfaces of a continuum analog of critical percolation within a CLE($κ)$ carpet. This is the first description of continuous percolation interfaces in fractal domains. These constructions provide new interpretations of the relationship between CLEs and the Gaussian free field. Along the way, we obtain results about generalized SLE$(κ;ρ)$ curves, and define a continuous family of natural CLE variants called boundary conformal loop ensembles (BCLEs) that share some (but not all) of the conformal symmetries that characterize CLEs, and that should be scaling limits of critical models with special boundary conditions. We extend the CLE correspondence to a BCLE correspondence that makes sense for all $κ$ between 2 and 4.

description: Both theoretical predictions and observations of the very nearby Universe suggest that low-mass galaxies (log$_{10}$[M$_{*}$/M$_{\odot}$]<9.5) are likely to remain star-forming unless they are affected by their local environment. To test this premise, we compare and contrast the local environment of both passive and star-forming galaxies as a function of stellar mass, using the Galaxy and Mass Assembly survey. We find that passive fractions are higher in both interacting pair and group galaxies than the field at all stellar masses, and that this effect is most apparent in the lowest mass galaxies. We also find that essentially all passive log$_{10}$[M$_{*}$/M$_{\odot}$]<8.5 galaxies are found in pair/group environments, suggesting that local interactions with a more massive neighbour cause them to cease forming new stars. We find that the effects of immediate environment (local galaxy-galaxy interactions) in forming passive systems increases with decreasing stellar mass, and highlight that this is potentially due to increasing interaction timescales giving sufficient time for the galaxy to become passive via starvation. We then present a simplistic model to test this premise, and show that given our speculative assumptions, it is consistent with our observed results.

description: We measure the projected 2-point correlation function of galaxies in the 180 deg$^2$ equatorial regions of the GAMA II survey, for four different redshift slices between z = 0.0 and z=0.5. To do this we further develop the Cole (2011) method of producing suitable random catalogues for the calculation of correlation functions. We find that more r-band luminous, more massive and redder galaxies are more clustered. We also find that red galaxies have stronger clustering on scales less than ~3 $h^{-1}$ Mpc. We compare to two different versions of the GALFORM galaxy formation model, Lacey et al (in prep.) and Gonzalez-Perez et al. (2014), and find that the models reproduce the trend of stronger clustering for more massive galaxies. However, the models under predict the clustering of blue galaxies, can incorrectly predict the correlation function on small scales and under predict the clustering in our sample of galaxies with ~3$L_r$ . We suggest possible avenues to explore to improve these cluster- ing predictions. The measurements presented in this paper can be used to test other galaxy formation models, and we make the measurements available online to facilitate this.

Pattern and process in rare plant conservation: an assessment of the Southeastern U.S.
Creators: name: Marcinko, Sarah E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The development of conservation policy for rare plant species is informed by largescale patterns of distribution and abundance as well as the processes that generate them. I collected data on 224 rare vascular plants in the Southeastern U.S. to characterize patterns of rarity at ecoregional scales, among broad habitat types, and with respect to taxonomic group size. Rare species diversity is highest in Appalachian/Blue Ridge Forests and Southeastern Conifer Forests ecoregions. Most rare plants are concentrated in woodland and glade habitats and larger taxonomic groups. A case-study experimental approach was adopted to explore the significance of reproductive biology in the persistence of a globally imperiled Southeastern endemic plant, Ptilimnium nodosum. The species has a phenologically regulated mixed mating system dependent on insect-mediated pollination. Moderate reproductive output and high seed germinability suggest environmental conditions, not mating system, play a critical role in regulating the species’ distribution and abundance, and favor high immediate fitness gained by vegetative reproduction.

Neutrinos secretly converting to lighter particles to please both KATRIN and the cosmos

description: Within the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics and standard cosmology, observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) set stringent bounds on the sum of the masses of neutrinos. If these bounds are satisfied, the upcoming KATRIN experiment which is designed to probe neutrino mass down to $\sim 0.2$ eV will observe only a null signal. We show that the bounds can be relaxed by introducing new interactions for the massive active neutrinos, making neutrino masses in the range observable by KATRIN compatible with cosmological bounds. Within this scenario, neutrinos convert to new stable light particles by resonant production of intermediate states around a temperature of $T\sim$ keV in the early Universe, leading to a much less pronounced suppression of density fluctuations compared to the standard model.

description: This is the fourth in a series of papers studying the astrophysics and cosmology of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Here, we use measurements of weak gravitational lensing from the Weighing the Giants project to calibrate Chandra X-ray measurements of total mass that rely on the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. This comparison of X-ray and lensing masses provides a measurement of the combined bias of X-ray hydrostatic masses due to both astrophysical and instrumental sources. Assuming a fixed cosmology, and within a characteristic radius (r_2500) determined from the X-ray data, we measure a lensing to X-ray mass ratio of 0.96 +/- 9% (stat) +/- 9% (sys). We find no significant trends of this ratio with mass, redshift or the morphological indicators used to select the sample. In accordance with predictions from hydro simulations for the most massive, relaxed clusters, our results disfavor strong, tens-of-percent departures from hydrostatic equilibrium at these radii. In addition, we find a mean concentration of the sample measured from lensing data of c_200 = $3.0_{-1.8}^{+4.4}$. Anticipated short-term improvements in lensing systematics, and a modest expansion of the relaxed lensing sample, can easily increase the measurement precision by 30--50%, leading to similar improvements in cosmological constraints that employ X-ray hydrostatic mass estimates, such as on Omega_m from the cluster gas mass fraction.
