Bounds for multiplicities

Let R = K [ x 1 ,x 2 ,. ,x n ] and S = R/I be a homogeneous K algebra. We establish bounds for the multiplicity of certain homogeneous K -algebras S in terms of the shifts in a free resolution of S over R . Huneke and we conjectured these bounds as they generalize the formula of Huneke and Miller for the algebras with pure resolution, the simplest case. We prove these conjectured bounds for various algebras including algebras with quasi- pure resolutions. Our proof for this case gives a new and simple proof of the Huneke-Miller formula. We also settle these conjectures for stable and square free strongly stable monomial ideals I . As a consequence, we get a bound for the regularity of S . Further, when S is not Cohen-Macaulay, we show that the conjectured lower bound fails and prove the upper bound for almost Cohen-Macaulay algebras as well as algebras with a p -linear resolution.
Starvation Levels Affect Behaviors of Wild-Caught and Laboratory-Reared Oil Palm Pollinator Weevil, Elaeidobius kamerunicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Simple Summary Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was introduced into Malaysia from Cameroon in 1981 to increase oil palm pollination. Fruit set development and fruit production significantly increased after the introduction, until a reported decline that began in the late 1980s. Several factors may have contributed to such a decline, including the weevil’s behavior. In this study, we evaluated the diurnal behavior of E. kamerunicus on different starvation level, sexes and sources of E. kamerunicus (wild-caught and lab-reared) through two hours of direct observation. The frequency and the time spent for each behavior, namely the flying (F), moving (M), feeding (E), resting (R), grooming (G) and mating (C) on oil palm flowers were recorded and evaluated. There were significant differences in flying, resting and grooming behavior among starvation levels. A similar result was demonstrated by sources of E. kamerunicus for resting, feeding and mating behavior. Wild-caught E. kamerunicus had a bigger size compared to laboratory-reared E. kamerunicus due to environmental and food source factors, which were limited and less variable for the reared type. Overall, our findings indicate that starvation level, sexes and sources of E. kamerunicus affect the diurnal behavior of E. kamerunicus. Abstract The oil palm pollinating weevil, Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was first introduced into Malaysia from Cameroon as the main oil palm pollinator in 1981. Since then, oil palm pollination has improved and the need for assisted pollination has reduced. However, their pollinating behavior may be influenced by starvation, sexes and sources (wild-caught and lab-reared). A study to determine the effect of starvation level, sexes and sources of E. kamerunicus on their diurnal behavior was conducted utilizing two hours of direct observation between 1130 and 1330 h. The frequency and the time spent for several diurnal behaviors on oil palm flowers were recorded and evaluated. Starvation prevented the weevils from conducting the activities because they probably had to focus more on searching for food to gain energy to perform other behavior. Wild-caught and lab-reared E. kamerunicus differed in their size, while sexes of E. kamerunicus significantly affect the diurnal behavior. However, an in-depth study is needed to determine the relationship between the diurnal behavior of E. kamerunicus and oil palm production.
Review Effects of Dental Implants on Diabetic Patients

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition which produces an inflammatory response in hosts leading to accelerated periodontal destruction and subsequent tooth loss. There is substantial evidence of a dose-response relationship between glycemic control and periodontal health in diabetes. Diabetes and edentulism are especially found to coexist in the elderly. Edentulism in diabetic individuals restricts dietary choices causing reduced consumption of nutrient-dense foods in favor of a soft, starch rich diet. Dental implants restore functional tooth loss, enhancing chewing ability and comfort, speaking ability and facial appearance, consequently improving patient satisfaction and oral health related quality of life. Peri-implant disease is an important consideration in dental implant maintenance therapy in diabetic individuals due to slow wound healing, and increased susceptibility to microbial plaque accumulation and periodontal inflammation. There is evidence of improved glycemic control after insertion of dental implants due to improved masticatory function allowing stimulation of satiety centers in the brain as well as improved nutrition from selection of healthier dietary choices in patients undergoing dietary counseling. Current literature supports the use of implant supported dentures in diabetic patients experiencing poor tissue health and treatment satisfaction despite conventional denture therapy.
We study toroidal and reducible surgeries along knots in S 3 using Heegaard Floer

DEYESO III, ROBERT LEONARD. Obstructing Exceptional Surgeries using Immersed Curves. (Under the direction of Tye Lidman). We study toroidal and reducible surgeries along knots in S using Heegaard Floer homology via immersed curves techniques. Surgeries that contain a Klein bottle are often examples of the former type, and are presentable as a gluing of the twisted I-bundle over the Klein bottle to a knot manifold. We use a genus bound on the surgery slope due to Ichihara and Teragaito to study such gluings with a knot complement of S. Toward reducible surgeries, the Cabling Conjecture of González-Acuña and Short holds that only cable knots admit them. It is one of the largest open problems in low-dimensional topology, and has been verified for many types of knots. We show that almost all thin knots satisfy the conjecture, with possible exception coming from a (possibly non-existent) collection of thin, hyperbolic, L-space knots. This also serves as a reproof that the Cabling Conjecture is satisfied by alternating knots. © Copyright 2022 by Robert Leonard DeYeso III
Protoconcursus: The Concourse Theory of Communication (Conclusion)

Communication is ubiquitous, intrinsically subjective, and schematical in structure and function. A universe of statements for any situation or context is called a concourse, and refers to conversational and not merely informational possibilities, and is arrived at empirically for every concept, every declarative statement, every wish, every object in nature when viewed subjectively, etc. Q samples drawn from concourse are administered as Q sorts, which are factor analyzed and interpreted, leading to understanding. An example is provided of a concourse around the statement "It is raining," and demonstrates that schemata, . made operant by Q factors, and not message systems, are key factors in communication. Discussion focuses on applications in the physical and social sciences and humanities, and on implications for problems in a variety of areas.
Non-monotonic Keplerian velocity profiles around near-extreme braneworld Kerr black holes

We study the non-monotonic Keplerian velocity profiles related to locally non-rotating frames (LNRF) in the field of near-extreme braneworld Kerr black holes and naked singularities in which the non-local gravitational effects of the bulk are represented by a braneworld tidal charge b and the 4D geometry of the spacetime structure is governed by the Kerr–Newman geometry. We show that positive tidal charge has a tendency to restrict the values of the black hole dimensionless spin a admitting the existence of the non-monotonic Keplerian LNRF-velocity profiles; the non-monotonic profiles exist in the black hole spacetimes with tidal charge smaller than b = 0.410 05 (and spin larger than a = 0.768 08). With decreasing value of the tidal charge (which need not be only positive), both the region of spin allowing the non-monotonicity in the LNRF-velocity profile around braneworld Kerr black hole and the velocity difference in the minimum–maximum parts of the velocity profile increase implying growing astrophysical relevance of this phenomenon.
Primordial magnetic fields from self-ordering scalar fields

A symmetry-breaking phase transition in the early universe could have led to the formation of cosmic defects. Because these defects dynamically excite not only scalar and tensor type cosmological perturbations but also vector type ones, they may serve as a source of primordial magnetic fields. In this study, we calculate the time evolution and the spectrum of magnetic fields that are generated by a type of cosmic defects, called global textures, using the non-linear sigma (NLSM) model. Based on the standard cosmological perturbation theory, we show, both analytically and numerically, that a vector-mode relative velocity between photon and baryon fluids is induced by textures, which inevitably leads to the generation of magnetic fields over a wide range of scales. We find that the amplitude of the magnetic fields is given by B∼10−9((1+z)/103)−2.5(v/mpl)2(k/Mpc−1)3.5/√N Gauss in the radiation dominated era for k≲ 1 Mpc−1, with v being the vacuum expectation value of the O(N) symmetric scalar fields. By extrapolating our numerical result toward smaller scales, we expect that B∼ 10−14.5((1+z)/103)1/2(v/mpl)2(k/Mpc−1)1/2/√N Gauss on scales of k≳ 1 Mpc−1 at redshift 0z≳ 110. This might be a seed of the magnetic fields observed on large scales today.
Breaking Bad: A Dataset for Geometric Fracture and Reassembly

We introduce Breaking Bad, a large-scale dataset of fractured objects. Our dataset consists of over one million fractured objects simulated from ten thousand base models. The fracture simulation is powered by a recent physically based algorithm that efficiently generates a variety of fracture modes of an object. Existing shape assembly datasets decompose objects according to semantically meaningful parts, effectively modeling the construction process. In contrast, Breaking Bad models the destruction process of how a geometric object naturally breaks into fragments. Our dataset serves as a benchmark that enables the study of fractured object reassembly and presents new challenges for geometric shape understanding. We analyze our dataset with several geometry measurements and benchmark three state-of-the-art shape assembly deep learning methods under various settings. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the difficulty of our dataset, calling on future research in model designs specifically for the geometric shape assembly task. We host our dataset at https://breaking-bad-dataset.github. io/.
Investigation of Occupational Burnout Levels of Physical Education and Sports Teachers in Terms of Various Factors: The Case of Bayburt and Gümü ş hane Provinces

This research examines the occupational burnout levels of physical education and sports teachers in terms of various factors. In this context, the general survey model, which is consistent with the main purpose of the study, is used in this quantitative study. The survey pool of the research consists of a total of 67 physical education and sports teachers, 5 females and 62 males, working in Bayburt and Gümü ş hane provinces. Convenience sampling method, one of the non-probability sampling approaches, is used in the selection of the research group. Data collection tool is a questionnaire form which consists of two parts. In the first part of the questionnaire, there is the “Personal Information Form”, and in the second part, there is the “Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Form”. Difference and correlation tests are used in statistical evaluations. Accordingly, significant differences are present in the factors of gender, perceived welfare level and exercise status. However, within the scope of marital status, status of being a manager at the current school, current level of duty, location of the current school, perceived personal income level, perceived family income level (including personal income), active sports status and the type of the active sport, there is no significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the scale. However, the research concludes that there are positive and significant relationships between the participants’ total years of service in the teaching profession and the mean scores of the sub-dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between the factors of age and years of service in the teaching profession for the school where they are currently employed, and the sub-dimensions of the scale. As a result, occupational burnout levels of physical education and sports teachers within the scope of various factors are described as they exist.
Detecting CMB modulations and non-Gaussianities from power multipoles

By decomposing the CMB temperature fluctuations \emph{squared} into spherical harmonics, we can define the \emph{CMB power multipoles} as the fundamental observables to quantify any generic modulations in the CMB. This allows for simple direct measurements for the CMB modulations, and also indirect measurements for the CMB trispectrum, which fully determines the CMB modulations in a statistically isotropic universe. The CMB power multipoles can reach the theoretical accuracies higher than the current constraints from Planck observations. The theoretical accuracy for the dipole modulation, $A\sim0.0015$, receives $\sim 10$ times improvement; higher $l$ modulations have even higher accuracies. This calls for practical observational studies of its possible improvements on the CMB modulation and non-Gaussianity constraints.
Raman spectroscopy of CaCu3Ti4O12

The polarized Raman spectra of CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 1 2 (CCTO) single crystals were studied between 10 and 600 K. Five of the eight (2A g + 2E g + 4F g ) Raman active modes expected for the Im3 structure were observed at 292 (F g ),445(A g ), 499(E g ), 511(A g ), and 575(F g ) cm - 1 . The assignment of the Raman lines to modes of definite symmetry and eigenvector was done in close comparison with results of lattice dynamics calculations. The mode frequency vs temperature dependence exhibits no anomalies in the whole temperature range. This is consistent with earlier indications that the high value of the dielectric constants and its strong decrease below 100 K are not related to temperature-dependent atomic displacements. An additional line of A g symmetry, clearly seen at low temperatures is tentatively assigned to vibrations of distorted TiO 6 octahedra, presumably at twin boundaries.
Learning Gradual Argumentation Frameworks using Meta-heuristics

Gradual argumentation frameworks represent arguments and their relationships in a weighted graph. Their mechanics are closely related to neural networks, which are considered as black-box models due to their dense structure with millions of neurons. Recent work tried making them human-understandable by trying to learn parameters that can be well approximated by decision trees. However, the tree remains just an approximation, which leaves the question how faithful it really captures the actual mechanics of the neural network. To circumvent the problem, structure learning ideas can be tailored to the discrete structure of gradual argumentation frameworks to learn sparse neural networks that can be directly interpreted as gradual argumentation frameworks. We discuss the learning problem, sketch a genetic and a particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the problem and show first results on data sets from the UCI machine learning repository.
Ductile void growing in micromorphic GLPD porous plastic solids containing two populations of cavities with different sizes

Gologanu, Leblond, Perrin, and Devaux (GLPD) developed a constitutive model for ductile fracture for porous metals based on generalized continuum mechanics assump-tions. The model predicted with high accuracy ductile fracture process in porous metals subjected to several complex loads. The GLDP model performances over its competitors has attracted the attention of several authors who explored additional capabilities of the model. This paper provides analytical solutions for the problem of a porous hollow sphere subjected to hydrostatic loadings, the matrix of the hollow sphere obeying the GLPD model. The exact solution for the expressions of the stress and the generalized stress the GLPD model involved are illustrated for the case where the matrix material does not contain any voids. The results show that the singularities obtained in the stress distribution with the local Gurson model are smoothed out, as expected with any generalized continuum model. The paper also presents some elements of the analytical solution for the case where the matrix is porous and obeys the full GLPD model at the initial time when the porosity is ﬁxed. The later analytical solution can serve to predict the mechanisms of ductile fracture in porous ductile solids with two populations of cavities with diﬀerent sizes.
Introducing ADIperf, a Canvas for Application-driven IoT Network Performance Evaluation

—The Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of the physical and the digital worlds. It enables a large spectrum of applications such as smart building, smart tracking, smart metering, predictive maintenance, remote control, augmented reality or video surveillance. The diversity of these applications has caused a profusion of the IoT communication technologies offerings for exchanging data between IoT devices and applications. The latter technologies come with different features in terms of range, throughput, latency, scalability, energy, etc. Each technology can fit several use cases and a use case can leverage several technologies. It is complex, yet critical, for an IoT architect to evaluate the adequacy and the limits of a network technology for a targeted application and to continuously optimize its configuration as the deployment evolves. This paper introduces ADIperf, a canvas to simplify and systematize the evaluation of the performance of an IoT communication technology for a given IoT use case and context. The ADIperf approach pays special attention to the energy efficiency as well as to the ability of an IoT communication technology to properly scale up with the number of end-devices, with the ultimate goal of giving guidelines and tools for IoT architects to select the technology and configure the network that fulfill their application’s needs over time.
Working while studying in higher education: the impact of the economic crisis on academic and labour market success (preprint version)

M . Working whilst studying in higher education: The impact of the economic crisis on academic and labour market success . Eur J Educ. 2017 ; 52 : 231 – 244 , which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1111/ejed.12212. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving. Summary A thorough analysis of the phenomenon of combining working and studying among university students is made using data obtained from surveys of graduates carried out four years after finishing their degrees. First, the article revises the evolution of the phenomenon over the last ten years taking the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU) labour market insertion surveys for 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014 into account. Second, the 2008 and 2014 waves are compared to analyse the impact of the economic crisis. In this case, how combining working and studying affects academic results and labour market insertion is studied, in addition to whether or not differences occur according to the educational background of the family. The evolution shows how the numbers of students that combine work and study has increased, especially among those whose parents have a low educational level. Furthermore, this increase means that lower marks are obtained and there is a greater degree of inequality in labour market insertion, depending on the educational background of the family of origin. In general, the relationship between the different variables shows how combining working and studying has negative effects on marks, but positive effects on labour market insertion, especially if the experience of work while at university is related to the studies.
Effect of a training of pelvic muscles in group for women with urinary incontinence: a randomized clinical test

Introduction : Urinary incontinence (UI) is a problem that is often underestimated, not receiving proper attention. Among the possibilities for conservative treatment of UI, supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) should be recommended as a first line of treatment for women. PFMT followed CONSORT recommendations. The evaluation instruments were the PERFECT scale, ICIQ-SF and PISQ-12. The main outcome was improvement in pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, and secondary outcomes were improvement in quality of life (QOL) and sexual function (SF). Results : With twelve weeks of treatment, the PFMT group protocol presented as a more effective form of treatment for UI, since it showed improvement in the Power and QV items. When observing the effect of the protocols, after twenty-four weeks, both were effective only when referring to the secondary outcomes, QOL and SF. Conclusion : It can be assumed that the group intervention, used in this specific sample, constitutes a feasible and viable physiotherapeutic intervention strategy, able to benefit many women with UI, besides being a tool that is easy for patients to understand and follow.
Clinical Consensus Statement: Vaginal Energy-Based Devices

Abstract This clinical consensus statement on vaginal energy-based devices (EBDs) reflects an update by content experts from the American Urogynecologic Society’s EBD writing group. In 2019, the American Urogynecologic Society’s EBD writing group used a modified Delphi process to assess statements that were evaluated for consensus after a structured literature search. A total of 40 statements were assessed and divided into 5 categories: (1) patient criteria, (2) health care provider criteria, (3) efficacy, (4) safety, and (5) treatment considerations. Of the 40 statements that were assessed, 28 reached consensus and the remaining 12 did not. Lack of evidence was among the main reasons that vulvovaginal EBD treatment statements did not reach consensus. In March 2022, these statements were reassessed using the interim literature.
Role of Hematological Parameters in Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Pulmonary System Involvement

Aim : Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by generalized micro and macroangiopathy. Mortality in SSc is primarily due to pulmonary complications. This study was aimed to reveal the relationship between parenchymal and vascular involvements of the pulmonary system and hematological parameters in patients with SSc. Material and Method: Participants were divided into three groups: both interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), those with only ILD and those with neither ILD nor PH. Laboratory data were compared between these groups. Results : ILD was found to be associated with high red cell distribution width (RDW) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, independent of PH. The platelet (PLT) count was significantly lower, and the RDW to PLT ratio (RPR) level was significantly higher in those with ILD and PH coexistence compared to those with only ILD. Conclusion : RPR can be used as screening parameters for PH in ILD associated with SSc. Abstract
