Characterization of the Lattice Transitions and Impurities in Manganese and Zinc Doped Ferrite Nanoparticles by Raman Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD)

Abstract Temperature-induced phase transitions and the presence of impurities to the spinel phase ferrite nanoparticles were comparatively assessed using the same annealed samples, by Raman spectroscopy (RS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), in order to point out advantages and disadvantages of either method depending on the research issue at hand. RS revealed gradual phase transitions from predominantly magnetite-like below 250 °C with the possibility of tracking cation vacancies, over maghemite-like at 300–600 °C, hematite-dominated in the 700–1000 °C range, and back to a spinel phase at 1100 °C with a different arrangement of cations on A-sites than the starting sample. On the other hand, XRD on the same samples showed abrupt transition from the spinel structure to hematite between 600 and 700 °C, and back to spinel at 1100 °C, but this technique performed better at revealing other oxide phases present below the identification threshold of Raman spectroscopy. Magnetization measurements support the phase transitions assignments, showing no saturation magnetization for the samples annealed at 700–900 °C, while those annealed at 1000 and 1100 °C re-gained saturation magnetization up to 31.7 emu/g. Magnetite- and maghemite-like structures in the 100–300 °C range are more clearly distinguished by RS than XRD, due to their isostructural character (both have face-centered cubic symmetry). These analytical aspects have to be understood in order to achieve more efficient and comprehensive characterization of synthesized ferrite nanoparticles.
Change of Diet of the Greenland Vikings Determined from Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis and 14C Dating of Their Bones

Bone samples from the Greenland Viking colony provide us with a unique opportunity to test and use 14C dating of remains of humans who depended upon food of mixed marine and terrestrial origin. We investigated the skeletons of 27 Greenland Norse people excavated from churchyard burials from the late 10th to the middle 15th century. The stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of the bone collagen reveals that the diet of the Greenland Norse changed dramatically from predominantly terrestrial food at the time of Eric the Red around AD 1000 to predominantly marine food toward the end of the settlement period around AD 1450. We find that it is possible to 14C-date these bones of mixed marine and terrestrial origin precisely when proper correction for the marine reservoir effect (the 14C age difference between terrestrial and marine organisms) is taken into account. From the dietary information obtained via the δ13C values of the bones We have calculated individual reservoir age corrections for the measured 14C ages of each skeleton. The reservoir age corrections were calibrated by comparing the 14C dates of 3 highly marine skeletons with the 14C dates of their terrestrial grave clothes. The calibrated ages of all 27 skeletons from different parts of the Norse settlement obtained by this method are found to be consistent with available historical and archaeological chronology. The evidence for a change in subsistence from terrestrial to marine food is an important clue to the old puzzle of the disappearance of the Greenland Norse, obtained here for the first time by measurements on the remains of the people themselves instead of by more indirect methods like kitchen-midden analysis.
Cross-layer Optimized Multipath Network Coding for Multichannel Multiradio Multirate Wireless Network

In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization method for multichannel multiradio multirate wireless networks with network coding. We employ a random linear-coding scheme for encoding and decoding operations, and we formulate a network utility maximization framework. To solve the network utility maximization problem, we use the decomposition method. In this method, we derive a congestion control algorithm considering end-to-end feedback in a wireless multihop network, distributed rate control, and heuristic resource allocation algorithm in multichannel, multiradio, and multirate environments. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed method can achieve throughput optimization in multichannel multiradio multirate wireless networks with network coding. Consequently, the proposed method can find the optimal solution of the network utility maximization problem in multichannel multiradio multirate wireless networks with network coding.
Resummation of jet-veto logarithms in hadronic processes containing jets

We derive a factorization theorem for production of an arbitrary number of colorsinglet particles accompanied by a xed number of jets at the LHC. The jets are dened with the standard antikT algorithm, and the xed number of jets is obtained by imposing a veto on additional radiation in the nal state. The formalism presented here is useful for current Higgs boson analyses using exclusive jet bins, and for other studies using a similar strategy. The derivation uses the soft-collinear eective theory and assumes that the transverse momenta of the hard jets are larger than the veto scale. We resum the large Sudakov logarithms n log 2n m p J =p veto up to the next-toleading-logarithmic accuracy, and present numerical results for Higgs boson production in association with a jet at the LHC. We comment on the experimentally-interesting parameter region in which we expect our factorization formula to hold.
A prospective analysis of the interrelationship between lung volume reduction surgery and body mass index § , § §

rom ht Abstract tpsacadem ic.p.com /ejcts/ale-abstract/3 Objectives: LVRS is thought to result in significant improvements in BMI. Patients with a higher BMI at the time of diagnosis of COPD are known to have better survival, and those with a low BMI prior to LVRS have significantly worse perioperative morbidity. We aimed to assess the influence of BMI on the outcome of LVRS in our own experience. Methods: Complete preoperative BMI data was available in 114 of 131 consecutive patients who have undergone LVRS since 1995. These patients were arbitrarily classified into three categories: underweight (BMI 19 kg/m), normal (BMI 20—25 kg/m) and overweight (BMI > 26 kg/m). The in-hospital course and perioperative change in BMI at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months were prospectively recorded for each category and compared.Results: Therewereno significantdifferences inpreoperativevariablesexceptBMI.There were significantlymore postoperative ITU admissions among the lowest two BMI groups (12/29, 18/58 and 3/27 patients, respectively, p = 0.02), and significantly shorter hospital stay in overweight patients [16 days (5—79) vs 18 days (6—111) vs 13 days (6—25), respectively, p = 0.005, expressed as median (range)]. However, therewas nodifference in survival between the three groups ( p = 0.21). Postoperativephysiological improvements in the first yearwere related topreoperativeBMI forbothFEV1 (r = 0.29,p = 0.02) andDLCO(r = 0.33,p = 0.02). PostoperativeBMI significantly increased in the underweight yet significantly decreased in the overweight at all time points. Conclusions: The perioperative course of LVRS and its physiological benefits are influenced by preoperative BMI. Whilst the treatment of the underweight is more complicated, LVRS may be the only way of increasing their BMI. Future work is needed to explore the roles of changing energy requirements and body composition following LVRS. # 2007 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Talent Management and Its Impact on Organizational Commitment: An Empirical Investigation of Indian Hospitality Industry

The hospitality industry grapples with many workforces related issues like many other industries. Talent retention, turnover, commitment are significant issues in the hospitality industry in India. As a result of macro-level concerns such as the recent pandemic, the hospitality industry has started viewing talent management (TM) as a strategic lever to enhance organizational performance through committed and engaged employees. However, though organizational commitment has been an important research topic, only a few studies have been conducted on TM and organizational commitment in the Indian hospitality sector. Therefore, after the review of literature on the related field, the study tested three hypotheses to examine the causal relationship between TM practices and organizational commitment. Structural equation modelling using AMOS 26 was used to find empirical evidence in favour of the proposed hypotheses. The result of the study, showed that TM practices of the hospitality industry significantly influences the organizational commitment among the employees.
SPECTRA OF COSMIC RAY ELECTRONS AND POSITRONS IN THE GALAXY

A new study of the cosmic ray electron and positron spectra is presented, using an anomalous diffusion model to describe the particles propagation in the Galaxy. The parameters defining the anomalous diffusion have been recently determined from the study of nuclei propagation. The computed electron and positron spectra under assumption that positrons, as well as electrons, are accelerated by a galactic source, are in a good agreement with the measurements. The source spectral index, found from experimental data, in this approach turns out to be equal to 2.95 for electrons and positrons. The predicted positron fraction e/(e+e) in high energy region E≈10 ÷10 GeV is ~0.06. PACS 95.30. Jx, 95.85. Ry
Going Deep with Segmentation of Field Recordings

In the paper, we explore the performance of deep residual convolutional networks for labelling ethnomusicological field recordings. Field recordings are integral documents of folk music performances captured in the field, and typically contain performances, intertwined with interviews and commentaries. As these are live recordings, captured in non-ideal conditions, they usually contain significant background noise. Labelling of field recordings is a typical step in segmentation of these recordings, where short sound excerpts are classified into one of a set of predefined classes. In the paper, we explore classification into four classes: speech, solo singing, choir singing (more than one voice) and instrumental performances. We describe the dataset gathered for the task and the labelling tools developed for gathering the reference annotations. We compare different input representations and convolutional network architectures based on residual modules for labelling short audio segments and compare them to the more standard feature based approaches, where an improvement in classification accuracy of over 5% was obtained.
The Impact of Prison Arts Programs on Inmate Attitudes and Behavior: A Quantitative Evaluation

California has been a leader in prison fine arts programs. Arts-in-Corrections, the granddaddy of them all, enjoyed a highly successful 30 year run until its closure in 2010 as a result of the state's budget crisis. This study evaluates three demonstration projects modeled after AIC, and prison theater programs offered through The Actors' Gang's Prison Project and Marin Shakespeare. Inmates from San Quentin, Soledad, New Folsom and CRC, Norco state prisons participated in the study. Pre-and Post surveys designed to measure changes in attitudes and behavior were administered at the start and finish of each 12-week arts program. The surveys included attitudinal scales adapted from the "Life Effectiveness Questionnaire" (LEQ) measuring: time management, social competence, achievement motivation, intellectual flexibility, emotional control, active initiative, and self-confidence. In addition to positive correlations between arts education and life effectiveness attitudes, we found a reduction in disciplinary reports and greater participation in academic and vocation programs. This study supports the findings of other prison arts evaluations in this country and elsewhere.
Intergenerational Cooperation: an Experimental Study on Beliefs

We report on an experiment in which subjects older than 55 years old and subjects younger than 26 years old play repeatedly 4 versions of the centipede game. For each game we define four treatments that allow us to study cooperation and belief formation of these two age groups. We find that beliefs about the others' age group shape the outcome: while seniors are cooperative and generous with juniors when they incur lower opportunity costs, for juniors it is when playing with seniors that they learn the way to the theoretical solution by smoothly decreasing their cooperation levels.
Determining customer's willingness to pay during in-lab and real-life video quality evaluation

Video has undergone rapid evolutions in the recent past, going from analogue to digital and upgrading to High Definition and 3D television. An operator will upgrade his network to provide such higher resolution and higher quality video with the aim to win as many customers as possible and/or receive a higher subscription fee from them than the competition. Clearly customers will be sensitive to higher quality, but estimating if and how much they are willing to pay extra is currently infeasible. Quality of Experience does capture realistically the customers’ perception of quality, but does not automatically translate in Willingness to Pay. This paper makes statistically the relation between Quality of Experience and Willingness to Pay, based on inlab as well as real-life quality evaluation. The outcomes of this study learn the operator how he can relate his network investments to competitive or financial advantages.
Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies on Mn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) Complexes of Amino Acid-Based Ligand

Amino acid ligand derived from the condensation reaction of histidine and acetophenone and its Mn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes were characterized by solubility test, melting point / decomposition temperature, elemental analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, molar conductance, FTIR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility. Elemental analysis indicated 1:2 metal:ligand ratio. Percentage yield of the ligand is 62.84% with a melting point of 188ºC. The percentage yields of the complexes were 89.98%, 57.64% and 81.82% for Mn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes respectively. The decomposition temperatures of the complexes were in the range of 208-222ºC, low molar conductance values of the complexes indicated their non-electrolytic nature. The values of the magnetic moments (5.9BM, 4.0BM and 4.3BM) showed that they are paramagnetic. The ligand and its complexes were tested against bacterial isolates; S. aureus & S. typhi and fungal isolates; C. albicans and A. flavus, using the disc diffusion method. The results indicated that the ligand and its metal(II) complexes exhibited activity at different concentrations against all the species tested.
Improving Bed Topography Mapping of Greenland Glaciers Using NASA’s Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) Data

Author(s): Morlighem, M; Rignot, E; Willis, JK | Abstract: © 2016 by The Oceanography Society. All rights reserved. Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has the potential to raise sea level by 7.36 m and is already contributing to global sea level rise at a rate higher than 1 mm yr–1. Computer models are our best tools to make projections of the mass balance of Greenland over the next centuries, but these models rely on bed topography data that remain poorly constrained near glacier termini. Accurate bed topography in the vicinity of calving fronts is critical for numerical models, as the shapes of the glacier bed and of the nearby bathymetry control both the ocean circulation in the fjord and the stability and response of the ice sheet to climate warming. NASA’s Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) mission is collecting bathymetry data along Greenland fjords at several glacier termini. Here, we show that these measurements are transforming our knowledge of fjord and glacier depths. Using a mass conservation approach, we combine OMG bathymetry with observations of ice velocity and thickness to produce estimates of bed depth and ice thickness across the ice-ocean boundary with unprecedented accuracy and reliability. Our results along the northwest coast of Greenland reveal complex structural features in bed elevation, such as valleys, ridges, bumps, and hollows. These features have important implications for both channeling ice flow toward the continental margin, and for controlling the amount of warm, salty Atlantic Water that reaches the glaciers.
Integrated analysis of direct and proxy genome wide association studies highlights polygenicity of Alzheimer’s disease outside of the APOE region

Recent meta-analyses combining direct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with those of family history (GWAX) have indicated very low SNP heritability of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These low estimates may call into question the prospects of continued progress in genetic discovery for AD within the spectrum of common variants. We highlight dramatic downward biases in previous methods, and we validate a novel method for the estimation of SNP heritability via integration of GWAS and GWAX summary data. We apply our method to investigate the genetic architecture of AD using GWAX from UK Biobank and direct case-control GWAS from the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s Project (IGAP). We estimate the liability scale common variant SNP heritability of Clinical AD outside of APOE region at ~7–11%, and we project the corresponding estimate for AD pathology to be up to approximately 23%. We estimate that nearly 90% of common variant SNP heritability of Clinical AD exists outside the APOE region. Rare variants not tagged in standard GWAS may account for additional variance. Our results indicate that, while GWAX for AD in UK Biobank may result in greater attenuation of genetic effects beyond that conventionally assumed, it does not introduce appreciable contamination of signal by genetically distinct traits relative to direct case-control GWAS in IGAP. Genetic risk for AD represents a strong effect of APOE superimposed upon a highly polygenic background.

Spectroscopic and Structural Properties of Valine Gramicidin A in Monolayers at the Air-Water Interface

Monomolecular films of valine gramicidin A (VGA) were investigated in situ at the air-water interface by x-ray reflectivity and x-ray grazing incidence diffraction as well as polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS). These techniques were combined to obtain information on the secondary structure and the orientation of VGA and to characterize the shoulder observed in its -A isotherm. The thickness of the film was obtained by x-ray reflectivity, and the secondary structure of VGA was monitored using the frequency position of the amide I band. The PM-IRRAS spectra were compared with the simulated ones to identify the conformation adopted by VGA in monolayer. At large molecular area, VGA shows a disordered secondary structure, whereas at smaller molecular areas, VGA adopts an anti-parallel double-strand intertwined 5.6 helical conformation with 30° orientation with respect to the normal with a thickness of 25 Å. The interface between bulk water and the VGA monolayer was investigated by x-ray reflectivity as well as by comparing the experimental and the simulated PM-IRRAS spectra on D2O and H2O, which suggested the presence of oriented water molecules between the bulk and the monolayer.
Prediction of Rape Myth Acceptance by the Ambivalent Sexism

Sexism has typically been described as unitary hostility toward women. However Glick & Fiske (1996, 2001) proposed a more subtle way of sexual discrimination toward women, namely ambivalent sexism and developed the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory(ASI). According to Glick and Fiske, there are two complementary forms of sexist attitudes: hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. Hostile Sexism(HS) can be described as the typical antipathy that is commonly assumed as sexist prejudices. In contrast, Benevolent Sexism(BS) is defined “as a set of interrrelated attitudes toward women that are sexist in terms of viewing women stereotypically and in restrictes roles, but that are subjectively positive in feeling tone and also tend to elicit behaviors typically categorized as prosocial or intimacy seeking”(Glick & Fiske, 1996). Ahn, Kim, & Ahn(2005) developed a Korean version of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (K-ASI) and tested and confirmed the validity of K-ASI. In 2007, K-ASI was revised to extend the range of application for not only adults but also juveniles(Ahn, Paik, Kim, Kim, & Kim, 2007). The present study invesgated how hostile and benevolent sexism predicted the acceptance of rape myth, using the revised K-ASI, and thereby examined the construct validity of the revised K-ASI at the same time.
