description: In recent years, electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been increasingly used to complement the bulk determination of metal-ligand equilibria, for example via competitive ligand exchange-adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (CLE-ACSV). However, ESI-MS speciation analyses may be impacted by instrumental artifacts such as reduction reactions, fragmentation, and adduct formation at the ESI source, changes in the ionization efficiencies of the detected species in relation to sample matrix, and peak overlaps in response to increasing sample complexity. In our study, equilibria of the known artificial ligands citrate, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1-nitroso-2-naphthol (NN), and salicylaldoxime (SA) with iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) were investigated by ultra-high resolution ESI-MS, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), under a variety of sample matrix and ionization settings. The acquired mass spectra were compared with metal-ligand equilibrium data from the literature as well as an adapted speciation model. Overall, the mass spectra produced representative species mentioned in previous reports and predicted by the speciation calculations, such as Fe(Cit), Cu(Cit)2, Fe(EDTA), Cu(EDTA), Fe(NN)3, and Cu(SA)2. The analyses furthermore revealed new species which had been hypothesized but not measured directly using other methods, for example ternary complexes of citrate with Fe and Cu, Cu(SA) monomers, and the dimer Fe(SA)2. Finally, parallel measurements of a Cu+SA calibration series and a Cu+SA+EDTA competition series indicated that FT-ICR-MS can produce linear responses and low detection limits analogous to those of ACSV. We propose that ultra-high resolution FT-ICR-MS can be used as a representative tool to study interactions of trace metals with artificial as well as natural, unknown ligands at the molecular level.

description: Motivation The combination of institutional weaknesses, climate change, and overexploitation is increasingly recognized as endangering the Amazon forest. These three factors made 2020 the worst year for forest fires recorded in the previous 60 years. We analyse environmental policies across the nine countries of the Amazon Basin to develop national and regional forest programmes to tackle this scenario. Purpose The study synthesizes and compares key environmental legislation concerning protected natural areas (PNAs) and fire management in the nine countries of the Amazon Basin. To this end, the research question asks what directions can be drawn from a visualization and compilation of national regulations for future policy research and practice. Methods and approach We undertake a critical literature review of PNAs and fire‐management policies across the nine countries of the Amazon Basin and their further alignment using analyses of previous policy reviews on forest codes and land distribution. Findings The article shows the heterogeneity of national fire‐use and fire‐management policies among the nine countries of the Amazon Basin. In addition, it suggests that top‐down policies and regulations are likely to be characterized by misunderstandings (either direct or indirect) of local practice, rationale, and capacity; and, in some cases, risk criminalizing local and indigenous daily subsistence. Policy implications The study indicates the need for more in‐depth research and policy on participatory governance platforms for the use and management of fire, rather than fire‐suppression and fire‐risk adaptation strategies. There are some positive, albeit often isolated, cases, to which scholars, policy‐makers, and environmental practitioners should pay more attention.

description: High energy particles' behavior including fusion born alpha particles in an ITER like tokamak in the presence of background driftwave turbulence is investigated by an orbit following calculation. The background turbulence is given by the toroidal driftwave eigenmode combined with a random number generator. The transport level is reduced as the particle energy increase; the widths of the guiding center islands produced by the passing particles are inverse proportional to the square root of parallel velocities. On the other hand, the trapped particles are sensitive to $E \times B$ drift at the banana tips whose radial displacement is larger for lower energy particles. Coulomb collisional effects are incorporated which modifies the transport process of the trapped high energy particles whose radial excursion resides in limited radial domains without collisions.

description: This paper addresses the question, whether the solutions of the scattering equations in four space-time dimensions can be expressed as rational functions of the momentum twistor variables. This is the case for $n\le5$ external particles. For general $n$ there are always two solutions, which are rational functions of the momentum twistor variables. However, the remaining solutions are in general not rational. In the case $n=6$ the remaining four solutions can be expressed as algebraic functions. These four solutions are constructed explicitly in this paper.

description: Fix an integer $g \neq -1$ that is not a perfect square. In 1927, Artin conjectured that there are infinitely many primes for which $g$ is a primitive root. Forty years later, Hooley showed that Artin's conjecture follows from the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). We inject Hooley's analysis into the Maynard--Tao work on bounded gaps between primes. This leads to the following GRH-conditional result: Fix an integer $m \geq 2$. If $q_1 < q_2 < q_3 < \dots$ is the sequence of primes possessing $g$ as a primitive root, then $\liminf_{n\to\infty} (q_{n+(m-1)}-q_n) \leq C_m$, where $C_m$ is a finite constant that depends on $m$ but not on $g$. We also show that the primes $q_n, q_{n+1}, \dots, q_{n+m-1}$ in this result may be taken to be consecutive.

description: PURPOSE/BACKGROUND Lithium augmentation of antidepressants represents a common strategy to overcome treatment resistance in patients with major depressive disorder. The use of lithium has been associated with cardiovascular adverse effects such as QTc prolongation and tachyarrhythmia. Although the previous studies investigated monotherapy with lithium, the aim of this study was to investigate electrocardiographic changes in LA. METHODS/PROCEDURES A 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) was obtained from 38 patients with major depressive disorder before and during LA. Changes in heart rate, PQ, QRS and QTc interval, QT dispersion, ST segment, and T- and U-wave alterations were analyzed using a linear mixed model. FINDINGS/RESULTS The ECG readings of 33 patients were evaluated. Lithium augmentation was not significantly associated with changes in heart rate, QTc, PQ, or QRS interval. We found a significant decrease in QT dispersion. These results were independent of sex, age, stable comedication, and comorbidities. During LA, we observed 9 cases of T-wave alterations and 2 cases of new U waves. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide no evidence for serious ECG abnormalities at therapeutic serum lithium levels in patients treated with LA. In particular, we did not find evidence for QTc time lengthening or tachyarrhythmia, such as torsades des pointes. The recommended intervals for ECG checks should be considered to detect long-term effects of LA.
Secure Affordable Sustainable Edge Clouds (SASEC) for Smart Cities and Enterprises

description: This paper describes a novel architecture that addresses the need for a low-cost alternative to today’s solution for residential Internet access for households in cities left behind by the digital revolution. Given the costs and security vulnerabilities of all home-owners purchasing and maintaining their own PCs, application software and Internet access, our Secure Affordable Sustainable Edge Clouds (SASEC) solution consolidates computers into an edge cloud, and requires only inexpensive I/O devices, such as Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) terminals and audio input/output devices, in user homes. The term Dumb Connected Devices (DCDs) is used to describe these user-owned systems. SASEC is also a suitable candidate for enterprises, such as university campuses, as it offers a strong security advantage. SASEC vastly reduces the attack surface since users’ DCDs have no processor and no operating system, and hence cannot be compromised and used in botnets. The challenge lies in designing a high-speed network to interconnect the Edge-Cloud (EC) to the DCDs. Initial experiments show that with compression, 50 Mbps is required for 1080p HDTV video. If the EC-DCD network needs to support 100 simultaneous web-browsing sessions with video, then Gb/s wireless solutions are required.

description: Using a multi-level analysis of a sample of 193 employees matched to 58 managers in a regional Australian hospital, this paper examines the effects of management and employee perceptions of high-performance work systems (HPWS) on HR outcomes. These relationships are examined across four distinct occupational groups. The findings suggest that only when management's implementation of HPWS is similar to employees' espoused HR practices that HPWS are translated into greater engagement, job satisfaction, affective commitment and less intention to leave. The results have implications for the management of employees in the healthcare sector and the implementation of HPWS for different occupations within an organisation. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.

Negative and Destructive Criticism among Early Modern Sanskrit Intelligentsia

Subjects: Indian languages

description: The early modern period of Indian history spanning over three centuries (c.1500-1800 CE) is marked with numerous scholarly adventures that encountered fosterage and deterrence, meliorations and decline, and defenders and censurers. While the intellectual renaissance centred in Kāśī (modern Vārāṇasī) attracted scholars from all corners of India and facilitated a rigorous exchange of scholarship, competitive patronage for and recognition of erudition as an essential component of the socio-political dynamics immensely contributed to the maintenance of enthusiasm for knowledge. Careful studies of the early modern Sanskrit literature of manifold genres may reveal hidden depths of the intellectual currents that triggered unprecedented trends and created, nourished, and, in some cases, ruined literary giants and their camps. This paper briefly examines a few instances of negative and destructive criticism in early modern Sanskrit literature, particularly exegetical literature, where scholarly encounters aimed at vigorously beating the opponents and their lines of argument at any cost. Further, it discusses how personal identities were ruthlessly debunked in the guise of literary criticism under the congenial socio-political currents and literary ethics gradually deteriorated.

description: We investigate the star formation activity in the molecular complex associated with the Galactic HII region Sh2-90, using radio-continuum maps obtained at 1280 MHz and 610 MHz, Herschel Hi-GAL observations at 70 -- 500 microns, and deep near-infrared observation at JHK bands, along with Spitzer observations. Sh2-90 presents a bubble morphology in the mid-IR (size ~ 0.9 pc x 1.6 pc). Radio observations suggest it is an evolved HII region with an electron density ~ 144 cm^-3, emission measure ~ 6.7 x 10^4 cm^-6 pc and a ionized mass ~ 55 Msun. From Hi-GAL observations it is found that the HII region is part of an elongated extended molecular cloud (size ~ 5.6 pc x 9.7 pc, H_2 column density >= 3 x 10^21 cm^-2 and dust temperature 18 -- 27 K) of total mass >= 1 x 10^4 Msun. We identify the ionizing cluster of Sh2-90, the main exciting star being an O8--O9 V star. Five cold dust clumps (mass ~ 8 -- 95 Msun), four mid-IR blobs around B stars, and a compact HII region are found at the edge of the bubble.The velocity information derived from CO (J=3-2) data cubes suggests that most of them are associated with the Sh2-90 region. 129 YSOs are identified (Class I, Class II, and near-IR excess sources). The majority of the YSOs are low mass (<= 3 Msun) sources and they are distributed mostly in the regions of high column density. Four candidate Class 0/I MYSOs have been found; they will possibly evolve to stars of mass >= 15 Msun. We suggest multi-generation star formation is present in the complex. From the evidences of interaction, the time scales involved and the evolutionary status of stellar/protostellar sources, we argue that the star formation at the immediate border/edges of Sh2-90 might have been triggered by the expanding HII region. However, several young sources in this complex are probably formed by some other processes.

description: This paper examines the interaction effects of institutional differences in the cognitive, normative, and regulatory domains on cross-border acquisition and alliance formation. Using a sample of 673 cross-border acquisitions and alliances conducted by multinational corporations (MNCs) from the manufacturing sector of six emerging economies (EEs) over the period 1995-2008, we find significant mimicking (cognitive domain) of local firms' choice of ownership modes by EE firms. We also find that regulatory distance (regulatory domain) moderates the mimicking of both foreign and local firms while normative distance does not have any moderating effect. These findings contribute to our understanding of how EE MNCs mimic ownership modes in foreign market entry and how the interaction of this mimetic tendency with other institutional pillars affects these decisions.

description: BACKGROUND Lithium augmentation (LA) of antidepressants is an effective strategy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Nevertheless, it is rarely used in geriatric patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate treatment response of LA in geriatric compared to non-geriatric patients. METHOD In a prospective multicenter cohort study, severity of depression was measured weekly in 167 patients with unipolar depression (nage≥65years = 22; nage<65years = 145) at baseline and over at least four weeks of LA. RESULTS Geriatric patients showed a significantly better response to LA compared to non-geriatric patients (Hazard Ratio = 1.91; p = 0.04). LIMITATIONS An important limitation of our study is the lack of a control group of LA and the missing evaluation of side effects in both groups. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study investigating the efficacy of LA for TRD in geriatric compared to non-geriatric patients. Our data suggest that LA is an effective treatment option in geriatric patients that clinicians might consider more frequently and earlier on in the course of treatment.

description: In this work we use the formalism of chord functions (\emph{i.e.} characteristic functions) to analytically solve quadratic non-autonomous Hamiltonians coupled to a reservoir composed by an infinity set of oscillators, with Gaussian initial state. We analytically obtain a solution for the characteristic function under dissipation, and therefore for the determinant of the covariance matrix and the von Neumann entropy, where the latter is the physical quantity of interest. We study in details two examples that are known to show dynamical squeezing and instability effects: the inverted harmonic oscillator and an oscillator with time dependent frequency. We show that it will appear in both cases a clear competition between instability and dissipation. If the dissipation is small when compared to the instability, the squeezing generation is dominant and one can see an increasing in the von Neumann entropy. When the dissipation is large enough, the dynamical squeezing generation in one of the quadratures is retained, thence the growth in the von Neumann entropy is contained.

description: We investigate inflationary Higgs dynamics and constraints on the Standard Model parameters assuming the Higgs potential, computed to next-to-next leading order precision, is not significantly affected by new physics. For a high inflationary scale $H\sim 10^{14}$ GeV suggested by BICEP2, we show that the Higgs is a light field subject to fluctuations which affect its dynamics in a stochastic way. Starting from its inflationary value the Higgs must be able to relax to the Standard Model vacuum well before the electroweak scale. We find that this is consistent with the high inflationary scale only if the top mass $m_t$ is significantly below the best fit value. The region within $2σ$ errors of the measured $m_t$, the Higgs mass $m_h$ and the strong coupling $α_s$ and consistent with inflation covers approximately the interval $m_t \lesssim 171.8\,{\rm GeV} + 0.538(m_h-125.5\,{\rm GeV})$ with $125.4\,{\rm GeV}\lesssim m_h\lesssim 126.3\,{\rm GeV}$. If the low top mass region could be definitively ruled out, the observed high inflationary scale alone, if confirmed, would seem to imply new physics necessarily modifying the Standard Model Higgs potential below the inflationary scale.

description: Relativistic and QED corrections are calculated for the hyperfine splitting (hfs) in the $2S_{1/2}$ ground state of $^{9}$Be$^+$ ions with an exact account for electronic correlations. The achieved accuracy is sufficient to determine the finite nuclear size effects from the comparison to the experimental hfs value. The obtained results establish the ground to determine the neutron halo in $^{11}$Be.

description: We consider the problem of computing satisfactory pairs of solutions of the differential equation for Legendre functions of non-negative integer order $μ$ and degree $-\frac12+iτ$, where $τ$ is a non-negative real parameter. Solutions of this equation are the conical functions ${\rm{P}}^μ_{-\frac12+iτ}(x)$ and ${Q}^μ_{-\frac12+iτ}(x)$, $x>-1$. An algorithm for computing a numerically satisfactory pair of solutions is already available when $-11$, the function $\Re\left\{e^{-iπμ} {Q}^μ_{-\frac{1}{2}+iτ}(x) \right\}$. The proposed algorithm allows the computation of the function on a large parameter domain without requiring the use of extended precision arithmetic.

description: This study analyses human resource management (HRM) in Men’s Sheds in Australia. Men’s Sheds are volunteer-based, not-for-profit, grass-roots community organisations that provide health-related resources and an avenue for largely older and retired men to engage with each other and the community. The research is timely given the escalating numbers of retired men and rising national health care costs in Australia. We used a sample of over 200 Men’s Sheds throughout Australia and matched 419 member responses to 162 leaders. Based on mediation analysis, we found that perceived human resource practices support the retention of membership and enhance the social connectedness, and health and well-being of men members. The quality of relationships between leaders and members was also important for membership retention. The study demonstrates the importance of HRM in grass-roots community-based organisations and its role in supporting the health and well-being of the community.

description: We analyze how a firm's home country influences its internationalization. We propose two complementary types of influence. First, we conceptualize a firm's international trade as shaped by four drivers: comparative advantage, comparative disadvantage, country-of-origin advantage, and country-of-origin liability. Second, we conceptualize the firm's foreign direct investment as shaped by four other drivers: institutional learning, competitive learning, institutional escape, and competitive escape. Taken together, these eight drivers help pull together recent theoretical advances on topics such as emerging-market multinationals, investment in tax havens, and cross-border acquisitions of firms in advanced countries. We also highlight other home-country related issues, such as strategic responses and home-host country links, in the spirit of fostering future research on home-country effects that warrant a more nuanced understanding.

description: Can domestic political capital be transferable to more or less similar institutional contexts abroad? Motivated by contradictory results in two streams of research, this study seeks to combine the insights from two theoretical arguments and conceptualize the role of domestic political ties in international expansion as a dual problem of securing key resources from home governments and looking for opportunities in foreign markets and matching resources to capture them. We adopt the notion of network complementarity to examine the complementarity effect of domestic political ties and foreign ties on international expansion. The implication is that EMNE research that concentrates on either looking for foreign opportunities or securing domestic resources, but not both, is likely to be incomplete when international expansion is being studied. Using a longitudinal panel dataset of Chinese international new ventures expanding to 105 foreign markets, we find a positive interactive effect of domestic political ties and foreign ties on Chinese MNEs’ internationalization. This positive interactive effect on internationalization is found to be stronger for expanding to developing host markets than to developed host markets. We discuss the implications of these findings for research on domestic political ties, the international expansion literature, the network complementarity literature, and the international entrepreneurship literature.

description: Catalytic steam reforming of renewable feedstock to renewable energy or chemicals always goes with intense coking activities that produce carbonaceous products leading to low performance and eventual catalyst deactivation. A supported metal catalyst such as Ni/Al2O3 is known to catalyse gasification and decomposition of biomass feedstock largely for renewable fuel production with promising results. Catalyst deactivation from high carbon deposition, agglomeration, and phase transformations resulting in rapid deactivation are some of the issues identified with the use of the catalyst. In this work, improvement on the coke resistance and catalytic properties of the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst is sought via the use of a thermally stable and coke-resistant perovskite La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.5Mn0.5O3-δ (LSCM) as catalyst promoter/modifier and involving Zirconia-doped Ceria (Ce-Zr) as alternative support in steam reforming of pure and by-product glycerol. The stabilizing influence of the LSCM on the Ni catalyst has improved stability against agents of deactivation with a significant improvement of catalytic activity of Ni/Al2O3 in H2 production and robust suppression of carbon deposition. Particularly, the synergy between the LSCM promoter and alternative Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 support enhanced the basic and redox properties known for Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 support in contrast to the weak acid centres in the γ-Al2O3 support which further improved nickel stability, catalyst-support interaction with a resultant high catalytic activity, and robust coke suppression as a result of enhanced oxygen mobility. There is a correlation between the product distribution, nature of coke deposited, and reforming temperature, as well as the type of support and structural modification. Hence, the integration of a robust perovskite material as a catalyst promoter and choice of support could be tailored in the design and development of robust catalyst systems to improve the performance of supported metal catalysts particularly the suppression of carbon deposition for hydrocarbon and biomass conversion to renewable fuel or chemicals.

description: L’objectiu primordial d’aquest treball és investigar i analitzar la relació entre subjecte i ciutat, considerant les causes i conseqüències que en sorgeixen. Pretenem, a través de l’obra de Berman Todo lo sólido se desvanece en el aire. La experiencia de la Modernidad com a fil conductor d’aquesta investigació, analitzar i concloure l’estreta relació que es despendrà de la reurbanització del que seran les grans ciutats modernes i l’individu amb esperit creatiu i imaginatiu. Un dels nostres objectius principals és visualitzar el vincle entre entorn urbà i individu que constitueix la vida quotidiana i l’estètica urbana que caracteritza les societats occidentals modernes. És a dir, volem mostrar la cohesió que apareix entre el veí i l’espai comunitari de manera que puguem determinar l’establiment d’una cultura urbana amb una visió estètica i uns principis creatius que construeixen el dia a dia de l’individu modern a les grans ciutats. Aquesta relació també ens permetrà determinar quin efecte tenen les reurbanitzacions de les capitals mundials sobre la vivència quotidiana de la Modernitat.
 Més concretament, proposem un estudi basat en tres transformacions urbanístiques rellevants en la història de la Modernitat: París del segle XIX, Nova York durant el segle XX i finalment, Barcelona a finals del segle XX i principis del segle XXI. Presentarem primer una definició del canvi de paradigma que suposen les reurbanitzacions de les ciutats (Secció 3.1.). Amb l’anàlisi de la reurbanització de París (Secció 3.2. i 3.3.) busquem establir uns principis estètics sobre la urbanitat per a, consegüentment, observar el desenvolupament d’aquesta fundació estètica i analitzar el lligam creatiu que apareix a Nova York entre ciutat i subjecte (Seccions 3.5. i 3.6.). I, finalment, mitjançant el context establerts en els precedents de París i Nova York, pretenem analitzar amb profunditat les nocions estètiques del barri de El Raval i els carrers contingents al Sant Antoni de Barcelona (Secció 4.3.).

description: In this paper, we study the general impact of stellar mass-ejection events in planetary orbits in post-common envelope binaries with circumbinary planets like those around NN Serpentis. We discuss a set of simple equations that determine upper and lower limits for orbital expansion and investigate the effect of initial eccentricity. We deduce the range of possible semi-major axes and initial eccentricity values of the planets prior to the common-envelope event. In addition to spherically-symmetric mass-ejection events, we consider planetary dynamics under the influence of an expanding disk. In order to have survived, we suggest that the present planets in NN Ser must have had semi-major axes $\,{}^>_{\sim}\, 10$ AU and high eccentricity values which is in conflict with current observations. Consequently, we argue that these planets were not formed together with their hosting stellar system, but rather originated from the fraction of matter of the envelope that remained bound to the binary. According to the cooling age of the white dwarf primary of $10^6$ yr, the planets around NN Ser might be the youngest known so far and open up a wide range of further study of second generation planet formation.
