description: The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) includes provisions that specifically address Federal Agencies' responsibilities when their activities involve National Historic Landmark (NHL) properties. Section 106 and its implementing regulations, "Protection of Historic Properties" (36 CFR Part 800), address Federal Agency (Agency) responsibilities when an undertaking will affect properties eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Section 106 requires Agencies, prior to approval of an undertaking, to "take into account" effects of an undertaking on historic properties. NHLs designated by the Secretary of Interior are included in this group. Section 110(f) of the Act also outlines the specific actions that an Agency must take when NHLs may be directly and adversely affected by an undertaking. Agencies must, "to the maximum extent possible...minimize harm" to NHLs affected by undertakings. Both Sections 106 and 110(f) also require Agencies to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on the undertaking.

description: We investigate charge transfer in prototypical molecular donor-acceptor compounds using hybrid density functional theory (DFT) and the GW approximation at the perturbative level (G0W0) and at full self-consistency (sc-GW). For the systems considered here, no charge transfer should be expected at large intermolecular separation according to photoemission experiment and accurate quantum-chemistry calculations. The capability of hybrid exchange-correlation functionals of reproducing this feature depends critically on the fraction of exact exchange $α$, as for small values of $α$ spurious fractional charge transfer is observed between the donor and the acceptor. G0W0 based on hybrid DFT yields the correct alignment of the frontier orbitals for all values of $α$. However, G0W0 has no capacity to alter the ground-state properties of the system, because of its perturbative nature. The electron density in donor-acceptor compounds thus remains incorrect for small $α$ values. In sc-GW, where the Green's function is obtained from the iterative solution of the Dyson equation, the electron density is updated and reflects the correct description of the level alignment at the GW level, demonstrating the importance of self-consistent many-body approaches for the description of ground- and excited-state properties in donor-acceptor systems.

description: Questa intervista a Mario Grasso, poeta, saggista, narratore, critico letterario, direttore editoriale dialettologo (1932-2022), trae spunto dalla traduzione da lui curata di un'antologia delle opere di uno dei più amati poeti e pittori ucraini dell’800, Taras Ševčenko, edita nel 1989 dalla casa editrice Prova d’Autore, per la quale gli è stato conferito il “Premio Internazionale Franko” a Kiev. L’opera letteraria di Ševčenko rappresenta un’occasione di riflessione e di rievocazione anche di momenti personali del Poeta Mario Grasso e, a distanza di due secoli, si propone nella sua più tragica attualità della guerra che affligge il popolo ucraino. La voce di Mario Grasso in questa intervista esprime con elevata sensibilità la testimonianza del suo umano coinvolgimento e ci guida verso un percorso di comprensione di quella sofferenza umana che lo stesso Ševčenko aveva descritto. Mario Grasso è scomparso il 3 ottobre del 2022. La pubblicazione di questa intervista è quindi a lui postuma. Ciò le conferisce un ulteriore significato, probabilmente, senza volerlo, quello di un suo “Testamento” letterario, nel quale è possibile scorgere la personalità di un grande intellettuale del Novecento, la cui voce risuona oggi più che mai nel frastuono della Guerra.
description: This interview with Mario Grasso, poet, essayist, nar rator, literary critic, editorial director, dialectologist (1932-2022), is inspired by the translation he edited of an anthology of the works (with 76 tables out of text) of one of the most beloved Ukrainian poets and painters of the 800, Taras Hryhorovyč Ševčenko, published in 1989 by the publishing house Prova d'Autore, for which he was awarded the "Interna tional Franko Prize" in Kiev. Shevchenko's literary work represents an opportunity for reflection and re enactment of personal moments of the poet Mario Grasso and after two centuries it is proposed in its most tragic actuality of the war that afflicts the Ukrainian people. Mario Grasso's voice in this inter view expresses with high sensitivity the testimony of his human involvement and guides ustowards a path of understanding of that human suffering that Ševčenko himself had described. Mario Grasso passed away on October 3, 2022. The publication of this interview is therefore posthumous to him. This gives it a further meaning, probably, unintentionally, that of his literary "Testament" in which it is possible to see the personality of a great intellectual of the twentieth century, whose voice resounds today more than ever in the din of the War.

description: Il contributo pone l’accento sulla committenza della famiglia Gesualdo nei territori irpini di Taurasi e Gesualdo. Il rinnovamento stilistico promosso da Fabrizio attraverso l’edificazione della chiesa del Rosario a Taurasi, viene sancito dalla pala rosariana di Giovanni Balducci per l’altare maggiore. L’intervento del pittore in tali luoghi, segna una volontà di continuità nelle scelte familiari, nonché una particolare preferenza per l’artista, che sarà condivisa anche da Carlo, principe di Venosa, per la realizzazione del dipinto del Perdono di Gesualdo, nella chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie. La chiesa del Rosario di Taurasi continuerà ad avere un ruolo significativo anche nel corso del Settecento, come si evince dalle opere di Giacinto Diano.
description: The essay focuses the commissioning of the Gesualdo family in the Irpinia territories of Taurasi and Gesualdo. The stylistic renewal promoted by Fabrizio through the construction of the Church of the Rosary in Taurasi, is sanctioned by the altarpiece of the Virgin of the Rosary by Giovanni Balducci for the high altar. The intervention of the painter in these places marks a desire for continuity in the choices of the family, as well as a particular preference for the artist, which will also be shared by Carlo, prince of Venosa, for the realization of the painting The Pardon of Gesualdo, in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The Church of the Rosary in Taurasi will continue to play a significant role also during the eighteenth century, as evidenced by the works made by Giacinto Diano.
title: Assessing the theoretical and practical impact of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons as a disarmament law instrument
Creators: name: Evans, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: The negotiation and subsequent entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) marked a momentous, though controversial, legal development in the pursuit of a nuclear weapon-free world. The TPNW establishes legally binding prohibitions on the use, possession, and development of nuclear weapons applicable globally on a non-discriminatory basis, alongside disarmament ‘pathways’ through which nuclear disarmament can proceed. However, each of the nuclear weapon possessing states (NWPS) has vigorously opposed the TPNW, raising questions as to what contribution the treaty can have in facilitating progress towards nuclear disarmament in the absence of the NWPS within a positivist, consent-based international legal system. Facing these concerns, this thesis aims to determine precisely what impact and influence the TPNW can bring as a legal instrument to the pursuit of a nuclear weapons-free-world. This is pursued in two ways. First, the discussion examines the ‘theoretical’ potential and contribution of the TPNW on the wider pre-existing international nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament legal regime by assessing the content of the treaty’s nuclear disarmament-related provisions, particularly the prohibitions and disarmament ‘pathways’ under Articles 1 and 4 respectively. Second, the thesis explores the ‘practical’ influence of the TPNW in reinvigorating nuclear disarmament-related discourse and progress within multilateral disarmament forums since 2017. This also examines the possible emergence of customary international law prohibitions on the use of nuclear weapons stemming from the adoption of the TPNW. Overall, this thesis offers an original, holistic account that explores the TPNW’s ability to advance the objective of nuclear disarmament. Ultimately, however, the conclusions reached suggest that while the TPNW has the potential to significantly contribute to nuclear disarmament law, its impact in practice remains limited so far. Time may therefore be needed for the TPNW to mature normatively and instituionally before its real value can be determined.

1. Many studies of the movements of riverine fish have found that most individuals are sedentary and occupy very restricted home ranges. Recently, this 'Restricted Movement Paradigm' has been challenged and there is currently a need for tests of the home range concept as a theoretical basis for describing the movements of riverine fish. In this paper, I describe a radio-tracking study of golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) and carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the Broken River, Australia that aims to assess the home range concept as a means of describing the movements of these species.2. A random movement analysis and a translocation experiment were conducted to test for site fidelity and home range occupation. Both golden perch and carp exhibited strong site fidelity and occupied restricted home ranges. Carp had larger total home ranges than golden perch, and both species had areas of concentrated use (core areas) within the home range.3. Several golden perch and carp exhibited shifts in the locations of their home ranges during the study. To incorporate such shifts into a theoretical framework, a 'home range shift' conceptual model is proposed and the need to consider the temporal stability of site fidelity when describing home range movements is discussed.
On Dynamics of Rigid Sphere-reinforced Metacomposite  Beams and Rods
Creators: Meng, Jiacen
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

An analytical model is presented to study dynamic behaviors of rigid sphere-reinforced random metacomposites. The model is based on the concept that the deviation of the displacement field of embedded rigid spheres from the displacement field of the composite is responsible for novel dynamic behaviors of stiff sphere-reinforced metacomposites. Compared to the existing models, the present model offers a simple general method to analyze dynamic problems of rigid sphere-reinforced random metacomposites, and its validity and efficiency are demonstrated by comparing the predicted results for bandgap with known experimental or numerical data on several typical steel/glass/lead-polymer metacomposites. Several basic dynamic problems of rigid sphere-reinforced metacomposite beams and rods are investigated, and some novel dynamic phenomena (such as vibration isolation, localized buckling, and natural frequency within the bandgap caused by an attached concentrated mass) are demonstrated. The main results include: 1). natural frequencies of a rigid sphere-reinforced metacomposite beam or rod always stay outside of the bandgap, independent of all other material and geometrical parameters, while a concentrated mass attached to the free end of a rod may cause a natural frequency within the bandgap. 2). a rigid sphere-reinforced metacomposite beam or rod can exhibit vibration isolation phenomena so that the forced vibration is highly localized near the site of the applied external periodic excitation and vanishing small in all other parts of the beam or rod when the external excitation frequency falls within the bandgap, while the forced vibration does spread into the entire beam or rod when the excitation frequency is out of the bandgap. 3). a hinged rigid sphere-reinforced metacomposite beam under a constant compressive load can exhibit localized buckling at the critical buckling state when the mass ratio of the rigid-sphere phase to the matrix phase is vanishingly small.

16R-HETE and 16S-HETE Alter Human Cytochrome P450 1B1 through Transcriptional and Allosteric Mechanism
Creators: Hidayat, Rahmat
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Cardiac hypertrophy is a complex anomaly of the heart associated with increased muscle mass and thickening of the cell walls in response to accumulative stress. Although this condition occurs naturally, the prolonged state will progress into heart failure or even cause death. Recent studies have revealed the eccentricity of cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) and its associated cardiotoxic mid-chain HETEs metabolites in developing cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Facilitated by CYP, AA can be metabolized into several bioactive compounds such as epoxyeicotrienoic acids (EETs) and hydoyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). The latter is further categorized into mid-chain, subterminal, and terminal HETEs. Subterminal HETEs have been involved in various physiological and pathophysiological processes; however, their role in cardiac hypertrophy has not been fully defined. For that reason, the objectives of the current study are; 1) to determine the possible effect of subterminal HETEs, R and S enantiomers of 16 HETE, on CYP1B1 gene expression in vitro in RL-14 cells, 2) to investigate the modulatory effect of 16-HETE  enantiomers in vitro on CYP1B1 enzyme activity medicated by human recombinant enzyme CYP1B1 and human liver microsomes, and 3) to examine the modulatory effect of 16R-HETE and 16S-HETE on different CYP450 enzyme. Our results showed that both enantiomers of 16-HETE significantly upregulated CYP1B1 at mRNA and protein levels in RL-14 cell lines. This modulation occurred through a transcriptional mechanism, as evident by transcriptional induction and luciferase assay. Furthermore, neither post-transcriptional nor post-transcriptional modification was involved in the phenomenon since there was no change in CYP1B1 mRNA and protein stability upon treatment of 16-HETE enantiomers. Surprisingly, 16-HETE enantiomers significantly increased CYP1B1 activity in RL-14 cells, recombinant human CYP1B1, and human liver microsomes. On the contrary, 16-HETE enantiomers significantly inhibited CYP1A2 catalytic activity mediated by the recombinant human CYP1A2 and human liver microsomes. The sigmoidal binding mode of these enzyme activities represents that CYP1B1 activation occurred through allosteric regulation. In conclusion, our study provides the first evidence that 16R-HETE and 16S-HETE increase CYP1B1 gene expression, protein through the transcriptional mechanism, and CYP1B1 at catalytic activity mediated by human recombinant CYP1B1 and liver microsome through an allosteric mechanism.

description: Component selection is considered one of hard tasks in Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE). It is difficult to find the optimal component selection. CBSE is an approach that is used to develop a software system from pre-existing software components. Appropriate software component selection plays an important role in CBSE. Many approaches were suggested to solve component selection problem. In this paper the component selection is done by improving the integrated component selection framework by including the pliability metric. Pliability is a flexible measure that assesses software quality in terms of its components quality. The validation of this proposed solution is done through collecting a sample of people who answer an electronic questionnaire that composed of 20 questions. The questionnaire is distributed through social sites such as Twitter, Facebook and emails. The result of the validation showed that using the integrated component selection framework with pliability metric is suitable for component selection.

title: Development and Cross-Validation of a Cadence-Based Metabolic Equation for Walking
Creators: name: Moore, Christopher C
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The ACSM Metabolic Equation is a widely recognized equation for predicting metabolic intensity from walking speed. However, an equation that uses an observable metric (i.e., cadence [steps/min]), accounts for individual characteristics, and is validated across walking conditions may enable more accessible and accurate predictions of walking intensity. PURPOSE: To develop metabolic equations that predict metabolic intensity (oxygen consumption; mL/kg/min) from cadence using a large treadmill walking dataset (Study One) and cross-validate these equations during overground unconstrained and cadence-constrained walking conditions (Study Two). METHODS: In Study One, 193 adults (21-81 years) completed treadmill walking bouts while oxygen consumption was measured with indirect calorimetry (converted to metabolic equivalents [METs]; 1 MET=3.5 mL/kg/min=1 kcal/kg/min). Directly-observed step counts divided by bout duration produced cadence. The least squares regression of the cadence-intensity relationship produced a simple equation and a full equation was developed using best subsets regression (additional possible predictors of leg length, body mass, BMI, percent body fat, sex, and age). Predictive accuracy and bias of each cadence-based metabolic equation and the ACSM Metabolic Equation was evaluated through k-fold cross-validation. In Study Two, these three metabolic equations were applied to data collected from 20 young adults during overground walking at self-selected paces (unconstrained) and with foot-strikes entrained to music tempos (cadence-constrained). RESULTS: In Study One, the simple equation predicted walking intensity within 0.5 METs, on average, and approximately no bias (CONCLUSIONS: The simple equation performed comparably to the full equation (which accounted for individual characteristics) and appreciably better than the ACSM Metabolic Equation. The simple cadence-based metabolic equation is an improved, user-friendly tool for predicting and prescribing walking intensity with reasonable accuracy (within ~0.5 METs; 45 kcals/hr for the average American).

description: We show that fast radio bursts arise from collisions between axion stars and neutron stars. The bursts are emitted in the atmosphere of the neutron stars. The observed frequencies of the bursts are given by the axion mass $m_a$ such as $m_a/2π\simeq 1.4\,\mbox{GHz}\,\big(m_a/(6\times 10^{-6}\mbox{eV})\big)$. From the event rate $\sim 10^{-3}$ per year in a galaxy, we can determine the mass $\sim 10^{-11}M_{\odot}$ of the axion stars. Using these values we can explain short durations ( $\sim $ms ) and amount of radiation energies ( $\sim 10^{43}$GeV ) of the bursts.

title: Impact of Footwear on Mechanisms of Knee Osteoarthritis Progression
Creators: name: Steiner, Ethan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease affecting the entire knee joint by inducing pathological changes to the cartilage and menisci. Currently, the etiology of OA is not completely understood. However, altered gait mechanics, specifically increased joint loading, of OA patients have a clear association with both symptomatic and structural OA progression. Non-surgical intervention tools, such as variable stiffness shoes (VSS), have been developed as a way to decrease loading within the knee joint. However, with external moments being surrogate measures for knee loading, it is unclear if changes in knee moments with the footwear are sufficient to result in a clinical benefit. Therefore, this project’s purpose was to investigate whether a VSS intervention can alter knee joint loading and menisci function in a knee OA population. We used gait analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, and finite element (FE) analysis to determine the effect of VSS on gait mechanics, knee joint contact force, and menisci stress and strain, compared to a control shoe. We found knee moments did not decrease with the VSS intervention. Furthermore, participants who did experience a decrease in knee adduction moment did not always experience a decrease in medial compartment contact force. However, results from our FE modeling of the tibiofemoral joint indicate significant changes in knee joint contact force can influence stress placed on the menisci. Results from this study suggest knee contact forces and tissue stress, not only external moments, should be considered when investigating if VSS can positively impact an OA population.

Individuals that occupy restricted home ranges for long periods have little chance to sample surrounding habitats and may only be able to respond to changes in the distribution of resources at very local scales. Processes leading to the selection of a home range, therefore, potentially have an important bearing on individual fitness and, ultimately, on population structure. In this study, movements associated with the establishment of home ranges by golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in an Australian lowland river were examined using radiotelemetry. To examine behaviour associated with exploration and settlement into new home ranges, fish were artificially translocated into an unfamiliar river section. Although there was substantial intraspecific variation in patterns of movement, all fish tracked over the entire study period eventually settled into restricted home ranges. Several fish of both species either moved away from established home ranges and settled in new areas, or undertook large-scale movements and subsequently returned to the original home range. It is suggested that such movements may provide a mechanism by which fish can reap the benefits of home-range occupation whilst still being able to respond to changes in the distributions of spatially and temporally dynamic resources.

description: All’inizio del Paradiso, Dante offre un’interpretazione delle macchie lunari che rappresenta un superamento della teoria del raro e del denso di origine averroistica da lui sostenuta nel Convivio. L’articolo mette in evidenza che l’argomentazione degli specchi addotta per la spiegazione delle macchie lunari (Par. II, 97-105), non deve essere considerata come un esperimento di fisica o di ottica, ma come un semplice esercizio di logica da eseguirsi mentalmente. Per quanto concerne l’aspetto poetico, nel Canto II e III del Paradiso Dante utilizza il mito di Narciso non solo per impreziosire i suoi versi, ma anche come modello a cui comparare l’atto di negazione dell’amor sui e l’abbandono totale alla volontà divina di Piccarda. Alcuni critici descrivono quest’ultima come una figura ancora legata alle sue vicende terrene, mentre deve essere invece considerata come una beata che ha ormai conseguito la pienezza della felicità cristiana (beatitudo). Il saggio, inoltre, evidenzia la funzione simbolica e strutturale dei numeri in un Canto importante, sotto l’aspetto numerologico, come il III del Paradiso e il settantesimo della Divina Commedia.
description: At the beginning of Paradise, Dante offers an interpretation of the moon spots that represents an overcoming of the Averroistic theory of the rare and the dense that he sustained in Convivio. The article highlights that the argumentation of the mirrors used to explain the moon spots (Par. II, 97-105), should not be considered as a physics or optics experiment, but as a simple exercise of logic to be performed mentally. As far as the poetic aspect is concerned, in Canto II and III of Paradise Dante uses the myth of Narcissus not only to embellish his verses, but also as a model to which to compare Piccarda’s act of denial of amor sui, and her total abandonment to the divine will. Some critics describe her as a figure still tied to her earthly affairs, whereas she instead must be considered as a blessed woman who has now achieved the fullness of Christian happiness (beatitudo). The essay, moreover, highlights the symbolic and structural function of numbers in a Canto as important, under the numerological aspect, as the III of Paradise and the seventieth of the Divine Comedy.

On the Nature of the Extreme-Ultraviolet Late Phase of Solar Flares

description: The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) late phase of solar flares is a second peak of warm coronal emissions (e.g., Fe XVI) for many minutes to a few hours after the GOES soft X-ray peak. It was first observed by the EUV Variability Experiment (EVE) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The late phase emission originates from a second set of longer loops (late phase loops) that are higher than the main flaring loops. It is suggested as being caused by either additional heating or long-lasting cooling. In this paper, we study the role of long-lasting cooling and additional heating in producing the EUV late phase using the "enthalpy-based thermal evolution of loops" (EBTEL) model. We find that a long cooling process in late phase loops can well explain the presence of the EUV late phase emission, but we cannot exclude the possibility of additional heating in the decay phase. Moreover, we provide two preliminary methods based on the UV and EUV emissions from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board SDO to determine whether an additional heating plays some role or not in the late phase emission. Using nonlinear force-free field modeling, we study the magnetic configuration of the EUV late phase. It is found that the late phase can be generated either in hot spine field lines associated with a magnetic null point or in large-scale magnetic loops of multipolar magnetic fields. In this paper, we also discuss why the EUV late phase is usually observed in warm coronal emissions and why the majority of flares do not exhibit an EUV late phase.

description: Chip-based cavity optomechanical systems are being considered for applications in sensing, metrology, and quantum information science. Critical to their development is an understanding of how the optical and mechanical modes interact, quantified by the coupling rate $g_{0}$. Here, we develop GaAs optomechanical resonators and investigate the moving dielectric boundary and photoelastic contributions to $g_{0}$. First, we consider coupling between the fundamental radial breathing mechanical mode and a 1550 nm band optical whispering gallery mode in microdisks. For decreasing disk radius from $R=5$ $μ$m to $R=1$ $μ$m, simulations and measurements show that $g_{0}$ changes from being dominated by the moving boundary contribution to having an equal photoelastic contribution. Next, we design and demonstrate nanobeam optomechanical crystals in which a $2.5$ GHz mechanical breathing mode couples to a 1550 nm optical mode predominantly through the photoelastic effect. We show a significant (30 $\%$) dependence of $g_{0}$ on the device's in-plane orientation, resulting from the difference in GaAs photoelastic coefficients along different crystalline axes, with fabricated devices exhibiting $g_{\text{0}}/2π$ as high as 1.1 MHz for orientation along the [110] axis. GaAs nanobeam optomechanical crystals are a promising system which can combine the demonstrated large optomechanical coupling strength with additional functionality, such as piezoelectric actuation and incorporation of optical gain media.

Towards quantum applications of buckled dome microcavity devices
Creators: Bu, Lintong
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This thesis describes the theory, fabrication, and characterization of monolithic integrated

membrane-in-the-middle (MIM) optomechanical Fabry-Perot resonators and elliptical

birefringent Fabry-Perot optical resonators. Both types of devices were fabricated on a silicon

wafer using a thin-film buckling self-assembly technique.

The MIM optomechanical cavity work follows that of a previous student, who had

developed a method for releasing a free-standing silicon nitride (SiN) membrane embedded in a

buckled dome microcavity, by using a surface micromachining (sacrificial etching) approach. In

the present work, an improved photolithography method and an improved PECVD recipe for SiN

deposition were developed. Concurrently, a vacuum system was designed and constructed,

enabling optical measurements to be performed under a vacuum environment. Finally, in-situ

vacuum-sealing of the optical cavities was attempted by deposition of various ‘sealing’ layers

such as parylene deposition, sputtering of Si/SiO2, and plasma enhance chemical vapor

deposition (PECVD) of SiO2. While these attempts were not entirely successful, they did provide

an important basis for future work. The fabricated optical cavities exhibited a finesse of ~ 500 at

1550 nm wavelength range. Furthermore, mechanical vibrational modes were observed with

mechanical quality factor ~200 for fundamental resonant frequencies in the ~ 5MHz-15MHz

range for different devices.

For the elliptical cavities, buckled domes with a large difference in radius of curvature

along the major and minor axis were realized through appropriate patterning of a low-adhesion

layer. These birefringent optical cavities exhibit astigmatism (two nested sets of Hermite-

Gaussian modes reflecting the two radii of curvature) and birefringence (slightly non-degenerate

iii

resonant wavelengths for polarization along the major and minor axes of the ellipse). The

observed astigmatism and birefringence are in good agreement with the predictions of a vector-

modified paraxial wave theory. The cavities exhibited finesse of ~ 250 at 1550 nm wavelength

range and polarization-mode splitting of the fundamental mode by ~25 GHz.
