description: It has recently been speculated that the solar neutrino mixing angle is connected to the golden ratio phi. Two such proposals have been made, cot theta_{12} = phi and cos theta_{12} = phi/2. We compare these Ansatze and discuss a model leading to cos theta_{12} = phi/2 based on the dihedral group D_{10}. This symmetry is a natural candidate because the angle in the expression cos theta_{12} = phi/2 is simply pi/5, or 36 degrees. This is the exterior angle of a decagon and D_{10} is its rotational symmetry group. We also estimate radiative corrections to the golden ratio predictions.

description: We used the large binocular camera (LBC) mounted on the large binocular telescope (LBT) to observe the Lockman Hole in the U, B, and V bands. Our observations cover an area of 925 sq.arcmin. We reached depths of 26.7, 26.3, and 26.3 mag(AB) in the three bands, respectively, in terms of 50% source detection efficiency, making this survey the deepest U-band survey and one of the deepest B and V band surveys with respect to its covered area. We extracted a large number of sources (~89000), detected in all three bands and examined their surface density, comparing it with models of galaxy evolution. We find good agreement with previous claims of a steep faint-end slope of the luminosity functions, caused by late-type and irregular galaxies at z>1.5.

An Analysis of a Misconception of Probability among Future Mathematics Teachers
Creators: name: Jendraszek, Patricia
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: Probability is receiving increased coverage in all levels of education. Knowledge of the Law of Large Numbers may be an important factor in developing a true understanding of the subject. Study results evidence a lack of awareness of this fundamental principle among teachers of mathematics. Study results also suggest that additional probability preparation in teacher education may address this deficiency and allow probability to be taught more effectively.

description: Over the last ten years blind source separation (BSS) has become a prominent processing tool in the study of human electroencephalography (EEG). Without relying on head modeling BSS aims at estimating both the waveform and the scalp spatial pattern of the intracranial dipolar current responsible of the observed EEG. In this review we begin by placing the BSS linear instantaneous model of EEG within the framework of brain volume conduction theory. We then review the concept and current practice of BSS based on second-order statistics (SOS) and on higher-order statistics (HOS), the latter better known as independent component analysis (ICA). Using neurophysiological knowledge we consider the fitness of SOS-based and HOS-based methods for the extraction of spontaneous and induced EEG and their separation from extra-cranial artifacts. We then illustrate a general BSS scheme operating in the time-frequency domain using SOS only. The scheme readily extends to further data expansions in order to capture experimental source of variations as well. A simple and efficient implementation based on the approximate joint diagonalization of Fourier cospectral matrices is described (AJDC). We conclude discussing useful aspects of BSS analysis of EEG, including its assumptions and limitations.

AB effect and Aharonov-Susskind charge non-superselection
Creators: name: Erez, Noam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a particle in a coherent superposition of states with different electric charge moving in the vicinity of a magnetic flux. Formally, it should acquire a (gauge-dependent) AB relative phase between the charge states, even for an incomplete loop. If measureable, such a geometric, rather than topological, AB-phase would seem to break gauge invariance. Wick, Wightman and Wigner argued that since (global) charge-dependent phase transformations are physically unobservable, charge state superpositions are unphysical (`charge superselection rule'). This would resolve the apparent paradox in a trivial way. However, Aharonov and Susskind disputed this superselection rule: they distinguished between such global charge-dependent transformations, and transformations of the relative inter-charge phases of two particles, and showed that the latter \emph{could} in principle be observable! Finally, the paradox again disappears once we considers the `calibration' of the phase measured by the Aharonov-Susskind phase detectors, as well as the phase of the particle at its initial point. It turns out that such a detector can only distinguish between the relative phases of two paths if their (oriented) difference forms a loop around the flux.

description: Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is invoked to address turbulent fluctuations in a variety of astrophysical systems. MHD turbulence in nature is often anisotropic and imbalanced, in that Alfvenic fluctuations moving in opposite directions along the background magnetic field carry unequal energies. This work formulates specific requirements for effective numerical simulations of strong imbalanced MHD turbulence with a guide field B0 High-resolution simulations are then performed and they suggest that the spectra of the counter-propagating Alfven modes do not differ from the balanced case, while their amplitudes and the corresponding rates of energy cascades are significantly affected by the imbalance. It is further proposed that the stronger the imbalance the larger the magnetic Reynolds number that is required in numerical simulations in order to correctly reproduce the turbulence spectrum. This may explain current discrepancies among numerical simulations and observations of imbalanced MHD turbulence.

description: We use panel data from Germany to analyze the effect of population density on urban air pollution (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and ozone). To address unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variables, we present long difference/fixed effects estimates and instrumental variables estimates, using historical population and soil quality as instruments. Our preferred estimates imply that a one-standard deviation increase in population density increases air pollution by 3-12%.

A Study of the Relationship Between Student Teachers’ Expectations of Pupil Success and the Management of Classroom Discourse
Creators: name: Weinberg, Stuart
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this article is to summarize the methodology and findings in the case studies of three student teachers in secondary school mathematics. The broad area of interest is the relationship between beliefs and practice. In the study, “beliefs” refers to expectations teachers have that students will be successful in learning with understanding. In regard to practices, a focal point was a student teacher’s questions and instructions articulated while managing classroom discourse. An analysis of solicitations was intended to provide a measure of the kind of thinking in which student teachers expect their students to engage. During the study, a coding scheme was created, refined, and applied to lesson transcripts for the purpose of “making visible” the management of classroom discourse. The study may provide a basis for further research on student teachers’ practice.

description: Checkpoint blockade is particularly based on PD-1/PD-L1-inhibiting antibodies. However, an efficient immunological tumor defense can be blocked not only by PD-(L)1 but also by the presence of additional immune checkpoint molecules. Here, we investigated the co-expression of several immune checkpoint proteins and the soluble forms thereof (e.g., PD-1, TIM-3, LAG-3, PD-L1, PD-L2 and others) in humanized tumor mice (HTM) simultaneously harboring cell line-derived (JIMT-1, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7) or patient-derived breast cancer and a functional human immune system. We identified tumor-infiltrating T cells with a triple-positive PD-1, LAG-3 and TIM-3 phenotype. While PD-1 expression was increased in both the CD4 and CD8 T cells, TIM-3 was found to be upregulated particularly in the cytotoxic T cells in the MDA-MB-231-based HTM model. High levels of soluble TIM-3 and galectin-9 (a TIM-3 ligand) were detected in the serum. Surprisingly, soluble PD-L2, but only low levels of sPD-L1, were found in mice harboring PD-L1-positive tumors. Analysis of a dataset containing 3039 primary breast cancer samples on the R2 Genomics Analysis Platform revealed increased TIM-3, galectin-9 and LAG-3 expression, not only in triple-negative breast cancer but also in the HER2+ and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer subtypes. These data indicate that LAG-3 and TIM-3 represent additional key molecules within the breast cancer anti-immunity landscape.

description: Earthshine is sunlight that has been reflected from the dayside Earth onto the dark side of the Moon and back again to Earth. In recent times, there has been renewed interest in ground-based visible and near-infrared measurements of earthshine as a proxy for exoplanet observations. Observations of earthshine allow us to explore and characterize the globally integrated photometric, spectral and polarimetric features of the Earth, and to extract precise information on the distinctive characteristics of our planet, and life in particular. They also allow us to quantify how this feature changes with time and orbital configuration. Here we present a brief review of the main earthshine observations and results.

Can the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Classification Accurately Predict Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage?
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: BACKGROUND—Many scoring systems have been developed for the purpose of estimating of mortality and outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the utility of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Society (WFNS) classification, which is routinely used in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, has never been specifically assessed in ICH. METHODS—A retrospective review of the records of consecutive ICH patients admitted over a 2-year period was carried out. Collected data included ICH size, location, intraventricular hemorrhage, age, admission Glasgow Coma Scale scores, and outcomes on discharge. Linear regression was performed to confirm correlations of the WFNS scale and the ICH score separately with good outcome, poor outcome, and inhospital mortality. Receiver–operator characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to plot WFNS and ICH scores each in relation to in-hospital mortality and poor outcome. Accuracy was estimated by calculating the area under the curves (AUC). RESULTS—In this study, 128 patients were included. The overall mortality rate was 34.4%. Linear regression showed appropriate fit for both the ICH Score and the WFNS in relation to poor outcome and mortality. The ROC curves for the scales in relation to in-hospital death produced an AUC estimate 0.93 for WFNS and 0.92 for the ICH Score (p = 0.81). For poor outcome, the AUC values were 0.91 and 0.90 for the WFNS and the ICH Score, respectively (p = 0.9). For good outcome, the AUC for WFNS was 0.86 and for the ICH score, 0.85 (p = 0.74). CONCLUSION—The WFNS classification is as accurate as the ICH score in predicting discharge outcomes and in-hospital mortality. It is a simple clinical scale that can be used to predict outcomes in both ICH and subarachnoid hemorrhage patients.

description: The data on arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) detected with the Yakutsk array are analyzed. The work is induced by the recent claim of the Pierre Auger collaboration for the significant correlation found between UHECRs and positions of nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on the celestial sphere; and no correlation the HiRes collaboration stands for. Conflicting data of four giant arrays concern possible extragalactic sources of UHECRs and appeal to the profound analysis and to the future data from the Telescope Array/Northern Auger Observatory.

The impact of altitude, soil geology, and soil depth on Pinus patula solid wood properties for structural timber and plywood production
Creators: name: Van Der Merwe, Jaco-Pierre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Climate is known to impact the growth of plantation forests in South Africa. To characterize the conditions, this study developed temperature and rainfall models for specific plantations in the Lowveld Escarpment and Highveld forestry regions of South Africa. The local climate models use a finer scale than world climate models, and they improve the understanding of how terrain features impact regional climate and historic tree growth. In addition, the finer scale models give insights into the relationship between the local terrain condition and regional climate. Plantation forests were originally established in South Africa to meet an increasing demand for solid wood products as there was a limited supply from native forests. The majority of the commercial softwood plantations were established with Mexican Pinus patula. Since growing conditions are known to impact tree growth, tree form, and wood quality of P. patula, sample plots were established over a cross-section of plantations in the Lowveld Escarpment and Highveld forestry regions of South Africa that covered an array of geologies and altitudes. Soil, growing days, and temperature were found to have little impact on tree form and wood properties. However, rainfall and specifically, spring rainfall, was found to have a highly significant impact on late wood formation, proportion of juvenile core, and wood density. In addition, tree height was found to be strongly correlated with maximum annual temperature. Veneer derived from Lowveld trees had more splitting, which was largely related to defects. Larger trees also had a greater volumetric heartwood percentage and had a smaller live crown height portion, compared to smaller trees. Highveld trees also had greater net veneer recovery and produced better quality veneer than trees grown on the Lowveld. Annual maximum temperature and tree height had a negative relationship with the recovered lumber properties and dimensional stability. Spring rainfall appears to be the most important factor influencing lumber twist and this was possibly due to the associated larger juvenile core present in the trees.

description: Objectives: To examine a relationship between protein C (PC) and antithrombin III (AT III) activities with ejection fraction of left ventricle (EFLV), in the early phase of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), and to investigate whether PC and AT III are associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 6 months following from pPCI. Patients and methods: The research had a prospective character and included 357 patients who had, following the diagnosis of the STEMI, undergone pPCI at the Clinic of Cardiology and Emergency Internal Medicine, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade, Serbia, from January 2010 until April 2019. Results: The EFLV positively correlated with PC values (rho = 0.229). There was a statistically significant increase in the PC values between patients with MACE compared with those without MACE at 6 months’ follow-up evaluation (p < 0.0001). Also, significant difference in PC values between patients who died in hospital and those who were alive at 6 months’ follow-up (p < 0.01) was observed. PC values were different across different EFLV groups (p < 0.001), increasing from the 1st to the 4th EFLV quartiles: the median and the interquartile values for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quartiles were 1.0400IU/l ± 0.15, 1.1400IU/l ± 0.15, 1.1350IU/l ± 0.16 and 1.2200IU/l ± 0.14, respectively. Conclusion: Increased PC activity in the early phase of STEMI is associated with higher EFLV 5 days after the pPCI as well as with MACE at 6 months after the pPCI.

description: Abstract
In simple terms, lung cancer is a significant challenge that the fields of science and medicine are working hard to overcome, which gives the highest mortality rate, besides being one of the smallest survival rates after diagnosis. Thereby, early detection is essential for diagnosis and treatment. All people in this universe require a proper diagnosis of the tumor. Diagnosis need to be in maximizing the payoff. Increasing the payoff is much important mainly in medical diagnosis. Machines need to do an intelligent task in diagnosis of tumor and in this case the lung tumor. Here, the investigation is done with different solvers. Deep learning with a Convolutional Neural Network compatible with the analysis of Computer tomography scans with tumors; the level of accuracy in predictions sees a tremendous enhancement. Classification of tumors by Convolutional Neural Network as malignantorbenign with good accuracy is obtained.

description: An experimental setup was developed for the measurement of the thermoelectric power (TEP, Seebeck coefficient) in the temperature range from 2 to 350 K and magnetic fields up to 140 kOe. The system was built to fit in a commercial cryostat and is versatile, accurate and automated; using two heaters and two thermometers increases the accuracy of the TEP measurement. High density data of temperature sweeps from 2 to 350 K can be acquired in under 16 hours and high density data of isothermal field sweeps from 0 to 140 kOe can be obtained in under 2 hours. Calibrations for the system have been performed on a platinum wire and Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ high $T_{c}$ superconductors. The measured TEP of phosphor-bronze (voltage lead wire) turns to be very small, where the absolute TEP value of phosphor-bronze wire is much less than 0.5 $μ$V/K below 80 K. For copper and platinum wires measured against to the phosphor-bronze wire, the agreement between measured results and the literature data is good. To demonstrate the applied magnetic field response of the system, we report measurements of the TEP on single crystal samples of LaAgSb$_{2}$ and CeAgSb$_{2}$ in fields up to 140 kOe.

description: Background and aim: Verrucous hyperplasia (VH) and verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the head and neck are two (pre)malignant entities that are slowly progressive with low tendency to metastasize. However, they can reduce the patient’s Quality of Life (QoL) and may even transform into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). As they are typically approached by surgical resection, some patients do not qualify for surgery. Methotrexate may be a systemic alternative but the response is mostly not durable. This case report tries to illustrate the potential role of methotrexate in VH/VC of the head and neck. Method: We describe four cases of patients with VH or VC of the head and neck who received methotrexate (40–60 mg/m2) in a weekly or two-weekly interval. Results: Two patients received methotrexate in a neoadjuvant setting. The first patient achieved a macroscopical complete response after 16 cycles and remained in remission after surgery. The second patient suffered from residual disease after 26 cycles and refused radical surgery. Two other patients refused surgery at the time of diagnosis and were proposed methotrexate as a salvage treatment. The first patient had an ongoing response on methotrexate after >60 cycles. The second patient achieved macroscopical complete remission after 28 cycles of methotrexate but suffered relapse by developing an oropharyngeal SCC in the same region. Conclusion: When surgery is not desirable in VH and/or VC, patients can be treated with methotrexate which has a reasonable effect and seems to be well tolerated. Nevertheless, surgery should be the preferred strategy to achieve complete remission.

The main result is that if there exists a solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,r)$ with $r>1$ odd then this is the only solution in integers greater than 1, with the possible exception of finitely many values $(c,r)$. We also prove the uniqueness of such a solution if any of $a$, $b$, $c$ is a prime power. In a different vein, we obtain various inequalities that must be satisfied by the components of a putative second solution.

description: Kondo systems are usually described by the interaction of strong correlation induced local moment with the highly itinerant conduction electrons. Here, we study the role of electron correlations among conduction electrons in the electronic structure of a Kondo lattice compound, Ce$_2$CoSi$_3$, using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and {\it ab initio} band structure calculations, where Co 3$d$ electrons contribute in the conduction band. High energy resolution employed in the measurements helped to reveal signature of Ce 4$f$ states derived Kondo resonance feature at the Fermi level and dominance of Co 3$d$ contributions at higher binding energies in the conduction band. The line shape of the experimental Co 3$d$ band is found to be significantly different from that obtained from the band structure calculations within the local density approximations, LDA. Consideration of electron-electron Coulomb repulsion, $U$ among Co 3$d$ electrons within the LDA+$U$ method leads to a better representation of experimental results. Signature of electron correlation induced satellite feature is also observed in the Co 2$p$ core level spectrum. These results clearly demonstrate the importance of the electron correlation among conduction electrons in deriving the microscopic description of such Kondo systems.

description: We have obtained velocity dispersions from Keck high-resolution integrated spectroscopy of ten M31 globular clusters (GCs), including three candidate intermediate-age GCs. We show that these candidates have the same V-band mass-to-light (M/L_V) ratios as the other GCs, implying that they are likely to be old. We also find a trend of derived velocity dispersion with wavelength, but cannot distinguish between a systematic error and a physical effect. Our new measurements are combined with photometric and spectroscopic data from the literature in a reanalysis of all M31 GC M/L_V values. In a combined sample of 27 GCs, we show that the metal-rich GCs have *lower* M/L_V than the metal-poor GCs, in conflict with predictions from stellar population models. Fragmentary data for other galaxies support this observation. The M31 GC fundamental plane is extremely tight, and we follow up an earlier suggestion by Djorgovski to show that the fundamental plane can be used to estimate accurate distances (potentially 10% or better).

Inside the UTeach Program: Implications for Research in Mathematics Teacher Education
Creators: name: Wasserman, Nicholas H.
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: As the national impetus to advance education continues to look toward improving the teachers sent into the classroom, more research needs to be done to in the area of mathematics teacher education. A number of recent studies have summarized, synthesized, and developed useful information about what should be viewed as important in mathematics teacher training. This paper looks at some of these claims from current research and uses the UTeach program from the University of Texas at Austin as a means of elaborating on how some theoretical issues might be addressed in practice. A number of implications are proposed in response to the discussion, one in particular addressing a gap in current research about understanding when beginning mathematics teachers learn the attributes helpful for good mathematics instruction.

The targum (1979: Feb. 1 - 1979:Feb. 19)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1979

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

A clinical trial of titrated tongue stabilizing device therapy for obstructive sleep apnea : efficacy, quality of life, compliance, and side effects
Creators: name: Alshhrani, Waled Mohammed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Objectives: To determine the short-term efficacy and subjective outcomes of tongue stabilizing device (TSD) therapy; to compare to mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy in an adult with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); and to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, compliance, and side effects of the TSD. Methods: This thesis involves the analysis of a non-randomized trial followed by an observational study. In a quasi-experimental design, the efficacy of TSD and MAD interventions was evaluated based on the respiratory event index and subjectively evaluating sleepiness, quality of life (QoL) and fatigue. TSD users were then followed for 12- and 30-month periods after therapy insertion. Their compliance was self-reported, and the side effects were determined based on questionnaires and 3D model analysis. Results: Of 39 patients who received the TSD therapy, 27 who managed to complete the trial were matched with 26 patients who received the MAD therapy. At the 2-month and 30-month follow-ups, the acceptance rate of the TSD therapy amounted to 53.8% and 15.4%, respectively. TSD and MAD therapies demonstrated a significant improvement in efficacy based on the respiratory event index, with no significant differences between the two treatments. An objective measure of blood pressure showed a statistically significant difference between treatments, with an increase in blood pressure in TSD users compared to a decrease for MAD users. Furthermore, in TSD users, the only subjective outcome measure that significantly improved was the fatigue. In contrast, after the MAD therapy, subjective measures showed significant improvement in sleepiness, QoL and fatigue. At the 30-month follow-up, I observed a significant average improvement in TSD users in sleepiness compared to the baseline. The most frequently reported side effects with TSD therapy included mouth dryness and excessive salivation, and one subject appeared to have developed central sleep apnea. The results of 3D analysis revealed varying magnitudes and patterns of tooth movement associated with TSD. Conclusions: The studies demonstrated similar improvement in apnea/hypopnea events and oxygen saturation between TSD and MAD therapies. TSD therapy was found to be an inferior treatment in terms of daytime sleepiness, QoL improvements, blood pressure and acceptance rate.

description: To meet the requirements for New York State certification in the teaching of secondary school mathematics, student teachers complete placements in both a middle school and a high school. In addition to working in the classroom, they maintain journals and post them online. The journals provide an opportunity for student teachers to reflect on their practice and to learn from others. In addition, student teachers attend weekly seminars at the College. By doing so, they become members of a community of practitioners. NOTES FROM THE CLASSROOM contains excerpts from the journals.

Current and Needed Research on Alternative Certification Programs
Creators: name: Ham, Edward
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: With alternative certification programs gaining popularity in teacher education, the need to evaluate these programs has become much more necessary. Without strict guidelines to classify alternative certification programs, it is difficult to make generalizations about these programs because of different requirements for completion and certification. Furthermore, differing research analyses result in conflicting views, making alternative certification programs even more difficult to evaluate. This article examines the results of several research studies and focuses upon two key components of teacher education: coursework and fieldwork. Researchers have called for different types of studies to evaluate alternative certification programs more effectively. Several of these research questions have been included in this article.

Extended black hole cosmologies in de Sitter space

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We generalize the superposition principle for time-symmetric initial data of black hole spacetimes to (anti-)de Sitter cosmologies in terms of an eigenvalue problem $Δ_gϕ={1/8}(R_g-2Λ)ϕ$ for a conformal scale $ϕ$ applied to a metric $g_{ij}$ with constant three-curvature $R_g$. Here, $R_g=0,2$ in the Brill-Lindquist and, respectively, Misner construction of multihole solutions for $Λ=0$. For de Sitter and anti-de Sitter cosmologies, we express the result for $R_g=0$ in incomplete elliptic functions. The topology of a black hole in de Sitter space can be extended into an infinite tower of universes, across the turning points at the black hole and cosmological event horizons. Superposition introduces binary black holes for small separations and binary universes for separations large relative to the cosmological event horizon. The evolution of the metric can be described by a hyperbolic system of equations with curvature-driven lapse function, of alternating sign at successive cosmologies. The computational problem of interacting black hole-universes is conceivably of interest to early cosmology when $Λ$ was large and black holes were of mass $

description: Using the results of a numerical simulation which follows the evolution, metal enrichment and energy deposition of both Population III and Population II stars, we predict the redshift dependence of the formation rate of black hole remnants of Population III stars with masses 100- 500Msun and of neutron stars(black holes) remnants of Population II stars with masses 8-20Msun (20-40Msun). We describe the gravitational wave spectrum produced by Population III and Population II sources adopting the most appropriate signals available in the literature and we compute the stochastic backgrounds resulting from the cumulative emission of these sources throughout the history of the Universe. With the aim of assessing whether these backgrounds might act as foregrounds for signals generated in the Inflationary epoch, we compare their amplitudes with the sensitivity of currently planned and future ground/space-based interferometers.
