Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores the implementation of a novel intensive mobility program for community dwelling stroke survivors involving a multidisciplinary team and selfmanagement approach. Interventions aimed at increasing amounts of practice after stroke are known to improve functional outcomes such as mobility. Recently there has been a drive to quantify dosage of practice more accurately in stroke rehabilitation to better determine the effect of practice on functional outcomes. This is particularly pertinent in community settings, which do not commonly provide higher intensity rehabilitation when compared to acute or sub-acute rehabilitation settings. Traditionally, previous methods to increase practice in rehabilitation have included the use of additional therapy sessions, semi supervised practice, circuit, and group training and self-directed (independent) practice. Recently there has been more interest in structured intensive programs to increase the amount of practice completed in rehabilitation settings. The success of more intensive programs suggests they may be worth investigating later after stroke and to improve mobility outcomes in community dwelling populations. To date, there have been only a small number of more intensive mobility programs offered to people after stroke, with little research into the feasibility of implementing intensive programs in the community. Programs which are developed for community rehabilitation should consider the unique needs and barriers of community dwelling stroke survivors and consider the complex relationship with function and self-management in the long term. While community dwelling stroke survivors generally exhibit high adherence to standard therapy programs, little is known about their adherence and the acceptability of more intensive mobility programs. Therefore, an implementation study was completed to investigate the feasibility of implementing an intensive mobility program for community dwelling stroke survivors. The program was delivered by a multidisciplinary team which included physiotherapy, occupational therapy and exercise physiology and included an embedded selfmanagement program. The findings of the study show that an intensive mobility program can be delivered feasibly to community dwelling stroke survivors with high adherence and acceptability. The study also shows that clinical outcomes observed after participating in an intensive mobility program are promising and warrant further investigation. The intervention was able to be implemented successfully due to use of effective knowledge translation within the multidisciplinary team, including strategies to facilitate regular and ongoing communication, as well as clinical and participant resources. Future research should consider the use of clinical outcome measures, the setting of rehabilitation and the receptivity of participants.

description: Measurement error usually occurs in practice whenever we can not exactly observe the variables in a model. It has been long recognized that measurement error will bias the estimates if we do not correct it. Thus, it is significant for us to take into account measurement error in our analysis in order to obtain valuable results. The Bayesian method is one of approaches for correcting measurement error in covariates in both linear models and linear mixed effects models. Bayesian approach became feasible and straightforward for many problems due to the availability of modern computers and computational tools such as the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and WinBUGS. In this paper, the first goal is to assess the effects of measurement error on naive analysis which ignore it in both linear models and linear mixed effects models. Then we focus on correcting measurement error through utilizing regression calibration methods and Bayesian methods, and comparing their performance in different situations. Estimating the regression coefficients using regression calibration methods and Bayesian methods in a linear mixed effects model with measurement error in time-varying covariates is mainly considered. We illustrate with real data analysis investigating the relationship between true dietary intake of beta-carotene and serum beta-carotene, and analyze the estimation results of naive methods, regression calibration methods and Bayesian methods.

description: The generalized seniority scheme has long been proposed as a means of dramatically reducing the dimensionality of nuclear shell model calculations, when strong pairing correlations are present. However, systematic benchmark calculations, comparing results obtained in a model space truncated according to generalized seniority with those obtained in the full shell model space, are required to assess the viability of this scheme. Here, a detailed comparison is carried out, for semimagic nuclei taken in a full major shell and with realistic interactions. The even-mass and odd-mass Ca isotopes are treated in the generalized seniority scheme, for generalized seniority v<=3. Results for level energies, orbital occupations, and electromagnetic observables are compared with those obtained in the full shell model space.

description: This paper concerns orientability of moduli spaces of Spin(7)-instantons on compact 8-manifolds $X$ with Spin(7)-structure for the Lie groups SU($m$) and U($m$), and of moduli spaces of coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds. Such orientations are needed to define enumerative invariants 'counting' Spin(7) instantons, or coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds $X$. The previous version of the paper, version 2, published in Advances in Mathematics 368 (2020), claimed to prove all these moduli spaces are orientable.
 VERSION 3 BEGINS WITH AN ERRATUM. THERE IS A MISTAKE IN THE PROOF OF THEOREM 1.11 OF VERSION 2, AND THE THEOREM ITSELF, ONE OF OUR MAIN RESULTS, IS FALSE. THE 8-MANIFOLD SU(3) IS A COUNTEREXAMPLE. COROLLARIES 1.12 AND 1.17 OF VERSION 2 DEPEND ON THEOREM 1.11, AND SO MAY ALSO BE FALSE, THOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE COUNTEREXAMPLES. OUR OTHER MAIN RESULT, THEOREM 1.15, IS UNAFFECTED BY THE MISTAKE. THE AUTHORS APOLOGIZE FOR THIS.
 Joyce-Upmeier arXiv:2503.20456 (197 pages) gives a new theory for studying orientability of moduli spaces using 'bordism categories'. Amongst other results they prove corrected versions of Theorem 1.11 and Corollaries 1.12 and 1.17, which hold with an extra assumption on $H^3(X,\mathbb Z)$.
 In version 3, we highlight and explain the mistakes, but we do not correct them, as this would take many pages. Except for Theorem 1.15, readers are advised to read, and cite, Joyce-Upmeier arXiv:2503.20456 instead of this paper.

description: We consider current-induced spin-transfer torque on an antiferromagnet in a dual spin-valve setup. It is demonstrated that a net magnetization may be induced in the AFM by partially or completely aligning the sublattice magnetizations via a current-induced spin-transfer torque. This effect occurs for current densities ranging below 10$^6$ A/cm$^2$. The direction of the induced magnetization in the AFM is shown to be efficiently controlled by means of the magnetic configuration of the spin-valve setup, with the anti-parallell configuration yielding the largest spin-transfer torque. Interestingly, the magnetization switching time-scale $τ_\text{switch}$ itself has a strong, non-monotonic dependence on the spin-valve configuration. These results may point toward new ways to incorporate AFMs in spintronic devices in order to obtain novel types of functionality.

description: In recent years, the inevitable need for reliable biometric identity management systems in applications such as border crossing, welfare distribution, and accessing critical facilities has drawn researchers' attention to the area of biometric. The intrinsic limitations of unimodal biometric systems such as non-universality, sensitivity to noisy sensor data, inter and intra class variations and spoof attacks have resulted in significant attention toward multimodal biometric systems. An important aspect of a multimodal biometric system is the fusion of information from multiple biometric sources. This thesis focuses on using the notion of Resemblance Probability Distributions to calculate confidence measures for different biometric matchers and use these confidence measures in the fusion module to improve the identification rate of the system. This thesis approaches the problem of low inter class variation and low quality data by proposing Rank List Reinforcement and Confidence-based Ranked List Selection methods.

description: Background. Childhood mental health problems have an early onset, are highly prevalent, and persistent into adolescents’ and adulthood, and left untreated, mental health problems are exacerbated by comorbid disorders. Early screening and intervention for childhood mental health is key to improved outcomes. Very young children that experience emotional or behavioural problems rely primarily on their parents for help-seeking on their behalf. Parents often do not recognize problematic behaviour that requires further evaluation and treatment. Without parental help-seeking, these children’s mental health problems remain undetected and untreated throughout the lifespan. Understanding what perceived barriers and facilitators exist for parents that have children with problematic behaviours, can inform the development of early intervention programs aimed at very young children (i.e., 5 years old and under). The aim of this thesis by publication was to examine the barriers and facilitators to help-seeking for parents with children that have emotional and behavioural problems. Methods. Two published studies of perceived barriers and facilitators to help-seeking for parents of young children were identified through searches using PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL databases. Data was extracted and summarized in tables. Results. Parents reported perceived barriers to be: (a) child’s problems being identified as transient and part of a stage that will go way on their own, (b) not knowing what services were available, and (c) not knowing what sources were available for help. Conclusions. Increased research and development of early screening and intervention programs that target parents of very young children will improve mental health outcomes for children, their families, and communities.
Gravity Dual to Pure N=1 SU(N) Gauge Theory

description: A correspondence between type IIB string theory with N D7-branes on R^{1,3} x C^1/Z_2 x T^2/Z_2 x T^2/Z_2 and pure N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions is proposed and argued. First the supergravity background of unwrapped and flat D7-branes with running axion and dilaton on R^{1,7} x C^1/Z_2 is studied together with the corresponding N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in eight dimensions. The D7-branes are then wrapped over a 4-cycle on T^2/Z_2 x T^2/Z_2 which turns on all F_1, F_3, H_3, and F_5 fluxes of type IIB theory and induces torsion. The supergravity solutions are explicitly constructed with exact analytic expressions for all components of the metric and the fluxes. The background geometry of the four-dimensional gauge theory is compact and conformally Calabi-Yau. The internal space normal to the wrapped D7-branes at the infrared boundary is S^1 whose radius is set by the nonperturbative scale of the gauge theory and spacetime is R^{1,3} at the ultraviolet boundary. The gauge coupling of the four-dimensional gauge theory is related to the gauge coupling of the eight-dimensional gauge theory and the volume of the 4-cycle. The gravity theory reproduces the renormalization group flow and the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking of the gauge theory and leads to confinement. The curvature is small and nearly constant and the supergravity flow is smooth in the infrared region where the gauge theory is strongly coupled and a dual gravity description is useful. String loop corrections are small for large N. The scale of string tension in four dimensions is of the same order as the scale of Kaluza-Klein masses.

description: Thanks to the latest development in the field of Monte Carlo event generators and satellite programs allowing for a straightforward implementation of any beyond the Standard Model theory in those tools, studying the property of any softly-broken supersymmetric theory is become an easy task. We illustrate this statement in the context of two non-minimal supersymmetric theories, namely the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with R-parity violation and the Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric Standard Model and choose to probe interaction vertices involving a non-standard color structure and the sector of the top quark. We show how to efficiently implement these theories in the Mathematica package FeynRules and use its interfaces to Monte Carlo tools for phenomenological studies. For the latter, we employ the latest version of the MadGraph program.

description: As Digital Measures is no longer used by the University of Iowa, the College of Engineering approached the Engineering Library to identify a new system to showcase their faculty work. The Engineering Library identified Esploro, a research information management system powered by Ex Libris, because there are several advantages: (1) we have full control of metadata; (2) publication records are indexed and searchable in our library catalog system; (3) publication records are discoverable by search engines; (4) Smart Harvest, an automated content harvesting feature, can load publication records from a variety of sources; (5) a complete list of publications can be easily generated for grant applications and reviews. Since the College of Engineering is the first college to adopt Esploro, there is no standard workflow for us to follow. We developed a workflow by trial and error: (1) making an initial estimate of the volume of the publication records for 110 faculty; (2) turning on the Smart Harvest to load records; (3) reviewing whether the potential records are matched to the correct people, noting especially document types and DOIs, which can indicate higher quality records from the Ex Libris database, and manually approving or rejecting the records in Esploro; (4) identifying and collecting records in Scopus to expand the Ex Libris database; (5) activating Smart Harvest again to add additional records that were missed; (6) running various reports about quality of records and improving records as needed. Facing the major challenges including the large volume of records, DOIs not existing in journal articles published in early years, and DOIs not existing in some conference proceedings and book chapters, we shared some best practices and lessons learned. Since Esploro continues to be enhanced, we will refine our workflow with new functionality as it is added.

description: Observations of the dust emission using millimetre/submillimetre bolometer arrays can be contaminated by molecular line flux, such as flux from 12CO. As the brightest molecular line in the submillimetre, it is important to quantify the contribution of CO flux to the dust continuum bands. Conversion factors were used to convert molecular line integrated intensities to flux detected by bolometer arrays in mJy per beam. These factors were calculated for 12CO line integrated intensities to the SCUBA-2 850 μm and 450 μm bands. The conversion factors were then applied to HARP 12CO 3-2 maps of NGC 1333 in the Perseus complex and NGC 2071 and NGC 2024 in the Orion B molecular cloud complex to quantify the respective 12CO flux contribution to the 850 μm dust continuum emission. Sources with high molecular line contamination were analysed in further detail for molecular outflows and heating by nearby stars to determine the cause of the 12CO contribution. The majority of sources had a 12CO 3-2 flux contribution under 20 per cent. However, in regions of molecular outflows, the 12CO can dominate the source dust continuum (up to 79 per cent contamination) with 12CO fluxes reaching \sim 68 mJy per beam.

Clinical Reasoning in Dentistry
Creators: name: Khatami, Shiva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Background: Clinical reasoning is the core competency of healthcare. It involves cognition and interaction with the environment to understand clinical situations, make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, and address clinical problems. Defining competency in clinical reasoning is a difficult objective for dental educators because of our limited understanding of this phenomenon which compromises the validity of any curricular model and assessment method that have been used to date. Objectives: To describe the process and strategies of clinical reasoning used by dental clinicians across different levels of expertise to develop a conceptual framework for curricular design and assessment of competency. Methods: Using “think-aloud” method, I interviewed 18 dental students about biopsychosocial issues influencing oral health identified in 6 vignettes; and 8 orthodontic residents plus 11 orthodontists about problems of craniofacial growth and malocclusion presented in 2 vignettes. The interview transcripts were analyzed to explore the process and strategies of clinical reasoning used by the participants. Results: The reasoning process in both groups included: 1) a ritualistic approach to collect information for a treatment plan; 2) forward and backward reasoning to make and test hypotheses from clinical information; 3) pattern recognition and an integrated script of knowledge and experience triggered by related attributes of the script leading to a clinical diagnosis and plan; and 4) decision trees to evaluate treatment options and maximize the probability and utility of outcomes. Seven reasoning strategies (scientific, conditional, collaborative, narrative, ethical, pragmatic and “part-whole”) were used by both groups. However, experienced clinicians were more confident in their appraisal of uncertain situations and dilemmas as they integrated several reasoning strategies in the process; used refined scripts of knowledge and experience in familiar situations; and were able to reflect on the impact on their reasoning of the larger social, cultural and political context. Conclusions: Clinical reasoning in dentistry is a contextual and interactive phenomenon that requires integration of specific reasoning strategies to address the biopsychosocial factors influencing oral health. Expertise in clinical reasoning develops through continuous framing and solving problems to refine networks of knowledge and experience and develop adaptive strategies to address the contextual determinants of oral health.

description: The ab-plane resistivity of Ba(Fe1-xRux)2As2 (x = 0.00, 0.09, 0.16, 0.21, and 0.28) was studied under nearly hydrostatic pressures, up to 7.4 GPa, in order to explore the T-P phase diagram and to compare the combined effects of iso-electronic Ru substitution and pressure. The parent compound BaFe2As2 exhibits a structural/magnetic phase transition near 134 K. At ambient pressure, progressively increasing Ru concentration suppresses this phase transition to lower temperatures at the approximate rate of ~5 K/% Ru and is correlated with the emergence of superconductivity. By applying pressure to this system, a similar behavior is seen for each concentration: the structural/magnetic phase transition is further suppressed and superconductivity induced and ultimately, for larger x Ru and P, suppressed. A detailed comparison of the T-P phase diagrams for all Ru concentrations shows that 3 GPa of pressure is roughly equivalent to 10% Ru substitution. Furthermore, due to the sensitivity of Ba(Fe1-xRux)2As2 to pressure conditions, the melting of the liquid media, 4 : 6 light mineral oil : n-pentane and 1 : 1 iso-pentane : n-pentane, used in this study could be readily seen in the resistivity measurements. This feature was used to determine the freezing curves for these media and infer their room temperature, hydrostatic limits: 3.5 and 6.5 GPa, respectively.

description: Temporal universal conductance fluctuations (TUCF) are observed in RuO$_2$ nanowires at cryogenic temperatures. The fluctuations persist up to very high $T \sim 10$ K. Their root-mean-square magnitudes increase with decreasing $T$, reaching $\sim 0.2 e^2/h$ at $T \lesssim 2$ K. These fluctuations are shown to originate from scattering of conduction electrons with rich amounts of mobile defects in artificially synthesized metal oxide nanowires. TUCF characteristics in both one-dimensional saturated and unsaturated regimes are identified and explained in terms of current theories. Furthermore, the TUCF as a probe for the characteristic time scales of the mobile defects (two-level systems) are discussed.

description: To prepare teachers for work in inclusive classrooms, it is important to develop an understanding of factors contributing to teachers’ success. Two such factors are teachers’ attitudes and self-efficacy towards inclusion. Currently, there is debate regarding demographic influences, limited examination of program influences, and little research analyzing Western Canadian contexts, for both factors. The purpose of this study is to address these empirical gaps by investigating demographic and program variables regarding Western Canadian pre-service teachers’ reported attitudes and self-efficacy. Findings revealed more positive attitudes related to higher levels of self-efficacy. First year students were more positive than second year students, and those with a bachelor’s degree had more positive attitudes than those who had only completed secondary school. Pre-service teachers’ positive attitudes also correlated with positive views about their courses and their B.Ed. program. Findings are discussed regarding implications, followed by strengths and limitations with suggestions for future research.

description: A Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) is a powerful tool for creating the discrete reference models that support geospatial dataset integration, organization, processing, and visualization in a Digital Earth (DE) application. However, the growing size and scale of geospatial datasets presents significant obstacles to the interactivity and accessibility of geospatial visualizations. To address this challenge, we present a portable DGGS that runs in web browsers on a client device and efficiently communicates with a server-side DGGS. In our method, the client-side is responsible for triggering queries for missing data, managing the viewing area and rendering various styles and effects. The server is responsible for generating data representations for DGGS cells in response to queries from clients. Only the data needed for the current view and scale need to be processed, so the task of processing the datasets at their native resolution can be circumvented. The resulting system is capable of interactively displaying multiple simultaneous viewpoints, allowing for a multilevel focus+context visualization of the globe. We also present several real-time data styling techniques that are designed to work efficiently on both the client and server. These methods help make DE more accessible and informative than ever before.
title: In Vitro Comparison of 360° Unirotational Disposable Prophylaxis Angles Versus 90° Reciprocating Disposable Prophylaxis Angles on Spatter During Rubber Cup Polishing
Creators: name: Schulz, Kelly Marie
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the traditional 360° unirotational disposable prophylaxis angle (DPA) to a 90° reciprocating DPA in terms of spatter production. The 2x3x3 factorial design involved: 2 types of DP As x 3 types of prophylaxis pastes (fine, medium and coarse) x 3 dental handpiece revolutions per minute (rpm) settings (1500, 2000, and 3000). The eStylus'™ operated the DP As under controlled speeds. Using a mounted dental manikin, 90° reciprocating DP As and 360° unirotational DP As were evaluated for spatter production with the use of prophylaxis pastes of various grits in 270 laboratory trials. For each trial, a board measuring five by four feet was covered with graph paper. The graph paper apparatus was placed two inches below a dental manikin's chin. Facial aspects of mandibular teeth were polished from first molar to first molar. One drop of dyed saliva substitute was applied to each tooth. The rubber cup was filled with prophylaxis paste and each tooth was polished for three seconds. Spatter accumulation was measured by counting the number of dye droplets found on each of the squares on the graph paper. Fifteen trials for each independent variable interaction were conducted and means and standard deviations were computed. Data was analyzed using the three-way ANOV A at the .05 level of significance.

Results revealed a statistically significant difference between the amounts of spatter produced with a 90° reciprocating DP A verses traditional 360° unirotational DPA. The 90° reciprocating DPA produced significantly less spatter than the traditional 360° unirotational DP A. Results revealed no statistically significant difference in the spatter generated by fine, medium, or coarse grit prophylaxis pastes when using the 90° reciprocating DPA. However, results reveal that when using the 360° unirotational DP A, the type of prophylaxis paste was a significant factor in the amount of spatter production. The 360° unirotational DPA produced significantly more spatter with increasing rpm. Conversely, there was no difference in the amount of spatter produced by 1500, 2000, or 3000 rpm while using the 90° reciprocating DP A. In conclusion, the 360° unirotational DPA produces significantly more spatter than the 90° reciprocating DPA.

description: We investigate how the next generation gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), can be used to distinguish primordial black holes (PBHs) from astrophysical black holes (ABHs). Since a direct detection of sub-solar mass black holes can be taken as the smoking gun for PBHs, we figure out the detectable limits of the abundance of sub-solar mass PBHs in cold dark matter by the targeted search for sub-solar mass PBH binaries and binaries containing a sub-solar mass PBH and a super-solar mass PBH, respectively. On the other hand, according to the different redshift evolutions of merger rate for PBH binaries and ABH binaries, we forecast the detectable event rate distributions for the PBH binaries and ABH binaries by ET and CE respectively, which can serve as a method to distinguish super-solar mass PBHs from ABHs.

description:          In recent years, environmental problems: climate change, desertification, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources, increasing poverty, lack of fresh water, food, energy, people and countries Problems such as inequality between the two are proof that the current economic systems are not perfect. Global crises, climate change, air pollution, loss of flora and fauna, increasing demand for water and other natural resources deepen the current socio-economic problems of stability in both developed and developing countries. The image of the current world, irreparable environmental disasters and huge damage to the environment requires the need to transition to a "green economy". The world's leading countries have already started the transition to a green economy. They have realized that green economy is not a substitute for sustainable development but is a way to achieve sustainable development.

description: Reservoir heterogeneities (i.e., lean zones or shale layers) impact the performance of SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage) processes. The lean zones, which have a water saturation of more than 50%, have been reported by several oil sands fieldsduring the development of oil sand reservoirs in the Athabasca area in western Canada. They reported that the lean zones severely affected the production of SAGD processes. Therefore, an ES-SAGD (expanding solvent SAGD) process has been introduced into this type of reservoir to improve the production performance. Simulation studies are conducted to investigate the mechanisms of how lean zones influence the two processes by comparing their bottom, middle, and top locations in a reservoir. Moreover, the thickness, location, water saturation of lean zones and reservoir permeability are also investigated to understand the impacts of lean zones further on these processes. A heterogeneous reservoir model, which contains lean zones, is carried out to study the production performance of the SAGD and ES-SAGD processes.

description: Objective: This scoping review will systematically examine, summarize and map the range and nature of the literature on the role of digital health in mental health care. In this review, the actual uses of digital health in mental health care will also be explored to identify research gaps and inform researchers and policymakers. Introduction: Mental disorders are extremely common among university students. The most common mental disorders among university students are anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders. A significant proportion of people with mental disorders do not receive treatment globally. Utilizing the power of digital health technology to deploy assistive, preventative, and therapeutic solutions for people in need is one approach to mitigating the medical and socioeconomic effects of mental illness Inclusion criteria: This review will consider college or university studies on digital health in mental health care. The concept of interest in this study is the role of digital health in mental health care. Any research, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method primary studies, will be included in this review. Method: A three-step search strategy, consisting of an initial limited search, a full search, and a screening of the reference lists of all included articles will be undertaken. The information sources to be searched include PubMed, Psych INFO, SCOPUS, CINAHL, web of science, and Google scholar. All titles and abstracts of identified citations will be screened and then uploaded to a reference management program. The full text of studies potentially meeting the inclusion criteria will be assessed in detail, and relevant data will be extracted and reported in tabular format, in line with the objectives and scope of the review.
Lower bound on the spectral dimension near a black hole

description: We consider an evaporating Schwarzschild black hole in a framework in which the spectral dimension of spacetime varies continuously from four at large distances to a number smaller than three at small distances, as suggested by various approaches to quantum gravity. We demonstrate that the evaporation stops when the horizon radius reaches a scale at which spacetime becomes effectively 3-dimensional, and argue that an observer remaining outside the horizon cannot probe the properties of the black hole at smaller scales. This result is universal in the sense that it does not depend on the details of the effective dimension as a function of the diffusion time. Observers falling into the black hole can resolve smaller scales, as can external observers in the presence of a cosmological constant. Even in these cases, though, we obtain an absolute bound D>2 on the effective dimension that can be seen in any such attempt to measure the properties of the black hole.

description: The possibility that primordial black holes (PBHs) represent all of the dark matter (DM) in the Universe and explain the coalescences of binary black holes detected by LIGO/Virgo has attracted a lot of attention. PBHs are generated by the enhancement of scalar perturbations which inevitably produce the induced gravitational waves (GWs). We calculate the induced GWs up to the third-order correction which not only enhances the amplitude of induced GWs, but also extends the cutoff frequency from $2k_*$ to $3k_*$. Such effects of the third-order correction lead to an around $10\%$ increase of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for both LISA and pulsar timing array (PTA) observations, and significantly widen the mass range of PBHs in the stellar mass window accompanying detectable induced GWs for PTA observations including IPTA, FAST and SKA. On the other hand, the null detections of the induced GWs by LISA and PTA experiments will exclude the possibility that all of the DM is comprised of PBHs and the GW events detected by LIGO/Virgo are generated by PBHs.

Attitudes and Experiences of Probuphine Treatment: A Qualitative Interview Study
Creators: name: Mara, Craig
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Canada is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Medical treatment of opioid dependence decreases illicit opioid use at a greater rate compared with psychosocial intervention or placebo alone, and reduces associated morbidity and mortality. An implantable formulation of buprenorphine with a 6-month duration of action (brand name: Probuphine was approved by the FDA in 2016 and Health Canada in 2018 for long-term maintenance treatment of opioid use disorder. While taper from medical treatment of opioid dependence is generally not advised due to increased likelihood of relapse, British Colombia Center for Substance Use guidelines suggest “for individuals with a successful and sustained response to agonist treatment desiring medication cessation, consider slow taper (e.g., 12 months).” Given the long duration of action, Probuphine may represent an effective tool for opioid taper. No current studies exist to advise on the use of Probuphine for opioid taper. Using semi structured interviews, the purpose of this study is to assess the experience of patients of a London, Ontario-based practice who have received the Probuphine implant for management of opioid dependence. The team will also observe characteristics of patients who had positive tapering experiences and patients who had negative tapering experiences.

description: Given two subsets A and B of nodes in a directed graph, the conduciveness of the graph from A to B is the ratio representing how many of the edges outgoing from nodes in A are incoming to nodes in B. When the graph's nodes stand for the possible solutions to certain problems of combinatorial optimization, choosing its edges appropriately has been shown to lead to conduciveness properties that provide useful insight into the performance of algorithms to solve those problems. Here we study the conduciveness of CA-rule graphs, that is, graphs whose node set is the set of all CA rules given a cell's number of possible states and neighborhood size. We consider several different edge sets interconnecting these nodes, both deterministic and random ones, and derive analytical expressions for the resulting graph's conduciveness toward rules having a fixed number of non-quiescent entries. We demonstrate that one of the random edge sets, characterized by allowing nodes to be sparsely interconnected across any Hamming distance between the corresponding rules, has the potential of providing reasonable conduciveness toward the desired rules. We conjecture that this may lie at the bottom of the best strategies known to date for discovering complex rules to solve specific problems, all of an evolutionary nature.
