subject: FOS: Psychology

description: The purpose of this study was to generate a theory of helpfulness for the elderly bereaved, grounded in the data which were the responses of the bereaved research participants concerning the following issue:  (a) the advice they would give to others who have lost a spouse, (b) how others are helpful, (c) what kind of help is most appreciated, (d) how others can be more helpful and (e) who the most helpful person was during bereavement.  Thirty elderly bereaved in the sample responded to the questions during tape-recorded interviews in their homes 3-4 week, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, and 2 years following the death of their spouses.  These participants were interviewed as part of a larger research project, "Bereavement in the Elderly:  Factors of Adaptation."  Which was funded by the National Institute of Aging (Grant No. R01 AG 02193).  The content analysis of the interview data were the basis of the theory:  "An Invitation to a New Live."  The intercoder reliability was 89%.  The findings and the theory were validated by the research participants.  "An Invitation to a New Life" is a dialectical theory.  On the on hand, the bereaved person alone can invite the self to a new life without a spouse.  On the other hand, without others, the invitation is only partial and virtually withheld from the bereaved.  It is anticipated that the theory will be useful to professionals involved in providing bereavement care, as well as to elderly bereaved persons, their families, and their friends.

description: Knowing how to construct text-based Search Queries (SQs) for use in Search Engines (SEs) such as Google or Wikipedia has become a fundamental skill. Though much data are available through such SEs, most structured datasets live outside their scope. Visualization tools aid in this limitation, but no such tools come close to the sheer amount of information available through general-purpose SEs. To fill this gap, this paper presents Q4EDA, a novel framework that converts users' visual selection queries executed on top of time series visual representations, providing valid and stable SQs to be used in general-purpose SEs and suggestions of related information. The usefulness of Q4EDA is presented and validated by users through an application linking a Gapminder's line-chart replica with a SE populated with Wikipedia documents, showing how Q4EDA supports and enhances exploratory analysis of United Nations world indicators. Despite some limitations, Q4EDA is unique in its proposal and represents a real advance towards providing solutions for querying textual information based on user interactions with visual representations.

description: We construct colored lattice models whose partition functions represent symplectic and odd orthogonal Demazure characters and atoms. We show that our lattice models are not solvable, but we are able to show the existence of sufficiently many solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation that allows us to compute functional equations for the corresponding partition functions. From these functional equations, we determine that the partition function of our models are the Demazure atoms and characters for the symplectic and odd orthogonal Lie groups. We coin our lattice models as quasi-solvable. We use the natural bijection of admissible states in our models with Proctor patterns to give a right key algorithm for reverse King tableaux and Sundaram tableaux.

Psychostimulants and the regulation and trafficking of monoamine transporters
Creators: name: Riddle, Evan Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Physiology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: The process of chemical neurotransmission involves a dynamic balance between signal initiation and/or signal termination. Psychostimulants have long been known as drugs that alter both of these processes associated with monoaminergic neurotransmission. Specifically, it has been known for many years that cocaine and methylphenidate prevent signal termination by inhibition of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5HT) transporters (DAT and SERT, respectively). In addition, amphetamine analogs such as amphetamine (AMPH), methamphetamine (METH), and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), enhance signal initiation by causing release of DA and/or 5HT. More recently it has been discovered that psycho stimulants alter additional processes. In particular, amphetamines reduce the transport activity of DAT and/or SERT. The first part of this dissertation is focused on elucidating the mechanism whereby amphetamines decrease monoamine transport function. Results reveal that the METH- and MDMA-induced decrease in DAT and SERT activity can be prevented with NPC15437, a protein kinase C inhibitor. In addition, a novel mechanism of transporter regulation was discovered that involves the lipid second messenger, ceramide. The ceramide-induced alterations in monoamine transporter function appear distinct from those of METH, uncovering an interesting phenomenon: C2-ceramide reduces DA transported through the DAT while concurrently increasing the transport of 5HT through the DAT. This dissertation also contains the first evidence that psychostimulants alter the trafficking of synaptic vesicles. Cocaine and methylphenidate (drugs that are not neurotoxic to DA neurons) appear to influence the trafficking of vesicles in a manner somewhat opposite to the amphetamines (drugs which are neurotoxic to DA neurons). Results demonstrate that these vesicle trafficking events are specific for monoamine containing vesicles and occur at high as well as low, clinically relevant, doses. Data presented in this dissertation help to increase our understanding of neurotransmission and psychostimulant-induced alterations in neurotransmission. These data may be useful for understanding and treating various related neurological disorders.

A Bayesian approach for estimation of weight matrices in spatial autoregressive models

description: We develop a Bayesian approach to estimate weight matrices in spatial autoregressive (or spatial lag) models. Datasets in regional economic literature are typically characterized by a limited number of time periods T relative to spatial units N. When the spatial weight matrix is subject to estimation severe problems of over-parametrization are likely. To make estimation feasible, our approach focusses on spatial weight matrices which are binary prior to row-standardization. We discuss the use of hierarchical priors which impose sparsity in the spatial weight matrix. Monte Carlo simulations show that these priors perform very well where the number of unknown parameters is large relative to the observations. The virtues of our approach are demonstrated using global data from the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Salton Sea

description: The Salton Sea Geothermal System is located in the Salton Trough rift which is  the boundary between the North American and Pacific Plates in south-central California.  The Salton Trough rift is an extension of the Gulf of California rift system, and is filled  with the sediments of the Colorado River delta. The Salton Sea Geothermal Field is  located above the northernmost spreading center of the Gulf of California before the plate  boundary becomes the San Andreas transform fault system. 327 MW of electricity is  currently generated from the hot (< 390°C), hyper saline brines (-25% TDS) at shallow  depths (>400 m).  The geothermal brines of the Salton Sea Geothermal System contain abundant  CO2 (-2,000 mg/ kg brine). The thermo-tectonic environment of the system suggests that  both a magmatic and a metamorphic source of CO2 are plausible. In order to evaluate  these possibilities this study estimates an annual CO2 flux for both metamorphic and  igneous sources based on evaluation of devolatilization reactions occurring in the  geothermal system, and an estimated volume of igneous material injected annually,  respectively.  Calculations of metamorphic CO2 flux are based on evaluation of the reaction  progress of devolatilization reactions of four wells in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field.  Measurement of reaction progress is based on petrography and XRD studies of well  cuttings. When the average reaction progress from the observed well-bores is extrapolated to the full depth of the sediments in the Salton Trough [4 to 6 km] inferred  form seismic data metamorphic CO2 fluxes of 78.7 to 637.8 g /m yr are calculated. The  igneous CO2 flux is based on the potential size of an intrusive body emplaced beneath the  geothermal field annually, which is constrained by various geophysical data, and is in the  range of 0 to 88 g/m2 yr. The metamorphic CO2 flux estimate in this study is up to 7.25  times the maximum igneous CO2 flux.

description: Based on the electric vehicle (EV) arrival times and the duration of EV connection to the charging station, we identify charging patterns and derive groups of charging stations with similar charging patterns applying two approaches. The ruled based approach derives the charging patterns by specifying a set of time intervals and a threshold value. In the second approach, we combine the modified l-p norm (as a matrix dissimilarity measure) with hierarchical clustering and apply them to automatically identify charging patterns and groups of charging stations associated with such patterns. A dataset collected in a large network of public charging stations is used to test both approaches. Using both methods, we derived charging patterns. The first, rule-based approach, performed well at deriving predefined patterns and the latter, hierarchical clustering, showed the capability of delivering unexpected charging patterns.

Further studies on the use of mouse epidermal cells for the in vitro induction and detection of cell-mediated cytotoxicity

Cell Cultures

description: Mouse epidermal cells (EC) and lymphoid cells (LC) were compared as targets of cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) in short-term chromium release assays where attacker cells were generated in primary mixed cultures using irradiated allogeneic EC or LC as stimulators.  Three patterns of relative susceptibility to lysis of the two types of target cells were observed:  1. Significantly greater lysis of LC than of EC targets; 2. Significantly greater lysis of EC than LC targets; and 3. Approximately equal susceptibility to lysis of the two targets.  The first pattern was primarily associated with LC stimulators, whereas the second and third patterns were almost invariably associated with EC stimulators.  Factors possibly contributing to the differences in in vitro immunogenicity and susceptibility to CMC of EC and LC were investigated, including the alteration of EC surface antigens during the trypsinization required to prepare EC suspensions, the differential expression of shared alloantigens, or the restricted expression of tissue specific alloantigens on the two types of cells.  Tests with intact and trypsinized LC on the one hand and fresh and short-term cultured EC on the other, indicated that trypsinization is not responsible for the basic differences between EC and LC detected in the jLn vitro assays.  Antibody absorption tests demonstrated that although EC and LC express approximately equal quantities of the cell surface antigens determined by the H-2D region of the H-2 complex, LC express significantly greater quantities of the antigens determined by the H-2K and I regions.  In addition, the results of cold target inhibition tests suggest that tissue-specific antigens on both EC and LC also influence their relative immunogenicity and susceptibility to lysis.
Percutaneous, osseointegrated implants: a method to evaluate limb compensation in an ovine model
Creators: name: Shelton, Trevor Jay
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Artificial limbs
Prosthetics

description: Socket prosthetics are currently used to restore function to individuals with limb  loss. However, there are several complications associated with these docking systems,  especially in patients with limited residual limb lengths. Percutaneous, osseointegrated  prosthetics are presently being investigated to overcome these problems. To help develop  these prosthetics, an ovine model was used in which the right metacarpal III bone  was surgically amputated and restored with an osseointegrated implant with an exoprosthetic.  The purposes of this study were to develop a method to quantify and to compare  limb function before and following amputation.  A commercially available force sensitive mat (Tekscan HR Mat, Tekscan, Inc.,  Boston, MA) was used in conjunction with a custom oval walkway to measure the limb  function from the ovine model. Limb loads, stride length, and stance phase as a percent  gait cycle were collected from each limb before amputation and then compared to  postamputation data.  To date, 17 animals have been amputated and implanted with a percutaneous,  osseointegrated implant and fit with an exoprosthetic. On average, the prosthetic was  loaded 82.5% ± 5.3% (N=17) of the preamputation load 1 month after surgery and improved  to 86.9% ± 9.9% (N=3) at 6 months following surgery. The kinematic data of  the stance phase as a percent gait cycle and stride length of the amputated limb were not  significantly different from the contralateral, nonamputated limb following the operation.  Based upon these findings, it was concluded that the prosthetic limb of the animals  was loaded by the subjects, albeit less than the preamputation loads. However,  based upon the kinematic data obtained, the subjects were not limping. This method  may help to establish a rehabilitation timeline for patients with percutaneous, osseointegrated  implants with an exoprosthetic in the future and an objective method to compare  new treatments for amputees.

description: The quality of the hatching process influences the success of the hatch rate besides the inherent egg factors. Eliminating infertile or dead eggs and monitoring embryonic growth are very important factors in efficient hatchery practices. This process aims to sort eggs that only have embryos to remain in the incubator until the end of the hatching process. This process aims to sort eggs with embryos to remain hatched until the end. Maximum checking is done the first week in the hatching period. This study aims to detect the presence of embryos in eggs and processed by segmentation. Egg images are segmented using the K-means algorithm based on Lab color images. The results of the image acquisition are converted into Lab color space images. The results of Lab color space images are processed using K-means for each color. The K-means process uses cluster k=3 and divides into three parts: background, eggs, and yolk. Egg yolks are part of eggs that have embryonic characteristics. This study applies the concept of color in the initial segmentation and grayscale in the final stages. The initial phase results show that the image segmentation results using k-means clustering based on Lab color space provide a grouping of three parts. At the grayscale image processing stage, the results of color image segmentation are processed with grayscaling, image enhancement, and morphology. Thus, it seems clear that the yolk segmented shows the presence of egg embryos. Based on this results, the initial stages of the embryo detection process used K-means segmentation based on Lab color space. The evaluation uses MSE and MSSIM, with values of 0.0486 and 0.9979; this can be used to reference that the results obtained can detect embryos in egg yolk. This protocol could be used in a non-destructive quantitative study on embryos and their morphology in a precision poultry production system in the future.

Modulation of immune responses by measles virus

T lymphocyte Lines

description: Measles virus is a negative-strand RNA virus best known as the etiologic agent of the childhood rash. This virus also causes a block in cellular functions that results in immunosuppression. Measles virus is known to infect cells of the immune system and specifically suppress differentiated cellular activity. We have expanded existing observations about measles virus by studying the effects of this pathogen in antigen-specific T lymphocyte lines. Using this system, we have shown that measles virus suppresses antigen-specific proliferation. Our data indicates one mechanism of this suppression may be a decrease in interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain on the surface of infected cells. Further, we show that measles virus modulates cytokine elaboration by infected lymphocytes, resulting in an increase in interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, and a decrease in interleukin-4. Interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma levels were unchanged in supernatant fluids from infected cells. In order to explore the molecular mechanism underlying these viral effects on cells of the immune system, we have developed preliminary antisense techniques. We have demonstrated resistance to measles virus infection in transfected HeLa cells expressing antisense sequences to the ribosomal binding site of the measles virus nucleocapsid protein. Our control experiments establish that this inhibition of infection is specific for both the expressed sequence, and for the target virus. This work provides the foundation for the use of antisense techniques in lymphocyte systems as probes to determine the specfic intracellular mechanism of immunosuppression by measles virus.

description: Based on our previous work, we propose a homogenized model of acoustic waves propagating through periodically perforated elastic plates with metamaterial properties due to embedded arrays of soft elastic inclusions serving for resonators. Such structures enable to suppress the acoustic transmission for selected frequency bands. Homogenization of the vibro-acoustic fluid-structure interaction problem in a 3D complex geometry of the transmission layer leads to effective transmission conditions prescribed on the acoustic meta-surface associated with the mid-plane of the Reissner-Mindlin plate. Asymptotic analysis with respect to the layer thickness, proportional to the plate thickness and to the perforation period, yields an implicit Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator defined on the homogenized metasurface. An efficient method is proposed for computing frequency-dependent effective parameters involved in the homogenized model of the layer. These can change their signs, thus modifying the acoustic impedance and the effective mass of the metasurface. The global problem of the acoustic wave propagation in a waveguide fitted with the plate is solved using the finite element method. The homogenized interface allows for a significant reduction of the computational model. Numerical illustrations are presented.

description: The purpose of this study was to develop a tool to measure adults' and adolescents' perceptions of school nurse function.  Two major steps were involved in the formulation of the questionnaire, Perceptions of School Nurse Functions.  The initial step involved the formation of the 71 items, a review by a panel of experts, and the administration of the questionnaire with a nomination format to ten adults and eight adolescents.  Fourteen weak items were identified in the statistical analyses, deleted, and the remaining items were revised as needed for clarity and proper form.  The revised questionnaire was administered to 135 adolescent drawn from two junior high schools. The questionnaire with the nomination format was administered to 24 parents drawn from the same schools.  The results indicated the questionnaire measure perceptions but were in need of further refinement.  The focus of further study should by on the use of the questionnaire in school districts were there is a school nurse in each school; the same size should be at least 600 adolescents; and emphasis should be placed on reliability, validity, and sources of between-group variance.
Theology and Liturgy as Life in Community and Shared Spirituality

description: Theology and Liturgy are two important dimensions of the Christian faith. Since faith can only be thought of in a holistic way, both Theology and Liturgy must have a place in the lives of the faithful. Theology as a reflection on faith is not a science that uses only methods of empirical sciences, but is first and foremost the experience of communication with God. The fundamental form of communication with God, however, is Liturgy. Therefore, theology as well as Liturgy must always be practised in community as “church”. The Ecumenical Institute at Bossey aims at such a holistic approach of Theology, Liturgy and life in communion. This perspective has implications for the upcoming 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Karlsruhe, Germany.

description: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a common iron loading disorder characterized by increased intestinal iron absorption and tissue iron overload. Although diabetes is part of the classical presentation of HH, there is still controversy about its pathogenesis. Utilizing a mouse model of hemochromatosis with target deletion of hemochromatosis gene (Hfe-/-), we assessed potential iron-mediated damages that could lead to pancreatic ? cell failure. Our data demonstrate that iron overload in Hfe-/- mice results in diminished insulin secretory capacity secondary to ? cell apoptosis, loss of ? cell mass, and desensitization of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These findings are suggestive of potential mitochondrial dysfunction. We, therefore, examined the function of mitochondria isolated from Hfe-/- mouse liver. These mitochondria exhibited decreased respiration and a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, a marker of oxidative damage. To determine if the mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidant stress were consequences of abnormal metal homeostasis in the Hfe-/- mice, the levels of four transition metals relevant to mitochondrial function were assessed. We demonstrate that iron accumulation in Hfe-/- mice is confined to liver cytosol while mitochondrial iron content is maintained at normal levels. However, Hfe-/- mutant mice are significantly deficient in mitochondrial manganese, copper, and zinc. This is associated with decreased activity of copper- and manganese-dependent mitochondrial enzymes and an overall decrease in mitochondrial respiration. This mitochondrial dysfunction is reversible. Manganese supplementation restores mitochondrial dysfunction leading to enhance insulin secretory capacity and glucose tolerance in Hfe-/- mice. Iron has previously been though to cause oxidative damage mainly by catalyzing the production of free radicals (Fenton chemistry). However, our present findings suggest a new component to iron toxicity, namely altering mitochondrial metal uptake resulting in attenuated mitochondrial antioxidant defenses and overall function. The deficiencies of manganese, copper, and zinc in mitochondria from Hfe-/- mice are new factors in understanding the pathogenesis of hemochromatosis and possibly other diseases characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The further consequences of and potential ability to correct these abnormalities in mitochondrial metal content are under investigation and present a potential for therapeutic intervention.
In vitro activation of procarbazine to sytotoxic species

Metabolism

description: Procarbazine is a 1,2-disubstituted hydrazine derivative that acts as a methylating agent in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, leukemias, lymphomas, and brain tumors. The anticancer activity of this agent results from oxidation to azoprocarbazine and additional N-oxidation to a mixture of azoxy isomers. These isomers were synthesized and purified, and their cytotoxic effects against leukemia cell lines were evaluated. The methylazoxy isomer was shown to be the most cytotoxic metabolite. Results of these studies suggested that procarbazine may be further activated by the cells to the active metabolite, methylazoxyprocarbazine. Subsequent studies, however, revealed that the cells did not contain appreciable amounts of cytochrome P-450. Cells were incubated with procarbazine for 72 h, extracted, and analyzed by mass spectrometric techniques. Results of these studies showed that small amounts of the azoxy isomers were produced in cell incubations, but they were also present in control incubations in which procarbazine was incubated in media containing no cells. This represented new evidence of nonenzymatic activation of procarbazine. Results of in vitro cytotoxicity assays suggested that methylazoxyprocarbazine also may be activated in a time-dependent manner. Studies were carried out to determine what metabolites (if any) were present in cell incubations. There was very little methylazoxyprocarbazine left by 72 h, but there were significantly greater amounts of a more polar isomer of the same molecular weight. This metabolite was isolated by reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of its silyl derivative. It appeared that methylazoxyprocarbazine was capable of rearranging in solution to this more polar isomer. Thermospray LC/MS permitted the unambiguous structural assignment of an additional metabolite that eluted just before N-isopropyl-p-formylbenzamide, the major metabolite produced from methylazoxyprocarbazine. This additional metabolite had not been detected by previous HPLC studies. Reversed-phase HPLC was used to isolate and purify this metabolite. NMR characterization and GC/MS analysis of its silyl derivatives showed it to be a carboxamide. This new carboxamide was probably formed by breakage of the N-N bond of the rearranged isomer. Results of this research support the existence of previously undetermined, alternative pathways for the activation of procarbazine.

description: Van der Waals layered materials with well-defined twist angles between the crystal lattices of individual layers have attracted increasing attention due to the emergence of unexpected material properties. As many properties critically depend on the exact twist angle and its spatial homogeneity, there is a need for a fast and non-invasive characterization technique of the local twist angle, to be applied preferably right after stacking. We demonstrate that confocal Raman spectroscopy can be utilized to spatially map the twist angle in stacked bilayer graphene for angles between 6.5° and 8° when using a green excitation laser. The twist angles can directly be extracted from the moiré superlattice-activated Raman scattering process of the transverse acoustic (TA) phonon mode. Furthermore, we show that the width of the TA Raman peak contains valuable information on spatial twist angle variations on length scales below the laser spot size of ~ 500 nm.

Potential homolog to the vertebrate pro-opiomelanocortin gene in yeast

description: The vertebrate pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene codes for the large protein precursor to a number of small peptides with highly conserved sequence, including adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), and $/beta$-endorphin. previous evidence suggests that structurally and possibly functionally related sequences (homologs) are present in unicellular organisms, and that these may be encoded within a similarly organized genes. This work attempted to identify a POMC homolog in the protozoan, Tetrahymena pyriformis, and in fission yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using two different equilibrium-type radioimmunoassays with polyclonal antibodies, I initially identified ACTH-like immunoactivity in extracts of both species. However, the same extracts showed no reaction in an immunoradiometric assay requiring greater structural similarity to vertebrate ACTH. The low concentration meant purification of adequate amounts of material to sequence was impractical. Southern analysis of Tetrahymena genomic DNA was unfruitful in identifying POMC-related sequences. However, yeast genomic DNA showed hybridizing bands when probed at low stringency with the rat POMC gene. Screening a yeast genomic DNA library under low stringency resulted in identification of one of the DNA sequences responsible. Analysis of hybridizing DNA showed a long open reading frame coding for a putative protein of 610 amino acids, showing 18% identity and 45% chemical similarity to the rat POMC precursor, with 30% identity to the vertebrate ACTH sequence. There was no significant homology to other vertebrate POMC-derived peptides, and the protein showed no features suggesting cleavage into smaller peptides. The presence of a leucine zipper motif and multiple phosphorylation sites indicated an ability to dimerize and possibly bind DNA. A second open reading frame was also found on the opposite DNA strand 500 bases upstream, showing strong homology to DNA-unwinding proteins. A poly(dA-dT) stretch between both genes may function as a common regulatory sequence. Northern analysis indicated the ORF1gene was expressed. However, deletion and overexpression analysis showed it was not likely to be responsible for the measured immunoactivity, that it was not essential, and that it had no effect on growth rate under normal aerobic conditions. Significance of the sequence similarity to POMC and possible functions are discussed.
Improving medication adherence in individuals with psychiatric illesses
Creators: name: Alcala, Meghann

description: Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are chronic, serious mental health illnesses that can impact an individual’s well-being and result in severe symptoms. Psychiatric medications are a necessary treatment for people with these disorders; yet, many patients do not take their medications as prescribed. Medication nonadherence often results inadequate symptom reduction, poor psychosocial functioning, arrests, substance use, and high rates of relapse and hospitalizations. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to use a psychoeducation program and mobile device application (app), Medisafe, to improve medication adherence from baseline medication adherence in adult psychiatric outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Methodology included improving medication adherence using a quality improvement approach, implementation of a psychoeducation program over a series of four weekly approximate one-hour sessions once a week; and implementation of Medisafe. The Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) was administered pre-post- and post-intervention. The Mobile Device App Satisfaction Survey (MDASS), and Clinical Global Impressions Scale (CGI) were administered pre- and post-intervention to measure the study outcome. Also, weekly adherence percentage reports were evaluated on participants’ mobile device apps. Results were that MARS and MDASS results were not statistically significant, while CGI results were statistically significant post-intervention. Implications are that the app can continue to bed used in the mental health population, yet further research is needed.

Frequency-explicit approximability estimates for time-harmonic Maxwell's equations

description: We consider time-harmonic Maxwell's equations set in an heterogeneous medium with perfectly conducting boundary conditions. Given a divergence-free right-hand side lying in $L^2$, we provide a frequency-explicit approximability estimate measuring the difference between the corresponding solution and its best approximation by high-order Nédélec finite elements. Such an approximability estimate is crucial in both the a priori and a posteriori error analysis of finite element discretizations of Maxwell's equations, but the derivation is not trivial. Indeed, it is hard to take advantage of high-order polynomials given that the right-hand side only exhibits $L^2$ regularity. We proceed in line with previously obtained results for the simpler setting of the scalar Helmholtz equation, and propose a regularity splitting of the solution. In turn, this splitting yields sharp approximability estimates generalizing known results for the scalar Helmoltz equation and showing the interest of high-order methods.

description: In this paper, we first establish several theorems about the estimation of distance function on real and strongly convex complex Finsler manifolds and then obtain a Schwarz lemma from a strongly convex weakly Kähler-Finsler manifold into a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold. As applications, we prove that a holomorphic mapping from a strongly convex weakly Kähler-Finsler manifold into a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold is necessary constant under an extra condition. In particular, we prove that a holomorphic mapping from a complex Minkowski space into a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold such that its holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded from above by a negative constant is necessary constant.

An investigation of the effects of deformation-induced anisotropy on isotropic classical elastic-plastic materials

description: The effects of recoverable deformation induced anisotropy on the inelastic response of elastic materials are described. Starting by quantifying the degree of  deformation induced anisotropy in isotropic materials, it is proved that the resultant anisotropy is significant only in materials capable of realizing large elastic deviatoric  strains. For common engineering materials, this condition requires that the material strength increase strongly with pressure. For materials whose strength does not vary  strongly with pressure, such as metals, recoverable deformation induced anisotropy is shown to be negligible.
