description: Studies have suggested the benefits of biophilic designs on people’s wellbeing, however, none has investigated the effects of biophilic wallpaper on people’s mental wellbeing, especially in school settings. This project aimed to fill this research gap by investigating the following research question, how does biophilic wallpaper impact university students’ positive affect and negative affect? We hypothesized that staying in a classroom with biophilic wallpaper will increase students’ positive affect and decrease their negative affect, and students will prefer biophilic wallpaper over non-biophilic wallpaper and a plain wall. We conducted an online experiment which randomly assigned the participants to view a picture of a classroom with either biophilic wallpaper, non-biophilic wallpaper, or a plain wall. Then, we asked them to imagine being in the classroom and indicate their likings for the picture and their current positive and negative affect. We obtained 246 valid responses and performed an ANOVA analysis. Results showed that the participants have a stronger preference towards the biophilic wallpaper than towards the non-biophilic wallpaper and the plain wall; they have less negative affect in the biophilic condition than in other two conditions. However, the results were not statistically significant, so we rejected our hypotheses.

description: Luminous submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) have been known for some time to produce a substantial fraction of the far-IR/submillimeter background. New observations show that these systems are not only very luminous, but also very massive. Here we present results from (a) a survey of SMGs' molecular line emission, which has confirmed Keck optical redshifts and revealed their high gas and dynamical masses; and (b) a detailed case study of the rest-frame optical emission from one SMG, which has revealed its high metallicity and old stellar population. We infer a high z~2.7 comoving number density of galaxies with baryonic masses greater than 10^11 solar masses; this is not accounted for in current semi-analytic models of galaxy evolution.

description: In this work, we study a nonlocal opinion dynamics in a ring of agents with circular opinion in the presence of both attractive and repulsive interactions. We identified three types of consensus in this model, including global consensus, local consensus, and chimera consensus. In global consensus, both local agreement among adjacent agents and global agreement among all agents are achieved. In local consensus, local agreement is satisfied but global agreement fails. There are two domains in chimera consensus, one preserves local agreement and the other breaks the local agreement. The relation between the opinion difference between adjacent agents and the interaction radius is investigated and a scaling law is found. The transitions between local consensus and chimera consensus are exemplified.

description: Felicola aspidorhynchus (Werneck, 1948)
Werneck (1948) described the adult male and female of Felicola aspidorhynchus from the banded linsang (Prionodon linsang (Hardwicke, 1821)) collected in eastern Sumatra, Indonesia. This host is distributed in Southeast Asia, particularly southern Myanmar, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, the Sumatran region of Indonesia and Borneo (Duckworth et al. 2016a). Given that P. linsang is native in Malaysia (Abdullah & Mammalian Research Group 2013), it is possible that F. aspidorhynchus occurs in this country.

description: For the past decade, some economists and, more recently, some politicians have taken the position that economic regulation of freight. transportation. should be reduced or eliminated. They suggest that removing regulated motor carriers from economic controls by the Interstate Commerce Commission will encourage new entrants into the industry, lower freight rates, and Improve service to Shippers. The railroad industry and the U.S. Department. of Transportation are advocating significant reductions in the economic regulation of railroad freight transportation. They argue that.the railroad industry suffers from overcapacity, that it is unable to respond to price initiatives of exempt motor and barge carriers of agricultural commodities, and that ICC regulations interfere with efficient management of rail operations.

description: The radial mass distribution of dark matter haloes is investigated within the framework of the spherical infall model. We present a new formulation of spherical collapse including non-radial motions, and compare the analytical profiles with a set of high-resolution N-body simulations ranging from galactic to cluster scales. We argue that the dark matter density profile is entirely determined by the initial conditions, which are described by only two parameters: the height of the primordial peak and the smoothing scale. These are physically meaningful quantities in our model, related to the mass and formation time of the halo. Angular momentum is dominated by velocity dispersion, and it is responsible for the shape of the density profile near the centre. The phase-space density of our simulated haloes is well described by a power-law profile, rho/sigma^3 = 10^{1.46\pm0.04} (rho_c/Vvir^3) (r/Rvir)^{-1.90\pm0.05}. Setting the eccentricity of particle orbits according to the numerical results, our model is able to reproduce the mass distribution of individual haloes.

description: There is a widespread impression that the scientific journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" (A&A) has a smaller impact, as measured by citations to articles, than some of the other major astronomy journals. This impression was apparently supported - and probably created - by the Journal Citation Report (JCR), which is prepared annually by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge. The published poor impact factor of A&A was in fact wrong and was due to a serious flaw in the method used by ISI Web of Knowledge to determine it. The resulting damage inflicted upon A&A by the JCR is incalculable.

title: Anomalous Valency States of some Lanthanide Elements, Produced by Neutron Irradiation
Creators: name: Taylor, Michael
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This study examines changes in the charge state of some lanthanide elements contained in ionic lattices, bombarded by small fluxes of fast and thermal neutrons accompanied by a minimal gamma flux. Reduction from Ln3+ to Ln2+ is shown to have taken place by precipitating the latter from aqueous solution onto barium sulphate and examining the beta activity of the precipitate; and independently by measuring the reducing action of the divalent ion on aqueous methylene blue. The extent of the change is shown to be greater than might be expected from the number of neutron-lanthanide interactions. The reduction (demonstrated with neutrons from two independent sources) arises largely from the effects of the fast neutron flux rather than an (n, y) reaction with thermal neutrons. The divalent state survives in aqueous solution for an appreciable time in the absence of rapidly oxidising species. The study is principally concerned with the reactions of dysprosium and europium; it is suggested that the method of inducing reaction can be extended to other elements in the series with a good chance of success.

Felicola bengalensis

description: Felicola bengalensis (Werneck, 1948)
The type host of Felicola bengalensis is the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus (Pallas, 1777), with a wide distribution from India to Southeast Asia. Werneck (1948) gave the type locality as “ de Pulo Terutan, na costa ocidental da peninsula de Malaca, Sião ” = “from Pulo Terutan, on the western coast of the Malacca Peninsula, Siam ”. The name “Pulo Terutan” refers to the Ko Tarutao Island in Thailand, located approximately 10 kilometers north of Pulau Langkawi in Peninsular Malaysia. Furthermore, Changbunjong et al. (2010, 2011) did not mention any material of F. bengalensis from Malaysia. However, considering that the type host does occur in Malaysia, this louse species may be found in this country.

description: Quantum scattering calculations are reported for the H+HCl(v,j=0) and H+DCl(v,j=0) collisions for vibrational levels v=0-2 of the diatoms. Calculations were performed for incident kinetic energies in the range 10-7 to 10-1 eV, for total angular momentum J=0 and s-wave scattering in the entrance channel of the collisions. Cross sections and rate coefficients are characterized by resonance structures due to quasibound states associated with the formation of the H...HCl and H...DCl van der Waals complexes in the incident channel. For the H+HCl(v,j=0) collision for v=1,2, reactive scattering leading to H_2 formation is found to dominate over non-reactive vibrational quenching in the ultracold regime. Vibrational excitation of HCl from v=0 to v=2 increases the zero-temperature limiting rate coefficient by about 8 orders of magnitude.

description: This study examines how intuitive and specific labeling influences consumers' choice of climate-friendly foods and thus promotes climate sustainability. We predict that intuitive and specific labeling is more likely to increase climate-friendly food choices than conditions with intuitive but non-specific labeling or no labeling. We assessed our hypothesis through an online survey we designed. Within-group comparisons were made among students and staffs in UBC and others (N=155) to determine their willingness to purchase climate-friendly foods with different labels. Research has shown that information integrated into everyday life can encourage consumers to choose more climate-friendly foods (Feucht & Zander, 2017). Results from a one-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated that intuitive and specific labels were statistically significant compared to intuitive but non-specific labels, which suggests that specific information needs to be incorporated into existing intuitive labels to encourage climate-friendly food choices.

description: This paper focuses on the problem of congestion in the agricultural marketing transportation system. The purpose of this study is to 1) examine methodology for evaluating the cost of congestion, 2) relate appropriate research techniques for modeling traffic-congested systems, and 3) carry out analysis of congestion arising in the truck-to-ship intermodal grain transfer system at the Port of Houston. A stochastic network simulation model was constructed to carry out the - queuing analysis. The case study reveals congestion cost to be substantial and congestion-reducing investment in labor and capital economically feasible. The approach presented is purposed as a guide for further research into congestion related problems in the agricultural marketing transportation system.

Creators: name: Riley, Norman
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This review of the preparation and possible manufacture of the 84 isomeric Amino Hydroxy Naphthalene Sulphonic Acids, has been written on the basis that it was a very specialised subject made more so, by directly it from a commercial angle. To this end, naming of the compounds, their uses in the dyestuff field, and methods of preparation have been summarised at length to enable the literature survey to be readily meaningful. The survey has been made not only from available literature, but also from private information available to the Author. These sources have revealed that from 1953 - 1982, of the isomers known, only 40 have been mentioned in the review period, and only 17 with a method of preparation. Information on 8 new isomers was also found, and methods of preparation of 4 of these. Methods of preparation for the other 4 have been suggested. New methods for the synthesising some of the isomers have been found, and as laboratory methods they have a definite value, but do not appear to the Author to have a potential commercial future and this is confirmed by the absence of further information. The review has revealed a decline in the use of these compounds, and reasons have been suggested for this downward movement. Of the five manufactured isomers in 1953, only 3 now appear to be made, and their processes have been changed due to environmental aspects. Methods for the preparation of 20 unknown isomers have been suggested with comments where appropriate, and 5 unknown isomers have been prepared in the laboratory.

description: In models of universal extra dimensions, gravity and all standard model fields propagate in the extra dimensions. Previous studies of such models have concentrated on the Kaluza-Klein (KK) partners of standard model particles. Here we determine the properties of the KK gravitons and explore their cosmological implications. We find the lifetimes of decays to KK gravitons, of relevance for the viability of KK gravitons as dark matter. We then discuss the primordial production of KK gravitons after reheating. The existence of a tower of KK graviton states makes such production extremely efficient: for reheat temperature T_RH and d extra dimensions, the energy density stored in gravitons scales as T_RH^{2+3d/2}. Overclosure and Big Bang nucleosynthesis therefore stringently constrain T_RH in all universal extra dimension scenarios. At the same time, there is a window of reheat temperatures low enough to avoid these constraints and high enough to generate the desired thermal relic density for KK WIMP and superWIMP dark matter.

description: There is a great interest in the scientific community to perform calorimetry on samples having mass in the nanogram range. A detailed knowledge of the energy (heat) exchange in the fast growing family of micro- and nano-systems could provide valuable information about the chemistry and physics at the nano-scale. The possibility to have an atomically flat thermal probe represents an added value, because it provides the unique opportunity to perform Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) together with calorimetry. Here we report the fabrication, characterization, and calibration of atomically flat, single-crystalline gold film thermometers on mica substrate. Gold re-crystallization has been obtained, and successively the thermometer surface has been studied by Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The thermometer calibration demonstrates a heat exchange coefficient of 2.1 x 10^(-7) W/K and a performance about 10 times better than previous sensors based on Si substrates. The experimental setup allows the simultaneous investigation of heat exchange and surface physics on the same sample.

description: One of the most important objectives in a grain storage program is to achieve the price stabilization. Consequently, a fundamental question associated with a storage program is who benefits and who loses from the price stabilization. Many studies have been published to answer this question. Waugh (13) took his proposition in early 1940 that consumers are better, off from the price in stabilization than the prices stabilized at their mean if the source of price instability is stochastic fluctuations in supply. Some years later, Oi (11) demonstrated that producers facing random price due to stochastic shift in demand are worse off from having prices stabilized at their mean. These two studies considered the welfare of one group only and ignored effects of price stabilization on the other group. Massell (10) put consumers and producers together in a single framework under the assumption that demand and supply curves are linear with additive stochastic disturbances. According to his study, welfare gains to each group are indeterminate and depend upon the relative size of variances and the slope of the demand and supply curves. A limitation of this study is the assumption of linear, supply and demand curves with additive stochastic disturbances which are not always true in application.

description: Perianaalne fistul on krooniline haigus, mis võib patsiendi elukvaliteeti tugevalt halvendada, tuues kaasa ärevust, töövõime ja enesehinnangu langust ning depressiooni. Selle fistuli ravis kasutusel olevad traditsioonilised kirurgilised ravimeetodid ei sobi kõrgete fistulite raviks anaalse inkontinentsi tekkeriski tõttu. Kuna keerukate fistulite korral ei ole väga häid tulemusi andvat ravi leitud, jätkub meetodite arendamine. Üheks uuringualuseks metoodikaks on fistulite ravi autoloogse rasva siirdamisega. Nimetatud protseduuriga on esmastes uuringutes saavutatud head ravivastused. Ka esimesed Põhja-Eesti Regionaalhaiglas ning Lääne-Tallinna Keskhaiglas autoloogse rasva siirdamisega ravitud patsiendid on näidanud paljulubavaid tulemusi.

description: Taust. Eesti kuulub kõrge tuberkuloosiriski piirkondade hulka, kus haigustõrje meetmena tuleb seirata tuberkuloosi esinemist.
Eesmärk. Mõõta tuberkuloosihaigete elulemust ja võrrelda nende suremust kogurahvastikuga surmapõhjuste kaupa, seejuures arvesse võttes mitut mõjurit (haridus, rahvus, hulgiravimiresistentsus).
Metoodika. Uuringus kasutati tuberkuloosiregistri, surmapõhjuste registri ja Statistikaameti andmeid. Tuberkuloosiregistri andmete alusel moodustati kohort täiskasvanud (vanus ≥ 15 aastat) isikutest, kellel aastatel 1997–2021 oli diagnoositud elupuhuselt esmane hingamiselundite tuberkuloos. Kohordi elulemust mõõdeti viie aasta suhtelise elulemusmäära (RSR) ja viie aasta standarditud suhtelise elulemusmääraga (ARSR). Kohordi suhtelist surmariski hinnati standarditud suremusmääraga (SMR). Surmariski erinevust mõjuriti uuriti Poissoni mudelite abil ning iseloomustati kohandamata ja kohandatud (ARR) suhtelise riskina. Kõik statistilised näitajad esitati koos 95% usaldusvahemikuga.
Tulemused. Vaatlusperioodil diagnoositi elupuhuselt meestel 5574 ja naistel 2331 hingamiselundite tuberkuloosi esmasjuhtu. Viie aasta ARSR oli meestel 69,0% ja naistel 80,5%. Vanuses 15–44 ja ≥ 75 aastat oli RSR meestel vastavalt 83,9% ja 68,0% ning naistel 92,0% ja 75,0%. Meeste surmarisk oli 3,49 ja naiste surmarisk 2,95 korda kõrgem vastavalt mees- ja naisrahvastiku surmariskist. Suhteliselt kõrge oli surmarisk hingamiselundite haiguste, alkoholist sõltuvate ja väliste surmapõhjuste korral. Kohordis oli üldine surmarisk kõrgem mitte-eestlastel (ARR meestel 1,43; naistel 1,58) ja madalama haridustasemega isikutel (ARR meestel 1,41; naistel 1,44).
Järeldused. Suhteline elulemusmäär tuleks lisada tuberkuloositõrje edukuse näitajate hulka. Edasistes uuringutes võiks käsitleda tegureid, mille tõttu on tuberkuloosi haigestunute üldsuremus ja suremus enamiku surmapõhjuste korral kõrgem kogurahvastiku suremusest.

description: Unnoticed by most people, Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) control entire productions and critical infrastructures such as water distribution, smart grid and automotive manufacturing. Due to the ongoing digitalization, these systems are becoming more and more connected in order to enable remote control and monitoring. However, this shift bears significant risks, namely a larger attack surface, which can be exploited by attackers. In order to make these systems more secure, it takes research, which is, however, difficult to conduct on productive systems, since these often have to operate twenty-four-seven. Testbeds are mostly very expensive or based on simulation with no real-world physical process. In this paper, we introduce LICSTER, an open-source low-cost ICS testbed, which enables researchers and students to get hands-on experience with industrial security for about 500 Euro. We provide all necessary material to quickly start ICS hacking, with the focus on low-cost and open-source for education and research.

description: We outline the basic questions that are being studied in the theory of entanglement. Following a brief review of some of the main achievements of entanglement theory for finite-dimensional quantum systems such as qubits, we will consider entanglement in infinite-dimensional systems. Asking for a theory of entanglement in such systems under experimentally feasible operations leads to the development of the theory of entanglement of Gaussian states. Results of this theory are presented and the tools that have been developed for it are applied to a number of problems.

description: This paper presents an inexpensive, high-precision, but at the same time, easy-to-maintain PIEEG board to convert a RaspberryPI to a Brain-computer interface. This shield allows measuring and processing eight real-time EEG(Electroencephalography) signals. We used the most popular programming languages - C, C++ and Python to read the signals, recorded by the device . The process of reading EEG signals was demonstrated as completely and clearly as possible. This device can be easily used for machine learning enthusiasts to create projects for controlling robots and mechanical limbs using the power of thought. We will post use cases on GitHub (https://github.com/Ildaron/EEGwithRaspberryPI) for controlling a robotic machine, unmanned aerial vehicle, and more just using the power of thought

description: The integrated crop management (ICM) practice, also known as special practice 53 (SP-53), was instituted on a trial basis in 1990 under the Agricultural Conservation Program. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service administers the program, which'provides cost sharing to encourage farmers to adopt systems incorporating integrated pest management and nutrient management practices. Analysis of the first year of ICM, based on a sample of four crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton) grown in four States (Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, Mississippi), indicates some limited success. The primary effect of ICM appears to have been reduced nitrogen fertilizer use. Use of other fertilizers and pesticides, however, remained generally unaffected. ICM had little or no effect on crop yields. Leaching and runoff potential for pesticides was apparently reduced in some instances, while increased in others.

Multimonopoles and closed vortices in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review classical monopole solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. The first part is a pedagogical introduction into to the basic features of the celebrated 't Hooft - Polyakov monopole. In the second part we describe new classes of static axially symmetric solutions which generalise 't Hooft - Polyakov monopole. These configurations are either deformations of the topologically trivial sector or the sectors with different topological charges. In both situations we construct the solutions representing the chains of monopoles and antimonopoles in static equilibrium. The solutions of another type are closed vortices which are centred around the symmetry axis and form different bound systems. Configurations of the third type are monopoles bounded with vortices. We suggest classification of these solutions which is related with 2d Poincare index.

description: This report presents case study analysis of multicommunity collaboration in three midwestern areas--Nebraska, Michigan, and Alberta, Canada. Although the multicommunity collaboration strategy shows promise and has theoretical and intuitive support, the strategy is relatively untested. For example, none of the efforts has resulted in a reverse in population decline, and collaboration does not necessarily result in increased local capacity. The authors offer insight from the perspectives of economics, regional planning, political science, and sociology.

description: We apply the Linear Delta Expansion (LDE) to the Lindstedt-Poincare (``distorted time'') method to find improved approximate solutions to nonlinear problems. We find that our method works very well for a wide range of parameters in the case of the anharmonic oscillator (Duffing equation) and of the non-linear pendulum. The approximate solutions found with this method are better behaved and converge more rapidly to the exact ones than in the simple Lindstedt-Poincaré method.
