description: Real time systems are systems in which there is a commitment for timely response by the computer to external stimuli. Real time applications have to function correctly even in presence of faults. Fault tolerance can be achieved by either hardware or software or time redundancy. Safety-critical applications have strict time and cost constraints, which means that not only faults have to be tolerated but also the constraints should be satisfied. Deadline scheduling means that the taskwith the earliest required response time is processed. The most common scheduling algorithms are :Rate Monotonic(RM) and Earliest deadline first(EDF).This paper deals with the interaction between the fault tolerant strategy and the EDF real time scheduling strategy.

description: Dipterocarpus retusus Blume is an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of D. retusus (GenBank accession number: OP271853). The cp genome was 154,303 bp long, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,586 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,273 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,222 bp. It encodes 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. We also reconstructed the cp genome phylogeny of Dipterocarpus, which indicated D. retusus was closely related with the sympatric species D. gracilis. This study may contribute valuable information to the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Dipterocarpus.

description: We study the totally null surfaces of the neutral Kaehler metric on certain 4-manifolds. The tangent spaces of totally null surfaces are either self-dual ($α$-planes) or anti-self-dual ($β$-planes) and so we consider $α$-surfaces and $β$-surfaces. The metric of the examples we study, which include the spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-manifolds of constant curvature, are anti-self-dual, and so it is well-known that the $α$-planes are integrable and $α$-surfaces exist. These are holomorphic Lagrangian surfaces, which for the geodesic spaces correspond to totally umbilic foliations of the underlying 3-manifold. The $β$-surfaces are less known and our interest is mainly in their description. In particular, we classify the $β$-surfaces of the neutral Kaehler metric on $TN$, the tangent bundle to a Riemannian 2-manifold $N$. These include the spaces of oriented geodesics in Euclidean and Lorentz 3-space, for which we show that the $β$-surfaces are affine tangent bundles to curves of constant geodesic curvature on $S^2$ and $H^2$, respectively. In addition, we construct the $β$-surfaces of the space of oriented geodesics of hyperbolic 3-space.

description: Fully bioresorbable polymer matrix composites have long been considered as potential orthopaedic implant materials, however their combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, ductility and bioresorbability is also attractive for cardiac stent applications. This work investigated reinforcement of polylactide-based polymers with phosphate glasses, addressing key drawbacks of current polymer stents, and examined the often-neglected evolution of structure and mechanical properties during degradation. Incorporation of 15 - 30wt.% phosphate glass led to modulus increases of up to 80% under simulated body conditions, and 15wt.% glass composites retained comparable ductility to pure polymers, crucial for stent applications where ductility and stiffness are required. Two-stage degradation was observed, dominated by interfacial water absorption and glass dissolution. Polymer embrittlement mechanisms (crystallisation, enthalpy relaxation) were suppressed by glass addition, allowing composites to achieve a more controlled loss of mechanical properties during degradation, which could allow gradual transfer of loading to newly healed tissue. These results provide a valuable new system for understanding the structural and mechanical changes occurring during degradation of fully bioresorbable polymer matrix composites, providing important new data to underpin the design of effective cardiac stent materials.

description: The filamentous fungus Talaromyces liani (Kamyschko) Yilmaz, Frisvad & Samson, 2014, has attracted considerable interest in biotechnology due to its diverse industrial applications and physiological characteristics. However, the mitochondrial genome of T. liani remains uncharacterized. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of T. liani, comprising 38,000 bp with a GC content of 24.61%. This genome includes 15 core protein-coding genes, 4 independent ORFs, 6 intronic ORFs, 26 tRNAs, and 2 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian inference (BI) revealed the evolutionary relationships among 15 fungi from Eurotiales, strongly supporting distinct clades and indicating that T. liani most closely related to T. pinophilus.

description: Anthemis L. 1753 is a species-rich genus of Asteraceae. It includes species of economic value as ornamental, edible and medicinal plants. We report here the complete chloroplast genome of Anthemis cretica subsp. calabrica (Arcang.) R. Fern. 1975, the first chloroplast genome of any Anthemis species. For the scope, we have used long reads obtained with Oxford Nanopore technology. The assembled plastome is 149,509 bp long and is subdivided in a large single-copy region (LSC, 82,317 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,212 bp) and two inverted repeat regions (IR: 24,490 bp). It comprehends 136 predicted genes, of which 92 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The overall GC content is 37.54%. The position of A. cretica subsp. calabrica in the phylogenetic tree is congruent with those of previous analyses based on a few chloroplast or nuclear regions.
Control of unstable macroscopic oscillations in the dynamics of three coupled Bose condensates

description: We study the dynamical stability of the macroscopic quantum oscillations characterizing a system of three coupled Bose-Einstein condensates arranged into an open-chain geometry. The boson interaction, the hopping amplitude and the central-well relative depth are regarded as adjustable parameters. After deriving the stability diagrams of the system, we identify three mechanisms to realize the transition from an unstable to stable behavior and analyze specific configurations that, by suitably tuning the model parameters, give rise to macroscopic effects which are expected to be accessible to experimental observation. Also, we pinpoint a system regime that realizes a Josephson-junction-like effect. In this regime the system configuration do not depend on the model interaction parameters, and the population oscillation amplitude is related to the condensate-phase difference. This fact makes possible estimating the latter quantity, since the measure of the oscillating amplitudes is experimentally accessible.

description: Particulate reinforcement of polymeric matrices is a powerful technique for tailoring the mechanical and degradation properties of bioresorbable implant materials. Dispersion of inorganic particles is critical to achieving optimal properties, however established techniques such as twin-screw extrusion or solvent casting can have significant drawbacks including excessive thermal degradation or particle agglomeration. We present a facile method for production of polymer-inorganic composites that reduces the time at elevated temperature and the time available for particle agglomeration. Glass slurry was added to a dissolved PLLA solution, and ethanol was added to precipitate polymer onto the glass particles. Characterisation of parts formed by subsequent micro-injection moulding of composite precipitate revealed a significant reduction in agglomeration, with d0.9 reduced from 170 to 43 μm. This drastically improved the ductility (εB) from 7% to 120%, without loss of strength or stiffness. The method is versatile and applicable to a wide range of polymer and filler materials.

description: Chlaenius bimaculatus Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidea) is a predator of several lepidopteran pests, including Spodoptera frugiperda, S. litura and Helcystogramma triannulella. However, there has been little research into using C. bimaculatus to control crop pests. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of C. bimaculatus. The results showed that the entire mitochondrial genome was 16,419 bp and contained 24% GC. 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes were identified. C. bimaculatus shares the same genetic arrangement and composition as other Coleoptera insects. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. bimaculatus is closely related to Diplocheila zeelandica.

 The impact of social media on brain structures and functions

Subjects: Clinical neuropsychology

description: This intervention discusses the impact of social media on the structure and functions of the brain in general, as well as its specific effects on mental and social health. Therefore, the importance of this topic lies in monitoring the role of these platforms in individuals' daily lives and understanding their behavioral and psychological changes by uncovering their neural basis. Since emotional expression differs between ordinary life and social media platforms, due to variations in the activation levels of neural pathways and brain structures, our analysis is based on the results of psychological and neurological studies that adopt two approaches: the first focuses on observing some positive effects, including improved learning, memory, social interaction, and thought processes, while the second highlights negative effects related to mental health, attention, concentration, emotional control, deep analysis, and critical thinking. However, what these approaches have in common is their agreement that excessive use of social media may lead to changes in brain structure, such as a decrease in the volume of certain neural areas or an increase in others, resulting in different levels of activation. This can potentially increase the risk of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and alter the processing of emotions and feelings by activating reward and other neural regions to a greater extent. Therefore, the main purpose of this intervention is to understand the neural basis of this phenomenon and comprehend the psychological consequences in order to help foster a more rational use of these platforms, mitigating their negative effects and harnessing their positive effects to improve quality of life. It also aims to raise awareness about mental health issues, establish scientific foundations for psychological and social support, and provide guidance based on scientific evidence.

description: Based on the Ogorodnikov-Milne model, we analyze the proper motions of 95 633 red giant clump (RGC) stars from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. The following Oort constants have been found: A = 15.9+-0.2 km/s/kpc and B = -12.0+-0.2 km/s/kpc. Using 3632 RGC stars with known proper motions, radial velocities, and photometric distances, we show that, apart from the star centroid velocity components relative to the Sun, only the model parameters that describe the stellar motions in the XY plane differ significantly from zero. We have studied the contraction (a negative K-effect) of the system of RGC stars as a function of their heliocentric distance and elevation above the Galactic plane. For a sample of distant (500--1000 pc) RGC stars located near the Galactic plane (|Z|<200 pc) with an average distance of d=0.7 kpc, the contraction velocity is shown to be Kd= -3.5+-0.9 km/s; a noticeable vertex deviation, lxy = 9.1+-0.5 degrees, is also observed for them. For stars located well above the Galactic plane (|Z|>=200 pc), these effects are less pronounced, Kd = -1.7+-0.5 km/s and lxy = 4.9+-0.6 degrees. Using RGC stars, we have found a rotation around the Galactic X axis directed toward the Galactic center with an angular velocity of -2.5+-0.3 km/s/kpc, which we associate with the warp of the Galactic stellar-gaseous disk.

description: Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $B$ decays in both neutral $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ and charged $b\rightarrow cl\barν_{l}$ processes observed in the ratios $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$ is investigated in the framework of a model based on the extended symmetry gauge $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ whose leptonic sector consists of five triplets. It is shown that in order to explain the experimentally observed deviations from the Standard Model in these flavor changing transitions, a non-minimal version of the model has to be considered. We investigate the ability of this model in accommodating the model-independent scenarios currently favored by global fits.

The Weyl functional calculus
Creators: name: Cressman, Ross Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Weyl functional calculus for a family of n self-adjoint operators acting on a Hilbert space provides a map from spaces of functions on R[sup n] into the set of bounded operators. The calculus is not multiplicative under point-wise multiplication of functions unless the self-adjoint operators commute. However, if the operators happen to generate a strongly continuous unitary representation of a Lie group, we can hope to define a "skew product" on the function spaces under which the calculus is multiplicative. In part I, we show that, for exponential groups, a natural skew product exists by using the exponential map to pull the convolution on the group back to the Lie algebra. Moreover, whenever a skew product is defined in part I, it depends only on the underlying Lie group and not on the particular representation. We then examine when the skew product of two functions is again in the original function space. For compact Lie groups, the theory becomes more complex. A skew product is constucted but by a rather artificial method. The explicit calculations for SU(2) demonstrates the difficulties. In part II, a unique skew product is developed for the position and momentum operators of one dimensional quantum mechanics. The dynamics of quantum mechanics on phase space can be formulated through this skew product whenever the underlying Hamiltonian corresponds to a tempered distribution on the plane. The resulting evolution operator on phase space is shown to be equivalent to the difference of two "singular" integral operators obtained from the usual configuration space formulation. The evolution and configuration operators are then bounded with appropriate domains for the same set of tempered distributions. The skew product on this set of distributions is used to define noncommutative Banach algebras and to determine the multipliers on these spaces. For real, compactly supported distributions, it is shown that the phase space formulation has a unique solution if and only if there is a unique solution on configuration space. On the other hand, we observe that the symmetries of the evolution operator seem to imply that the two formulations of quantum mechanics are not equivalent for all real tempered distributions.

In the present study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of R. maidis. The circular genome is found to be 17,021 bp in length, includes a standard set of 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and two non-coding control regions. The base composition is 84.32% AT and 15.79% GC. The phylogenetic tree of the 17 Aphidini families constructed based on the nucleotide sequences of complete mitochondrial genomes strongly supports the conclusion that R. maidis is closely related to R. rufiabdominalis.

description: This manuscript examines the compact stars in gravity $f (Q)$, where non-metricity $Q$ drives gravitational interactions. To achieve this goal, we consider a spherically symmetric spacetime with the anisotropic fluid distribution. In particular, the quintessence field is used in the energy-momentum tensor to explore the solution of compact stars. In addition, we select three specific types of compact stars, namely HerX-1, SAXJ1808.4-3658, and 4U1820-30. We develop the field equations using the quintessence field of a specific form of $f(Q)$ as $f(Q)=Q-αγ\left(1-\frac{1}{e^{\frac{Q}γ}}\right)$ in $f (Q)$ gravity. In addition, we consider the Schwarzschild metric for the matching conditions at the boundary. Then, we calculate the values of all the relevant parameters by imposing matching conditions. We provide detailed graphical analyses to discuss the parameters' physical viability, namely energy density, pressure, gradient and anisotropy. We also examine the stability of compact stars by testing energy conditions, equations of state, conditions of causality, redshift functions, mass functions, and compactness functions. Finally, we find that the solutions we obtained are physically feasible in modified $f (Q)$ gravity, and also it has good properties for the compact star models.

description: Saxifraga giraldiana Engler is a common subalpine and alpine plant belonging to Saxifragaceae. However, the genetic diversity of this species has remained to be explored. In this study, we have assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of S. giraldiana, filling this knowledge gap and uncovering its genetic composition. The chloroplast genome is 147,267 bp long and contains 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Furthermore, we have performed a phylogenetic analysis of 19 representative species within Saxifraga. As a result, we have found that S. giraldiana, together with S. implicans and S. stellariifolia, forms a monophyletic group. These findings have implications for the conservation and utilization of S. giraldiana.

description: Due to hardware and computational constraints, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) normally do not take measurements of time-of-arrival or time-difference-of-arrival for rangebased localization. Instead, WSNs in some applications use rangefree localization for simple but less accurate determination of sensor positions. A well-known algorithm for this purpose is the centroid algorithm. This paper presents a range-free localization technique based on the radical line of intersecting circles. This technique provides greater accuracy than the centroid algorithm, at the expense of a slight increase in computational load. Simulation results show that for the scenarios studied, the radical line method can give an approximately 2 to 30% increase in accuracy over the centroid algorithm, depending on whether or not the anchors have identical ranges, and on the value of DOI.

Quantitative models of information flow: tuning the power of the adversary

description: Despite the variety of tools and techniques deployed in order to protect sensitive data, ranging from security types in programming
languages to anonymity protocols, data sanitisation, cryptographic algorithms, . . . , real-world systems tend to disclose part of the information they are meant to
protect. This happens either by design - when the output of the system is public (e.g. a password checker) - or for reasons depending on their actual deployment
and implementation (e.g. side-channel attacks against cryptographic devices). Our work aims to study methods for analysing from a quantitative point of view the
behaviour of information flow in computing systems, that is, the leakage of sensible information via public outputs. In general, we are interested in studying systems
with a probabilistic behaviour, in situations where the attacker is allowed to run these systems several times, while the secret is kept fixed. We analyse quantitative
nformation flow in various scenarios characterised by an increasing power of the adversary. We start from the case of a single, passive attacker, attempting to
break the system solely based upon observed data. Then we examine more complex settings, where we are faced with adversaries that collect sequential observations,
up to considering active adversaries, capable of directly interacting with the system. In all cases, we consider one-try re-execution attacks, where the adversary can
make a single guess after observing a certain number of independent executions of the system. In particular, we define suitable security metrics and study
their asymptotic behaviour as the number of observations increases, as well as their rate of convergence. We also consider a number of applications of our analysis techniques.
The discrete least squares method for 2m-th order elliptic boundary-value problems
Creators: name: Sammon, Peter Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Many positive results are known for the Least Squares method of numerically computing an approximant solution for a 2m-th order elliptic boundary value problem on a real interval. However due to integrals that appear in the linear system that must be solved to find the approximant solution, the Least Squares method is computationally unattractive. Thus one is led to consider other, more practical, methods. In this thesis, such a method is examined. It is first shown that minimizing a quantity involving discrete quadrature sums to find an approximation to the solution leads to a linear system in which quadrature sums, not integrals, appear. The approximation generated by this method, known as the Discrete Least Squares method, is thus easily computed. Error estimates are then proven for the Discrete method. A certain polynomial interpolate is first constructed and then using Sobolev space theory and known estimates from the related Least Squares method, the desired estimates are obtained. These estimates are like the usual Least Squares estimates although more continuity of the coefficients of the problem is required in the final stages. Comparisons are then drawn between the Discrete method and the Collocation method. It is noted that both methods offer easy computability and shown why the Discrete method can generate a smoother approximation in most situations. Results of numerical computations are then provided which support the theory and a discussion of what problems the theory applies to is also given.
An agent based force vector model of social influence that predicts strong polarization in a connected world

description: The model is based on a vector representation of each agent. The components of the vector are the key continuous attributes that determine the social behavior of the agent. A simple mathematical force vector model is used to predict the effect of each agent on all other agents. The force law used is motivated by gravitational force laws and electrical force laws for dipoles. It assumes that the force between two agents is proportional to the similarity of attributes, which is implemented mathematically as the dot product of the vectors representing the attributes of the agents, and the force goes as the inverse square of the difference in attributes, which is expressed as the Euclidean distance in attribute space between the two vectors. The force between the agents may be positive (attractive), zero, or negative (repulsive) depending on whether the angle between the corresponding vectors is less than, equal to, or greater than 90 degrees. A positive force causes the attributes of the agents to become more similar and the corresponding vectors to become more nearly parallel. Interaction between all agents is allowed unless the distance between the attributes representing the agents exceeds a confidence limit (the Attribute Influence Bound) set in the simulation. Agents with similar attributes tend to form groups. For small values of the Attribute Influence Bound, numerous groups remain scattered throughout attribute space at the end of a simulation. As the Attribute Influence Bound is increased, and agents with increasingly different attributes can communicate, fewer groups remain at the end, and the remaining groups have increasingly different characteristic attributes and approximately equal sizes. With a large Attribute Influence Bound all agents are connected and extreme bi- or tri-polarization results.

description: In the first quarter of the 20th century, physicists were not aware of the existence of classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation nor of the importance of special relativity. Inclusion of these aspects allows classical electron theory to be extended beyond its 19th century successes. Here we review spherical electromagnetic radiation modes in a conducting-walled spherical cavity and connect these modes to classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation and to electromagnetic scale invariance. Then we turn to the scattering of radiation in classical electron theory within a simple approximation. We emphasize that, in steady-state, the interaction between matter and radiation is disguised so that the mechanical motion appears to occur without the emission of radiation, even though the particle motion is actually driven by classical electromagnetic radiation. It is pointed out that, for nonrelativistic particles, only the harmonic oscillator potential taken in the low-velocity limit allows a consistent equilibrium with classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation. For relativistic particles, only the Coulomb potential is consistent with electrodynamics. The classical analysis places restrictions on the value of $e^{2}/\hbar c$.

description: We have performed a first-principles density functional theory investigation of the penetration of helium atoms through a graphene monolayer with defects. The relaxation of the graphene layer caused by the incoming helium atoms does not have a strong influence on the height of the energy barriers for penetration. For defective graphene layers, the penetration barriers decrease exponentially with the size of the defects but they are still sufficiently high that very large defects are needed to make the graphene sheet permeable for small atoms and molecules. This makes graphene a very promising material for the construction of nanocages and nanomembranes.

description: The mitochondrial genome of Dematophora necatrix is 121,350 base pairs in length with a G + C content of 30.19%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that D. necatrix grouped with other members of the Xylariaceae, with which its mitogenome also shares a broadly similar architecture and gene content. The D. necatrix mitogenome contains 14 protein-coding and 26 tRNA-encoding genes, as well as one copy each of the rnl, rns, rps3 and nat1 genes. However, as much as 80% of this genome is intronic or non-coding. This is likely due to expansions and rearrangements caused by the large number of group I introns and the homing endonucleases and reverse-transcriptases they encode. Our study thus provides a valuable foundation from which to explore the mitochondrion’s role in the biology of D. necatrix, and also serves as a resource for investigating the pathogen’s population biology and general ecology.
