description: Hydrogen bonding is the most common noncovalent reversible interaction leading to supramolecular polymeric assemblies. Shabbir et al. (Macromolecules 48:5988–5996, 2015) reported both linear and nonlinear rheological data for a model system consisting of pure poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PnBA) homopolymer and three PnBA-poly(acrylic acid) (PnBA-PAA) copolymers with different numbers of acrylic acid (AA) side groups. Hydrogen bonds between the AA groups not only cause the storage and loss modulus to shift in the direction of a power law scaling of 0.5 in the terminal relaxation regime, but also the elongational viscosity shows increasing strain hardening with a strongly nonlinear dependence on the number of hydrogen bonding groups. Based on the “Sticky Rouse” model and a constitutive equation of the Doi-Edwards type with consideration of chain stretch, we model the effect of hydrogen bonding on the elongational viscosity of the PnBA-AA copolymers. We show that the elongational viscosity data are consistent with a Sticky Rouse relaxation modulus of the AA associations characterized by a constant modulus GA and a constant sticker life time τA, while the complexity of the hydrogen assemblies as quantified by the Sticky Rouse time increases with the concentration of AA groups from the order of seconds (3% AA) to hours (6%AA) and to 1 day (13%AA), and leads to extreme strain hardening. The elongational stress shows a steady state at large strains and the stretch reaches a limiting value independent of strain rate. At the highest concentration of AA groups investigated (38%AA), the PnBA-AA copolymer is a weak gel fracturing at a critical strain, and the sticker life time loses its significance. The effect of the Sticky Rouse time on self-healing is discussed.

description: (abridged) Context: The envelopes of molecular gas around embedded low-mass protostars show different chemistries, which can be used to trace their formation history and physical conditions. The excitation of some molecular species can also be used to trace these physical conditions, making it possible to constrain e.g. sources of heating and excitation. Aims: To study the range of influence of an intermediate-mass Herbig Be protostar, and to find what chemical and physical impact feedback effects from the environment may have on embedded protostars. Methods: We follow up on an earlier line survey of the Class 0/I source R CrA IRS7B in the 0.8 mm window with an unbiased line survey of the same source in the 1.3 mm window using the APEX telescope. We also study the excitation of the key species H2CO, CH3OH, and c-C3H2 in a complete sample of the 18 embedded protostars in the Corona Australis star-forming region. Radiative transfer models are used to establish abundances of the molecular species. Results: We detect line emission from 20 molecular species (32 including isotopologues) in the two surveys. The most complex species detected are CH3OH, CH3CCH, CH3CHO, and CH3CN. Several complex organics are significantly under-abundant in comparison with "hot corino" protostars. The H2CO temperatures of the sources in the region decrease with the distance to the Herbig Be star R CrA, whereas the c-C3H2 temperatures remain constant across the star-forming region. Conclusions: The high H2CO temperatures observed towards objects close to R CrA suggest that this star has a sphere of influence of several 10000 AU in which it increases the temperature of the molecular gas to 30-50 K through irradiation. The chemistry in the IRS7B envelope differs significantly from many other embedded protostars, which could be an effect of the external irradiation from R CrA.

description: Window aggregations and windowed joins are central operators of modern real-time analytic workloads and significantly impact the performance of stream processing systems. This paper gives an overview of state-of-the-art research in this area conducted by the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) and the Technische Universität Berlin. To this end, we present different algorithms for efficiently processing windowed operators and discuss techniques for distributed stream processing. Recently, several approaches have leveraged modern hardware for windowed stream processing, which we will also include in this overview. Additionally, we describe the integration of windowed operators into various stream processing systems and diverse applications that use specialized window operations.

The effects of satiety responsiveness and maternal work status on the relationship between breastfeeding and BMI z-score of toddlers
Creators: name: Hathcock, Amber
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Background: Objective: The association between breastfeeding and decreased toddler adiposity has been confirmed in numerous studies. The mechanism behind this association is still unknown. One theory is that children who are breastfed have increased responsiveness to internal satiety cues. The mode of delivery of breast milk (bottle vs. breast) may also influence the satiety responsiveness. Methods: We conducted secondary data analysis of 428 toddlers aged 2 years. Mothers’ body mass index (BMI) and children’s BMI z-score were measured. Mothers completed the satiety subscale of the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) and the scores used to assess satiety responsiveness. Maternal work status was used as a proxy for mode of delivery of breast milk. Regression analyses were used to determine if satiety responsiveness and work status modified the effects of breastfeeding on BMI z-score and BMI percentile. Results: Initiation of breastfeeding was associated with decreased BMI z-score (0.40 vs. 0.60; p=0.04); this association was attenuated after controlling for satiety responsiveness (adjusted BMI z-scores: 0.44 vs. 0.48, p=0.70. Interestingly, increased satiety responsiveness was weakly associated with decreased duration and intensity of breastfeeding; this relationship was mitigated after controlling for maternal work status. Conclusion: The association between breastfeeding and toddler obesity is at least in part due to increased satiety responsiveness. The mode of delivery of milk for infants may be partially responsible for the increase in satiety responsiveness observed with breastfeeding. More research is needed to characterize satiety responsiveness and its influence on the relationship between breastfeeding and childhood obesity.

description: We investigate the output generation of squeezed radiation of a cavity photon mode coupled to another off-resonant bosonic excitation. By modulating in time their linear interaction, we predict high degree of output squeezing when the dispersive ultrastrong coupling regime is achieved, i.e., when the interaction rate becomes comparable to the frequency of the lowest energy mode. Our work paves the way to squeezed light generation in frequency domains where the ultrastrong coupling is obtained, e.g., solid-state resonators in the GHz, THz and mid-IR spectral range.

description: Sustainability in tourism is a topic of global relevance, finding multiple mentions in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The complex task of balancing tourism’s economic, environmental, and social effects requires detailed and up-to-date data. This paper investigates whether online platform data can be employed as an alternative data source in sustainable tourism statistics. Using a web-scraped dataset from a large online tourism platform, a sustainability label for accommodations can be predicted reasonably well with machine learning techniques. The algorithmic prediction of accommodations’ sustainability using online data can provide a cost-effective and accurate measure that allows to track developments of tourism sustainability across the globe with high spatial and temporal granularity.

description: The current pandemic is a great challenge for several research areas. In addition to virology research, mathematical models and simulations can be a valuable contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the pandemic and can give recommendations to both physicians and politicians. In this paper we give an overview about mathematical models to describe the pandemic by differential equations. As a matter of principle the historic origin of the epidemic growth models will be remembered. Moreover we discuss models for the actual pandemic of 2020/2021. This will be done based on actual data of people infected with COVID-19 from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), input parameters of mathematical models will be determined and applied. These parameters will be estimated for the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany and used in a SIR-type model. As a basis for the model’s calibration, the initial exponential growth phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the named countries is used. Strategies for the commencing and ending of social and economic shutdown measures are discussed. To respect heterogeneity of the people density in the different federal states of Germany diffusion effects are considered.
Developing Botrytis cinerea as a non-GM enzyme producer for the removal of haze-forming proteins under normal winemaking conditions

description: Improvement of winemaking processes has long been a focus of research efforts to increase the efficiency and economy of the billion-dollar wine industry. A key process for improvement is alternative methods of heat stabilizing wine. Wine haze is caused by the aggregation of grape proteins following heating, usually during transport and storage, making the wine unappealing to consumers. Fining with bentonite clay is the most common method of heat stabilizing wine. However, bentonite fining can remove desirable compounds from wine and creates environmental waste. Additionally, 3 to 10 % of the total wine volume is sequestered in the bentonite lees, requiring rotary drum filtration to remove residual wine which greatly reduces the quality and value of the wine. Microbial enzymes have been the recent focus of advancement in this area, with many showing promise as a feasible alternative to bentonite. Unfortunately, these enzymes generally require heat treatment to activate the enzyme and denature the haze-forming proteins, a process that is out of reach for many wineries. Recently, proteases from the fungus Botrytis cinerea have been studied for their effect on wine haze-forming proteins, under normal winemaking conditions, and a reduction in haze-forming proteins was observed. However, the protease was created using recombinant expression which is not accepted in winemaking. This research focused on developing a protease preparation from B. cinerea without genetic modification. Wild B. cinerea isolates were screened for protease production in optimised liquid medium, then protease production was scaled up to 1 and 10 L bioreactor volumes. The large volumes of protease containing supernatant was then concentrated and the protease preparation tested in three white wines under normal winemaking conditions, showing a reduction of 0.5 g/L bentonite required for heat stability of a Sauvignon Blanc wine and no significant difference in a Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.

The Opioid Epidemic: The Role and Responsibilities of the Occupational Health Nurse
Creators: name: Simons, Jill
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: ABSTRACTThe opioid epidemic has been active since the 1980s. It peaked in 2010 but the United States continues to see over 100 opioid related deaths a day. This paper provides a history of the epidemic, epidemiological evidence, financial and societal effects, and risk factors surrounding prescribed opioid use, and addresses the public health and governmental response to the epidemic. The effects in the workplace are numerous—limited number of job applicants who are drug-free, safety incidents caused by employees who are under the influence, difficulty in getting injured employees back to work following opioid use for pain control, and lack of evidence-based treatment for current employees who have developed a substance use disorder (SUD).  Policies and programs that have been successful in minimizing opioid use and abuse are discussed. Occupational Health Nurses (OHNs) play a variety of critical roles as clinician, educator, manager, consultant, researcher, and advocate in the prevention of opioid use in the workplace. They can utilize an existing education program structure, identify impaired individuals, and refer them for evidence-based treatment. A variety of resources are available, such as the federal Drug-free Workplace Program and partnerships in the health care community, that OHNs can use to promote opioid-free treatment, influence prescribing practices, and encourage SUD treatment. While there were limited educational resources regarding the opioid epidemic a year ago, the federal government and a variety of health care organizations are now actively promoting containment of the epidemic in the workplace.

description: Conditional payments allow the transfer of money only when pre-defined rules hold. Example uses could include welfare payments, employee expenses, insurance payouts, or tied donations. Normally, conditions are checked manually in reimbursement or pre-approval/audit processes, either at accounts before funds are distributed, or using account records after distribution. Blockchain’s capabilities for smart contract and digital assets can be used to implement next-generation conditional payments, on a decentralized ledger. We conducted a project with an industry partner where we conceptualized, implemented, and evaluated a novel programmable money concept using blockchain. In the system, programmed policies are not attached to accounts, but instead to money itself. Policies here specify the conditions when money may be spent, and can be automatically checked by the money as it is spent. Policies can also define auxiliary actions to be taken as part of payment transactions, including side-payments. Policies can be dynamically added to and removed from money as it flows through an economy. These policies could be budget rules for tied funds, but could also enable new forms of “values-based money” that respect ethical or other rules which relate to societal values or social norms. We report on some of our experiences and insights regarding blockchain architecture, software engineering with blockchain, and blockchain-based programmable money. We also identify opportunities and open research questions in these areas.

description: Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so (Galileo Galilei). According to the above sentence we do not ask why we need to measure democracy but if it is possible to measure something which is not unequivocally defined. Although, it is unlikely a final agreement on the definition of democracy, the idea that it is a form of governance based on collective decision making seems to be uncontested. On the premise that in the high-quality democracy citizens (agents) not only must have equal participation rights but must want to participate in shaping decision, as an effective measure of democracy in a two party political system we propose the percentage of the total population that actually voted in a given elections only for two major parties. Thus, we disregard not only nonvoters but also smaller parties voters whom votes will not have a substantial impact on the election and consequently they will not be in the loop, even theoretically. To describe such a system a sociophysics model based on the $S=1$ Ising model (Blume-Capel) is proposed. The measure of democracy, V_D index, as a function of inter-party conflict is analyzed.

description: State tomography allows to characterize quantum states, and was recently applied to reveal the dynamic magnetization state of a parametrically driven magnet. The identification of non-classical states, such as squeezed states, relies on a careful analysis of their emission and their distinction from thermal and vacuum fluctuations. A technique allowing to detect equilibrium magnetization fluctuations is a crucial first step in this regard. In this Letter, we show that inductive magnon noise spectroscopy (iMNS) allows to characterize the thermal magnetization fluctuations of a ferromagnetic thin film in a broadband coplanar waveguide-based scheme. Relative to a cold microwave background, the microwaves emitted by the equilibrium magnetization fluctuations can be detected via spectrum analysis. We provide a comprehensive picture of our microwave system by quantitatively modeling its response, including the thermalizing influence of the cables. The model allows for direct comparison to low-power broadband ferromagnetic resonance measurements with excellent agreement, corroborating the equilibrium character of the iMNS measurement by probing the linear response of the equilibrium state. Our work thus demonstrates broadband access to the equilibrium properties of magnetization fluctuations using a purely inductive approach.

description: When an elastoplastic material undergoes large plastic deformations, the elastic law and particularly the stiffness tetrad will evolve. This evolution is strongly dependent on the particular material. In the present paper, we consider a fiber-reinforced composite with fibers in different distinct directions. These directions introduce the anisotropy into the material behavior, particularly into the elastic law. Under plastic deformations, these directions are deformed together with the material (in contrast to crystal plasticity). This effect is called material plasticity and gives the basis for our new method. It consists of superimposing transversely isotropic stiffnesses for each fiber direction at any stage of the deformation process. A comparison for different composites and deformation paths shows the range of applicability of this method.

description: Solar radio zebras are used in the determination of the plasma density and magnetic field in solar flare plasmas. Analyzing observed zebra stripes and assuming their generation by the double-plasma resonance (DPR) instability, high values of the gyro-harmonic number are found. In some cases they exceed one hundred, in disagreement with the DPR growth rates computed up to now, which decrease with increasing gyro-harmonic number. We address the question of how zebras with high values of the gyro-harmonic numbers s are generated. For this purpose, we compute the growth rates of the DPR instability in a very broad range of s, considering a loss-cone κ-distribution of superthermal electrons and varying the loss-cone angle, electron energies, and background plasma temperature. We have numerically calculated the dispersion relations and the growth rates of the upper-hybrid waves and found that the growth rates increase with increasing gyro-harmonic numbers if the loss-cone angles are ∼80∘. The highest growth rates for these loss-cone angles are obtained for velocity vκ=0.15c. The growth rates as a function of the gyro-harmonic number still show well distinct peaks, which correspond to zebra-stripe frequencies. The contrast between peak growth rates and surrounding growth ratelevels increases as the κ index increases and the background temperature decreases. Zebras with high values of s can be generated in regions where loss cone distributions of superthermal electrons with large loss-cone angles (∼80∘) are present. Furthermore, owing to the high values of s, the magnetic field is relatively weak and has a small spatial gradient in such regions.

description: The spatial distribution of the tropospheric methane on Titan was measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. Ground-based observations at 1.5$μ{\rm m}$ (H-band) were performed during the same night using instruments with adaptive optics at both the W. M. Keck Observatory and at the Paranal Observatory on 17 July 2014 UT. The integral field observations with SINFONI on the VLT covered the entire H-band at moderate resolving power, $R=λ/Δλ\approx1,500$, while the Keck observations were performed with NIRSPAO near 1.55254$μ{\rm m}$ at higher resolution, $R\approx25,000$. The moderate resolution observations are used for flux calibration and for the determination of model parameters that can be degenerate in the interpretation of high resolution spectra. Line-by-line calculations of CH$_4$ and CH$_3$D correlated $k$ distributions from the HITRAN 2012 database were used, which incorporate revised line assignments near 1.5$μ{\rm m}$. We fit the surface albedo and aerosol distributions in the VLT SINFONI observations that cover the entire H-band window and used these quantities to constrain the models of the high-resolution Keck NIRSPAO spectra when retrieving the methane abundances. Cassini VIMS images of the polar regions, acquired on 20 July 2014 UT, are used to validate the assumption that the opacity of tropospheric aerosol is relatively uniform below 10 km. We retrieved methane abundances at latitudes between 42$^{\circ}$ S and 80$^{\circ}$ N. The tropospheric methane in the Southern mid-latitudes was enhanced by a factor of $\sim$10--40% over the nominal profile that was measured using the GCMS on Huygens. The Northern hemisphere had $\sim$90% of the nominal methane abundance up to polar latitudes (80$^{\circ}$N). These measurements suggest that a source of saturated polar air is equilibrating with dryer conditions at lower latitudes.
