description: An atom-waveguide system, which presents one of the quantum interfaces that enable strong couplings between light and atoms, can support tightly-confined guided modes of light. In this distinctive quantum interface, we theoretically investigate the crossover from a delocalized to localized atomic excitation under long-range dipole-dipole interactions and lattice disorders. Both localization lengths of the excitation distributions and power-law scalings of dissipative von Neumann entanglement entropy show signatures of this crossover. We further calculate numerically the level statistics of the underlying non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, from which as the disorder strength increases, the gap ratio decreases and the intrasample variance increases before reaching respective saturated values. The mean gap ratio in the deeply localized regime is close to the one from Poisson statistics along with a relatively large intrasample variance, whereas in the nondisordered regime, a significant level repulsion emerges. Our results provide insights to study the non-ergodic phenomenon in an atom-waveguide interface, which can be potentially applied to photon storage in this interface under dissipations.

Ariake no wakare : genre, gender, and genealogy in a late 12th century monogatari
Creators: name: Khan, Robert Omar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ariake no Wakare was thought to be a lost tale, but its unique manuscript was rediscovered in the early 1950s. Thirteenth-century references and internal evidence suggest a date of composition in the 1190s by an author in Teika's circle, and attest to Ariake's prominence in the thirteenth-century prose fiction canon. Thematically, it is virtually a 'summa' of previous monogatari themes woven together with remarkable dexterity and often startling originality. The term giko monogatari, 'pseudo-classical tales,' widely used to describe such late Heian and Kamakura period tales, and the associated style term gikobun, turn out to be Meiji era coinages with originally much wider and less pejorative connotations - a change perhaps related to contemporary language debates that valorized vernacular writing styles. The use of respect language and narrative asides, and the interaction between the narration and the plot, evokes a narrator with a distinct point of view, and suggest she may be the lady-in-waiting Jiju, making the text more explicitly autobiographical, and perhaps accounting for aspects of the narrative structure. Statistical information about Ariake, and analysis of respect language and certain fields of the lexicon reveal that Ariake is linguistically much closer to the Genji than are the few other giko monogatari for which information is available, but there are also a few very marked differences. Similar analysis of other giko monogatari would clarify whether these differences are characteristic of the subgenre or peculiar to Ariake no Wakare. Ariake no Wakare critiques male behaviour in courtship and marriage, and explores female-to-male crossdressing; the male gaze (kaimami); incestuous sexual abuse; both male and female same-sex and same-gender love; spirit possession in a context of marriage, pregnancy, and rival female desires, and other instances of the conspicuously gendered supernatural; and the gendered significance of genealogy. The treatment of gender roles and sexuality focuses on the interaction of performance skill and innate ability or inclination, and presents the mysterious beauty of the ambiguously gendered and liminally human, while genealogy is celebrated as privileged female knowledge. The text simultaneously invites and resists modern modes of reading. Rather than merely imitative, Ariake's treatment of familiar elements with changed contexts and interpretations produces both nostalgia and novelty.
Exact probability function for bulk density and current in the asymmetric exclusion process

description: We examine the asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries, a paradigm of driven diffusive systems, having a nonequilibrium steady state transition. We provide a full derivation and expanded discussion and digression on results previously reported briefly in M. Depken and R. Stinchcombe, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 93}, 040602, (2004). In particular we derive an exact form for the joint probability function for the bulk density and current, both for finite systems, and also in the thermodynamic limit. The resulting distribution is non-Gaussian, and while the fluctuations in the current are continuous at the continuous phase transitions, the density fluctuations are discontinuous. The derivations are done by using the standard operator algebraic techniques, and by introducing a modified version of the original operator algebra. As a byproduct of these considerations we also arrive at a novel and very simple way of calculating the normalization constant appearing in the standard treatment with the operator algebra. Like the partition function in equilibrium systems, this normalization constant is shown to completely characterize the fluctuations, albeit in a very different manner.

description: Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used tool for characterization of fuel cells and other electrochemical conversion systems. When applied to the on-line monitoring in the context of in-field applications, the disturbances, drifts and sensor noise may cause severe distortions in the evaluated spectra, especially in the low-frequency part. Failure to ignore the random effects can result in misinterpreted spectra and, consequently, in misleading diagnostic reasoning. This fact has not been often addressed in the research so far. In this paper, we propose an approach to the quantification of the spectral uncertainty, which relies on evaluating the uncertainty of the equivalent circuit model (ECM). We apply the computationally efficient variational Bayes (VB) method and compare the quality of the results with those obtained with the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Namely, MCMC algorithm returns accurate distributions of the estimated model parameters, while VB approach provides the approximate distributions. By using simulated and real data we show that approximate results provided by VB approach, although slightly over-optimistic, are still close to the more realistic MCMC estimates. A great advantage of the VB method for online monitoring is low computational load, which is several orders of magnitude lower compared to MCMC. The performance of VB algorithm is demonstrated on a case of ECM parameters estimation in a 6 cell solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack. The complete numerical implementation for recreating the results can be found at https://repo.ijs.si/lznidaric/variational-bayes-supplementary-material.

description: The mutual drag in strongly interacting two-component superfluids in optical lattices is discussed. Two competing drag mechanisms are the vacancy-assisted motion and proximity to the quasi-molecular state, in which an integer number $q$ of atoms (or holes) of one component might be bound to one atom (or hole) of the other component. Then the lowest energy topological excitation (vortex or persistent current) becomes a composite object consisting of $q$ circulation quanta of one component and one circulation of the other. In the SQUID-type geometry, the value of $q$ can become fractional. These topological complexes can be detected by absorptive imaging. We present both the mean field and Monte Carlo results. The drag effects in optical lattices are drastically different from the Galilean invariant Andreev-Bashkin effect in liquid helium.

description: An example shows that weak decoherence is more restrictive than the minimal logical decoherence structure that allows probabilities to be used consistently for quantum histories. The probabilities in the sum rules that define minimal decoherence are all calculated by using a projection operator to describe each possibility for the state at each time. Weak decoherence requires more sum rules. They bring in additional variables, that require different measurements and a different way to calculate probabilities, and raise questions of operational meaning. The example shows that extending the linearly positive probability formula from weak to minimal decoherence gives probabilities that are different from those calculated in the usual way using the Born and von Neumann rules and a projection operator at each time.

Multiplicity and Pseudorapidity Distributions of Photons in Au + Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV

description: We present the first measurement of multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of photons in the pseudorapidity region 2.3 $\le$ $η$ $\le$ 3.7 for different centralities in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV. We find that the photon yield in this pseudorapidity range scales with the number of participating nucleons at all collision centralities studied. The pseudorapidity distribution of photons, dominated by neutral pion decays, has been compared to those of identified charged pions, photons, and inclusive charged particles from heavy ion and nucleon-nucleon collisions at various energies. The photon production in the measured pseudorapidity region has been shown to be consistent with the energy and centrality independent limiting fragmentation scenario.

title: Mechanisms of natural killer cell activation by Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes and influenza vaccine
Creators: name: Sherratt, SR
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2019

description: Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune effector cells capable of responding to infected cells through cytotoxic activity and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In recent years there has been increasing interest in studying how vaccine- or pathogen-induced antibodies promote NK cell responses to pathogens through the immunoglobulin G receptor CD16. The initial work described in this thesis uses imaging flow cytometry to examine the ability of human NK cells to interact with erythrocytes parasitised with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (PRBCs). Although several limitations of this technology became apparent, I was able to establish that conjugates between NK cells and PRBCs form within 30 minutes of co-incubation and persist for up to 3 hours. PRBCs were observed forming conjugates with both CD56bright and CD56dimCD57+ NK cells. The role of antibody in promoting NK cell responses via CD16 was then assessed in two models. Firstly, an in vitro model using NK cells and plasma from individuals vaccinated with trivalent influenza vaccine was used to establish assay conditions and to investigate the mechanisms by which CD16 is downregulated after antibody-dependent activation. In this model, I have shown that influenza antigen-antibody complexes are able to induce downregulation of CD16 on NK cells, resulting in degranulation. These antibody dependent functions are more potent in highly differentiated CD56dimCD57+ NK cells. Using imaging flow cytometry, I have also shown that downregulation of CD16 after ligation is due to shedding of the molecule from the surface of the NK cell, rather than through a process of internalisation. Secondly, I established an in vitro system to investigate the impact of antibody on NK cell responses to PRBCs in Gambian and UK resident individuals. This study also assessed the contributions of different NK cell differentiation subsets to these responses. I have shown that NK cells are able to mount a robust antibody-dependent response to PRBCs, involving production of IFN-γ and degranulation. I have also shown that NK cells vary in their responsiveness to antibody stimulation, with ‘adaptive’ FcεRIγ- and ‘differentiated’ CD57+ NK cells demonstrating enhanced responses to anti-malarial antibodies. Finally, I have shown that the cytokines interleukin 12 and interleukin 18 contribute to the anti-malarial antibody-dependent response in certain NK cell subsets, as does ligation of CD2 on the NK cell.

description: By combining two independent approaches, inelastic neutron scattering measurements and density functional theory calculations, we study the spin-waves in the high-temperature collinear antiferromagnetic phase (AFM2) of Mn$_5$Si$_3$. We obtain its magnetic ground-state properties and electronic structure. This study allowed us to determine the dominant magnetic exchange interactions and magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the AFM2 phase of Mn$_5$Si$_3$. Moreover, the evolution of the spin excitation spectrum is investigated under the influence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the anisotropy easy-axis. The low energy magnon modes show a different magnetic field dependence which is a direct consequence of their different precessional nature. Finally, possible effects related to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction are also considered.

description: Research into nuclear fusion for military purposes has been regularly conducted since the 1940s. However, the idea of being able to use nuclear power for power generation within mere decades has not come to fruition. While some successes have been highlighted by the media, such as the experiments at the National Ignition Facility in California at the end of 2022, the main problems remain as challenging today as they were in the past. An analysis of expert opinions shows that there is still no concrete path to commercial power generation from nuclear fusion. The former flagship project, the Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a prime example of the pervasive delays: Conceived by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1985, the research of the ITER project has been repeatedly postponed since the 1990s. As of 2025, the nuclear fusion experiments are not scheduled for operation until the late 2030s. At the same time, new, privately co-financed companies are emerging that focus on specific applications of nuclear fusion, such as the development of magnetic coils and laser technology. German, European, and international research funding must adapt to these new developments and critically scrutinize the large research institutes with regard to the goal of nuclear fusion.

description: Aims: To derive observational properties and physical parameters of the progenitor stars of type IIP supernovae SN 2005ay and SN 2005cs from their U,B,V,R,I CCD photometry, and to define their velocity behaviour. Methods: Light curves are analysed, and the velocities and spectral characteristics of SN 2005cs are obtained using synthetic spectra modeling. Results: Both supernovae are found to be fainter than the average SN IIP, with SN 2005cs being more subluminous and showing slight brightening in the second half of plateau stage in the V,R,I bands and a low expansion velocity. The effects of two different plausible distance moduli on the derived physical parameters of SN 2005ay are considered. Two approaches are used to recover the amounts of the ejected 56Ni, indicating masses of the order of 0.02 Msun, although late luminosities might indicate a higher amount for SN 2005ay, especially for the large distance case. Constraints on the progenitor properties are also presented, based on empirical analytical models. Two approaches are used to estimate the expansion velocities at the middle of the plateau phase. SN 2005cs represents an example of where all 3 physical parameters, velocity, energy and 56Ni mass are lower than average, a correlation not always observed in SNe IIP. SN 2005ay may belong to the same class if the shorter distance possibility is adopted. Furthermore, the estimated mass range for SN 2005cs is in agreement with limits established by using pre-supernova imaging.

Ex vivo bone marrow purging using BPD-mediated photodynamic therapy

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using the second generation photosensitiser benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring- A (BPD, Verteporfin®) offers an attractive alternative to purging of contaminating neoplastic cells during autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Enhancement of PDT cytotoxicity was attempted using two independent approaches: combination treatment with doxorubicin (Dox) and selective protection of normal haematopoietic cells using the tetrapeptide N-AcSDKP. The murine leukaemic cell line L1210 was 45 x more susceptible to the sequenced combination regimen of 1 h 2.5 μM Dox incubation followed by PDT mediated by 5.0 ng/ml BPD and 15 J/cm² red light (Dox -> PDT) than normal murine haematopoietic cells. The significant enhancement in cytotoxicity was dependent on the concentration of BPD used as well as on the sequence of treatment. Specifically, it was observed with 5.0 ng/ml but not with 2.5 ng/ml BPD and only when Dox was used before PDT. The reverse sequence of PDT -> Dox and simultaneous Dox/PDT treatment were not associated with enhanced killing. Interestingly, L1210 cells were much more susceptible to the combination therapy than normal DBA /2 haematopoietic progenitor cells which offered interesting therapeutic implications. BPD uptake and cellular GSH content, appeared not to be responsible for the potentiation of L1210 killing in the Dox-> PDT sequence. Next, the potential of selective stem cell protection in BPD - mediated PDT was investigated. Preincubation of DBA /2 bone marrow cells with 100 nM N-AcSDKP for 1.5 h significantly protected resultant colony formation from PDT by a factor of 1.5- 2 over cells that were incubated with control peptides or with tissue culture medium. Interestingly, L1210 cells were not protected by N-AcSDKP and the control peptides. However, N-AcSDKP mediated photoprotection did not appear to extend to earlier murine haematopoietic cells and stem cells as demonstrated by the long- term bone marrow culture (LTBMC ) assay. The same findings of differential photoprotection were also demonstrated in human haematopoietic cells. The mechanism of protection appeared to be mediated by inhibition of progression to S phase of the cell cycle since depletion of cycling DBA /2 bone marrow cells with 50 μM cytosine arabinoside (ara- C) resulted in cells more tolerant to subsequent PDT cytotoxicity. The above two approaches enhanced selective BPD- mediated PDT cytotoxicity and therefore maybe of merit in the clinical use of PDT in purging.

We extend our analysis to study the effect of tapering profiles and higher-order terms on the evolution of self-similar waves and thus enabling one to control the self-similar wave structure and dynamical behavior.

description: Small-scale density fluctuations can significantly affect reionization but are typically modelled quite crudely. Unresolved fluctuations in numerical simulations and analytical calculations are included using a gas clumping factor, typically assumed to be independent of the local environment. In Paper I, we presented an improved, local density-dependent model for the sub-grid gas clumping. Here we extend this using an empirical stochastic model based on the results from high-resolution numerical simulations which fully resolve all relevant fluctuations. Our model reproduces well both the mean density-clumping relation and its scatter. We applied our stochastic model, along with the mean clumping one and the Paper I deterministic model, to create a large-volume realisation of the clumping field, and used these in radiative transfer simulations of cosmic reionization. Our results show that the simplistic mean clumping model delays reionization compared to local density-dependent models, despite producing fewer recombinations overall. This is due to the very different spatial distribution of clumping, resulting in much higher photoionization rates in the latter cases. The mean clumping model produces smaller HII regions throughout most of the reionization, but those percolate faster at late times. It also causes a significant delay in the 21-cm fluctuations peak and yields lower non-Gaussianity and many fewer bright pixels in the PDF distribution. The stochastic density-dependent model shows relatively minor differences from the deterministic one, mostly concentrated around overlap, where it significantly suppresses the 21-cm fluctuations, and at the bright tail of the 21-cm PDFs, where it produces noticeably more bright pixels.

description: Computing distance tables is important for many logistics problems like the vehicle routing problem (VRP). While shortest distances from all source nodes in S to all target nodes in T are time-independent, travel times are not. We present the first efficient algorithms to compute time-dependent travel time tables in large time-dependent road networks. Our algorithms are based on time-dependent contraction hierarchies (TCH), currently the fastest time-dependent speed-up technique. The computation of a table is inherently in Theta(|S|*|T|), and therefore inefficient for large tables. We provide one particular algorithm using only Theta(|S|+|T|) time and space, being able to answer queries two orders of magnitude faster than the basic TCH implementation. If small errors are acceptable, approximate versions of our algorithms are further orders of magnitude faster.

description: We study the phase structure of the 3D nonlocal compact U(1) lattice gauge theory coupled with a Higgs field by means of Monte-Carlo simulations. The nonlocal interactions among gauge variables are along the temporal direction and mimic the effect of local coupling to massless particles. We found that in contrast to the 3D local abelian Higgs model which has only one phase, the present model exhibits the confinement, Higgs, and Coulomb phases separated by three second-order transition lines emanating from a triple point. This result is quite important for studies on electron fractionalization phenomena in strongly-correlated electron systems. Implications to them are discussed.

description: In this work, we report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) combined with density functional theory (DFT) studies of the transition metal dichalcogenide ZrTe$_2$. The measured NMR shift anisotropy reveals a quasi-2D behavior connected to a topological nodal line close to the Fermi level. With the magnetic field perpendicular to the ZrTe$_2$ layers, the measured shift can be well-fitted by a combination of enhanced diamagnetism and spin shift due to high mobility Dirac electrons. The spin-lattice relaxation rates with external field both parallel and perpendicular to the layers at low temperatures match the expected behavior associated with extended orbital hyperfine interaction due to quasi-2D Dirac carriers. In addition, calculated band structures also show clear evidence for the existence of nodal line in ZrTe$_2$ between $Γ$ and A. For intermediate temperatures, there is a sharp reduction in spin-lattice relaxation rate which can be explained as due to a reduced lifetime for these carriers, which matches the reported large change in mobility in the same temperature range. Above 200 K, the local orbital contribution starts to dominate in an orbital relaxation mechanism revealing the mixture of atomic functions.

description: This report presents information about how tools produced in the context of WP9 (Data Communities) have been received in their intended user communities. This emphasis on usability and usefulness is applied to, respectively to the following tools: The Ethnic Minorities and Migration (EMM) Survey Registry, that has been developed in Task 9.2 (Ethnic and Migration Studies) The pilot Knowledge Graph (KG) for Electoral Studies that has been developed in Task 9.3 (Data Community Project: Electoral Studies & EURHISFIRM) The pilot RESTORE platform for integrating data of different kinds in Heritage Science, that has been developed in Task 9.4 (Heritage Science and Humanities). These three tools are in different stages of development and roll-out to their respective user communities. Furthest developed is the EMM Survey Registry. It exists in a well-developed beta version that has evolved with extensive input from potential users. It attracts hundreds of unique users per months which attests in and of itself to its usability, as well as to the clear need in the community of EMM researchers for a tool of this kind. While the tool will be improved further, it is evident that it can be considered as an unmitigated success already in its current version.
 The other two tools --the pilot Knowledge Graph (KG) in Electoral Studies and the RESTORE data pilot for Heritage Science-- have each reached an alpha-version stage by November 2021, and both will be developed further in the months to come. The KG has been subjected to an internal functionality test by a small group of experts from the field, and subsequently has been evaluated more extensively by a more ‘typical’ group of end-users from its intended audience. This resulted in two clear outcomes: (1) there is strong enthusiasm about the potential of the KG and the current implementation, as reflected in a usability score just shy of ‘good’, and high perceived usefulness for researchers at different stages of their career; and (2) a number of weaknesses were flagged up that need to be addressed before the KG can claim to have reached beta-version status.
 The RESTORE data pilot has been developed with strong input from experts from the various domains addressed by it and is main aspects have been validated successfully by these experts. The next stage will consist of a focus-group try-out with a more ‘typical’ group of end-users, to be conducted in the coming months. The continued intensive involvement of domain experts testifies to their positive perception of the usefulness of the RESTORE platform for their own work as well as for wider audiences of end-users.
 At their current stages of development, it is already clear that each of these products represents a support for research in their respective domains that goes beyond what is currently available and that caters to actual needs of their respective data/user communities.

description: Based on a symmetry argument, we investigate the ground-state properties of newly synthesized metal-halide ladder compounds (C_8_H_6_N_4_)[Pt(C_2_H_8_N_2_)X]_2_(ClO_4_)_4_ 2H_2_O (X=Cl, Br, I). Employing a fully dressed two-band Peierls-Hubbard model, we systematically reveal possible charge- or spin-ordered states. Numerical phase diagrams demonstrate a variety of competing Peierls and Mott insulators with particular emphasis on the transition between two types of mixed-valent state of Pt^II^ and Pt^IV^ driven by varying interchain hopping integrals and Coulomb interactions.

Solvable model of a generic driven mixture of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates and properties of a many-boson Floquet state at the limit of an infinite number of particles

description: A solvable model of a periodically-driven trapped mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates, consisting of $N_1$ interacting bosons of mass $m_1$ driven by a force of amplitude $f_{L,1}$ and $N_2$ interacting bosons of mass $m_2$ driven by a force of amplitude $f_{L,2}$, is presented. The model generalizes the harmonic-interaction model for mixtures to the time-dependent domain. The resulting many-particle ground Floquet wavefunction and quasienergy, as well as the time-dependent densities and reduced density matrices, are prescribed explicitly and analyzed at the many-body and mean-field levels of theory for finite systems and at the limit of an infinite number of particles. We prove that the time-dependent densities per particle are given at the limit of an infinite number of particles by their respective mean-field quantities, and that the time-dependent reduced one-particle and two-particle density matrices per particle of the driven mixture are $100\%$ condensed. Interestingly, the quasienergy per particle {\it does not} coincide with the mean-field value at this limit, unless the relative center-of-mass coordinate of the two Bose-Einstein condensates is not activated by the driving forces $f_{L,1}$ and $f_{L,2}$. As an application, we investigate the imprinting of angular momentum and its fluctuations when steering a Bose-Einstein condensate by an interacting bosonic impurity, and the resulting modes of rotations. Whereas the expectation values per particle of the angular-momentum operator for the many-body and mean-field solutions coincide at the limit of an infinite number of particles, the respective fluctuations can differ substantially. The results are analyzed in terms of the transformation properties of the angular-momentum operator under translations and boosts and the interactions between the particles. Implications are briefly discussed.

description: The true nature of the progenitor to GRBs remains elusive; one characteristic that would constrain our understanding of the GRB mechanism considerably is gamma-ray polarimetry measurements of the initial burst flux. We present a method that interprets the prompt GRB flux as it Compton scatters off the Earth's atmosphere, based on detailed modelling of both the Earth's atmosphere and the orbiting detectors. The BATSE mission aboard the \textit{CGRO} monitored the whole sky in the 20 keV - 1 MeV energy band continuously from April 1991 until June 2000. We present the BATSE Albedo Polarimetry System (BAPS), and show that GRB 930131 and GRB 960924 provide evidence of polarisation in their prompt flux that is consistent with degrees of polarisation of $Π>35$% and $Π>50$% respectively. While the evidence of polarisation is strong, the method is unable to strongly constrain the degree of polarisation beyond a systematics based estimation. Hence the implications on GRB theory are unclear, and further measurements essential.

Long-Term Evaluation of the Acoustic Emission Weld Monitor

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The Kentucky Transportation Research Program conducted an extended 10- month evaluation of the Acoustic Emission Weld Monitor (AEWM) in a bridge fabrication shop. That device was used to detect welding flaws during typical production of butt-welds on flanges and webs used in steel bridges. A total of 153 welds were monitored.  AEWM test results were compared with visual inspection and double- blind results of conventional nondestructive testing routinely conducted on the welds. The AEWM did not miss any flaws detected visually or by nondestructive testing. Three AEWM flaw indications were confirmed by conventional nondestructive testing (radiography).  A large number of AEWM indications were not related to any detected flaws (228 of 263 indications). Those were attributed to AE noise that occurs away from the weld and small flaws that were either missed or overlooked by visual and nondestructive inspection or were removed prior to inspection by normal fabrication procedures.  The AEWM has shown the sensitivity to detect AWS code-rejectable defects. In part, the high number of overcalls was caused by use of excessive system sensitivity. Due to the success of the unit in detecting flaws, further development is warranted. Specific recommendations for further research are provided.
