description: The caudate nucleus (CN) is a crucial component of the ventral striatum, which is part of a prefrontal-striatal-thalamic circuit that is modulated by limbic structures to subserve emotional processing. Bipolar disorder is thought to be underpinned by dysfunctional anterior limbic networks, although MRI studies examining the CN have shown equivocal results. As gross volumetric analyses may not detect subtle regional change, we aimed to clarify the role of the CN in bipolar disorder by undertaking shape analysis to detect regional reductions.
FEM simulation of thixo-viscoplastic flow problems: error analysis

description: This note is concerned with the essential part of Finite Element Methods (FEM) approximation of error analysis for quasi-Newtonian modelling of thixo-viscoplastic (TVP) flow problems. The developed FEM settings for thixotropic generalized Navier-Stokes equations is based on a constrained monotonicity and continuity for the coupled system, which is a cornerstone for an efficient monolithic Newton-multigrid solver. The manifested coarseness in the energy inequality by means of proportional dependency of its constants on regularization, nonoptimal estimate for microstructure, and extra regularity requirement for velocity, is due to the weak coercivity of microstructure operator on one hand and the modelling approach on the other hand, which we dealt with stabilized higher order FEM. Furthermore, we show the importance of taking into consideration the thixotropy inhabited in material by presenting the numerical solutions of TVP flow problems in a 4:1 contraction configuration.

description: The quantum excitations of macroscopic surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been tailored to control, communicate and transduce stationary and flying quantum states. However, the limited lifetime of this hybrid quantum systems remains critical obstacles to extend their applications in quantum information processing. Here we present the potentials of thin film aluminum nitride to on-chip integrate phonons with superconducting qubits over previous bulk piezoelectric substrates. We have reported high-quality thin film GHz-SAW resonators with the highest internal quality factor Qi of 5 e4 at the single-phonon level. The internal loss of SAW resonators are systematically investigated with tuning the parameters of sample layout, power and temperature. Our results manifest that SAWs on piezoelectric films are readily integrable with standard fabrication of Josephson junction quantum circuits, and offer excellent acoustic platforms for the high-coherence quantum acoustodynamics architectures.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We show that dynamic exchange is a dominant effect in strong field ionization of molecules. In $CO_2$ it fixes the peak ionization yield at the experimentally observed angle of $45^\circ$ between polarization direction and the molecular axis. In $N_2$ it changes the alignment dependence of yields by up to a factor of 2. The effect appears on the Hartree-Fock level as well as in full {\it ab initio} solutions of the Schrödinger equation.

description: Inconsistencies have been found in the relationship between ambient lighting conditions and frequency-dependence in transcranial electric stimulation (tES) induced phosphenes. Using a within-subjects design across lighting condition (dark, mesopic [dim], photopic [bright]) and tES stimulation frequency (10, 13, 16, 18, 20 Hz), this study determined phosphene detection thresholds in 24 subjects receiving tES using an FPz-Cz montage. Minima phosphene thresholds were found at 16 Hz in mesopic, 10 Hz in dark and 20 Hz in photopic lighting conditions, with these thresholds being substantially lower for mesopic than both dark (60% reduction) and photopic (56% reduction), conditions. Further, whereas the phosphene threshold-stimulation frequency relation increased with frequency in the dark and decreased with frequency in the photopic conditions, in the mesopic condition it followed the dark condition relation from 10 to 16 Hz, and photopic condition relation from 16 to 20 Hz. The results clearly demonstrate that ambient lighting is an important factor in the detection of tES-induced phosphenes, and that mesopic conditions are most suitable for obtaining overall phosphene thresholds.

description: We present a validation of a three-dimensional, two-fluid simulation of plasma turbulence in the TJ-K stellarator, a low temperature plasma experiment ideally suited for turbulence measurements. The simulation is carried out by the GBS code, recently adapted to simulate 3D magnetic fields. The comparison shows that GBS retrieves the main turbulence properties observed in the device, namely the fact that transport is dominated by fluctuations with low poloidal mode number. The poloidal dependence of the radial $\text{E}\times\text{B}$ turbulent flux is compared on a poloidal plane with elliptical flux surfaces, where a very good agreement between experiment and simulation is observed, and on another with triangular flux surfaces, which shows a poorer comparison. The fluctuation levels in both cases are underestimated in the simulations. The equilibrium density profile is well retrieved by the simulation, while the electron temperature and the electrostatic potential profiles, which are very sensitive to the strength and localization of the sources, do not agree well with the experimental measurements.
Perceptions of Mentorship Among Beginning Teachers and Educational Leaders: Aligned or Divided? A Synthesis and Overview
Creators: Taryn Banach
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

A large body of literature suggests mentorship can play a significant role in the successful induction process of beginning teachers. With high attrition rates in the teaching profession, ensuring effective supports are in place to support new teachers is imperative to the continuity of education. There are several varieties of mentorship frameworks and Hellsten et al. (2009) describe three common pairings forming the basis of their conceptual framework: assigned vs. unassigned mentors, engaged vs. disengaged mentors, and single vs. multiple mentors. These pairings form the foundation for this qualitative study, with the goal to determine whether perceptions of mentorship among beginning teachers and educational leaders are aligned or

divided. Drawing on phenomenological and grounded theory methods, a purposeful sample of beginning teachers and educational leaders was selected to share their perceptions of mentorship. Three beginning teachers, and two educational leaders were interviewed and the data was

transcribed, analyzed, and coded to identify common themes found in the responses. Four key emerging themes were synthesized from the data: theory to practice gap, enhanced efficacy, building trust, and the challenge of time. Alignment was found, to varying degrees, among beginning teachers and educational leaders for each of these themes. Recommendations for practice are suggested, focusing primarily on enhancing relationships and consistency of mentoring frameworks. The paper concludes with a personal reflection looking at first-hand experiences highlighting the implications consistent and collaborative mentorship can have on beginning teachers and entire school cultures.

description: Circumscribed interests (CI) are important and understudied symptoms that affect individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present study sought to develop quantitative measures of the content, intensity and functional impairment of CI in 50 children with high-functioning ASD compared to an age-, IQ-, and gender-matched sample of 50 typically developing (TD) peers. The Interests Scale, a parent-rating questionnaire, and the Interview for Repetitive Behaviors, a semi-structured interview, were used to assess CI. Groups did not differ on the number of interests children held, but they did differ on types of interests and impairment associated with them. The interests of ASD participants were more likely to be nonsocial in nature (e.g. mechanical systems) than TD participants. Parents of children with ASD endorsed higher degrees of functional impairment on metrics including frequency, interference, resistance when interrupted, flexibility, and accommodation required, as well as less involvement of other people, than parents of children with TD. These findings suggest that interests of individuals with ASD differ qualitatively and in intensity from individuals with TD. The present study offers further support for the notion that CI reflect a clinically significant feature of ASD that warrants intervention in some children.

Probing the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect using embedded lens models

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The photometry profile of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect recently obtained by the Planck consortium by stacking patches of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) sky maps around a large number of cosmic voids, contains a cold ring at about half the void's effective radius surrounded by a hot ring near the void's boundary. The source of the temperature structure is assumed to be the ISW effect but the exact cause of the ringed structure is not currently well understood, particularly the outer hot ring. Numerical simulations have suggested that hot/cold ring structures can be produced by motions associated with nonlinear growths of cosmic structures whose gravitational potentials produce the ISW effect. We have recently developed the embedded lens theory and the Fermat potential formalism which can be used to model the ISW effect caused by intervening individual lens inhomogeneities evolving arbitrarily. This theory only requires knowledge of the void's projected mass profile as a function of the passing CMB photons' impact radius and the rate of change of that mass distribution at passage. We present two simple embedded void lens models with evolving mass densities and investigate the ISW effect caused by these lenses. Both models posses expanding mass shells which produce hot rings around central cold regions, consistent with the recent observations. By adding a small over-density at the void's center we can produce the slight positive temperature excess hinted at in Planck's photometric results. We conclude that the embedded lens theory and the Fermat potential formalism is well suited for modeling the ISW effect.

description: There is a lack of evidence-based behavioral therapies or pharmacotherapies to treat repetitive behaviors found in autism. Effective behavioral therapies are needed to counter any negative consequences these behaviors may have on the child’s early learning and socialization. The purpose of this proof-of-principle study was to test the feasibility of modifying exposure response prevention, an evidence-based strategy for obsessive–compulsive disorder, to treat the repetitive behaviors found in autism. Five school-aged participants (ages 5–11) diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder participated in the study. Our preliminary findings suggest it is feasible, and potentially efficacious, to modify standard exposure response prevention to treat the specific forms of repetitive behaviors found in individuals with autism and comorbid intellectual disabilities. A larger clinical trial is needed to substantiate these preliminary findings.

description: SuperKamiokande experiment tightly bounds the lifetimes of the baryon number violating proton decays. The decay widths for the nucleon to an antilepton and a photon are not so well bounded experimentally as $\ell π$ modes. Using an effective Lagrangian approach, we relate the decay widths of $N\to \ell γ$ to the decay widths of $N\to \ell π$. Our result points out factor $10^{3}$ suppression of the decay widths $Γ(p \to \ell^{+} γ)$ and $Γ(n \to \bar νγ)$ compared to the decay widths $Γ(p \to \ell^{+} π^{0})$ and $Γ(n \to \bar νπ^{0})$, respectively. This result is independent of the model of new physics. Then, we investigate the dynamics of $N\to \ell π$ and $N\to \ell γ$ amplitudes at the tree and loop level in which scalar leptoquarks are mediators of a new interaction. At the tree level, leptoquarks probe the physics beyond the Standard Model at a scale of $10^{16}$ GeV, while at the loop level, such decay can occur at a scale of $10^{7}$ GeV.

description: Alternatives to pesticides to control the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea, are being developed. Natural enemies usually arrive too late after the first aphid infestation to provide effective control. This study tested the effects of mass release of two parasitoid species, Aphidius matricariae and Ephedrus cerasicola, on the numbers of aphid colonies and aphids per tree. In a trial undertaken in two years in an organic apple orchard, parasitoids were released three times early in the season to match the presence of aphid fundatrix (sensitive stages), on a weekly or bi-weekly frequency. The degree-days necessary for parasitoid emergence in the field after release were calculated. A sufficient level of aphid control by parasitoids was reached during the first month of the survey (March), but for both release treatments the control mostly failed during the second part of the monitoring session (April to late May) compared with the control treatment with neem oil. The relative effects of release frequencies were different between the two years, probably because of interannual differences in aphid population dynamics and initial infestation in orchards. The field survey suggested that parasitoid releases, at either frequency, were promising candidates for biological control of the rosy aphid, although the method still needs further calibration. This case study laid the first empirical basis to help develop future control methods of aphids by parasitoid releases in apple orchards. Releases should be done one to two weeks before first aphid detection to account for long development times of parasitoids at relatively low temperatures.

We find numerically that the root-mean-square displacement for the time interval increases with a power law for small time but saturates at sufficiently large time. The exponent changes with the power exponent of the memory kernel.

description: In this paper we propose a supervised object recognition method using new global features and inspired by the model of the human primary visual cortex V1 as the semidiscrete roto-translation group $SE(2,N) = \mathbb Z_N\rtimes \mathbb R^2$. The proposed technique is based on generalized Fourier descriptors on the latter group, which are invariant to natural geometric transformations (rotations, translations). These descriptors are then used to feed an SVM classifier. We have tested our method against the COIL-100 image database and the ORL face database, and compared it with other techniques based on traditional descriptors, global and local. The obtained results have shown that our approach looks extremely efficient and stable to noise, in presence of which it outperforms the other techniques analyzed in the paper.

description: Background: 'Capnocytophaga canimorsus', a Gram-negative rod, belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family and colonizes the oropharynx of dogs and cats. Infections with 'C. canimorsus' are rare and can induce a systemic infection with a severe course of the disease. So far, only five case reports of 'C. canimorsus' infections associated with Waterhouse–Friderichsen Syndrome (WFS) have been reported with only two of the patients having a history of splenectomy. Case presentation: Here, we report a fatal case of WFS due to 'C. canimorsus' bacteremia and mycetal superinfection in a 61-year-old female asplenic patient. Despite extensive therapy including mechanical ventilation, antibiotic coverage with meropenem, systemic corticosteroids medication, vasopressor therapy, continuous renal replacement therapy, therapeutic plasma exchange, multiple transfusions of blood products and implantation of a veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation the patient died 10 days after a dog bite. The autopsy showed bilateral hemorrhagic necrosis of the adrenal cortex and septic embolism to heart, kidneys, and liver. Diagnosis of 'C. canimorsus' was prolonged due to the fastidious growth of the bacteria. Conclusions: The occurrence of a severe sepsis after dog bite should always urge the attending physician to consider 'C. canimorsus' as the disease-causing pathogen. A therapeutic regimen covering 'C. canimorsus' such as aminopenicillins or carbapenems should be chosen. However, despite maximum therapy, the prognosis of 'C. canimorsus-induced' septic shock remains very poor. Asplenic or otherwise immunocompromised patients are at higher risk for a severe course of disease and should avoid exposure to dogs and cats and consider antibiotic prophylaxis after animal bite.

description: MALTA is part of the Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel sensors designed in Tower 180nm CMOS imaging technology. A custom telescope with six MALTA planes has been developed for test beam campaigns at SPS, CERN, with the ability to host several devices under test. The telescope system has a dedicated custom readout, online monitoring integrated into DAQ with realtime hit map, time distribution and event hit multiplicity. It hosts a dedicated fully configurable trigger system enabling to trigger on coincidence between telescope planes and timing reference from a scintillator. The excellent time resolution performance allows for fast track reconstruction, due to the possibility to retain a low hit multiplicity per event which reduces the combinatorics. This paper reviews the architecture of the system and its performance during the 2021 and 2022 test beam campaign at the SPS North Area.

description: The First Year Inventory (FYI) is a parent-report measure designed to identify 12-month old infants at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The FYI taps behaviors that indicate risk in the developmental domains of sensory-regulatory and social-communication functioning. This longitudinal study is a follow-up of 699 children at 3 years of age from a community sample whose parents completed the FYI when their children were 12 months old. Parents of all 699 children completed the Social Responsiveness Scale – Preschool version (SRS-P) and the Developmental Concerns Questionnaire (DCQ) to determine age 3 developmental outcomes. In addition, children deemed at-risk for ASD based on liberal cut points on the FYI, SRS-P, and/or DCQ were invited for in-person diagnostic evaluations. We found 9 children who had a confirmed diagnosis of ASD from the sample of 699. ROC analyses determined that a two-domain cutoff score yielded optimal classification of children: 31% of those meeting algorithm cut-offs had ASD and 85% had a developmental disability or concern by age three. These results suggest that the FYI is a promising tool for identifying 12-month old infants who are at risk for an eventual diagnosis of ASD.

A total of 136 primary caregivers of infants between 12 to 40 months of age (M= 26.34, SD = 7.55) were evaluated. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, a reading comprehension test, a literacy practices and beliefs survey and the CDI (McArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventory) part II (words and sentences). In addition, children’s daycare attendance was considered. After controlling for age, gender, parent’s education level and daycare attendance, positive attitudes towards literacy and frequency of PC use contributed to CDI vocabulary scores, while shared reading frequency was associated with CDI syntax scores. These results indicate that both parent-child shared reading and PC use provide a context for verbal interaction and joint attention that stimulates language development. Prior State of Knowledge: There are contradictory results about the relations between home literacy, screen media exposure and language development during the first years of life. Also, most of this research has been conducted in WEIRD countries. Novel Contributions: Parents attitudes about reading and shared reading were more important in explaining language development than books quantity, caregiver’s reading comprehension and self-reading practices. Regarding screen exposure, only frequency of PC use was a significant predictor of children’s vocabulary scores. Practical Implications: The positive associations of literacy beliefs, practices and screen times with vocabulary might indicate that both shared reading and screen coviewing provide a context for parent-child joint attention and verbal interaction that promotes word learning.

description: Shift-and-add is an approach employed to mitigate the phenomenon of resolution degradation in images acquired through a turbulent medium. Using this technique, a large number of consecutive short exposures is registered below the coherence time of the atmosphere or other blurring medium. The acquired images are shifted to the position of the brightest speckle and stacked together to obtain high-resolution and high signal-to-noise frame. In this paper we present a highly efficient method for determination of frames shifts, even if in a single frame the object cannot be distinguished from the background noise. The technique utilizes our custom genetic algorithm, which iteratively evolves a set of image shifts. We used the maximal energy of stacked images as an objective function for shifts estimation and validate the efficiency of the method on simulated and real images of simple and complex sources. Obtained results confirmed, that our proposed method allows for the recovery of spatial distribution of objects even only 2% brighter than their background. The presented approach extends significantly current limits of image reconstruction with the use of shift-and-add method. The applications of our algorithm include both the optical and the infrared imaging. Our method may be also employed as a digital image stabilizer in extremely low light level conditions in professional and consumer applications.

description: Demographic and clinical factors may influence assessment of autism symptoms. This study evaluated these correlates and also examined whether social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior provided unique prediction of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. We analyzed data from 7352 siblings included in the Interactive Autism Network registry. Social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior symptoms were obtained using caregiver-reports on the Social Responsiveness Scale. Demographic and clinical correlates were covariates in regression models predicting social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior symptoms. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses evaluated the incremental validity of social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior domains over and above global autism symptoms. Autism spectrum disorder diagnosis was the strongest correlate of caregiver-reported social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior symptoms. The presence of comorbid diagnoses also increased symptom levels. Social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior symptoms provided significant, but modest, incremental validity in predicting diagnosis beyond global autism symptoms. These findings suggest that autism spectrum disorder diagnosis is by far the largest determinant of quantitatively measured autism symptoms. Externalizing (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and internalizing (anxiety) behavior, low cognitive ability, and demographic factors may confound caregiver-report of autism symptoms, potentially necessitating a continuous norming approach to the revision of symptom measures. Social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior symptoms may provide incremental validity in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.

Direct generation of a Majorana mass for the Neutron from Exotic Instantons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss a new mechanism in which non-perturbative quantum gravity effects directly generate a Majorana mass for the neutron. In particular, in string theory, exotic instantons can generate an effective six quark operator by calculable mixed disk amplitudes. In a low string scale scenario, with $M_{S}\simeq 10÷10^{5}\, \rm TeV$, a neutron-antineutron oscillation can be reached in the next generation of experiments. we argue that protons and neutralinos are not destabilized and that dangerous FCNCs are not generated. We show an example of quiver theories, locally free by tadpoles and anomalies, reproducing MSSM plus a Majorana neutron and a Majorana neutrino. These models naturally provide a viable baryogenesis mechanism by resonant RH neutrino decays, as well as a stable WIMP-like dark matter. We also discuss how LHC data will provide useful inputs for our model, in the immediate future, testing several different regions of the parameter space. Such a mechanism represents a simple and calculable counter-example to the Wilsonian UV completion of effective non-renormalizable operators.

description: While there is a strong sex bias in the presentation of autism, it is unknown whether this bias is also present in subclinical manifestations of autism among relatives, or the broad autism phenotype (BAP). This study examined this question, and investigated patterns of co-occurrence of BAP traits within families of individuals with autism. Pragmatic language and personality features of the BAP were studied in 42 fathers and 50 mothers of individuals with autism using direct assessment tools used in prior family studies of the BAP. Higher rates of aloof personality style were detected among fathers, while no sex differences were detected for other BAP traits. Within individuals, pragmatic language features were associated with the social personality styles of the BAP in mothers but not fathers. A number of BAP features were correlated within spousal pairs. Finally, associations were detected between paternal BAP characteristics and the severity of children’s autism symptoms in all three domains (social, communication, and repetitive behaviors). Mother-child correlations were detected for aspects of communication only. Together, findings suggest that most features of the BAP express comparably in males and females, and raise some specific questions about how such features might inform studies of the genetic basis of autism.

description: FUor outbursts in young stellar objects (YSOs) are the most dramatic events among episodic accretion phenomena. The origin of these bursts is not clear: disk instabilities and/or disk perturbations by an external body being the most viable hypotheses. Here, we report our VLT/SINFONI high angular resolution AO-assisted observations of 2MASS J06593158-0405277, which is undergoing a recently discovered FUor outburst. Our observations reveal the presence of an extended disc-like structure around the FUor, a very low-mass companion (2MASS J06593158-0405277B) at ~100 au in projection, and, possibly, a third closer companion at ~11 au. These sources appear to be young, displaying accretion signatures. Assuming the components are physically linked, 2MASS J06593158-0405277 would then be one of the very few triple systems observed in FUors.
