Varying Cu-Ti hybridization near the Fermi energy in Cu$_{x}$TiSe$_{2}$: Results from supercell calculations

description: The properties of Cu$_{x}$TiSe$_{2}$ are studied by band structure calculation based on the density functional theory for supercells. The density-of-states (DOS) for $x$=0 has a sharply raising shoulder in the neighborhood of the Fermi energy, $E_F$, which can be favorable for spacial charge modulations. The Cu impurity adds electrons and brings the DOS shoulder below $E_F$. Hybridization makes the Ti-d DOS at $E_F$, the electron-phonon coupling and the Stoner factor very large. Strong pressure dependent properties are predicted from the calculations, since the DOS shoulder is pushed to higher energy at a reduced lattice constant. Effects of disorder are also expected to be important because of the rapidly varying DOS near $E_F$.

description: We report on the photometric, spectroscopic and polarimetric, monitoring of the optical afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 030328 detected by HETE-2. Photometry, collected at 7 different telescopes, shows that a smoothly broken powerlaw decay, with indices alpha_1 = 0.76 +/- 0.03, alpha_2 = 1.50 +/- 0.07 and a break at t_b = 0.48 +/- 0.03 days after the GRB, provides the best fit of the optical afterglow decline. This shape is interpreted as due to collimated emission, for which we determine a jet opening angle theta_{jet} of about 3.2 degrees. An achromatic bump starting around 0.2 d after the GRB is possibly marginally detected in the optical light curves. Optical spectroscopy shows the presence of two rest-frame ultraviolet metal absorption systems at z = 1.5216 +/- 0.0006 and at z = 1.295 +/- 0.001, the former likely associated with the GRB host galaxy. Analysis of the absorption lines at z = 1.5216 suggests that the host of this GRB may be a Damped Lyman-alpha Absorber. The optical V-band afterglow appears polarized, with P= (2.4 +/- 0.6) % and theta = (170 +/- 7) degrees, suggesting an asymmetric blastwave expansion. An X-ray-to-optical spectral flux distribution of the GRB 030328 afterglow was obtained at 0.78 days after the GRB and fitted using a broken powerlaw, with an optical spectral slope beta_{opt} = 0.47 +/- 0.15, and an X-ray slope beta_{X} = 1.0 +/- 0.2. The discussion of these results in the context of the "fireball model" shows that the preferred scenario for this afterglow is collimated structured jet with fixed opening angle in a homogeneous medium.

description: The mining sector is currently in the stage of adopting more automation, and with it, robotics. Autonomous bolting in underground environments remains a hot topic for the mining industry. Roof bolter operators are exposed to hazardous conditions due to their proximity to the unsupported roof, loose bolts, and heavy spinning mass. Prolonged exposure to the risk inevitably leads to accidents and injuries.

The current thesis presents the development of a robotic assembly capable of carrying out the entire sequence of roof bolting operations in full and partial autonomous sensor-driven rock bolting operations to achieve a high-impact health and safety intervention for equipment operators. The automation of a complete cycle of drill steel positioning, drilling, bolt orientation and placement, resin placement, and bolt securing is discussed using an anthropomorphic robotic arm.A human-computer interface is developed to enable the interaction of the operators with the machines. Collision detection techniques will have to be implemented to minimize the impact after an unexpected collision has occurred. A robust failure-detection protocol is developed to check the vital parameters of robot operations continuously. This unique approach to automation of small materials handling is described with lessons learned.

A user-centered GUI has been developed that allows for a human user to control and monitor the autonomous roof bolter. Preliminary tests have been conducted in a mock mine to evaluate the developed system's performance. In addition, a number of different scenarios simulating typical missions that a roof bolter needs to undertake in an underground coal mine were tested.

description: The majority of studies in the field of AI guided financial trading focus on purely applying machine learning algorithms to continuous historical price and technical analysis data. However, due to non-stationary and high volatile nature of Forex market most algorithms fail when put into real practice. We developed novel event-driven features which indicate a change of trend in direction. We then build long deep learning models to predict a retracement point providing a perfect entry point to gain maximum profit. We use a simple recurrent neural network (RNN) as our baseline model and compared with short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). Our experiment results show that the proposed event-driven feature selection together with the proposed models can form a robust prediction system which supports accurate trading strategies with minimal risk. Our best model on 15-minutes interval data for the EUR/GBP currency achieved RME 0.006x10^(-3) , RMSE 2.407x10^(-3), MAE 1.708x10^(-3), MAPE 0.194% outperforming previous studies.

description: Privacy is an important concern when building statistical models on data containing personal information. Differential privacy offers a strong definition of privacy and can be used to solve several privacy concerns (Dwork et al., 2014). Multiple solutions have been proposed for the differentially-private transformation of datasets containing sensitive information. However, such transformation algorithms offer poor utility in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks due to noise added in the process. In this paper, we address this issue by providing a utility-preserving differentially private text transformation algorithm using auto-encoders. Our algorithm transforms text to offer robustness against attacks and produces transformations with high semantic quality that perform well on downstream NLP tasks. We prove the theoretical privacy guarantee of our algorithm and assess its privacy leakage under Membership Inference Attacks(MIA) (Shokri et al., 2017) on models trained with transformed data. Our results show that the proposed model performs better against MIA attacks while offering lower to no degradation in the utility of the underlying transformation process compared to existing baselines.

description: We investigate a singly-charged quantum dot under a strong optical driving field by probing the system with a weak optical field. When the driving field is detuned from the trion transition, the probe absorption spectrum is shifted from the trion resonance as a consequence of the dynamic Stark effect. Simultaneously, a gain sideband is created, resulting from the coherent energy transfer between the optical fields through the quantum dot nonlinearity. As the pump detuning is moved from red to blue, we map out the anticrossing of these two spectral lines. The optical Bloch equations for a stationary two-level atom can be used to describe the numerous spectral features seen in this nano solid state system.

description: In applications of dynamical systems, situations can arise where it is desired to predict the onset of synchronization as it can lead to characteristic and significant changes in the system performance and behaviors, for better or worse. In experimental and real settings, the system equations are often unknown, raising the need to develop a prediction framework that is model free and fully data driven. We contemplate that this challenging problem can be addressed with machine learning. In particular, exploiting reservoir computing or echo state networks, we devise a "parameter-aware" scheme to train the neural machine using asynchronous time series, i.e., in the parameter regime prior to the onset of synchronization. A properly trained machine will possess the power to predict the synchronization transition in that, with a given amount of parameter drift, whether the system would remain asynchronous or exhibit synchronous dynamics can be accurately anticipated. We demonstrate the machine-learning based framework using representative chaotic models and small network systems that exhibit continuous (second-order) or abrupt (first-order) transitions. A remarkable feature is that, for a network system exhibiting an explosive (first-order) transition and a hysteresis loop in synchronization, the machine learning scheme is capable of accurately predicting these features, including the precise locations of the transition points associated with the forward and backward transition paths.

description: About 54% of radio galaxies at z>3 and 8% of radio galaxies at 22) radio galaxies. These Ly-alpha excess objects (LAEs) show Ly-alpha/HeII values consistent with or above standard photoionization model predictions. We show that the most successful explanation is the presence of a young stellar population which provides the extra supply of ionizing photons required to explain the Ly-alpha excess in at least the most extreme LAEs (probably in all of them). The measurement of unusually high Ly-alpha ratios in the extended gas of some high redshift radio galaxies suggests that star formation activity occurs in spatial scales of tens of kpc. We argue that, although the fraction of LAEs may be incompletely determined, both at 23, the much larger fraction of LAEs found at z>3 is a genuine redshift evolution and not due to selection effects. Therefore, our results suggest that the radio galaxy phenomenon is more often associated with a massive starburst at z>3 than at z<3.

Augmenting student and professional training with peer learning groups: results from focus group interviews
Creators: name: Chen, Jun Hong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Current implementation strategies for evidence-based psychological treatments often rely on classroom instruction for health service psychology (HSP) graduate trainees and workshop presentations for licensed professionals. These models also utilize expert trainers and in-person delivery systems to disseminate the training. Data on the limits of classroom instruction and workshop presentations for increasing clinical skill acquisition, as well as the high cost of using expert consultation and in-person trainings, suggest the need for novel delivery models of health service psychology training. The present study examined the acceptability of a novel training model in the form of peer learning communities (PLCs) within a sample of HSP trainees and licensed professionals at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) at Rutgers University. Participants (N=17) were invited to share their opinions and preferences about PLC platforms, modes of communication, and features in semi-structured focus group interviews. The results suggested HSP trainees and licensed professionals overwhelmingly desired a PLC that offers a hybrid (i.e., virtual and in-person) platform model, utilizes a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous modes of communication, and provides a multitude of features and functionality (e.g., peer consultation, resource sharing, networking). Additional unique and insightful feedback was noted and explicated. Feedback will be used to aid in the development of a pilot PLC at GSAPP.

description: To gain more information about the relationship between early cement hydration and rheological behavior of the corresponding cement paste, a new penetration test device, with the name “Multipurpose Incremental Loading device” (MILD), has been developed. The construction and the mechanical properties of the device are described in detail. Furthermore, the implementation of a measurement and first results will be discussed, and the new device is compared with the standardized Vicat test. In addition, a comparison of the measurement results with rheological investigations is made and the results of quantitative in-situ XRD and calorimetry are integrated for a deeper understanding. We show that it is possible to get more information about the structure formation with the new device than with the Vicat test. Moreover, a comparison with the rheological properties of a cement paste was done. Both methods show two periods with different rheological behavior. During the first two hours the paste shows a slow increase of viscosity which is followed by a strong increase. The results of the penetration test and the rheometer are linked with the formation of hydration products and the heat flow development. This comparison shows that the link between the two periods is the beginning of the acceleration period. Finally, it is concluded that it is possible to get precise information about the early cement hydration with a penetration test.

description: We calculate the cross section for hadroproduction of a pair of heavy quarks in a 3S1 color-singlet state at next-to-leading order in QCD. This corresponds to the leading contribution in the NRQCD expansion for J/psi and Upsilon production. The higher-order corrections have a large impact on the p_T distributions, enhancing the production at high p_T both at the Tevatron and at the LHC. The total decay rate of a 3S1 into hadrons at NLO is also computed, confirming for the first time the result obtained by Mackenzie and Lepage in 1981.

A Stationary Drake Equation Distribution as a Balance of Birth-Death Processes

description: Previous critiques of the Drake Equation have highlighted its deterministic nature, implying that the number of civilizations is the same at all times. Here, I build upon earlier work and present a stochastic formulation. The birth of civilizations within the galaxy is modeled as following a uniform rate (Poisson) stochastic process, with a mean rate of $λ_C$. Each then experiences a constant hazard rate of collapse, which defines an exponential distribution with rate parameter $λ_L$. Thus, the galaxy is viewed as a frothing landscape of civilization birth and collapse. Under these assumptions, I show that N in the Drake Equation must follow another Poisson distribution, with a mean rate $(λ_C/λ_L)$. This is then used to rigorously demonstrate why the Copernican Principle does not allow one to infer N, as well evaluating the algebraic probability of being alone in the galaxy.

description: We make variational estimates for the binding energies of $^2H,~^3H,~^4He,~^{16}O,~^{40}Ca$, showing their running with the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) cutoff towards the infrared region and show the generalized Tjon lines that emerge from the calculations. We infer the SRG evolution of the three-body contributions for the $^3H$ and $^4He$ binding energies by computing the two-body contributions with a variational approach assuming that four-body forces are negligible. At any given SRG cutoff, the three-body contributions may then be inferred as being the experimental value minus the two-body contributions. The off-shell / on-shell transition at a critical SRG cutoff $λ_c$ drives the behavior of all binding energies and this scale is the turning point of the generalized Tjon lines. Also, at $λ_c$ the ratios between three-body and two-body contributions to the binding energies, $B_{λ_c}(3) ~/~ B_{λ_c}(2)$, are the same in both $^3H$ and $^4He$ systems and equal to $1/4$, so that $B_{λ_c}(2) ~=~ 4~B_{λ_c}(3)$. All calculations are carried out with the Idaho-Salamanca N3LO potential, which is evolved with the SRG up to the infrared fixed point ($λ\to 0$) in all S, P, D, F and G partial-wave channels in order to compute the variational binding energies at several SRG cutoff scales.

description: Position control is usually achieved using a position controller and a profile generator. The motion profile generator establishes the trajectory based on reference position and imposed motion constrains, and the position controller forces the actual position to trace the generated position trajectory. The S-curves motion profile generator allows control for the maximum values of speed, acceleration and jerk. When profile position value reaches the value of final point position, the generator sends a signal to the set-point generator to move on to next desired point of motion profile, and so on. This motion profile generator will be implemented as a software sequence which is executed in real-time. The software of motion profile generator will be validated by comparison with the simulation in MATLAB for S-curve motion.
Adaptive predictive control : analysis and expert implementation
Creators: name: Elshafei, Abdel-Latif
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A generalized predictive controller has been derived based on a general state-space model. The case of a one-step control horizon has been analyzed and its equivalence to a perturbation problem has been emphasized. In the case of a small perturbation, the closed-loop poles have been calculated with high accuracy. For the case of a general perturbation, an upper bound on the permissible perturbation norm has been derived. A functional analysis approach has also been adopted to assess the closed-loop stability in the case of nonlinear systems. Both the plant-model match and plant-model mismatch cases have been analyzed. The proposed controller has proven to be so robust that an adaptive implementation based on Laguerre-filter modelling has been motivated. Both SISO and MIMO schemes have been analyzed. Using a sufficient number of Laguerre filters for modelling, the adaptive controller has been proven to be globally convergent. For low-order models, the robustness of the adaptive controller can be insured by increasing the prediction horizon. The convergence and robustness results have been extended to other predictive controllers. A comparative study has shown that the proposed controller would be superior to the other predictive controllers if the open-loop system is stable, well-damped, and of unknown order or time delay. To achieve a reliable control without deep user involvement, the adaptive version of the proposed controller has been implemented using the expert shell, G2. The resulting expert system has been used to orchestrate the operation of the controller, provide an interactive user interface, adjust the Laguerre-filter model using AI search algorithms, and evaluate the performance of the controller on-line. Based on the performance evaluation, the tuning parameters of the controller can be adjusted on-line using fuzzy-logic rules.

description: For a variety of quantum dots, the widths of different single-particle levels may naturally differ by orders of magnitude. In particular, the width of one strongly coupled level may be larger than the spacing between other, very narrow, levels. We found that in this case many consecutive Coulomb blockade peaks are due to occupation of the same broad level. Between the peaks the electron jumps from this level to one of the narrow levels and the transmission through the dot at the next resonance essentially repeats that at the previous one. This offers a natural explanation of the salient features of the behavior of the transmission phase in an interferometer with a QD. The theory of this effect will be reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the interactions. New results on the dot-charging measurements and the fine structure of occupation switchings will be presented, accompanied by the unified description of the whole series of CB peaks caused by a single broad level. We then discuss the case where the system approaches the Kondo regime.

description: This thesis examines the history of Lancaster Asylum, Lancashire’s first county asylum, from 1840 to 1915 to explore the relationship between asylum authority and patient agency in the institution. Whereas current historiography has dichotomized patients’ responses to asylum life as passive or resistant, this thesis advocates for a more nuanced definition of agency. A broader framework for thinking about the agency of marginalized groups, including asylum patients, is suggested. Patient resistance, coping mechanisms and engagement are considered as mechanisms of agentive behaviour. The relationship of patient agency and asylum authority is explored to illuminate the implications of power relationships in the asylum for the development of the institution. By focussing on a single institution over a 75-year period, this thesis traces the impact of patient agency on the development of psychiatric medicine in Lancaster Asylum. The relationship between patient agency and asylum authority is explored through two interconnected levels. Firstly, an in-depth qualitative analysis of casebooks permits a discussion of incidents of conflict, accommodation, and cooperation between patients and asylum authorities. Secondly, these incidents are related to the built and material world of the institution. By analysing visual and material sources alongside patients’ casebooks this thesis highlights the gap between intention and practice in the material world of the asylum. Despite being arranged to control patients’ behaviour, the spaces and objects of the asylum could be appropriated by patients to facilitate agency. This affords a more active role to the patient in the history of psychiatry than previous research, underlining the collaborative, as well as the paternalistic, aspects of the medical encounter. The asylum is re-positioned, not just as the product of the medical profession, nineteenth-century reformers, or the Poor Law, but as a negotiated entity which was shaped by the complex interaction of a range of agendas, including those of patients.

description: The pattern of a large approximate degeneracy of the excited hadron spectra (larger than the chiral restoration degeneracy) is present in the recent experimental report of Bugg. Here we try to model this degeneracy with state of the art quark models. We review how the Coulomb Gauge chiral invariant and confining Bethe-Salpeter equation simplifies in the case of very excited quark-antiquark mesons, including angular or radial excitations, to a Salpeter equation with an ultrarelativistic kinetic energy with the spin-independent part of the potential. The resulting meson spectrum is solved, and the excited chiral restoration is recovered, for all mesons with J > 0. Applying the ultrarelativistic simplification to a linear equal-time potential, linear Regge trajectories are obtained, for both angular and radial xcitations. The spectrum is also compared with the semi-classical Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization relation. However the excited angular and radial spectra do not coincide exactly. We then search, with the classical Bertrand theorem, for central potentials producing always classical closed orbits with the ultrarelativistic kinetic energy. We find that no such potential exists, and this implies that no exact larger degeneracy can be obtained in our equal-time framework, with a single principal quantum number comparable to the non-relativistic Coulomb or harmonic oscillator potentials. Nevertheless we find plausible that the large experimental approximate degeneracy will be modelled in the future by quark models beyond the present state of the art.

description: The elasto-inertial effects on particle focusing in a square-tube flow were investigated experimentally and numerically. Microscale experiments using spherical particles in dilute polymer solutions demonstrated that the particles are focused on the midline and/or the diagonal in a downstream cross-section, depending on the polymer concentration. Numerical computations based on the FENE-P model for the viscoelastic flow reproduced these focusing patterns. It was revealed that the transitions among the patterns are accounted for by the elastic forces due to the first normal stress difference and the polymer elongation, which are the essentials of the viscoelastic fluid.

description: We propose a novel two-dimensional hierarchical auxetic structure consisting of a porous medium in which a homogeneous matrix includes a rank-two set of cuts characterised by different scales. The six-fold symmetry of the perforations makes the medium isotropic in the plane. Remarkably, the mesoscale interaction between the first- and second-level cuts enables the attainment of a value of the Poisson's ratio close to the minimum reachable limit of -1. The effective properties of the hierarchical auxetic structure are determined numerically, considering both a unit cell with periodic boundary conditions and a finite structure containing a large number of repeating cells. Further, results of the numerical study are validated experimentally on a polymeric specimen with appropriately arranged rank-two cuts, tested under uniaxial tension. We envisage that the proposed hierarchical design can be useful in numerous engineering applications exploiting an extreme auxetic effect

description: Mechanical allodynia is present as early as four days in streptozotocin (STZ) induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in rats. This is thought to occur through mechanisms affecting the same thin fiber afferents that evoke the mechanoreflex. In this study, the purpose was to determine the effects of T1DM on the mechanoreflex. We injected (i.p.) 50 mg/kg of Streptozotocin (STZ) or the vehicle (CTL) in both sexes and waited 1wk (STZ: BW=251.2±11.47g, glucose=468.1±23.18mg/dL, HbA1C=6.09±02%; CTL: BW=351.5±21.01g, glucose=176.3±10.94mg/dL, HbA1C=4.23±0.12%). In unanesthetized decerebrate rats, we stretched the Achilles tendon for 30s and measured the pressor and cardioaccelerator responses. We then compared the pressor and cardioaccelerator responses to tendon stretch before and after inhibition of Piezo 1 and 2 channels. Inhibition was done by injecting GsMTx-4 (10μg/100μl), a selective mechano- gated Piezo channel inhibitor, into the arterial supply of the hindlimb muscles in rats. We found that the pressor (STZ: ΔMAP=42.1±8.3 mmHg, n=9; CTL: ΔMAP=18.7±4.0 mmHg, n=6; p<0.05) but not the cardioaccelerator (STZ: ΔHR=13.6±3.7 bpm, n=9; CTL: ΔHR=9.7±2.7 bpm, n=6; p>0.05) responses to tendon stretch were exaggerated 1wk after injecting STZ. Furthermore, GsMTx-4 appears to attenuate the pressor (before GsMTx-4: ΔMAP=65.33±4.98 mmHg; after GsMTx-4: ΔMAP=46±4.16 mmHg, n=3; p<0.05) but not cardioaccelerator (before GsMTx-4: ΔHR=16.67±4.18 bpm; after GsMTx-4: ΔHR=13.33±6.77 bpm, n=3; p>0.05) responses to tendon stretch in rats 1wk after STZ injection. The developed tensions from tendon stretch were similar within each comparison. We conclude that the mechanoreflex is augmented in the early stage of T1DM and that Piezo channels likely play a role in this response.

description: Tunneling delay times of wavepackets in quantum mechanical penetration of rectangular barriers have long been known to show a perplexing independence with respect to the width of the barrier. This also has relevence to the transmission of evanescent waves in optics. Some authors have claimed that in the presence of absorption or inelastic channels (which they model by taking a complex barrier potential) this effect no longer exists, in that the time delay becomes proportional to the barrier width. Taking the point of view that complex potentials imply non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and are as such fraught with conceptual pit-falls particularly in connection to problems involving time evolution, we have constructed a two-channel model which does not suffer from such maladies in order to examine this issue. We find that the conclusions arrived at by the earlier authors need to be qualified.

description: Abstract: New nanostructured semiconductor materials such as nanocrystals and organic semiconductors constitute an attractive platform for optoelectronics design due to the ease of their processability and highly tunable properties. Incorporating these new nanostructured materials into electrical circuits requires forming junctions between them and other layers in a device, yet the change in dielectric properties about these junctions can strongly perturb the electronic structure of the two layers. Specifically, the morphology of the interface between two materials greatly affect their ability to transfer charge and energy through the system, and the method through which this energy travels across a junction is poorly understood. To study these processes, an interfacial technique is required that measures the Density of States (Dos) at buried interfaces in working devices. In this thesis, we adapt an interface-selective optical technique, electronic sum frequency generation (ESFG), to study the dynamics of energy transfer across interfaces in these materials. We begin by developing “direct” detected ESFG to study the electronic states and morphology at the interface of thin films made from known organic semiconductor materials. Using direct ESFG, we examine the differences in the DoS at an interface in an organic thin film relative to its bulk. Through polarization optics, we study morphological changes in the film caused at the junction of the OSC and substrate. To account for interference from multiple ESFG active interfaces present in a thin film, we use a modeling system to separate contributions to the measured ESFG signal from the air exposed and buried interface of interest. We then adapt the direct detected ESFG to “heterodyne” detected ESFG (HD-ESFG), which significantly increases the detection ability of the ESFG spectrometer. Additionally, HD-ESFG allows us to measure the phase of the materials response, which direct ESFG cannot. This phase information can give a better understanding of the morphology at the interface and additional inputs for thin film interference modeling to better deconvolute the signal from the buried interface.

description: Graduate mental health has become an increasingly highlighted concern in populations ranging from PhD students (Nature, 2019), to medical students (Rummell, 2015). Clinical psychology students are also at risk; with little attention paid to their mental health needs in the United States. Specifically, one study found that in a review of psychology doctoral program handbooks, only one in three clinical programs mentioned self-care, compared to 94% of programs in the United Kingdom. This dissertation aims to address some of the gaps in care by proposing an implementation program design to reduce mental health burdens for graduate psychology programs using a mindfulness intervention example. This proposal uses the Ottowa Model of Research Use, (OMRU) a well-established model for implementation and dissemination research. Additionally, Community-Based Participative Research (CBPR) frameworks are used to frame the intervention. CBPR approaches are crucial in addressing power disparities, equity concerns, and are an important facet of linking interventions tightly to community identified needs, thus improving sustainability and efficacy of the chose intervention The implementation process is broken down into three steps, Assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation, which follow the AME guideline of OMRU. Detailed guides are provided for each step including overviews and applications of focus groups and needs assessments, adaptation of evidence-based interventions, and common barriers and strategies of the proposed intervention. The scope of graduate student mental health concerns are described as well as a detailed guide to implementation of a low-cost, low-impact, evidence-based mindfulness intervention. Feasibility, sustainability, obstacles and significance of findings are discussed.
