description: Magnetic dipolar modes (MDMs) in a quasi 2D ferrite disk are microwave energy eigenstate oscillations with topologically distinct structures of rotating fields and unidirectional power flow circulations. At the first glance, this might seem to violate the law of conservation of an angular momentum, since the microwave structure with an embedded ferrite sample is mechanically fixed. However, an angular momentum is seen to be conserved if topological properties of electromagnetic fields in the entire microwave structure are taken into account. In this paper we show that due to the topological action of the azimuthally unidirectional transport of energy in a MDM resonance ferrite sample there exists the opposite topological reaction on a metal screen placed near this sample. We call this effect topological Lenz effect. The topological Lenz law is applied to opposite topological charges, one in a ferrite sample and another on a metal screen. The MDM originated near fields, the magnetoelectric (ME) fields, induce helical surface electric currents and effective charges on a metal. The fields formed by these currents and charges will oppose their cause.

description: Objectives: This study aims to assess the usefulness of spectral range profile (SRP) for quantitative assessment of voice quality in vocally healthy singers and non-singers groups differentiated by age and gender. Study Design: Prospective study. Methods: SRP in combination with voice range profile (VRP) using standard singing voice protocols were derived from 57 vocally healthy adults (13 trained choir singers, 44 non-singers) and from 23 vocally healthy prepubescent children (12 choir singers, 11 non-singers). Spectral voice quality parameter - coefficient of sound was calculated as the percent ratio of the sound pressure level (SPL) in the singer’s formant frequency region between 2.6 and 3.7 kHz and the SPL of fundamental frequency for fortissimo singing. Results: When compared with non-singers, both genders of adult singers demonstrated a significantly greater average values of coefficient of sound (P<0.05), while no statistically significant differences were found for this parameter in the children groups. The logistic regression analysis revealed that coefficient of sound for adults and pitch range for children were selected as the key predictors of well-equipped voice. The limiting score of the coefficient of sound of ≥ 84.5 % distinguishing singers and non-singers according to ROC curve, has the sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 90.9%. Conclusions: Our study suggests that measurement of spectral range profile may be helpful for quantitative assessment of voice quality in adults, and could be recommended for phoniatricians and speech-language pathologists in their clinical practice.
Children's gradual acquisition of singular and plural

description: By two years of age children are using singular and plural words appropriately in their speech (Brown 1973), yet it is unclear whether their early representations are adult-like. It is not known how and when children develop the understanding that a word such as cats is composed of the lexical root cat and the plural morpheme -s (i.e., cat+s). The aim of this thesis was to therefore to explore some of the factors that potentially affect young children's understanding of the marking of nominal number in English. The studies presented in chapters two and three examined children's early comprehension of singular and plural using a novel-word Intermodal Preferential Looking task (Kouider, Halberda, Wood & Carey, 2006). In chapter two, the results found that 24-month-olds had an understanding of plural morphology that was limited to the voiceless plural allomorph /-s/ (e.g., cat + /s/), which is longer in duration and more perceptually salient than the voiced allomorph /-z/ (e.g., dog + /z/). However, the results presented in chapter three suggested that perceptual salience was not the only factor to play a role in children's acquisition of plural morphology, as 36-months-olds, but not 30-month-olds, were found to understand the most perceptually salient syllabic allomorph /-əz/ (e.g., bus + /əz/). The studies presented in chapters four and five examined pre-schoolers' understanding of singular and plural using a novel-word forced choice task. In chapter four, the study found 3- to 5-year-olds' comprehension of novel plurals, yet not novel singulars, improved with age. The study in chapter five examined children with hearing loss, which is known to affect children's acquisition of English plural and tense inflections, likely due to difficulty perceiving fricatives (Koehlinger, Owen Van Horne, & Moeller, 2013). Overall, the children with hearing loss were no better than chance at identifying novel plurals and singulars. However, comprehension of novel plurals improved with age. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the acquisition of morphological representations more generally.

description: Practical determination of physical recovery after intense exercise is a challenging topic that must include mechanical aspects as well as cognitive ones because most of physical sport activities, as well as professional activities (including brain computer interface-operated systems), require good shape in both of them. This paper presents a new online handwritten database of 20 healthy subjects. The main goal was to study the influence of several physical exercise stimuli in different handwritten tasks and to evaluate the recovery after strenuous exercise. To this aim, they performed different handwritten tasks before and after physical exercise as well as other measurements such as metabolic and mechanical fatigue assessment. Experimental results showed that although a fast mechanical recovery happens and can be measured by lactate concentrations and mechanical fatigue, this is not the case when cognitive effort is required. Handwriting analysis revealed that statistical differences exist on handwriting performance even after lactate concentration and mechanical assessment recovery. Conclusions: This points out a necessity of more recovering time in sport and professional activities than those measured in classic ways.

description: The analysis of the chemical composition of galaxies provides fundamental insights into their evolution. This holds true also in the case of the outer regions of spiral galaxies. This Chapter presents the observational data, accumulated in the past few years mostly from the analysis of HII region spectra, concerning the metallicity of the outer disks of spirals that are characterized by extended HI envelopes and low star formation rates. I present evidence from the literature that the metal radial distribution flattens at large galactocentric distances, with levels of enrichment that exceed those expected given the large gas mass fractions and the weak star formation activity. The interpretation of these results leads to speculations regarding mechanisms of metal mixing in galactic disks and the possibility that metal-enriched gas infall plays a role in determining the chemical evolution of the outskirts of spirals.

description: We have performed a comprehensive study of the UV emission detected from AGB stars by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). Of the 468 AGB stars in our sample, 316 were observed by GALEX. In the NUV bandpass ($λ_{\rm eff} \sim 2310$z A), 179 AGB stars were detected and 137 were not detected. Only 38 AGB stars were detected in the FUV bandpass ($λ_{\rm eff} \sim1528$ A). We find that NUV emission is correlated with optical to near infrared emission leading to higher detection fractions among the brightest, hence closest, AGB stars. Comparing the AGB time-variable visible phased light curves to corresponding GALEX NUV phased light curves we find evidence that for some AGB stars the NUV emission varies in phase with the visible light curves. We also find evidence that the NUV emission, and possibly, the FUV emission are anti-correlated with the circumstellar envelope density. These results suggest that the origin of the GALEX-detected UV emission is an inherent characteristic of the AGB stars that can most likely be traced to a combination of photospheric and chromospheric emission. In most cases, UV detections of AGB stars are not likely to be indicative of the presence of binary companions.

description: Quantum light sources in the mid-infrared (MIR) band play an important role in many applications, such as quantum sensing, quantum imaging, and quantum communication. However, there is still a lack of high-quality quantum light sources in the MIR band, such as the spectrally pure single-photon source. In this work, we present the generation of spectrally-pure state in an optimized poled lithium niobate crystal using a metaheuristic algorithm. In particular, we adopt the particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the duty cycle of the poling period of the lithium niobate crystal. With our approach, the spectral purity can be improved from 0.820 to 0.998 under the third group-velocity-matched condition, and the wavelength-tunable range is from 3.0 $μ$m to 4.0 $μ$m for the degenerate case and 3.0 $μ$m to 3.7 $μ$m for the nondegenerate case. Our work paves the way for developing quantum photonic technologies at the MIR wavelength band.

description: В Средней Азии, а точнее в старинном городе Бухаре, называемом «жемчужиной Востока, с древних времен сохранился старинный рецепт приготовления традиционных национальных соленых косточек, преимуществом которых является сохранение редкого витамина В17, витаминов А и С, железа и калия, способствующего обогащению крови гемоглобином, йода, магния и фосфора, которые влияют на деятельность щитовидной железы, понижают артериальное давление и являются необходимыми для гипертоников, а также пектина. Способ приготовления таких соленых косточек включает в себя раскол скорлупы механическим способом (ударом молотка каждой косточки по отдельности) для образования трещин, после чего косточки увлажняются в соленом растворе в течение 1-4 мин, где температура воды 50-60 °С, далее увлажненные косточки подвергаются термической обработке, то есть жарению в казанах. В данной статье автором изучены способы раскола абрикосовых косточек разных сортов для образования трещин на скорлупе, без повреждения ядра. Выявлены усилия, необходимые для раскола, осуществлен анализ основных параметров абрикосовых косточек, таких как длина, ширина, толщина стенки скорлупы, ширина стыка скорлупы и масса косточки по различным сортам. Было исследовано влияние силы на раскол абрикосовых косточек на экспериментальной установке GUNT WP 300.20, мощность установки 20 кН. Раскол проводился по сортам абрикосовых косточек, со стороны стыка косточки и со стороны полой части. Выявлены оптимальные условия для раскалывания плодовых косточек, имеющих приблизительно одинаковую форму и структуру, когда сдавливание косточек осуществляется по стыку и со стороны полой части в направлении большой оси их эллипсообразного сечения, в результате чего ядро не повреждается. Получены графики зависимости F (кН) от расстояния (мм) и продолжительности (сек), результаты приведены в табл. 1. Выявлена также зависимость повышения усилия, оказываемого на разрушение косточки абрикоса, от толщины стенок скорлупы. От толщины стенок и ширины стыка скорлупы абрикоса зависит сила, затрачиваемая на раскол косточки абрикоса: чем тоньше скорлупа и меньше ширина стыка скорлупы, тем меньше силы затрачивается на раскол косточки.
The minimum clearing time problem in wireless networks

description: The thesis focuses on the minimum time clearing objective for link scheduling in wireless networks. We formulate the problem as a deterministic LP. We relate the problem to other works on capacity and scheduling. In general, the problem is NP-complete. We consider special networks where the additional structure makes the problem tractable. We argue that explicitly solving the linear program is implausible. And proceed to show that the problemis amenable to a greedy allocation scheme that only requires local information. Beyond the special case, we consider simple ring networks where in general, the greedy solution is sub-optimal. We solve the minimum clearing time problem for ring networks under 1-hop interference model. We establish the sufficiency conditions for optimality of a greedy solution. We also provide the solution when these conditions do not hold. For this case, the solution depends on global information, unlike the greedy solution. However, the solution only has a linear complexity in terms of computation. The minimum clearing time problem can help us understand how the network is constrained under different load distributions. Ultimately, in the future we aim to use these insights to design a simple scheduling policy, with nearly optimal performance in a general wireless network.

description: Vertigo, imbalance, and dizziness are reported with a 1-year prevalence in the adult population of 48.3%, 39.1%, and 35.6% respectively. Falls in the elderly represent 2.8 million emergency departments visits each year. Reportedly, 5-8% of children will experience vertigo in the general population. These statistics exemplify a significant public health issue with significant implications across populations. There is universal agreement that any investigation for reported vertigo, imbalance, and dizziness begins with a thorough medical evaluation. Regardless of the patient population or presenting symptoms it is imperative to first determine if any acute or chronic underlying medical conditions exist. This is, of course, not a simple task as the sheer number of possible pathologies resulting in vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance is daunting.

description: Despite a decade of research, the precise mechanisms occurring at interfaces underlying the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and thus the possibility of fine-tuning it, are not yet fully identified. In this study, we investigate the origin of the interfacial DMI, aiming at disentangling how independent are the interfaces around the ferromagnetic layer, and what are their relative contributions to the effective DMI amplitude. For this purpose, we have grown and investigated a large variety of systems with a common structure Pt$|$Co$|M$ with $M =$ Ni, Pd, Ru, Al, Al$|$Ta and MoSi. We explore the correlation between the effective interfacial DMI, and different intrinsic properties of metals, namely atomic number, electronegativity and work function difference at the Co$|M$ interfaces. We find a linear relationship between interfacial DMI and the work function difference between the two elements, hence relating the nature of this behavior to the interfacial potential gradient at the metallic interfaces. The understanding of the DMI mechanism is of utmost importance since it opens up the possibility of precisely engineering the magnetic and hence the spintronic properties for future devices.

description: Introduction: The recurrence rate after surgery of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis is high. Nasal and systemic steroids are effective in the decrease (reduction) of recurrence following surgery. Due to the complications of the corticosteroids, alternative treatments are studied, including leukotriene antagonists. In this study, the combination of the leukotriene receptor antagonist drug (montelukast) and intranasal steroid is compared with an intranasal steroid alone, in prevention of postoperative recurrence in patients with nasal polyposis. Materials and Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) was performed enrolling 30 chronic rhinosinusitis patients with polypoid undergoing the functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in both groups were given fluticasone nasal spray and in the case and control group was used montelukast (10mg) and placebo tablet respectively for 6 weeks following the operation. 12 weeks after surgery, patients were evaluated regarding symptoms and sinonasal involvement was determined using endoscopy. Results: Four patients were excluded due to non-cooperation in using drugs. There was no significant difference between the case and control groups regarding the prior history and preoperative symptoms and sinus involvement. After surgery, symptoms and sinus involvement improved significantly in both groups. Postoperative montelukast together with nasal fluticasone spray did not significantly differ from nasal fluticasone spray and placebo in decreasing the symptoms and polyps. Conclusion: The addition of montelukast to nasal steroid spray does not affect the postoperative relapse of symptoms and endoscopic findings of patients with chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis compared to the nasal steroid spray alone for the treatment.

description: Experimental data collected to provide us with information on the course of dielectric relaxation phenomena are got according to two distinct schemes: one can measure either the time decay of depolarization current or use methods of the broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Both sets of data are usually fitted by time or frequency dependent elementary functions which in turn may be analytically transformed among themselves using the Laplace transform and compared each other. This leads to the question on comparability of results got using just mentioned experimental procedures. If we would like to do that in the time domain we have to go beyond widely accepted Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts approximation and get acquainted with description using the Mittag-Leffler functions. To convince the reader that the latter is not difficult to understand we propose to look at the problem from the point of view of objects sitting in the heart of stochastic processes approach to relaxation. These are the characteristic exponents which are read out from the standard non-Debye frequency dependent patterns. Characteristic functions appear to be expressed in terms of elementary functions which asymptotic analysis is simple. This opens new possibility to compare behavior of functions used to describe non-Debye relaxations. Results of such done comparison are fully confirmed by calculations which use the powerful apparatus of the Mittag-Leffler functions.

description: Bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is a challenging clinical entity for laryngologists. The voice may be nearly normal, but mostly there is a severe inspiratory deficiency. The patients may need surgical interventions primarily for life-threatening dyspnea. While treating the dyspnea, dysphonia appears to be a problem to a certain extent. It is necessary to maintain a balance between providing a serviceable voice and prevention from further surgery for relapsing dyspnea. In the literature, there are various techniques which have been introduced for the surgical management of BVFI. In this report we present a modified approach performed on a BVFI patient, targeting to balance between dyspnea and dysphonia.
Marine bioregions in Australia: numerical analysis of provinces on the east coast

description: Bioregions, distinct ecological assemblages of flora and fauna, have long been used to aid conservation decisions. Bioregions containing at-risk taxa have routinely been recommended for assignment as Marine Protected Areas (MPA). However, the number, location and extent of bioregions in Australia has been heavily debated over the previous few decades. The current consensus, based on coastal fishes, does not take into account the diverse benthic taxa present. A large dataset of Australian east coast molluscs, assembled from museum collection records of the last 100 years, was analysed to identify bioregions. Latitudinal bands were analysed with an array of methods previously utilised to identify bioregions elsewhere in the world. The number and size of provinces from each method were compared to form a consensus. Faunal turnover was high and consistent across the entire geographic extent, with no distinct separations into bioregions. There was strong support for a distinct Victoria/Tasmania province. Nitrate content, showed the strongest control over southern latitudes and it is likely this province is controlled by nutrient availability. These results suggest that Australian mollusc distributions are potentially controlled by oceanic currents and nutrient supply from southern waters, with the Bass Strait forming the only distinctive distribution control.

description: Blazars are the most luminous and variable AGNs, and thus excellent probes of accretion and emission processes close to the central engine. We focus on PKS 1510-089 ($z=0.36$), one of the brightest gamma-ray sources in the Fermi LAT catalog, to study its complex multi-wavelength variability. PKS 1510-089 was observed twice in hard X-rays with the IBIS instrument onboard INTEGRAL during the flares of Jan 2009 and Jan 2010, and simultaneously with Swift and NOT, in addition to the constant Fermi monitoring. The optical polarization was measured in several bands on 18 Jan 2010 at the NOT. Using our and archival data we constructed historical light curves at gamma-to-radio wavelengths covering nearly 20 years and applied variability tests. We assembled SEDs in 2009 and 2010 and compared them with those at two previous epochs and with a model based on synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC) radiation. The SED modeling suggests that the physical quantities that undergo the largest variations are the total power injected into the emitting region and the random Lorentz factor of the electron distribution cooling break, that are higher in the higher gamma-ray states. This suggests a correlation of the injected power with enhanced activity of the acceleration mechanism. The cooling likely takes place at a much smaller distance ($\sim$0.03 pc) than the BLR radius. The emission at a few hundred GeV can be reproduced with IC scattering of highly relativistic electrons off FIR photons at $\sim$0.2 pc, presumably in a dusty torus. DCF analysis between the long-term optical and gamma-ray light curves yields a good correlation with no measurable delay. Our time analysis of the RXTE PCA and Fermi LAT light curves reveals no obvious (quasi-)periodicities, up to the maximum time scale (a few years) probed by the light curves, which are severely affected by red noise.

description: В настоящее время в области производства спиртных напитков используют более 100 наименований растительного и фруктового сырья, разнообразного и сложного по химическому составу, который может зависеть не только от вида сырья, но и от условий его произрастания. При приготовлении спиртных напитков разрешено использовать спиртованные настои ряда растений, применяемые в официальной медицине, обладающие лекарственными свойствами. В сочетании с этиловым спиртом эти настои могут снижать токсичность готового продукта, но могут и усиливать его негативные качества или, наконец, не проявляя биологического действия, улучшать только потребительские свойства напитков. В последнее время особое внимание уделяют биологически активным веществам растительного происхождения в составе алкогольной продукции, максимально допустимые количества которых указаны в ТР ТС 029/2012 (Приложение 20): бета-азарон, квассин, ментофуран, пулегон, синильная кислота, теукрин, туйон (альфа и бета). При разработке рецептур спиртных напитков рассчитывают фармакологические дозы, оказывающие лечебный эффект (на 1 л изделия). В спиртные напитки спиртованные настои лекарственных растений вносят в технологической дозе, не превышающей 1/3 части от фармакологической дозы. Так, например, технологическая доза (г/дм3): корня женьшеня — 0,1; корня радиолы розовой — 0,5; семян лимонника — 0,3; корня валерианы лекарственной — 1,3 и т. д. Вопрос исследования влияния рецептурных ингредиентов на токсичность спиртных напитков имеет важное медико-социальное значение, что связано не только со случаями острых отравлений алкоголем, но и с влиянием его потребления на формирование алкогольной зависимости, развитие органной патологии, нарушение репродуктивной функции и здоровье потомства.

description: Objective: Study the scope, dangers and predictors of outcome of deep neck space infections in our setting. Study Design: Retrospective cohort. Setting: Public Academic Tertiary Hospital. Method: Case files retrieved utilizing ICD-10 version 10 codes that met the inclusion criteria for deep neck space infections (DNSI) from January 1, 2012- June 30, 2016 were analyzed. Results: Thirty-three cases of DNSI with a M:F = 1.75:1 were studied. Age range was 6 months - 82years with mean = 35.3 years ± 26.0 Figure 1. In this, 60.6% presented early (≤ 7days) while 39.4% late ( that is after 7 days). The submandibular space predominated (n = 20, 60.6%) then the Space of Gilette (n = 5,15.2%) Figure 2. Major source was odontogenic (n = 19,57.6%) with 57.9%, 26.3% and 15.8% for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mandibular molars, respectively, which tend to be extensive. We recorded a case that extended to the coccyx. Almost half had causally-associated co-morbidity (n = 15, 45.5%); predominantly anemia (n = 8, 24.2%) Figure 3. Parenteral Ceftriazone/Augmentin with Metronidazole for 24-48 hours before surgical intervention of which 36.4% were delayed interventions. All had ICU management which improved outcome. Morbidity and mortality rates were 24.2% and 15.2% respectively with the latter often following upper airway obstruction from Ludwig’s angina in 80% of which three-fifth expired before surgical intervention from late presentation. Conclusion: Extensive deep neck space infections with their attendant morbidity and mortality remain frequent in our environment. Early diagnosis and early identification of predictors of outcome with prompt intervention are key to satisfactory results.

description: Tracking and reconstructing 3D objects from cluttered scenes are the key components for computer vision, robotics and autonomous driving systems. While recent progress in implicit function has shown encouraging results on high-quality 3D shape reconstruction, it is still very challenging to generalize to cluttered and partially observable LiDAR data. In this paper, we propose to leverage the continuity in video data. We introduce a novel and unified framework which utilizes a neural implicit function to simultaneously track and reconstruct 3D objects in the wild. Our approach adapts the DeepSDF model (i.e., an instantiation of the implicit function) in the video online, iteratively improving the shape reconstruction while in return improving the tracking, and vice versa. We experiment with both Waymo and KITTI datasets and show significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods for both tracking and shape reconstruction tasks.

description: Сегодня потребитель обращает внимание на натуральность ингредиентов в составе продуктов питания и напитков. Одним из натуральных интенсификаторов брожения может быть спирулина (Arthrospira platensis). В литературе есть данные об увеличении скорости брожения и выживаемости дрожжей в производстве пива после добавлении спирулины. Спирулина оказывает двойное положительное действие на культуру клеток: за счет большого содержания белка со всеми незаменимыми аминокислотами она питает колонии; за счет наличия фикоцианина — сильного антиоксиданта, защищает клетки микроорганизмов от продуктов их метаболизма, например, спирта в случае спиртового брожения. Чтобы избежать заражения пивного сусла сторонними микроорганизмами, различные экстракты лучше добавлять до варки пива. Некоторые экстракты и вещества, способные повысить качество напитка или увеличить скорость и интенсивность брожения, не термостабильны и требуют отдельной стерилизации перед добавлением в сусло. В этой работе авторы показали, что добавление термически обработанной спирулины не оказывает влияние ни на количество колоний дрожжей, ни на скорость их роста на агаризированном пивном сусле. Добавление термически не обработанной спирулины увеличивает количество колоний в чашках Петри, но не влияет на скорость их роста. Скорее всего, спирулина влияет на выживаемость дрожжей за счет не термостабильного белка и антиоксиданта — фикоцианина. Получены предварительные данные, для понимания причин положительного влияния спирулины на выживаемость дрожжей при спиртовом брожении пивного сусла и, как следствие, на скорость и качество брожения необходимо провести дополнительные исследования.

description: Paranasal sinus mucocele is a cystic formation filled with mucus, resulting from the obstruction of sinus ostium. The most common place of mucocele localization is frontal sinus, which is due to its specific anatomical architecture and a narrow passage of the frontal recess. Approximately in 70% mucocele localizes in a frontal sinus. In this article we present the case report on 37 years old woman who applied to clinic of aesthetic medicine to get consultation about blepharoplasty possibilities. Patient complained on a mild bilateral upper eyelid ptosis, more significant on the left side. She also complained on recurrent nasal blockage, excessive nasal discharge, facial pain and pressure on her left side supraorbitally. Computered tomography (CT) for paranasal sinuses has been ordinated and lateral mucocele in a the left frontal sinus was diagnosed, as well as, inflammatory process in the left maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. Investigation and treatment options for this patient are discussed in this article.
Empirical analysis of business cycles using the unobserved components model

description: Timely estimates of the current state of the business cycle in a number of economic indicators are essential in the setting of the stance of macroeconomic policy. There are several methods for extracting estimates of the underlying trends and cycles but results vary considerably by method, and it is sometimes uncertain whether the estimated components actually represent real underlying phenomena. The central challenge of each of the three articles forming the main body of this thesis is finding a meaningful statistical characterisation of the business cycle component in various aggregate macroeconomic variables using an unobserved components model.The first article demonstrates how a common cyclical component can be extracted from a set of related labour market statistics to make new estimates of Okun coefficients and participation coefficients by age and gender. The estimated coefficients were generally higher than those typically reported in the literature and reveal the characteristic cyclical response of different groups of workers to an economic downturn. The second article sheds new light on previously disparate empirical findings of procyclical or countercyclical productivity, against a theoretical framework in which it is usually held to be procyclical. An extension of the unobserved components model which allowed direct estimates of phase-shift amongst similar cycles was used to explain the apparent countercyclical and lagging behaviour of average labour productivity relative to the output cycle. The third article develops a non-linear version of the model which incorporates the possibility of asymmetric responses to an exogenous recession indicator. Two related questions are considered in the article, namely, whether a non-linear model with asymmetric features provide a better fit to macroeconomic data than a symmetric model, and whether a recession is a real macroeconomic phenomenon, more than simply the mirror image of the expansionary phase of the cycle. Evidence is found in favour of asymmetry. One important aspect of business cycle research is revealing the characteristic comovement of the cyclical components of several economic aggregate variables in a multivariate framework. The three articles in this thesis have demonstrated how such a framework can be used in situations where economic policy making will benefit from a better understanding of the cyclical behaviour of key macroeconomic aggregate variables and the interaction between them.

description: Radiative alpha-capture, ($α,γ$), reactions play a critical role in nucleosynthesis and nuclear energy generation in a variety of astrophysical environments. The St. George recoil separator at the University of Notre Dame's Nuclear Science Laboratory was developed to measure ($α,γ$) reactions in inverse kinematics via recoil detection in order to obtain nuclear reaction cross sections at the low energies of astrophysical interest, while avoiding the $γ$-background that plagues traditional measurement techniques. Due to the $γ$-ray produced by the nuclear reaction at the target location, recoil nuclei are produced with a variety of energies and angles, all of which must be accepted by St. George in order to accurately determine the reaction cross section. We demonstrate the energy acceptance of the St. George recoil separator using primary beams of helium, hydrogen, neon, and oxygen, spanning the magnetic and electric rigidity phase space populated by recoils of anticipated ($α,γ$) reaction measurements. We found the performance of St. George meets the design specifications, demonstrating its suitability for ($α,γ$) reaction measurements of astrophysical interest.
