New perspectives on iconic memory
Creators: name: Vrankovic, Jasmina

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The early stages of the human memory system for visual information are most commonly postulated to consist of iconic memory (a short-lived store with a high capacity) and visual short-term memory (a longer lasting store with a limited capacity). In addition to rapid registration of visual information, it has also been suggested that there is rapid registration of higher-level or semantic information about visual stimuli. However, the relationship between rapid registration of visual and semantic information across the early stages of memory requires further investigation. This thesis reports three empirical studies that investigated the nature of visual and semantic representations in the early stages of memory. The first study used a partial-report task with pictures of objects to investigate the nature of visual and semantic information accessible in the early stages of memory and how this information persists over time. The second study explored the effects of visual interference on access to early visual and semantic representations. The third study investigated the nature of memory representations across several early stages of memory in a change detection task. Memory performance indicated that visual and semantic representations could be accessed rapidly. Visual representations were initially more accessible than semantic representations but they were also more susceptible to decay. Visual representations were more susceptible than semantic representations to interference from subsequent visual information. Change detection was facilitated by visual and semantic cues and it deteriorated gradually as cues were delayed. The findings from these studies were used to evaluate existing accounts of iconic memory and the role of early stages of visual memory in rapid registration of new information.

description: The shoulder is a complex mechanical system. Alterations in the position and/or orientation of its joints may interfere with optimal shoulder coordination. Scapular dyskinesis (SDK) is defined as mal-positioning or mal-movement of the scapula along the thoracic wall. It is not well established the role of scapular dyskinesis as the cause or the effect of shoulder pathologies. The Upper-Quarter Y-Balance test (UQYBT) has been suggested as a return-to-play tool for athletes with upper extremity injuries. The objective of this study was to quantify the relation between the UQYBT and SDK. Six males and five females participated in the study, age 18-30 years old. All participants’ shoulders were evaluated by a certified athletic trainer using Kibler Scapular Dyskinesis Test (SDT) as having dyskinesis or not. Each participant performed three of the SDT and three of the UQYBT. The outcomes of the UQYBT were the highest score for each direction SuperiorLateral Reach (SLR), Inferior-Lateral Reach (ILR), and Medial Reach (MR) and the Composite score. An independent t-test with unequal variances was performed to determine statistical differences between normal and SDK shoulders during the UQYBT. Results indicate significant differences between the normal and SDK shoulders in the Composite score (p=.048). No significance was found during the ILR, SLR, and MR. In conclusions, when the SDK shoulder was stabilizing during the UQYBT higher scores were seen in every direction compared to the normal shoulder. These suggest that SDK may affect the scores of UQYBT.

description: This paper analyzed anatomical similarities and differences of the acetabulum between patients with hip OA, compared to patients without OA. Review of AP pelvic radiographs in patients with femoral neck fractures (patients with OA were excluded) and patients with OA of the hip scheduled for THA. No significant difference exists in AI or CE angle between the 2 groups, but patients without OA had a significantly higher DW ratio. Depth: Width CE angle ratio increased significantly with age in both the entire sample, and in the female-only subgroup. The study provides radiographic means to measure normal values which can serve as a possible reference point for proper prosthesis placement in total hip arthroplasty procedures and in hip fracture repair.

description: Carbonaceous chondrites offer a tangible record of the astrophysical and geological processes occurring in the early solar system. They provide insight into the formation and amalgamation of the first solids, through to the geological evolution of small planetary bodies. In this study, the macroscopic properties of chondrites are related to microscopic features of the chondritic components. The chemical and microstructural properties of chondrules from three selected, but representative CVoxA chondrites are studied and a new chondrule classification scheme is presented. This new scheme is used to help identify the modification of chondrules by nebular and parent-body interactions which leads to a refined model for variable alteration of the CV parent-body. Neutron computed tomography is used to visualise and quantify the components of CV and CM type chondrites. On this basis, a simplified model for the formation of CM and CV chondrites is presented.

description: We consider quantum enhancement of direct-detection interferometric measurements to increase telescope resolution. We propose a protocol of measuring interferometric visibility function using imperfectly entangled states shared between remote telescopes. We show how errors in visibility measurement, and in turn, errors in intensity distribution of a distant object depend on the degree of entanglement of the shared quantum resource. We determine that these errors are sufficiently small over a wide range of resource states which makes our technique feasible in practical environments.

description: We confirm two new local massive relic galaxies, i.e. untouched survivors of the early universe massive population: Mrk1216 and PGC032873. Both show early and peaked formation events within very short timescales (<1 Gyr) and thus old mean mass-weighted ages (~13 Gyr). Their star formation histories remain virtually unchanged out to several effective radii, even when considering the steeper IMF values inferred out to ~3 effective radii. Their morphologies, kinematics and density profiles are like those found in the z>2 massive population, setting them apart of the typical z~0 massive early-type galaxies. We find that there seems to exist a "degree of relic" that is related on how far into the path to become one of these typical z~0 massive galaxies the compact relic has undergone. This path is partly dictated by the environment the galaxy lives in. For galaxies in rich environments, such as the previously reported relic galaxy NGC1277, the most extreme properties (e.g. sizes, short formation timescales, larger super-massive black holes) are expected, while lower density environments will have galaxies with delayed and/or extended star formations, slightly larger sizes and not that extreme black hole masses. The confirmation of 3 relic galaxies up to a distance of 106Mpc implies a lower limit in the number density of these red nuggets in the local universe of 6x10^{-7} Mpc^{3}, which is within the theoretical expectations.

Release properties of melatonin loaded mesoporous silica materials
Creators: name: Moroni, Irene
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland and involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms (e.g. sleep/wake cycle). Exogenous melatonin is used in the treatment of circadian disorders (e.g. delayed sleep phase syndrome, jet-lag or shift-work). In currently available commercial formulations melatonin has low bioavailability. Tailored formulations are needed to treat diverse and specific circadian disorders. Mesoporous silica materials can be efficient drug carriers as they are non-toxic biodegradable materials possessing high surface area, large pore volume and pore dimensions in the mesoscale range. This study focused on the preparation of mesoporous silica formulations for controlling the release of melatonin. Mesoporous materials (MCM-41) were synthesised and characterized through different physicochemical techniques. They were loaded with melatonin and their release properties were investigated in simulated gastro and intestinal fluids under sink conditions. Results suggested that MCM-41 alone did not delay the release of melatonin significantly. Thus, the particles were coated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) to further slow the rate of release. Preliminary biological assays revealed that both uncoated and PAA-coated MCM-41 with melatonin did not significantly increase apoptosis nor ROS production compared to the control (no treatment) when added for 24 h to mouse microglial cells (BV2).

description: Introduction: Craniometric indices show the percentage relationship between different dimensions. It is an important parameter for classification of race and sex of individuals of unknown identity. This study was undertaken to determine the craniometric indices of gnathic, palatal, orbital, cranial and nasal indices of Nigerian skulls. Materials and Methods: One hundred adult dry skulls, (78 males, and 22 females) free from damage and deformities from eleven Departments of Anatomy in Nigerian Universities were used. Automatic digital and spreading callipers were used for the measurement. Data was analyzed with Graph Pad Prism 5.03. The mean, coefficient of variation, correlation, linear regression, percentiles, sexual dimorphism ratio were calculated. Results: The male/female ratios for the mean measurements were greater than unity. The mean value of all cranial parameters showed high level of sexual dimorphism. The male gnathic, palatal, orbital, cranial and nasal indices were found to be 99.50, 79.22, 89.59, 76.03, 53.67 respectively while female gnathic, palatal, orbital, cranial and nasal indices were 98.78, 87.66, 87.04, 76.12, 59.11 respectively. Male basion-nasion versus basion-prosthion length had positive correlation and the fit line sloped upward. There was no correlation between female basion-nasion versus basion-prosthion and the fit line was straight. Percentiles of indices showed a progressive increase from 10th - 90th. Conclusion: The findings from this study will be handy tools in anatomical modelling, in addition to providing information for both cosmetic surgery and medico-legal guide in forensic science.

description: We report on the development and application of an atomic layer etching (ALE) procedure based on alternating exposures of trimethylaluminum and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (HF) implemented to controllably etch aluminum oxide. Our ALE process utilizes the same chemistry previously demonstrated in the atomic layer deposition of aluminum fluoride thin films, and can therefore be exploited to remove the surface oxide from metallic aluminum and replace it with thin fluoride layers in order to improve the performance of ultraviolet aluminum mirrors. This ALE process is modified relative to existing methods through the use of a chamber conditioning film of lithium fluoride, which is shown to enhance the loss of fluorine surface species and results in conformal layer-by-layer etching of aluminum oxide films. Etch properties were explored over a temperature range of 225 to 300 °C with the Al2O3 etch rate increasing from 0.8 to 1.2 Å per ALE cycle at a fixed HF exposure of 60 ms per cycle. The effective etch rate has a dependence on the total HF exposure, but the process is shown to be scalable to large area substrates with a post-etch uniformity of better than 2% demonstrated on 125 mm diameter wafers. The efficacy of the ALE process in reducing interfacial native aluminum oxide on evaporated aluminum mirrors is demonstrated with characterization by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and measurements of ultraviolet reflectance at wavelengths down to 120 nm.

description: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections have widely been adopted for more than a century as the standard method for morphological study, particularly in the field of diagnostic pathology, most of the criteria for pathological diagnosis are established by the observation of FFPE tissue sections. With remarkable achievements in morphologic research field during the past one more century, FFPE tissue samples have been accumulated worldwide that are accompanied with complete clinical data including follow-up results of treatment, or, experimental data collected previously, resulted in an invaluable resource of research. Three more decades ago, immunohistochemistry (IHC) started to show its power and beauty in the field of histopathology, however, at the early stage it was largely limited on frozen tissue sections only. Formalin fixation masks the proteins (antigen) in the tissue sections that unfortunately become inaccessible for antibody in IHC. Numerous scientists urged to find a way to apply IHC staining on FFPE tissue sections based on a dream that formalin-modified proteins may be retrievable.

Local adaptation to climate in Sydney sandstone plant species

description: Determining the extent and effect of local adaptation on survival is central to understanding plant responses to the abiotic environment. Understanding species capacity to respond to rapid, human-driven changes to climate is essential for conservation planning and ecological restoration. For instance, the presence of local adaptation also influences decisions about the sourcing of seed for revegetation programs. Here, I examine whether germination and establishment of two plant species (Acacia suaveolens and Banksia serrata) show evidence of local adaptation to temperature using germination trials and common garden experiments. Experimental populations were sourced from cold and warm margins of a temperature gradient between the Blue Mountains and Central Coast, New South Wales. We hypothesise higher fitness for individuals grown in ‘home’ conditions relative to ‘foreign’ (e.g higher seedling growth and survival). We found contrasting evidence of local adaptation to local temperature across the range of traits measured in each species. Growth-chamber trials showed B. serrata radicle growth and time till germination were higher at temperatures closer to those experienced by populations in the field, whereas common garden trials at both ends of the temperature gradient showed little to no evidence of local adaptation in the early establishment phase of either species. We discuss the implications of these results for climate change adaptation and ecological restoration projects.

description: The study investigated the effect of cannabis sativa smoking on some hematological characteristics on the male students consumers. Blood samples were collected in triplicates from twenty (10) randomly selected male voluntary marijuana smokers (test) and ten (10) voluntary male non-smokers (control) in Choba Community, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The parameters considered were body temperature, pulse rate, Red blood cells (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and hemoglobin estimation (Hb). The research study revealed significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences in the hematological parameters between the smokers (Test) and non-smoker (control) subjects. Faster pulse rate and lower body temperatures were seen among test subjects as compared to control. The values observed for total white blood cell (TWBC), ESR and RBC were lower in test subject (smokers) than the control (non-smokers), while the values observed for ESR, Hb, and RBC were relatively close. The mean values observed for PCV, TWBC and Hb were markedly lower (p ≤ 0.05) in test subject than in control and could be indicative of reduced percentage of blood in the cell, porous immune system and decreased iron group of heme.

description: The late-type Be star $β$ CMi is remarkably stable compared to other Be stars that have been studied. This has led to a realistic model of the outflowing Be disk by Klement et al. These results showed that the disk is likely truncated at a finite radius from the star, which Klement et al.~suggest is evidence for an unseen binary companion in orbit. Here we report on an analysis of the Ritter Observatory spectroscopic archive of $β$ CMi to search for evidence of the elusive companion. We detect periodic Doppler shifts in the wings of the H$α$ line with a period of 170 d and an amplitude of 2.25 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with a low-mass binary companion ($M\approx 0.42 M_\odot$). We then compared the small changes in the violet-to-red peak height changes ($V/R$) with the orbital motion. We find weak evidence that it does follow the orbital motion, as suggested by recent Be binary models by Panoglou et al. Our results, which are similar to those for several other Be stars, suggest that $β$ CMi may be a product of binary evolution where Roche lobe overflow has spun up the current Be star, likely leaving a hot subdwarf or white dwarf in orbit around the star. Unfortunately, no direct sign of this companion star is found in the very limited archive of {\it International Ultraviolet Explorer} spectra.

description: Across a far-reaching diversity of scientific and industrial applications, a general key problem involves relating the structure of time-series data to a meaningful outcome, such as detecting anomalous events from sensor recordings, or diagnosing patients from physiological time-series measurements like heart rate or brain activity. Currently, researchers must devote considerable effort manually devising, or searching for, properties of their time series that are suitable for the particular analysis problem at hand. Addressing this non-systematic and time-consuming procedure, here we introduce a new tool, hctsa, that selects interpretable and useful properties of time series automatically, by comparing implementations over 7700 time-series features drawn from diverse scientific literatures. Using two exemplar biological applications, we show how hctsa allows researchers to leverage decades of time-series research to quantify and understand informative structure in their time-series data.

description: A better and more complete understanding of family farms is urgently needed to guide policy makers’ efforts towards achieving a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper takes stock of the number of farms worldwide, and their distribution and that of farmland, on the basis of agricultural censuses and survey data. Thus, it shows that there are more than 608 million farms in the world. Rough estimates also indicate that more than 90 percent of these farms are family farms (by our definition) occupying around 70–80 percent of farmland and producing about 80 percent of the world’s food in value terms. We underscore the importance of not referring to family farms and small farms (i.e., those of less than 2 hectares) interchangeably: the latter account for 84 percent of all farms worldwide, but operate only around 12 percent of all agricultural land, and produce roughly 36 percent of the world’s food. The largest 1 percent of farms in the world operate more than 70 percent of the world’s farmland. The stark differences between family farms, in terms of size, their share in farmland distribution, and their patterns across income groups and regions, make clear the importance of properly defining different types of farms and distinguishing their differences when engaging in policy discourse and decision making towards the SDGs. The paper also considers evidence on labour and age provided by the censuses. There is a need to improve agricultural censuses if we want to deepen our understanding of farms.

Плоды обрабатывали 1‑МСР, обертывали в промасленные салфетки, хранили в условиях обычной (ОА), модифицированной (МА), регулируемой атмосферы (РА). Определяли этилен, α-фарнезен (α-ф) и продукты его окисления (КТ281) в плодах, оценивали потери от загара, качество (твердость), определяли этилен в атмосфере хранения, α-ф и КТ281 в промасленных салфетках и в индикаторных лентах (ИЛ), отражающих их содержание в атмосфере. Традиционные технологии хранения плодов яблони в условиях ОА, МА, РА даже в сочетании с обработкой 1‑МСР не гарантируют защиту от загара восприимчивого к заболеванию сорта Мартовское. В салфетках, пропитанных вазелиновым маслом, в которые были упакованы плоды, в ИЛ, размещенных в камере (без контакта с плодами), обнаружено высокоактивное соединение – α-фарнезен, его содержание зависит от особенностей сорта, способа хранения, обработки 1‑МСР и др. Поглощение либо окисление α-фарнезена в атмосфере хранения открывает возможности разработки нового нехимического метода защиты плодов от загара.

description: Изучались некоторые основные и сопутствующие показатели, необходимые для разработки сортовой технологии хранения плодов принципиально новой группы сортов яблони. Наибольшая продолжительность хранения – 135 суток – отмечена у сорта Звезда эфира. Были выявлены и количественно зафиксированы факторы, обуславливающие ненормированные и нормированные потери, снижающие лежкость плодов. Выявлена генотипическая (сортовая) устойчивость плодов изучаемых сортов к физиологическим расстройствам (ФР) и микробиологическим заболеваниям (МЗ) в процессе хранения в температурном режиме +2 °С и показаны сортовые различия в поражаемости ими плодов. По степени устойчивости плодов к большинству заболеваний изучаемые сорта отнесены к группе устойчивых, но необходима дифференцировка после изучения их в других температурных режимах хранения. Меньше подвержены ФР сорта Звезда эфира и Созвездие. С увеличением сроков хранения плодов возрастают потери от естественной убыли массы (ЕУМ). Средние «нормативные» показатели за сентябрь–октябрь составляют 2,0 %, тогда как показатели изучаемых сортов лежат в пределах от 2,45 до 4,68 % у сортов Поэзия и Звезда эфира соответственно. Говорить о неустойчивости изучаемой группы сортов к ЕУМ в процессе хранения преждевременно, учитывая недостаточность изученных показателей. Необходимо продолжение исследований с использованием различных режимов хранения.

description: We present an update to the ultraviolet-to-radio database of global broadband photometry for the 79 nearby galaxies that comprise the union of the KINGFISH (Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel) and SINGS (Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey) samples. The 34-band dataset presented here includes contributions from observational work carried out with a variety of facilities including GALEX, SDSS, PS, NOAO, 2MASS, WISE, Spitzer, Herschel, Planck, JCMT, and the VLA. Improvements of note include recalibrations of previously-published SINGS BVRcIc and KINGFISH far-infrared/submillimeter photometry. Similar to previous results in the literature, an excess of submillimeter emission above model predictions is seen primarily for low-metallicity dwarf/irregular galaxies. This 34-band photometric dataset for the combined KINGFISH$+$SINGS sample serves as an important multi-wavelength reference for the variety of galaxies observed at low redshift. A thorough analysis of the observed spectral energy distributions is carried out in a companion paper.

description: The aim of this study is to identify and investigate scenes and inscriptions relating to the family members of the high officials at the site of Beni Hassan in Middle Egypt with the purpose of revealing how the ancient Egyptians viewed the concept of family, and the position and roles of the individual family members of the tomb owners. The method of investigation is an analysis of the scenes and inscriptions which relate to family members in order to determine the structure of a Middle Kingdom elite family; to study the tradition of marriage, inheritance, and investigate possible cases of polygamy as depicted by inscriptions and iconography; and to determine the role and significance of wives, children, mothers, and fathers in relation to the tomb owner, and the reasons for their inclusion in tomb wall scenes. As a result of this study, it has been possible to determine the structure of a provincial elite class family in the Middle Kingdom. This study reveals that the basic family unit of husband, wife and children prevailed, however, possible evidence for divorce and multiple wives exists.

description: Эффективное функционирование физиологических систем организма определяется наличием эссенциальных веществ, к которым относятся макрои микроэлементы, недостаток которых приводит к различным нарушениям гомеостаза. В связи с этим разработка новых ежедневно употребляемых продуктов питания, обладающих направленным корректирующим воздействием в отношении пищевого статуса организма человека, является важной и актуальной задачей. Обогащение сухарей, галет, хлебцев биологически активными веществами растительного происхождения позволяет получить экономически доступные для широких слоев населения продукты, обладающие длительным сроком годности. Объектами исследований являлись галеты, содержащие обогащающую композицию из частично обезжиренной муки зародышей пшеницы «Витазар» и отрубей пшеничных. В состав образцов галет дополнительно вводили порошок из морской капусты, изолят соевого белка, изолят горохового белка, частично обезжиренную муку семян черного тмина. Контролем служили образцы галет, изготовленные по традиционной технологии. Методом масс-спектрометрии с индуктивно связанной плазмой с помощью квадрупольного масс-спектрометра Nexion 300D (PerkinElmer, США) проанализирован минеральный состав опытных образцов галет. Установлена возможность повышения степени обеспечения потребности организма в широком спектре макрои микроэлементов благодаря введению в состав перечисленных компонентов. По Сa, Mg, Na, Р, Co, Cr, I, Mn обогащенные галеты удовлетворяют суточную потребность организма более чем на 50 %. Разработанные мучные изделия рекомендованы для введения в рацион питания с целью позитивной коррекции пищевого статуса организма человека и профилактики микроэлементозов.

description: In this paper we extend some recent results on an operatorial approach to the description of alliances between political parties interacting among themselves and with a basin of electors. In particular, we propose and compare three different models, deducing the dynamics of their related {\em decision functions}, i.e. the attitude of each party to form or not an alliance. In the first model the interactions between each party and their electors are considered. We show that these interactions drive the decision functions towards certain asymptotic values depending on the electors only: this is the {\em perfect party}, which behaves following the electors' suggestions. The second model is an extension of the first one in which we include a $rule$ which modifies the status of the electors, and of the decision functions as a consequence, at some specific time step. In the third model we neglect the interactions with the electors while we consider cubic and quartic interactions between the parties and we show that we get (slightly oscillating) asymptotic values for the decision functions, close to their initial values. This is the {\em real party}, which does not listen to the electors. Several explicit situations are considered in details and numerical results are also shown.
