description: In order to develop a new structure microwave probe, the fabrication of AFM probe on the GaAs wafer was studied. A waveguide was introduced by evaporating Au film on the top and bottom surfaces of the GaAs AFM probe. A tip having 8 micrometers high, and curvature radius about 50 nm was formed. The dimensions of the cantilever are 250x30x15 micrometers. The open structure of the waveguide at the tip of the probe was introduced by using FIB fabrication. AFM topography of a grating sample was measured by using the fabricated GaAs microwave probe. The fabricated probe was found having nanometer scale resolution, and microwave emission was detected successfully at the tip of the probe by approaching Cr-V steel and Au wire samples.

description: This project focuses on developing a neural network-based approximation for Steady-State-Aware Model Predictive Control (MPC), specifically designed to enhance real-time control performance for quadcopters. By ensuring that the system converges to the desired configuration if it is admissible or to the best admissible configuration, steady-state-aware MPC ensures output tracking and constraint satisfaction in all situations.
description: To further reduce the real-time computational complexity of solving optimization problems that MPC poses for systems with limited computing power, a neural network was trained to approximate the control law of steady-state-aware MPC. This network was trained using data from a steady-state-aware MPC algorithm, which, once trained, could predict control actions based on current and reference states in real time, replicating the behavior of the MPC without the associated computational burden. The neural network-based controller was integrated into the quadcopter’s control loop and tested in both simulation and real-world environments. Results from simulation and experiment demonstrated that the neural network maintains stability provided by steady-state-aware MPC with shorter computation time.

description: The Attacks done by Viruses, Worms, Hackers, etc. are a Network Security-Problem in many Organisations. Current Intrusion Detection Systems have significant Disadvantages, e.g. the need of plenty of Computational Power or the Local Installation. Therefore, we introduce a novel Framework for Network Security which is called SANA. SANA contains an artificial Immune System with artificial Cells which perform certain Tasks in order to to support existing systems to better secure the Network against Intrusions. The Advantages of SANA are that it is efficient, adaptive, autonomous, and massively-distributed. In this Article, we describe the Architecture of the artificial Immune System and the Functionality of the Components. We explain briefly the Implementation and discuss Results.

description: Evolving the size distribution of solid aggregates challenges simulations of young stellar objects. Among other difficulties, generic formulae for stability conditions of explicit solvers provide severe constrains when integrating the coagulation equation for astrophysical objects. Recent numerical experiments have recently reported that these generic conditions may be much too stringent. By analysing the coagulation equation in the Laplace space, we explain why this is indeed the case and provide a novel stability condition which avoids time over-sampling.

description: See Medd et al. (2025, Biological Conservation, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2025.111109) for full details.Abstract from associated paper:We initially speculated that non-tropical North American (USA and Canada) small mammal abundances might have increased over the past several decades due to declines in mammalian predators. To test this idea, we assembled from small mammal researchers 818 time series of small mammal abundances, containing a total of 5,317 individual abundance data points, for 66 species in 21 genera. The resulting database is the largest collection of multi-year abundance data for North American small mammals. We then used a hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach to estimate an overall abundance trend. Contrary to our initial speculation, we found strong support for an overall decline in North American small mammal abundance, with an estimated annual decrease of 3.6%. Sixty species trends were negative while only six were positive. Given this decline and given that small mammals are important for ecosystem function as prey items, as predators, and for seed dispersal, we suggest conservation efforts should be directed to this generally neglected group. In particular, we need further work to uncover the causes and consequences of small mammal declines, and to develop mitigation strategies to avoid further declines North American small mammals.
Host Manipulation by Parasite: An Insight

description: Host manipulation by parasite can be defined as any alteration in host phenotype, induced by a parasite that has altimetry give the benefits to parasite. By altering the host behavior, it is very easy to facilitate the transmission or dispersal of the parasite leading to the completion of its life cycle. The phenotypic traits of a host will be modified either directly or indirectly through modulation in the genes in the parasite genome. Indeed, host manipulation by parasites has been proposed as one of the main concrete examples of extended phenotypes (Dawkins, 1982). These manipulative parasites in an animal population can shape host evolution, influences the ecology of other parasite species, alter the structure of the surrounding animal community etc. Generally, Nematomorpha or Acanthocephala has the ability to alter host behavior (Moore, 1984) and they target to modulate the physiological system, Immune System, and neural system (Lafferty et al., 2013).

description: A Lyapunov-based approach for the trajectory generation of an $N$-dimensional Schr{ö}dinger equation in whole $\RR^N$ is proposed. For the case of a quantum particle in an $N$-dimensional decaying potential the convergence is precisely analyzed. The free system admitting a mixed spectrum, the dispersion through the absolutely continuous part is the main obstacle to ensure such a stabilization result. Whenever, the system is completely initialized in the discrete part of the spectrum, a Lyapunov strategy encoding both the distance with respect to the target state and the penalization of the passage through the continuous part of the spectrum, ensures the approximate stabilization.

Preparation of b-trialkylstannyl-a, b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and their conversion to vinyllithium reagents
Creators: name: Morton, Howard Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The preparation and synthetic utility of various β-trialkylstannyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is described. In this connection, treatment of tetrahydrofuran solutions of Me₃SnLi and n-Bu₃SnLi with one equivalent of PhSCu led to the in situ formation of PhS(Me-₃Sn)CuLi 72 and PhS (n-Bu₃Sn)CuLi 73, respectively. The latter reagents readily transferred, in a conjugate sense, the trialkyl-stannyl group to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl systems. In particular, these trialkylstannylcuprate reagents efficiently transformed β-iodo enones 4 into β-trialkylstannyl-α, β-unsaturated ketones 11, a new class of organotin derivatives. Likewise, treatment of the β-iodo enones 4_with Me₃SnCu • LiBr • SMe₂ 94, prepared by the reaction of Me₃SnLi with one equivalent of Me₂S*CuBr, gave the corresponding 6-trimethylstannyl enones in good yield. Two of these β-trialkylstannyl enones, β-trimetehyl-stannyl-2-cyclohexen-l-one 70 and β-tri-n-butylstannyl-2-cyclohexen-l-one, 74 were transformed into the vinylithium reagent 111. Sequential treatment of the enones 70 and 74 with lithium diisopropylamide and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide gave the enol silyl ethers 110 and 108, respectively. Transmetalation of the compounds 110 and 108 was accomplished by treatment of these substances with 1.1 equivalent of an alkyllithium reagent. Reaction of the resultant vinyllithium reagent 111 with electrophilic reagents proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes in good yield. The reaction of PhS(Me₃Sn)CuLi 72 with various a, 6-acetylenic esters is also described. The course of the reaction could be controlled experimentally so as to produce, highly stereoselectively, either the (E) - or the (Z)-β-trimethylstannyl-α, β-unsaturated esters. Treatment (THF, -78°C) of PhS (Me₃Sn)CuLi 72 with a, β-acetylenic esters in the presence of a proton source (e.g., MeOH) gave the corresponding (E)-S-trimethylstannyl-a,g-unsaturated esters in good yield. Reaction of 7_2 with α,β-acetylenic esters at slightly higher temperatures (-48°C) in the absence of a proton source resulted in the formation of the corresponding (Z)-isomers. Reaction of ethyl (Z)-3 -tosyloxyacrylate 180 with Me₃SnCu*LiBr-SMe₂ 94 and n-Bu₃SnCu•LiBr*SMe₂ 181 gave the corresponding (Z)-β-trialkylstannylacrylates. Finally, two of the β-trimethylstannyl esters, ethyl (E)-3-trimethy1stanny1-2-butenoate 163 and ethyl (Z)-3-trimethylstannyl-2-butenoate 166, were converted into the geometrically isomeric trimethylstannyl dienes 184 and 185, respectively. Both of these substances underwent rapid and complete transmetalation when treated with 1.2 equivalents of methyllithium in tetrahydrofuran. The resultant 4-lithio-l,3-pentadienes (186 , 187) reacted smoothly with a variety of electrophiles to produce the corresponding substituted dienes (192 and 193).

description: Evaluation in NLP is usually done by comparing the scores of competing systems independently averaged over a common set of test instances. In this work, we question the use of averages for aggregating evaluation scores into a final number used to decide which system is best, since the average, as well as alternatives such as the median, ignores the pairing arising from the fact that systems are evaluated on the same test instances. We illustrate the importance of taking the instance-level pairing of evaluation scores into account and demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, the advantages of aggregation methods based on pairwise comparisons, such as the Bradley-Terry (BT) model, a mechanism based on the estimated probability that a given system scores better than another on the test set. By re-evaluating 296 real NLP evaluation setups across four tasks and 18 evaluation metrics, we show that the choice of aggregation mechanism matters and yields different conclusions as to which systems are state of the art in about 30% of the setups. To facilitate the adoption of pairwise evaluation, we release a practical tool for performing the full analysis of evaluation scores with the mean, median, BT, and two variants of BT (Elo and TrueSkill), alongside functionality for appropriate statistical testing.

description: We consider the solutions of the Guderley problem, consisting of an imploding strong shock wave in an ideal gas with a power law initial density profile. The self-similar solutions, and specifically the similarity exponent which determines the behavior of the accelerating shock, are studied in detail, for cylindrical and spherical symmetries and for a wide range of the adiabatic index and the spatial density exponent. We then demonstrate how the analytic solutions can be reproduced in Lagrangian hydrodynamic codes, thus demonstrating their usefulness as a code validation and verification test problem.

description: For a set of operating conditions and coating color formulations, undesirable phenomena like color spitting and coating ribs may be triggered in the Micro-nip during the coating process. Therefore, our interest in this work focus on another parameter affect on the undesirable phenomena as the vortices in the Micro-nip. The problem deals with the flow through the Micro-nip of metering size press. The flow enters and exits at a tangential velocity of 20 m/s between two rollers with diameter 80 cm and 60 -m apart. In the upper and bottom part of the domain the angular velocity is 314 rad /s. It has one sub-domain. Previous studies focus on the Micro-nip without considering the inertia and the viscoelasticity of the material. Roll coating is a technique commonly used in the coating industry to meter a thin fluid film on a moving substrate. During the film formation, the fluid is subjected to very high shear and extensional rates over a very short period of time. The fluid domain changes as a function of the hydrodynamic pressure within the nip as a result of the deformable cover usually used on one of the rolls. The free surface also adds more complexity to the flow due to the force equilibrium in the fluid gas interface. Last of all, the rheological behavior of the coating fluid is usually non-Newtonian, so the metering flow hydrodynamics is finally very difficult to describe. It is concluded that the normal forces of micro-nip increases with increasing the inhibitors. Therefore, it affects on the smoothness and creates defects. On the other hand, it can be concluded that the creation of big vortex in the middle of micro-nip affects on the coating liquid behavior.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The work in this thesis was undertaken in order to determine the kinetic factors responsible for the regioselectivity in enol ether formation in 2—vinylcyclopropyl cyclohexyl ketone systems. Conversion of commercially available 4-carbethoxy-3-methyl-2-cyclo-hexen-l-one (106) into 3,3-dimethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid chloride (.105) was accomplished via a straightforward sequence of reactions. Treatment of (105) with lithium (phenylthio)(cis-2-vinylcyclopropyl)cuprate (33) afforded the ketone (101). Alternatively, reaction of (105) with a mixture of the cuprate reagent (33) and the isomeric reagent (34), followed by base-catalyzed equilibration of the resultant mixture of ketones, provided the ketone (103). Hydrogenation of c_is-2-vinylcyclopropyl cyclohexyl ketone (89) with diimide provided the ketone (104). Treatment of the ketone (101) with lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran at -78°C, followed by trapping of the resultant mixture of enolate anions with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, gave a mixture of the enol silyl ethers (120) and (121) , in a ratio of 12 : 88. Thermolysis of the latter mixture (160°C, neat) afforded a mixture of the annulated materials (122) and (123) (ratio ~14 : 86), which, upon acid hydrolysis under mild conditions, gave the cycloheptenone (127) and compound (123). The latter two substances could be separated by column chromatography. Subjection of the ketone (103) to a sequence of reactions similar to that described above (lithium diisopropylamide, tetrahydrofuran; tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride; thermolysis, 240°C, neat; acid hydrolysis) gave the final products (127) and (123) in a ratio of 87 : 13, respectively. Treatment of cis-2-ethylcyclopropyl cyclohexyl ketone (104) with lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran, followed by trapping of the resultant mixture of enolate anions with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride afforded the two enol silyl ethers (125) and (126) in a ratio of 1:1. The results summarized above are discussed in terms of the factors which might be affecting the regioselectivity of kinetic deprotonation of 2-vinylcyclopropyl cyclohexyl ketone systems.

description: The purpose of this paper is to apply characteristics of residual stress that causes cantilever beams to bend for manufacturing a micro-structured gas flow sensor. This study uses a silicon wafer deposited silicon nitride layers, reassembled the gas flow sensor with four cantilever beams that perpendicular to each other and manufactured piezoresistive structure on each micro-cantilever by MEMS technologies, respectively. When the cantilever beams are formed after etching the silicon wafer, it bends up a little due to the released residual stress induced in the previous fabrication process. As air flows through the sensor upstream and downstream beam deformation was made, thus the airflow direction can be determined through comparing the resistance variation between different cantilever beams. The flow rate can also be measured by calculating the total resistance variations on the four cantilevers.

description: A new technique was developed for studying the mechanical behavior of nano-scale thin metal films on substrate is presented. The test structure was designed on a novel "paddle" cantilever beam specimens with dimensions as few hundred nanometers to less than 10 nanometers. This beam is in triangle shape in order to provide uniform plane strain distribution. Standard clean room processing was used to prepare the paddle sample. The experiment can be operated by using the electrostatic deflection on the paddle uniform distributed stress cantilever beam and then measure the deposited thin metal film materials on top of it. A capacitance technique was used to measurement on the other side of the deflected plate to measure its deflection with respect to the force. The measured strain was converted through the capacitance measurement for the deflection of the cantilever. System performance on the residual stress measurement of thin films are calculated with three different forces on the "paddle" cantilever beam, including the force due to the film, compliance force and electrostatic force.

description: The essential removal of sericin from raw silk during degumming using hot alkali solution results in disposal of 25% of proteins and large amounts of effluents. The protein (sericin) disposed with the effluent has unique properties and suitable for medical, cosmetic and many other applications. Despite its distinct properties and high value, sericin (1–2%) in the degumming liquor is not recovered and usually discarded as a waste mainly due to the economically and technical challenges in its recovery. In this research, we have designed a new green and sustainable electrochemical process to recover sericin in the degumming waste water. Since sericin contains both positively and negatively charged amino acids, an electrochemical cell was created, and the sericin in the degumming solution was forced to move toward one of the terminals in the cell. Excellent separation of the proteins at the electrodes resulted in the recovery of up to 75% of sericin. The sericin collected at the electrode formed lumps and could be easily collected and dried. Analysis of these properties showed that the sericin had molecular weight between 14 and 40 kDa. NMR, FTIR revealed that the electrochemically separated sericin had properties similar to that of sericin recovered using normal approaches.
Value-Feelings and Disvalue-Feelings. A Phenomenological Approach to Self-Knowledge

description: As fascinating as it is insidious, the question of self-knowledge goes on tormenting, as a kind of Silenus, philosophers of every period. Without any pretence of exhausting the subject, I would like to briefly stress some “ecological virtues” of the Schelerian view of self-knowledge.
In the face of other models of self-knowledge, which do not provide an adequate account of our bodily experience and of its role in the process of formation of our psycho-physical identity – I am referring, for example, to the “constitutive” view – Scheler’s model of self-knowledge, understood from an ecological viewpoint, provides a good elucidation in terms of the vital relevance of specific feelings, such as bodily feelings of shame or feelings of well-being, that contribute to our self-sense and to our being, more or less, openly oriented towards a set of value-qualities of our environment. Scheler’s model of self-knowledge also provides a good elucidation, in terms of “mortal” relevance, of specific feelings, such as resentment or spite, that involve instead our closedness to our environment and sometimes the withering away or death of our self-sense.

description: Domain-specific systems-on-chip (DSSoCs) aim at bridging the gap between application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and general-purpose processors. Traditional operating system (OS) schedulers can undermine the potential of DSSoCs since their execution times can be orders of magnitude larger than the execution time of the task itself. To address this problem, we propose a dynamic adaptive scheduling (DAS) framework that combines the benefits of a fast (low-overhead) scheduler and a slow (sophisticated, high-performance but high-overhead) scheduler. Experiments with five real-world streaming applications show that DAS consistently outperforms both the fast and slow schedulers. For 40 different workloads, DAS achieves on average 1.29x speedup and 45% lower EDP compared to the sophisticated scheduler at low data rates and 1.28x speedup and 37% lower EDP than the fast scheduler when the workload complexity increases.

description: A framework is developed for a robust and highly accurate numerical solution of the coupled Stokes-Darcy system in three dimensions. The domain decomposition method is based on a Dirichlet-Neumann type splitting of the interface conditions and solving separate Stokes and Darcy problems iteratively. Second kind boundary integral equations are formulated for each problem. The integral equations use a smoothing of the kernels that achieves high accuracy on the boundary, and a straightforward quadrature to discretize the integrals. Numerical results demonstrate the convergence, accuracy, and dependence on parameter values of the iterative solution for a problem of viscous flow around a porous sphere with a known analytical solution, as well as more general surfaces.

description: This study investigates a high Q-factor spiral inductor fabricated by the CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process and a post-process. The spiral inductor is manufactured on silicon substrate using the 0.35 micrometers CMOS process. In order to reduce the substrate loss and enhance the Q-factor of the inductor, silicon substrate under the inductor is removed using a post-process. The post-process uses RIE (reactive ion etching) to etch the sacrificial layer of silicon dioxide, and then TMAH (tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide) is employed to remove the underlying silicon substrate and obtain the suspended spiral inductor. The advantage of the post process is compatible with the CMOS process. The Agilent 8510C network analyzer and a Cascade probe station are used to measure the performances of the spiral inductor. Experiments indicate that the spiral inductor has a Q-factor of 15 at 11 GHz, an inductance of 4 nH at 25.5 GHz and a self-resonance frequency of about 27 GHz.

description: Comme de nombreux pays occidentaux, la France a récemment lancé une vague importante de réformes destinées à concentrer plus nettement les crédits publics sur les « meilleurs » chercheurs, laboratoires et établissements. Ce Policy brief explore l’appropriation par les chercheurs en biologie de l’un de ces programmes, les laboratoires d’excellence (LABEX). Les résultats de cette enquête montrent que la mise en œuvre de cet instrument est difficilement réductible à des catégories binaires, comme l’échec ou la réussite. Dans bien des cas, les LABEX ont conforté des dynamiques déjà à l’œuvre, sans initier des réorientations profondes des agendas ou des pratiques de recherche quand elles ne correspondaient pas aux objectifs de ces appels à projets. Mais conclure à un échec de la mesure serait réducteur : les LABEX ont été appropriés par les biologistes, qui louent la souplesse de l’instrument et son utilité. Ils y ont trouvé paradoxalement un moyen de pallier le caractère compétitif et temporaire des financements de la recherche en biologie en faisant des LABEX un outil de réduction des inégalités et des incertitudes financières qui marquent aujourd’hui le travail de recherche en biologie.
description: Like many Western countries, France has recently launched a major wave of reforms that aimed to concentrate public funding more clearly on the “best” researchers, laboratories and universities. This policy brief analyses how biologists have appropriated one of these programs – the Laboratoires d’excellence (laboratories of excellence – LABEX). The results of this survey show that the implementation of this instrument is difficult to reduce to binary categories, such as failure or success. In many cases, LABEXs have reinforced dynamics already at work, without initiating major reorientations of agendas or research practices when they did not correspond to the objectives of these calls for proposals. But to conclude that the measure failed would be simplistic: biologists appropriated LABEXs and praise the flexibility of the instrument and its usefulness. Paradoxically, they found a way to overcome the competitive and temporary nature of biological research funding by using LABEX as a tool to reduce inequalities and financial uncertainties.

description: Strong control over experimental conditions in microfluidic channels provides a unique opportunity to study and optimize membraneless microbial fuel cells (MFCs), particularly with respect to the role of flow. However, improved performance and transferability of results to the wider MFC community require improvements to device stability under all applied operational conditions. To address these challenges, we present an easy-to-fabricate membraneless MFC that combines (i) O2 elimination via a gas diffusion barrier, (ii) integrated graphite electrodes, and (iii) optimized electrode placement to avoid of cross-contamination under all applied flow rates. Attention to all of these design features in the same platform resulted in operation of a MFC with a pure-culture anaerobic Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilm for half a year, six times longer than previously reported, without the use of an oxygen scavenger. As a result of higher device stability under high flow rates, power densities were four times higher than reported previously for microfluidic MFCs with the same biofilm.

The Affective Shape Perception and the Encounter of Others

Year: 2016
Subjects: Intersubjectivity; Perception; Expressivity

description: The problem of intersubjectivity, widely and heatedly debated in the different domains of Philosophy, Cognitive Sciences, Neurosciences and Psychology, displays today a diverse panorama of theories that don’t always allow to explore the problem of affectivity. What I claim in my paper is that, in order to understand the problem from its roots, a redefinition of perception is necessary. After analyzing Scheler’s theories of Leib and expressivity as a starting point and finding evidence of their validity in specific neurobiological studies, the concept of perception that emerges loses every possible neutral and mere passive character as we discover it to be affectively shaped through values, emotions, personal experiences. Keeping in mind such characteristics, it is possible to understand the experience of others as an embodied, interactive and concrete encounter, that leads us to call into question the main theories of mind in the Cognitive Sciences and reminds us of the role the others play in shaping us.

description: In this study, astaxanthin was recovered from Antarctic krill waste via thermo-reversible biphasic system composed of phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and water. The phase behavior and physical properties of the mixtures were investigated. The astaxanthin extraction was compared with organic solvents and pure ILs, and the extraction mechanism was revealed through Quantum chemical computation. Moreover, the stability of the extract was evaluated. The extracted residue was further used as a biosorbent to remove methyl blue and Congo red from waste water. Results showed the [P4444]CF3COO-water system presented lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase behavior, while the [P4448]CF3COO-water system presented an upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type phase behavior. Astaxanthin has a tendency to migrate to the IL-rich phase due to the hydrogen bond between ILs and astaxanthin. The highest extraction yield of astaxanthin reached 35.78 μg/g by using the [P4444]CF3COO-water system at 308.15 K at a solid–liquid ratio of 1:40 g/mL and an extraction time of 75 min. In addition, the extracted residue with spongy and porous surface showed high removal efiiciency of Congo red (92.6%) and methylene blue (97.31%). The study provides an efficient and environmentally friendly method to selectively extract astaxanthin from natural bioresources.
