description: Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic skin and joint condition that considerably affects patient quality of life. Several studies have demonstrated different associations of genetic polymorphisms in the pathogenic process of PsA. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of polymorphisms in the cytokines TNF, IL12B, IL23A, and IL23R on PsA risk. Methods: We screened 1,097 abstracts and identified 14 relevant studies published between January 2007 and December 2017. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases. Meta-analyses were performed for the comparisons of alleles and multiple genetic models. Results: Among the cytokines studied, we found 17 polymorphisms that were the most investigated. The association to PsA was observed in the presence of polymorphisms: TNF-238 G > A (rs361525), −308 G > A (rs1800629), and −857 C > T (rs1799724); IL12B C > G (rs6887695) and A > C (rs3212227); IL23A A > G (rs2066808) and IL23R G > A (rs11209026). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that these variant cytokine genes may strongly influence the immunological response of PsA.

description: We study the long time dynamics of a quantum version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. Time reparametrizations of the dynamical equations have a parallel with renormalization group transformations, and within this language the long time behaviour of this model is controlled by a reparametrization group (R$_p$G) fixed point of the classical dynamics. The irrelevance of the quantum terms in the dynamical equations in the aging regime explains the classical nature of the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

description: In-plane magnetic field photoluminescence spectra from a series of GaAs/AlGaAs coupled double quantum wells show distinctive doublet structures related to the symmetric and antisymmetric states. The magnetic field behavior of the upper transition from the antisymmetric state strongly depends on sample mobility. In lower mobility samples, the transition energy shows an $\cal N$-type kink with fields (namely a maximum followed by a minimum), whereas higher mobility samples have a linear dependence. The former is due to a homogeneous broadening of electron and hole states and the results are in good agreement with theoretical calculations.

description: Efficient and rapid control of rapidly evolving and unconventional epidemics in the early stage plays a vital role in the whole cycle of epidemic prevention. This study introduces a novel epidemic management framework. It integrates epidemic evolution, government responses, and logistics processes to allocate limited intervention resources across geographic regions. We first design a general four-phase government response model to describe government behaviour during the early stage of controlling an unconventional epidemic. An improved epidemic model is subsequently developed to simulate the spread of infectious diseases. We introduce mutual rescue with a self-protect pattern to use limited resources best while considering both global prevention and self-protect. Finally, we propose an epidemics–response–logistics integration mathematical model. The case study of COVID-19 in Hubei Province shows that our proposed mutual rescue pattern can effectively reduce the number of infected individuals. Moreover, the analysis of the different measures of anti-epidemic and relevant parameters provides valuable suggestions for epidemic control. The proposed modelling framework can also be generalised to the prevention and control of the early stage of other unconventional epidemics.

description: Agency can be defined as the ability of an individual and/or a group to enact power and choice in their surrounding environments. Our understandings of and experiences of agency play tremendous roles in how we experience the world and engage in it, both individually and in community. While often agency is discussed in terms of individual choice and action, literature from the social sciences and critical theory tend to approach the concept of agency in more collective terms, as a phenomenon that is influenced by larger structures and systems and by the unique context of any given moment. Within academic librarianship, our views and experiences of agency are affected largely by our relationships to communities within and beyond various library circles. This is reflected in findings of a survey on academic instruction librarians’ conceptions and experiences of agency that the presenter conducted in 2021. This interactive workshop will begin with a brief introduction to the concept of agency through an ecological lens, one that takes into account the complex environments and systems in which individuals and groups find themselves and in which they interact. The presenter will then draw from findings of her 2021 survey on librarians’ experiences of teacher agency and share examples of librarians’ working to foster and to grow professional community and to encourage cultures of individual and shared agency. Participants will then engage with the following activities and objectives: Explore experiences of individual and shared agency, including in relation to community and community building. Generate ideas for further growing professional communities that support and sustain librarians as individuals and as collectives, and that allow space for shared understandings and values alongside differing views and dissensus.

description: Recent study of ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs has brought us a number of new taxa; however, the validity of several ophthalmosaurid taxa from the Volgian (Tithonian) of European Russia still remains unclear, complicating comparisons and in some cases affecting taxonomic decisions about new contributions. A revision of the type series of all three species of Undorosaurus, erected by Efimov in 1999, reveals the potential validity of two of them. This contradicts previous research, which concluded that only the type species, U. gorodischensis, is valid. Furthermore, examination of the holotype of Cryopterygius kristiansenae from coeval strata of Svalbard shows that it is synonymous with Undorosaurus gorodischensis, sharing all diagnostic features of the species, especially those related to forelimb morphology: humerus with extensive anteroposteriorly elongate proximal end, poorly pronounced trochanter dorsalis and reduced deltopectoral crest; and ulna proximodistally elongate and not involved in perichondral ossification on its whole posterior edge. This supports the idea of intensive exchange of ichthyosaurs between the Middle Russian Sea and other Boreal seas in the Late Jurassic. In order to resolve the phylogenetic position of Undorosaurus within Ophthalmosauridae as well as relationships of other ophthalmosaurids, a new data set including 33 taxa and 106 characters, 23 of which are new, was compiled. The results of this analysis challenge all previous phylogenetic hypotheses for Ophthalmosauridae in a number of aspects, including the fact that Undorosaurus spp. was recovered deeply nested within Platypterygiinae as a sister group to derived platypterygiines.
Generation of arbitrary all-photonic graph states from quantum emitters

description: We present protocols to generate arbitrary photonic graph states from quantum emitters that are in principle deterministic. We focus primarily on two-dimensional cluster states of arbitrary size due to their importance for measurement-based quantum computing. Our protocols for these and many other types of two-dimensional graph states require a linear array of emitters in which each emitter can be controllably pumped, rotated about certain axes, and entangled with its nearest neighbors. We show that an error on one emitter produces a localized region of errors in the resulting graph state, where the size of the region is determined by the coordination number of the graph. We describe how these protocols can be implemented for different types of emitters, including trapped ions, quantum dots, and nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.

description: In preoperative imaging, the demarcation of rectal cancer with magnetic resonance images provides an important basis for cancer staging and treatment planning. Recently, deep learning has greatly improved the state-of-the-art method in automatic segmentation. However, limitations in data availability in the medical field can cause large variance and consequent overfitting to medical image segmentation networks. In this study, we propose methods to reduce the model variance of a rectal cancer segmentation network by adding a rectum segmentation task and performing data augmentation; the geometric correlation between the rectum and rectal cancer motivated the former approach. Moreover, we propose a method to perform a bias-variance analysis within an arbitrary region-of-interest (ROI) of a segmentation network, which we applied to assess the efficacy of our approaches in reducing model variance. As a result, adding a rectum segmentation task reduced the model variance of the rectal cancer segmentation network within tumor regions by a factor of 0.90; data augmentation further reduced the variance by a factor of 0.89. These approaches also reduced the training duration by a factor of 0.96 and a further factor of 0.78, respectively. Our approaches will improve the quality of rectal cancer staging by increasing the accuracy of its automatic demarcation and by providing rectum boundary information since rectal cancer staging requires the demarcation of both rectum and rectal cancer. Besides such clinical benefits, our method also enables segmentation networks to be assessed with bias-variance analysis within an arbitrary ROI, such as a cancerous region.

description: We propose numerical simulations of the Ashkin-Teller model as a foil for theoretical techniques for studying very weakly first-order phase transitions in three dimensions. The Ashkin-Teller model is a simple two-spin model whose parameters can be adjusted so that it has an arbitrarily weakly first-order phase transition. In this limit, there are quantities characterizing the first-order transition which are universal: we measure the relative discontinuity of the specific heat, the correlation length, and the susceptibility across the transition by Monte Carlo simulation.

description: Cross-talk between the W^+ and W^- sources of hadron production at LEP2 offers a hope to learn about basic properties of QCD, but at the same time threatens high-precision measurements of the W boson mass. Directly visible effects are not expected to be large, however. It is, therefore, important to develop methods to measure the level of interconnection in the data --- `connectometers'. In this article we study one particular set of observables, namely the reduced rate of low-momentum particle production caused by reconnection. In realistic scenarios the expected signals are at the border of visibility, but not quite beyond reach. Special studies on kaons and protons, or with other subsets of the data, could provide supporting evidence. We also show how LEP1 Z$^0$ events could be used to define an alternative reference sample.

description: The cultural characteristics of fungi can provide useful information for studying the biology and ecology of a group of closely related species, but these features are often overlooked in the order Polyporales. Optimal temperature and growth rate data can also be of utility for strain selection of cultivated fungi such as reishi (i.e., laccate Ganoderma species) and potential novel management tactics (e.g., solarization) for butt rot diseases caused by Ganoderma species. Historically, the taxonomy of the laccate (shiny) Ganoderma species has been unresolved and many species have been treated together as G. lucidum. The cultural characteristics of Ganoderma species from the United States are needed to understand the biology of these unique species that have all been lumped under this name. Culture morphology, average growth rate, optimal temperatures, and resiliency to elevated temperature exposure were characterized for isolates of Ganodermataceae taxa from the eastern United States, including Ganoderma curtisii, G. martinicense, G. meredithiae, G. ravenelii, G. sessile, G. tsugae, G. tuberculosum, G. cf. weberianum, G. zonatum, and Tomophagus colossus. We documented differences in linear growth rates and optimal temperatures between taxa. Isolates of G. sessile and T. colossus grew the fastest, and isolates of G. meredithiae, G. ravenelii, and G. tsugae grew the slowest. Isolates of G. sessile, G. martinicense, G. cf. weberianum, and T. colossus constitutively produced chlamydospores on malt extract agar, and these species were the only species to survive long-term exposure (30 or 40 d) to 40 C. We hypothesize that chlamydospores function as survival structures that serve as propagules resilient to adverse temperature conditions, especially heat. Cultural characteristics of G. martinicense, G. ravenelii, G. tuberculosum, and G. cf. weberianum collected from the United States are described for the first time.

description: Abstract

This research aimed to study the impact of social media marketing on customer satisfaction through brand image. The primary concern regarding humanitarian programs in the developing world is that they do not address the more massive socio-economic challenges; hence, not being sustainable. The majority of these programs have been in operation for many years and have attracted funding from external and internal donors but has not translated into their economic and social empowerment due to poor project management practices. Hence, the study sought determine procurement management practice and project performance in Deeg-Roor Medical Organization (DMO) in Baidoa district.

Specifically, the study sought to determine stakeholder involvement, project planning, risk management, and monitoring and evaluation of programme performance. The study was anchored on the stakeholder theory, prospect theory, contingency theory, and realistic evaluation theory. This study adopted a census research design. The population targeted were staff of the Deeg-Roor Medical Organization (DMO) in Baidoa district comprising project managers, project coordinators, quality control officers and beneficiary representatives. A semi-structured questionnaire was adopted for primary data collection. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were utilized to analyze the quantitative data, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The results were presented using graphs and tables.

The study concludes that to determine procurement management practice and project performance in Deeg-Roor Medical Organization (DMO) in Baidoa district, followed by stakeholder involvement, Project Planning, and monitoring and evaluation, respectively. The study recommended a need to develop more rigorous strategies for making sure that appropriate monitoring and evaluation processes are adhered to. Further, the program needs to emphasize risk management linked to the economy's empowerment and make staff education on mitigation strategies its priority.

description: We consider two complexes. The first complex is the twisted de Rham complex of scalar meromorphic differential forms on projective line, holomorphic on the complement to a finite set of points. The second complex is the chain complex of the Lie algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-valued algebraic functions on the same complement, with coefficients in a tensor product of contragradient Verma modules over the affine Lie algebra $\hat{{\mathfrak{sl}_2}}$. In [Schechtman V., Varchenko A., Mosc. Math. J. 17 (2017), 787-802] a construction of a monomorphism of the first complex to the second was suggested and it was indicated that under this monomorphism the existence of singular vectors in the Verma modules (the Malikov-Feigin-Fuchs singular vectors) is reflected in the relations between the cohomology classes of the de Rham complex. In this paper we prove these results.

description: Sea-level rise (SLR) is not just a future trend; it is occurring now in most coastal regions across the globe. It thus impacts not only long-range planning in coastal environments, but also emergency preparedness. Its inevitability and irreversibility on long time scales, in addition to its spatial non-uniformity, uncertain magnitude and timing, and capacity to drive non-stationarity in coastal flooding on planning and engineering timescales, create unique challenges for coastal risk-management decision processes. This review assesses past United States federal efforts to synthesize evolving SLR science in support of coastal risk management. In particular, it outlines the: (1) evolution in global SLR scenarios to those using a risk-based perspective that also considers low-probability but high-consequence outcomes, (2) regionalization of the global scenarios, and (3) use of probabilistic approaches. It also describes efforts to further contextualize regional scenarios by combining local mean sea-level changes with extreme water level projections. Finally, it offers perspectives on key issues relevant to the future uptake, interpretation, and application of sea-level change scenarios in decision-making. These perspectives have utility for efforts to craft standards and guidance for preparedness and resilience measures to reduce the risk of coastal flooding and other impacts related to SLR.

description: We present a model for thin film growth by particle deposition that takes into account the possible evaporation of the particles deposited on the surface. Our model focuses on the formation of two-dimensional structures. We find that the presence of evaporation can dramatically affect the growth kinetics of the film, and can give rise to regimes characterized by different ``growth'' exponents and island size distributions. Our results are obtained by extensive computer simulations as well as through a simple scaling approach and the analysis of rate equations describing the system. We carefully discuss the relationship of our model with previous studies by Venables and Stoyanov of the same physical situation, and we show that our analysis is more general.

description: We investigate the advantages of extracting the degree of entanglement in bipartite systems directly from tomograms, as it is the latter that are readily obtained from experiments. This would provide a superior alternative to the standard procedure of assessing the extent of entanglement between subsystems after employing the machinery of state reconstruction from the tomogram. The latter is both cumbersome and involves statistical methods, while a direct inference about entanglement from the tomogram circumvents these limitations. In an earlier paper, we had identified a procedure to obtain a bipartite entanglement indicator directly from tomograms. To assess the efficacy of this indicator, we now carry out a detailed investigation using two nonlinear bipartite models by comparing this tomographic indicator with standard markers of entanglement such as the subsystem linear entropy and the subsystem von Neumann entropy and also with a commonly-used indicator obtained from inverse participation ratios. The two model systems selected for this purpose are a multilevel atom interacting with a radiation field, and a double-well Bose-Einstein condensate. The role played by the specific initial states of these two systems in the performance of the tomographic indicator is also examined. Further, the efficiency of the tomographic entanglement indicator during the dynamical evolution of the system is assessed from a time-series analysis of the difference between this indicator and the subsystem von Neumann entropy.

description: This thesis explores several titania-based composites for photocatalytic water treatment and hydrogen evolution. For water treatment, TiO$_2$-C core-shell composites were prepared through controlled hydrolysis of titanium alkoxides followed by calcination in a non-oxygenating atmosphere. A total of nine TiO$_2$-C samples were synthesized by combining different alkoxides and solvents. The sub-micron sized composites displayed eight times faster photocatalytic activity for degradation of aqueous methylene blue under simulated sunlight compared to pristine TiO$_2$. Particle size of the best performing TiO$_2$-C catalyst was further reduced through hydrolysis with aqueous KCl. The resulting nanoparticles (~10 nm) displayed a comparable rate of photodegradation for methylene blue with only 1/5th catalyst loading by weight. This nano-sized powder composite (nanocomposite) photocatalyst was also tested for photodegradation of other dyes, pharmaceuticals and Escherichia coli bacteria. The photo-activity was found to be at par or better than several state-of-art TiO$_2$-C materials reported in the literature and approximately twice as better as standard commercially available TiO$_2$ (P25). Second part of the thesis explores three different nickel-based cocatalysts for TiO$_2$ for visible-light driven hydrogen evolution. Composites containing Ni(OH)$_2$, NiO, and Ni$_2$P were prepared and the effects of loading concentration and synthesis method on the rate of hydrogen evolution were studied. It was observed that hydrogen evolution could be achieved in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium). Catalysts with Ni(OH)$_2$ and Ni$_2$P displayed significant photoactivity, in which highest rate of hydrogen production was achieved with TiO$_2$-Ni$_2$P nanoparticles. The prepared catalyst also displayed excellent long-term stability under continuous illumination tested for seven days. The final section of this thesis reports on the synthesis and visible-light activity of a hybrid Bi$_0.5$Na$_0.5$TiO$_3$-BiOCl (BNT-BiOCl) ferroelectric photocatalyst. The parent ferroelectric BNT microparticles were prepared by solid-oxide reaction route and BiOCl growth on surface was achieved by treatment with dilute HCl. Despite a large bandgap and large particle size (>1 µm), the composite photocatalyst displayed a high rate of rhodamine B degradation under visible light. The high photoactivity was attributed to the heterojunction formed between the two phases, which improved charge separation.

title: All fired up: A long-term fire history of the coastal boreal forest of Newfoundland, Canada
Creators: name: Walker, Leah C.

description: Little is known about the long-term fire history of coastal boreal forests in Atlantic Canada, particularly of Newfoundland. Establishing historical fire regimes is essential to wildfire management and projecting future wildfire activity. We radiocarbon-dated and botanically identified soil charcoal to resolve the long-term fire history of Terra Nova National Park (TNNP) in eastern Newfoundland. Typically, dendrochronology or lake sediment cores are used to reconstruct fire histories; yet, a soil charcoal approach produces a longer time-scale than dendrochronology and a finer spatial resolution than lacustrine sediment understanding of past fire events. Charcoal ages ranged from 7528 to 64 cal. years BP. The 150 year fire return interval for the park was consistent with other eastern boreal forest stands. We found charcoal of spruce, balsam fir, pine, birch, and maple. The proportion of black spruce increased in the Central Newfoundland Forest, while the proportion of balsam fir increased in the North Shore Forest from the past to present-day. Our results directly inform the wildfire management plan in TNNP to enhance black spruce regeneration, improve overall forest health, and decrease fire risk.

description: By the reaction of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde with ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and hydrazine hydrate, pyranopyrazole derivative as an active biological compound was prepared and then reacted with salicylaldehyde and MnCl2·4H2O to give nano-Mn-[3-nitrophenyl-salicylaldimine-methylpyranopyrazole]Cl2 (nano-[Mn-3NSMP]Cl2). The presented nano-Schiff base complex was fully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal gravimetric (DTG), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and applied as an efficient and new catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted-imidazoles.
The Chern-Simons number as an order parameter : classical sphaleron transitions for SU(2)-Higgs field theories for a Higgs mass approximately equal to 120 GeV

description: The classical transitions between topologically distinct vacua in a SU(2)-Higgs model, using a Higgs field of mass approximately 120 GeV, is examined to probe the crossover region between the symmetric and broken phase. Assuming the Higgs mass is constant, we find the width of this crossover region is approximately 20% of the average temperature. We suggest that this observable is a better parameter to explore this region of phase space than equal-time correlation functions.

description: In Condensed Matter Physics, the computational expense to evaluate the total potential energy of a collection of atoms using standard ab initio methods is typically large. This limits the scale of phenomena that can be studied in both length and time. Data-driven techniques have established a pragmatic extension to ab initio calculations, balancing reductions in the calculation time with potential losses of accuracy in the properties of interest. Both paradigms compliment one another and when used appropriately, are valuable tools that enable and stimulate research in Materials Science. Unlike traditional efforts, modern techniques to include data employ flexible functional forms, extending the applicability of such methods to a diverse range of physical quantities. Recently, interest in utilising data in total energy calculations has turned towards the electron density. With an electron density that is close to the ground state, data-derived kinetic energy functionals in orbital-free density functional theory can be applied to evaluate the total energy without using gradients of the functional with respect to the electron density. For this purpose, a number of approaches to calculate data-derived densities have been proposed in recent years. In this thesis, we begin by reviewing several fixed-form expressions to approximate the potential energy of hexagonal layered crystals and show how a flexible form is essential to fully utilise the available data. We then focus on developing new approaches to approximate ground state electron densities and on novel applications that help to further unify data-driven and ab initio techniques within electronic structure. By calculating reliable uncertainty estimates, we show that data-derived densities can be incorporated into density functional theory in a “safe” manner. We also show that with accurate initial densities and for systems that otherwise have a poor initial estimate, we can reduce the number of self-consistent field iterations that are necessary to reach self-consistency in Kohn-Sham density functional theory. We hope that the work in this thesis will contribute to improving initial states in density functional theory, support the application of data-derived orbital-free kinetic energy functionals and encourage an ever closer and mutually beneficial cohesion between data-driven and ab initio techniques throughout the Natural Sciences.

description: [transcription] Je vous envoie, mon cher Monsieur, avec le plus grand plaisir, un paquet de dissertations dont notre ami M. Calvet a bien voulu me procurer la lecture, après quoi je suis chargé de vous les faire passer. Elles roulent toutes deux sur le même objet et sont du père Rivoire, ci-devant jésuite, très laborieux et assez instruit. Je lui sais bon gré de les soumettre à votre critique comme à celle d’un maître dont la censure n’est jamais à craindre par votre extrême modestie et dont les instructions sont toujours profitables par votre affabilité et l’étendue de vos connaissances. Je plains d’ailleurs ce pauvre père qui n’a guère d’autres ressources que son travail et à qui on a enlevé de même qu’à plusieurs de ses confrères que je sais qui sont dans un état assez fâcheux.
Il me tarde fort de pouvoir aller à Avignon où quelques affaires pressantes m’appellent et de passer par conséquent à Nîmes pour vous y voir, vous [fol. 20 v] embrasser et vous renouveler tous les sentiments d’amitié et de respect qui m’attachent à vous et avec lesquels j’ai l’honneur d’être pour toujours, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Calvière

À Vézenobres, ce 15 août 1773.

La mosaïque dont il est question est à Vienne et a fait ce me semble trop de sensation, soit en éloges exagérés, soit en critiques trop méprisantes. Le Père Béraud s’est rangé du dernier parti. Il est sûrement difficile à contenter, quand il ne s’agit pas d’objets qu’il possède.
