description: We consider a resource-limited scenario where a sensor that uses compressed sensing (CS) collects a low number of measurements in order to observe a sparse signal, and the measurements are subsequently quantized at a low bit-rate followed by transmission or storage. For such a scenario, we design new algorithms for source coding with the objective of achieving good reconstruction performance of the sparse signal. Our approach is based on an analysis-by-synthesis principle at the encoder, consisting of two main steps: (1) the synthesis step uses a sparse signal reconstruction technique for measuring the direct effect of quantization of CS measurements on the final sparse signal reconstruction quality, and (2) the analysis step decides appropriate quantized values to maximize the final sparse signal reconstruction quality. Through simulations, we compare the performance of the proposed quantization algorithms vis-a-vis existing quantization schemes.

description: In Ref. \cite{Horava2005} Hořava suggested, that the multi - fermion many-body system with topologically stable Fermi surfaces may effectively be described (in a vicinity of the Fermi surface) by the theory with coarse-grained fermions. The number of the components of these coarse-grained fermions is reduced compared to the original system. Here we consider the $3+1$ D system and concentrate on the particular case when the Fermi surface has co-dimension $p=3$, i.e. it represents the Fermi point in momentum space. First we demonstrate explicitly that in agreement with Hořava conjecture, in the vicinity of the Fermi point the original system is reduced to the model with two - component Weyl spinors. Next, we generalize the construction of Hořava to the situation, when the original $3+1$ D theory contains multi - component Majorana spinors. In this case the system is also reduced to the model of the two - component Weyl fermions in the vicinity of the topologically stable Fermi point. Those fermions experience the emergent gauge field and the gravitational field given by the emergent veirbein. Both these fields (the emergent gauge field and the emergent gravitational field) originate from certain collective excitations of the original system. We speculate, that the given construction may be relevant for the high energy physics in the paradigm, in which the Lorentz symmetry as well as the gravitational and gauge fields are the emergent phenomena, i.e. they appear dynamically in the low energy approximation of the underlined high energy theory.

description: Natural gas worth upto 50 billion USD (4% of global production) is flared in oilfields globally, with the US ranked 4th among top flaring nations. Venting and flaring of gas are very common, due to absence of economically viable alternatives. This waste gas can instead be used to produce water on an industrial scale. This study analyzes and compares the technical performance of three methods to produce water using excess natural gas. The first method involves using this gas to power reverse osmosis systems that treat flowback water from oil-gas production wells. While reverse osmosis has primarily been used for desalination, it is possible to use it to treat flowback water and brackish water up to certain total dissolved solids (TDS) levels. The second method involves using this waste gas to power thermal desalination units to treat flowback and brackish water. The third technique uses waste gas-powered refrigeration systems to produce the cooling capacity to enable large-scale dehumidification-based water production from the atmosphere. This method does not rely upon any water sources but is instead strongly dependent on ambient weather conditions. The work develops an improved version of the effectiveness-mass transfer units model to quantify the technical performance of excess natural-gas based reverse osmosis systems. The technical performance of reverse osmosis systems is compared with the other two methods. The advantages and limitations of these three methods is discussed and analyzed from a technical and techno-economic standpoint. The results of this work suggest that the attractiveness of these methods is location-specific and depends on certain technical and environmental parameters associated with the three water production technologies.

description: A 59 year-old male presents with fever and left parasternal pain. Past medical history included arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity. His clinical exam was unremarkable. Both C-reactive protein and leucocytes were elevated. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 18mm saccular pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch with extensive adjacent densification and adenopathy (Figure 1 and 2). Methicillin-sensible Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from blood cultures. A transesophageal echocardiogram excluded endocarditis. Control Angio-CT after seven days showed a contained rupture and increase in diameter of the pseudoaneurysm. He underwent emergent surgery with circulatory arrest and anterograde cerebral perfusion; extensive resection of the pseudoaneurysmal aorta was performed, with reconstruction of the aortic arch using autologous pericardium, without implantation of foreign or synthetic material (Figure 3 and 4). He completed 4 weeks of Flucloxacillin IV, having been discharged under oral antibiotics.

description: Ultra-thin films of the electron doped manganite La$_{0.8}$Ce$_{0.2}$MnO$_3$ were grown in a layer-by-layer growth mode on SrTiO$_3$ (001) substrates by pulsed laser interval deposition. High structural quality and surface morphology was confirmed by a combination of synchrotron based x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. Resonant X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements confirm the presence of Ce$^{+4}$ and Mn$^{+2}$ ions. In addition, the electron doping signature was corroborated by Hall effect measurements. All grown films show ferromagnetic ground state as revealed by both XMCD and magnetoresistance measurements and remain insulating contrary to earlier reports of metal-insulator transition. Our results hint at the possibility of electron-hole asymmetry in the colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganite phase diagram akin to high-$T_c$ cuprates.

Pedagogies in physical education and wellness: How teachers promote secondary student engagement in physical education and wellness
Creators: Ryan-Jean, Caitlin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Student participation in physical education programs often diminishes when the course becomes an elective in high school. Throughout the history of physical and health education, there have been numerous pedagogical shifts, resulting in differing levels of student engagement. At the centre of these shifts were physical educators striving to create meaningful and purposeful physical education and wellness experiences. This intention is the foundation for the question driving this research project: How do teachers promote secondary student engagement in physical education? Through this meta-ethnographic study, I inquired into novel practices for physical educators to blend various strategies into meaningful physical education experiences for both students and teachers. Examining my own experiences, and in speaking with three physical educators with diverse backgrounds, I discovered the importance of balance, differentiation, and language. By acquiring a firm understanding of these components in connection to physical education pedagogies, a teacher may provide a more purposeful, relevant, and long-lasting impact on a student’s motivation to continue their physical education through their life.

Year: 2022

The project for employee leave management system focuses on integrating a number of procedures and addressing a few issues with employee management. The project aims to automate and streamline the administration of employee data, leave requests, and leave grants. Employees must have a streamlined, automated system in place to handle leaves and manage work issues in preparation, as well as plan their extended breaks well in advance. It streamlines the working process and shows a strong work ethic. A good leave management system benefits the company as well as its employees. It enables them to prepare in advance for an employee’s absence. Through this project implementation, employees may request leave, access their prior leave history, and the manager or HR can examine and approve requests for leave as well as monitor their current leave. We developed an application using Systems Applications & Products in Data Processing (SAP) technology which helps manager to view and manage their team. Real-time SAP reports can offer priceless insights that help organization to make better business choices. All levels of management can benefit from having a single, reliable view of the company information.

description: The VST Photometric Halpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Halpha at 1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5 < b < +5 at all longitudes south of the celestial equator. Extensions around the Galactic Centre to Galactic latitudes +/-10 bring in much of the Galactic Bulge. This ESO public survey, begun on 28th December 2011, reaches down to 20th magnitude (10-sigma) and will provide single-epoch digital optical photometry for around 300 million stars. The observing strategy and data pipelining is described, and an appraisal of the segmented narrowband Halpha filter in use is presented. Using model atmospheres and library spectra, we compute main-sequence (u - g), (g - r), (r - i) and (r - Halpha) stellar colours in the Vega system. We report on a preliminary validation of the photometry using test data obtained from two pointings overlapping the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. An example of the (u - g, g - r) and (r - Halpha, r - i) diagrams for a full VPHAS+ survey field is given. Attention is drawn to the opportunities for studies of compact nebulae and nebular morphologies that arise from the image quality being achieved. The value of the u band as the means to identify planetary-nebula central stars is demonstrated by the discovery of the central star of NGC 2899 in survey data. Thanks to its excellent imaging performance, the VST/OmegaCam combination used by this survey is a perfect vehicle for automated searches for reddened early-type stars, and will allow the discovery and analysis of compact binaries, white dwarfs and transient sources.

description: We consider linear systems of equations and inequalities with coefficients varying inside given intervals. We define their solutions (so called AE solutions) and solvability (so called AE solvability) by using forall-exists quantification of interval parameters. We present an explicit description of the AE solutions, and discuss complexity issues as well. For AE solvability, we propose a sufficient condition only, but for a specific sub-class of problems, a complete characterization is developed. Moreover, we investigate inequality systems for which AE solvability is equivalent to existence of an AE solution.

description: Background: Proper vascular access is essential for effective hemodialysis. There are three main access modalities: arte- riovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft (AVG), and central venous catheter. AVF has better patency and fewer complications, with lower morbidity and mortality rates. Some patients have limited superficial venous patrimony, and the best vascular access remains undetermined, with AVG and brachial vein transposition (BVT) representing upper limb alternatives. Our aim is to inves- tigate BVT and AVG followed by our institution regarding patency and need for intervention. Methods: This paper is based on a retrospective analysis of BVT and AVG followed/intervened our center between 2014 and 2018. To primary outcome was to define and compare patency rates for each group. Primary failure and need for reinterven- tion were considered secondary outcomes. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between primary and secondary patency in both groups. BVT has a higher post-intervention primary patency and fewer interventions due to thrombosis, despite the overall number of inter- ventions per patient similar to AVG. Conclusions: Despite the absence of a statistically significant difference in secondary patency and the need for reinter- vention between BVT and AVG, thrombosis-free time is higher in the BVT group. Overall, BVT is a valid access option that should be considered in patients with no other autogenous access alternative in upper limbs.

description: We propose a scenario where the saxion dominates the energy density of the Universe and reheats the standard model sector via the dilatonic coupling, while its axionic partner contributes to dark matter decaying into photons via the same operator in supersymmetry. Interestingly, for the axion mass $m_a \simeq 7$keV and the decay constant $f_a \simeq 10^{14-15}$GeV, the recently discovered X-ray line at $3.5$keV in the XMM Newton X-ray observatory data can be explained. We discuss various cosmological aspects of the $7$keV axion dark matter such as the production of axion dark matter, the saxion decay process, hot dark matter and isocurvature constraints on the axion dark matter, and the possible baryogenesis scenarios.

description: The kinetic separation of repulsive active Brownian particles into a dense and a dilute phase is analyzed using a systematic coarse-graining strategy. We derive an effective Cahn-Hilliard equation on large length and time scales, which implies that the separation process can be mapped onto that of passive particles. A lower density threshold for clustering is found, and using our approach we demonstrate that clustering first proceeds via a hysteretic nucleation scenario and above a higher threshold changes into a spinodal-like instability. Our results are in agreement with particle-resolved computer simulations and can be verified in experiments of artificial or biological microswimmers.

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory disorders are associated with a significant burden of mental disorder, including fatigue, cognitive problems, depression, and an enhanced risk of developing dementia in later life. The mechanisms underlying these associations are unclear, though inflammatory effects on the brain are thought to play an important role. Increasing evidence supports a role for communication of immune signals from the periphery to the brain, with structural and functional consequences. There is a lack of data from disease-relevant tissue-specific inflammatory animal models with translational potential. This thesis sets out to explore the brain response to inflammatory arthritis using a translational approach, spanning measurement of the neuroinflammatory response in the collagen induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, to the role of inflammatory variables in sickness behaviour in early RA, particularly fatigue, using a clinical cohort study. CIA was found to be associated with a brain inflammatory response involving upregulated brain transcription of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1- beta (Il1β) and the associated P2x7 receptor. An increased density of IBA1+ cells were demonstrated in the thalamus of arthritic mice, but not elsewhere in the brain. There was no indication of a consistent pattern of chemokine transcriptional changes, leukocyte recruitment to the brain or alterations in markers of plasticity such as hippocampal neurogenesis or neuronal density. In the clinical cohort drawn from the Scottish Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (SERA) study, fatigue was examined in its relationship with variables relevant to the burden of peripheral inflammation at baseline, 6 and 12 months. While overall levels of fatigue improved markedly within the cohort over time, univariable and multivariable analysis did not reveal a consistent relationship between inflammatory or disease activity variables and fatigue. Fatigue was more closely related to pain, mood, anxiety and subjective patient reported outcome measures. The experimental and clinical investigation presented in this thesis highlights the nuanced and complex relationship between peripheral inflammation and the brain response in the context of inflammatory arthritis. Further work is needed to broaden the field of knowledge using tractable and disease-faithful animal models and translational approaches. Further work in this area is vital to the endeavour to enhance our understanding and treatment of mental disorder in the context of inflammatory disease and may yield insights relevant to the role of inflammation in psychiatric disorders more broadly.

description: Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumours in adults. Clinical presentation is variable, with few cases of infected myxomas reported in the literature. We describe a rare case of a 63-year-old patient who presented with splenic abscesses and a left atrial mass suggestive of emboligen myxoma. The patient underwent a successful emergency sur- gical excision of the atrial mass followed by splenectomy. Blood cultures were positive for Fusobacterium nucleatum, whereas the histopathological examination of the excised mass confirmed the presence of a myxoma with a marked inflammatory infiltrate. All these findings allowed us to confirm the diagnosis of definite infected myxoma. Some aspects related to the aetiology, diagnosis and management of this entity are discussed.

Computation of Maximum Likelihood Estimates for Multiresponse Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Non-nested, Correlated Random Effects

description: Estimation of generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) with non-nested random effects structures requires approximation of high-dimensional integrals. Many existing methods are tailored to the low-dimensional integrals produced by nested designs. We explore the modifications that are required in order to adapt an EM algorithm with first-order and fully exponential Laplace approximations to a non-nested, multiple response model. The equations in the estimation routine are expressed as functions of the first four derivatives of the conditional likelihood of an arbitrary GLMM, providing a template for future applications. We apply the method to a joint Poisson-binary model for ranking sporting teams, and discuss the estimation of a correlated random effects model designed to evaluate the sensitivity of value-added models for teacher evaluation to assumptions about the missing data process.

On the Interpretation of Stratonovich Calculus

description: The Ito-Stratonovich dilemma is revisited from the perspective of the interpretation of Stratonovich calculus using shot noise. Over the long time scales of the displacement of an observable, the principal issue is how to deal with finite/zero autocorrelation of the stochastic noise. The former (non-zero) noise autocorrelation structure preserves the normal chain rule using a mid-point selection scheme, which is the basis Stratonovich calculus, whereas the instantaneous autocorrelation structure of Ito's approach does not. By considering the finite decay of the noise correlations on time scales very short relative to the overall displacement times of the observable, we suggest a generalization of the integral Taylor expansion criterion of Wong and Zakai (1965) for the validity of the Stratonovich approach.

description: This document examines the measurement of the concepts of skills needs, skills transferability and skills imbalances using international employer and employee surveys and new data sources from the Internet. First, it provides a conceptual clarification regarding these skills-related concepts based on definitions used in the literature, and how these concepts are mobilised as well as the main empirical results obtained. Second, it presents the different types of international data sources used in the literature to measure the aforementioned concepts. Third, it discusses the measurement of the above concepts using three types of Internet-based data sources: job portals, social networking websites and nonprobability Internet-based surveys. These have an incredible potential as data sources for the analysis of skills-related issues, but are not or rarely used for that purpose and their mobilisation raises several methodological issues.

description: A The recent years of the cardiovascular medicine saw a rapid development of advanced imaging modalities. The new era of personalized medicine takes advantage of what can be interpreted from medical images, searching for underlying connections between image phenotyping and biological characteristics to support precise clinical decisions. The application of radiomics in cardiovascular imaging has lagged behind other fields, such as oncology. While the current interpretation of cardiac and vascular images mainly depends on subjective and qualitative analysis, radiomics uses advanced image analysis to extract numerous quantitative features from digital images that are unrecognizable to the naked eye. The goal of this narrative review is to highlight the main findings of the recent use of radiomic analysis in the cardiovascular field. English-language articles published in the database PubMed were used for this review. The keywords used in the search included radiomics, cardiovascular or cardiac or aortic. Radiomics is expected to contribute to a more precise phenotyping of the cardiovascular disease, which can improve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decision making in the near future.
