description: Objective assessment of activity via accelerometry can provide valuable insights into dog health and welfare. Common activity metrics involve using acceleration cut-points to group data into intensity categories and reporting the time spent in each category. Lack of consistency and transparency in cut-point derivation makes it difficult to compare findings between studies. We present an alternative metric for use in dogs: the acceleration threshold (as a fraction of standard gravity, 1 g = 9.81 m/s2) above which the animal's X most active minutes are accumulated (MXACC) over a 24-hour period. We report M2ACC, M30ACC and M60ACC data from a colony of healthy beagles (n = 6) aged 3–13 months. To ensure that reference values are applicable across a wider dog population, we incorporated labelled data from beagles and volunteer pet dogs (n = 16) of a variety of ages and breeds. The dogs' normal activity patterns were recorded at 200 Hz for 24-hours using collar-based Axivity-AX3 accelerometers. We calculated acceleration vector magnitude and MXACC metrics. Using labelled data from both beagles and pet dogs, we characterise the range of acceleration outputs exhibited enabling meaningful interpretation of MXACC. These metrics will help standardize measurement of canine activity and serve as outcome measures for veterinary and translational research.

On the estimation of galaxy structural parameters: The Sérsic model
Creators: name: Trujillo, I.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper addresses some questions which have arisen from the use of the Sersic r^1/n law in modelling the luminosity profiles of early type galaxies. The first issue deals with the trend between the half-light radius and the structural parameter n. We show that the correlation between these two parameters is not only real, but is a natural consequence from the previous relations found to exist between the model-independent parameters: total luminosity, effective radius and effective surface brightness. We also define a new galaxy concentration index which is largely independent of the image exposure depth, and monotonically related with n. The second question concerns the curious coincidence between the form of the Fundamental Plane and the coupling between < I > e and re when modelling a light profile. We explain, through a mathematical analysis of the Sersic law, why the quantity re < I > e^0.7 appears almost constant for an individual galaxy, regardless of the value of n (over a large range) adopted in the fit to the light profile. Consequently, Fundamental Planes of the form re < I > e^0.7∝σ^x/0 (for any x, and where σ0 is the central galaxy velocity dispersion) are insensitive to galaxy structure. Finally, we address the problematic issue of the use of model-dependent galaxy light profile parameters versus model-independent quantities for the half-light radii, mean surface brightness and total galaxy magnitude. The former implicitly assume that the light profile model can be extrapolated to infinity, while the latter quantities, in general, are derived from a signal-to-noise truncated profile. We quantify (mathematically) how these parameters change as one reduces the outer radius of an r^1/n profile, and reveal how these can vary substantially when n≥4.

Year: 2024

description: The K-band light profiles from two statistically complete, diameter-limited samples of disc galaxies have been simultaneously modelled with a seeing-convolved Sérsic r1/n bulge and a seeing-convolved exponential disc. This has enabled an accurate separation of the bulge and disc light, and hence an estimate of the central disc surface brightness.

description: The study focuses on the impact of regular physical activity on reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among individuals with prediabetes. Given the increasing incidence of diabetes, it is important to investigate how physical activity can help improve health outcomes in individuals with prediabetesby preventing the development of the disease. The paper presents data on the effect of various types of physical activity on blood glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, and body weight. The results confirm that regular exercise reduces the risk of developing prediabetes into type 2 diabetes and improves health outcomes.

description: In this study, the challenge of selecting porous coordination networks (PCNs) as filler particles in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) was examined using molecular simulations. PCNs are promising nanoporous materials in gas separations because of their tunable pore sizes, high porosities, good thermal and mechanical stabilities. Gas permeability and selectivity of 200 new MMMs composed of 20 different PCNs and 10 different polymers were calculated for CO2/N2 separation. We showed that selecting the appropriate PCN as filler particles in polymers results in MMMs that have high CO2/N2 selectivities and high CO2 permeabilities compared with pure polymer membranes. Several PCN/polymer MMMs were identified to exceed the upper bound established for CO2/N2 separation. Effect of framework flexibility of PCNs on the performance of MMMs was also examined. Results showed that considering the flexibility of PCNs is important for predicting gas permeability of pure PCNs but has less significance for predicting gas permeability of PCN-filled MMMs whenever the PCN volume fraction is low. For rapid screening of PCN/polymer MMMs, flexibility of the fillers can be neglected as a reasonable approximation if the filler volume fraction is 2 separation applications.

description: The countries affected by malaria have adopted new vector control strategies focused primarily on the use of insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. The commune of Aguégués was chosen to evaluate the impact of the use of Baygon® in malaria transmission. Entomological, clinical and parasitological parameters are studied. The effect of Baygon® is about 4 to 5 hours in the rooms sprayed. The results show that there is no significant difference regarding the entomological and parasitological parameters in the village treated with Baygon® and the village without nets. Baygon® has an important role in reducing the mosquito population. Baygon® has a knock-down and irritant effect on mosquitos. But the effect of this power is short because after 1 am mosquitoes begin to enter the sprayed rooms. The use of Baygon® must be accompanied by the long lasting impregnated mosquito nets.

description: The aim of this study is to evaluate and to characterize the iron metabolism in women of reproductive age infected by VIH in Abidjan. In order to review the iron stores in women of reproductive age, 180 women were recruited in a specialized center for treatment of HIV (ICBRA) based on the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The mean age of women was 34.7 ± 0.5 years with extremes of 18 and 45 years. These women were classified into two groups of subjects namely 120 HIV positive women and 60 HIV negative as control women. Blood samples were taken from each of the selected women. Assays of various biological indicators (haematological and biochemical parameters) assessment of iron status were performed by different kits adequate for the automatic COBAS INTEGRA 400 Plus. The results of our investigations have demonstrated that all the searched biological has been degraded in enrolled women. Indeed our study found that for all subjects 79.4 % of women reported an abnormal iron status namely 71.7 % and 83.3 % respectively in control women and women with HIV. Abnormal iron status consisted of iron deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia, inflammatory anaemia and inflammatory anaemia associated with iron deficiency. Among the observed various components of iron status, inflammatory anaemia revealed the high prevalence rates in both groups of subjects (46.7 % vs 67.5 %). Our findings have then indicated that HIV infection has dramatically altered iron stores in women of reproductive especially those living with HIV/AIDS.
A morphological type dependence in the μ0-log h plane of spiral galaxy disks

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present observational evidence for a galaxy 'type' dependence to the location of a spiral galaxy's disk parameters in the μ0–log h plane. With a sample of approximately 40 low surface brightness galaxies (both bulge- and disk-dominated) and approximately 80 high surface brightness galaxies, the early-type disk galaxies (≤Sc) tend to define a bright envelope in the μ0–log h plane, while the late-type (≥Scd) spiral galaxies have, in general, smaller and fainter disks. Below the defining surface brightness threshold for a low surface brightness galaxy (i.e., more than 1 mag fainter than the 21.65 B mag arcsec-2 Freeman value), the early-type spiral galaxies have scale lengths greater than 8–9 kpc, while the late-type spiral galaxies have smaller scale lengths. All galaxies have been modeled with a seeing-convolved Sérsic r 1/n bulge and exponential disk model. We show that the trend of decreasing bulge shape parameter n with increasing Hubble type and decreasing bulge-to-disk luminosity ratio, which has been observed among the high surface brightness galaxies, extends to the low surface brightness galaxies, revealing a continuous range of structural parameters.

A ortodontia é uma especialidade da odontologia que visa a corrigir desarmonias dentofaciais e promover a funcionalidade e estética do sorriso. A Classe II, também conhecida como retrognatia mandibular, é uma das maloclusões mais comuns encontrados na prática clínica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir e analisar a importância do tratamento ortodôntico na dentadura mista, especificamente para casos da Classe II, e suas implicações funcionais. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e se efetivou mediante seleção criteriosa e revisão de artigos científicos e demais produções teóricas, após consulta nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Lilacs e Scielo, além de bibliotecas digitais. Discutimos a eficácia dos diferentes métodos de tratamento, debatendo, também, a importância do acompanhamento contínuo do paciente, considerando a fase de crescimento na dentadura mista para obtenção dos melhores resultados possíveis. Os resultados evidenciam que o tratamento da Classe II na dentadura mista é decisivo para garantir não apenas a melhoria estética, mas principalmente a funcionalidade do sistema estomatognático. A atuação do ortodontista nesse processo é primordial na promoção da saúde oral e na qualidade de vida do paciente. À guisa de conclusão, esperamos, com esse trabalho, contribuir para a literatura acadêmica sobre ortodontia e promover uma melhor compreensão sobre a

importância do tratamento adequado da Classe II na dentadura mista, buscando sempre resultados que favoreçam a saúde e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes

On the light-profiles of spiral galaxy bulges and the hubble sequence for spirals
Creators: name: Graham, Alister
name: Prieto, Mercedes
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Recent studies have claimed that the Hubble sequence of late-type spirals, and spirals in general, is scale-free. Within the photometric data used in these works, a trend exists between morphological type and bulge profile shape such that late-type spiral bulges are described by an exponential luminosity profile, where-as the early-type spiral bulges are better described by an r 1/2 or r 1/4 law. The universal application of an exponential light-profile to the disk and bulge of all spiral galaxies is not justified. Taking structural parameters from exponential disk models and the best-fitting rl/n bulge models (with n = 1, 2 or 4), the mean effective-bulge-radius to disk scale-length ratio (re/h) increases at the 3

The influence of bulge profile shapes on claims for a scale-free Hubble sequence for spiral galaxies
Creators: name: Graham, Alister
name: Prieto, Mercedes
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We investigate recent claims that the Hubble sequence of spiral galaxies is scale-free. Fundamental to this investigation is the fact that within the photometric data of 86 spiral galaxies from de Jong & van der Kruit - from which these claims were made - a trend exists between morphological type and bulge profile shape. While late-type spiral bulges are described by an exponential luminosity profile, the early-type spiral bulges are better described by an r 1/2 or r 1/4 law. Taking the scale lengths from the best-fitting surface brightness profile models (i.e., either using exponential, r 1/2, or r 1/4 law profile parameters), we show that in all six passbands used (BVRIHK), the early-type spiral galaxies have a larger re/h ratio than late-type spiral galaxies. In contrast to this, fitting an exponential profile to the bulges of all spiral galaxies results in the mean re/h ratio for the early-type spiral galaxies actually being smaller than the mean re/h ratio for the late-type spiral galaxies (at the 3 o significance level using K-band data).

description: We present extended stellar kinematics for a sample of elliptical galaxies in the Fornax cluster. Out of the 13 galaxies presented here, five (FCC 119, FCC 136, NGC 1373, NGC 1428, FCC 335) have no previously published kinematical data. Major-axis velocity dispersion profiles (VDPs) and rotation curves (RCs) are given for 12 of the galaxies. A major feature of this data is the spatial extension: for 8 galaxies the data extends beyond 1 R-e, and for 5 it extends beyond 2 R-e. Compared to the previously available data, this corresponds to an increase in spatial coverage by a factor from 1 to 5. The present sample represents 86% of the ellipticals in Fornax blighter than B-T = 15 mag. Five of the ellipticals in the sample turn out to be rotationally-supported systems, having positive rotation parameter log (V/sigma)*. One of these five, and another 3 galaxies from the remaining sample, display evidence for bar-like kinematics. The data indicate that the true number of 'dynamically hot' stellar systems, is much lower than previously thought: of the Es in the present sample only 1/4 are confirmed as 'pressure-supported' systems. The data reveal a host of individual peculiarities, like: wiggles, strong gradients, and asymmetries in the rotation curve and/or in the velocity dispersion profile, thus showing that the presence of kinematically distinct components and/or triaxiality is a common characteristic of this class of object.

Various alcohols were converted to their corresponding alkyl thiocyanates and it was observed that substituted benzyl alcohol with electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups were transformed into the corresponding benzyl thiocyanate derivatives in high to excellent yields in a short reaction time but, sterically hindered alcohols produced the corresponding thiocyanates in very low yields.
Some effects of galaxy structure and dynamics on the Fundamental Plane - II. A Virgo-Fornax distance modulus
Creators: name: Graham, Alister
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The influence of broken structural homology, and the implied broken dynamical homology, is examined for the Fundamental Plane (FP). Requiring a symmetrical treatment of the FP variables, a bisector method of linear regression was applied, in 3-dimensions, to derive the best FP. A bootstrapping procedure has been used to estimate the uncertainties associated with the slope of the FP. For 25 E and S0 Virgo galaxies, the 'standard' FP, constructed using R1/4 model parameters for the effective radii (Re,4) and the mean surface brightness within this radius (Σe, 4) and using central velocity dispersion (CVD) measurements (σ0), gave a relation described by Re,4 ∝ σ0^1.10±0.14 Σe,4^−0.55±0.09. Using Sersic R1/n light profile model parameters and the projected, infinite aperture, velocity dispersion (σtot,n), derived from application of the Jeans equation to the observed intensity profiles, gave an 'improved' FP described by the relation Re,n ∝ σ^1.37±0.16 tot,n Σe,n^−0.76±0.05. This result, based on independent data, supports the previous finding by Graham & Colless (1997a) that assumptions of structural and dynamical homology are partly responsible for the departure of the observed FP from the plane expected by the virial theorem, which predicts R ∝ σ^2 Σ−1. Upon removal of the known S0 galaxies from the sample of Virgo galaxies, the above planes were observed to change to Re,4 ∝ σ 0 ^1.19±0.21Σe,4^−0.60±0.11 and Re,n ∝ σ- tot,n^1.72±0.24Σe,n^−0.74±0.09. The perpendicular rms residuals about these planes are 0.084 and 0.050 dex, respectively. The Fornax cluster was similarly treated, although removal of the S0 galaxies left a sample of only 7 ellipticals which had published CVD measurements. Treating the range of structural and dynamical profiles present in this sample produced a FP given by the relation Re,n ∝ σ tot,n^2.03±0.78Σe,n^−1.07±0.30, in tantalizing agreement with the plane expected from the virial theorem, but with discouragingly large errors due to the small sample size. Similarly to Virgo, the perpendicular rms residuals about this plane is 0.050 dex. The FP was also constructed with the purpose of using it as a distance indicator, achieved by minimising the distance-dependent quantity logR against the distance-independent quantities Σ and log σ. A Virgo-Fornax distance modulus was computed using Working-Hotelling confidence bands (Feigelson & Babu 1992). The 'standard' FP parameters gave a value of 0.45±0.16 mag, where-as the 'improved' FP parameters gave a value of 0.25±0.12 mag. However, a full treatment of the uncertainties on the FP slopes, derived through a bootstrapping procedure of the 3-dimensional FP data set, revealed that the analytical expressions for the uncertainties on the estimated distance moduli, given above, should be increased by a factor of ~5.

description: Cet article a pour objectif d’étudier le rôle modérateur du trait de personnalité de la relation entre les facteurs situationnels et la qualité de la gouvernance de l’enseignement supérieur public de Côte d’Ivoire. Pour atteindre cet objectif de recherche, nous avons déployé une méthodologie quantitative. Elle a permis de recueillir des données auprès de 605 managers durant les mois de Mars et Mai 2024 à l’aide d’un questionnaire. Le traitement des données a été fait en utilisant la modélisation par équations structurelles. Dans les Universités et grandes écoles publiques ivoiriennes les dimensions environnement physique, environnement social, la définition des rôles et les états antérieurs propres à l’individu des facteurs situationnels influencent positivement la qualité de la gouvernance contrairement à la perspective temporelle. La présence du trait de personnalité permet améliore l’explication de la qualité de la gouvernance.

Some effects of galaxy structure and dynamics on the Fundamental Plane

description: We examine the effects on the Fundamental Plane (FP) of structural departures from an R1/4 galaxy light profile. We also explore the use of spatial (i.e., volumetric) as well as projected galaxy parameters. We fit the Sersic R1/n law to the F-band light profiles of 26 E/S0 Virgo galaxies, where n is a shape parameter that allows for structural differences amongst the profiles. The galaxy light profiles show a trend of systematic departures from a de Vaucouleurs R1/4 law, in the sense that n increases with increasing effective half-light radius Rc. This results in Re, and the associated mean surface brightness within this radius, having systematic biases when constructed using an R1/4 law. Adjustments to the measured velocity dispersion are also made, based upon the theoretical velocity dispersion profile shapes of the different R1/n light profiles, constructed assuming spherical symmetry and isotropic pressure support. We construct the FP for the case when structural homology is assumed (specifically, an R1/4 law is fitted to all galaxies) and central velocity dispersions, σ0, are used. The plane we obtain is Re∝ σ01.33±0.10 Σe-0.79±0.11, where Σe is the mean surface brightness within the projected effective radius Re. This agrees with the FP obtained by others, and departs from the virial theorem expectation R∝ σ2 Σ-1. We find that allowing for broken structural homology through fitting R1/n profiles (with n a free parameter), but still using central velocity dispersions, actually increases the departure of the observed FP from the virial plane - the increase in effective radius with galaxy luminosity (and n) is overbalanced by an associated decrease in the mean surface brightness. In examining the use of spatial quantities and allowing for the different velocity dispersion profiles corresponding to the observed light profiles, we find that use of the spatial velocity dispersion at the spatial half-light radius decreases the departure of the observed FP from the virial plane. (Use of the spatial half-light radius and mean surface brightness term has no effect on the FP, as they are constant multiples of their projected values.) Through use of the Jeans hydrodynamical equation, we convert the projected central aperture velocity dispersion, σ0, into the infinite aperture velocity dispersion, σtot,n (which is equal to one-third of the virial velocity dispersion). Using both the R1/n fit and σtot,n, we obtain Re,n ∝ σtot,n1.44±0.11 Σe,n-0.93±0.08. Making the fullest allowance for broken structural homology thus brings the observed FP closer to the virial plane, with the exponent of the surface brightness term consistent with the virial expectation.

description: This study was carried out to assess the spermicidal action of hexane extract from the fruits of Piper longum Linn. The sperm immobilisation studies showed that 20 mg/mL of hexane extract was able to immobilise sperms completely within 20 s. The sperm revival test revealed that the effects were spermicidal as sperm immobilisation effect was irreversible. There was also a significant reduction in sperm viability in the treated group in comparison to the control. The hypo-osmotic swelling of these sperms was significantly reduced, indicating that the hexane extract may probably cause injury to the sperm plasma membrane. Hence, this study showed that the hexane extract of P. longum possesses potential contraceptive spermicidal activity in vitro.

The Great Britain Historical Database has been assembled as part of the ongoing Great Britain Historical GIS Project. The project aims to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain at sub-county scales. Further information about the project is available on A Vision of Britain webpages, where users can browse the database's documentation system online.

These data were originally published by the Poor Law Board, later renamed the Local Government Board, and cover England and Wales. They were computerised over many years by the Great Britain Historical GIS Project. They form part of the Great Britain Historical Database, which contains a wide range of geographically-located statistics, selected to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain, generally at sub-county scales.

The county-level data appeared in the Board's Annual Reports, while the union-level data appeared in their Returns to Parliament, within British Parliamentary Papers. The tabulations are always for the 1st of January and 1st of July. The original tables contain many columns, so two kinds of transcriptions have been made. Those labelled "full" include all columns but only for selected dates, while the other transcriptions cover all available dates but are generally limited just to total numbers of paupers and numbers of able-bodied male paupers, as the closest approximation to unemployment.

Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.

For the second edition (February 2024), the data was updated and extended to 1939, and former study 3713 was incorporated

description: Ballast water is a significant vector of microbial dissemination; however, biofouling on commercial vessel hulls has been poorly studied with regard to pathogenic bacteria transport. Biofouling on three commercial vessels and seven port structures in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, was examined by qPCR to identify and quantify Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a worldwide recognized food-borne human pathogen. Pathogenic variants (trh+, tdh+) of V. parahaemolyticus were detected in biofouling homogenates samples from several docks in Ensenada and on the hulls of ships with Japanese and South Korean homeports, but not in reference sampling stations. A total of 26 tdh+ V. parahaemolyticus colonies and 1 ORF8+/O3:K6 strain were also isolated from enriched biofouling homogenate samples confirming the qPCR analysis. Our results suggest that biofouling is an important reservoir of pathogenic vibrios. Thus, ship biofouling might be an overlooked vector with regard to the dissemination of pathogens, primarily pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus.

description: City planners and architects employ graph-theoretic measures to analyse models of the built environment and predict human navigational behaviour. A recent breakthrough in the neuroscience of spatial cognition has shown that activation in the human hippocampus tracks the change in centrality for subjects navigating a virtual Soho in a fMRI scanner. Based on a well understood information-theoretic framework for modelling intelligent behaviour under cognitive constraints, the existing measures empowerment and relevant goal information, and novel quantity relevant goal information uptake were applied to a graph of the Soho street network navigated in the experiment. Empowerment, relevant goal information and relevant goal information uptake are shown to correlate with graph centrality for the primal graph, and to a lesser extent with centrality for the dual graph as used in the Soho experiment. These results, consistent with the hypothesis, provide preliminary evidence that human navigation employs an empowerment maximisation strategy, and to the author's knowledge, linking empowerment and relevant goal information with empirical neuroscience in a collaborative study for the first time.
