Transglutaminases

description: Transglutaminases (TGases) are enzymes that catalyse protein cross-linking through a transamidation reaction between the side chain of a glutamine residue on one protein and the side chain of a lysine residue on another. Generally, TGases show low substrate specificity with respect to their amine substrate, such that a wide variety of primary amines can participate in the modification of specific glutamine residue. Although a number of different TGases have been used to mediate these bioconjugation reactions, the TGase from Bacillus subtilis (bTG) may be particularly suited to this application. It is smaller than most TGases, can be expressed in a soluble active form, and lacks the calcium dependence of its mammalian counterparts. However, little is known regarding this enzyme and its glutamine substrate specificity, limiting the scope of its application. In this work, we designed a FRET-based ligation assay to monitor the bTG-mediated conjugation of the fluorescent proteins Clover and mRuby2. This assay allowed us to screen a library of random heptapeptide glutamine sequences for their reactivity with recombinant bTG in bacterial cells, using fluorescence assisted cell sorting. From this library, several reactive sequences were identified and kinetically characterized, with the most reactive sequence (YAHQAHY) having a kcat/KM value of 19 ± 3 μM-1 min-1. This sequence was then genetically appended onto a test protein as a reactive 'Q-tag' and fluorescently labelled with dansyl-cadaverine, in the first demonstration of protein labelling mediated by bTG.

description: La symétrie irrégulière pratiquée dans la musique classique, mélange de symétrie et d’asymétrie, a des conséquences importantes quant au processus de la construction musicale. Sous l’apparence du déroulement linéaire inévitable à un art du temps, ce processus est une amplification, un développement semblable à une croissance. Chaque moment de ce développement devient la conséquence de tout ce qui l’a précédé et pas uniquement du moment qui le précède immédiatement ; il devient aussi cause de tout ce qui s’ensuit et pas uniquement du moment suivant ; tout moment est lié à tous les autres dans l’accomplissement d’un destin commun qui est l’équilibre de l’ensemble. L’unité, la cohérence et la cohésion de ce processus de construction musicale rappelleront à juste titre celles des processus organiques.

description: We revisit completion modulo equational theories for left-linear term rewrite systems where unification modulo the theory is avoided and the normal rewrite relation can be used in order to decide validity questions. To that end, we give a new correctness proof for finite runs and establish a simulation result between the two inference systems known from the literature. Given a concrete reduction order, novel canonicity results show that the resulting complete systems are unique up to the representation of their rules' right-hand sides. Furthermore, we show how left-linear AC completion can be simulated by general AC completion. In particular, this result allows us to switch from the former to the latter at any point during a completion process.

description: Automatic facial action unit (AFA) detection from video is a long-standing problem in facial expression analysis. Most approaches emphasize choices of features and classifiers. They neglect individual differences in target persons. People vary markedly in facial morphology (e.g., heavy versus delicate brows, smooth versus deeply etched wrinkles) and behavior. Individual differences can dramatically influence how well generic classifiers generalize to previously unseen persons. While a possible solution would be to train person-specific classifiers, that often is neither feasible nor theoretically compelling. The alternative that we propose is to personalize a generic classifier in an unsupervised manner (no additional labels for the test subjects are required). We introduce a transductive learning method, which we refer to Selective Transfer Machine (STM), to personalize a generic classifier by attenuating person-specific biases. STM achieves this effect by simultaneously learning a classifier and re-weighting the training samples that are most relevant to the test subject. To evaluate the effectiveness of STM, we compared STM to generic classifiers and to cross-domain learning methods in three major databases: CK+ [20], GEMEP-FERA [32] and RU-FACS [2]. STM outperformed generic classifiers in all.

description: Background: There is no standardized definition of what a predatory journal is, nor have the characteristics of these journals been delineated or agreed upon. In order to study the phenomenon precisely a definition of predatory journals is needed. The objective of this scoping review is to summarize the literature on predatory journals, describe its epidemiological characteristics, and to extract empirical descriptions of potential characteristics of predatory journals. Methods: We searched five bibliographic databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase Classic + Embase, ERIC, and PsycINFO, and Web of Science on January 2 nd, 2018. A related grey literature search was conducted March 27 th, 2018. Eligible studies were those published in English after 2012 that discuss predatory journals. Titles and abstracts of records obtained were screened. We extracted epidemiological characteristics from all search records discussing predatory journals. Subsequently, we extracted statements from the empirical studies describing empirically derived characteristics of predatory journals. These characteristics were then categorized and thematically grouped.   Results: 920 records were obtained from the search. 344 of these records met our inclusion criteria. The majority of these records took the form of commentaries, viewpoints, letters, or editorials (78.44%), and just 38 records were empirical studies that reported empirically derived characteristics of predatory journals. We extracted 109 unique characteristics from these 38 studies, which we subsequently thematically grouped into six categories: journal operations, article, editorial and peer review, communication, article processing charges, and dissemination, indexing and archiving, and five descriptors.    Conclusions: This work identified a corpus of potential characteristics of predatory journals. Limitations of the work include our restriction to English language articles, and the fact that the methodological quality of articles included in our extraction was not assessed. These results will be provided to attendees at a stakeholder meeting seeking to develop a standardized definition for what constitutes a predatory journal.
Investigation on the Comparisons of Feature Locations Explain the Difficulty in Discriminating Mirror-Reflected Pairs of Geometrical Figures from Disoriented Identical Pairs

description: The present experiment investigates whether patterns of shifts of feature locations could affect the same/different decisions of simultaneously presented pairs of geometrical figures. A shift of locations was defined as the angular distance from the location of a feature in one figure to the location of the same feature in another figure. It was hypothesized that the difficulty in discriminating mirror-reflected (or axisymmetric) pairs from disoriented identical pairs was caused by complex shifting patterns inherent in axisymmetric pairs. According to the shifts of the locations of the four structural features, five pair types were prepared. They could be ordered from completely identical to completely different in their shifts: identical 0/4 pairs, non-identical 1/4 pairs, non-identical 2/4 pairs, axisymmetric 2/4 pairs and non-identical 4/4 pairs. The latencies for non-identical pairs decreased with the increase of difference in the shifts of feature locations, indicating that serial, self-terminating comparisons of the shifts were applied to the discrimination of non-identical pairs from identical pairs. However, the longer latencies in axisymmetric 2/4 pairs than in non-identical 2/4 pairs suggested that the difficulty for axisymmetric pairs was not caused by the complex shifting patterns, and the difficulty was not satisfactorily explained by the comparisons of feature locations. The latencies obtained for Nonid pairs decreased with the increase of the difference in the shifts of feature locations, indicating that serial, self-terminating comparisons of the shifts were applied to the discrimination of Nonid pairs from Id pairs.

description: The Segway™ LLC company has provided a robust mobility platform on which to research human/robot coordination in an adversarial environment. The Segway Human Transport (HT) is a one person dynamically self-balancing transportation vehicle. The Segway Robot Mobility Platform (RMP) is a modification of the Human Transporter capable of being programmed for autonomous operation. With these platforms, human/robot coordination is being investigated through the competitive game, Segway Soccer. The game is played between robots (RMPs) and humans (riding HTs), who can be teammates or opponents. The rules of the game are a combination of soccer and ultimate Frisbee rules. This paper describes the design of the mechanical systems necessary to allow the Segway RMP to safely and effectively play a competitive game of Segway Soccer along with humans. Specifically, the challenge of designing a soccer ball manipulation/kicking system is described in depth.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Why do Individuals Seek Financial Advice?
Creators: name: Ezenwa, Kamsi
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: Economists over time have looked at what factors drive individuals to make certain decisions and what influences their behaviors. Financial decisions are every so often complicated and individuals tend to make detrimental mistakes when deciding what financial actions to take. This paper explores the characteristics of individuals who seek financial advice from financial planners and examine the link between financial advice, financial market participation, income, age, gender, race, education and some financial indicators. Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances, we try to determine what factors motivate individuals to seek financial advice from professional financial planners. We find that there are gender, race and age differences in the characteristics of individuals that seek financial advice from professionals.

description: In this paper, we investigate how, given an image, similar images sharing the same global description can help with unsupervised scene segmentation. In contrast to recent work in semantic alignment of scenes, we allow an input image to be explained by partial matches of similar scenes. This allows for a better explanation of the input scenes. We perform MRF-based segmentation that optimizes over matches, while respecting boundary information. The recovered segments are then used to re-query a large database of images to retrieve better matches for the target regions. We show improved performance in detecting the principal occluding and contact boundaries for the scene over previous methods on data gathered from the LabelMe database.

description: We study the propagation of exact gravitational waves in the ghost-free bimetric theory. Our focus is on type N spacetimes compatible with the cosmological constants provided by the bigravity interaction potential, and particularly in the single class known by allowing at least a Killing symmetry: the AdS waves. They have the advantage of being represented by a generalized Kerr-Schild transformation from AdS spacetime. This means a notorious simplification in bigravity by allowing to straightforwardly compute any power of its interaction square root matrix, opening the door to explore physically meaningful exact configurations. For these exact gravitational waves the complex dynamical structure of bigravity decomposes into elementary exact massless or massive excitations propagating on AdS. We use a complexified formulation of the Euler-Darboux equations to provide for the first time the general solutions to the massive version of the Siklos equation which rules the resulting AdS-waves dynamics, using an integral representation originally due to Poisson. Inspired in this progress we tackle the subtle problem on how matter couples to bigravity and concretely if this occurs through a composite metric, which is hard to handle in a general setting. Surprisingly, the Kerr-Schild ansatz brings again a huge simplification in how the related energy-momentum tensors are calculated. This allows us to explicitly characterize AdS waves supported in one case by a massless free scalar field and by a wavefront-homogeneous Maxwell field in another. Considering the most general allowed Maxwell source instead is a highly nontrivial task, that we accomplish by exploiting again the complexified Euler-Darboux description and taking advantage of the classical Riemann method. In fact, this allow us to find at the end the most general configurations for any matter source.

Russia-Ukraine War: Geopolitical Implications and Evolution of NATO-Russia Relations
Creators: name: Zhao, Yingshu
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has affected international politics, focusing on how cooperation between Russia and NATO has broken down. Therefore, the research approach is a qualitative systematic literature review, and it examines scholarly papers, foreign policy reports, and websites like Carnegie Europe and the Atlantic Council that deal with international relations. Simultaneously, Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the subsequent escalation of the conflict into a full-scale war in 2022 have had far-reaching consequences for international peace and safety and political and economic stability. In addition, significant shifts in Russia-NATO ties, repercussions for Ukraine's future NATO membership, and security concerns for neighbouring nations like Finland and Sweden are all highlighted in the study. Subsequently, the research also examines how the conflict has affected the Ukrainian economy, focusing on the country's reliance on imported energy and the urgent need for economic restoration. The study also sheds insight into how the war and the large-scale emigration of Russian nationals seeking better economic prospects have affected the country's demographic makeup. As a concluding remark, significant geopolitical ramifications coming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict are discussed in this study. Likewise, Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO have been damaged, while neighbouring nations like Finland and Sweden have sought stronger connections with NATO for increased security in response to the crisis. Similarly, the emergence of new, pressing challenges, such as energy dependence and economic rehabilitation in Ukraine and demographic shifts in Russia as a result of military service and migration, highlighted the war's far-reaching impacts. As a result, insightful information on the changing dynamics of the area and the difficulties of post-conflict international cooperation and security is gleaned from the comprehensive literature research.

description: The high cost of damaging an expensive robot or injuring people or equipment in its environment make even rare failures unacceptable in many mobile robot applications. Often the objects that pose the highest risk for a mobile robot are those that were not present throughout previous successful traversals of an environment. Change detection, a closely related problem to novelty detection, is therefore of high importance to many mobile robotic applications that require a robot to operate repeatedly in the same environment. We present a novel algorithm for performing online change detection based on a previously developed robust online novelty detection system that uses a learned lower-dimensional representation of the feature space to perform measures of similarity. We then further improve this change detection system by incorporating online scene segmentation to better utilize contextual information in the environment. We validate these approaches through extensive experiments onboard a large outdoor mobile robot. Our results show that our approaches are robust to noisy sensor data and moderate registration errors and maintain their performance across diverse natural environments and conditions.
La place et la contribution de la diaspora haïtienne au travail social canadien : Étude de cas du Collectif des Intervenants Sociaux Haïtiens d’Ottawa (CISHO)

description: Ce mémoire vise à mettre en lumière la place et la contribution de la diaspora haïtienne au travail social canadien. Dans un premier temps, ce mémoire met à jour la littérature sur la diaspora haïtienne et sa contribution à divers mouvements sociaux au Canada visant une plus grande équité et justice sociale. Dans un second temps, nous avons considéré le Collectif des Intervenants Sociaux Haïtiens d’Ottawa (CISHO) comme cas d’études empiriques. En s’appuyant sur un cadre conceptuel du travail social anti-raciste et anti-oppressif, nous avons, dans une démarche de recherche qualitative, mené des entretiens semi-directif auprès des membres du CISHO. Cette étude permet d’éclairer les réalités culturelles et les besoins des communautés haïtiennes de la société canadienne et les enjeux rencontrés qui interpellent le travail social, notamment : la surreprésentation des enfants haïtiens dans les systèmes de protection de l’enfance, la précarité économique et les inégalités d’accès aux services en santé mentale. Cette étude a révélé que le racisme systémique de la société canadienne joue un rôle fondamental dans la production des oppressions fragilisant les conditions de vie de la communauté haïtienne d’Ottawa. Le CISHO permet, dans une optique « par et pour », d’agir sur ces inégalités raciales en s’engageant dans une approche anti-raciste et anti-oppressif. Il invite, plus largement, à tenir compte, au niveau théorique et pratique, des réalités et des besoins des communautés noires et haïtiennes du Canada, souvent invisibilisées tant par les intervenant.e.s que les chercheur.e.s en travail social. Mots clés : Immigration, insertion professionnelle, santé mentale, néo-libéralisme, inégalités sociales, travail social, oppressions, racisme, travail social anti-raciste et anti-oppressif.

The eigenfrequency of a truly local magnon mode is determined by the curvature: a general analytical expression is established for any infinitesimally weak localized curvature of the wire. The interaction of the local mode with spin waves, propagating through the bend, results in scattering features, which is well confirmed by spin-lattice simulations.

description: Individuals have different psychological predispositions for conflict, or peaceabilities. Whether they actually engage in conflict depends on the (institutional) context. We show how peaceabilities and context interact when players differ in three ways: peaceful shares, fighting strengths, and peaceabilities. The context produces two basic behaviors, opportunistic or matching; behavior, in turn, determines if higher peaceability (or its probability) increases the likelihood of conflict. Consequently, for the same change in peaceabilities, the context can produce opposite predictions regarding peace and conflict.

description: This paper describes a segmentation method for extracting salient regions in outdoor scenes using both 3-D laser scans and imagery information. Our approach is a bottom- up attentive process without any high-level priors, models, or learning. As a mid-level vision task, it is not only robust against noise and outliers but it also provides valuable information for other high-level tasks in the form of optimal segments and their ranked saliency. In this paper, we propose a new saliency definition for 3-D point clouds and we incorporate it with saliency features from color information.

description: Revealing the ongoing changes in ocean dynamics and their impact on marine ecosystems requires the joint analysis of multiple variables. Yet, global observational records only cover a few decades, posing a challenge in the separation of climatic trends from internal dynamical modes. Here, we apply an empirical stochastic model to identify the emergent patterns of trends in six fundamental components of upper ocean physics. We analyze a data-driven reconstruction of the ocean state covering the 1993-2018 period. We found that including temporal derivatives into the state vector enhances the description of the ocean's dynamical system. Once Pacific oscillations are properly accounted for, averaged surface warming appears >60% faster, and a deep reshaping of the seascape is revealed. A clustering of the trend patterns identifies the main factors that drive observed trends in chlorophyll-a concentration. This data-driven approach opens new perspectives in empirical climate modelling.

description: The celebrated problem of a non-homogeneous sphere rolling over a horizontal plane was proved to be integrable and was reduced to quadratures by Chaplygin. Applying the formalism of variational integrators (discrete Lagrangian systems) with nonholonomic constraints and introducing suitable discrete constraints, we construct a discretization of the n-dimensional generalization of the Chaplygin sphere problem, which preserves the same first integrals as the continuous model, except the energy. We then study the discretization of the classical 3-dimensional problem for a class of special initial conditions, when an analog of the energy integral does exist and the corresponding map is given by an addition law on elliptic curves. The existence of the invariant measure in this case is also discussed.

description: The ability of the future low frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope (SKA-Low) to produce tomographic images of the redshifted 21-cm signal will enable direct studies of the evolution of the sizes and shapes of ionized regions during the Epoch of Reionization. However, a reliable identification of ionized regions in noisy interferometric data is not trivial. Here, we introduce an image processing method known as superpixels for this purpose. We compare this method with two other previously proposed ones, one relying on a chosen threshold and the other employing automatic threshold determination using the K-Means algorithm. We use a correlation test and compare power spectra and bubble size distributions to show that the superpixels method provides a better identification of ionized regions, especially in the case of noisy data. We also describe some possible additional applications of the superpixel method, namely the derivation of the ionization history and constraints on the source properties in specific regions.

description: The alternative to the standard formulation of QPM in the infinite momentum frame is suggested. The proposed approach does not require any extra assumptions in addition, consistently takes into account the parton transversal momenta and does not prefer any special reference system. The standard approach is involved as a limiting case. In the result the modified relations between the structure and distribution functions are obtained together with some constraint on their shape. The comparison with experimental data offers a speculation about values of effective masses of quarks, which emerge as a free parameter in the approach.

description: India is the agriculture based country. Our ancient people completely depended on the agricultural harvesting. Agricultural sector is playing vital role in Indian economy, in which irrigation mechanism is of key concern. Our work aim is to control the wastage of water in the field by using the drip irrigation and also to provide exact controlling of field by atomizing the agricultural environment by using the components and building the necessary hardware. Irrigation by help of freshwater resources in agricultural areas has a crucial importance. Because of highly increasing demand for freshwater, optimal usage of water resources has been provided with greater extent by automation technology and its apparatus such as drip irrigation, sensors and remote control. The humidity and temperature of plants are precisely monitored and controlled more efficiently, which is a real time feedback control system. By using drip irrigation the water will be maintained at the constant level i.e. the water will reach the roots by going drop by drop. Irrigation system controls valves by using automated controller to turn ON & OFF. This allows the farmer to apply the right amount of water at the right time, regardless of the availability of the labor to turn valves or motor ON & OFF. This reduces runoff over watering saturated soils avoid irrigating at the wrong time of the day. It improves crop performances and help in time saving in all the aspects. For the precisely monitoring and controlling of the agriculture filed, different types of sensors were used. To implement the proposed system ARM LPC2148 Microcontroller is used. In this work an ARM LPC2148 Microcontroller based drip irrigation mechanism is proposed, which is a real time feedback control system for monitoring and controlling all the activities of drip irrigation system more efficiently. The information is given on user request in form of SMS. Eg. GSM modem can be controlled by standard set of AT (Attention) commands. These commands can be used to control majority of the functions of GSM modem. GSM serves as an important part as it is responsible for controlling the irrigation on field and sends them to the receiver through coded signals. GSM operates through SMS’s and is the link between ARM processor and centralized unit. GSM technology is used to inform the end user about the exact field condition. The drip method of irrigation has been found to have a significant impact on resources saving, cost of cultivation, yield of crops and farm profitability.

“I Wish People Would Understand”: Exploring Ableism Through Young Adults’ Experiences of Living With Chronic Illness
Creators: name: Mackay, Anne
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this qualitative research project is to highlight the diversity of lived experiences of young adults living with chronic illnesses and to interpret the meaning attributed to these experiences. More specifically, the objectives of this study are: 1) to describe how young adults with chronic illness perceive their relationships and their social environment; 2) to identify and describe the specific challenges and oppression experienced by young adults with chronic illness; 3) to identify the strategies developed by young adults to cope with social expectations; 4) to explore how young adults with chronic illness perceive some of their experiences as positive; and 5) to propose implications for social work practice and suggest appropriate intervention methods. Data was collected by interviewing seven young adults with chronic conditions in the Ottawa region and the results were analyzed through the combined lenses of a social constructionist view disability and the phenomenology of impairment. The results of this study show that central to the experiences described by participants is discrimination resulting from ableist expectations. More specifically, the key findings demonstrate that because of dominant ableist and healthist ideologies, young adults with chronic illness experience internalized ableism. Anti-oppressive social work is proposed to challenge discrimination and address some of young adults’ needs as well as to make changes on a more structural level through collective action, advocacy, policy change and activism. Keywords : young adults, chronic illness, disability, ableism, discrimination, social construction of disability, phenomenology of impairment, anti-oppressive social work
Multielectron effects in strong-field ionization of benzene derivatives

description: Strong field ionization of benzene, fluorobenzene, benzonitrile and 1-chloro-2-fluorobenzene, is studied within the framework of real-space and real-time time-dependent density functional theory. Analysis of the ionization rates as function of the molecule orientation, reveal significant multielectron contribution from inner Kohn-Sham orbitals that depends on the electronic structure and on the orbital symmetries of the molecule, as well as on the polarization and intensity of the external laser field. Calculated photoelectron angular distributions at different molecule orientations and in response to laser fields with different degree of ellipticity, further demonstrate the spatial dependency of the orbital ionization rates.

description: In case of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with designed group velocity dispersion, variable nonlinearity and gain/loss; we analytically demonstrate the phenomenon of chirp reversal crucial for pulse reproduction. Two different scenarios are exhibited, where the pulses experience identical dispersion profiles, but show entirely different propagation behavior. Exact expressions for dynamical quasi-solitons and soliton bound-states relevant for fiber communication are also exhibited.

description: Objective: To examine real-world prescription medication usage among commercially-insured adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the US. Methods: Adults with ADHD who received ≥1 ADHD medication during 2013 were identified from a large US claims database. Combination therapy was defined as an overlap of ≥30 days between the index (first treatment ≥30 days in 2013) and another medication(s). Patients were classified into six groups: long-acting (LA) monotherapy, short-acting (SA) monotherapy, LA + LA, SA + SA, LA + SA, and >2 therapies. Analyses compared baseline characteristics by regimen, ranked combination regimens, and estimated daily average consumption (DACON) for monotherapy users. Results: Of 206,443 adults with ADHD (mean age = 32.9 years; 51.6% female), 56.9% used LA monotherapy, 30.7% SA monotherapy, and 12.5% used combination therapies (LA + SA: 10.3%; LA + LA: 1.3%; SA + SA: 0.4%; >2 therapies: 0.5%). Extended-release mixed amphetamine salts (MAS-XR, 39.2%) and lisdexamfetamine (LDX, 31.5%) were the most common LA monotherapies. Nearly all SA monotherapy patients received immediate-release mixed amphetamine salts (MAS-IR; 81.7%). The top three therapies among combination categories were: (a) LA + LA: branded MAS-XR + generic MAS-XR (13.7%), LDX + generic MAS-XR (10.8%), LDX + guanfacine ER (10.7%); (b) SA + SA: generic MAS-IR + clonidine IR (33.5%), generic MAS-IR + generic MPH SA (17.9%), branded MAS-IR + generic MAS-IR (11.1%); (c) LA + SA: generic MAS-XR+/-IR (39.2%), LDX + generic MAS-IR (16.7%), LA + SA generic MPH (12.6%). Among monotherapy users, DACON was 1.2 ± 0.6 (LA) and 2.1 ± 0.9 (SA) tablets. Conclusions: There is significant treatment heterogeneity among US adults with ADHD. A sizable proportion of patients received monotherapies at above the recommended dosages or combination therapies, suggesting existing single-tablet regimens may not meet patients’ needs.

description: An invitational meeting organized by the Centre for Rural Health Research convened to facilitate respectful dialogue with general surgeons in British Columbia; the objective was to clearly understand concerns and address questions around rural family physicians with enhanced surgical skills (FPESS). In particular, the meeting focused on interprofessional challenges that hinder the adoption of a net-work model between general surgeons and FPESS. This report summarizes the findings (n = 5) and recommendations (n = 8) made during the meeting. The meeting underscored the need for more thoughtful discussions to develop inter-professional trust and support between general surgeons and FPESS through an integrated health care system and proper networks.
A k.p treatment of edge states in narrow 2D topological insulators, with standard boundary conditions for the wave function and its derivative

description: For 2D topological insulators with strong electron-hole hybridization, such as HgTe/CdTe quantum wells, the widely used 4 x 4 k.p Hamiltonian based on the first electron and heavy hole sub-bands yields an equal number of physical and spurious solutions, for both the bulk states and the edge states. For symmetric bands and zero wave vector parallel to the sample edge, the mid-gap bulk solutions are identical to the edge solutions. In all cases, the physical edge solution is exponentially localized to the boundary and has been shown previously to satisfy standard boundary conditions for the wave function and its derivative, even in the limit of an infinite wall potential. The same treatment is now extended to the case of narrow sample widths, where for each spin direction, a gap appears in the edge state dispersions. For widths greater than 200 nm, this gap is less than half of the value reported for open boundary conditions, which are called into question because they include a spurious wave function component. The gap in the edge state dispersions is also calculated for weakly hybridized quantum wells such as InAs/GaSb/AlSb. In contrast to the strongly hybridized case, the edge states at the zone center only have pure exponential character when the bands are symmetric and when the sample has certain characteristic width values.
