description: Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of mortality in the contemporary world. Its association with smoking, elevated blood pressure, and cholesterol levels underscores the significance of these risk factors. This study addresses the challenge of predicting myocardial illness, a formidable task in medical research. Accurate predictions are pivotal for refining healthcare strategies. This investigation conducts a comparative analysis of six distinct machine learning models: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, Bagging, XGBoost, and LightGBM. The attained outcomes exhibit promise, with accuracy rates as follows: Logistic Regression (81.00%), Support Vector Machine (75.01%), XGBoost (92.72%), LightGBM (90.60%), Decision Tree (82.30%), and Bagging (83.01%). Notably, XGBoost emerges as the top-performing model. These findings underscore its potential to enhance predictive precision for coronary infarction. As the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors persists, incorporating advanced machine learning techniques holds the potential to refine proactive medical interventions.

description: The phenomenology of MOND (flat rotation curves of galaxies, baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, etc.) is a basic set of phenomena relevant to galaxy dynamics and dark matter distribution at galaxy scales. Still unexplained today, it enjoys a remarkable property, known as the dielectric analogy, which could have far-reaching implications. In the present paper we discuss this analogy in the framework of simple non-relativistic models. We show how a specific form of dark matter, made of two different species of particles coupled to different Newtonian gravitational potentials, could permit to interpret in the most natural way the dielectric analogy of MOND by a mechanism of gravitational polarization.

description: Rain streaks bring complicated pixel intensity changes and additional gradients, greatly obstructing the extraction of image features from background. This causes serious performance degradation in feature-based applications. Thus, it is critical to remove rain streaks from a single rainy image to recover image features. Recently, many excellent image deraining methods have made remarkable progress. However, these human visual system-driven approaches mainly focus on improving image quality with pixel recovery as loss function, and neglect how to enhance image feature recovery ability. To address this issue, we propose a task-driven image deraining algorithm to strengthen image feature supply for subsequent feature-based applications. Due to the extensive use and strong practicability of Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), we first propose two separate networks using distinct losses and modules to achieve two goals, respectively. One is difference of Gaussian (DoG) pyramid recovery network (DPRNet) for SIFT detection, and the other gradients of Gaussian images recovery network (GGIRNet) for SIFT description. Second, in the DPRNet we propose an alternative interest point loss that directly penalizes scale response extrema to recover the DoG pyramid. Third, we advance a gradient attention module in the GGIRNet to recover those gradients of Gaussian images. Finally, with the recovered DoG pyramid and gradients, we can regain SIFT key points. This divide-and-conquer scheme to set different objectives for SIFT detection and description leads to good robustness. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm achieves better performance in both the number of recovered SIFT key points and their accuracy.

description: We present the results based on R-band polarimetric follow-up observations of the nearby (~10 Mpc) Type II-plateau SN 2012aw. Starting from ~10 days after the SN explosion, these polarimetric observations cover ~90 days (during the plateau phase) and are distributed over 9 epochs. To characterize the Milky Way interstellar polarization (ISP_MW ), we have observed 14 field stars lying in a radius of 10 degree around the SN. We have also tried to subtract the host galaxy dust polarization component assuming that the dust properties in the host galaxy are similar to that observed for Galactic dust and the general magnetic field follow the large scale structure of the spiral arms of a galaxy. After correcting the IS_PMW , our analysis infer that SN 2012aw has maximum polarization of 0.85% +- 0.08% but polarization angle does not show much variation with a weighted mean value of ~138 degree. However, if both ISP_MW and host galaxy polarization (ISP_HG ) components are subtracted from the observed polarization values of SN, maximum polarization of the SN becomes 0.68% +- 0.08%. The distribution of Q and U parameters appears to follow a loop like structure. The evolution of polarimetric light curve (PLC) properties of this event is also compared with other well studied core-collapse supernovae of similar type.

description: We have previously developed a model of localized osteomyelitis by injecting Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) unilaterally into the femoral artery of juvenile domestic pigs (Johansen et al., 2012; Nielsen et al., 2015). We used this model for the evaluation of bone-infection tracers applicable for positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (Nielsen et al., 2015). However, several of the 40 kg pigs were euthanized prior to PET and SPECT scanning due to lameness, shallow respiration, fever and anorexia; the last three clinical signs indicating dissemination of S. aureus to the lungs and other internal organs. We therefore decided to refine our model in order to improve the success rate. We speculated that younger pigs might respond differently to inoculations. A total of ten female domestic pigs were included in our study, three with a body weight of 40 kg (

description: The use of peripheral nerves as donor nerves for peripheral nerve regeneration studies, which can provide a long peripheral nerve with intact physiological functions, for autologous nerve grafts was unknown in swine. This study investigated the surgical anatomy of sural nerves (nervus suralis) of cadavers and anesthetized miniature pigs. A loose-S shape incision line was made from the border of the biceps femoris muscle (musculus biceps femoris) to 2 cm above the calx in the leg of anesthetized miniature pigs. The sural nerve was found to branch from the sciatic nerve (nervus ischiadicus) under the biceps femoris muscle and run along the small saphenous vein (vena saphena parva). After being isolated and stimulated using a nerve stimulator, the sural nerve innervated no muscles and tissues in the leg. The sural nerve (14.5

When these conditions are met, the work statistics satisfies the Crooks fluctuation theorem traditionally derived for deterministic drivings. We illustrate this fact by calculating and comparing the work statistics for a two-level system driven respectively by a stochastic and a deterministic piecewise constant protocol.

title: Probing the stability of halide perovskite films using electron spectroscopy techniques.
Creators: name: Tiwari, Udit
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: Halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention from the photovoltaic research community due to the rapid advancements in reported device efficiencies. This attention is also fuelled by their easy solution processability compared to the extensive and costly crystallisation process required for traditional silicon solar cells. However, the structural instability of perovskites, particularly under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, hampers their potential for commercialisation. This thesis attempts to explore the underlying mechanisms responsible for this instability and aims to address it through modification of the perovskite with additives.

The response of two halide perovskites, CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbBr3, to high-temperature exposure is initially discussed utilising X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The primary objective is to understand the role of halide ions in the structural stability of perovskites. Analysis reveals that CH3NH3PbBr3 exhibits greater resistance to heating compared to CH3NH3PbI3, and a proposed degradation mechanism explains this difference in thermal stabilities. The incorporation of ionic liquids (ILs) BMIMBF4 and BMIMCl into a mixed-halide perovskite is investigated, employing a range of analytical techniques such as XPS, work function measurements, Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS), Angle-resolved Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (Ar-HAXPES), and Near-Ambient Pressure XPS (NAP-XPS) to study the thermal and moisture resistance of the films. The role of the incorporated ILs, as well as the addition of a SnO2 electron transport layer (ETL), is investigated. Results indicate that the combined effect of ILs and SnO2 enhances the stability of the perovskite against heat and moisture. Finally, an investigation into perovskite modification using the two zwitterionic methylamines, TMAO and betaine, utilising XPS, Ar-HAXPES, and NAP-XPS is presented. The study demonstrates that TMAO-modified samples exhibit notable heat tolerance, while betaine-modified samples showcase superior moisture endurance.

Overall, this thesis provides new insights into the intrinsic mechanisms governing the degradation of perovskites and the role of additives in stabilising perovskite materials. These results could inform the future design of perovskite solar cells.

description: Purpose: To develop a minimally invasive and reproducible model of aortic stenosis in rabbits using radiofrequency ablation technique (RFA). Material and methods: Eleven rabbits were studied. A radiofrequency ablation catheter was introduced via the femoral artery and advanced to the aortic valve area under fluoroscopic control. In three rabbits radiofrequency energies, at 5 W, 10 W and 15 W respectively, were applied thrice for 90 sec. In eight rabbits, energy of 15 W was applied for the same time periods. The velocity of the blood through the aortic valve was determined by color Doppler ultrasound immediately before and after ablation and after six weeks. After six weeks the rabbits were sacrificed and the aortic valve was examined macroscopically. Results: Peak systolic velocity (PSV) was similar at the time of ablation and after six weeks in eight of the nine surviving rabbits, and had increased from 1.1 to 1.75 m/s in one rabbit. Two rabbits developed aortic insufficiencies visualized by color Doppler. No macroscopic changes were seen at the aortic valve area 6 weeks after ablation. Conclusion: In the current study we did not succeed in inducing aortic valve damage/fibrosis using different RFA energies. Inadequate RFA power or inappropriate positioning of the RFA catheter could be limitations of our study.

description: Numerical evaluation of ruin probabilities in the classical risk model is an important problem. If claim sizes are heavy-tailed, then such evaluations are challenging. To overcome this, an attractive way is to approximate the claim sizes with a phase-type distribution. What is not clear though is how many phases are enough in order to achieve a specific accuracy in the approximation of the ruin probability. The goals of this paper are to investigate the number of phases required so that we can achieve a pre-specified accuracy for the ruin probability and to provide error bounds. Also, in the special case of a completely monotone claim size distribution we develop an algorithm to estimate the ruin probability by approximating the excess claim size distribution with a hyperexponential one. Finally, we compare our approximation with the heavy traffic and heavy tail approximations.

description: To investigate the relative amount of ejecta from high-mass versus intermediate-mass stars and to trace the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, we have performed with the IRAM 30m and the SMT 10m telescopes a systematic study of Galactic interstellar 18O/17O ratios toward a sample of 421 molecular clouds, covering a galactocentric distance range of 1-22 kpc. The results presented in this paper are based on the J=2-1 transition and encompass 364 sources showing both C18O and C17O detections. The previously suggested 18O/17O gradient is confirmed. For the 41 sources detected with both facilities, good agreement is obtained. A correlation of 18O/17O ratios with heliocentric distance is not found, indicating that beam dilution and linear beam sizes are not relevant. For the subsample of IRAM 30 m high-mass star-forming regions with accurate parallax distances, an unweighted fit gives 18O/17O = (0.12+-0.02)R_GC+(2.38+-0.13) with a correlation coefficient of R = 0.67. While the slope is consistent with our J=1-0 measurement, ratios are systematically lower. This should be caused by larger optical depths of C18O 2-1 lines, w.r.t the corresponding 1-0 transitions, which is supported by RADEX calculations and the fact that C18O/C17O is positively correlated with 13CO/C18O. After considering optical depth effects with C18O J=2-1 reaching typically an optical depth of 0.5, corrected 18O/17O ratios from the J=1-0 and J=2-1 lines become consistent. A good numerical fit to the data is provided by the MWG-12 model, including both rotating stars and novae.

description: We report on radio-to-gamma-ray observations during 2011 May-September of PMN J0948+0022, the first narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy detected in gamma-rays by Fermi-LAT. Strong variability was observed in gamma-rays, with two flaring periods peaking on 2011 June 20 and July 28. The variability observed in optical and near-infrared seems to have no counterpart in gamma-rays. This different behaviour could be related to a bending and inhomogeneous jet or a turbulent extreme multi-cell scenario. The radio spectra showed a variability pattern typical of relativistic jets. The XMM spectrum shows that the emission from the jet dominates above 2 keV, while a soft X-ray excess is evident in the low-energy part of the X-ray spectrum. Models where the soft emission is partly produced by blurred reflection or Comptonisation of the thermal disc emission provide good fits to the data. The X-ray spectral slope is similar to that found in radio-quiet NLSy1, suggesting that a standard accretion disc is present, as expected from the high accretion rate. Except for the soft X-ray excess, unusual in jet-dominated AGNs, PMN J0948+0022 shows all characteristics of the blazar class.

description: Music is known to be able to elicit emotional changes, including anxiolytic effects on humans and animals. Photoperiod has also been reported to play an important role in the modulation of anxiety. In the present study, we examined whether the effect of music on anxiety is influenced by day length, comparing, short day (SD; 8:16 h light/dark) and long day (LD; 16:8 h light/dark) with controls (CD; 12:12 h light/dark). After 8 weeks of photoperiod treatment, rats were randomly assigned to 2 groups: silence and music. In the music group, rats were exposed to music 24 h before behavioral tests to quantify anxiety level. Exposure to Mozart music reduced anxiety in rats in the CD group. These effects of music were abolished by LD. Independently of music, rats exposed to SD exhibited higher levels of anxiety-like behavior than rats exposed to CD, in elevated plus-maze and open-field tests. The present findings suggest that the anxiolytic effects of Mozart music are photoperiod-dependent.

description: Estimating bruise age is a central issue in both human and veterinary forensic medicine. Since 1957 experimental animal models have been developed in order to find an objective way for dating bruises. Experimental bruises have been inflicted in cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, mice and rats, and in young and mature animals of both sexes. Although a number of analyses have addressed the timing of bruises, a consensus regarding an optimal method for determining bruise age has not been achieved. In this paper, a review of experimental animal models of bruises is presented.

description: Thirty-two ewes were used to determine whether individual housing, allowing contact with neighbours, induces a stress response. Ewes were housed in individual pens designed to allow the ewes to see, hear, smell and touch adjacent animals, and were distributed into four groups (n=8/group): ewes with subcutaneous implants containing melatonin and oestradiol (M+E), melatonin (M), oestradiol (E) and non-implanted control ewes (C). Heart rate, stress indicators (plasma cortisol, glucose, lactate and creatine kinase (CK) concentrations) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations were measured hourly and compared with the resting values (before and after pen housing). Heart rate increased significantly during the introduction into the pen (P<0.001) in all groups, in comparison with the resting values. No significant differences between groups were observed for cortisol concentrations, with the exception of the M group, which showed the highest response (P<0.001) when ewes were introduced into the pens. Lactate, CK and glucose changes in comparison with the resting values were similar between groups. LH concentrations during pen housing decreased significantly in all groups in comparison with resting values. In conclusion, individual confinement of sheep allowing visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile contact with their neighbouring animals was not an obstacle for investigating particular hormonal interrelationships with multiple sampling procedures. However further investigations are required to determine if this conclusion applies to other hormone systems in sheep.

description: Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) are increasingly used as a laboratory model, but published information on their blood cell morphology has not been available. The aim of this study was to describe the morphologic characteristics of peripheral blood cells of P. sungorus. Erythrocytes had an average diameter of 6.02 ?m, ranging between 4 and 7.5 ?m; thus they were smaller than those of other Cricetine (hamster) species. Polychromatic (immature) erythrocytes were relatively abundant, as is common in rodent species. The differential count of leukocytes was similar to that of the golden hamster. The percentage of neutrophils and monocytes was slightly higher than in the golden hamster, while that of lymphocytes was somewhat lower. Neutrophils ranged in size from10-12 ?m, containing neutrophilic granules and well-defined nuclear lobes. Lymphocytes diameters were 9-12 ?m. Small lymphocytes were the most abundant. Monocytes ranged in size from 10-16 ?m, being the largest cells. Eosinophils varied in size from 10-14 ?m, and displayed a ringed nucleus.

description: We analyze theoretically the transport properties of a weakly-interacting ultracold Bose gas enclosed in two reservoirs connected by a constriction. We assume that the transport of the superfluid part is hydrodynamic, and we describe the ballistic transport of the normal part using the Landauer-Buttiker formalism. Modeling the coupled evolution of the phase, atom number, and temperature mismatches between the reservoirs, we predict that Helmholtz (plasma) oscillations, induced by an initial imbalance in atom numbers, can be observed at non-zero temperatures below Tc. We show that, because of its strong compressibility, the ultracold Bose gas is characterized by a fast thermalization compared to the damping time for plasma oscillations, accompanied by a fast transfer of the normal component through the constriction. This fast thermalization also affects the gas above Tc, where we present an explicit comparison to the ideal fermionic case.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The study had examined the effect of sales promotion on the customer buying behaviour in the case of Cabebe diaper. The sample populations of the study were customers of Cabebe diaper users in Addis Ababa. Quantitative research approach been adopted in selecting a sample size of 385. primary data were collected using questionnaires from the customers of the product and then collected 371 responses, and descriptive and explanatory research design was used the data collected were carefully edited, coded, encoded using spread sheet and analysed by using SPSS, The results of the analysis revealed that lottery, buy one get one free and premium were identified by the customers of canbebe diaper as factors determining their buying behavior, In accordance with existing empirical literature the results of the present study have supported the established relationship between buying behavior and sales promotion, The result of the study indicated that the identified factors (lottery, buy one get one free and premium)have significant relationship with customer buying behaviour , according to their respective extent lottery system have the strongest positive relationship and buy one get one free have relatively lower positive effect on customer buying behaviour of Cabebe diaper following , premium type have slightly lower effect, With these findings the study provides many implications to increase the buying behaviour of can Bebe diaper by recommending that the company must strengthen the use of sales promotion as customers have shown great interest and are highly influenced by sales promotion activities.

Temporary negative results of serological monitoring of rats with enzootic Haemophilus infection

description: Infection by V-factor requiring Pasteurellaceae (Haemophilus spp) bacteria frequently occurs in Specified Pathogen Free (SPF) colonies of rats. Colonies may be monitored by methods that either detect the bacteria or detect specific antibodies by for instance the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot (IB). Breeding females in enzootically infected colonies transfer antibodies to their young. Maternal immunity prevents the development of antibodies by the pups yielding a transition period of low antibody activity in the pups between waning maternal immunity and seroconversion. We studied antibody activity to Haemophilus antigens in young rats delivered by Haemophilus infected dams by ELISA and IB using antigens of Haemophilus strains H21 (from rat) and H35 (from guinea pig). Young showed high ELISA and IB maternal antibody activity until weaning, a decline to a low level between 9 and 12 weeks of age, and then seroconversion. As a consequence seroprevalence varied with age and during the transition period H21 ELISA yielded a false negative result in Haemophilus infected rats. The age-related variation in antibody activity in enzootically infected rodents has an impact on the development of sampling strategies for serological health monitoring and interpretation of its results.

description: WZ Sagittae is the prototype object of a subclass of dwarf novae, with rare and long (super)outbursts, in which a white dwarf primary accretes matter from a low mass companion. High-energy observations offer the possibility of a better understanding of the disk-accretion mechanism in WZ Sge-like binaries. We used archival XMM-Newton and Swift data to characterize the X-ray spectral and temporal properties of WZ Sge in quiescence. We performed a detailed timing analysis of the simultaneous X-ray and UV light curves obtained with the EPIC and OM instruments on board XMM-Newton in 2003. We employed several techniques in this study, including a correlation study between the two curves. We also performed an X-ray spectral analysis using the EPIC data, as well as Swift/XRT data obtained in 2011. We find that the X-ray intensity is clearly modulated at a period of about 28.96 s, confirming previously published preliminary results. We find that the X-ray spectral shape of WZ Sge remains practically unchanged between the XMM-Newton and Swift observations. However, after correcting for inter-stellar absorption, the intrinsic luminosity is estimated to be about 2.65X10^ 30 erg/s/cm^2 and 1.57X10^30 erg/s/cm^2 in 2003 and 2011, respectively. During the Swift/XRT observation, the observed flux is a factor of about 2 lower than that observed by XMM-Newton, but is similar to the quiescent levels observed various times before the 2001 outburst.

description: Inherent properties of superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x films, such as the high superconducting transition temperature Tc, efficient Josephson coupling between neighboring CuO layers, and fast quasiparticle relaxation dynamics, make them a promising platform for advances in quantum computing and communication technologies. However, preserving two-dimensional superconductivity during device fabrication is an outstanding experimental challenge because of the fast degradation of the superconducting properties of two-dimensional flakes when they are exposed to moisture, organic sol vents, and heat. Here, to realize superconducting devices utilizing two-dimensional superconducting films, we develop a novel fabrication technique relying on the cryogenic dry transfer of printable circuits embedded into a silicon nitride membrane. This approach separates the circuit fabrication stage requiring chemically reactive substances and ionizing physical processes from the creation of the thin superconducting structures. Apart from providing electrical contacts in a single transfer step, the membrane encapsulates the surface of the crystal shielding it from the environment. The fabricated atomically thin Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x-based devices show high superconducting transition temperature Tc ~ 91 K close to that of the bulk crystal and demonstrate stable super conducting properties

description: We study the long time behaviour of the solutions of the third grade fluids equations in dimension 2. Introducing scaled variables and performing several energy estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces, we describe the first order of an asymptotic expansion of these solutions. It shows in particular that, under smallness assumptions on the data, the solutions of the third grade fluids equations converge to self-similar solutions of the heat equations, which can be computed explicitly from the data.
