description: We consider weakly bound diatomic molecules (dimers) formed in a two-component atomic Fermi gas with a large positive scattering length for the interspecies interaction. We develop a theoretical approach for calculating atom-dimer and dimer-dimer elastic scattering and for analyzing the inelastic collisional relaxation of the molecules into deep bound states. This approach is based on the single-channel zero range approximation, and we find that it is applicable in the vicinity of a wide two-body Feshbach resonance. Our results draw prospects for various interesting manipulations of weakly bound dimers of fermionic atoms.

description: The statistical property of the calm times, i.e., time intervals between successive earthquakes with arbitrary values of magnitude, is studied by analyzing the seismic time series data in California and Japan. It is found that the calm times obey the Zipf-Mandelbrot power law, exhibiting a new scale-free nature of the earthquake phenomenon. Dependence of the exponent of the power-law distribution on threshold for magnitude is examined. As threshold increases, the tail of the distribution tends to become longer, showing difficulty in statistically estimating time intervals of earthquakes.

description: To exam how qualitative research is built in articles involving the Transaction Costs Theory (TCT), considering publications listed from 2007 to 2011 of the congress of Brazilian Society for Rural Economics, Administration and Sociology (Sober) is the aim of this paper. Therefore, it was considered, mainly, methodological aspects related to the research types, time frame, collection methods, data types and analysis methods used. For this purpose, it was carried a qualitative research, descriptive and exploratory type, with theoretical approach, cut cross-sectional and longitudinal perspective based on secondary data. The results showed that most of the articles analyzed involved qualitative research, exploratory type, with cross-cut and questionnaire, followed by structured interviews, as the predominate data collection methods. The primary data, along with the secondary data, were the most used. The analysis methods were not clear in any of the selected quality articles. Three situations were observed: a) they are not cited; b) they are cited, but not explained or observed in the analysis; c) they are quoted and explained, but not adopted in the analysis. It was concluded that the lack of methodological rigor, specifically in collecting and analyzing data, affected the results, reducing the possibility of the contribution of works for advances of knowledge involving the TCT.

description: In recent years, streaming music platforms have become very popular mainly due to the huge number of songs these systems make available to users. This enormous availability means that recommendation mechanisms that help users to select the music they like need to be incorporated. However, developing reliable recommender systems in the music field involves dealing with many problems, some of which are generic and widely studied in the literature, while others are specific to this application domain and are therefore less well-known. This work is focused on two important issues that have not received much attention: managing gray-sheep users and obtaining implicit ratings. The first one is usually addressed by resorting to content information that is often difficult to obtain. The other drawback is related to the sparsity problem that arises when there are obstacles to gather explicit ratings. In this work, the referred shortcomings are addressed by means of a recommendation approach based on the users' streaming sessions. The method is aimed at managing the well-known power-law probability distribution representing the listening behavior of users. This proposal improves the recommendation reliability of collaborative filtering methods while reducing the complexity of the procedures used so far to deal with the gray-sheep problem.

description: The number of patients with minor and major accidents coming into accident and emergency care is steadily rising due to increasing life spans and the aging of our society. In order to ensure efficient care and health of human beings, medical methods need to be optimized. The fixation and adhesion between tissues, implants or scaffolds have to be refined, but the number and versatility of biomimetic and biocompatible adhesives that can be used for such purpose is limited. In the last few years studies of phosphorus-based polymers have attracted attention because of their large variety of applications. In the field of adhesion promotors and tissue engineering they have been subject of great interest. These phosphorus-based materials are proved to be biodegradable, blood-compatible and led to strong interactions with bones, enamel or dentin. The problem in measuring the adhesion properties of bone glue is to distinguish between cohesive and adhesive behavior and little information is known from processes at the molecular level. In this thesis, new approach is to measure the adhesion via single molecule force microscopy (SMFM). Therefore, AFM tips had to be functionalized to investigate the adhesion of two amino acid sequences, of a dopamine compound and of the adhesive block copolymers on different substrates. We were interested in the development of such polymers for adhesion properties. Therefore, phosphorus-containing methacrylates were polymerized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. This polymerization technique had proved to be a highly versatile and widely applicable living radical polymerization method. It allows the synthesis of well-defined polymers with different architectures. Hence, it is possible to form a narrow distributed block copolymer. These block copolymers can bind to hydroxyl, carboxylic or amino groups of the organic collagen of a bone and form complexes with Ca2+ ions in the inorganic components.

description: The mean abundances of Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr and Fe based on both strong and weak lines of Alpha Centauri A are determined by matching the observed line profiles with those synthesized from stellar atmospheric models and comparing these results with a similar analysis for the Sun. There is good agreement between the abundances from strong and weak lines. Strong lines should generally be an excellent indicator of abundance and far easier to measure than the weak lines normally used. Until the development of the Anstee, Barklem and O'Mara theory for collisional line broadening, the uncertainty in the value of the damping constant prevented strong lines being used for abundance determinations other than in close differential analyses. We found that Alpha Centauri A has a mean overabundance of 0.12+/-0.06 dex compared to solar mean abundances. This result agrees remarkably well with previous studies that did not use strong lines or the Anstee, Barklem and O'Mara theory for collisional line broadening. Our result support the conclusion that reliable abundances can be derived from strong lines provided this new theory for line broadening is used to calculate the van der Waal's damping.

We introduce a method that uses historical user interactions to forecast which entities will gain in popularity and become trending, and it subsequently integrates the predictions within the Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) component of the VA. Experiments show that our proposed approach results in a 20% relative reduction in errors on emerging entity name utterances without degrading the overall recognition quality of the system.

Massively Parallel Hybrid TLM-PEEC Solver and Model Order Reduction for 3D Nonlinear Electromagnetic Transient Analysis
Creators: Madhawa Ranasinghe, Venkata Dinavahi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2024

Electromagnetic (EM) equipment are ubiquitous in electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution systems, and they should be studied for reliable and continuous operation under switching operations, faults, and other transient conditions. Conventional lumped models lack the capability to consider EM field interactions, while distributed methods, such as the finite element method (FEM), are widely employed to address these interactions. The partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method has gained interest in EM modeling due to its equivalent circuit behavior and its potential for optimization using circuit solver techniques. This article extends the hybrid transmission line modeling (TLM)-based PEEC 2-D solver for 3-D EM transient simulations, providing detailed information on the matrix solver, time-domain algorithm, the parallelized the Newton–Raphson (N–R) solver for nonlinear magnetics, and a suitable model order reduction (MOR) method. The hybrid TLM–PEEC technique decouples the nonlinear elements from the linear network, providing individual solutions for each unknown through N–R iterations, thereby enabling parallel computing. The proper orthogonal decomposition method, a MOR technique, was integrated into the hybrid TLM–PEEC method to improve performance by removing unnecessary features in the system. The parallelization of the methods has been fully explored and implemented on both many-core graphics processing unit and multicore central processing unit, enabling field-oriented transient simulation for a 3-phase 3-D core-type transformer coupled with external circuits, as well as quasi-static 3-D simulation for a high-voltage insulator. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed architectures were verified through simulation results obtained from similar case studies implemented in Comsol Multiphysics.

description: The future shortage of fossil energy is not shared by the entire academy, but the need of renewable energy sources is a consensus. Based on this, the ethanol from sugarcane in Brazil becomes an excellent energy alternative by offering better indicators, such as: less land intensity, lower production costs and larger CO2 reduction when compared with other energy producing crops. However, there are no studies that estimate the long run ethanol demand using panel data or either estimate it at regional level. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the price, income and cross price demand elasticities for ethanol in the short and long run. The estimates are both at national and regional levels for Brazil, from July 2001 to July 2011, on a monthly basis. Panel data econometrics are used and forecasts use the following estimators: General Least Squares (GLS) with correction for heteroscedasticity for short run and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) for long run. Results indicate that ethanol is price elastic, with elasticity around -1.42 and -3.30 for the short and long run, respectively. There was an increase of cross and price elasticities in the short run in the post-flex period.
Freedom and the war on terror in the digital age

description: Advances in Computer Science continue to provide more tools, each time more efficient, to aid us in our everyday lives with everything from work to entertainment, from health to management of natural resources. Technology has made our lives better and continues to facilitate progress. But just as it can benefit us, it is only a tool. That tool itself is not ’good’ or ’evil’; it is only useful to achieve the ends of those who utilize it. And just as it has been used for benefit, there have been cases where its use had a detrimental impact to us. Given the benefits, who is to deny that a government can keep track of its citizens in the same way a business keeps track of all its assets? The discussion here will centre on this question, where we suspect that, given technological advances, governments are tempted to achieve this goal. The purpose is to present some of the policies that governments in North America and Europe have proposed and/or adopted with respect to technology and national security, and point out flaws that could allow the undue erosion of privacy and free speech in the electronic world as a consequence. We reflect upon those measures that seem unjustified and unnecessary even in the face of terrorism, and argue that none of them include adequate safeguards to minimize the risk of abuse. We hope the reader will realize that none of the measures discussed admit that technology can accommodate the protection of civil liberties as well as security. We also argue that at least in Canada’s case, not counting academia and civil rights groups, policies and laws introduced as a consequence of the events of 9/11 seem to receive little attention from the public at large. Citizens would appear to be unaware of what is being done to mitigate the terrorist threat. Indeed, amidst such legislative actions, we may be getting used to living in a permanent state of war. We hope our conclusions give an insight into the current landscape of privacy protection in North America and, to some extent, Europe.

description: We present near-infrared and millimeter investigations of the nucleus of the infrared luminous galaxy NGC 4418, which previous observations suggest possesses a powerful buried AGN. We found the following main results: (1) The infrared K-band spectrum shows CO absorption features at 2.3-2.4 micron owing to stars and very strong H2 emission lines. The luminosity ratios of H2 emission lines are suggestive of a thermal origin, and the equivalent width of the H2 1-0 S(1) line is the second largest observed to date in an external galaxy, after the well-studied strong H2-emitting galaxy NGC 6240. (2) The infrared L-band spectrum shows a clear polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission feature at 3.3 micron, which is usually found in star-forming galaxies. The estimated star-formation luminosity from the observed PAH emission can account for only a small fraction of the infrared luminosity. (3) Millimeter interferometric observations of the nucleus reveal a high HCN (1-0) to HCO+ (1-0) luminosity ratio of 1.8, as has been previously found in pure AGNs. (4) The measurements of HCN (1-0) luminosity using a single-dish millimeter telescope show that the HCN (1-0) to infrared luminosity ratio is slightly larger than the average, but within the scattered range, for other infrared luminous galaxies. All of these results can be explained by the scenario in which, in addition to energetically-insignificant, weakly-obscured star-formation at the surface of the nucleus, a powerful X-ray emitting AGN deeply buried in dust and high density molecular gas is present.

description: This study evaluates the consumption characteristics of sugar and products containing sugar based on data from the Brazilian Family Budget Surveys carried out in 2002/03 and 2008/09. The methodological approach consists in estimating the income elasticities, as proposed by Hoffmann (1983, 2010), to capture changes in elasticities as income varies. The results show a significant reduction in per capita consumption and expenditure with crystal and refined sugar in the period, while the consumption of sugar through products containing sugar has increased. In addition, the income elasticity estimated for industrial products was much higher than for sugar, suggesting that there is a growing preference for industrial products as income increases.

description: Measures to stimulate the demand for some manufacturing products have been carried out by the Brazilian government. However, the country is admittedly competitive in its agricultural production and policies to encourage its demand have not been established in the same magnitude as those of manufacturing products. This study aimed to verify whether the increased demand on manufacturing products, encouraged by the government in the economy, causes larger impacts than incentives in the agricultural production, raw or processed, which justifies the choice of sectors benefiting from the recent policies in the country. It was observed that the aggregated impact when considering the agroindustrial sectors was higher than that for manufacturing sectors evaluated. It was also found that, for the same size of land cultivated in the country, the impacts on employment, remuneration, production value and GDP in the economy are 2-4 times higher when the product is processed than if considered only the demand increase for the raw product. Therefore, incentives on the demand for the Brazilian agroindustrial products can generate more significant growth and employment in the country than increasing demand for manufacturing products.

description: An innovative methodology in the Paraguayan context was implemented to train rural extensionists in the Department of Caazapá. It aimed at the empowerment and the transformation of rural extension practices, looking for a more horizontal and participatory model of interaction. In order to reach these objectives, eight monthly training modules were implemented, in which reflexive processes about the problems faced by rural extensionists in their practice and spaces aimed at the construction of proposals to overcome them were implemented. In this article, the implementation, as well as the impact of the training process in the rural extensionists’ beliefs, are described and evaluated at a qualitative and a quantitative level. Evidence shows that the implemented methodology significantly transformed the way in which practitioners perceive their role in the context of extension work. Now, they conceive themselves as facilitators that have to work jointly with farmers, instead of those who have to bring them all the solutions.

The information was generated from semi-structured interviews focused on the motivations to migrate from the city to the country and the integration of migrants to host social space. The analysis allowed establishing four types of new rural people: a) neo-rural for comparative attraction, b) neo-rural for ethical-political attraction, c) neo-rural for economic-productive attraction and d) neo-rural for expulsion. It is concluded that the neoruralism is a localized expression, variable with the social context of the occurrence.

description: Based on different theoretical approaches on markets, the article analyzes the marketing mechanisms deployed by family fruit growers in the northeast of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). The area is of particular interest as a local production system which has been experiencing a retraction process, in sharp contrast with the expansion of soybeans oriented to the world markets. The analysis considers the nature of the links established and the composition of capitals as determinants of market insertion, and regards markets as areas of social interaction where new relationships are built. It argues that the diversification of sale channels reinforces the diversification found in the productive level, and that the circuits dominated by large companies and local markets are used in a complementary way by family farmers, instead of being mutually exclusive alternatives.

description: Deep learning is transforming many areas in science, and it has great potential in modeling molecular systems. However, unlike the mature deployment of deep learning in computer vision and natural language processing, its development in molecular modeling and simulations is still at an early stage, largely because the inductive biases of molecules are completely different from those of images or texts. Footed on these differences, we first reviewed the limitations of traditional deep learning models from the perspective of molecular physics, and wrapped up some relevant technical advancement at the interface between molecular modeling and deep learning. We do not focus merely on the ever more complex neural network models, instead, we emphasize the theories and ideas behind modern deep learning. We hope that transacting these ideas into molecular modeling will create new opportunities. For this purpose, we summarized several representative applications, ranging from supervised to unsupervised and reinforcement learning, and discussed their connections with the emerging trends in deep learning. Finally, we outlook promising directions which may help address the existing issues in the current framework of deep molecular modeling.
title: Exploring Oxytocin and Vasopressin Receptor Dysregulation in Schizophrenia: Insights From Postmortem Brain Tissue Investigations
Creators: name: Snowden, Ariel W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic psychiatric condition, in which affected individuals experience symptoms including hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that are not there), delusions (false beliefs about others/situations), and cognitive deficits (difficulties with attention and working memory). In addition, individuals with schizophrenia often experience difficulties understanding the emotions and intentions of other people and tend to isolate themselves from other people. These social symptoms often persist—or can be worsened—with current antipsychotic medications. Due to their known role in facilitating a wide range of social behavior in animals and humans (e.g., social attachment, trust, social reward), the oxytocin and vasopressin hormone systems of the brain have become a target of interest for treating the social symptoms in schizophrenia. Although clinical trials have been conducted to determine the efficacy of drugs targeting the two hormonal systems, little progress has been made toward our understanding of whether these systems are altered in the brain in schizophrenia. The current thesis explores the role of the oxytocin receptor and vasopressin receptor systems in postmortem brain tissue of individuals who had schizophrenia, aiming to shed light on how altered functioning may contribute to the social symptoms observed in schizophrenia. The objectives of this thesis are first to examine the levels of oxytocin and vasopressin (1a) receptors in the brain in schizophrenia in regions involved in social perception (superior temporal sulcus), in oxytocin and vasopressin synthesis (hypothalamus), and in a brain region known to express very high levels of oxytocin receptor in humans (substantia nigra). Second, to examine whether oxytocin receptor functioning is altered at the genetic level, by measuring oxytocin receptor mRNA expression. The studies in this thesis detail alterations in the oxytocin receptor in the hypothalamus, and sex and age-dependent alterations in the vasopressin 1a receptor system in the superior temporal sulcus in schizophrenia, while oxytocin receptor functioning (at the protein and genetic levels) seems to be preserved in the substantia nigra in schizophrenia. This thesis contributes to our understanding of altered hormonal systems in the brain in schizophrenia, providing insights into potential targets for treating social impairments in schizophrenia.

description: We present an resonating valence bond (RVB) theory of superconductivity for the Hubbard--Heisenberg model on an anisotropic triangular lattice. We show that these calculations are consistent with the observed phase diagram of the half-filled layered organic superconductors, such as the beta, beta', kappa and lambda phases of (BEDT-TTF)_2X [bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] and (BETS)_2X [bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene]. We find a first order transition from a Mott insulator to a d_{x^2-y^2} superconductor with a small superfluid stiffness and a pseudogap with d_{x^2-y^2} symmetry. The Mott--Hubbard transition can be driven either by increasing the on-site Coulomb repulsion, U, or by changing the anisotropy of the two hopping integrals, t'/t. Our results suggest that the ratio t'/t plays an important role in determining the phase diagram of the organic superconductors.

description: This paper aims at identifying, describing and analyzing the problems faced by Argentine rural extensionists in their practice. To this end, a survey was conducted, which was replied by 219 extensionists. Problems appearing repeatedly in the open replies were categorized using Atlas Ti software. After that, results were quantified, to which end the presence of a specific problem described by a category at least once was considered as presence of the variable in that survey. Next, using SPSS software the relationship between the most important problems identified and other variables were studied. It is concluded that (1) individualism, distrust and lack of farmers’ associations, (2) problems to sell the produce and (3) lack of public support and of rural development policies are the most frequently problems mentioned by the participants.

Statistical mechanics of general discrete nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger models: Localization transition and its relevance for Klein-Gordon lattices

description: We extend earlier work [Phys.Rev.Lett. 84, 3740 (2000)] on the statistical mechanics of the cubic one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS) equation to a more general class of models, including higher dimensionalities and nonlinearities of arbitrary degree. These extensions are physically motivated by the desire to describe situations with an excitation threshold for creation of localized excitations, as well as by recent work suggesting non-cubic DNLS models to describe Bose-Einstein condensates in deep optical lattices, taking into account the effective condensate dimensionality. Considering ensembles of initial conditions with given values of the two conserved quantities, norm and Hamiltonian, we calculate analytically the boundary of the 'normal' Gibbsian regime corresponding to infinite temperature, and perform numerical simulations to illuminate the nature of the localization dynamics outside this regime for various cases. Furthermore, we show quantitatively how this DNLS localization transition manifests itself for small-amplitude oscillations in generic Klein-Gordon lattices of weakly coupled anharmonic oscillators (in which energy is the only conserved quantity), and determine conditions for existence of persistent energy localization over large time scales.

description: Poverty, a major national challenge, is a situation or lifestyle which arises as a result of the lack of resources to meet basic human needs, such as food, health and housing. In 2008, the Food Bank of Veracruz, A.C. (BAV) signed a cooperation agreement with the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Veracruz. Since then, workshops on dairy products making as well as workshops on meat products manufacturing has been taught and have had an impact on participants and communities nutrition. Whole milk received from donation was pasteurized and processed. Cheese and yogurt produced were integrated into the basic food baskets donated to beneficiaries. Almost 8000 families from 27 different neighborhoods in the Veracruz-Boca del Rio metropolitan area were benefited. Research has also been a component associated to these activities, for example, a pork sausage added with different percentages of textured soybean was tested, in order to increase its protein content and offer a better nutritive value product for human consumption. The collaborative effort is now seeking to empower people who participated in the previous workshops teaching them now courses on business projects, so they can be self-employed and become financially independent in the future. Several schools of the University of Veracruz are involved in teaching workshops for dairy and meat making products and in training these people to integrate an association that could help them to create and promote small businesses (SMEs). It is concluded that to solve complex problems, such as food poverty, a collaborative interdisciplinary approach linking several agencies of various kinds and different educational institutions is required. Such approach will optimize the strengths each one of the participants have and will maximize the chances of success.

description: We study non-locally coupled noisy integrate-and-fire neurons with the Fokker-Planck equation. A propagating pulse state and a wavy state appear as a phase transition from an asynchronous state. We also find a solution in which traveling pulses are emitted periodically from a pacemaker region.
