description: In this paper, we propose a method for simulating realizations of two-dimensional anisotropic fractional Brownian fields (AFBF) introduced by Bonami and Estrade (2003). The method is adapted from a generic simulation method called the turning-band method (TBM) due to Matheron (1973). The TBM reduces the problem of simulating a field in two dimensions by combining independent processes simulated on oriented bands. In the AFBF context, the simulation fields are constructed by discretizing an integral equation arising from the application of the TBM to non-stationary anisotropic fields. This guarantees the convergence of simulations as the step of discretization is decreased. The construction is followed by a theoretical study of the convergence rate (the detailed proofs are available in the online Supplementary Materials). Another key feature of this work is the simulation of band processes. Using self-similarity properties, processes are simulated exactly on bands with a circulant embedding method, so that simulation errors are exclusively due to the field approximation. Moreover, we design a Dynamic Programming algorithm that selects band orientations achieving the optimal trade-off between computational cost and precision. Finally, we conduct a numerical study showing that the approximation error does not significantly depend on the regularity of the fields to be simulated, nor on their degree of anisotropy. Experiments also suggest that simulations preserve the statistical properties of the original field. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 60G60; 60G22; 60-04.

description: A trend analysis was conducted on the influence of socio-economic (SES) status on obesity levels in Canadian baby boomers over time. Two, large-scale national studues conducted 10 years apart were analyzed. Partial support was found for convergence of SES and obesity associations over time, including differences by sex. In the 2004 associations for males, results indicated that measures of income were positively associated with obesity while post-secondary graduation showed an opposite association. In the 2004 associations for females, the relationships between measures of education and obesity were reversed.

description: Hypersensitivity reactions to antibiotics are common with a prevalence of 6-10% of
all adverse reactions. There is a lack of guidelines and standardization of skin tests
for the screening of hypersensitivity to all antibiotics, in terms of the methodology,
dose and time of evaluation of the tests. Literature from Europe and America suggests
the use of non-irritating concentration (NIC) of antibiotics for skin testing such as
intra dermal test (IDT), skin prick test (SPT). These are concentrations at which the
drug is unlikely to produce irritation by virtue of its chemical nature resulting in
false positive reactions. These concentrations have been validated by trials in their
populations. Due to the increase of antibiotic resistance in our country, declaring a
patient allergic to a specific class of antibiotics based on positive skin tests can further
narrow the therapeutic armory. These individuals have an increased incidence of
infections with resistant organisms as well as increased cost of hospitalization. This is
due to the use of alternative broad spectrum antibiotics. Therefore, there is a need for
a standardized protocol for the use of skin tests in screening of hypersensitivity, with
validated NIC of all antibacterial agents. The aim of this article is to review literature
of protocols for assessment of drug hypersensitivity with NIC of antibacterial drugs
for SPT, IDT and also establish the need for research in this area in our country.

PERU: Madre de Dios Region, Tambopata Province; 3 October 2023, 0741 AM; G. Gallice. Host: Unidentified species of Dipluridae, adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized curtain web spider, dorsal side upward, by the base of its second right leg with her mandibles and dragged it backwards across the soil (Gallice 2023).
 Although unidentified, Dipluridae from Peru probably represents a new host genus and species for Pepsis completa. Pepsis completa from Brazil and Venezuela is rather polyphagous in host selection with previous host records for Dipluridae, Pycnothelidae, Nemesiidae, Theraphosidae, and Ctenidae (Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).

description: Background: Type IV PHA synthase is a key enzyme responsible for catalyzing the formation of non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable short-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (scl-PHA) under the growth-limiting conditions in the members of the genus Bacillus. Results: The comparative in vitro and in silico analysis of the phaC subunit of type IV PHA synthases among Bacillus cereus FA11, B. cereus FC11, and B. cereus FS1 was done in our study to determine its structural and functional properties. Conserved domain analysis demonstrated that phaC subunit belongs to the alpha/beta (α/β) hydrolase fold. The catalytic triad comprising of cysteine (Cys), histidine (His), and aspartate (Asp) was found to be present at the active site. A shorter inter-atomic distance was found between the carboxyl (–COO) group of Asp and amino (NH2) group of His. Furthermore, slightly long inter-atomic distances between sulfhydryl (SH) group of Cys and NH2 group of His may be pointing toward the broader substrate specificity of type IV PHA synthases. However, a shorter distance between the SH group of Cys and NH2 group of His in case of B. cereus FC11 leads to a higher enzymatic activity and maximum PHA yield (49.26%). Conclusion: The in silico study verifies that the close proximity between SH group of Cys and NH2 group of His in phaC subunit of type IV PHA synthases can be crucial for synthesis of scl-PHA. However, the catalytic activity of type IV PHA synthases declines as the distance between the sulfur (S) atom of the SH group of Cys and the nitrogen (N) atom of NH2 group of His increases.

description: Dieser Artikel untersucht die sozio-politischen und religiösen Dimensionen des Musizierens und Klangerzeugens über den Vergleich zweier kulturell unterschiedlicher, aber nah beieinander liegenden Zeitabschnitte an ein und demselben Ort: dem Tal von Mexiko. Zunächst werden die Praktiken der Azteken zur Ausübung musikalischer Dominanz und Kontrolle über die von ihnen eroberten Gesellschaften der späten post-klassischen Periode Mesoamerikas (1325 bis 1521 n. Chr.) untersucht. Darauf folgend werden die spanischen Strategien der musikalischen Dominanz und Kontrolle über die eroberten Azteken der frühen Kolonialzeit (1521 bis 1600) beleuchtet und dem aztekischen Modell gegenübergestellt. Der Artikel fragt nach den Unterschieden und strukturellen Ähnlichkeiten in der musikalischen Eroberung.

description: Zwischen dem 16. und 19. Jahrhundert beeinflusste der Staat das Musikleben in den mecklenburgischen Herzogtümern, indem er kulturelle Ereignisse durch Auferlegung von Ordnungen regelte und Privilegien in Bezug auf musikalische Aufwartungen gewährte. Es gibt Versuche, die übermäßigen Kosten öffentlicher Veranstaltungen zu reduzieren, unmoralische Verhaltensweisen einzudämmen, die Heiligkeit der Feiertage zu wahren und bestimmte traditionelle Ereignisse wie die Fastnacht und Heischegänge zu unterdrücken. Im 17. Jahrhundert verschwand die Autonomie der offenen Landschaft mit der Privilegierung ausgebildeter Stadtmusikanten in allen mecklenburgischen Ämtern. Diese Privilegien ermöglichten es einem Musiker, in einem bestimmten Verwaltungsbereich ein Monopol zu errichten. Das Eindringen von Stadtmusikanten in die ländliche Sphäre veränderte die traditionelle Musik.

description: Die östliche Zhou- (770–221 v. Chr.) und die Han-Dynastie (206 v. Chr.–220 n. Chr.) waren Perioden sozialer, kultureller und politischer Umwälzungen in China. In dieser Übergangszeit hat sich China von einem durch rivalisierende Staaten beherrschten zu einem unter einem einzigen Herrscher vereinten Land gewandelt. Archäologische Funde aus dem 7. und 6. Jh. v. Chr. legen nahe, dass sich die rivalisierenden Staaten größtenteils der musikalischen Tradition des Zhou-Staats angepasst haben. Die Fülle an Glocken und Klangsteinspielen, die bisher mit Zhou-staatlichen Zeremonien und Ahnenritualen verbunden werden, zeugen von diesem Einfluss. Jedoch implizieren materielle Belege aus dem 5. und 4. Jh. v. Chr. einen weitgreifenden Wandel auf der kulturellen und musikalischen Ebene, vor allem im zunehmend an Macht gewinnenden Chu-Staat. Trotz des politischen Niedergangs der Chu im 3. Jh. v. Chr. hielten sich die musikalischen und kulturellen Einflüsse bis in die Han-Dynastie.
Self-signalling in consumer choice: conceptual underpinnings and empirical evidence
Creators: name: Dixon, Darcie Julia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Scholars increasingly acknowledge the importance of self-image motives as a key factor in explaining consumer behaviour, leading to more attention on concepts such as self-signalling. Self-signalling is understood as consumers' act of signalling information about their internal qualities to their own self through choice and behaviour. The present dissertation moves beyond the current state of the literature in self-signalling by exploring its conceptual underpinnings, proposing a mechanism that underlies the phenomenon of self-signalling, and by establishing boundary conditions for self-signalling in consumer choice. More specifically, by conceptualizing an integrative self-signalling framework and deriving testable proposition through an integration with the more established signalling theory, this dissertation considers a broader net of yet overlooked concepts that are relevant to the self. Overall, across three papers, this dissertation presents an integrative approach that unpacks why, how, and when consumer value gained from a choice is influenced by a self-signal.

description: We present a 1:10,000 scale geological map for the south-eastern sector of the Volterra Basin (Northern Apennines, Italy), together with supporting stratigraphic-structural data. The Volterra Basin consists of a major structural depression within the Northern Apennines hinterland, NNW-SSE-oriented and filled with more than 2000 m of late Miocene-Quaternary deposits. Its south-eastern sector is classically considered as a type area for late Tortonian non-marine strata, here mapped and refined in terms of internal stratigraphy adopting a scheme of depositional and lithostratigraphic units. Stratigraphic assessments helped in redefining the character of the lower boundary of the non-marine succession, as well as in mapping a newly recognized angular unconformity. Deformation structures affecting the basin fill include blind normal faults rooted to a deep detachment, outcrop-scale transtensional faults and clusters of gentle folds. Faults and folds appear to be kinematically linked. Our structural observations largely agree with those present in the literature, supporting a model of post-orogenic crustal stretching.

description: Die Idee, dass die psychologische Wirkung der Musik auch für Fragen der Erziehung und Politik entscheidend ist, findet sich zuerst bei Platon, mit Verweis auf Damon von Athen (5. Jahrhundert v. Chr.). Auf Basis der Schrift des Aristeides Quintilianus, der ebenso auf Damon zurückverweist, wurde dem Letzteren eine eigenständige Theorie des musikalischen Ethos zugeschrieben. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Quellen von Platon über Aristoteles bis zu Aristides einer kritischen Betrachtung unterzogen. Dabei wird für eine Lesart von Platons Politeia plädiert, die Äußerungen der Dialogfiguren über musikalische Details nicht automatisch mit der Autorenmeinung gleichsetzt. In der Klassischen Zeit finden sich so keine Anhaltspunkte für eine Ethostheorie, die von technischen Überlegungen ausgeht.

description: This thesis examines the impact of the democratic promises of Internet communication technologies, social, and participatory media on the practice of public archaeology. It is focused on work within archaeological organisations in the UK working in commercial archaeology, higher education, local authority planning departments and community settings, as well the voluntary archaeology sector. This work has taken an innovative approach to the subject matter through its use of a Grounded Theory method for data collection and analysis, and the use of a combination of online surveys, case studies and email questionnaires in order to address the following issues: the provision of authoritative archaeological information online; barriers to participation; policy and organisational approaches to evaluating success and archiving; community formation and activism, and the impact of digital inequalities and literacies. This thesis is the first overarching study into the use of participatory media in archaeology. It is an important exploration of where and how the profession is creating and managing digital platforms, and the expanding opportunities for networking and sharing information within the discipline, against a backdrop of rapid advancement in the use of Internet technologies within society. This work has made significant contributions to debates on the practice and impact of public archaeology. It has shown that archaeologists do not yet fully understand the complexities of Internet use and issues of digital literacy, the impact of audience demographics or disposition towards participation in online projects. It has shown that whilst recognition of democratic participation is not, on the whole, undertaken through a process of actively acknowledging responses to archaeological information, there remains potential for participatory media to support and accommodate these ideals. This work documents a period of great change within the practice of archaeology in the UK, and concludes with the observation that it is vital that the discipline undertake research into online audiences for archaeological information if we are to create sustainable digital public archaeologies.

description: Little is known about the process of sex determination at the molecular level in species belonging to the subclass Acari, a taxon of arachnids that contains mites and ticks. The recent sequencing of the transcriptome and genome of the western orchard predatory mite Metaseiulus occidentalis allows investigation of molecular mechanisms underlying the biological processes of sex determination in this predator of phytophagous pest mites. We identified four doublesex-and-mab-3-related transcription factor (dmrt) genes, one transformer-2 gene, one intersex gene, and two fruitless-like genes in M. occidentalis. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to infer the molecular relationships to sequences from species of arthropods, including insects, crustaceans, acarines, and a centipede, using available genomic data. Comparative analyses revealed high sequence identity within functional domains and confirmed that the architecture for certain sex-determination genes is conserved in arthropods. This study provides a framework for identifying potential target genes that could be implicated in the process of sex determination in M. occidentalis and provides insight into the conservation and change of the molecular components of sex determination in arthropods.

Subjects: Electricity price forecasting

description: Electricity generation and load should always be balanced to maintain a tightly regulated system frequency in the power grid. Electricity generation and load both depend on many factors, such as the weather, temperature, and wind. These characteristics make the dynamics of electricity price very different from that of any other commodities or financial assets. The electricity price can exhibit hourly, daily, and seasonal fluctuations, as well as abrupt unanticipated spikes. Almost all electricity market participants use wind/load/price forecasting tools in their daily operations to optimize their operation plans, and bidding and hedging strategies, in order to maximize the profits and avoid price risks. However, the unreliable and inaccurate predictions with current forecasting tools have caused many serious problems, which can cause system instabilities and result in extreme prices even in the absence of scarcity. This dissertation presents an implementation of state of the art machine learning approaches into the forecasting tools to improve the reliability and accuracy of electricity price prediction. Most existing wholesale electricity markets consist of a Day-Ahead Market and a Real-Time Market that work together to ensure the adequacy of electricity generation capacity for the Real-Time operation to secure the reliability of the grid. The two markets have different purposes, with the Day-Ahead Market serving as preparation for and hedging against variation in the Real-Time Market. Also, the Day-Ahead Market uses hourly Day-Ahead forecasting information and the Real-Time Market uses most up-to-date Real-Time information when running calculations. So the forecasting strategies of Day-Ahead and Real-Time Markets should be different as well. The dissertation has two parts. The first part focuses on Day-Ahead price forecasting and the second part focuses on Real-Time price forecasting.

description: The purpose of this deliverable is to create an Infrastructure Classification Scheme, categorising different road types according to their automated capabilities and mapping these categories to specific and detailed automated functions. As an input, the results of the INFRAMIX deliverable D3.1 (Design and Development of infrastructure Elements) were used. This classification gives a guideline on what support the infrastructure can offer automated vehicles while entering and passing a certain road section. As road operation is highly dependent on the surrounding areas of the landscape, such support can always only be offered by the infrastructure on a voluntary basis. The deliverable covers mostly highways, but will also make the initial steps for the expansion of the classification to urban roads, as well. The ultimate purpose of this work is to provide a guide for incremental physical and digital improvements of the road infrastructure.

description: We present a 1:10,000 scale geological map for the south-eastern sector of the Volterra Basin (Northern Apennines, Italy), together with supporting stratigraphic-structural data. The Volterra Basin consists of a major structural depression within the Northern Apennines hinterland, NNW-SSE-oriented and filled with more than 2000 m of late Miocene-Quaternary deposits. Its south-eastern sector is classically considered as a type area for late Tortonian non-marine strata, here mapped and refined in terms of internal stratigraphy adopting a scheme of depositional and lithostratigraphic units. Stratigraphic assessments helped in redefining the character of the lower boundary of the non-marine succession, as well as in mapping a newly recognized angular unconformity. Deformation structures affecting the basin fill include blind normal faults rooted to a deep detachment, outcrop-scale transtensional faults and clusters of gentle folds. Faults and folds appear to be kinematically linked. Our structural observations largely agree with those present in the literature, supporting a model of post-orogenic crustal stretching.

Site classification for seismic hazard assessment in low seismicity regions
Creators: name: Tallett-Williams, Sarah
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of low seismicity regions has significant uncertainty due to the limited catalogue of earthquake records. Part of this uncertainty relates to the modification of ground motions by near-surface geo-materials: site amplification. If the repeatable site amplification from strong ground motion stations (SGMS) is characterised, this uncertainty is reduced. Consequently, the uncertainty demands upon safety critical infrastructure can decrease, enhancing its resilience. However, the characterisation of site amplification effects is complex. Effective parameters can be prohibitively expensive to measure, particularly if full shear-wave velocity (Vs) profiles are required for multiple sites. This thesis aims to investigate an economical method to characterise near-surface site amplification. For 15 of the UK SGMS, geological models are developed and compared to the newly established Global Vs Database. The database is used to examine relationship of Vs with geological parameters. Relationships investigated include age and origin, but were only predominant in depth and grain size. A new Site Specific Proxy probabilistically correlates these characteristics with the geological profiles, making it possible to infer a probability distribution of a time averaged shear wave velocity (Vs30) for each site. Horizontal to Vertical Spectral (HVSR) ratio testing is performed to verify these station models. This in situ method, though indeterminate, is economical and proved accurate when examined against verification testing. The HVSR testing results of the UK SGMS correlate well with the Site Specific proxy estimates, having a mean difference within 18%, which is a significant decrease from other proxy methods. A method of Bayesian updating is developed for refining the Vs30 profiles and shows that one in situ test is generally sufficient to halve the standard deviation of the Site Specific proxy method. Thus, the economical combination of the Site Specific proxy and HVSR testing is recommended for site characterisation in low seismicity regions.
