description: We present a Monte Carlo approach to soft-gluon resummation at subleading color which can be used to improve existing parton shower algorithms. At the single-emission level, soft-collinear enhancements of the splitting functions are explicitly linked to quadratic Casimir operators, while wide angle single-soft enhancements are connected to nontrivial color correlators. We focus on a numerically stable implementation of color matrix element corrections to all orders and approximate the virtual corrections by requiring unitarity at the single-emission level. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation to compute nonglobal event shapes at lepton colliders.

description: Multiple studies have described extracellular microRNAs (ex-miRNAs) as being remarkably stable despite the hostile extracellular environment, when stored at 4ºC or lower. Here we show that many ex-miRNAs are rapidly degraded when incubated at 37ºC in the presence of serum (thereby simulating physiologically relevant conditions). Stability varied widely between miRNAs, with half-lives ranging from ~1.5 hours to more than 13 hours. Notably, ex-miRNA half-lives calculated in two different biofluids (murine serum and C2C12 mouse myotube conditioned medium) were highly similar, suggesting that intrinsic sequence properties are a determining factor in miRNA stability. By contrast, ex-miRNAs associated with extracellular vesicles (isolated by size exclusion chromatography) were highly stable. The release of ex-miRNAs from C2C12 myotubes was measured over time, and mathematical modelling revealed miRNA-specific release kinetics. While some ex-miRNAs reached the steady state in cell culture medium within 24 hours, the extracellular level of miR-16 did not reach equilibrium, even after 3 days in culture. These findings are indicative of miRNA-specific release and degradation kinetics with implications for the utility of ex-miRNAs as biomarkers, and for the potential of ex-miRNAs to transfer gene regulatory information between cells.

description: Results of the Hungarian and the Serbian handball teams are similar on the international level (IHF rankings: Serbia 4. Hungary 5. IHF-10.03.2012.), however the general supposition is that the Serbian handball players are more successful and more acknowledged. This is confirmed by numerous Serbian internationals that play at high level in Hungary and other European countries and the results of the youth national teams. In this article we were searching for the influential factors behind the success of the Serbian team. While there are no considerable differences in physical performance and anthropometric parameters so we assume the main differences are in their relation and stance to coach and to training. In our study we support an explanation for the reasons of the differences in the results between two nations youth handball players with an analysis of the attitude to the head coach and players relation to work and physical training. Our sample was chosen from one Serbian (Crvenka) and one Hungarian (Komló) youth team. The measurement was completed with a standard survey according to Hagger et al. (2007) Passes questionnaire. The results show that the Serbian youth players have better relations with their head coach and have better stance for work and training, which might be an explanation for their better success.

description: Electrolyte stability against oxidation is one of the important factors limiting the development of high energy density batteries. HOMO level of solvent molecules has been successfully used for understanding trends in their oxidative stability but assumes a non-interacting environment. However, solvent HOMO levels are renormalized due to molecules in their solvation shells. In this work, we first demonstrate an inexpensive and accurate method to determine the HOMO level of solvent followed by simple descriptors for renormalization of HOMO level due to different electrolyte components. The descriptors are based on Gutmann Donor and Acceptor numbers of solvent and other components. The method uses fast GGA-level DFT calculations compared to previously used expensive, experimental data dependent methods. This method can be used to screen for unexplored stable solvents among the large number of known organic compounds to design novel high voltage stable electrolytes.

Oral Sex and HSV-1 Knowledge Among College Freshmen Females
Creators: name: Hendry, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) disease transmission to the genitals has life long health consequences for young women.  The aim of this DNP project was to assess knowledge among female college freshmen regarding HSV-1 transmission to the genitals during oral sex.
A voluntary and anonymous online survey was e-mailed to 648 female college freshmen using their college e-mail account.  A 19% (N=121) survey response rate was achieved.  Seventy-three percent of the college females reported receiving oral sex.  Ninety-five percent of the college females knew the possible risk of HSV-1 transmission during oral sex.  Ninety-six percent of the female students did not use a barrier device when they received oral sex.  None of the females identified themselves as being at high risk for contracting HSV-1 and more than 60% were not concerned about contracting genital HSV-1. 
Survey findings were presented to college health services staff through informal discussion and a brief movie.  Oral sex and HSV-1 teaching information was also provided to the staff to encourage dialogue between students and providers.  Dental dam barriers were left with staff to promote safer oral sex practices among the students.   The results of the survey did not demonstrate a knowledge deficit of HSV-1 disease or possible HSV-1 transmission to the genitals during oral sex.  However, the survey did reveal gaps in knowledge regarding the students’ own susceptibility to HSV-1 through unprotected oral sex, skin-to-skin transmission risk of HSV-1, and barrier device availability for oral sex.

Orbital dynamics of three-dimensional bars: IV. Boxy isophotes in face-on views

description: We study the conditions that favour boxiness of isodensities in the face-on views of orbital 3D models for barred galaxies. Using orbital weighted profiles we show that boxiness is in general a composite effect that appears when one considers stable orbits belonging to several families of periodic orbits. 3D orbits that are introduced due to vertical instabilities, play a crucial role in the face-on profiles and enhance their rectangularity. This happens because at the 4:1 radial resonance region we have several orbits with boxy face-on projections, instead of few rectangular-like x1 orbits, which, in a fair fraction of the models studied so far, are unstable at this region. Massive bars are characterized by rectangular-like orbits. However, we find that it is the pattern speed that affects most the elongation of the boxy feature, in the sense that fast bars are more elongated than slow ones. Boxiness in intermediate distances between the center of the model and the end of the bar can be attributed to x1v1 orbits, or to a combination of families related to the radial 3:1 resonance.

description: There are numerous publications in the literature reporting physical development and motor performances of children of different ages based on sex and various environmental factors. However, there are not many publications on the birth season effect. The aim of the study was to evaluate the differences among children in physical development and motor performances based on age and birth season. Physical development described by body height and body weight, in addition to motor performance indicators including the twenty-metre dash, standing broad jump, six minutes of continuous running, throwing with a stuffed ball, and obstacle race-tests were studied. The survey included the participation of 426 girls. From the group the seven-, eight-, and nine-year olds numbered 148, 191, and 87 respectively. The group of girls who were born in winter, spring, summer and autumn numbered 114, 110, 89 and119 respectively. The tested data were evaluated with unitrate analyses of variance using SPSS statistical package. Mean value, standard error, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were calculated. The significance of differences between mean values was evaluated using “t” test. Differences with an error below 5% were considered to be significant. Furthermore, a correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between season of birth, body development and motor-related performance data. Age, body height, body weight, throwing a stuffed ball in one hand, twenty-metre dash, six minutes of continuous running, and obstacle race-test are interdependent variables of development and motor performances of young girls of this age. Data from the study results show that the children group included in the tests was quite homogenous in body height, but heterogeneous in body weight and motor performances. Physical development and four of the five evaluated sport skills were affected by the birth season. Development and motor performances of the summer- and autumn-born girls are generally better than those born in winter or spring. Differences are significant except for the obstacle race-test. Age, body height, body weight, throwing with a stuffed ball in one hand, twentymetre dash, six minutes of continuous running, and the obstacle race-test seem to be interdependent variables of development and motor performances of young girls of this age.

Creators: name: Morris, Terri
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: The complex psychological and social needs of patients with substance use disorders present challenges for healthcare providers. A multidisciplinary approach that includes medications, psychosocial treatment, and education to assist the patient with disease management is common. This approach improves outcomes and promotes recovery. Evidence clearly suggests that tailored treatment programs incorporating medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in conjunction with behavioral modification and psychotherapy yield positive treatment outcomes (NIDA, 2016). Purpose: The purpose of this project was to determine whether an educational program coupled with existing treatment modalities was comprehensive and innovative in MAT approaches. The educational program focused on risks of drug abuse, triggers, stress, cravings, and wellness topics, as well as incorporating the use of mindfulness exercises. Methods A post intervention questionnaire and verbal feedback from the participants was used to assess effectiveness of the educational program. Results The data showed that the educational program was well received and acceptable for use in the MAT setting. Conclusion Education in chronic disease management and the use of mindfulness techniques were both shown to be feasible and acceptable, which may prove beneficial in reducing the likelihood of relapse in patients with substance use disorder.

From the data I calculated mean, SD and spectrum and examined the crosstab correlations as well, and the Cramer’s V associate coefficient. The results of the correlation tests could be summarised as the following: Guests regardless financial state and age give grade 4 to price/value ratio, but despite their positive judgement spending is not characteristic (most guests spend nothing additional besides admission fee, if so, they do not exceed the 5000 forint amount) even among those who belong to the ’upmarket’ category. Both younger and elderly guests can be characterised with the economical approach, i.e. “Make both ends meet” although seemingly they could extend these “ends”.

description: Superconductivity in the Hubbard model on a square lattice near half filling is studied using an optimization (or correlated) variational Monte Carlo method. Second-order processes of the strong-coupling expansion are considered in the wave functions beyond the Gutzwiller factor. Superconductivity of d_x^2-y^2-wave is widely stable, and exhibits a crossover around U=U_co\sim 12t from a BCS type to a new type. For U\gsim U_co (U\lsim U_co), the energy gain in the superconducting state is derived from the kinetic (potential) energy. Condensation energy is large and \propto exp(-t/J) [tiny] on the strong [weak] coupling side of U_co. Cuprates belong to the strong-coupling regime.

title: Spatiotemporal Variations of Precipitation and Climate-Resilient Structure Design in Virginia
Creators: name: Yang, Xiaomin
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: How to consider effects of climate change on the design and management of hydrology related infrastructure is crucial but remains a challenge for sustaining resilient society. To address this challenge, existing hydrologic design procedures may need to be revised and/or redeveloped to take into account the precipitation non-stationarity resulting from climate change. Using the state of Virginia as a testbed and advanced statistical techniques such as nonparametric test, spatial autocorrelation, linear regression, distribution fitting, and spatial interpolation, this dissertation developed an innovative framework to detect the historical spatiotemporal variations of various precipitation characteristics, namely maximum precipitation intensity, precipitation amount, simple precipitation intensities, dry and wet spells, precipitation maximums, and precipitation exceedances. The results indicated that the state of Virginia has been experiencing more storms with a larger magnitude, a longer duration, and a greater intensity, making it vital to revisit the existing water management policies and engineering design standards. In this regard, next-generation probability-based IDF curves that consider the precipitation non-stationarity were created using both historical and predicted precipitations for Virginia. Such IDF curves can be a handy and useful tool for practical engineers to size hydraulic structures under nonstationary climates.

description: Long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems play a critical role in the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid. Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems, particularly Limestone ones, offer promising solutions due Limestone’s high energy storage density and cost-effectiveness. However, the cycling performance of Limestone is hindered by sintering phenomena and pore plugging. This paper explores the enhancement of Limestone’s TCES performance by incorporating Mayenite, a mesoporous ternary oxide, as an additive. Mayenite can improve the cycling performance of Limestone by enhancing: (1) the Ca2+ ion migration at high temperatures promoting the carbonation reaction and (2) the CO2 diffusion as shown by the carbonation reaction rate analysis of the mixture samples. In detail, three different Mayenite samples with unique Ca to Al ratios were synthesized and added to Limestone in varying concentrations. The mixture sample containing 5 % Mayenite (with a lower Ca to Al ratio) enhanced 2.5 times Limestone’s energy storage performance after 40 cycles, boosting it from 455 kJ/kg to 1137 kJ/kg. Characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis provide insights into the structural and kinetic changes induced by Mayenite addition. On the other hand, Density Functional Theory Calculations showed that migration of Ca2+ ions is promoted at high temperatures, improving the carbonation reaction of Limestone. The results demonstrate the potential of Mayenite as an effective additive for improving the performance of Lime stone TCES systems, paving the way for more efficient and reliable long-duration energy storage solutions.

description: The mass-loss rates of red supergiant stars (RSGs) are poorly constrained by direct measurements, and yet the subsequent evolution of these stars depends critically on how much mass is lost during the RSG phase. In 2012 the Geneva evolutionary group updated their mass-loss prescription for RSGs with the result that a 20 solar mass star now loses 10x more mass during the RSG phase than in the older models. Thus, higher mass RSGs evolve back through a second yellow supergiant phase rather than exploding as Type II-P supernovae, in accord with recent observations (the so-called "RSG Problem"). Still, even much larger mass-loss rates during the RSG phase cannot be ruled out by direct measurements of their current dust-production rates, as such mass-loss is episodic. Here we test the models by deriving a luminosity function for RSGs in the nearby spiral galaxy M31 which is sensitive to the total mass loss during the RSG phase. We carefully separate RSGs from asymptotic giant branch stars in the color-magnitude diagram following the recent method exploited by Yang and collaborators in their Small Magellanic Cloud studies. Comparing our resulting luminosity function to that predicted by the evolutionary models shows that the new prescription for RSG mass-loss does an excellent job of matching the observations, and we can readily rule out significantly larger values.

description: This paper seeks to analyse sport sponsorship in Finland via using the case study of Football Club JJK Jyväskylä from the Finnish Premier League. The results of a master’s thesis conducted on FC JJK fans’ sponsor awareness and sponsor orientation is presented. This research has provided implications to the management of the club, such as how to increase sponsorship efficiency, how to benefit from applying sponsorship alignment as well as relationship marketing. In order to successfully implement the study, an on-line survey, interviews, and participant observation was utilised. In addition, statistical data were obtained from the club. It has been concluded that JJK fans’ sponsor awareness and attitude stood at a low level, therefore JJK’s sponsorship strategy was advised to be reorganised. Conclusions from this paper might be beneficial for clubs from peripheral football countries, including those from Hungary as well. The size and level of Finnish and Hungarian football clubs are fairly similar and both countries can be considered as peripheral football countries at present.

description: The ratio of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy can be used to characterize how close a given fluid is to being perfect. Using string theory methods, we show that this ratio is equal to a universal value of $\hbar/4πk_B$ for a large class of strongly interacting quantum field theories whose dual description involves black holes in anti--de Sitter space. We provide evidence that this value may serve as a lower bound for a wide class of systems, thus suggesting that black hole horizons are dual to the most ideal fluids.

ARCADE uses narrow-band cryogenic radiometers to compare the sky to an external full-aperture calibrator. To minimize potential sources of systematic error, ARCADE uses a novel open-aperture design which maintains the antennas and calibrator at temperatures near 3 K at the mouth of an open bucket Dewar, without windows or other warm objects between the antennas and the sky. We discuss the design and performance of the ARCADE instrument from its 2001 and 2003 flights.

description: The global economic crisis of 2008 had effects on the world at all levels of life. It caused serious problems and difficulties in professional sports as well. In my paper I will try to show what kind of effects the global economic crisis had on one of the best organised championships of the world. What effects it had on attendance? How this influenced the prices of the tickets to the matches?I am going to show those marketing and financial steps, which were made by the championship’s leader corp and the teams participating in it. I think the teams could moderate their losses by making different special offers, drafting new players and being opened for the foreign countries, I think this will lead to an increase in attendance in the next few years. Finally, I will try to make a future forecast of attendance.

description: We define the notion of "projective" multiresolution analyses, for which, by definition, the initial space corresponds to a finitely generated projective module over the algebra $C(\btn)$ of continuous complex-valued functions on an $n$-torus. The case of ordinary multi-wavelets is that in which the projective module is actually free. We discuss the properties of projective multiresolution analyses, including the frames which they provide for $L^2(\brn)$. Then we show how to construct examples for the case of any diagonal $2 \times 2$ dilation matrix with integer entries, with initial module specified to be any fixed finitely generated projective $C(\mathbb T^2)$-module. We compute the isomorphism classes of the corresponding wavelet modules.

description: We illustrate a method for estimating the vertical position of the Sun above the Galactic plane by $γ$-ray observations. Photons of $γ$-ray wavelengths are particularly well suited for geometrical and kinematic studies of the Milky Way because they are not subject to extinction by interstellar gas or dust. Here, we use the radioactive decay line of $\mathrm{^{26}Al}$ at $1.809\,\mathrm{MeV}$ to perform maximum likelihood fits to data from the spectrometer SPI on board the INTEGRAL satellite as a proof-of-concept study. Our simple analytic 3D emissivity models are line-of-sight integrated, and varied as a function of the Sun's vertical position, given a known distance to the Galactic centre. We find a vertical position of the Sun of $z_0 = 15 \pm 17\,\mathrm{pc}$ above the Galactic plane, consistent with previous studies, finding $z_0$ in a range between $5$ and $29\,\mathrm{pc}$. Even though the sensitivity of current MeV instruments is several orders of magnitude below that of telescopes for other wavelengths, this result reveals once more the disregarded capability of soft $γ$-ray telescopes. We further investigate possible biases in estimating the vertical extent of $γ$-ray emission if the Sun's position is set incorrectly, and find that the larger the true extent, the less is it affected by the observer position. In the case of $\mathrm{^{26}Al}$ with an exponential scale height of $150,\mathrm{pc}$ ($700\,\mathrm{pc}$) in the inner (full) Galaxy, this may lead to misestimates of up to $25\,\%$.

description: Biofilm is a community of microorganisms attached to the substrate and plays a significant role in microbial pathogenesis and medical device-related infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a highly infectious gram-negative opportunistic biofilm-forming bacterium with high antibiotic resistance. Several reports underscore the antimicrobial activity of natural and synthetic food coloring agents, including carmoisine, turmeric dye, red amaranth dye, and phloxine B. However, their ability to suppress the PA biofilm is not clearly understood. Carmoisine is a red-colored synthetic azo dye containing naphthalene subunits and sulfonic groups and is widely used as a food coloring agent. This study investigated the antibiofilm potential and possible mechanism of biofilm inhibition by carmoisine against PA. Computational studies through molecular docking revealed that carmoisine strongly binds to QS regulator LasR (-12.7) and relatively less strongly but significantly with WspR (-6.9). Further analysis of the docked LasR-carmoisine complex using 100 ns MD simulation (Desmond, Schrödinger) validated the bonding strength and stability. Crystal violet assay, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride salt assay, and confocal microscopic studies were adopted for biofilm quantification, and the results indicated the dose-dependent antibiofilm activity of carmoisine against PA. We hypothesise that the carmoisine-mediated reduction of biofilm in PA is due to its interaction with LasR and interference with the QS system. The computational and biochemical analysis of another compound, 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonic acid, reiterated the role of the naphthalene ring in biofilm inhibition. Hence, this work will pave the way for the future discovery of antibiofilm drugs based on naphthalene ring-based lead compounds. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Originally considered futile degradation products, tRNA-derived RNA fragments (tdRs) have been shown over the recent past to be crucial players in orchestrating various cellular functions. Unlike other small non-coding RNA (ncRNA) classes, tdRs possess a multifaceted functional repertoire ranging from regulating transcription, apoptosis, RNA interference, ribosome biogenesis to controlling translation efficiency. A subset of the latter tdRs has been shown to directly target the ribosome, the central molecular machine of protein biosynthesis. Here we describe the function of the mammalian tRNAPro 5ʹ half, a 35 residue long ncRNA associated with ribosomes and polysomes in several mammalian cell lines. Addition of tRNAPro halves to mammalian in vitro translation systems results in global translation inhibition and concomitantly causes the upregulation of a specific low molecular weight translational product. This tRNAPro 5ʹ half-dependent translation product consists of both RNA and amino acids. Transfection of the tRNAPro half into HeLa cells leads to the formation of the same product in vivo. The migration of this product in acidic gels, the insensitivity to copper sulphate treatment, the resistance to 3ʹ polyadenylation, and the association with 80S monosomes indicate that the accumulated product is peptidyl-tRNA. Our data thus suggest that binding of the tRNAPro 5ʹ half to the ribosome leads to ribosome stalling and to the formation of peptidyl-tRNA. Our findings revealed a so far unknown functional role of a tdR thus further enlarging the functional heterogeneity of this emerging class of ribo-regulators.

description: The time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM) gives a correlated ground state as a stationary solution of the time-dependent equations for one-body and two-body density matrices. The small amplitude limit of TDDM (STDDM) is a version of extended RPA theories which include the effects of ground state correlations. It is shown that the solutions of the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov theory and the quasi-particle RPA satisfy the TDDM and STDDM equations, respectively, when only pairing-type correlations are taken into account in TDDM and STDDM.

Intervention for Increasing Advance Directive Documentation in the Primary Care Setting by Placing a Flag in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Creators: name: Wilson, Linda
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Abstract
Regardless of the Patient Self-Determination Act in 1992, only 15% of Americans have an
advance directive (AD). This will be an even more significant factor by 2030 when the expected elderly population will be 72.1 million people. Purpose: If an individual does not have an AD, they may be subjected to futile, costly and unnecessary suffering at end-of-life. Loved ones may also suffer the emotional burden of not knowing what type of care is wanted if the person is unable to communicate. Primary care providers are first line in caring for patients and are in an ideal position to ensure that their patients have an AD completed. This should not be confined to the elderly, but anyone over the age of 18 as an unexpected illness or tragic event may occur. The literature is consistent concerning the emphasis on this important document but points out that it is not being done due to many constraints such as lack of education on ADs, discomfort with subject, time restraints and difficulty with accessing ADs in electronic medical records (EMR). Method: This quality improvement project seeks to have the AD flagged in the EMR to prompt the provider to have the conversation and easily document the results. One hundred and ten providers and thirty allied staff were involved in the project. Education concentrating on knowledge, comfort and legal aspects of ADs was provided to all staff. A community forum was offered to the public to provide information regarding ADs and its importance. At the start of the project, patients were asked to complete a card with a simple yes or no if their provider discussed completing ADs during their visit. Outcome: This project provided evidence of an increase in documentation due to the “flag “reminder. Education for the community and providers reinforced the importance of ADs. Conclusion: This project will easily be sustainable since the providers were educated on the benefit to their patients, their families and the facility. The flag will have prompted the conversation and documentation with the additional benefit of fulfilling Medicare and Meaningful use requirements.
