description: Head injuries are a major health concern for sport participants as 90% of emergency department visits for sport-related brain injuries are concussion related (Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2016). Recently, reports have shown a higher incidence of sport-related concussion in female athletes compared to males (Agel et al., 2007). Few studies have described the events by which concussions occur in women’s hockey (Delaney et al., 2014, Brainard et al., 2012; Wilcox et al., 2014), however a biomechanical analysis of the risk of concussion has not yet been conducted. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the riskiest concussive events in elite women’s hockey and characterize these events through reconstructions to identify the associated levels of peak linear and angular acceleration and strain from finite element analysis. 44 head impact events were gathered from elite women’s hockey game video and analyzed for impact event, location and velocity. In total, 27 distinct events based on impact event, location and velocity were reconstructed using a hybrid III headform and various testing setups to obtain dynamic response and brain tissue response. A three-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was conducted to determine the influence of event, location and velocity. The results of this study show that head-to-ice impacts resulted in significantly higher responses compared to shoulder-to-head collisions and head-to boards impacts however, shoulder and boards impacts were more frequent. All events produced responses comparable to proposed concussion threshold values (Zhang et al., 2004). This research demonstrates the importance of considering the event, the impact characteristics, the magnitude of response, and the frequency of these impacts when attempting to capture the short and long term risks of brain trauma in women’s hockey.

description: The proper definition of entropy is fundamental to the relationship between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. It also plays a major role in the recent debate about the validity of the concept of negative temperature. In this paper, I analyze and calculate the thermodynamic entropy for large, but finite quantum mechanical systems. A special feature of this analysis is that the thermodynamic energy of a quantum system is shown to be a continuous variable, rather than being associated with discrete energy eigenvalues. Calculations of the entropy as a function of energy can be carried out with a Legendre transform of thermodynamic potentials obtained from a canonical ensemble. The resultant expressions for the entropy are also able to describe equilibrium between quantum systems having incommensurate energy-level spacings. This definition of entropy preserves all required thermodynamic properties, including satisfaction of all postulates and laws of thermodynamics. It also demonstrates the consistency of the concept of negative temperature with the principles of thermodynamics.

Dis/enabling Children of Sub-Saharan African Immigrants: Challenging Structural and Institutional Barriers to Social Mobility at the Grassroots Level
Creators: name: Hujaleh, Filsan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2018

description: The literature on non-European immigrant offspring has established that some children of non-European immigrants are achieving social mobility by way of attaining a post-secondary education, and others are faring worse than their working-class immigrant parents. One such group that has had difficulty incorporating into mainstream institutions and society are racialized black immigrant offspring. Notwithstanding the importance and usefulness of highlighting differences between non-European immigrant offspring, a lack of focus on within group differences in the literature perpetuates stereotypes about racialized non-white groups. To assist in addressing this imbalance in the literature, this study aims to further enrich limited extant research that examines how racialized black immigrant offspring 'successfully adapt' to living in a racially stratified and unequal society. More precisely, this research strives to capture the diverse experiences of racialized black children of immigrants—a group labelled ‘at-risk' to underachieve and prone to experience downward socioeconomic mobility. Twenty-three children of Sub-Saharan African immigrants and ten African immigrant parents and key informants were interviewed for this qualitative narrative study. Participants’ narratives revealed that racialized black immigrant offspring, who were able to successfully navigate the compulsory school system, shared some similarities. A commonality that the participants shared was that they adopted or were receptive to or in tune with their parents’ culture, advice, guidance, high educational expectations, and optimistic worldviews as adolescents. However, participants differed with respect to their identity formations and educational journeys. Participants who were independent learners, studious and/or identified as intelligent (e.g. enrolled in an enrichment program) were able to progress through the education system with little support. Other participants, on the other hand, relied—to varying degrees—on their family’s assistance and community-based supports to overcome structural, institutional and spatial barriers. Without these supports, some of these participants would have had greater difficulty achieving their goals. Furthermore, the narratives suggest that racialized black youth from low socioeconomic backgrounds who rely heavily on family and community support to complete high school are vulnerable to experience difficulties (including dropping out) at the post-secondary level, especially when their support system diminishes. With respect to identity formation, participants formed a diverse ray of identities.

description: The ras proto-oncogene is frequently mutated in human tumors and functions to chronically stimulate signal transduction cascades resulting in the synthesis or activation of specific transcription factors, including Ets, c-Myc, c-Jun, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). These Ras-responsive transcription factors are required for transformation, but the mechanisms by which these proteins facilitate oncogenesis have not been fully established. Oncogenic Ras was shown to initiate a p53-independent apoptotic response that was suppressed through the activation of NF-kappaB. These results provide an explanation for the requirement of NF-kappaB for Ras-mediated oncogenesis and provide evidence that Ras-transformed cells are susceptible to apoptosis even if they do not express the p53 tumor-suppressor gene product.

description: The opening of the pseudogap in underdoped cuprates breaks up the Fermi surface, which may lead to a breakup of the d-wave order parameter into two subband amplitudes and a low energy Leggett mode due to phase fluctuations between them. This causes a large increase in the temperature range of superconducting fluctuations with an overdamped Leggett mode. Almost resonant scattering of inter-subband phonons to a state with a pair of Leggett modes causes anomalously strong damping. In the ordered state, the Leggett mode develops a finite energy, suppressing the anomalous phonon damping but leading to an anomaly in the phonon dispersion.

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, is increasing in prevalence as the population ages. Although it is often associated with heart disease, AF occurs in many patients with no detectable disease. Hemodynamic impairment and thromboembolic events result in significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Accordingly, the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) created a committee of experts to establish guidelines for management of this arrhythmia.

description: From the abstract of the Stage 2 Manuscript: The irrelevant sound effect (ISE) refers to the well-replicated finding that the presence of to-be-ignored sound disrupts short-term memory for serially-presented visual items. This phenomenon has proven useful in evaluating the structure, function, and development of short-term memory as well as characterising the interface between perceptual and mnemonic processing and providing recommendations for optimal working environments. Indeed, the ISE has achieved status as an important benchmark finding within cognitive psychology. This preregistered report focused on a methodological examination of the paradigm typically relied upon to study the ISE and sought to determine whether the ISE can be reliably studied using the increasingly popular method of online experiments. The results demonstrated that key signature effects of auditory distraction (the changing-state effect and the steady-state effect) can be successfully reproduced in online settings. There were no differences between Psychology students tested online and Psychology students tested in person. Participants from an online panel showed the same effects as Psychology students, but the effects were somewhat smaller in size. Our results confirmed the viability of online collection of data for auditory distraction research and provided important insights for the accumulation and maintenance of high data quality in internet-based experimentation.

Externally controlled selective spin transfer through a two-terminal bridge setup

description: A new way of getting controlled spin dependent transport through a two-terminal bridge setup is explored. The system comprises a magnetic quantum ring which is directly coupled to a magnetic quantum wire and subjected to an in-plane electric field perpendicular to the wire. Without directly changing system parameters, one can regulate spin currents simply by tuning the external electric field under a finite bias drop across the wire. For some particular field strengths a high degree of spin polarization can be achieved and thus the system can essentially be utilized as an externally controlled spin polarized device. A detailed comparison of spin current magnitudes obtained from other bridge setups is also examined to make the present investigation a self contained study.

X-ray time lags and nonlinear variability in the ultraluminous X-ray sources NGC 5408 X-1 and NGC 6946 X-1

description: We present our analysis of the X-ray variability of two ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) based on multiple XMM--Newton observations. We show the linear rms-flux relation is present in eight observations of NGC5408 X-1 and also in three observations of NGC6946 X-1, but data from other ULXs are generally not sufficient to constrain any rms-flux relation. The presence of this relation was previously reported in only two observations of NGC 5408X-1; our results show this is a persistent property of the variability of NGC5408 X-1 and extends to at least one other variable ULX. We speculate this is a ubiquitous property of ULX variability, as it is for X-ray variability in other luminous accreting sources. We also recover the time delay between hard and soft bands in NGC5408 X-1, with the soft band (<1 keV) delayed with respect to the hard band (>1 keV) by up to ~10 s (~0.2 rad) at frequencies above ~few mHz. For the first time, we extend the lag analysis to lower frequencies and find some evidence for a reversal of the lag, a hard lag of ~1 ks at frequencies of ~0.1 mHz. Our energy-resolved analysis shows the time delays are energy dependent. We argue that the lag is unlikely to be a result of reflection from an accretion disc (`reverberation') based on the lack of reflection features in the spectra, and the large size of the reflector inferred from the magnitude of the lag. We also argue that associating the soft lag with a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in these ULXs - and drawing an analogy between soft lags in ULXs and soft lags seen in some low-frequency QPOs of Galactic X-ray binaries - is premature.

description: The formation of giant planets has traditionally been divided into two pathways: core accretion and gravitational instability. However, in recent years, gravitational instability has become less favored, primarily due to the scarcity of observations of fragmented protoplanetary disks around young stars and low occurrence rate of massive planets on very wide orbits. In this study, we present a SPHERE/IRDIS polarized light observation of the young outbursting object V960 Mon. The image reveals a vast structure of intricately shaped scattered light with several spiral arms. This finding motivated a re-analysis of archival ALMA 1.3 mm data acquired just two years after the onset of the outburst of V960 Mon. In these data, we discover several clumps of continuum emission aligned along a spiral arm that coincides with the scattered light structure. We interpret the localized emission as fragments formed from a spiral arm under gravitational collapse. Estimating the mass of solids within these clumps to be of several Earth masses, we suggest this observation to be the first evidence of gravitational instability occurring on planetary scales. This study discusses the significance of this finding for planet formation and its potential connection with the outbursting state of V960 Mon.

description: In un periodo, come nell’anno appena trascorso, in cui non è più dominante la speranza utopica, ma il segno della paura e il timore del futuro, emergono visioni apocalittiche seco­lari. L’articolo propone una rilettura critica delle categorie di utopia e speranza, una differente uso euristico di utopia, nell’individuazione di sentieri nuovi (Buber), in cui ritrovare l’interrogativo kantiano: cosa posso sperare? La domanda utopica recupera anche la dimensione cosmologica, ma soprattutto quella antropologica e teologica. Con l’aiuto di alcuni testi di A. Heller si mette a fuoco l’urgente impegno politico-intellettuale di “smascheramento” del presente stesso. Appare, pertanto, importante tornare a  tematizzazione categorie utopiche quali quelle di verità come “attesa”, il «non ancora», il “malgrado” e il “sovrappiù”. Ultimo concetto da recuperare, necessario per noi persone smarrite del 2020, è quello della speranza come passione per il possibile.

In a period, as in the past year, in which utopian hope is no longer dominant, but the fear of the future, secular apocalyptic visions emerge. The essay proposes a critical reinterpretation of the categories of utopia and hope, a different heuristic use of utopia, searching for new paths (Buber), in which to find the Kantian question: what can I hope for? The utopian question also recovers the cosmological dimension, but above all the anthropological and theological one. With the help of some of A. Heller’s texts, the essay focuses on the urgent political-intellectual commitment to “unmask” the present. It seems, therefore, important to return to focus on utopian categories such as truth as “expected”, the “not yet”, the “despite” and the “over”. The last concept to recover is hope as passion for the possible; it is necessary for us 2020’s lost people.

description: Discrete potentials can describe properly the liquid vapor boundary that is necessary to model the adsorption of gas molecules in mesoporous systems with computer simulations. Although there are some works in this subject, the simulations are still highly time - consuming. Here we show that an efficient alternative is to use the three - dimensional Ising model, which allows one to model large systems, with geometries as complex as required that accurately represent the liquid vapor boundary. In particular, we report molecular simulations of cylindrical pores of two different geometry, using a discrete potential. The effect of the length of the pore in the hysteresis loop for a finite pore and infinite one is studied in detail. Lastly, we compare our predictions with experimental results and find excellent agreement between the area of the hysteresis loop predicted for the finite pore and that found in adsorption/desorption experiments.

In this method, the 2D sample structure information encoded in a coherent high-angle Bragg peak measured at a fixed angle is combined with the real-space scanning probe positions to reconstruct the 3D sample structure. This work introduces an entirely new means of three dimensional structural imaging of nanoscale materials and eliminates the experimental complexities associated with rotating nanoscale samples. We present the framework for the method and demonstrate our approach with a numerical demonstration, an analytical derivation, and an experimental reconstruction of lattice distortions in a component of a nanoelectronic prototype device.

description: We have performed mid-infrared imaging of Barnard's Star, one of the nearest stars to the Sun, using CanariCam on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias. We aim to investigate an area within 1-10 arcsec separations, which for the 1.83 pc distance of the star translates to projected orbital separations of 1.8-18 AU (P > 12 yr), which have not been explored yet with astrometry or radial velocity programs. It is therefore an opportunity to enter the domain of distances where most giant planets are expected to form. We performed deep imaging in the N-band window (Si-2 filter, 8.7 μm) reaching a 3σ detection limit of 0.85+/-0.18 mJy and angular resolution of 0.24 arcsec, close to the diffraction limit of the telescope at this wavelength. A total of 80 min on-source integration time data were collected and combined for the deepest image. We achieved a dynamical range of 8.0+/-0.1 mag in the 8.7 μm band, at angular separations from ~2 to 10 arcsec and of ~6-8 mag at 1-2 arcsec. No additional sources were found. Our detectability limits provide further constraints to the presence of substellar companions of the Barnard's Star. According to solar metallicity evolutionary models, we can exclude companions of masses larger than 15 MJup (Teff > 400 K), ages of a few Gyr, and located in ~3.6-18 AU orbits with a 3σ confidence level. This minimum mass is approximately 5 MJup smaller than any previous imaging survey that explored the surroundings of Barnard's Star could restrict.

In the present study, we hypothesized that discrete levels of Sox9 expression would also mark colonic epithelial stem cells (CESCs). Using the Sox9EGFP mouse model, we show that lower levels of Sox9 mark cells in the transit-amplifying progenitor cell zone, while higher levels of Sox9 mark cells in the colonic crypt base. Furthermore, we demonstrate that variable SOX9 levels persist in cells of colonic adenomas from mice and humans. Cells expressing lower Sox9 levels demonstrate gene expression profiles consistent with more differentiated populations, and cells expressing higher Sox9 levels are consistent with less differentiated populations. When placed in culture, cells expressing the highest levels of Sox9 formed “colonoids,” which are defined as bodies of cultured colonic epithelial cells that possess multiple cryptlike structures and a pseudolumen. Cells expressing the highest levels of Sox9 also demonstrate multipotency and self-renewal in vitro, indicating functional stemness. These data suggest a dose-dependent role for Sox9 in normal CESCs and cells comprising colon tumors. Furthermore, distinct Sox9 levels represent a new biomarker to study CESC and progenitor biology in physiological and disease states.

description: The Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) is a cornerstone of general relativity and predicts the existence of gravitational redshift. We report on new results of measuring this shift with RadioAstron (RA), a space VLBI spacecraft launched into an evolving high eccentricity orbit around Earth with geocentric distances reaching 353,000 km. The spacecraft and ground tracking stations at Pushchino, Russia, and Green Bank, USA, were each equipped with a hydrogen maser frequency standard allowing a possible violation of the predicted gravitational redshift, in the form of a violation parameter $\varepsilon$, to be measured. By alternating between RadioAstron's frequency referencing modes during dedicated sessions between 2015 and 2017, the recorded downlink frequencies can essentially be corrected for the non-relativistic Doppler shift. We report on an analysis using the Doppler-tracking frequency measurements made during these sessions and find $\varepsilon = (2.1 \pm 3.3)\times10^{-4}$. We also discuss prospects for measuring $\varepsilon$ with a significantly smaller uncertainty using instead the time-domain recordings of the spacecraft signals and envision how $10^{-7}$ might be possible for a future space VLBI mission.

description: This work highlights how, within the context of contingent valuation, supporting the assessment of monetary measures of mitigation of environmental damages, has not been sufficiently clarified the role played by the perception of environmental risk, particularly in an ex ante context, where the effect of psychological anchoring to the status quo and the amount / type of available information have an important role driving the individual preferences. The contribution to experimental economics – of which the contingent valuation takes share – of the theory of choice under uncertainty and of behavioural economics is briefly traced and, in order to provide empirical evidence, the results of a choice experiment implemented in Turin, in order to assess the effect of the disamenity due to the location of solid waste infrastructure, are showing.

description: The end of the Cold War initiated a wave of democratisation that had an impact on the agendas of the international and regional donor agencies. Democracy was from then on considered as the only best form of political organisation, a logical end to all nations, which in practice meant that undemocratic countries were expected to launch democratic reforms in order to get international assistance and donors themselves started to provide democracy assistance. Despite the optimism of the 1990s it soon became clear that some isolated reforms do not create real democracy and number of failures and only formally democratic countries increased. In order to achieve substantial changes it is important to revise the policies that international donors have pursued and search for the new ways for the establishing of sustainable democracy. One of the new trends that is starting to take shape in the democracy assistance is the accommodation of democratic principles to the needs and concrete realities of a particular country. The focus is shifting from the implementation to the building of democracy. The Democratic Republic of Congo that has almost no democratic experience in the past has recently come out of a series of conflicts and initiated a process of democratisation. Country is assisted by numerous international donors, but how is the assistance provided? This thesis investigates further the initiatives that have been launched in order to see if they can positively contribute to a serious turn in country’s history.

description: UNCHAIN deliverable D3.4 is a collection of twelve reports describing the lessons learned in the twelve UNCHAIN case studies. This report presents the findings of Case Study 3, titled “Economic effects of adapting critical infrastructure in the Mannheim metropolitan area.” It describes how the Impact Chain based Climate Risk and Vulnerability assessment was applied in the case study, characterizes the results, and details the achieved innovations of the Impact Chain based method. Case Study 3 shows how to combine different levels of scale, by starting with relevant parts of existing German national Impact Chains, building regional Impact Chains based on these parts, and pinpointing risk factors from the regional Impact Chains to corporate units, processes, and activities (the corporate Value Chain). Regarding economic effects, the study assessed the impact of more frequent periods of low water of the Rhine River on costs of inland waterway transport of large volume goods for energy production.

description: Self adaptation has been proposed to overcome the complexity of today's software systems which results from the uncertainty issue. Aspects of uncertainty include changing systems goals, changing resource availability and dynamic operating conditions. Feedback control loops have been recognized as vital elements for engineering self-adaptive systems. However, despite their importance, there is still a lack of systematic way of the design of the interactions between the different components comprising one particular feedback control loop as well as the interactions between components from different control loops . Most existing approaches are either domain specific or too abstract to be useful. In addition, the issue of multiple control loops is often neglected and consequently self adaptive systems are often designed around a single loop. In this paper we propose a set of design patterns for modeling and designing self adaptive software systems based on MAPE-K Control loop of IBM architecture blueprint which takes into account the multiple control loops issue. A case study is presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed design patterns.

Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2010

description: The study uses information from different sources and on different scales in an integrated set of models in order to analyze possible land use change scenarios arising in response to CAP reform. Five main steps were followed: (1) analysis of past land use changes, (2) multivariate analysis of future land use changes using a neural network time series forecast model (Multi-Layer Perceptron Method), (3) modelization of land use change demand (Markovian Chains Method), (4) allocation of the demand to define transition localization, (5) definition of policy scenarios. The final stage is the comparison of CAP scenarios using a multicriteria decision making approach, in order to supply valuable information to policy makers regarding the possible local effects of key direction changes in CAP.

description: This paper reports on an empirical test aimed at verifying rationality of stated preferences in choice experiments. The test has been conducted by overlapping two applications of choice experiments. The former has been set up according standard practice. The latter has been set up and implemented by including choice tasks with decoy alternatives. The design of the test allowed to identify in the sample a signifcant proportion of respondents with anomalies in their stated preferences, to classify these anomalies, to search for their possible causes, and to assess their effects on willingness to pay estimates.

description: The broadband spectral energy distribution of a galaxy encodes valuable information on its stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), dust content, and possible fractional energy contribution from nonstellar sources. We present a comprehensive catalog of panchromatic photometry, covering 17 bands from the far-ultraviolet to 500 $μ$m, for 2685 low-redshift (z=0.01-0.11), massive ($M_* > 10^{10}\,M_\odot$) galaxies selected from the Stripe 82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, one of the largest areas with relatively deep, uniform observations over a wide range of wavelengths. Taking advantage of the deep optical coadded images, we develop a hybrid approach for matched-aperture photometry of the multi-band data. We derive robust uncertainties and upper limits for undetected galaxies, deblend interacting/merging galaxies and sources in crowded regions, and treat contamination by foreground stars. We perform spectral energy distribution fitting to derive the stellar mass, SFR, and dust mass, critically assessing the influence of flux upper limits for undetected photometric bands and applying corrections for systematic uncertainties based on extensive mock tests. Comparison of our measurements with those of commonly used published catalogs reveals good agreement for the stellar masses. While the SFRs of galaxies on the star-forming main sequence show reasonable consistency, galaxies in and below the green valley show considerable disagreement between different sets of measurements. Our analysis suggests that one should incorporate the most accurate and inclusive photometry into the spectral energy distribution analysis, and that care should be exercised in interpreting the SFRs of galaxies with moderate to weak star formation activity.
