A 2.4 GHZ FULLY INTEGRATED LC VCO DESIGN USING 130 NM CMOS TECHNOLOGY
Creators: name: IJME
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: In this paper, a 2.4 GHz fully integrated LC voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for RF wireless applications is presented. The VCO circuit is designed using TSMC 130 nm CMOS process. The circuit design is based on differential oscillator structure with cross-coupled NMOS transistors which achieves low power dissipation and low phase noise. Simulation and layout of the VCO is carried out using ADS Tool. The VCO operates from a supply voltage of 1.8 V and consumes 19.62 mW of power. After simulating the proposed design the VCO shows a phase noise of -128.68 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from a 2.4 GHz carrier signal. The frequency range of the VCO is from 2.36 GHz to 2.61 GHz when the control voltage changes from 0 to 2 V. The FOM is obtained as -183.73 dBc/Hz. The total chip area, including pads, occupies 0.7 mm × 0.7 mm.

description: Medical drug infusion problems pose a combination of challenges such as nonlinearities from physiological models, model uncertainty due to inter- and intra-patient variability, as well as strict safety specifications. With these challenges in mind, we propose a novel real-time Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) scheme based on projected gradient descent iterations. At each iteration, a small number of steps along the gradient of the NMPC cost is taken, generating a suboptimal input which asymptotically converges to the optimal input. We retrieve classical Lyapunov stability guarantees by performing a sufficient number of gradient iterations until fulfilling a stopping criteria. Such a real-time control approach allows for higher sampling rates and faster feedback from the system which is advantageous for the class of highly variable and uncertain drug infusion problems. To demonstrate the controller's potential, we apply it to hypnosis control in anesthesia of two interacting drugs. The controller successfully regulates hypnosis even under disturbances and uncertainty and fulfils benchmark performance criteria.
Cross-Cultural Variation in Objective Measures of Voice: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Palmer, Jesse
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: For years, one of the key components of a voice examination has been taking acoustic measurements of the patient's voice. The reasoning behind this has been that these values could be compared to the normative data in order to determine how the patient's voice is differing from what is expected of a vocally healthy individual. This in turn helps inform the speech pathologist as to what is happening with the patient's voice either organically or functionally, helps them decide which techniques may be utilized in therapy, and gives them information to relay back to the referring doctor. Although this normative acoustic data often plays such a vital role in voice evaluations, it is often accepted without considering the populations it was drawn from. America continues to become more ethnically and culturally diverse, so this data needs to be representative of our shifting demographics. Patients could be wrongly diagnosed and improperly treated for a voice disorder because the acoustic characteristics of their voice didn't match those of a population that differs significantly from their own. According to ASHA's Preferred Practice Patterns (2004), comprehensive assessments should be "sensitive to persons from all culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds." Therefore, it is our ethical duty as speech language pathologists to utilize data that will represent people from all cultures and ethnicities. The goal of this systematic review was to investigate the normative acoustic voice data of people from different racial and cultural backgrounds and how it compared to the generally accepted norms. Through this, it was hoped that either the existing norms would be validated or enough evidence would be found to encourage further study into the topic.

Year: 2015

description: Objectives: To build collaborative relationships between the Health Sciences Library, and local community colleges. Setting/Participants: The Health Science Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) formed partnerships with a librarian and occupational therapy professor at Durham Technical Community College, and a librarian at Central Carolina Community College. Brief Description: We received two outreach express awards from the National Library of Medicine to reach out to librarians, students, faculty, and staff at community colleges because of the important role they play in the training and development of the allied health professions. A plan was developed in response to the health information needs identified in survey results from the faculty and students. Based on results indicating that 86% of students reported that they learn better with hands-on activities and tutorials, we developed two interactive training modules. The first module was on consumer health resources for patient education for nursing students, and the second module was on research skills for occupational therapy students. The lessons learned from this project will be helpful for libraries that want to partner with and reach out to community colleges. Results/Outcome: The partnership formed between the Health Science Library at UNC and Durham Technical Community College and Central Carolina Community College allowed us to create interactive training modules that matched the needs and resources of both partners and their users. Evaluation Method: We did a pre-module survey and post-module survey of the students and faculty at each community college to determine their information needs, and the impact of the training modules.

description: Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder of the Xchromosome characterized by short stature and incomplete or absent sexual maturation at puberty. Other common phenotype traits include a high, arched palate, microagnathia, and increased risk for gastrointestinal disorders. Infants with Turner Syndrome often have difficulty feeding with both milk and table foods. Current literature documents feeding disorders at a rate of 74% within this population, with difficulty coordinating the suck and swallow sequence and developing adequate chewing skills (Mathieson, Reilly, & Skuse, 1992). Few studies have been conducted, however, and data on large sample sizes is still needed.

description: Excerpts from the report: Algeria has pursued a policy of nationalization in agriculture since it gained independence in 1962 and has placed most of its mechanized agriculture in the hands of government-regulated cooperatives. Cooperatives in both rural and urban areas are encouraged by the Algerian Government as the basic means for combating unemployment and for helping to reorganize the economy. Increased emphasis is being placed upon the production of crops for local consumption at the expense of such export crops as wine grapes (which are exported as wine) and durum wheat. Further improvement of water supplies and grazing conditions for livestock is an additional goal. Projects already underway--with the help of the United States--include contour farming, reservoir construction, irrigation, land reclamation, reforestation, and road building.

description: Quantum sensors based on the superposition of neutral atoms are promising for sensing the nature of dark matter (DM). In this study, we utilize the Stern-Gerlach (SG) interferometer configuration to seek a novel method for the detection of detect axion-like particles (ALPs). Using an SG interferometer, we create a spatial quantum superposition of neutral atoms such as $^{3}$He and $^{87}$Rb. It is shown that the interaction of ALPs with this superposition induces a relative phase between superposed quantum components. We use the quantum Boltzmann equation (QBE) to introduce a first-principles analysis that describes the temporal evolution of the sensing system. The QBE approach employs quantum field theory (QFT) to highlight the role of the quantum nature of the interactions with the quantum systems. The resulting exclusion area demonstrates that our scheme allows for the exclusion of a range of ALP mass in the range of $10^{-10}\leq m_{a}\leq 10^{2}\,\mathrm{eV}$ and ALP-atom coupling constant in the range $10^{-13}\leq g_{ae}\leq 10^{0}$.

description: Mean field approximation is a powerful technique which has been used in many settings to study large-scale stochastic systems. In the case of two-timescale systems, the approximation is obtained by a combination of scaling arguments and the use of the averaging principle. This paper analyzes the approximation error of this `average' mean field model for a two-timescale model $(\boldsymbol{X}, \boldsymbol{Y})$, where the slow component $\boldsymbol{X}$ describes a population of interacting particles which is fully coupled with a rapidly changing environment $\boldsymbol{Y}$. The model is parametrized by a scaling factor $N$, e.g. the population size, which as $N$ gets large decreases the jump size of the slow component in contrast to the unchanged dynamics of the fast component. We show that under relatively mild conditions, the `average' mean field approximation has a bias of order $O(1/N)$ compared to $\mathbb{E}[\boldsymbol{X}]$. This holds true under any continuous performance metric in the transient regime, as well as for the steady-state if the model is exponentially stable. To go one step further, we derive a bias correction term for the steady-state, from which we define a new approximation called the refined `average' mean field approximation whose bias is of order $O(1/N^2)$. This refined `average' mean field approximation allows computing an accurate approximation even for small scaling factors, i.e., $N\approx 10 -50$. We illustrate the developed framework and accuracy results through an application to a random access CSMA model.

description: This is a replication of the second experiment (Experiment 2a) in a series of experiments, with Experiment 2a preregistered at https://osf.io/re5mw/ with the title: “Training effects of healthy vs. hedonic health perspectives on food choice: No training baseline experiment”. We will refer to the new experiment being preregistered here as Experiment 2b. Experiment 1 was a highly similar but slightly different experiment, with similar results, which wasn’t preregistered because of its exploratory nature. The preregistered experiment being replicated (Experiment 2a) produced results somewhat contrary to our initial hypotheses, along with additional unexpected results discovered in exploratory analyses. Because all of these results make sense now as a whole (from a principled theoretical perspective), we want to predict that they will occur in an exact replication of the previous experiment (Experiment 2b).

description: The thermodynamic properties of a non-interacting ideal Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) of finite volume have been studied in the presence of an external magnetic field. The inclusion of background magnetic field in the calculation of thermodynamic potential is done by the modification of the dispersion relations of the charged hadrons in terms of Landau quantization. The generalized Matsubara prescription has been employed to take into account the finite size effects in which a periodic (anti-periodic) boundary conditions is considered for the mesons (baryons). We find significant effects of the magnetic field as well as system size on the temperature dependence of energy density, longitudinal and transverse pressure especially in low temperature regions. The HRG is found to exhibit diamagnetism (paramagnetism) in the low (high) temperature region whereas the finite size effect is seen to strengthen the diamagnetic behavior of the medium.

Finding and refining prompts that produce a desired image has become the art of prompt engineering. Generative models do not provide a built-in retrieval model for a user's information need expressed through prompts. In light of an extensive literature review, we reframe prompt engineering for generative models as interactive text-based retrieval on a novel kind of "infinite index". We apply these insights for the first time in a case study on image generation for game design with an expert. Finally, we envision how active learning may help to guide the retrieval of generated images.

description: U.S. agricultural exports are one of the major bright spots in the unfavorable U.S. balance-of-payments picture. Our farm product shipments, which reached a record peak in 1964, are helping offset the dollar drain flowing in large part from U.S. investment abroad, cold war outlays, and tourist expenditures. Large U.S. dollar deficits and losses of monetary gold are genuine cause for concern. Even though the United States is the principal banker of the free world, any potential weakness of the dollar poses the threat of serious monetary and trade problems for us and our friends abroad. Further expansion of exports, including U.S. agricultural shipments, is high on the list of measures advocated to correct the balance-of-payments problem.

Dynamical modeling of barred S0 galaxy NGC 4371 with TIMER survey
Creators: name: Tahmasebzadeh, Behzad
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: We apply the barred Schwarzschild model recently developed by Tahmasebzadeh et al. (2022) to a barred S0 galaxy, NGC 4371, observed by IFU instruments from both the TIMER and ATLAS3D projects. We construct the gravitational potential by combining a spherical dark matter halo, a fixed black hole mass, and stellar mass deprojected from the photometry image considering a triaxial barred bulge and an axisymmetric. We create two sets of independent models, fitting the kinematic data derived from TIMER and ATLAS3D, separately. The models fit all the kinematic data very well. We find consistent bar pattern speed from the two sets of models, with Ωp = 23.6 ± 2.8 km s−1 kpc−1. The bar rotation rate parameter is further determined to be R 2.2 ± 0.4, indicating a slow bar in NGC 4371. Besides, we obtain dark matter fraction of ∼ 0.51 ± 0.06 within the bar region. Our results support the scenario that bars may slow down in the presence of dynamical friction with a significant amount of dark matter in the disk regions. Based on our model, we further decompose the galaxy into multiple 3D orbital structures, including: a BP/X bar, a classic bulge, an inner disk, and an outer disk. The BP/X bar is not perfectly included in the input 3D density model, but picked by fitting to the kinematic data. Our model is applicable to large sample of nearby barred galaxies with IFU data, and it will improve remarkably their previous models without the bar explicitly included.

description: Objective: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestone Project has created the need for specialty focused, developmentally tiered and competency based evidence-based medicine (EBM) instruction. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Health Sciences Library is extending current staff capacity for face-to-face sessions by creating online module templates that can be adapted to meet the specific needs of more residency programs. Method: Testing the effectiveness, quality and usability of the draft templates is part of the project development plan. The specialty focused EBM face-to-face instruction session of the Clinical Based Year (CBY) anesthesiology residents' Academic Medicine Rotation is the model for the online template. In order to be able to compare the validity of the online modules in comparison with face-to-face sessions, baseline data was gathered from a pre-test/post-test completed by the ten anesthesiology resident participants in the 2015 program. The pre-test/post-test included five knowledge questions and two self-perception questions. After the face-to-face session, the anesthesiology residents were asked to review the online module version of the instruction and answer a brief survey about ease of use and preferred learning mode. Results: Seven of ten residents increased their number of correct answers on the post-test. There were no perfect scores on the pre-test and five perfect scores on the post-test. Three of ten residents indicated a higher self-perceived comfort level for completing a PubMed EBM search. Two of ten residents had an increase level of agreement that their PubMed searching skills are sufficient. Seven of ten residents evaluated the online module and rated it as clearly organized and easy to understand and use. Four would prefer to learn and practice the EBM content in a group session with an instructor, two did not have a preference and one strongly preferred to learn online. Conclusion: Pre-test/post-test data confirmed face-to-face instruction had a positive impact on EBM knowledge and moderately improved self-perceived comfort with EBM searching. This baseline data will be used to compare with residents who only use the online format in the future. Positive feedback on ease of using the online module confirms that the template is functional. A more formal objective evaluation is planned. The variety of learning preferences within this small group indicates that face-to-face instruction is preferred by some, but that online modules will better meet the needs of others and appear to be an adequate way to expand our overall reach.
Schreckgespenst Inflation

description: Das Schreckgespenst der Inflation beschäftigt nicht nur die Währungshüter, sondern beunruhigt auch Verbraucher:innen und Politik. Der Europäischen Zentralbank wird angesichts ihrer Prognosen und ihrer daraus folgenden Zinspolitik vorgeworfen, die tatsächliche Entwicklung der Inflation in den Jahren 2021 und 2022 deutlich unterschätzt zu haben. Aber warum ist es so schwierig, eine starke oder schwache Teuerung über längere Prognosehorizonte präzise vorherzusagen, und welche Schlussfolgerungen sind daraus für die Praxis zu ziehen? Dazu forschen Wirtschaftswissenschaftler der Universität Heidelberg – und geben Empfehlungen zur Geldpolitik.

description: Besonders in Krisenzeiten wie der Corona-Pandemie oder Wirtschaftskrisen flammt die Diskussion über die Rolle des Staates und dessen Leistungsfähigkeit auf. Was macht einen starken Staat im Unterschied zum schwachen Staat aus? Ist ein Staat, der alle Aufgaben zentralisiert erledigt, besonders stark oder stärkt ihn gerade eine dezentrale Organisation? Welche wesentlichen Eigenschaften kennzeichnen einen starken Rechtsstaat? Und wie kann ein demokratischer Staat seinen Bürgern politische Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung ermöglichen, ohne dass umstürzlerische Strömungen dies ausnutzen können? Im Kern geht es immer um das richtige Verhältnis zwischen Freiheit und Regulierung – wie das auf verschiedenen Ebenen auszutarieren ist, damit beschäftigen sich (nicht nur) Rechtswissenschaftler:innen an der Universität Heidelberg.

description: LIEBE LESERINNEN UND LESER DER RUPERTO CAROLA, insbesondere auch in der Wissenschaft gilt, dass „stark“ und „schwach“ keine absolut gültigen, sondern relative Begriffe sind: Was in einem Kontext oder Sys- tem als Stärke gilt, kann in anderen Zusammenhängen zur Schwäche werden und umgekehrt. Wissenschaft zeigt uns aber auch, dass für viele Prozesse des Lebens wie auch der Koexistenz ein Zusammenspiel von starken und schwachen Elementen notwendig ist, um zur richtigen Balance, zu Erfolgen oder auch zur erwünschten Resilienz zu finden. Und immer wieder sehen wir, dass viele für sich genommen schwache Strukturen gebündelt große Stärke entfalten können. Mit diesen Fragen und Prozessen beschäftigt sich die aktuelle Ausgabe unseres Forschungsmagazins RUPERTO CAROLA zum Schwerpunktthema SCHWACH & STARK. In den Beiträgen aus vielen Disziplinen unserer Universität geht es un- ter anderem um schwache und starke Staaten und Demokratien, aber auch um ebensolche Herzen, es geht um molekulare Balanceakte, die künstliches Leben schaffen, um robuste biologische Systeme, es geht um Geschlechterstereotype und deren Auswirkungen sowie um die Frage, wie wir Schulen schaffen können, aus denen alle Kinder und Jugendlichen gestärkt hervorgehen. Diese 22. Ausgabe der RUPERTO CAROLA ist die letzte, die ich Ihnen als Rektor der Universität Heidelberg vorstelle. Ab Oktober wird meine Kollegin Prof. Dr. Frauke Melchior an der Spitze unserer Universität stehen und damit auch unser Forschungsmagazin herausgeben. Ich möchte dem Wissenschaftlichen Beirat, der Redaktion, aber auch allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die mit den Berichten aus ihrer Forschung dieses vielfach ausgezeichnete Flaggschiff unserer Wissenschafts- kommunikation ermöglichen, danken. Ich bin sicher, die RUPERTO CAROLA wird Ihnen weiterhin eindrucksvoll zeigen, wie stark die Forschung an der Univer- sität Heidelberg Zukunft mitgestaltet! Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Bernhard Eitel Rektor der Universität Heidelberg

description: Given any linear code $C$ over a finite field $GF(q)$ we show how $C$ can be described in a transparent and geometrical way by using the associated Bruen-Silverman code. Then, specializing to the case of MDS codes we use our new approach to offer improvements to the main results currently available concerning MDS extensions of linear MDS codes. We also sharply limit the possibilities for constructing long non-linear MDS codes.

Toward Whom Does Intergroup Contact Reduce Prejudice? Exploring National Majorities’ Prejudice Toward Ethnic and Migrant Minorities
Creators: name: Fırat, Mustafa

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences
subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology
subject: intergroup contact;
subject: intergroup threat
subject: prejudice

description: Although the effectiveness of intergroup contact as a mechanism for reducing prejudice is well-established, limited research has simultaneously examined this effect among groups that are in different contact relationships. Using a between-group cross-sectional design of 335 Turkish undergraduate students, this study compared the direct and the indirect association of intergroup contact with prejudice toward Kurds and Syrians in Turkey through intergroup threat. The results showed that intergroup contact predicted less prejudice toward Kurds but not toward Syrians, and intergroup threat mediated the role of intergroup contact in prejudice toward Kurds but not toward Syrians. The findings were discussed based on theories of intergroup contact and intergroup threat, with a reflection on the limitations, extensions, and implications of the study.

Addressing cumulative effects in Strategic Environmental Assessment of spatial planning
Creators: name: Bragagnolo, Chiara
name: Geneletti, Davide
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2012

description: Strategic environmental Assessment (SEA) is a decision support instrument for predicting and evaluating the likely environmental effects of implementing a policy, plan or programme. SEA can consider the cumulative impacts of more than one project or activity on the same environmen- tal component. This paper discusses the analysis of cumulative effects in SEA, with reference to spatial planning by: providing a review of key concepts and methods related to cumulative effects literature; presenting a rationale for the inclusion of cumulative effects in SEA of spatial plans; advancing a proposal to address cumulative effects in different SEA stages. The paper concludes that SEA offers the opportunity to support a better management of cumulative effects arising from many local-level spatial planning decisions. Three aspects emerged as critical to ensure good practices: the selection of valued environmental components, the adoption of future-oriented approaches, and the use of spatially-explicit information.

U. S. Agriculture's First Year Under EEC Variable Import Levies

Year: 1965
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy
International Relations/Trade

description: Excerpts from the Report: The European Economic Community (EEC) implemented its variable import levy system for wheat, feed grains, pork, poultry and eggs beginning July 30, 1962. This study examines the effects of the system on imports from the United States during its first full year of operation, calendar 1963. The variable levy system is part of the EEC's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) provided for in the Rome Treaty of 1957, under which the Community was organized. Under the CAP, prices in the EEC are to be harmonized, and a common external tariff for the 6 member countries is to be imposed in stages, with the target date for integration set at 1970. The 6 countries have recently agreed to advance this date to July 1, 1967, for pork, poultry, eggs, and cereals. The CAP provides for import licenses, refunds on exports, "safeguard" measures, and variable levies. This system is supposed to replace all other existing trade restrictions, including subsidies, quotas, tariff duties, State trading, mixing regulations, etc. in Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany -- the 6 EEC members.
