description: The CIP 10-M personal sampler measures worker exposure to airborne particles by collecting particles in a rotating metal cup containing a few milliliters of a collection fluid. This device is mainly used to sample microorganisms or microbial components to measure bioaerosol concentrations in various occupational environments. Aqueous liquids are generally used, but their rapid evaporation limits the duration of sampling; alternative collection fluids could alleviate this problem. Indeed, the particle-collection efficiency of the rotating cup has not been extensively studied, and the only data available relate to a discontinued model. This study aimed to measure the collection efficiency of the current rotating cup model containing an aqueous (water) or viscous (ViaTrap mineral oil) collection fluid. The kinetics of evaporation confirmed that ViaTrap does not evaporate, making 8-h sampling campaigns in constant volumes feasible. Particles with a wide range of aerodynamic diameters (between around 0.1 and 10 µm) were produced using various test rigs and mono- or polydisperse test aerosols. Both new and older cup models performed similarly, with a collection efficiency of >80% for larger particles (aerodynamic diameters >2.8 µm), progressively decreasing to around 50% for aerodynamic diameters of 2.1 µm; with aerodynamic diameters of <1 µm, the collection efficiency was generally <10%. In physical terms, collection efficiency was unaffected by the type (aqueous or viscous) or volume (between 0 and 3 mL) of collection fluid used. Bias maps indicated that the inhalable fraction may be underestimated in occupational settings, particularly with aerosols mainly composed of particles with aerodynamic diameters of less than around 3 µm.

description: Σε αυτή την διπλωματική εργασία διερευνάτε πως οι μεταβολές του πετρελαίου τύπου Brent, επηρεάζουν τις αποδόσεις χρηματιστηριακών αγορών σε οκτώ ευρωπαϊκές χώρες εισαγωγείς πετρελαίου (Βέλγιο, Γερμανία, Γαλλία, Ιταλία, Ισπανία, Ολλανδία, Πολωνία, Σουηδία). Η ανίχνευση των σχέσεων μεταξύ των δύο μεταβλητών γίνεται σε πρώτο στάδιο λαμβάνοντας υπόψη επιπλέον δυο μεταβλητές ελέγχου: τον δείκτη βιομηχανικής παραγωγής και τα βραχυχρόνια επιτόκια κρατικών τίτλων. Έπειτα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τα υποδείγματα VAR (Vector Autoregressive) , VECM (Vector Error Correction Models), ώστε εφαρμοστούν οι μεθοδολογίες: ανάλυση κρουστικών αποκρίσεων (impulse responses), διάσπασης διακύμανσης (Variance decomposition), έλεγχος αιτιότητας κατά Granger για την χρονική περίοδο 19 Σεπτεμβρίου 2003 έως 19 Μάιου 2023. Το κύριο εύρημα ήταν πως στο διάστημα αυτό οι αποδόσεις των χρηματιστήριων βρέθηκαν να έχουν θετική συσχέτιση με τις αποδόσεις της αγοράς πετρελαίου. Επίσης η διάσπαση διακύμανσης έδειξε πως η μεταβλητότητα στην αγορά πετρελαίου και μετοχών εξηγείται κατά κύριο λόγο μετά από έξι μήνες από τις δικές τους μεταβολές, ενώ η ύπαρξη ενδογένειας επαληθεύτηκε σε αρκετές περιπτώσεις σε όλες τις χώρες. Στο επόμενο στάδιο εξετάστηκε μέσω του πλαισίου NARDL (Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag) εάν υπάρχει συνολοκλήρωση μεταξύ των μεταβλητών καθώς και βραχυχρόνια και μακροχρόνια ασυμμετρία στην συμπεριφορά των μεταβολών των χρηματιστηριακών αποδόσεων όταν συμβαίνουν θετικές ή αρνητικές αλλαγές στις τιμές του πετρελαίου. Τα αποτελέσματα ήταν ανάμεικτα και η ασυμμετρία δεν επαληθεύτηκε στην πλειοψηφία των χωρών, ενώ σε όλες τις περιπτώσεις ο έλεγχος συνολοκλήρωσης κατέδειξε ύπαρξη μακροχρόνιων σχέσεων μεταξύ πετρελαίου-χρηματιστηρίων.

The Role of the Sonority Cycle in Core Syllabification
Creators: name: Clementrs, G. N.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1988

description: My purpose here will be to examine the status of sonority within phonological theory. I will propose that an adequate account of sonority must be based on a principle termed the Sonority Cycle, according to which the sonority profile of the preferred syllable type rises maximally at the beginning and drops minimally at the end (the term cycle will be used exclusively in this study to refer to this quasiperiodic rise and fall). We will see that this principle is capable of providing a uniform explanation not only for cross-linguistic generalizations of segment sequencing of the sort mentioned above, but also for an impressive number of additional observations which have not been related to each other up to the present time. Regarding its substantive nature, I will suggest that sonority is not a single, multidimensional property of segments, but is derived from more basic binary categories, identical to the major class features of standard phonological theory (Chomsky and Halle 1968) supplemented with the feature "approximant."

description: A dynamic treatment regime is a sequence of decision rules, each of which recommends treatment based on features of patient medical history such as past treatments and outcomes. Existing methods for estimating optimal dynamic treatment regimes from data optimize the mean of a response variable. However, the mean may not always be the most appropriate summary of performance. We derive estimators of decision rules for optimizing probabilities and quantiles computed with respect to the response distribution for two-stage, binary treatment settings. This enables estimation of dynamic treatment regimes that optimize the cumulative distribution function of the response at a prespecified point or a prespecified quantile of the response distribution such as the median. The proposed methods perform favorably in simulation experiments. We illustrate our approach with data from a sequentially randomized trial where the primary outcome is remission of depression symptoms.

description: We present an optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the fast-declining hydrogen-rich Type II supernova (SN) 2019nyk. The light curve properties of SN 2019nyk align well with those of other fast-declining Type II SNe, such as SNe 2013by and 2014G. SN 2019nyk exhibits a peak absolute magnitude of -18.09 $\pm$ 0.17 mag in the V band, followed by a rapid decline at 2.84 $\pm$ 0.03 mag (100 d)$^{-1}$ during the recombination phase. The early spectra of SN 2019nyk exhibit high-ionisation emission features as well as narrow H Balmer lines, persisting until 4.1 d since explosion, indicating the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) in close proximity. A comparison of these features with other Type II SNe displaying an early interaction reveals similarities between these features and those observed in SNe 2014G and 2023ixf. We also compared the early spectra to literature models, estimating a mass-loss rate of the order of 10$^{-3}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Radiation hydrodynamical modelling of the light curve also suggests the mass loss from the progenitor within a short period prior to explosion, totalling 0.16 M$_\odot$ of material within 2900 R$_\odot$ of the progenitor. Furthermore, light curve modelling infers a zero-age main sequence mass of 15 M$_\odot$ for the progenitor, a progenitor radius of 1031 R$_\odot$, and an explosion energy of 1.1 $\times$ 10$^{51}$ erg.

description: Sleep and its impact on physiology and pathophysiology are researched at an accelerating pace and from many different angles. Experiments provide evidence for chronobiologically plausible links between chronodisruption and sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD), on the one hand, and the development of cancer, on the other. Epidemiological evidence from cancer incidence among some 1 500 000 study individuals in 13 countries regarding associations with sleep duration, napping or “poor sleep” is variable and inconclusive. Combined adjusted relative risks (meta-RRs) for female breast cancer, based on heterogeneous data, were 1.01 (95% CI: 0.97–1.06). Meta-RRs for cancers of the colorectum and of the lung in women and men and for prostate cancer were 1.08 (95% CI: 1.03–1.13), 1.11 (95% CI: 1.00–1.22) and 1.05 (95% CI: 0.83–1.33), respectively. The significantly increased meta-RRs for colorectal cancer, based on homogeneous data, warrant targeted study. However, the paramount epidemiological problem inhibiting valid conclusions about the associations between sleep and cancer is the probable misclassification of the exposures to facets of sleep over time. Regarding the inevitable conclusion that more research is needed to answer How are sleep and cancer linked in humans? we offer eight sets of recommendations for future studies which must take note of the complexity of multidirectional relationships.

description: Statement of Purpose: Life skills programs aim to equip youth with physical disabilities with the foundational skills required for adulthood. This study explored the perceived impact of residential immersive life skills (RILS) programs on the lives of participants. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with alumni of three RILS programs. Data were thematically analyzed using a phenomenological approach. Results: Themes identified from fourteen interviews were: (1) enhancing higher-order skills; (2) new notions of independence; and (3) identity change, empowerment, and advocacy. Opportunities to learn and practise a variety of skills in a structured, facilitative environment led to increased competence and motivation to engage in independent activities. Engaging with peers undergoing similar experiences also helped some youth integrate disability into their identity. Conclusions: Providing youth with physical disabilities opportunities to engage with others sharing similar experiences and challenges is essential. The study contributes toward the development of evidence-based best practices for life skills programs.
Stress conditions on vowel quality and quantity in German
Creators: name: Jessen, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1993

description: German has a phonemic distinction between tense and lax vowels. For all vowels except the low ones this distinction is realized phonetically by both vowel quality (i.e. formant structure) and vowel quantity (i.e. duration). In acoustic terms, we find oppositions like in Miete [i:] 'rent' vs. Mitte [I] 'mid' differing both in formant structure, most noticeably FI and F2, and in duration. This distinction in both quality and quantity is
 fully manifested under main stress. However, there is disagreement in the German phonetic literature about what happens under degrees of stress lower than main stress. There are two positions on this issue. Under the first view, both phonetic quality and quantity remain equally important as realizations of the tense/lax opposition for any level of stress. Under degrees of stress lower than main stress the difference between tense and lax vowels is reduced compared to main stress position. This reduction affects both quality and quantity to the same proportion. Under the second view, reduction under low degrees of stress
 affects quantity more than quality, such that in some weak stress contexts, tense and lax
 vowels are claimed to differ in quality but to be equal in quantity. This paper provides acoustic-phonetic evidence that bears upon this issue. Duration and formant structure of German tense and lax vowels are evaluated with respect to these two different views, which will be defined more specifically as the "association hypothesis" and the "dissociation hypothesis" respectively. Following this empirical treatment, which constitutes the main body of the paper, the reader will be introduced to a classic issue in German phonology: is it quality or quantity that has distinctive status in the German vowel system. Results and implications from the present study, as well as other data will be discussed in light of this debate.

description: Nova explosions are caused by global thermonuclear runaways triggered in the surface layers of accreting white dwarfs. It has been predicted that localised thermonuclear bursts on white dwarfs can also take place, similar to Type I X-ray bursts observed in accreting neutron stars. Unexplained rapid bursts from the binary system TV Columbae, in which mass is accreted onto a moderately-strong magnetised white dwarf from a low-mass companion, have been observed on several occasions in the past $\approx40$ years. During these bursts the optical/UV luminosity increases by a factor of $>3$ in less than an hour and fades over $\approx10$ hours. Fast outflows have been observed in UV spectral lines, with velocities $>3500$ km s$^{-1}$, comparable to the escape velocity from the white dwarf surface. Here we report on optical bursts observed in TV Columbae as well as in two additional accreting systems, EI Ursae Majoris and ASASSN-19bh. The bursts have a total energy $\approx~10^{-6}$ those of classical nova explosions ("micronovae"), and bear a strong resemblance to Type I X-ray bursts. We exclude accretion or stellar magnetic reconnection events as their origin and suggest thermonuclear runaway events in magnetically-confined accretion columns as a viable explanation.

description: This paper discusses the basic facts about Mandarin intonation. I start with a description of tone shapes and tonal targets in monosyllabic and disyllabic sequences, and then proceed to discuss other factors such as catathesis, prominence, and pitch raising and lowering in discourse structure. Although it is possible that we will never be able to give an exhaustive list of the various factors that may influence the realization of FO, a step-bystep study will bring us closer to our goal.

Therefore, it is necessary to first evaluate the intention to use technology to ensure the effectiveness of the intervention. The study aimed to determine the predictive capacity of variables associated with theories of human behavior, on the intention to use VR in an intradialysis exercise program. A sample of 324 hemodialysis patients (F = 140; M = 184) from Chile, filled out a questionnaire. Before this, information was provided regarding VR and the exercise program. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze results through SmartPLS. Results showed that the dependent variable had a good amount of variance explained by the model. The latent variables that strongly influenced the intention to use were perceived enjoyment, perceived utility, and social influence. It can be predicted that users will intend to use VR to perform intradialysis exercises if they consider that it´s entertaining, useful, and validated by their peers.

description: Background: Cocaine and opioid co-use is a notable public health concern, but little is known about correlates of this behavior. Most prior findings come from treatment samples and concern cocaine and heroin. Findings from a nationally representative sample involving primarily prescription opioid misuse would expand knowledge. Methods: Past-12-month cocaine and/or opioid users in Wave 1 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) formed the sample (N = 839). Cocaine-only, opioid-only, and cocaine/opioid co-users were compared regarding sociodemographics, other substance involvement, psychiatric, and medical conditions/events. Results: Opioid-only users were the largest group (n = 622), followed by cocaine-only (n = 144) and co-users (n = 73). The vast majority of opioid misuse was of prescription opioids (1.4% with past-12-month use of heroin). Notably, co-users did not differ from single drug users in frequency of use of either drug. Co-users did not have significantly greater incidence of any psychiatric conditions, medial conditions, or events. In preliminary analyses, co-users were more likely than either single use group to report several classes of other drug use. However, for most comparisons, opioid use did not add substantial risk beyond cocaine use. Differences on multiple sociodemographic variables suggested opioid-only users were at lowest risk of negative outcomes. These results may relate to a finding that opioid-only users were less likely to have sought treatment. Conclusions/importance: This sample of past-12-month cocaine and/or opioid users had greater involvement with other substances, more psychiatric and medical conditions compared to the general population. Co-users had greater involvement with other substances than opioid-only users in particular.

description: The use of enzymes in non-aqueous solvents expands the use of biocatalysts to hydrophobic substrates, with the ability to tune selectivity of reactions through solvent selection. Non-aqueous enzymology also allows for fundamental studies on the role of water and other solvents in enzyme structure, dynamics, and function. Molecular dynamics simulations serve as a powerful tool in this area, providing detailed atomic information about the effect of solvents on enzyme properties. However, a common protocol for non-aqueous enzyme simulations does not exist. If you want to simulate enzymes in non-aqueous solutions, how many and which crystallographic waters do you keep? In the present work, this question is addressed by determining which crystallographic water molecules lead most quickly to an equilibrated protein structure. Five different methods of selecting and keeping crystallographic waters are used in order to discover which crystallographic waters lead the protein structure to reach an equilibrated structure more rapidly in organic solutions. It is found that buried waters contribute most to rapid equilibration in organic solvent, with slow-diffusing waters giving similar results.

description: Relativistic jets are believed to be born magnetically dominated. Very and ultra-high energy cosmic rays can be efficiently accelerated by magnetic reconnection in these sources. We here demonstrate this directly, with no extrapolations to large scales, by means of three-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (3D-RMHD) simulations of a Poyinting flux dominated jet. We inject thousands of low-energy protons in the region of a relativistic jet that corresponds to the transition from magnetically to kinetically dominated, where its magnetization parameter is $σ\sim 1$. In this region, there is efficient fast magnetic reconnection which is naturally driven by current-driven-kink instability (CDKI) turbulence in the helical magnetic fields of the jet. We find that the particles are accelerated by Fermi process in the reconnection regions (and by drift in the final stages) up to energies $E \sim 10^{18}$ eV for background magnetic fields $B \sim 0.1$ G, and $E \sim 10^{20}$ eV for $B \sim 10$ G. We have also derived from the simulations the acceleration rate due to magnetic reconnection which has a weak dependence on the particles energy $ r_{acc} \propto E^{-0.1}$, characteristic of exponential growth. The energy spectrum of the accelerated particles develops a power-law tail with spectral index $p \sim -1.2$. This hardness of the spectrum must decrease when particle losses and feedback into the background plasma are included. Our results can explain observed flux variability in the emission of blazars at the very high energy band as well as the associated neutrino emission. Successful applications of our results to the blazars MRK 421 and TXS 0506+056 are also discussed.

description: The detection of anomalies in time series data is a critical task with many monitoring applications. Existing systems often fail to encompass an end-to-end detection process, to facilitate comparative analysis of various anomaly detection methods, or to incorporate human knowledge to refine output. This precludes current methods from being used in real-world settings by practitioners who are not ML experts. In this paper, we introduce Sintel, a machine learning framework for end-to-end time series tasks such as anomaly detection. The framework uses state-of-the-art approaches to support all steps of the anomaly detection process. Sintel logs the entire anomaly detection journey, providing detailed documentation of anomalies over time. It enables users to analyze signals, compare methods, and investigate anomalies through an interactive visualization tool, where they can annotate, modify, create, and remove events. Using these annotations, the framework leverages human knowledge to improve the anomaly detection pipeline. We demonstrate the usability, efficiency, and effectiveness of Sintel through a series of experiments on three public time series datasets, as well as one real-world use case involving spacecraft experts tasked with anomaly analysis tasks. Sintel's framework, code, and datasets are open-sourced at https://github.com/sintel-dev/.

description: In recent years, supervised learning has been widely used in various tasks of optical remote sensing image understanding, including remote sensing image classification, pixel-wise segmentation, change detection, and object detection. The methods based on supervised learning need a large amount of high-quality training data and their performance highly depends on the quality of the labels. However, in practical remote sensing applications, it is often expensive and time-consuming to obtain large-scale data sets with high-quality labels, which leads to a lack of sufficient supervised information. In some cases, only coarse-grained labels can be obtained, resulting in the lack of exact supervision. In addition, the supervised information obtained manually may be wrong, resulting in a lack of accurate supervision. Therefore, remote sensing image understanding often faces the problems of incomplete, inexact, and inaccurate supervised information, which will affect the breadth and depth of remote sensing applications. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, researchers have explored various tasks in remote sensing image understanding under weak supervision. This paper summarizes the research progress of weakly supervised learning in the field of remote sensing, including three typical weakly supervised paradigms: 1) Incomplete supervision, where only a subset of training data is labeled; 2) Inexact supervision, where only coarse-grained labels of training data are given; 3) Inaccurate supervision, where the labels given are not always true on the ground.

description: Background: For women of refugee background, the increased risk of mental illness associated with pregnancy is compounded by pre- and post-settlement stressors. In Australia, antenatal screening for depression and anxiety symptoms using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is recommended for all women. Despite this, screening is not routinely implemented and little is known about barriers and enablers to implementation for women of refugee background. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a range of health professionals (n = 28: midwives, obstetricians, perinatal mental health and refugee health experts, interpreters) and women of refugee background (n = 9). Themes generated from thematic analysis were examined in relation to the Theoretical Domains Framework and Cultural Competence Conceptual Framework, followed by identification of effective behaviour change techniques to address the barriers and enablers identified by participants. These techniques formed the basis of recommendations to inform sustainable implementation of screening and referral. Results: Almost all participants perceived perinatal mental health screening to be necessary and most recognised the importance of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening. Barriers and enablers were identified and related to eight domains: knowledge, skills, professional roles, beliefs about capabilities and consequences, environmental context, social influences and behavioural regulation. Conclusions: This research clarifies how mental health screening may be integrated into routine antenatal care for women of refugee background, in order to improve provision of recommended care. These theory-informed recommendations include an inter-disciplinary approach, coordinating care within and across services, addition of PTSD screening, and effective communication with women.

description: Purpose: To assess the vision-related (VR) and health-related (HR) quality-of-life (QoL) of patients with uveitis. Methods: In total, 60 patients with uveitis, 81 patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR), and 70 healthy subjects completed the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire and the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short Form. Results: Patients with uveitis reported lower HR- and VR-QoL than healthy subjects (p<0.05) and lower VR-QoL (p<0.001) than patients with DR. For patients with uveitis, multiple linear regression analyses indicated that lower HR-QoL scores were predicted by younger age (p<0.01), while lower VR-QoL scores were predicted by poorer visual acuity (p<0.001), ocular comorbidities (p<0.05), and female sex (p<0.05). Conclusions: Patients with uveitis have significantly poorer VR- and HR-QoL than healthy control subjects. Uveitis has a more debilitating impact on VR-QoL than DR.
