description: In the year 1900 Max Planck was led by experimental observations to propose a strange formula for the intensity as a function of frequency for light emitted by a cavity. It relied on peculiar properties to be obeyed by the emitters and absorbers in the cavity. I highlight the mathematically suggestive nature of the formula, accessible even to a high school student, that could have provided a clue to the physical reasoning of Planck. In 1905, Einstein made the bold photon hypothesis and was able to predict the formula for the photoelectric effect which was not fully explored then. The first part of this article concerns the period 1905 to 1923 with a possible explanation for the difficulties in acceptance of the new concept. In the second part of the article I present how S. N. Bose's 1924 paper provided a systematic derivation of Planck formula by consistently adopting the conception of photons within Boltzmann's framework. In conclusion we discuss the implications of Quantum Mechanics that eventually emerged, showing that the seeds of some of its uncanny conceptual content were already foreshadowed in Einstein's proposal.

description: Purpose: Previous studies have reported the success of distributional learning for adult speakers across segmental and suprasegmental categories immediately after training. On the other hand, second language (L2) perception models posit that the ease with which learners perceive a nonnative speech contrast depends on the perceptual mapping between the contrast and learners’ first language (L1) categories. This study examined whether a difference in perceptual mapping patterns for different L2–Mandarin tonal contrasts might result in a difference in distributional learning effectiveness for tonal speakers and whether an interval of sleep enhanced the knowledge through consolidation.Method: Following a pretest–training–posttest design, 66 L1–Cantonese participants with fewer than 9 years of Mandarin training were assigned to either the bimodal or unimodal distribution conditions. The participants of each group were asked to discriminate Mandarin level-falling (T1–T4) and level-rising (T1–T2) tone pairs on novel syllables in a within-subject design. All participants were trained in the evening, tested after training, and returned after 12 hr for overnight consolidation assessment.Results: A significant distributional learning effect was observed for Mandarin T1–T4, but only after sleep. No significant distributional learning effect was observed for Mandarin T1–T2, either after training or after sleep.Conclusions: The findings may imply that distributional learning is contingent on perceptual mapping patterns of the target contrasts and that sleep may play a role in the consolidation of knowledge in an implicit statistical learning paradigm.Supplemental Material S1.

description: An essential task of groups is to provide efficient solutions for the complex problems they face. Indeed, considerable efforts have been devoted to the question of collective decision-making related to problems involving a single dominant feature. Here we introduce a quantitative formalism for finding the optimal distribution of the group members' competences in the more typical case when the underlying problem is complex, i.e., multidimensional. Thus, we consider teams that are aiming at obtaining the best possible answer to a problem having a number of independent sub-problems. Our approach is based on a generic scheme for the process of evaluating the proposed solutions (i.e., negotiation). We demonstrate that the best performing groups have at least one specialist for each sub-problem -- but a far less intuitive result is that finding the optimal solution by the interacting group members requires that the specialists also have some insight into the sub-problems beyond their unique field(s). We present empirical results obtained by using a large-scale database of citations being in good agreement with the above theory. The framework we have developed can easily be adapted to a variety of realistic situations since taking into account the weights of the sub-problems, the opinions or the relations of the group is straightforward. Consequently, our method can be used in several contexts, especially when the optimal composition of a group of decision-makers is designed.

La decrescita può dare un contributo nella lotta all'esclusione sociale?
Creators: name: Berti, Fabio
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: In all developed societies of the western world, phenomena of social vulnerability are increasing and the deepening economic crisis of recent years is increasing the loss of traditionally protections and guarantees and the risk of being involved in situations of real social exclusion. The lack of resources has reduced the ability of the welfare system to cope with the worsening of living conditions and increasing numbers of impoverished families. All this is aggravated by the fact that, as shown by a number of empirical studies, the deterioration of material conditions is accompanied by the decline of relations: increase in loneliness, communication difficulties, fear, a sense of isolation, family instability, generation fracture, the decline of solidarity and honesty, leading to a determination in the social climate. The policy of national governments, such as the European Union and other international economic institutions, seeks to respond to these emergencies by implementing measures to boost economic growth in the hope of being able again to finance the welfare state. This paper analyzes whether and how the degrowth theory – viewed not as “negative growth” but as a different wellbeing - can make a contribution to the fight against social vulnerability.

description: The present paper reports on our effort to characterize vortical interactions in complex fluid flows through the use of network analysis. In particular, we examine the vortex interactions in two-dimensional decaying isotropic turbulence and find that the vortical interaction network can be characterized by a weighted scale-free network. It is found that the turbulent flow network retains its scale-free behavior until the characteristic value of circulation reaches a critical value. Furthermore, we show that the two-dimensional turbulence network is resilient against random perturbations but can be greatly influenced when forcing is focused towards the vortical structures that are categorized as network hubs. These findings can serve as a network-analytic foundation to examine complex geophysical and thin-film flows and take advantage of the rapidly growing field of network theory, which complements ongoing turbulence research based on vortex dynamics, hydrodynamic stability, and statistics. While additional work is essential to extend the mathematical tools from network analysis to extract deeper physical insights of turbulence, an understanding of turbulence based on the interaction-based network-theoretic framework presents a promising alternative in turbulence modeling and control efforts.

description: Emerging evidence has revealed that miRNAs could upregulate the expression levels of target genes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying upregulation of targets mediated by miRNAs remains unclear. In this study, we found a novel miRNA named MIR-G-1 by GRSF1-RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-deep sequencing, which could directly target and upregulate LMNB1 and TMED5 in a GRSF1-dependent manner in cervical cancer cells. In addition, upregulated MIR-G-1 in cervical cancer promoted a malignant phenotype in vitro and in vivo. TMED5 could interact with WNT7B and thus activated the canonical WNT-CTNNB1/β-catenin signaling pathway. MIR-G-1 mediated the activation of this pathway. Furthermore, MIR-G-1 promoted serum starvation-induced nuclear macroautophagy/autophagy, and accelerated taxol (TAX)-induced DNA-damage repair in cervical cancer cells. Collectively, these findings may provide a new insight into the upregulation mechanism and nuclear autophagy mediated by miRNAs and provide a potential biomarker for cervical cancer.

description: Purpose: Despite common clinical complaints about memory for conversation after traumatic brain injury (TBI), the nature and severity of this deficit are unknown. In this research note, we report feasibility and preliminary data from a new conversation memory study protocol.Method: Participants in this feasibility study were 10 pairs, each including an adult with chronic, moderate-to-severe TBI and their chosen familiar conversation partner. The experiment began with a naturalistic conversation between participants with TBI and their conversation partners. After a filled delay, participants next completed verbal recall for the conversation, which we transcribed and coded for their accuracy relative to the original conversation. Participants also read chosen statements from their original conversation and predicted what each partner would remember in a week. One week later, participants completed a posttest about who said each of the chosen statements, allowing direct comparison to their predictions.Results: We successfully collected conversation memory data from all 10 pairs, suggesting that this protocol is feasible for future study. In this preliminary sample, people with TBI and their conversation partners did not differ in the accuracy of their recall for the conversation about 20 min after it occurred. When asked to predict their partner’s delayed memory, conversation partners were less accurate than participants with TBI because they underestimated how much their partners with TBI would remember.Conclusion: Measuring memory for conversation in TBI is feasible and may advance the characterization of cognitive-communication impairment in TBI, and its heterogeneity, in everyday contexts.Supplemental Material S1.

description: X-ray emission spectroscopy is emerging as an important complement to x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, providing a characterization of the occupied electronic density of states local to the species of interest. Here, we present details of the design and performance of a compact x-ray emission spectrometer that uses a dispersive refocusing Rowland (DRR) circle geometry to achieve excellent performance for the 2 - 2.5 keV energy range. The DRR approach allows high energy resolution even for unfocused x-ray sources. This property enables high count rates in laboratory studies, comparable to those of insertion-device beamlines at third-generation synchrotrons, despite use of only a low-powered, conventional x-ray tube. The spectrometer, whose overall scale is set by use of a 10-cm diameter Rowland circle and a new small-pixel CMOS x-ray camera, is easily portable to synchrotron or x-ray free electron beamlines. Photometrics from measurements at the Advanced Light Source show somewhat higher overall instrumental efficiency than prior systems based on less tightly curved analyzer optics. In addition, the compact size of this instrument lends itself to future multiplexing to gain large factors in net collection efficiency, or its implementation in controlled gas gloveboxes either in the lab or in an endstation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In Czech, German, and many other languages, part of the semantic focus of the utterance can be moved to the left periphery of the clause. The main generalization is that only the leftmost accented part of the semantic focus can be moved. We propose that movement to the left periphery is generally triggered by an unspecific edge feature of C (Chomsky 2008) and its restrictions can be attributed to requirements of cyclic linearization, modifying the theory of cyclic linearization developed by Fox and Pesetsky (2005). The crucial assumption is that structural accent is a direct consequence of being linearized at merge, thus it is indirectly relevant for (locality restrictions on) movement. The absence of structural accent correlates with given-ness. Given elements may later receive (topic or contrastive) accents, which accounts for fronting in multiple focus/contrastive topic constructions. Without any additional assumptions, the model can account for movement of pragmatically unmarked elements to the left periphery (‘formal fronting’, Frey 2005). Crucially, the analysis makes no reference at all to concepts of information structure in the syntax, in line with the claim of Chomsky (2008) that UG specifies no direct link between syntax and information structure.

title: Length and Energy Dependence of Low-Energy Electron-Induced Strand Breaks in Poly(A) DNA
Creators: name: Ebel, Kenny
name: Bald, Ilko
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2020

description: The DNA in living cells can be effectively damaged by high-energy radiation, which can lead to cell death. Through the ionization of water molecules, highly reactive secondary species such as low-energy electrons (LEEs) with the most probable energy around 10 eV are generated, which are able to induce DNA strand breaks via dissociative electron attachment. Absolute DNA strand break cross sections of specific DNA sequences can be efficiently determined using DNA origami nanostructures as platforms exposing the target sequences towards LEEs. In this paper, we systematically study the effect of the oligonucleotide length on the strand break cross section at various irradiation energies. The present work focuses on poly-adenine sequences (d(A₄), d(A₈), d(A₁₂), d(A₁₆), and d(A₂₀)) irradiated with 5.0, 7.0, 8.4, and 10 eV electrons. Independent of the DNA length, the strand break cross section shows a maximum around 7.0 eV electron energy for all investigated oligonucleotides confirming that strand breakage occurs through the initial formation of negative ion resonances. When going from d(A₄) to d(A₁₆), the strand break cross section increases with oligonucleotide length, but only at 7.0 and 8.4 eV, i.e., close to the maximum of the negative ion resonance, the increase in the strand break cross section with the length is similar to the increase of an estimated geometrical cross section. For d(A₂₀), a markedly lower DNA strand break cross section is observed for all electron energies, which is tentatively ascribed to a conformational change of the dA₂₀ sequence. The results indicate that, although there is a general length dependence of strand break cross sections, individual nucleotides do not contribute independently of the absolute strand break cross section of the whole DNA strand. The absolute quantification of sequence specific strand breaks will help develop a more accurate molecular level understanding of radiation induced DNA damage, which can then be used for optimized risk estimates in cancer radiation therapy.

En collaboration avec le GRIDD (ETS, Université de Québec), le LUCID (Université de Liège) travaille depuis 2013 sur la question de l’implémentation des BIMs dans les processus de conception intégrée de grandes entreprises en architecture et en ingénierie. Pour ce faire, une grille de maturité pour l'évaluation du niveau d’intégration des BIMs dans les entreprises a été (re)définie et utilisée en vue de cartographier et de formaliser la perception de la situation réelle de chacun des protagonistes au moment de l’étude. La méthodologie originale mise en place à cet effet sert de support à la définition des objectifs désirés par l'entreprise pour la poursuite son processus d’intégration. Aujourd’hui, notre démarche est mise en parallèlement en Belgique et au Canada, aussi bien avec des agences d’architecture que des entreprises de construction.

description: Purpose: This study explored the use of an automated language analysis tool, FLUCALC, for measuring fluency in aphasia. The purpose was to determine whether CLAN's FLUCALC command could produce efficient, objective outcome measures for salient aspects of fluency in aphasia.Method: The FLUCALC command was used on CHAT transcripts of Cinderella stories from people with aphasia (PWA; n = 281) and controls (n = 257) in the AphasiaBank database.Results: PWA produced significantly fewer total words, fewer words per minute, more pausing, more repetitions, more revisions, and more phonological fragments than controls, with only one exception: The Wernicke’s group was similar to the control group in percentage of filled pauses. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia had significantly longer inter-utterance pauses and fewer total words than all other aphasia groups. Both the Broca’s and conduction aphasia groups had higher percentages of phrase repetitions than the NABW (NotAphasicByWAB) group. The conduction aphasia group also had a higher percentage of phrase revisions than the NABW and the anomic aphasia groups. Principal components analysis revealed two principal components that accounted for around 60% of the variance and related to quantity of output, rate of speech, and quality of output. The Gaussian mixture models showed that the participants clustered in three groups, which corresponded predominantly to the controls, the nonfluent aphasia group, and the remaining aphasia groups (all classically fluent aphasia types).Conclusions: FLUCALC is an efficient way to measure objective fluency behaviors in language samples in aphasia. Automated analyses of objective fluency behaviors on large samples of adults with and without aphasia can produce measures that can be used by researchers and clinicians to better understand and track salient aspects of fluency in aphasia.Supplemental Material S1.

description: In this work, XLPE/MWCNT and XLPE/CB nanocomposites have been prepared in order to investigate AC electric field and water effects on electrical aging of XLPE. The mechanical, AC breakdown strength and AC conductivity were tested and the morphologies after 30 days electrical aging were observed using an optical microscope. The results showed that all samples exhibit excellent insulation properties and mechanical properties. Compared with CB addition, the MWCNT composites exhibit better resistance to electrical aging, with the length of electrical aging-induced microcracks in the MWCNT blends decreasing from 104 to 22 µm, and the width decreasing from 87 to 17 µm, which means a reduction of ∼80% compared of values for neat XLPE in both length and width. However, the XLPE/CB composites have a tendency to promote electrical aging. The mechanism is revealed by comparing the results of the fibrous MWCNTs with the spherical CBs.

The role of gap edge instabilities in setting the depth of planet gaps in protoplanetary discs

description: It is known that an embedded massive planet will open a gap in a protoplanetary disc via angular momentum exchange with the disc material. The resulting surface density profile of the disc is investigated for one dimensional and two dimensional disc models and, in agreement with previous work, it is found that one dimensional gaps are significantly deeper than their two dimensional counterparts for the same initial conditions. We find, by applying one dimensional torque density distributions to two dimensional discs containing no planet, that the excitement of the Rossby wave instability and the formation of Rossby vortices play a critical role in setting the equilibrium depth of the gap. Being a two dimensional instability, this is absent from one dimensional simulations and does not limit the equilibrium gap depth there. We find similar gap depths between two dimensional gaps formed by torque density distributions, in which the Rossby wave instability is present, and two dimensional planet gaps, in which no Rossby wave instability is present. This can be understood if the planet gap is maintained at marginal stability, even when there is no obvious Rossby wave instability present. Further investigation shows the final equilibrium gap depth is very sensitive to the form of the applied torque density distribution, and using improved one dimensional approximations from three dimensional simulations can go even further to reducing the discrepancy between one and two dimensional models, especially for lower mass planets. This behaviour is found to be consistent across discs with varying parameters.

description: Purpose: A corpus of English matrix sentences produced by 60 native and nonnative speakers of English was developed as part of a multinational coalition task group. This corpus was tested on a large cohort of U.S. Service members in order to examine the effects of talker nativeness, listener nativeness, masker type, and hearing sensitivity on speech recognition performance in this population.Method: A total of 1,939 U.S. Service members (ages 18–68 years) completed this closed-set listening task, including 430 women and 110 nonnative English speakers. Stimuli were produced by native and nonnative speakers of English and were presented in speech-shaped noise and multitalker babble. Keyword recognition accuracy and response times were analyzed.Results: General(ized) linear mixed-effects regression models found that, on the whole, speech recognition performance was lower for listeners who identified as nonnative speakers of English and when listening to speech produced by nonnative speakers of English. Talker and listener effects were more pronounced when listening in a babble masker than in a speech-shaped noise masker. Response times varied as a function of recognition score, with longest response times found for intermediate levels of performance.Conclusions: This study found additive effects of talker and listener nonnativeness when listening to speech in background noise. These effects were present in both accuracy and response time measures. No multiplicative effects of talker and listener language background were found. There was little evidence of a negative interaction between talker nonnativeness and hearing impairment, suggesting that these factors may have redundant effects on speech recognition.Supplemental Material S1.
