description: The level of challenge in stroke rehabilitation has to be carefully chosen to keep the patient engaged and motivated while not frustrating them. This paper presents a simulation where this level of challenge is automatically optimized using iterative learning control. An iterative learning controller provides a simulated stroke patient with a target task that the patient then learns to execute. Based on the error between the target task and the execution, the controller adjusts the difficulty of the target task for the next trial. The patient is simulated by a nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs to mimic their sensorimotor system and a second-order model to approximate their elbow joint dynamics. The results of the simulations show that the rehabilitation approach proposed in this paper results in more difficult tasks and a smoother difficulty progression as compared to a rehabilitation approach where the difficulty of the target task is updated according to a threshold.

Για το σκοπό αυτό συλλέχθηκαν και εξετάστηκαν, με παρασιτολογικές, ορολογικές και μοριακές εξετάσεις, δείγματα από 100 τρωκτικά, 393 κουνέλια, 90 λαγούς και 200 μίνκ, όπου ανευρέθηκαν στις ορολογικές εξετάσεις, μολυσμένα τρωκτικά σε ποσοστό 51,06%, κουνέλια σε ποσοστό 7,63%, λαγοί σε ποσοστό 6,67% και μίνκ 20,00% και αντίστοιχα στις μοριακές εξετάσεις τρωκτικά σε ποσοστό 19%, κουνέλια 2,59%, λαγοί 3,57% και μίνκ 2,11%. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα, θα μπορούσε να υποστηριχθεί ότι, τα τρωκτικά πιθανά έχουν ρόλο δευτερεύοντα ξενιστή των παρασίτων Leishmania spp. στην Ελλάδα, ενώ τα λαγόμορφα και τα μίνκ, πιθανά έχουν μικρό ρόλο στην επιδημιολογία του νοσήματος.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to find the prevalence of infection in other animals, apart from dogs, that could participate in the preservation of the parasites in nature and to study possible risk factors associsiated with that infection. In that context, 100 rodents, 393 wild and domestic rabbits, 90 hares and 200 minks were collected and examined under parasitological, serological and molecular methods, in which serology revealed infected rodents up to 51.06%, rabbits up to 7.63%, hares up to 6.67% and minks up to 20.00% when molecular examinations, revealed infected rodents up to 19%, rabbits 2.59%, hares 3.57% and minks 2.11%. Based on the results of this survey, it could be assumed that rodents can possibly have a role as a secondary host for the parasites in Greece and that lagomorphs and minks have probably are less significan in the epidemiology of leshmaniosis.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The effects of abiotic and biotic processes on recruitment of Central Baltic cod has been studied in an EU funded interdisciplinary research project, integrating 13 institutes from 8 countries bordering the Baltic Sea. The project provides a contribution to the GLOBEC Cod and Climate Change Programme. For statistical trend analysis, extensive time series of stock related information and environmental data have been intercalibrated and (re-)constructed. They also formed the basis for major process analysis and modelling activities. Investigations on processes affecting the maturation, distribution and structure of the spawning stock, individual fecundity and viabillty of the offspring revealed a clear picture of the temporal and spatial variation in the reproductive potential of Baltic cod. Since the mid 1980s recruitment has been dependent on the reproductive success in the Bomholm Basin, while the stock component in the Gotland Basin is close to extinction.
The use of a radioiodinated fatty acid analogue in the study of myocardial ischemia and infarction
Creators: name: Hudon, Marck P.J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to utilize 15-p-¹²³I-phenylpenta-decanoic acid (¹²³IPPA) and 15-p-12 3I-β-methyl iodophenylpentadecanoic acid (B¹²³IPPA) in the assessment of myocardial metabolism and perfusion following ischemia and infarction. Canine models of global ischemia, regional ischemia and infarction were used. Time-activity curve analysis was performed on the first two models using 15-p-¹²³I-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid to determine changes in metabolic status of the myocardium. Reported are the half-life values ± SD. B¹²³IPPA, ²⁰¹Tl and a histochemical method (tetrazolium staining) were used in the latter model to assess perfusion defects, including ischemic risk zone. Significant differences in the elimination rate (mins) of ¹²³IPPA metabolic by-products for the early and late phases of the time-activity curves of the global ischemia model in the lateral wall (early and late phase) and apical wall (late phase) were observed with Iso-osmolar (Tyers) solution. There were no significant differences for either the Iso-osmolar + superoxide dismutase (SOD) or Iso-osmolar + allopurinol. Also there was no significant difference in t½ values between the three areas of the left ventricle (apex, septal wall and lateral wall) within the control group. Results with the regional ischemia model indicate an increase in early phase t½ values representing ¹²³IPPA washout, between control and 14 days post-operative animals in both the lateral wall (22±10 to 60±107 min -p>0.05) and the apical wall (23±10 to 37±33 min - p>0.05) and a decrease in ¹²³IPPA washout in the septal wall (22±14 to 14±7 min - p>0.05). An increase in t½ between control and 14 days was seen in the late phase post-operatively in the lateral wall (34±12 to 71±50 min - p>0.05), the apex (44±8 to 115±104 min - p>0.05) and the septal wall (34±2 to 626±1325 min -p>0.05). The results of the myocardial infarction model indicated a greater degree of correlation between the size of perfusion defects estimated by a histochemical method (TTZ staining) vs. B¹²³IPPA (r = 0.65, p<0.005), than vs. ²⁰¹Tl (r = 0.49, p<0.005). The following conclusions can be made on the basis of the results obtained. The utilization of iodinated free fatty acids within each area of the left ventricle (lateral wall, apical wall and septal wall) demonstrate similar rates of ¹²³IPPA washout. The effect of reversible global ischemia on myocardial washout of 15-¹²³IPPA may be modified by the addition of SOD or allopurinol to the control iso-osmolar cardioplegic solution. The imaging agent ¹²³IPPA may be a useful indicator of metabolic status of the myocardium, revealing changes in washout rates during the period of developing regional ischemia. Lastly, the utilization of B¹²³IPPA does not appear to be effective in determining the size of perfusion defects, or in identifying the ischemic risk zone because of border demarcation problems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fjord plumes accumulate to form the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) that due to geostrophic forcing runs northwards on the Norwegian shelf. Three monthly cruises across the NCC from mid June to late August 1997 have identified its frontal system as a spawning habitat for Ca/anus finmarchicus during summer. By continuous in situ recording of salinity, temperature, and fluorescence in seawater pumped from 3.5 m depth into a deck-mounted logger, the cross-sectional physical structures of the system have been studied. To record the stage abundance of C. finmarchicus across the NCC, vertical plankton tows from bottom to surface and double oblique plankton tows in the 40-0 m depth range were made at 10 n. mile intervals while nauplii were sampled from the filtering device. Vertical in situ fluorescence and CTD profiles were recorded at the same stations. The fluorescence was low at the surface but peaked below the pycnocline at all stations and periods. Density instabilities in the fluorescence peak depth indicate that dynamic processes fed Atlantic water into the production layer where the algae probably optimized their growth in relation to light and nutrients. In a steady state with no wind, female C. finmarchicus and recruit spawners were numerous in and outside the NCC front. The production of nauplii stage I-II seemed to occur there, but nauplii stage III-VI had accumulated in the coastal water itself. Where NE wind caused upwelling, the nauplii became mixed into the coastal water and transported seawards, outside the upwelling area. The naupliar production occurred over an extended period during summer, peaking during the run-off of melted snow and ice in July. The results indicate that the C. finmarchicus generation that produces nauplii being the staple prey of first-feeding larvae of NE Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) in the spring of each particular year, may be produced during the summer of the previous year, in an organismic system established in the frontal area of the NCC. Thus, it supports a theory that explains the observed positive correlations between river flow and recruitment to the NE Arctic cod stock with one year lag, and between river flow and landings of immature cod with a lag of three years.
Magnetism in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946: magnetic arms, depolarization rings, dynamo modes and helical fields

description: The spiral galaxy NGC 6946 was observed in total intensity and linear polarization in five radio bands between 3cm and 21cm. At the inner edge of the inner gas spiral arm the ordered magnetic field is only mildly compressed and turns smoothly, to become aligned along the gas arm. Hence the field is not shocked and is probably connected to the warm, diffuse gas. At larger radii, two bright magnetic arms between the optical arms are visible in polarized intensity. The field in the northern magnetic arm is almost totally aligned. Faraday rotation measures (RM) in these arms are consistent with the superposition of two low azimuthal dynamo modes. Three more magnetic arms are discovered in the outer galaxy, located between HI arms. Due to strong Faraday depolarization the galaxy is not transparent to polarized waves at 18cm and 20cm. The large-scale asymmetry in depolarization with respect to the major axis may be another indication of large-scale helical fields. Three depolarization rings of almost zero polarization seen at 20cm are probably generated by differential Faraday rotation in HII complexes in NGC 6946 of 300-500 pc size. - In the gas/optical spiral arms, the total (mostly turbulent) magnetic field is amplified to \simeq 20\muG. Its energy density is \simeq 10 times larger than that of the ionized gas and is similar to that of the turbulent gas motions in the inner galaxy. The magnetic energy exceeds that of the turbulent energy in the outer galaxy.

description: Results. We illustrate our profile-fitting technique and present the K\,{\sc i} velocity structure of the dense ISM along the paths to all targets. As a validation test of the dust map, we show comparisons between distances to several reconstructed clouds with recent distance assignments based on different techniques. Target star extinctions estimated by integration in the 3D map are compared with their K\,{\sc i} 7699 A absorptions and the degree of correlation is found comparable to the one between the same K\,{\sc i} line and the total hydrogen column for stars distributed over the sky that are part of a published high resolution survey. We show images of the updated dust distribution in a series of vertical planes in the Galactic longitude interval 150-182.5 deg and our estimated assignments of radial velocities to the opaque regions. Most clearly defined K\,{\sc i} absorptions may be assigned to a dense dust cloud between the Sun and the target star. It appeared relatively straightforward to find a velocity pattern consistent will all absorptions and ensuring coherence between adjacent lines of sight, at the exception of a few weak lines. We compare our results with recent determinations of velocities of several clouds and find good agreement. These results demonstrate that the extinction-K\,{\sc i} relationship is tight enough to allow linking the radial velocity of the K\,{\sc i} lines to the dust clouds seen in 3D, and that their combination may be a valuable tool in building a 3D kinetic structure of the dense ISM. We discuss limitations and perspectives for this technique.

description: A mechanism for the formation of a new type of stationary state with macroscopical number of phonons in condensed atomic gases is proposed. This mechanism is based on generating longitudinal phonons as a result of parametric resonance caused by a permanent modulation of the transverse trap frequency in an elongated trap. The phonon-phonon interaction predetermines the self-consistent evolution which is completed with macroscopic population of one from all levels within the energy interval of parametric amplification. This level proves to be shifted to the edge of this interval. All other levels end the evolution with zero population.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The year class strength of the Iberian sardine is regulated by hydroclimatic conditions in the North Atlantic. The low recruitment values of recent years have been caused by reduction of the reproductive stock. The reproductive strategy of the sardine,with autumn and spring spawning seasons, produces two recruitment periods each year. This reproductive strategy is adapted to the oceanographic regime in the area, with coastal upwelling between April and September, and a northerly surface coastal current in winter. Variations in the intensity and timing of the winter current affect the success of the autumn spawning and can lead to recruitment failure at the end of spring. Variations in the intensity and timing of the northerly wind component, which generates upwelling, control the success of spring spawning. On the basis of oceanographic data and yearly recruitment from 1975 to 1997, we try to analyze the recruitment variability induced by the marine climate to the Iberian sardine stock

description: We show that the spin-current response of a semiconductor crystal to an external electric field is considerably more complex than previously assumed. While in systems of high symmetry only the spin-Hall components are allowed, in systems of lower symmetry other non-spin-Hall components may be present. We argue that, when spin-orbit interactions are present only in the band structure, the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the spin current is not useful. We show that the generation of spin currents and that of spin densities in an electric field are closely related, and that our general theory provides a systematic way to distinguish between them in experiment. We discuss also the meaning of vertex corrections in systems with spin-orbit interactions.

description: We study the constraints imposed by perturbative unitarity on the new physics interpretation of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. Within a Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) approach, we find that scattering amplitudes sourced by effective operators saturate perturbative unitarity at about 1 PeV. This corresponds to the highest energy scale that needs to be probed in order to resolve the new physics origin of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. On the other hand, simplified models (e.g.~scalar-fermion Yukawa theories) in which renormalizable couplings are pushed to the boundary of perturbativity still imply new on-shell states below 200 TeV. We finally suggest that the highest new physics scale responsible for the anomalous effect can be reached in non-renormalizable models at the PeV scale.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Diet of Merluccius hubbsi first-feeding larvae was analysed, and related to food availability in stratified waters of the Patagonian spawning area. Gut contents of small larvae ranging from 2 to 4.5 mm SL, collected from five consecutive depth strata (upper 50 m), were examined. After dissection, prey items were stained with tolouidine blue. Feeding incidence, type, size and number of food particles per larvae were determinated. Mean feeding incidence was 64.5 %. Food particles 45-136 µm in width constituted the bulk of ingested prey, represented by nauplii and early copepodite stages of the small copepod species frequently found in the sampling area. Among them, the most abundant in gut contents were Paracalanus parvus, Oithona spp. and members of Pseudocalanidae. The mean number of nauplii per larva was 4.4 times higher than it was of copepodite stages but the volumetric ratio between those food item was 1.4:1, respectively. Results from larval gut analysis were related to zooplankton distribution in the field. First-feeding strategies of hake and anchovy larvae growing in the area were compared.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the behaviour of holomorhic functions, with respect to some geometric characteristics. We initially present a result regarding the equality case in the elliptic symmetrization of condensers. This result is used to prove a new monotonicity result about elliptic areas. We then study semigroups of holomorphic self maps of the unit disk with respect to the slope with which their orbits aproach the border. We prove that this can attain all allowed values.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This study discusses the influence of different water masses, phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass on the distribution and abundance of Illex argentinus paralarvae off southern Brazil (28°09'S-34°20'S). During four surveys carried out from 1987 to 1991, a total of 428 paralarvae were collected with a bongo net (0.33 mm mesh size) in 203 tows. Paralarvae were found from autumn to spring, but were absent in summer and in regions of major influence of coastal and subantarctic waters. The greatest relative abundance ( 41 paralarvae 100 m-3) was found in spring of 1987. Paralarvae were mainly distributed along a shelf-break front formed between tropical waters of the Brazil Current and subantarctic waters of the Malvinas/Falkland Current were partial upwelling processes and planktonic enrichment were found. From the slope to the coast, there was a clear progression of paralarval sizes. Hatchling occurred at the outer shelf and slope in tropical and/or subtropical waters. The largest paralarvae and small juveniles were found at the inner shelf under the influence of subantarctic waters, where high concentrations of chlorophyll-a and zooplankton biomass were measured.

description: With the increased interest in machine learning and big data problems, the need for large amounts of labelled data has also grown. However, it is often infeasible to get experts to label all of this data, which leads many practitioners to crowdsourcing solutions. In this paper, we present new techniques to improve the quality of the labels while attempting to reduce the cost. The naive approach to assigning labels is to adopt a majority vote method, however, in the context of data labelling, this is not always ideal as data labellers are not equally reliable. One might, instead, give higher priority to certain labellers through some kind of weighted vote based on past performance. This paper investigates the use of more sophisticated methods, such as Bayesian inference, to measure the performance of the labellers as well as the confidence of each label. The methods we propose follow an iterative improvement algorithm which attempts to use the least amount of workers necessary to achieve the desired confidence in the inferred label. This paper explores simulated binary classification problems with simulated workers and questions to test the proposed methods. Our methods outperform the standard voting methods in both cost and accuracy while maintaining higher reliability when there is disagreement within the crowd.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Transport process of pelagic eggs and larvae of brown sole (Pleuronectes herzensteini) from the spawning ground were explored using an Euler-Lagrangian numerical model. One of the major spawning grounds of brown sole in the Sea of Japan is located on the shelf region near the Sada Strait. Pelagic eggs and larvae are transported from the spawning ground toward the north-northeast by coastal currents, and some avoiding the dispersion to the offshore successfully get to the coastal nurseries before they start to settle down to the bottom. The success or failure of the transport could determine the year-class strength of the brown sole population. The current in and around the Sado Strait is under the influence of Tsushima Warm Current, and north-northeastward currents are predominant along the shelf. It has been revealed from ADCP measurements conducted in the main spawning period (March-April) that the current velocity along the shelf is much greater than that on the shelf, and that coastal eddies often appear in the wake region on the shelf. The strength of the eddies is rather variable, possibly corresponding to the variations in the Tsushima Warm Current. The numerical simulations, on the other hand, show that wind-induced onshore/offshore drifts, in combination with vertical movement of eggs and larvae, could play a significant role in egg and larval retention within the coastal nurseries. For successfully being trapped into the coastal eddies and retained within the wake region, it is needed for eggs and larvae to migrate upward into the layer of onshore drift at the earlier phase of the transport. The variability of the recruitment of brown sole population is also discussed in relation to year to year variations in the wind and strength of coastal eddies.
Financial analysis of a potential scallop culture operation in British Columbia

description: A financial model, developed in ASEASY AS spreadsheet software for application in shellfish aquaculture, is used to evaluate the profitability of culturing certain scallops in B.C. Growth and survival data are obtained from a project which cultured mixed populations of rock scallops (Hinnites multiruqosis), pink scallops (Chlamys rubida), and spiny scallops (Ci. hericia) . Cost data is derived from accounts of Japanese scallop culture and from examples of oyster long line culture in B.C. Product prices are estimated from Vancouver sales of fishery caught Chlamys and of east coast fresh adductor muscles. Given the estimated costs and assuming that seed is available, it is concluded that producing whole, live, 5-7 cm Chlamys and Hinnites would be profitable, assuming that Hinnites substitutes for Chlamys in this market segment. Lantern net culture, slightly more profitable than pearl net and ear hanging methods, exhibits an average annual net profit during years four and five of $72,192, based on production from one million seed per year, but the net present value is lower than that achieved by investing funds at 10% per year (compounded quarterly) for seven years. A 20% increase in selling price to $0.26/scallop results in an annual net profit greater than $100,000 for lantern net production of whole, 5-7 cm scallops, while the break even price is projected to be $0.13/scallop. Significant improvement in financial performance can be achieved by reducing labour cost, which is 33% of total costs for lantern net culture. However, doubling labour cost still does not reduce the net profit to zero. Increasing the growth rate by 175%, to approximately that of the Japanese weathervane scallop, increases the average annual profit from producing whole, 5-7 cm scallops, to $88,963. It is concluded that marketing the shucked meats of the mixed population of Chlamys and Hinnites from the above project is not profitable. From the limited data available, production of faster growing, 8-9 cm rock scallops for shucking is not profitable unless a price equivalent to $0.18/scallop is achieved. Production of 10-11 cm weathervane scallops for shucking is projected to provide a net profit of $36,981, but further delineation of financial feasibility must await data from ongoing culture projects.

description: When immersed into a fluid of active Brownian particles, passive bodies might start to undergo linear or angular directed motion depending on their shape. Here we exploit the divergence theorem to relate the forces responsible for this motion to the density and current induced by--but far away from--the body. In general, the force is composed of two contributions: due to the strength of the dipolar field component and due to particles leaving the boundary, generating a non-vanishing vorticity of the polarization. We derive and numerically corroborate results for periodic systems, which are fundamentally different from unbounded systems with forces that scale with the area of the system. We demonstrate that vorticity is localized close to the body and to points at which the local curvature changes, enabling the rational design of particle shapes with desired propulsion properties.

description: Reconfigurable optical systems are the object of continuing, intensive research activities, as they hold great promise for realizing a new generation of compact, miniaturized, and flexible optical devices. However, current reconfigurable systems often tune only a single state variable triggered by an external stimulus, thus, leaving out many potential applications. Here we demonstrate a reconfigurable multistate optical system enabled by phase transitions in vanadium dioxide (VO2). By controlling the phase-transition characteristics of VO2 with simultaneous stimuli, the responses of the optical system can be reconfigured among multiple states. In particular, we show a quadruple-state dynamic plasmonic display that responds to both temperature tuning and hydrogen-doping. Furthermore, we introduce an electron-doping scheme to locally control the phase-transition behavior of VO2, enabling an optical encryption device encoded by multiple keys. Our work points the way toward advanced multistate reconfigurable optical systems, which substantially outperform current optical devices in both breadth of capabilities and functionalities.

description: The determination of a patient's DNA sequence can, in principle, reveal an increased risk to fall ill with particular diseases [1,2] and help to design "personalized medicine" [3]. Moreover, statistical studies and comparison of genomes [4] of a large number of individuals are crucial for the analysis of mutations [5] and hereditary diseases, paving the way to preventive medicine [6]. DNA sequencing is, however, currently still a vastly time-consuming and very expensive task [4], consisting of pre-processing steps, the actual sequencing using the Sanger method, and post-processing in the form of data analysis [7]. Here we propose a new approach that relies on functionalized nanopore-embedded electrodes to achieve an unambiguous distinction of the four nucleic acid bases in the DNA sequencing process. This represents a significant improvement over previously studied designs [8,9] which cannot reliably distinguish all four bases of DNA. The transport properties of the setup investigated by us, employing state-of-the-art density functional theory together with the non-equilibrium Green's Function method, leads to current responses that differ by at least one order of magnitude for different bases and can thus provide a much more robust read-out of the base sequence. The implementation of our proposed setup could thus lead to a viable protocol for rapid DNA sequencing with significant consequences for the future of genome related research in particular and health care in general.

description: Στη Χερσόνησο του Αίμου κατά τη διάρκεια του μεσοπολέμου, γεννήθηκαν οι Παμβαλκανικοί Αγώνες, ένα κορυφαίο αθλητικό γεγονός που κατόρθωσε να συγκεράσει αρμονικά τις αλληλοσυγκρουόμενες πολιτικές στα Βαλκάνια και αποτέλεσε παράδειγμα βαλκανικής συνεννόησης. Στο θολό και γεμάτο εντάσεις χώρο των Βαλκανίων όπου οι λαοί φέρουν ανεξίτηλα τα σημάδια ενός ιστορικού παρελθόντος που ταυτόχρονα διχάζει αλλά μπορεί και να ενώσει, η έμπνευση της αθλητικής συνάντησης των Βαλκανικών κρατών ευδοκιμεί υπό τις εύφορες συνθήκες που διαμόρφωσε η εξωτερική πολιτική των χωρών και η σχεδόν ομόθυμη τάση της πολλά υποσχόμενης διαβαλκανικής προσέγγισης. Οι Παμβαλκανικοί Αγώνες διερευνώνται ως παράγοντας συμφιλίωσης και σύσφιξης των διαβαλκανικών σχέσεων μέσα από το ρόλο που διαδραμάτισαν την κρίσιμη δεκαετία του 1930. Το παρελθόν της Βαλκανικής χερσονήσου, οι διπλωματικές σχέσεις των χωρών πριν τη θεσμοθέτηση των Αγώνων, οι οικονομικές και πολιτικές συμφωνίες των κρατών από το 1928 και μετέπειτα, το όραμα της Βαλκανικής Ένωσης, οι Βαλκανικές Συνδιασκέψεις και το Βαλκανικό Σύμφωνο μελετώνται συγκριτικά με τους Παμβαλκανικούς Αγώνες φωτίζοντας την αμφίδρομη σχέση των Αγώνων και της πολιτικής.
description: On the Peninsula of Aimos during the interwar period, the Pan-Balkan Games were born, a top sporting event that managed to harmoniously combine the conflicting policies in the Balkans and became an example of Balkan conciliation. In the turbulent and tense Balkan area, where the people indelibly bear the signs of a historical past that at the same time divides but can also unite, the inspiration of the Balkan states sports meeting thrives under the fertile conditions shaped by the foreign policy of the countries and the almost unanimous trend of the promising inter-Balkan approach. The Pan-Balkan Games are being analyzed as a factor for reconciliation and tightening of inter-Balkan relations through the role they played in the crucial decade of 1930s. The past of the Balkan Peninsula, the diplomatic relations of the countries prior to the institutionalization of the Games, the economic and political agreements of the states in 1928 and beyond, the vision of the Balkan Union, the Balkan Conferences and the Balkan Pact are being studied compared to the Games of the Balkans, so as to illuminate the interrelationship of the Games and the Politics.

description: In strongly correlated materials, lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom interact with each other, leading to emergent physical properties such as superconductivity, colossal magnetic resistance and metal-insulator transition. Quasi-2D square planar nickelates, Rn+1NinO2n+2 (R=rare earth, n=2, 3...), are of significant interest and long sought for cuprate analogue due to the 3d9 electronic configuration of Ni+, the same as the active ion Cu2+ in the high-Tc superconducting cuprates. The field has attracted intense attention since 2019 due to the discovery of superconductivity in thin films of Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2, although no superconductivity has been reported in bulk polycrystalline powders. Herein, we review the synthesis of polycrystalline powders of quasi-2D square planar nickelates through topotactic reduction of parent compounds that are synthesized via solid state reaction, precursor method, high pressure floating zone method and high-pressure flux method. We emphasize single crystal preparation using the high-pressure floating zone techniques. We discuss their crystal structure and physical properties including resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity. We highlight the cuprate-like physics, including charge/spin stripes and large orbital polarization, identified in single crystals of R4Ni3O8 (R=La and Pr) combining synchrotron X-ray/neutron single crystal diffraction and density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, the challenges and possible research directions of this fast-moving field in the future are briefly discussed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Individual-based models (IBM), as an ecological modeling paradigm, are being used widely in the analysis of fish populations in marine ecosystems. The flexibility and power of IBMs with respect to building detailed and realistic biological models have encouraged recent and important extensions which include explicit spatial dynamics and biophysical forcing of certain life stage processes. Unfortunately, the usefulness of individual-based numerical simulation models is often negated by the difficulty in digesting and analyzing their voluminous and complicated output. Scientific visualization tools offer the capability to remedy this problem.
