description: We observed 20 nearby Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) in HI and CO(J=2-1) with the GBT and JCMT. These ~L^star galaxies are blue, high surface brightness, starbursting, high metallicity galaxies with an underlying older stellar population. They are common at z~1, but rare in the local Universe. It has been proposed that intermediate redshift LCBGs may be the progenitors of local dwarf ellipticals or low luminosity spirals, or that they may be more massive disks forming from the center outward to become L^star galaxies. To discriminate among various possible evolutionary scenarios, we have measured the dynamical masses and gas depletion time scales of this sample of nearby LCBGs. We find that local LCBGs span a wide range of dynamical masses, from 4 x 10^9 to 1 x 10^11 M_solar (measured within R_25). Molecular gas in local LCBGs is depleted quite quickly, in 30 to 200 million years. The molecular plus atomic gas is depleted in 30 million to 10 billion years; however, ~80% of the local LCBGs deplete their gas in less than 5 billion years. As LCBGs are heterogeneous in both dynamical mass and gas depletion time scales, they are not likely to evolve into one homogeneous galaxy class.

description: Objective: Three perceptually orthogonal auditory dimensions for multidimensional and multivariate data sonification are identified and experimentally validated. Background: Psychoacoustic investigations have shown that orthogonal acoustical parameters may interfere perceptually. The literature hardly offers any solutions to this problem, and previous auditory display approaches have failed to implement auditory dimensions that are perceived orthogonally by a user. In this study we demonstrate how a location in three-dimensional space can be sonified unambiguously by the implementation of perceptually orthogonal psychoacoustic attributes in monophonic playback. Method: Perceptually orthogonal auditory attributes are identified from literature research and experience in music and psychoacoustic research. We carried out an experiment with 21 participants who identified sonified locations in two-dimensional space. Results: With just 5 minutes of explanation and exploration, naive users can interpret our multidimensional sonification with high accuracy. Conclusion: We identified a set of perceptually orthogonal auditory dimensions suitable for three-dimensional data sonification. Application: Three-dimensional data sonification promises blind navigation, e.g. for unmanned vehicles, and reliable real-time monitoring of multivariate data, e.g., in the patient care sector.

description: The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles is a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective approach that offer significant advantages over conventional methods. In this study, phosphorous nanoparticles (P-NPs) were synthesized biogenically using Serendipita indica and evaluated for their antifungal potential against Aspergillus tubingensis and Aspergillus flavus. The synthesized P-NPs were characterized using multiple techniques including UV–Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning and Transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). UV–Vis spectra revealed a characteristic absorption peak at 359 nm, while zeta potential analysis recorded a value of −0.11 mV. XRD analysis identified distinct structural peaks and SEM and TEM confirmed rod-shaped nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 70 to 88 nm. The antifungal efficacy was assessed using a two-fold serial dilution method, revealing dose-dependent effects. Lower P-NPs concentrations caused conidial malformations, whereas higher concentrations resulted in significant loss of fungal viability. SEM analysis further demonstrated severe morphological damage to fungal hyphae, including ruptured cell membranes, and reduced spore counts. These findings suggest that biogenically synthesized P-NPs are highly effective against Aspergillus spp. and represent a promising eco-friendly alternative to conventional fungicides for sustainable fungal management.

description: While tidal disruption events (TDEs) have long been heralded as laboratories for the study of quiescent black holes, the small number of known TDEs and uncertainties in their emission mechanism have hindered progress towards this promise. Here present 17 new TDEs that have been detected recently by the Zwicky Transient Facility along with Swift UV and X-ray follow-up observations. Our homogeneous analysis of the optical/UV light curves, including 22 previously known TDEs from the literature, reveals a clean separation of light curve properties with spectroscopic class. The TDEs with Bowen fluorescence features in their optical spectra have smaller blackbody radii, as well as longer rise times and higher disruption rates compared to the rest of the sample. The Bowen fluorescence mechanism requires a high density which can be reached at smaller radii, which in turn yields longer diffusion timescales. Thus, the difference in rise times suggests the pre-peak TDE light curves are governed not by the fallback timescale, but instead by the diffusion of photons through the tidal debris. The small subset of TDEs that show only helium emission lines in their spectra have the longest rise times, the highest luminosities and the lowest rates. We also report, for the first time, the detection of soft X-ray flares from a TDE on day timescales. Based on the fact the flares peak at a luminosity similar to the optical/UV blackbody luminosity, we attribute them to brief glimpses through a reprocessing layer that otherwise obscures the inner accretion flow.

description: This study investigated the interactions among process parameters in stirred-media mills to achieve precise control of dissociation parameters for spodumene adaptability. Response surface methodology (RSM) and back propagation (BP) neural network models were employed to predict and optimize the three key process parameters based on the grinding technology efficiency as the evaluation criterion. The order of significance of the parameters affecting the grinding efficiency was as follows: grinding time > media filling rate > stirrer speed. The optimal grinding parameters were identified as a media-filling rate of 52%, stirrer speed of 506 rpm, and grinding time of 3 min. Under these conditions, the RSM model achieved an R2 value of 0.9509, relative error of 13.15%, mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0011, and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0276. Conversely, the BP neural network model achieved a higher R2 value of 0.9950, a relative error of 4.77%, MSE of 0.0003, and MAE of 0.0091. Although the RSM model effectively optimized the grinding process parameters, the BP neural network model exhibited superior fitting performance and accuracy in predicting the grinding efficiency under varying process parameters. This study provides valuable technical insights for optimizing process parameters in the grinding dissociation process.

description: The dynamics of the transverse magnetization in the zero-temperature XX chain is studied with emphasis on fronts emerging from steplike initial magnetization profiles. The fronts move with fixed velocity and display a staircase like internal structure whose dynamic scaling is explored both analytically and numerically. The front region is found to spread with time sub-diffusively with the height and the width of the staircase steps scaling as t^(-1/3) and t^1/3, respectively. The areas under the steps are independent of time, thus the magnetization relaxes in quantized "steps" of spin-flips.

The relationship between patriotism and regional identification: a cross-country analysis
Creators: name: Dirksmeier, Peter
Publisher: name: Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Dewey Decimal Classification::500 | Naturwissenschaften

description: Patriotism—as an ambivalent attitude towards the nation—has less exclusionary characteristics than nationalism and regional identification, because it does not require comparisons and hierarchies. What is less clear, however, is how to explain the positive evaluation of patriotism in the wider population. The article analyses the positive relationship of patriotism with nationalism and regional identification in 29 national and 421 regional contexts. The paper clearly shows that different factors explain the positive evaluation of patriotism and the mind-set of patriotism itself. While a nationalist attitude and regional identification at the individual level are strongly associated with a positive evaluation of patriotism and patriotism itself, institutionalised forms of regional autonomy are shown to be insignificant for the evaluation of patriotism and ambivalent for patriotism itself at the context level. The article concludes by discussing these results in the context of a Janus-faced nature of regional identification that can contribute to an inclusive society as much as to a nationalist-chauvinist attitude and which has so far been overlooked in regional science.

description: In citizen science (CS) projects, citizens who are not professional scientists participate in scientific research. Besides serving research purposes, CS projects provide participants opportunities for inquiry-based learning to promote their topic-specific knowledge and scientific reasoning skills. Previous research suggests that participants need scientific reasoning skills to engage in scientific activities and to learn from inquiry in CS projects. Participants' scientific reasoning skills, therefore, might enhance the resulting topic-specific knowledge at the end of a CS project. On the other hand, scientific reasoning skills themselves are a learning outcome of CS projects. Hence, they might play a double role in CS projects: as a learning outcome and as a prerequisite for acquiring knowledge. In the informal education context of CS, it has not yet been investigated whether scientific reasoning skills predict topic-specific knowledge or vice versa. To address this question, the research presented here used a cross-lagged panel design in two longitudinal field studies of a CS project on urban wildlife ecology (N = 144 participants). The results indicated that participants' scientific reasoning skills positively influenced their topic-specific knowledge at the end of the project, but not vice versa. Extending previous research on individual learning outcomes of CS projects, the results showed that inquiry-based learning in CS projects depends on certain prerequisites, such as participants' proficiency in scientific reasoning. We discuss the implications for future research on inquiry-based learning in CS projects and for further training of CS participants in acquiring scientific reasoning skills.

The 3-D ionization structure and evolution of NGC 7009 (Saturn Nebula)

description: Tomographic and 3-D analyses for extended, emission-line objects are applied to long-slit ESO NTT + EMMI high-resolution spectra of the intriguing planetary nebula NGC 7009, covered at twelve position angles. We derive the gas expansion law, the diagnostics and ionic radial profiles, the distance and the central star parameters, the nebular photo-ionization model and the spatial recovery of the plasma structure and evolution. The Saturn Nebula (distance~1.4 kpc, age~6000 yr, ionized mass~0.18 Mo) consists of several interconnected components, characterized by different morphology, physical conditions, excitation and kinematics. The internal shell, the main shell, the streams and the ansae expand at V(exp)~4.0xR" km/s, the outer shell, the caps and the equatorial pseudo-ring at V(exp)~3.15xR" km/s, and the halo at V(exp)~10 km/s. We compare the radial distribution of the physical conditions and the line fluxes observed in the eight sub-systems with the theoretical profiles coming from the photo-ionization code CLOUDY, inferring that all the spectral characteristics of NGC 7009 are explainable in terms of photo-ionization by the central star, a hot (logT*~4.95) and luminous (log L*/Lo~3.70) 0.60--0.61 Mo post--AGB star in the hydrogen-shell nuclear burning phase. The 3--D shaping of the Saturn Nebula is discussed within an evolutionary scenario dominated by photo-ionization and supported by the fast stellar wind: it begins with the superwind ejection, passes through the neutral, transition phase (lasting ~ 3000 yr), the ionization start (occurred ~2000 yr ago), and the full ionization of the main shell (~1000 yr ago), at last reaching the present days: the whole nebula is optically thin to the UV stellar flux, except the caps and the ansae.

description: In image morphing, a sequence of plausible frames are synthesized and composited together to form a smooth transformation between given instances. Intermediates must remain faithful to the input, stand on their own as members of the set, and maintain a well-paced visual transition from one to the next. In this paper, we propose a conditional GAN morphing framework operating on a pair of input images. The network is trained to synthesize frames corresponding to temporal samples along the transformation, and learns a proper shape prior that enhances the plausibility of intermediate frames. While individual frame plausibility is boosted by the adversarial setup, a special training protocol producing sequences of frames, combined with a perceptual similarity loss, promote smooth transformation over time. Explicit stating of correspondences is replaced with a grid-based freeform deformation spatial transformer that predicts the geometric warp between the inputs, instituting the smooth geometric effect by bringing the shapes into an initial alignment. We provide comparisons to classic as well as latent space morphing techniques, and demonstrate that, given a set of images for self-supervision, our network learns to generate visually pleasing morphing effects featuring believable in-betweens, with robustness to changes in shape and texture, requiring no correspondence annotation.

description: In this study, bovine collagen peptide (BCP) decorated selenium nanoparticles (BCP-SeNPs) were prepared using BCP as a protective and reducing agent, and their structure, hypolipidemic and antitumor activities were investigated. The results of the various techniques including dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of BCP-SeNP. The polydispersity index (PDI) and ζ-potential analysis displayed that the PDI of BCP-SeNPs was about 0.12, smaller than BCP. The ζ-potential absolute value of BCP-SeNPs was found to be 34.2 mV, higher than BCP, suggesting that the stability of the BCP-SeNPs was better than BCP. Hypolipidemic performance evaluation indicated that binding capacity of BCP-SeNPs to bile salts was the highest when its concentration was 0.3 mM, and significantly higher than bare SeNPs, bovine serum albumin decorated SeNPs (BSA-SeNPs), and hyaluronic acid decorated SeNPs (HA-SeNPs). Moreover, the viability of HepG2 cells after BCP-SeNPs treatment was only 22.95%, which was considerably lower than that of bare SeNPs, BSA-SeNPs, and HA-SeNPs, showing better antitumor activity. These findings are expected to provide novel active ingredients that can be employed as functional foods and drugs.

description: Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are common side-effects of second-generation antipsychotics (SGA), that can negatively impact patient quality-of-life, and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study examined the incidence and burden of EPS in patients with schizophrenia initiating SGAs. Patients with schizophrenia initiating SGAs were identified in the MarketScan Multi-state Medicaid database from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2018. Incidence of EPS (identified via ICD-9/ICD-10 diagnoses and medications) was assessed during the 12-months following SGA initiation. Cohorts with and without EPS were defined. Multivariate models were used to examine all-cause and schizophrenia-related hospitalizations and total costs in the 12 months following the first EPS claim (EPS) or randomly assigned index date (Non-EPS) while controlling for multiple baseline covariates. Logistic regression was used for hospitalization and two-part models were used for skewed cost data. A total of 11,642 patients with schizophrenia filled a prescription for an SGA; of which, 2,468 (21.2%) experienced EPS in the first year. The age- and gender-matched EPS group and non-EPS group included 2,295 and 5,607 patients, respectively. Multivariate analyses confirmed that EPS patients had 25% higher odds of all-cause (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.11–1.40) and 75% increased odds of schizophrenia-related (OR = 1.75; 95% CI = 1.53–2.00) inpatient admissions compared to non-EPS patients. Multivariate adjustment of post-period costs between groups also found significant differences in both all-cause (EPS: $27,408 vs. non-EPS: $22,489, p p Over one-fifth of patients initiating treatment with atypical antipsychotics in this study developed EPS in the 12 months following SGA initiation. Extrapyramidal side-effects associated with atypical antipsychotics increase the risk of hospitalization and contribute to higher healthcare costs. For patients with schizophrenia, treatment options that minimize the risk of EPS may reduce the economic burden associated with the disease.

description: We construct higher dimensional quantum Hall systems based on fuzzy spheres. It is shown that fuzzy spheres are realized as spheres in colored monopole backgrounds. The space noncommutativity is related to higher spins which is originated from the internal structure of fuzzy spheres. In $2k$-dimensional quantum Hall systems, Laughlin-like wave function supports fractionally charged excitations, $q=m^{-{1/2}k(k+1)}$ (m is odd). Topological objects are ($2k-2$)-branes whose statistics are determined by the linking number related to the general Hopf map. Higher dimensional quantum Hall systems exhibit a dimensional hierarchy, where lower dimensional branes condense to make higher dimensional incompressible liquid.

description: We propose to discriminate chiral molecules by combining one- and two-photon processes in a closed-loop configuration. The one-photon-coupling intrinsic π-phase difference between two enantiomers leads to their different superposition states, which is then followed by a two-photon process through three-mode parallel paths (3MPPs), enabling the discrimination of enantiomers by inducing their entirely-different population distributions. The 3MPPs are constructed by "chosen paths", a method of shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA), exhibiting a fast two-photon process. As an example, we propose to perform the scheme in 1, 2-propanediol molecules, which shows relatively robust and highly-efficient results under considering the experimental issues concerning unwanted transitions, imperfect initial state, pulse shaping, control errors and the effect of energy relaxations. The present work may provide help for laboratory researchers in a robust separation of chiral molecules.

description: We construct deformed, T^2 wrapped, rotating M2-branes on a resolved cone over Q^{1,1,1} and Q^{1,1,1}/Z_2, as well as on a product of two Eguchi-Hanson instantons. All worldvolume directions of these supersymmetric and regular solutions are fibred over the transverse space. These constitute gravity duals of D=3, N=2 gauge theories. In particular, the deformed M2-brane on a resolved cone over Q^{1,1,1} and the S^1 wrapped M2-brane on a resolved cone over Q^{1,1,1}/Z_2 provide explicit realizations of holographic renormalization group flows in M-theory for which both conformal and Lorentz symmetries are broken in the IR region and restored in the UV limit. These solutions can be dualized to supersymmetric type IIB pp-waves, which are rendered non-singular either by additional flux or a twisted time-like direction.

description: The research focuses on the comprehensive excavation face of Xida Lane in a coal mine belonging to Lu’an Group in Shanxi Province. A comprehensive research approach, combining theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and field measurement, is employed. A new dust isolation and collection device is utilized, along with a ventilation mode that combines upper and lower cylinders. A simulation model is established for the air curtain ventilation system formed by rectangular air outlet, studying the airflow and dust field of the comprehensive excavation face. The findings indicate that when high-speed airflow is injected from the rectangular air outlet, an air curtain forms in front of the comprehensive excavator operator. The majority of the dust generated during excavation is effectively controlled within a specific area, primarily between x = 0 m, x = 1 m, x = 2 m. With increasing distance from the comprehensive excavation face, the concentration of dust in the roadway gradually decreases. At the coordinates of comprehensive excavator operator (x = 5 m, y = 1.5 m, z = 0.4 m), the dust concentration has been successfully reduced to 9.31 mg/m³. This level meets the coal mine safety regulations, which mandate that dust concentrations remain below 10 mg/m³.

 Echoing a global trend, for every 33 persons in Taiwan, there is one contracted guest worker from Southeast Asia. These residents seek to build a better future by working abroad to send money back home, but their stay is dependent on continuous labor in strenuous, less-desirable occupations, and compliance with varying levels of exploitation. In parallel, industry actors, nonprofits, governments, and individuals alike across the globe are employing digital technologies in services aimed at supporting migrant workers. From judicial case databases to compliance reporting to work shift trackers to strategic messaging, there is a broad range of digital services.
 To understand the potential of digital services for migrant workers in Taiwan, this study used an action research approach. In the first actions, knowledge of Filipino migrant worker (OFW) needs and service providers in Taiwan was gathered through interviews and observations. Driven by financial and cultural pressures, many OFWs take on tiring extra work and are dissatisfied with conditions. Meanwhile, social media and an up-and-coming vlogging scene reveal a thriving community making the best of their little free time. Later, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragile contexts of OFW support systems and reiterated the urgent need for digital services and quality information systems.
 In the second grouping of actions, digital services for migrant workers in Taiwan were considered. The Taiwanese government's Information Site of Foreign Worker Rights Defence (Portal) was selected for further analysis through heuristic markup. The issues of the Portal and its integration in the service journey provided targets for following actions.
 During the final phase, a user interface (UI) prototype of the Portal was created in response to selected issues. A usability testing session with OFW participants provided feedback: the homepage feed was intuitive, navigation was worse, and the FAQ section most exciting. However, more importantly, the results verified the need for fixing the other untargeted points in the service journey.
 In the conclusion, final suggestions for the Portal digital service were made, and the results contextualized in relation to the overall situations of migrant workers in Taiwan.

description: This issue of the Annual Supplement to the Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States introduces a new method of preparing and presenting U.S. trade data. Also, we are using a different color scheme for these issues to distin¬ guish them from the regular monthly publications. Statistics were tabulated by automatic data processing and printed out in photocopy for reproduction. Although changeover to machine processing has delayed this issue, the method is designed to increase the timeliness of future publications and increase the coverage and presentation of the data through more complete commodity and country tabulations. As with all new procedures, automatic data processing involves some changes in methods and data classifications. One outstanding feature of the present pub¬ lication is the use of the "Standard International Trade Classification" (SITC) scheme of the United Nations to classify the various commodity groups. This scheme was adopted to increase the comparability of U.S. trade data with other trade statistics published by various international organizations. Some of these changes are discussed in the SPECIAL NOTICE section of this publication.

Microplastic ingestion affects hydrogen production and microbiomes in the gut of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber

description: Microplastic (MP) is an environmental burden and enters food webs via ingestion by macrofauna, including isopods (Porcellio scaber) in terrestrial ecosystems. Isopods represent ubiquitously abundant, ecologically important detritivores. However, MP-polymer specific effects on the host and its gut microbiota are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that biodegradable (polylactic acid [PLA]) and non-biodegradable (polyethylene terephthalate [PET]; polystyrene [PS]) MPs have contrasting effects on P. scaber mediated by changes of the gut microbiota. The isopod fitness after an 8-week MP-exposure was generally unaffected, although the isopods showed avoidance behaviour to PS-food. MP-polymer specific effects on gut microbes were detected, including a stimulation of microbial activity by PLA compared with MP-free controls. PLA stimulated hydrogen emission from isopod guts, while PET and PS were inhibitory. We roughly estimated 107 kg year−1 hydrogen emitted from the isopods globally and identified their guts as anoxic, significant mobile sources of reductant for soil microbes despite the absence of classical obligate anaerobes, likely due to Enterobacteriaceae-related fermentation activities that were stimulated by lactate generated during PLA-degradation. The findings suggest negative effects of PET and PS on gut fermentation, modulation of important isopod hydrogen emissions by MP pollution and the potential of MP to affect terrestrial food webs.
How to conceive the dignity of the dead? A dispositional account

description: In dealing with human corpses, notions of dignity play a decisive role, especially within legal texts that regulate a corpse’s handling. However, it is quite unclear how the claim “Treat human corpses with dignity!” should be understood and justified. Drawing upon examples and problems from forensic medicine, this paper explores three possible lines of interpreting such demands: (a) positions that closely link the dignity of the human corpse to the dignity of the former living persons and (b) accounts that derive the dignity of the dead from consequentialist considerations. We argue that both lines heavily rely on contestable metaphysical claims and therefore propose an alternative account for the dignity of the dead. Our proposal (c) focuses on action-guiding attitudes and the symbolic value of the dead. Such a conception allows for a variety of morally appropriate groundings of individual attitudes. It avoids metaphysically troublesome premises and, at the same time, allows to classify certain actions and manners of acting as clearly inappropriate and blameworthy.

description: Recent research on executive–legislative relations in parliamentary democracies has shown that members of majority parties submit amendments to government bills to police the coalition compromise and to distinguish themselves from their coalition partners. It is poorly understood, however, what motivates members of the opposition to engage in the resource-intensive work of proposing changes to government bills. Not only are amendment proposals by the opposition often unsuccessful (lack of policy motivation), they are largely invisible to the electorate (lack of vote motivation). We argue that amendments by the opposition are best understood as reflecting office motivations of legislators. Ambitious legislators draft amendments to signal skill and expertise to their party peers, which is rewarded with promotions to higher office. We confirm our argument with original data from a German state parliament. The findings further our understanding of legislative review, individual legislative efforts and career trajectories.
