Consequences of an alternative food for predator in the Holling- Tanner predation model
Creators: name: Arancibia-Ibarra, Claudio

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2018

description: This work deals with a modi…ed Leslie-Gower type predator-prey model where the predators have an alternative food when the quantity of prey diminish and a Holling type II functional response is considered.

With both assumptions the model obtained has a significative difference with the known May-Holling-Tanner model, since the new equilibrium point (0,c) appears, which can be a repeller or a saddle point for different set on the parameter values.

We can obtain different dynamics according the parameter values and it can possible to prove that the existence of a unique positive equilibrium point which is global asymptotically stable.

Also, for other parameter constraints we prove the existence of separatrix curves on the phase plane that divide the behavior of the trajectories, which can have different omega limit, implying that solutions are highly sensitives to initial conditions.

description: Discrete-variable (DV) quantum key distribution (QKD) based on single-photon detectors and sources have been successfully deployed for long-range secure key distribution. On the other hand, continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) based on coherent detectors and sources is currently lagging behind in terms of loss and noise tolerance. An important discerning factor between DV-QKD and CV-QKD is the effect of phase noise, which is known to be more relevant in CV-QKD. In this article, we investigate the effect of phase noise on DV-QKD and CV-QKD protocols, including the six-state protocol and squeezed-state protocol, in a thermal-loss channel but with the assumed availability of perfect sources and detectors. We find that in the low phase noise regime but high thermal noise regime, CV-QKD can tolerate more loss compared to DV-QKD. We also compare the secret key rate as an additional metric for the performance of QKD. Requirements for this quantity to be high vastly extend the regions at which CV-QKD performs better than DV-QKD. Our analysis addresses the questions of how phase noise affects DV-QKD and CV-QKD and why the former has historically performed better in a thermal-loss channel.

description: Abstract

This research aims to find if technology integration affects students’ motivation in learning English. This research used a mixed method design with the quantitative and qualitative analyses. The participants in this research involved 120 students from ninth-grade (IX) students of SMPN 1 Sungguminasa. In this research, the researcher adapted a self-developed questionnaire from Hashmi et al. (2018), and interview as the instruments for data collection. The data were analyzed using Likert scale data analysis for the questionnaire and qualitative data analysis for the interview. The result of this research indicated that technology integration does affect students’ motivation in positive ways. The ways students perceive about technology integration in relation to their motivation varied. The findings confirm that technology integration in the English classroom affected students’ motivation by making learning more enjoyable through presentation of various materials, making study time management more efficient, and providing easy access to unlimited learning resources. In addition, the students gave a positive opinion regarding technology integration in class, which show a mean value of 57.16. Most students, with a percentage of up to 85%, agree that the application of technology positively impacts their English learning motivation.
title: Stammtisch versus Architektur

description: Ausgehend von einem Interview mit dem Wiener Bürgermeister Häupl zum Thema der Machtverhältnisse zwischen den Regierenden und dem Krone-Herausgeber Dichand bei der architektonischen Gestaltung des Museumsquartiers in Wien, in dem jeder Bezug auf ästhetische oder konzeptuelle Fragestellungen fehlte, stellte sich eine grundlegende Frage zur Projektierung von öffentlichen Gebäuden in Österreich. In wieweit nimmt die Bevölkerung die Bauherrschaft bei öffentlichen Gebäuden wahr, und über welche Kommunikationswege? Das Gespräch am Stammtisch wird als kleinstes öffentliches Meinungsbildungselement herausgefiltert, um anhand dieser Gesellschaften die kunstsoziologischen Abläufe in Bezug auf neu zu entstehende Architektur darzulegen. Eine gemeinsame Tradition bildet das wesentliche Bindeglied dieser Vereinigungen und gibt dadurch den zentralen Grund für eine vorhandene Grundskepsis gegenüber neuen innovativen Architekturprojekten. Durch lange Entscheidungsphasen seitens der verantwortlichen politischen Eliten entsteht bei Bauprojekten eine durchgehende Politisierung der Bevölkerung, die diese Situation als Legitimation zur Mitbestimmung empfindet. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass in der Projektierungsphase von Architekturprojekten, besonders mit einer Nutzungsbestimmung im kulturellen Bereich, diese Skepsis von politischen Kräften, Medien und Einzelpersonen aufgegriffen wird, um Eigennutzen daraus zu ziehen. Das Mittel des Skandals ist hierbei am erfolgversprechendsten. Über den Verlauf eines typischen Skandalzyklus wird jede skandalierende Gruppe nach dem zu erwartenden Nutzen anhand zweier Fallbeispiele (das Neue Linzer Musiktheater und das Museumsquartier in Wien) untersucht, um die Motivation der einzelnen Gruppen zu einer Skandalierung herausarbeiten zu können. Es zeigt sich, dass die Motivation zu Skandalieren primär in sozilogischen Gründen zu suchen ist. Theoretische kunstsoziologische Überlegungen aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen führen zu einer Generierung von Hypothesen, die anhand der erwähnten Beispiele auf ihre Gültigkeit hin überprüft werden. Das Fazit aus dieser Überprüfung ergibt das „Versus“ von Stammtisch und Architektur im Titel dieser Arbeit.

description: In big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), the light matter abundance is dictated by the neutron-to-proton ($n/p$) ratio which is controlled by the standard weak processes in the early universe. Here, we study the effect of an extra particle species ($χ$) which \textit{co-annihilates} with neutron (proton), thereby potentially changing the ($n/p$) ratio in addition to the former processes. We find a novel interplay between the co-annihilation and the weak interaction in deciding the ($n/p$) ratio and the yield of $χ$. Large co-annihilation strength ($G_D$) in comparison to the weak coupling ($G_F$), potentially can alter the number of nucleons in the thermal bath modifying the ($n/p$) ratio from its standard evolution. We find that the standard BBN prediction is restored for $G_D/G_F \lesssim 10^{-2}$, while the mass of $χ$ being much smaller than the neutron mass. When the mass of $χ$ is comparable to the neutron mass, we can allow large $G_D/G_F ~(\gtrsim 10^2)$ values, as the thermal abundance of $χ$ becomes Boltzmann-suppressed. Therefore, the ($n/p$) ratio is restored to its standard value via dominant weak processes in later epochs. We also discuss the stability of the new particle in an effective theroy framework for co-annihilation. Further, the co-annihilation interaction generates elastic scattering of $χ$ and nucleons at the next-to-leading order. This provides a way to probe the scenario in direct detection experiments, if $χ$ is accidentally stable over cosmological timescale.

description: COSINUS is a dark matter (DM) direct search experiment that uses sodium iodide (NaI) crystals as cryogenic calorimeters. Thanks to the low nuclear recoil energy threshold and event-by-event discrimination capability, COSINUS will address the long-standing DM claim made by the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration. The experiment is currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, and employs a large cylindrical water tank as a passive shield to meet the required background rate. However, muon-induced neutrons can mimic a DM signal therefore requiring an active veto system, which is achieved by instrumenting the water tank with an array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This study optimizes the number, arrangement, and trigger conditions of the PMTs as well as the size of an optically invisible region. The objective was to maximize the muon veto efficiency while minimizing the accidental trigger rate due to the ambient and instrumental background. The final configuration predicts a veto efficiency of 99.63 $\pm$ 0.16 $\%$ and 44.4 $\pm$ $5.6\%$ in the tagging of muon events and showers of secondary particles, respectively. The active veto will reduce the cosmogenic neutron background rate to 0.11 $\pm$ 0.02 cts$\cdot$kg$^{-1}$$\cdot$year$^{-1}$, corresponding to less than one background event in the region of interest for the whole COSINUS-1$π$ exposure of 1000 kg$\cdot$days.

description: Abstract

The virtual community is an assemblage of individuals networking and sharing information through social media on the internet. Virtual communities of halal lifestyle advocates generate and disseminate content extensively via social media to foster public awareness regarding halal food. This article is based on a systematic review examining the sharing of information and halal food. The review encompasses findings from studies and publications spanning a decade from 2011 to 2021. This review was conducted to assess gaps in previous research and to explore the future of studies examining the sharing of halal food information. Forty-seven scholarly articles on information sharing on social media, halal food, and virtual communities were reviewed. The results mapped out the main methods, theories, and themes, which were then categorized and further analyzed. The analysis revealed several dominant themes, including motivation, roles, credibility, sentiment in messages, and information directing action and community engagement on social media. Virtual communities hold considerable potential as platforms for information exchange among members concerning halal food, with social media emerging as a favored channel. It can be inferred that fresh analyses concerning the dynamics of interaction in sharing halal food information within virtual communities are pertinent and warranted.

description: We present global analyses of effective Higgs portal dark matter models in the frequentist and Bayesian statistical frameworks. Complementing earlier studies of the scalar Higgs portal, we use GAMBIT to determine the preferred mass and coupling ranges for models with vector, Majorana and Dirac fermion dark matter. We also assess the relative plausibility of all four models using Bayesian model comparison. Our analysis includes up-to-date likelihood functions for the dark matter relic density, invisible Higgs decays, and direct and indirect searches for weakly-interacting dark matter including the latest XENON1T data. We also account for important uncertainties arising from the local density and velocity distribution of dark matter, nuclear matrix elements relevant to direct detection, and Standard Model masses and couplings. In all Higgs portal models, we find parameter regions that can explain all of dark matter and give a good fit to all data. The case of vector dark matter requires the most tuning and is therefore slightly disfavoured from a Bayesian point of view. In the case of fermionic dark matter, we find a strong preference for including a CP-violating phase that allows suppression of constraints from direct detection experiments, with odds in favour of CP violation of the order of 100:1. Finally, we present DDCalc 2.0.0, a tool for calculating direct detection observables and likelihoods for arbitrary non-relativistic effective operators.

description: Viral diseases are among the main threats to public health. Understanding the factors affecting viral invasion is important for antiviral research. Until now, it was known that most viruses have very low plaque-forming unit (PFU)-to-particle ratios. However, further investigation is required to determine the underlying factors. Here, using quantitative single-particle analysis methods, the invasion of Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and influenza A virus (IAV) containing attachment to the cell surface, entry into the cell, transport towards the cell interior, and fusion with endosomes to release nucleocapsids were quantitatively analysed in parallel. It was found that for SFV with an PFU-to-particle ratio of approximately 1:2, an entry efficiency of approximately 31% limited infection. For JEV, whose PFU-to-particle ratio was approximately 1:310, an attachment efficiency of approximately 27% and an entry efficiency of 10% were the main factors limiting its infection. Meanwhile, for IAV with PFU-to-particle ratios of 1:8100, 5% attachment efficiency, 9% entry efficiency, and 53% fusion efficiency significantly limited its infection. These results suggest that viruses with different infectivities have different limited steps in the invasion process. Moreover, there are significant differences in attachment efficiencies among viruses, emphasizing the pivotal role of attachment in viral invasion. The influence of the virus purification method on virus invasion was also investigated. This study, for the first time, reports the efficiencies of different stages of virus invasion, leading to a better understanding of virus invasion and providing a protocol to quantitatively analyse the virus invasion efficiency.

description: The design of a multipurpose polishing machine for domestic use was
selected as the subject of this thesis in answer to an existing demand
for such a device.

A study was made of the potential market, the consumer requirements
and the competitive machines. A functional analysis of the proposed
machine in conjunction with consideration of the possible methods of
manufacture established the general form of the unit. Further refinement
of the design from the standpoint of engineering and appearance
defined the final form.

The proposed machine is composed of a universal series motor with
geared drive to the disc or polishing head. Integral handles make
the device suitable for portable applications and a detachable extension
handle adapts it to floor polishing. Two speeds are available
and power-driven accessories may be attached for various tool and
buffing operations.

description: Developing optimal controllers for aggressive high-speed quadcopter flight poses significant challenges in robotics. Recent trends in the field involve utilizing neural network controllers trained through supervised or reinforcement learning. However, the sim-to-real transfer introduces a reality gap, requiring the use of robust inner loop controllers during real flights, which limits the network's control authority and flight performance. In this paper, we investigate for the first time, an end-to-end neural network controller, addressing the reality gap issue without being restricted by an inner-loop controller. The networks, referred to as G\&CNets, are trained to learn an energy-optimal policy mapping the quadcopter's state to rpm commands using an optimal trajectory dataset. In hover-to-hover flights, we identified the unmodeled moments as a significant contributor to the reality gap. To mitigate this, we propose an adaptive control strategy that works by learning from optimal trajectories of a system affected by constant external pitch, roll and yaw moments. In real test flights, this model mismatch is estimated onboard and fed to the network to obtain the optimal rpm command. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by performing energy-optimal hover-to-hover flights with and without moment feedback. Finally, we compare the adaptive controller to a state-of-the-art differential-flatness-based controller in a consecutive waypoint flight and demonstrate the advantages of our method in terms of energy optimality and robustness.

description: This experimental study investigates the impact of partial shading on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, focusing on mono-crystalline and polycrystalline panels. The research utilized three types of covering materials with varying transmittance levels: white leaf, tree leaf, and transparent paper. Shading was applied to 20%, 50%, and 100% of the cell area, and the electrical parameters of the modules were measured for each condition. The transmittance levels of the covering materials were characterized to determine their effect on PV performance. The results indicate that performance degradation is primarily influenced by the type of material used and the shading rate, with significant variations observed between mono-crystalline and polycrystalline panels. The position of the shaded cell was found to have no impact on the performance outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of understanding material properties and shading patterns to optimize PV panel efficiency in real-world conditions
title: Untersuchungen zur Pfadfinderbewegung in Österreich und Frankreich
Creators: name: Oberndorfer, Cornelia
Year: 2010

description: Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sich wohl der größte Unterschied zwischen der Pfadfinderbewegung in Österreich und Frankreich aus externen Faktoren ergibt. Alleine die Anzahl der existierenden und bei WAGGGS und WOSM gemeldeten Verbände birgt einen der größten Unterschiede. Denn während für die Pfadfinderbewegung in Österreich nur der Verband der Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs von den Weltverbänden anerkannt ist, genießen in Frankreich durch einen gemeinsamen Dachverband, dem Scoutisme Français, fünf weitere Pfadfinderverbände internationale Anerkennung. Neben den externen Faktoren können jedoch auch interne als Unterscheidungsfaktoren herangezogen werden. Denn während der österreichische Verband seine Unabhängigkeit von jeglicher Religion und somit seine Interkonfessionalität beteuert, nicht aber jedoch das Aussparen von religiösen und spirituellen Schwerpunkten, die ja Baden-Powell zu einem der drei pfadfinderischen Prinzipien erklärt hat, beteuert, finden sich in Frankreich in der Mehrheit der Verbände klare Schwerpunkte auf bestimmte Glaubensrichtungen. Dies bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass hier die Forderung der Interkonfessionalität und Offenheit für alle Menschen vernachlässigt wird. Es handelt sich lediglich um einen Schwerpunkt, der zwar in das pfadfinderische Programm der jeweiligen Verbände einfließt, dennoch aber jedem Pfadfinder die Möglichkeit geben soll, seinen eigenen Glaubensweg zu finden und zu praktizieren. Im Übrigen finden sich aber auch neben den kleineren Unterschieden, die sich meist aus kulturellen Gründen erklären lassen, viele Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Pfadfindern in Österreich und Frankreich. Angefangen bei ihrer ungefähr zeitgleichen Gründung, sind auch in pfadfindergeschichtlicher Hinsicht viele Parallelen in ihrer Entwicklung zu finden. In der Folge ergeben sich durch ihre internationale Zugehörigkeit durch die Mitgliedschaften in den Weltverbänden WAGGGS und WOSM zahlreiche Gemeinsamkeiten, da für die Anerkennung als Pfadfinderverband die Grundlagen der Pfadfinderbewegung, wie Grundsätze, Ziele, Methoden und Inhalte, erfüllt werden müssen. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, dass die Pfadfinderbewegung überall auf der Welt durch die Idee des Gründers Baden-Powell ihren Ursprung fand und sich daher also auch bei einem Vergleich der Pfadfinderbewegung in Österreich und Frankreich mehrheitlich Parallelen hinsichtlich ihrer Wesensart, ihrer Ziele, Methoden und Inhalte zeigen.

description: I. The coulometric determination of chromates and
vanadates by means of electrolytically generated
cuprous ion has been investigated. For samples
of chromate larger than 170 micrograms, the error
in the determination was less than 0.1 percent.
The presence of oxygen has been shown to give a
positive error of about 0.5 percent when determining
vanadates. When oxygen was excluded, the
error in determining 750 micrograms was less than
0.15 percent.

II. The use of electrolytically generated argentic
silver for the determination of manganous ion,
cerous ion and arsenious acid has been investigated
and has been shown to be impractical because of the
slow rate of oxidation by the argentic silver.

III. The determination of Bromine Numbers with electrolytically
generated bromine has been investigated.
For olefins which rapidly add bromine, the use of a
50 percent acetic acid solution of sodium bromide as
the titration medium has been shown to give good
results. A means has been proposed for the electrolytic
determination of Bromine Numbers for slowly
reacting olefins.

IV. An amperometric method for determining the formal
potential of the reaction 2 Cu+++7Br- = 2CuBr2-+Br3-
has been investigated. The formal potential was
found to be -.384 v. for solutions 0.017 formal in
cupric ion, 0.44 formal in bromide ion, an 0.7 formal
in sulfuric acid.

description: We present a study of the ratio of visible mass to total mass in spiral galaxies to better understand the relative amount of dark matter present in galaxies of different masses and evolutionary stages. Using the velocities of the H-alpha emission line measured in spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) MaNGA Data Release 17 (DR17), we evaluate the rotational velocity of over 5500 disk galaxies at their 90% elliptical Petrosian radii, R90. We compare this to the velocity expected from the total visible mass, which we compute from the stellar, HI, molecular hydrogen, and heavy metals and dust masses. Molecular hydrogen mass measurements are available for only a small subset of galaxies observed in SDSS MaNGA DR17, so we derive a parameterization of the molecular hydrogen mass as a function of absolute magnitude in the r band using galaxies observed as part of SDSS DR7. With these parameterizations, we calculate the fraction of visible mass within R90 that corresponds to the observed velocity. Based on statistically analyzing the likelihood of this fraction, we conclude that the null hypothesis (no dark matter) cannot be excluded at a confidence level better than 95% within the visible extent of the disk galaxies. We also find that when all mass components are included, the ratio of visible-to-total mass within the visible extent of star-forming disk galaxies increases with galaxy luminosity.

description: A physical system is determined by a finite set of initial conditions and "laws" represented by equations. The system is computable if we can solve the equations in all instances using a "finite body of mathematical knowledge". In this case, if the laws of the system can be coded into a computer program, then given the initial conditions of the system, one can compute the system's evolution. Are there incomputable physical systems? This question has been theoretically studied in the last 30-40 years. In this paper, we experimentally show for the first time the strong incomputability of a quantum experiment, namely the outputs of a quantum random number generator. Moreover, the experimental results are robust and statistically significant.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1948
Subjects: (Industrial Design)
Engineering

description: A portable floor lamp has been developed for residential lighting,
employing modern light sources to provide illumination of optimum
quantity and quality for reading and a variety of room lighting
effects. Improvement over existing types was accomplished by use
of adjustable auxiliary reading light, below eye level, in conjunction
with general luminaire of standard height. Specular
reflection from glossy paper was markedly reduced by decreasing
light source brightness and increasing its area relative to the
printed page. Illumination intensity level was raised to 100
footcandles by reducing distance between page and source, while
adequate brightness of surroundings was maintained by over-all
room lighting from general lighting unit. Indicator on reading
lamp assists user in selection of proper illumination for each
visual task. Operation cost was reduced 30 per cent by partial
use of fluorescent light sources. Design embodies conclusions
drawn from extensive research in marketing, manufacturing,
consumer preferences, competitive products and the science of
light and vision, to provide a versatile, sight-saving lamp for
successful mass production and marketing.

Speak in Women’s Way: Online Feminist Movements and Social Media Impact of #MeToo China 2018
Creators: name: Huang, Huanyu
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2024

description: Since 2017, an online feminist movement sparking debates against sexual harassment has been launched on Twitter using the hashtag “MeToo”, soon going viral from online platforms to the offline world. Starting in the United States, the #MeToo movement has influenced more than 85 countries. Among these, #MeToo China stands out due to its distinctive developmental characteristics and context. This study aims to investigate women's narratives that emerged from #MeToo China in 2018, underlining the significance of these narratives and associated issues from a Chinese perspective in the context of the social media age. Through comprehensive and in-depth analysis and discussion, this study highlights two main findings. First, ordinary participants, who constitute a significant part of #MeToo China, construct narratives that challenge existing gender power structures, reassess gender issues, and break free from the chains of nationalism and collectivism. Second, the “black box” created by the censorship process of #MeToo China becomes an invisible power mechanism that continuously strengthens and guarantees the government's authority. The contribution and significance of this study lie in its filling the gap in #MeToo China studies by offering both a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the movement from a non-Western perspective. Additionally, it provides a distinctive perspective of the Chinese #MeToo movement within the academic context of East Asia and the Global South, offering valuable references for related research.

description: We investigate how the speed of propagation of physical excitations is encoded in the coefficients of five-point interactions. This leads to a superluminality bound on scalar five-point interactions, which we present here for the first time. To substantiate our result, we also consider the case of four-point interactions for which bounds from S-matrix sum rules exist and show that these are parametrically equivalent to the bounds obtained within our analysis. Finally, we extend the discussion to a class of higher-point interactions.

description: Edible insects, a novel source of protein, are gaining interest for their health promoting attributes. In this study, the in vivo and in vitro antioxidant effect of tropical banded cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus) peptides was evaluated. Antioxidant activity by 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) and caco-2 cellular antioxidant activity, were measured in hydrolyzed followed by simulated gastrointestinal digested (SGD) cricket peptides. In vivo analysis was conducted using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. In vitro analysis showed cricket peptides had greater (p< 0.05) antioxidant activity than the unhydrolyzed protein (control). In C. elegans, the lifespan of nematodes fed SGD peptides increased under chronic and acute oxidative stress conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of nematodes fed SGD peptides under paraquat induced oxidative stress were lower (p<0.05) than that of the control group. Further studies using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated that the increased resistance to oxidative stress in C. elegans fed SGD peptides could be due to the increased expression of the stress-related gene gst-4. Taken together, these results indicate that tropical banded cricket peptides could be used as a functional food and nutraceutical to combat oxidative stress.
Activation segment of protein kinases: classification based on multidimensional analysis

description: Activation segments (ASs) of protein kinases play crucial roles in regulation, rendering them prime candidates for therapeutic intervention. Their structural and sequence diversity makes them challenging to study systematically. This study proposes a novel classification of protein kinase ASs based on comprehensive analysis of their sequences, structures and conformational dynamics. Through sequence and structural analysis, we identified seven distinct classes of ASs that transcend traditional phylogenetic classifications. The analysis identified multiple highly conserved sequence motifs, including Y-X(2)-D-Y-Y, D-F-G-x(2)-R and P-x(2)-W-x-A-P-E, demonstrating correlations with functional characteristics. Secondary structure analysis demonstrated consistent patterns, notably two C-terminal α helices and N-terminal β sheets, with class-specific variations. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed differential stability patterns across conformational states (IN, OUT, SWP), with the OUT conformation showing remarkable stability in most classes. The ‘Class II’, characterized by three conserved motifs, stable secondary structure and consistent dynamics, exhibited unique structural and dynamic properties among the classes. This new classification system provides valuable insights for understanding kinase structure-function relationships.
