description: Industrial and model polymer nanocomposites are often formulated with coating agents to improve polymer-nanoparticle (NP) compatibility. Here the localization of silane coating agents in styrene-butadiene nanocomposite is investigated through the segmental dynamics of the polymer matrix by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), allowing the detection of silanes in the matrix through their plasticization effect. This acceleration of dynamics was followed via the shift of $τ$max of the $α$-relaxation induced by the presence of coating agents of different molecular weight and quantity, for different amounts of incorporated colloidal silica NPs (R $\approx$ 12.5 nm, polydispersity 12%). Any noteworthy contribution of interfacial polymer layers on $τ$max has been excluded by reference measurements with bare NPs. Our approach allowed quantifying the partition between the matrix and the NP interfaces, and was confirmed independently by calorimetry. As a control parameter, the silane grafting reaction could be activated or not, which was confirmed by the absence (resp. presence) of partitioning with the matrix. Our main result is that in the first steps of material formulation, before any grafting reaction, coating agents both cover the silica surface by adsorption and mix with the polymer matrix-in particular if the latter has chemical compatibility via its functional groups. Silane adsorption was found to be comparable to the grafted amount (1.1 nm-2), and does not increase further, confirming that the plateau of the adsorption isotherm is reached in industrial formulations. These results are hoped to contribute to a better understanding of the surface reactions taking place during complex formulation processes of nanocomposites, namely the exact amounts at stake, e.g., in industrial mixers. Final material properties are affected both through NP-matrix compatibility and plasticization of the latter by unreacted molecules. 2

description: The Emergency Conservation Work Act, signed into effect by Franklin Delano Roosevelt on March 31, 1933, led to the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps. This agency sought to bring relief to both American families and American ecosystems. In a time when the United States government struggled to codify a federal flood control policy, the enrollees of the CCC executed flood control projects under the auspices of several agencies, most prominently the Soil Conservation Service. The following study seeks to examine the CCC's use of soil conservation as a method of flood control in the greater context of the development of federal flood control policy in the 1930s and 1940s. The state of Maryland is used as a case study to provide an in-depth examination of flood control methods and procedures.

description: Surgical resection of hepatic tumours is not always possible. Alternative techniques consist in locally using chemical or physical agents to destroy the tumour and this may be performed percutaneously. It requires a precise localisation of the tumour placement during ablation. Computer-assisted surgery tools may be used in conjunction to these new ablation techniques to improve the therapeutic efficiency whilst benefiting from minimal invasiveness. This communication introduces the principles of a system for computer-assisted hepatic tumour ablation.
An imprint of planet formation in the deep interior of the Sun

description: Our goal is to determine whether processes that led to the formation of planets in the solar system may have left an observational signature in the Sun's composition. We calculate the evolution of the Sun from the protostellar phase to the present age. We perform chi-squared tests to optimize our input parameters (mixing length, overshooting parameter, initial compositions, the parameters for the opacity increase, and the evolution of accreting materials' composition) using spectroscopic and helioseismic constraints (i.e., effective temperature, luminosity, surface composition, convective envelope thickness, and sound speed profile). We first determine which classes of models best reproduce the observational constraints. We then account for variations of the composition of accreted gas and compare the resulting internal compositions obtained for the present-day Sun. We find that solar models best matching all available constraints require an opacity increase of 12 to 18% centered on 2.5 million K, slightly higher but qualitatively in good agreement with measurements of higher Fe opacities by Bailey et al. (2015). During the planet formation phase, the accretion of dust into pebbles and their inward drift leads to a temporary ``pebble wave'' of increased metallicity. It is followed by metal-poor accretion due to exhaustion of solids in the disk and the formation of planetesimals and planets. Because this lasts only for a few million years, we find that most of the signature of this phase is erased by the initially large solar convective zone. However, we find that the metallicity of the solar core (inner 20% in radius) is enhanced by up to 5%. This may be tested from an accurate measurement of the solar neutrino flux.

sectionalism

description: In 1832, the Maryland State Colonization Society officially seceded from the American Colonization Society.  With this declaration of independence, the Maryland State Colonization Society embarked on a thirty year journey during which it failed miserably in its very purpose.  The Maryland State Colonization Society failed to convince free African Americans to immigrate to Africa in order to pursue a life free of oppression and racism.   Nevertheless, the Maryland State Colonization Society sustained an official and financial relationship with the Maryland General Assembly during this period.  The thesis explores the underlying motivations and controversies which allowed the Maryland General Assembly to look to the Maryland State Colonization Society as the answer to its own sectional crises.  Through the rhetoric and arguments published in the Maryland Colonization Journal, the Maryland State Colonization Society became a voice for moderation and compromise amongst the divisive and sectional viewpoints of the North and South.  Providing a program which slaveholders and anti-slavery proponents could suit to their own beliefs, the white population of Maryland could believe that they had answered the problem of slavery and a growing free African American population.  Through the Maryland State Colonization Society's program, the population of Maryland made a deliberate and prolonged evaluation of slavery's present and future role in the state.  Consequently, this allowed the legislatures and leaders of Maryland to make the pragmatic decision to remain in the Union during the Civil War.

description: When the 1967 Outer Space Treaty was ratified in the United States Senate, President Lyndon Baines Johnson created the first formalized law that regulated territory beyond our own Earth. While the path leading to the ratification of the treaty was long and complex, it revealed an in-depth network of the various forces behind the treaty's success and fruition through, not only the United Nations, but also through the United States. In the midst of rising Cold War tensions and a series of arms control and disarmament movements throughout the 1960s, peace came in the form of a series of difficult negotiations. As the talks progressed, cooperation in developing an international space program was considered an inevitable venture. As Johnson progressed through his tenure as a Senator, Vice Presidency, and through his Presidency, we can see the intertwined nature between the rising science and technology developments form domestically and internationally with the policy that was driven by the heavily political environment of the 1960s. What we see here is a case in which the presidential management of the American space program from its inception becomes a reality from the Executive relationships, personal determinism, and the increasing international nature of the time. All of which resulted in the policy-decision making process that followed one of the largest technological endeavors of the 20th century.

description: We consider a periodic chain of oscillating dipoles, interacting via long-range dipole-dipole interactions, embedded inside a cuboid cavity waveguide. We show that the mixing between the dipolar excitations and cavity photons into polaritons can lead to the appearance of new states localized at the ends of the dipolar chain, which are reminiscent of Tamm surface states found in electronic systems. A crucial requirement for the formation of polaritonic Tamm states is that the cavity cross-section is above a critical size. Above this threshold, the degree of localization of the Tamm states is highly dependent on the cavity size, since their participation ratio scales linearly with the cavity cross-sectional area. Our findings may be important for quantum confinement effects in one-dimensional systems with strong light-matter coupling.

The different promoters inserted upstream of the lux operon are symbolized by the red broken arrow. The left and rights ends of Tn7 are indicated with black triangles. Restriction sites (X, XhoI; B, BamHI) are shown in black letters on both sides of the promoter. Deletion of the DNA sequence located between these two restriction sites in the pCS26-sig70c35-luxCDABE plasmid yielded the no promoter transcriptional fusion (NoP::lux). Primers used to verify the chromosomal insertion of the transcriptional fusion are represented by grey arrows above the ORFs (adapted from [52]).;The strain carrying the NoP::lux fusion was used as the negative control to determine the basal luminescence emitted by the different organs. The numerous measurements carried out with this control fusion (29 for each organ) made it possible to fix arbitrarily a positivity threshold PT =1.5 x (〖Mean radiance〗NoPOrgan+SD) for each organ. Blue bars correspond to mean radiance + SD and orange bars with the numeric values represent the PT. PP: ileal Peyer's patches; MLN: mesenteric lymph nodes.

description: This research aims to describe individual differences manifested in voice with a particular focus on the reflected individual differences within gender framework. The following is the central goal of the current research to investigate; differences in the ways and the degree of individualising information manifested in their speech acoustics between the sexes. The multi-speaker database of Japanese compiled by the National Research Institute of Police Science (Japan) was employed for the research. Out of more than 600 speakers stored in the database, 28 male and 28 female speakers were selected. Their age variable was controlled so that age groups are approximately balanced. The speech samples were recorded from two separate occasions for each speaker. Higher formant frequencies (F1/F2/F3) extracted from five Japanese vowels (/a/,/i,/u/,/e/,/o/) were labelled on Emu and the formant values were automatically extracted by the speech-analysis software. On the basis of the extracted formant values, speaker verification techniques were used as an analytical tool in measuring difference/similarity exhibited in the speakers' voice. A statistical inference called kernel-density multivariate likelihood ratio (abbreviated as MVLR) was used to quantify the difference/similarity manifested by comparing two speech samples either from the same speaker (same-speaker comparison, abbreviated as SS comparison) or from two different speakers (different-speaker comparison, DS comparison). Overall number of speakers who were correctly evaluated in their SS and DS comparisons was higher in the male group than in the female group. This confirms that gender{u00AD}correlated acoustic differences do manifest in higher formant values in Japanese. Each comparison made for each vowel was discussed in details to investigate the mechanism behind the gender difference shown in the formant value. Likelihood ratios calculated for both SS and DS comparisons contribute to the discussion.

description: In the path integral formulation of the reduced phase space Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), we propose a new approach to allow the spatial cubic lattice (graph) to change dynamically in the physical time evolution. The equations of motion of the path integral derive the effective dynamics of cosmology from the full LQG, when we focus on solutions with homogeneous and isotropic symmetry. The resulting cosmological effective dynamics with the dynamical lattice improves the effective dynamics obtained earlier from the path integral with fixed spatial lattice: The improved effective dynamics recovers the FLRW cosmology at low energy density and resolves the big-bang singularity with a bounce. The critical density $ρ_c$ at the bounce is Planckian $ρ_c\sim Δ^{-1}$ where $Δ$ is a Planckian area serving as certain UV cut-off of the effective theory. The effective dynamics gives the unsymmetric bounce and has the de-Sitter (dS) spacetime in the past of the bounce. The cosmological constant $Λ_{eff}$ of the dS spacetime is emergent from the quantum effect $Λ_{eff}\simΔ^{-1}$. These results are qualitatively similar to the properties of $\barμ$-scheme Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). Moreover, we generalize the earlier path integral formulation of the full LQG by taking into account the coupling with an additional real scalar field, which drives the slow-roll inflation of the effective cosmological dynamics. In addition, we discuss the cosmological perturbation theory on the dynamical lattice, and the relation to the Mukhanov-Sasaki equation.

description: Characteristics of the care given to those experiencing disability provide a window into important aspects of community and culture. In archaeology, health-related care provision is inferred from physical evidence in human remains indicating survival with, or recovery from, a disabling pathology, in circumstances where, without support, the individual may not have survived to actual age at death. Despite its potential to provide a valuable perspective on past behaviour, caregiving is a topic that has been overlooked by archaeologists. This thesis presents the 'bioarchaeology of care' - an original, fully-theorised and contextualised case study-based approach for identifying and interpreting disability and health-related care practices within their corresponding lifeways, and one that seeks to reveal elements of past social relations, socioeconomic organisation and group and individual identity which might otherwise be inaccessible. The applied methodology comprises four stages of analysis: (i) description and diagnosis; (ii) establishing disability impact and determining the case for care; (iii) deriving a 'model of care'; and (iv) interpreting the broader implications of care given. Each stage builds on the contents of preceding one(s), facilitating scrutiny of the analytical process. This dissertation first discusses the treatment of healthcare provision in archaeological research, considering where, and why, this has fallen short. Successive chapters establish a context and a conceptual foundation for undertaking archaeological research into health-related caregiving, which includes operationalising terminology surrounding issues of 'disability' and 'care'; exploring the social and biological evolutionary origins of caregiving, and the implications of these for understanding prehistoric care practice; and presenting a framework for deconstructing the decision-making involved in giving and receiving care. The thesis then details the stages of the methodology and introduces the Index of Care, a computer-based instrument designed to support bioarchaeology of care analysis and interpretation. Three chapters examine, respectively, the care given to M9 (Neolithic Vietnam), La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1 and La Ferrassie 1 (European Upper Middle Palaeolithic), and Lanhill Burial 7 (early British Neolithic), illustrating the variety, richness and immediacy of insights attainable through application of the methodology. These case studies demonstrate that the bioarchaeology of care's focus on caregiving as an expression of collective and individual agency allows an engagement with the past that brings us closer to those who inhabited it.

description: We investigate the long-term evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks. We specifically focus on the following two questions: (i) How does stellar evolution affect disk evolution? (ii) How do disks with weak turbulence disperse? On the first question, since photoevaporation (PE) is driven by stellar high-energy photons, we first derived the evolution of stellar XUV luminosities by combining stellar evolution simulations, stellar atmospheric models, and empirical relations from observations and theoretical considerations. From disk evolution simulations including a time-dependent PE model, we found that PE rates around low-mass stars are almost constant with time. On the other hand, those around intermediate-mass stars change dramatically: the X-ray PE rate decreases with time due to the stellar structure evolution (i.e., convective to radiative), whereas the FUV increases due to the increase of the stellar effective temperature. We conclude that stellar evolution is crucially important for the disk evolution around intermediate-mass stars. Our results show that the disk lifetime decreases with stellar mass, which has been suggested by observations. On the second question, both recent observations and theoretical studies have suggested protoplanetary disks are less turbulent. However, previous studies have suggested that a low viscosity results in a long (> 10 Myr) disk lifetime if the disk evolves with only viscous accretion and PE. In this study, we investigated the effects of MHD winds and wind-driven accretion. First, we investigated the disk evolution with these MHD processes and (inefficient) viscous accretion. We found that although these MHD processes significantly change the inner disk structure, the disks last long. On the other hand, if we also consider PE, the disk lifetime can be less than 6 Myr. We conclude that all the three processes (i.e., PE, MHD winds, and wind-driven accretion) should be considered in a realistic disk evolutionary model.

description: When gravitational waves pass through the nuclear star clusters of galactic lenses, they may be microlensed by the stars. Such microlensing can cause potentially observable beating patterns on the waveform due to waveform superposition and magnify the signal. On the one hand, the beating patterns and magnification could lead to the first detection of a microlensed gravitational wave. On the other hand, microlensing introduces a systematic error in strong lensing use-cases, such as localization and cosmography studies. We show that diffraction effects are important when we consider GWs in the LIGO frequency band lensed by objects with masses $\lesssim 100 \, \rm M_\odot$. We also show that the galaxy hosting the microlenses changes the lensing configuration qualitatively, so we cannot treat the microlenses as isolated point mass lenses when strong lensing is involved. We find that for stellar lenses with masses $\sim 1 \, \rm M_\odot$, diffraction effects significantly suppress the microlensing magnification. Thus, our results suggest that gravitational waves lensed by typical galaxy or galaxy cluster lenses may offer a relatively clean environment to study the lens system, free of contamination by stellar lenses. We discuss potential implications for the strong lensing science case. More complicated microlensing configurations will require further study.

description: This paper introduces a new Finite Element biomechanical model of the human face, which has been developed to be integrated into a simulator for plastic and maxillo-facial surgery. The idea is to be able to predict, from an aesthetic and functional point of view, the deformations of a patient face, resulting from repositioning of the maxillary and mandibular bone structures. This work will complete the simulator for bone-repositioning diagnosis that has been developed by the laboratory. After a description of our research project context, each step of the modeling is precisely described: the continuous and elastic structure of the skin tissues, the orthotropic muscular fibers and their insertions points, and the functional model of force generation. First results of face deformations due to muscles activations are presented. They are qualitatively compared to the functional studies provided by the literature on face muscles roles and actions.

description: It is shown that homogeneous Rayleigh-Benard flow, i.e., Rayleigh-Benard turbulence with periodic boundary conditions in all directions and a volume forcing of the temperature field by a mean gradient, has a family of exact, exponentially growing, separable solutions of the full non-linear system of equations. These solutions are clearly manifest in numerical simulations above a computable critical value of the Rayleigh number. In our numerical simulations they are subject to secondary numerical noise and resolution dependent instabilities that limit their growth to produce statistically steady turbulent transport.

Lives in transition : the experience of living with spinal cord injury and the meaning of adjustment
Creators: name: Scott, Sarah Barabara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The experience of living with spinal cord injury (SCI) is not well understood and no empirical definition of adjustment was found in the literature. Phenomenological design was used to explore these gaps. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight men and two women who have SCIs and reside in the community. The experience was found to involve a transition process wherein people moved from destabilized to restabilized identity as they progressed through phases of Disorientation in acute care, Rehabilitation, Coasting, Entering the Community, and a Critical Turning Point. As this occurred, disability became less central until finally becoming only one of many aspects of life. Support, affiliation with other people with disabilities, and a strategy of pursuing options were important facilitators of progress. Adjustment was associated with movement, change and learning. Accepting SCI was found to mean being fully cognizant of one's situation. This appeared to be an influential factor in adjustment, which findings suggest may be the course of a person's response to change. SCI as transition emphasizes the individual's perspective and introduces an alternative to the historical medical approach to SCI which focuses on the condition arising from injury. The bulk of psychological research on SCI excludes the perspectives of persons with SCI and the contexts of their lives, and it focuses on the short-term. It has not, therefore, accessed the experience of living with SCI. Transition theory seeks to understand the individual's perception of the impact of SCI on life experience over the long term. It can bring forth knowledge of SCI as an experience of living which can inform practice and further research.
Giant Hall effect in the ballistic transport of two-dimensional electrons

description: We have studied magnetotransport of a degenerate two-dimensional electron gas in a Hall sample in the Knudsen regime, when the mean free paths of electrons with respect to their collisions with each other and with impurities are much larger than the width of the sample. In contrast to the usually considered symmetric sample, whose both its edges reflect electrons diffusely, we considered an asymmetric sample, one edge of which reflects them diffusely, while the other specularly. It is shown that in such structure in low magnetic fields the Hall coefficient is parametrically large in comparison with its standard value. Also the situation is discussed when all types of scattering can be neglected except for scattering at the edges of the sample.
Convection and the origin of Evershed flows in sunspot penumbrae

description: We discuss a numerical 3D radiation-MHD simulation of penumbral fine structure in a small sunspot. This simulation shows the development of short filamentary structures with horizontal flows, similar to observed Evershed flows, and an inward propagation of these structures at a speed compatible with observations. We conclude that the Evershed flow represents the horizontal flow component of overturning convection in gaps with strongly reduced field strength. The top of the flow is always directed outward--away from the umbra-- because of the broken symmetry due to the inclined magnetic field. Upflows occur in the inner parts of the gaps and most of the gas turns over radially (outwards and sideways), and descends back down again. The ascending, cooling and overturning flow tends to bend magnetic field lines down, forcing a weakening of the field that makes it easier for gas located in an adjacent layer--further in--to initiate a similar sequence of motion, aided by lateral heating, thus causing the inward propagation of the filament.

Where's the Question? A Multi-channel Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Question Identification in Textual Data

description: In most clinical practice settings, there is no rigorous reviewing of the clinical documentation, resulting in inaccurate information captured in the patient medical records. The gold standard in clinical data capturing is achieved via "expert-review", where clinicians can have a dialogue with a domain expert (reviewers) and ask them questions about data entry rules. Automatically identifying "real questions" in these dialogues could uncover ambiguities or common problems in data capturing in a given clinical setting. In this study, we proposed a novel multi-channel deep convolutional neural network architecture, namely Quest-CNN, for the purpose of separating real questions that expect an answer (information or help) about an issue from sentences that are not questions, as well as from questions referring to an issue mentioned in a nearby sentence (e.g., can you clarify this?), which we will refer as "c-questions". We conducted a comprehensive performance comparison analysis of the proposed multi-channel deep convolutional neural network against other deep neural networks. Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of traditional rule-based and learning-based methods for detecting question sentences. The proposed Quest-CNN achieved the best F1 score both on a dataset of data entry-review dialogue in a dialysis care setting, and on a general domain dataset.

Concatenated beam splitters, optical feed-forward and the nonlinear sign gate

description: We consider a nonlinear sign gate implemented using a sequence of two beam splitters, and consider the use of further sequences of beam splitters to implement feed-forward so as to correct an error resulting from the first beam splitter. We obtain similar results to Scheel et al. [Scheel et al., Phys. Rev. A 73, 034301 (2006)], in that we also find that our feed-forward procedure is only able to produce a very minor improvement in the success probability of the original gate.

Acoustic radiation force on small spheres due to transient acoustic fields

description: Acoustic radiation force is a net force experienced by an object under the action of an acoustic wave. Most theoretical models require the acoustic wave to be periodic, if not purely monofrequency, and are therefore irrelevant for the study of acoustic radiation force due to acoustic pulses. Here, we introduce the concept of finite-duration pulses, which is the most general condition to derive the acoustic radiation force. In the case of small spheres, we extend the Gor'kov to formula to unsteady acoustic fields such as traveling pulses and interfering wave packets. In the latter case, our study suggests that the concept of acoustic contrast is also relevant to express the acoustic radiation force. For negative acoustic contrast particles, the acoustic trapping region narrows with shorter pulses, whereas positive contrast particles (such as biological cells) can fall in secondary traps when the pulse width deviates from an optimal value. This theoretical insight may help to improve the selectivity of pulsed acoustic tweezers.
Resolving conflict in a divided society : contact, community relations and identity in Northern Ireland

description: Recent census data and successive surveys within Northern Ireland have recorded that a significant minority of both Catholics and Protestants choose not to identify as Irish or British, opting instead to identify as Northern Irish. Using data from the Northern Ireland Social Attitudes (NISA) and Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT) surveys, this study estimates connections between this trend and community relations initiatives that aim to increase contact between Catholics and Protestants. It is the first study to explore and compare systematically the relationships between five key indicators of cross-community contact-school integration, residential mixing, mixed religion friendship groups, mixed religion kinship ties, and mixed religion marriage-and national identity preferences. Understanding these relationships is important, since the rationale for many community relations initiatives is that increasing intergroup contact will lead to a reduction in prejudicial attitudes and help foster the emergence of a shared society. The key findings are that individuals who have had regular contact with people across the communal divide are significantly more likely to identify themselves as Northern Irish and not as Irish or British. The strength of these relationships, however, is found to vary against key socio-economic and socio-demographic dimensions and reasons are advanced for these variations.
