description: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a very rare, acute,serious and potentially fatal skin reaction disease.Carbamazepine is one of its most common cause, othersare antiretroviral drugs, anti-tuberculosis drugs,sulphonamides, fluoroquinolones, penicillins, nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs and multivitamins.Genetic susceptibility has been suggested as a possibleexplanation. We report a case of SJS secondary tocarbamazepine in a patient with previous history of skinrashes due to carbamazepine which was given fortreatment of schizoaffective disorder. We would like tohighlight that carbamazepine re-administration should beavoided in the patient with a previous history of adverseskin reaction or SJS. In addition, gradual titration andobservation for these side effects are recommended whileinitiating treatment with carbamazepine.

description: We present an improved fabrication process for overlapping aluminum gate quantum dot devices on Si/SiGe heterostructures that incorporates low-temperature inter-gate oxidation, thermal annealing of gate oxide, on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and an optimized interconnect process for thermal budget considerations. This process reduces gate-to-gate leakage, damage from ESD, dewetting of aluminum, and formation of undesired alloys in device interconnects. Additionally, cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images elucidate gate electrode morphology in the active region as device geometry is varied. We show that overlapping aluminum gate layers homogeneously conform to the topology beneath them, independent of gate geometry, and identify critical dimensions in the gate geometry where pattern transfer becomes non-ideal, causing device failure.

description: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is one of the most troublesome extrapyramidal side effects of neuroleptic medicine. The development of TD on clozapine, a second generation antipsychotics is rare. There are some case reports of TD induced or worsened by clozapine therapy, but clozapine still remains a viable treatment option for patients with antipsychotic induced TD as well as withdrawal dyskinesia. We report a case of 60 year old male patient with the diagnosis of schizophrenia for 25 years who developed TD, around one year after the initiation of clozapine therapy. Clozapine was replaced by amisulpride however it has to be reintroduced as psychotic symptoms continued. It was not clear if clozapine had a direct effect on inducing TD or it was the effect of prolonged exposure to previous antipsychotics. It is probable that clozapine may induce TD in rare cases; however treatment goals need to be balanced between symptom control and side effect management.

description: The spectra of radio quiet and NLS1 galaxies show suprising similarity in their shape. They seem to scale only with the accretion rate but not with central black hole mass. We consider two mechanisms modifying the disk spectrum. First, the outer parts of the disk are irradiated by the flux emerging from the inner parts. This is due to the scattering of the flux by the extended hot medium (warm absorber). Second process is connected with the development of the disk warm Comptonizing skin above the disk and/or coronae. Our scenario applies only to object with relatively high luminosity to the Eddington luminosity ratio for which disk evaporation is inefficient.

description: ABSTRACTTorsades de pointes (Tdp) is a malignant polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia1 often associated with drugs like haloperidol that prolonged QTc interval2. If enough care is not taken this may lead to sudden death. This can occur at normal therapeutic doses with either oral3,4 or intravenous use5.We report here a case of 35 years old female who was a known case of schizophrenia. She was admitted in our hospital for aggressive behavior. She was on haloperidol. On ECG there was evidence of prolonged QT interval. During her stay in hospital she developed potentially life threatening arrhythmia torsades de pointes.

description: Neutral-current neutrino scattering from the deuteron leading to proton-neutron final states is considered using an approach that incorporates relativistic dynamics and consequently provides robust modeling at relatively high energies and momenta. In this work the focus is placed on the fully exclusive reaction where both the proton and neutron in the final state are assumed to be detected. Accordingly, the incident neutrino energy, the neutrino scattering angle and the scattered neutrino's energy can all be reconstructed. It is shown that for specific choices of kinematics the reaction proceeds mainly via scattering from the proton, while for other choices of kinematics it proceeds mainly from the neutron. Specific asymmetries are introduced to focus on these attributes. Measurements in both regions have the potential to yield valuable information on the nucleon's electroweak form factors at momentum transfers up to a (GeV/c)$^2$. In particular, the cross sections are shown to be very sensitive to the isoscalar axial-vector form factor, and sensitive but less so to the magnetic strangeness form factor. Comparisons with other reactions, specifically charge-changing neutrino reactions and both parity-conserving and -violating electron scattering, have the potential to provide new ways to test the Standard Model.

description: Recent measurements show that the free surfaces of liquid metals and alloys are always layered, regardless of composition and surface tension; a result supported by three decades of simulations and theory. Recent theoretical work claims, however, that at low enough temperatures the free surfaces of all liquids should become layered, unless preempted by bulk freezing. Using x-ray reflectivity and diffuse scattering measurements we show that there is no observable surface-induced layering in water at T=298 K, thus highlighting a fundamental difference between dielectric and metallic liquids. The implications of this result for the question in the title are discussed.

description: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Office of Publications staff is building an archive of economic reports dating from the late 1800s. The archived material will be available online through the BLS Web site (http://www.bls.gov) as PDF files. Appropriate metadata need to be integrated with the archive material to help users find and identify relevant content. Candidate metadata elements were selected from the DDI. User studies will be performed to verify that the selected metadata elements help users search successfully. Initial studies will elicit descriptions of metadata that users want to see associated with archival material, compare those choices with the candidate DDI elements, and revise the set if appropriate. Then users will test the revised metadata in realistic scripted searches of the archive. The talk will describe the project, the selection process for the metadata elements, and the methods and results of early user studies.
Everything but the Kitchen Sink: Building a Metadata Repository for Time Series Data at the Federal Reserve Board

description: The research divisions at the Federal Reserve Board use a variety of time series data for both research and forecasting in support of its duty to conduct monetary policy for the United States. The collection, maintenance, and upkeep of more than 50,000 time series from more than 60 sources in a central location are daunting tasks; the documenting of the metadata for the compilation and use of these data are even more so. We are currently building a comprehensive metadata repository that links three kinds of metadata about our time series: structural metadata describing the series themselves; reference metadata describing the collection and construction of the aggregate time series by the issuing agency; and operational metadata documenting our procedures for retrieving, processing, and maintaining the data. Many of the pieces to the puzzle currently exist in a disparate array of formats: attributes in a proprietary database, HTML pages on a Web site, Word documents buried on a file server, etc. We are bringing these pieces of information together in a relational database setting to allow users to search for and see all the relevant metadata for a particular series or economic concept. In addition, we have the challenge of making the entries time-sensitive to accommodate the library of vintage or "real time" data we are building for future research.

description: In many composites the electrical transport takes place only by tunneling between isolated particles. For a long time it was quite a puzzle how, in spite of the incompatibility of tunneling and percolation networks, these composites conform well to percolation theory. We found, by conductance atomic force microscopy measurements on granular metals, that it is the apparent cut-off of the tunneling to non-nearest neighbors that brings about this behavior. In particular, the percolation cluster is shown to consist of the nearest-neighbors sub-network of the full tunneling network.

description: This research aims to obtain optimal conditions of one-stage preparation of activated carbon (AC) from date stones using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of three activation variables (activation temperature (T), activation time (t) and ZnCl2: precursor impregnation ratio (r) ) on the AC yield (Y), specific surface area (SSA), Micropore volume (VM) and total pore volume (Vt) were investigated. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the most influential factor in each experimental design response was identified. The optimum conditions for preparing AC were found as follows: T of 585 °C, t of 2.124 h and r of 2.434:1 which resulted in 20.16% of Y, 624 m²/g of SSA, 0.105 cm3/g of VM and 0.362 cm3/g of Vt. Herein, AC prepared under optimum conditions was characterized using SEM, FTIR, FRX, pHpzc analysis to evaluate the efficiency of optimization of chemical activation process in its morphological and chemical characteristics. Moreover, the obtained AC was used for phenol removal from wastewater using an ultrasonic-assisted adsorption manner. Some key parameters that influence the efficacy of ultrasonic-assisted phenol adsorption incorporate the initial concentration and sonication time were tested at ambient temperature without maintaining the pH of the solution. The results showed that The maximum amount of adsorption (442 mg/g) was noticed when the sonication time was 60 min and partially increased by the enhancement of the initial phenol concentration. In consequence, the present study suggests a speed and eco-friendly adsorption process intending to mitigate environmental risk sustainably of hydrocarbons.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The Peierls equation is considered for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $β$ lattice. Explicit form of the linearized collision operator is obtained. Using this form the decay rate of the normal mode energy as a function of wave vector $k$ is estimated to be proportional to $k^{5/3}$. This leads to the $t^{-3/5}$ long time behavior of the current correlation function, and, therefore, to the divergent coefficient of heat conductivity. These results are in good agreement with the results of recent computer simulations. Compared to the results obtained though the mode coupling theory our estimations give the same $k$ dependence of the decay rate but a different temperature dependence. Using our estimations we argue that adding a harmonic on-site potential to the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $β$ lattice may lead to finite heat conductivity in this model.

Pleotelson posterolateral margin anterior to uropods without spines or tubercles. Pereopod bases without spines. Uropods length in female 0.50, in male 0.65 length of pleotelson.
 Description
 Body granular. Pereonite 2 in female with median tubercle, 2–3 pairs of dorsal tubercles, 1 pair of anterolateral simple spines. Pereonite 3 in female with median tubercle, 2 pairs of dorsal tubercles. Pereonites 2–3 in female with dorsal tubercles arranged in transverse row, anterolateral simple spines short, length distinctly less than length of pereonite 1. Pereonite 4 in female length 0.55 width. Pleotelson in female length 1.35 width.
 Male specific characters. Pleotelson length 1.3 width. Pleopod II protopod apex rounded.
 Distribution

description: We study the frequency-synchronization of randomly coupled oscillators. By analyzing the continuum limit, we obtain the sufficient condition for the mean-field type synchronization. We especially find that the critical coupling constant $K$ becomes 0 in the random scale free network, $P(k)\propto k^{-γ}$, if $2 < γ\le 3$. Numerical simulations in finite networks are consistent with these analysis.

description: Interest has been expressed in a professional publication addressing the needs of data professionals working in libraries. Within the context of libraries, issues common to many types of data professionals take on special significance -- collection management, metadata developments, tools targeting specific academic user groups, preservation, and so on. Is there sufficient interest among data professionals in libraries to support a stand-alone publication or development of regular features in a pre-existing one? What topics are potential readers interested in? What formats are preferred? This session will be a facilitated discussion, beginning with presentation of initial survey results and alternative publication models, to exchange information about the needs of the group and devise a publication with the broadest utility.

description: In psychiatric medicine term `automatism' denotes a set of behavior that occurs outside the conscious control of the person and it usually signifies a serious and sometimes life threatening situation for the person affected with automatism and also those around the patient. Automatic states are serious enough and require immediate and prompt intervention1. Here we present a rather rare case of 58 years old male who presently is asymptomatic. But he had a past history becoming stiff like `zombie `and suddenly feeling energetic. In addition to this other behavioral disturbances like anger outburst and confusion and difficulty in remembering the events was also present. The patient killed his younger brother during automatism. He was admitted in our hospital (department of psychiatry hospital in Taif kingdom of saudi Arabia). During investigations his EEG showed right fronto-temporal sharp waves indicating multifocal epileptiform activity, MRI was unremarkable. Patient was started on Sodium Valproate to which he is responding well.

description: The Gastown Heritage Guidelines govern all architectural design within the historic area of downtown Vancouver. As these guidelines strictly guard the facade, occupants are forced to expand on the margins. The strict adherence to the guidelines on the facade and the simultaneous revolt against them in the form of additions and alterations demonstrates that, to the city of Vancouver, heritage exists independently of evolving cultural ideologies, social issues and economic constraints. This begs the question: What is being preserved, and for whom? The original Gastown buildings were built to serve a specific need at a specific time and are reflective of the design and construction methods of that time. No longer subject to the same constraints, we can look to contemporary tools, such as digital fabrication, as a means to generate a much needed disruption. By leveraging machine logic, designers can use digital fabrication as a lens from which to gain a unique perspective.

description: The formation of biomolecular condensates inside cells often involve intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), and several of these IDPs are also capable of forming droplet-like dense assemblies on their own, through liquid-liquid phase separation. When modelings thermodynamic phase changes, it is well-known that finite-size scaling analysis can be a valuable tool. However, to our knowledge, this approach has not been applied before to the computationally challenging problem of modeling sequence-dependent biomolecular phase separation. Here, we implement finite-size scaling methods to investigate the phase behavior of two 10-bead sequences in a continuous hydrophobic/polar protein model. Combined with reversible explicit-chain Monte Carlo simulations of these sequences, finite-size scaling analysis turns out to be both feasible and rewarding, despite relying on theoretical results for asymptotically large systems. While both sequences form dense clusters at low temperature, this analysis shows that only one of them undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation. Furthermore, the transition temperature at which droplet formation sets in, is observed to converge slowly with system size, so that even for our largest systems the transition is shifted by about 8%. Using finite-size scaling analysis, this shift can be estimated and corrected for.

In most ofthe instances there is no medically identifiable cause of this polydipsia and polyuria1. Dilutionalhyponatremia is one of the common complication of such polydipsia and if not recognized in time maylead to water intoxication and further complications.Here we present a rather rare case of 50 years male who was a diagnosed case of schizoaffectivedisorder on carbamazepine & qutiapine. He developed hyponatremia and progressed to waterintoxication.The cause of the hyponatremia in this patient was Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretichormone (SIADH) secondary to of carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy2. CBZ has antidiuretic properties3 whichwas responsible for water intoxication and dilutional hyponatremia in this patient. The patient wasinvestigated and was found to be having serum sodium level of 130mmol/lit. Patient was treated byfluid restriction and discontinuation of carbamazepine (4,5,6).

The common causes of self-mutilation includes schizophrenia1,2,3,4,drug induced psychosis5,6,obsessive compulsive disorder7,8 ,depression, mental retardation and intellectual disability9. Organic causes of self-mutilation include also in organic epilepsy, encephalitis & diabetes mellitus. Successful self-mutilation of the eye may often be followed by anxiety relief 10, 11 whereas frustration is common and repeated attempts can be made when unsuccessful. Here we present a rather rare case of 50 years old female, a case of schizophrenia with mental retardation (intellectual disability) with borderline diabetes and Ischemic heart disease (IHD). The Patient was admitted in chronic rehabilitation ward since long, she had deliberately removed both her eyes by a finger.

description: The streaming instability (SI) has been extensively studied in the linear and non-linear regimes as a mechanism to concentrate solids and trigger planetesimal formation in the midplane of protoplanetary discs. A related dust settling instability (DSI) applies to particles while settling towards the midplane. The DSI has previously been studied in the linear regime, with predictions that it could trigger particle clumping away from the midplane. This work presents a range of linear calculations and non-linear simulations, performed with FARGO3D, to assess conditions for DSI growth. We expand on previous linear analyses by including particle size distributions and performing a detailed study of the amount of background turbulence needed to stabilize the DSI. When including binned size distributions, the DSI often produces converged growth rates with fewer bins than the standard SI. With background turbulence, we find that the most favorable conditions for DSI growth are weak turbulence, characterized by $α\lesssim 10^{-6}$ with intermediate-sized grains that settle from one gas scale-height. These conditions could arise during a sudden decrease in disc turbulence following an accretion outburst. Ignoring background turbulence, we performed a parameter survey of local 2D DSI simulations. Particle clumping was either weak or occurred slower than particles settle. Clumping was reduced by a factor of two in a comparison 3D simulation. Overall, our results strongly disfavor the hypothesis that the DSI significantly promotes planetesimal formation. Non-linear simulations of the DSI with different numerical methods could support or challenge these findings.
Designing for unhoused people: An inclusive public space strategy

description: This project explores how landscape design can support social equality in the urban scale landscape after the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic totally changed the human lifestyle. It has also exacerbated spatial injustice within the urban fabric and among different socioeconomic groups. It has brought to the fore questions, such as What is the role of landscape/public space in mitigating the spatial injustices in the city? Furthermore, how can landscape design contain social care to design public space in a neighbourhood that includes large numbers of people who are experiencing homelessness? The Oppenheimer neighborhoods in Vancouver is one of those areas where the pandemic has had a significant impact, particularly on the homeless population. As such, this project will focus on interventions within the vacant lot, streetscape, and parking lot in an attempt to shift urban design focuses to include all users of the urban realm, including the homeless. Proposed designs demonstrate how flexibility, durability and inclusiveness can improve the wellbeing of the homeless communities through a healing garden, multi-use plaza, modular streetscapes etc.
An Analysis of the Genetic Algorithm and Abstract Search Space Visualisation
Creators: name: HARRIS, RICHARD ALAN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1996

description: The Genetic Algorithm (Holland, 1975) is a powerful search technique based upon the principles of Darwinian evolution. In its simplest form the GA consists of three main operators - crossover, mutation and selection. The principal theoretical treatment of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is provided by the Schema Theorem and building block hypothesis (Holland, 1975). The building block hypothesis describes the GA search process as the combination, sampling and recombination of fragments of solutions known as building blocks. The crossover operator is responsible for the combination of building blocks, whilst the selection operator allocates increasing numbers of samples to good building blocks. Thus the GA constructs the optimal (or near-optimal) solution from those fragments of solutions which are, in some sense, optimal. The first part of this thesis documents the development of a technique for the isolation of building blocks from the populations of the GA. This technique is shown to extract exactly those building blocks of interest - those which are sampled most regularly by the GA. These building blocks are used to empirically investigate the validity of the building block hypothesis. It is shown that good building blocks do not combine to form significantly better solution fragments than those resulting from the addition of randomly generated building blocks to good building blocks. This results casts some doubt onto the value of the building block hypothesis as an account of the GA search process (at least for the functions used during these experiments). The second part of this thesis describes an alternative account of the action of crossover. This account is an approximation of the geometric effect of crossover upon the population of samples maintained by the GA. It is shown that, for a simple function, this description of the crossover operator is sufficiently accurate to warrant further investigation. A pair of performance models for the GA upon this function are derived and shown to be accurate for a wide range of crossover schemes. Finally, the GA search process is described in terms of this account of the crossover operator and parallels are drawn with the search process of the simulated annealing algorithm (Kirkpatrick et al, 1983). The third and final part of this thesis describes a technique for the visualisation of high dimensional surfaces, such as are defined by functions of many parameters. This technique is compared to the statistical technique of projection pursuit regression (Friedman & Tukey, 1974) and is shown to compare favourably both in terms of computational expense and quantitative accuracy upon a wide range of test functions. A fundamental flaw of this technique is that it may produce poor visualisations when applied to functions with a small high frequency (or order) components.

description: We investigate real-time tachyon dynamics of unstable D-brane carrying fundamental string charge. We construct the boundary state relevant for rolling of modulated tachyon with gauge fields excited on the world-volume, and study spatial distribution of the fundamental string charge and current as the D-brane decays. We find that, in contrast to homogeneous tachyon rolling, spatial modulation of the tachyon field triggers density wave of strings when electric field is turned on, and of string anti-string pairs when magnetic field is turned on. We show that the energy density and the fundamental string charge density are locked together, and evolve into a localized delta-function array (instead of evolving into a string fluid) until a critical time set by initial condition of rolling tachyon. When the gauge fields approach the critical limit, the fundamental strings produced become BPS-like. We also study the dynamics via effective field theory, and find agreement.

description: Neutron stars provide a cosmic laboratory to study the nature of dark matter particles and their interactions. Dark matter can be captured by neutron stars via scattering, where kinetic energy is transferred to the star. This can have a number of observational consequences, such as the heating of old neutron stars to infra-red temperatures. Previous treatments of the capture process have employed various approximation or simplifications. We present here an improved treatment of dark matter capture, valid for a wide dark matter mass range, that correctly incorporates all relevant physical effects. These include gravitational focusing, a fully relativistic scattering treatment, Pauli blocking, neutron star opacity and multi-scattering effects. We provide general expressions that enable the exact capture rate to be calculated numerically, and derive simplified expressions that are valid for particular interaction types or mass regimes and that greatly increase the computational efficiency. Our formalism is applicable to the scattering of dark matter from any neutron star constituents, or to the capture of dark matter in other compact objects.

description: Aim: The cardiovascular toxicity of unheated and heated flavorants and their products as commonly present in electronic cigarette liquids (e-liquids) was evaluated previously in vitro. Based on the results of in vitro assays, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, menthol, and vanillin were selected to conduct a detailed chemical analysis of the aerosol generated following heating of each compound both at 250 and 750 °C. Materials and Methods: Each flavoring was heated in a drop-tube furnace within a quartz tube. The combustion atmosphere was captured using different methods to enable analysis of 308 formed compounds. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were captured with an evacuated Summa canister and assayed via gas chromatography interfaced with mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Carbonyls (aldehydes and ketones) were captured using a 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) cartridge and assayed via a high-performance liquid chromatography-ultra-violet (HPLC-UV) assay. Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were captured using an XAD cartridge and filter, and extracts were assayed using GC–MS/MS. Polar compounds were assayed after derivatization of the XAD/filter extracts and analyzed via GC–MS. Conclusion: At higher temperature, both cinnamaldehyde and menthol combustion significantly increased formaldehyde and acetaldehyde levels. At higher temperature, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and menthol resulted in increased benzene concentrations. At low temperature, all four compounds led to higher levels of benzoic acid. These data show that products of thermal degradation of common flavorant compounds vary by flavorant and by temperature and include a wide variety of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs).
Vision and navigation in nocturnal ants
Creators: name: Raderschall, Chloe Aline
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: The ability to navigate between places of importance is fundamental for all animals be it for foraging on a daily basis or for migrating seasonally from and to mating or feeding grounds. Central-place foragers, such as ants, have to regularly navigate between their nest and food sources every day, often covering 1000 times their body length. Ants have occupied almost every environment on earth, from barren deserts to the dense understory of rainforests and they are active during both day and night. The navigational cues available in these different environmental and temporal niches are radically different. This makes it possible to study the mechanisms underlying navigation in both closely and distantly related species by comparing (1) their reliance on different navigational cues between different niches, (2) how their sensory systems have adapted to perceive and capture the information they need and (3) how their brains process the information, which ultimately drives behaviour. This combination of the disciplines of ethology, evolutionary biology and neuroscience is commonly referred to as neuroethology and aims at studying the mechanisms underlying animal behaviour in the context in which they have evolved. Ants repeatedly return to places of interest by first memorising the visual scene around it. On their return trips they move and compare their current views to a stored memory image to pinpoint specific locations. For this, animals require a stable image. The robustness of visual information needed to compare memorised and current views is prone to degradation by both locomotion-induced blurring and also by environmental factors such as falling light levels. In the first part of my thesis, I address how nocturnal bull ants, Myrmecia pyriformis, stabilise their head to varying degrees of locomotion-induced body roll at a range of light intensities. I demonstrate through experiments in the animals' natural habitat and in laboratory conditions using highspeed videography that their ability to stabilise their head decreases as light levels drop. This clearly indicates that vision plays a role in head stabilisation in these ants. I discuss the consequences of imperfect head roll for visually guided navigation. In the second part of my thesis I describe techniques in histology, neuroanatomy and behavioural ecology that I learnt to understand the underlying mechanisms of navigation in nocturnal ants.

description: We show that private shared reference frames can be used to perform private quantum and private classical communication over a public quantum channel. Such frames constitute a novel type of private shared correlation (distinct from private classical keys or shared entanglement) useful for cryptography. We present optimally efficient schemes for private quantum and classical communication given a finite number of qubits transmitted over an insecure channel and given a private shared Cartesian frame and/or a private shared reference ordering of the qubits. We show that in this context, it is useful to introduce the concept of a decoherence-full subsystem, wherein every state is mapped to the completely mixed state under the action of the decoherence.
