description: Mindful attention to breath is often a component of mindfulness-based interventions for smoking, but there has been little research investigating its unique effects on smoking outcomes. The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of mindful attention to breath with and without a controlled yogic breathing component on smoking behavior. Twelve-hour abstinent daily smokers (N = 36; 39% female; M = 9.89 cigarettes per day; 69% African American) were randomly assigned to a 20 minute intervention consisting of 1. mindful attention to breath (MB); 2. mindful attention to breath with controlled yogic breathing (MYB); or 3. no-treatment (NT) control. During a 50-minute smoking versus money choice task, both MB and MYB significantly reduced the risk of smoking compared to NT with no significant differences between the two. The MB group reported greater increases in feelings of serenity compared to MYB and NT. There were no effects for negative or positive affect, craving, tobacco withdrawal, or state mindfulness. In this preliminary investigation, controlled yogic breathing did not enhance the effectiveness of MB. MB is an easily disseminable and cost-effective strategy that may promote smoking abstinence and should be further explored.

description: Let $M$ be a complex manifold and $S\subset M$ a (possibly singular) subvariety of $M$. Let $f\colon M\to M$ be a holomorphic map such that $f$ restricted to $S$ is the identity. We show that one can associate to $f$ a holomorphic section $X_f$ of a sheaf related to the embedding of $S$ in $M$ and that such a section reads the dynamical behavior of $f$ along $S$. In particular we prove that under generic hypotheses the canonical section $X_f$ induces a holomorphic action in the sense of Bott on the normal bundle of (the regular part of) $S$ in $M$ and this allows to obtain for holomorphic self-maps with non- isolated fixed points index theorems similar to Camacho-Sad, Baum-Bott and variation index theorems for holomorphic foliations. Finally we apply our index theorems to obtain information about topology and dynamics of holomorphic self-maps of surfaces with a compact curve of fixed points.

description: HUMUTERMES BOURGUIGNON & ROISIN GEN. NOV.
(FIGS 3A–E, 7C–D, 8C, 9C–D, 10, 11; TABLES 4, 5)
 Type species: Humutermes krishnai Bourguignon and Roisin, described below.
 Description
 Worker: Very small- to small-sized, head width between 0.49 and 0.62 mm. Head whitish, fully covered by over 100 small setae. Fontanelle almost indistinct. Fore tibia enlarged near middle. Digestive tract as in Figure 8C, closely resembling Anoplotermes sensu stricto. Mesenteron overlapping with proctodeum to form a distinct, elongated mixed segment. Mesenteric part of mixed segment on internal side apically inflated into a whitish, spherical diverticulum. Enteric valve inserted into an extension of the paunch, composed of six sclerotized pads with well-developed sclerotized armature.
 Imago: Eyes and ocelli of medium size. Fontanelle of medium size, appearing as an elongated white dot located between eyes. Pronotum semicircular from above, covered by hundreds of small bristles and several dozen long bristles. Posterior margins of meso- and metanotum slightly emarginated, with rounded angles.
 Diagnosis
 Humutermes workers have an elongated mixed segment with a whitish, spherical mesenteric diverticulum. These features distinguish them from other South American soldierless termites, except for Anoplotermes sensu stricto. The overall appearance of the workers is very similar to Anoplotermes sensu stricto, with which the genus may form a monophyletic group, but the molecular phylogenetic tree is not sufficiently resolved to support this. The genus mainly differs from Anoplotermes sensu stricto by the shape of its enteric valve, composed of six pads, each with ten to 20 long spines protruding into the paunch. Imagos differ from Anoplotermes sensu stricto by their larger, more elongated fontanelle.
 Etymology
 We named this genus ‘ Humutermes ’ to refer to its diet, humus.

description: The paper examines the emergence of gauge fields during the evolution of a particle with a spin that is described by a matrix Hamiltonian with n different eigenvalues. It is shown that by introducing a spin gauge field a particle with a spin can be described as a spin multiplet of scalar particles situated in a non-Abelian pure gauge (forceless) field U(n). As the result, one can create a theory of particle evolution that is gauge invariant with regards to the group U^n(1). Due to this, in the adiabatic (Abelian) approximation the spin gauge field is an analogue of n electromagnetic fields U(1) on the extended phase space of the particle. These fields are force ones, and the forces of their action enter the particle motion equations that are derived in the paper in the general form. The motion equations describe the topological spin transport, pumping and splitting. The Berry phase is represented in this theory analogously to the Dirac phase of a particle in an electromagnetic field. Due to the analogy with the electromagnetic field, the theory becomes natural in the four-dimensional form. Besides the general theory the article considers a number of important particular examples, both known and new.

description: The paper deals with the results of an analysis of the spatial structure of agriculture in Poland which was aimed at assessing the impact of the historical factor. The territory of present-day Poland includes the political borders of the 19th and 20th centuries which divided the area into two parts: western (Kingdom of Prussia and the land belonging to Poland and Germany in the interwar period) and eastern (the land of the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire which later belonged to Poland in the interwar period). The historical factor and its impact were examined also in the comparative analysis of two adjoining stretches of land accepted as territorial units (East Poland and West Poland). We showed that historical borders constitute an important element affecting the evolution of the spatial structure of Polish agriculture. The impact of the historical factor was shown to be the strongest for the differences in the features associated with agrarian structure, rural socio-demography, and productivity and profitability of agricultural holdings.

description: Dimethylammonium copper (II) chloride (also known as DMACuCl3 or MCCL) is a low dimensional S=1/2 quantum spin system proposed to be an alternating ferro-antiferromagnetic chain with similar magnitude ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange interactions. Subsequently, it was shown that the existing bulk measurements could be adequately modeled by considering DMACuCl3 as independent AFM and FM dimer spin pairs. We present here new inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the spin-excitations in single crystals of DMACuCl3. These results show significant quasi-one-dimensional coupling, however the magnetic excitations do not propagate along the expected direction. We observe a band of excitations with a gap of 0.95 meV and a bandwidth of 0.82 meV.

description: In experiments searching for axionic dark matter, the use of the standard threshold-based data analysis discards valuable information. We present a Bayesian analysis framework that builds on an existing processing protocol to extract more information from the data of coherent axion detectors such as operating haloscopes. The analysis avoids logical subtleties that accompany the standard analysis framework and enables greater experimental flexibility on future data runs. Performing this analysis on the existing data from the HAYSTAC experiment, we find improved constraints on the axion-photon coupling $g_γ$ while also identifying the most promising regions of parameter space within the $23.15$--$24.0$ $μ$eV mass range. A comparison with the standard threshold analysis suggests a $36\%$ improvement in scan rate from our analysis, demonstrating the utility of this framework for future axion haloscope analyses.

description: In the presence of a variable magnetic field, the Weyl pseudodifferential calculus must be modified. The usual modification, based on ``the minimal coupling principle'' at the level of the classical symbols, does not lead to gauge invariant formulae if the magnetic field is not constant. We present a gauge covariant quantization, relying on the magnetic canonical commutation relations. The underlying symbolic calculus is a deformation, defined in terms of the magnetic flux through triangles, of the classical Moyal product.

description: Polyploids (organisms with more than two copies of each chromosome) exhibit more complicated meiotic behavior compared to diploids. In diploids, two homologous chromosomes pair and separate during meiosis. However, multiple pairing configurations between chromosomes are possible in polyploids. This pairing behavior characterizes import classes of polyploids. With the growth of next-generation sequencing (NGS), non-model organisms are being studied and their meiotic behavior is of interest. However, no method currently exists to estimate interpretable parameters that characterize the degree and strength of preferential pairing during meiosis directly from genotypes, which are typical outputs of NGS data. In this thesis, we describe a way to directly estimate levels preferential pairing at individual loci using genotype data derived from NGS data. However, data from one locus are not able to identify interpretable parameters of interest. Thus, we provide a way to combine information between loci using a novel model-based clustering approach to obtain parameter estimates that are interpretable for the scientific community. We evaluate our methods on simulated data.

description: Municipalities in Austria have been exploring ways to adopt inclusive and sustainable development approaches based on the built environment. It is a fact that the tasks of municipalities are becoming more and more comprehensive, while the resources available are not increasing to the same extent. However, the sustainable provision of municipal public services must remain a key component in strengthening rural areas. One way is to conduct a CommunalAudit. In addition to the identification of optimisation and development options, the CommunalAudit tool serves as a basis for inter-communal cooperation. Moreover, it enables municipalities to look at their finances and entire infrastructure in an objective and systematic way and to compare them with those of others. Between 2008 and 2013, the CommunalAudit was one of the measures within the Rural Development Programme in Austria. This contribution (a) explores the implementation of CommunalAudit in Austria, (b) highlights the benefits and drawbacks for municipalities and citizenry, and (c) looks at the former’s further development.

description: Graph representation learning based on graph neural networks (GNNs) can greatly improve the performance of downstream tasks, such as node and graph classification. However, the general GNN models do not aggregate node information in a hierarchical manner, and can miss key higher-order structural features of many graphs. The hierarchical aggregation also enables the graph representations to be explainable. In addition, supervised graph representation learning requires labeled data, which is expensive and error-prone. To address these issues, we present an unsupervised graph representation learning method, Unsupervised Hierarchical Graph Representation (UHGR), which can generate hierarchical representations of graphs. Our method focuses on maximizing mutual information between "local" and high-level "global" representations, which enables us to learn the node embeddings and graph embeddings without any labeled data. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we perform the node and graph classification using the learned node and graph embeddings. The results show that the proposed method achieves comparable results to state-of-the-art supervised methods on several benchmarks. In addition, our visualization of hierarchical representations indicates that our method can capture meaningful and interpretable clusters.

description: We investigated the extent to which the Local Development Strategy (LDS) activities planned at the beginning of the European Union’s Leader programme implementation period, and the associated budget allocation in response to the defined local needs, were confirmed at the end of the period. We used as examples the implementation of two LDSs, one by a Local Action Group (LAG) in Poland and one in Italy. We applied some simple indicators to assess how much the budget assumptions at the planning level were reflected in the successful implementation of projects, and conducted interviews with representatives of the two LAGs. We showed that the two LAGs were generally working effectively but that excessive institutionalisation could be the major constraint to the proper design of the LDS and thus the implementation of the Leader programme. For the Polish LAG, it was because of the transfer of the evaluating role outside of the LAG: assessment of applications was undertaken by the regional institution, the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture. In the case of the Italian LAG, the reason was an excessive formalisation of the rules concerning project applications.

De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

LCA of new UBC Pharmacy building

Year: 2015

description: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the environmental impacts of the new building and to critically review the previous study done by Amiri and Hashemi. It also contributes to a benchmark study, against which new building projects can be compared. This report is intended for an all those who wish to know more about LCA at UBC, and in particular of the Pharmacy Building; next years’ students; and for evaluation as the term project in CIVL 498C. This project is undertaken at a high level of detail; the results are sorted into major element groups, which are entire classes of elements grouped together. The high level element groups are A11 Foundations, A21 Lowest Floor Construction, A22 Upper Floor Construction, A23 Roof Construction, A31 Walls Below Grade, A32 Walls Above Grade, and B11 Partitions. This is congruent with the CIQS MasterFormat. Another element of scope is the limitation of the system boundary. For this project, the system boundary only considers the life cycle from cradle to gate; i.e. the process chain including extraction of raw materials, transportation, refining, transportation of refined materials, production into products, transportation to the construction site, and then construction. The use and the end-of-life stages are not considered. This limitation in scope reflects the time budget that the students are expected to put into the project. One of the first tasks of this project was to sort the provided files into the major element groups. After being sorted, the model needed to be critically reviewed. It was found that almost no changes needed to be made, few changes could be made with the current level of acceptable accuracy, and those changes that could be made could not be made with the available resources. After the critical review, the results were interpreted and compared against the benchmarks set by the class.

description: Precise estimation of fiducial points of a seismocardiogram (SCG) signal is a challenging problem for its clinical usage. Delineation techniques proposed in the existing literature do not estimate all the clinically significant points of an SCG signal, simultaneously. The aim of this research work is to propose a delineation framework to identify IM, AO, IC, AC, pAC and MO fiducial points with the help of a PPG signal. The proposed delineation method processes a wavelet-based scalographic PPG and an envelope construction scheme is proposed to estimate the prominent peaks of the PPG signal. A set of amplitude histogram based decision rules is developed for estimation of SCG diastole phases, namely AC, pAC and MO. Subsequently, the systolic phases, IM, AO and IC are detected by applying diastole masking on SCG and decision rules. Experimental results on real-time SCG signals acquired from our designed data acquisition-circuitry and their analysis show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Additionally, these estimated parameters are analyzed to show the discrimination between normal breathing and breathlessness conditions.

description: The aim of this study is to identify factors impacting consumer attitudes towards the purchase of functional foods, also known as foods with a positive physiological impact on health, in Hungary. Our work also focuses on the volume of information currently available to consumers when making such a choice, and on identifying consumer clusters. Particular attention is paid to the extent to which the available information can impact the respective purchase decision, which channels are used in obtaining such information, and which information is considered reliable or unreliable by shoppers. Based on the results of focus group research, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey (n=502). To reduce the high number and hard-to-interpret attitude variables, a factor analysis was performed, followed by the formation of consumer segments via cluster analysis according to the consumer attitude indicators. These segments were termed Health-conscious consumers, Consumers with limited information, The sceptics and The price conscious, and were characterised according to socio-demographic, behavioural and attitude variables. Then, we sought to identify the sources of information that would best address a given segment, and explored the efficiency of information transfer in the functional food market.

DIFFERENTIAL MODULATION OF SENSORIMOTOR AND NON-SENSORIMOTOR NETWORKS WITH CEREBELLAR TDCS
Creators: name: Rice, Laura C.

description: The human cerebellum is thought to contribute to both sensorimotor and non-sensorimotor functions, and functional subregions of the cerebellum exist based on regional differences in anatomical connectivity with the cerebral cortex and spinal and vestibular systems. It has been argued that cerebellar subregions modulate different cerebro-cerebellar circuits, impacting a wide range of behaviors. We aimed to determine the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting different cerebellar subregions on behavior and whole-brain functional connectivity patterns. Forty-seven healthy young adults (17 males, 30 females; 23.2 ± 2.4 years) completed a resting-state scan and language task both before and after 20min of 1.5mA anodal (excitatory) tDCS in the MRI scanner. Eleven participants received tDCS targeting the sensorimotor cerebellum (3cm lateral to right of inion); cognitive cerebellar regions were targeted in n=20 (4cm to right of inion); and 16 participants received sham tDCS. We compared electric field (EF) models, behavioral performance on a language task (sentence completion task), and functional connectivity between the groups to evaluate the behavioral and neural changes resulting from regional cerebellar neuromodulation. The EF models revealed distinct peak coordinates for the sensorimotor and cognitive electrode montages, with some overlap between the EFs produced by the two active cerebellar stimulation sites. Behaviorally, tDCS targeting the cognitive cerebellum improved accuracy and response times on the sentence completion task, whereas targeting the sensorimotor cerebellum impaired task accuracy. Resting state functional connectivity results suggested differential modulation of broader cerebro-cerebellar circuits with the sensorimotor vs. cognitive electrode montages. Anterior and posterior cerebellar networks were differentially modulated via tDCS, whereby targeting the sensorimotor cerebellum increased functional connectivity within the anterior cerebro-cerebellar network while targeting the cognitive cerebellum increased functional connectivity within posterior cerebro-cerebellar networks. These findings confirm that cerebellar subregions can be differentially modulated with tDCS, though additional analyses suggested that the specificity is limited to supra-lobule levels with the electrode montages used here. Because cerebellar modulation could have broad clinical applications, future work will determine whether and how we can improve selective targeting of specific cerebro-cerebellar circuits.

Quantal diffusion approach for multinucleon transfer processes in the $^{58,64}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb reactions: Toward the production of unknown neutron-rich nuclei

description: Background: In recent years, substantial efforts have been made for the study of multinucleon transfer reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier both experimentally and theoretically, aiming at the production of unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei. It is crucial to provide reliable theoretical predictions based on microscopic theories with sufficient predictive power. Purpose: This paper aims to clarify the applicability of the quantal diffusion approach based on the stochastic mean-field (SMF) theory for multinucleon transfer processes. Isotope production cross sections are evaluated for the reactions of $^{64}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb at $E_{c.m.}$=268 MeV and $^{58}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb at $E_{c.m.}$=270 MeV and are compared with available experimental data. Methods: Three-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations are carried out for a range of initial orbital angular momenta with Skyrme SLy4d functional. Quantal diffusion equations, derived based on the SMF theory, for variances and covariance of neutron and proton numbers of reaction products are solved, with microscopic drift and diffusion coefficients obtained from the time evolution of occupied single-particle orbitals in TDHF. Secondary deexcitation processes, both particle evaporation and fission, are simulated by a statistical model, GEMINI++. Results: We find that the quantal diffusion approach reproduces the measured cross sections for abundant reaction products, including both projectile-like and target-like fragments, as well as fragments of transfer-induced fission. The results underline the importance of beyond mean-field effects in describing multinucleon transfer processes. We emphasize that the quantal diffusion description does not involve any adjustable parameters, once an energy density functional is given. Possible future directions are discussed.

An abundance analysis of the symbiotic star CH Cyg

description: The photospheric abundances for the cool component of the symbiotic star CH Cyg were calculated for the first time using high-resolution near-infrared spectra and the method of of standard LTE analysis and atmospheric models. The iron abundance for CH Cyg was found to be solar, [Fe/H] = 0.0+/-0.19. The atmospheric parameters and metallicity for CH Cyg are found to be approximately equal to those for nearby field M7 giants. The calculated [C/H] = -0.15, [N/H] = +0.16, [O/H] = -0.07, and the isotopic ratios of 12C/13C and 16O/17O are close to the mean values for single M giants that have experienced the first dredge-up. A reasonable explanation for the absence of barium star-like chemical peculiarities seems to be the high metallicity of CH Cyg. The emission line technique was explored for estimating CNO ratios in the wind of the giant.

description: The Convention on Biological Diversity in 2004 set out 12 principles to underpin implementation of the ecosystem approach that can be broadly grouped into four categories:
 People - The care of nature is a shared responsibility for all of society; we most value all knowledge and perspectives; we most involve more of society in decisions.
 Scale and Dynamics - Work at the right geographic scale and timescale; look well ahead into the future; work with inevitable environmental change.
 Functions and services - Maintain the flow of ecosystem services; work within the capacity of natural systems; balance the demand for use and conservation of the environment.
 Management - Allow decisions to be led locally, as far as practicable; assess the effects of decisions on others; consider economic factors.
 Fifteen years later the integration of ecosystem services and natural capital into environmental assessment is still very much in its infancy. Despite their seemingly remote nature, deep sea benthic habitats generate ecosystem services which provide benefits to society. Examples of these ecosystem services include provisioning ecosystem services such as fisheries, regulating ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and maintenance of biodiversity and cultural ecosystems such as existence value. This report examines the assessment, mapping and valuation of ecosystem services in the marine and specifically for deep sea benthic habitats in the ATLAS case studies. For the provisioning ecosystem service of fisheries, a comparison is made between qualitative and quantitative approaches in methods of measuring and mapping ecosystem services generated from benthic habitats.
 In addition, this report has collated maps assessing the risk of fisheries impact - the most widespread and impacting human activity in the North Atlantic – in areas where vulnerable marine ecosystems and fish habitat are likely to occur in each ATLAS case study. This work presented as an atlas will provide a foundation to underpin subsequent testing of blue growth scenarios in each of the case studies.

description: We examine whether or not the surface tension acts to increase the nucleon density in the nuclear interior within a compressible liquid-drop model. We find that it depends on the density dependence of the surface tension, which may in turn be deduced from the neutron skin thickness of stable nuclei.

description: Isospin and U-spin symmetries are useful approximations for studying penguin dominance in $B$ meson decays to three kaons, $B\to KK\bar K$. We point out certain subtleties in treating these decays in these approximations. Resulting uncertainties are discussed in determining the CP content of the final state in $B \to K^+K^-K_S$, and in relating the CP asymmetry in this process to the value of $\sin 2β$.
