Principle component analysis

description: Abstract: Background: Although there is high co-occurrence between ASD and ADHD, the nature of this co-occurrence remains unclear. Our study aimed to examine the underlying relationship between ASD and ADHD symptoms in a combined sample of children with a primary clinical diagnosis of ASD or ADHD. Methods: Participants included children and youth (aged 3-20 years) with a clinical diagnosis of ASD (n = 303) or ADHD (n = 319) for a total of 622 participants. Parents of these children completed the social communication questionnaire (SCQ), a measure of autism symptoms, and the strengths and weaknesses of ADHD and normal behavior (SWAN) questionnaire, a measure of ADHD symptoms. A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on combined SCQ and SWAN items, followed by a profile analysis comparing normalized component scores between diagnostic groups and gender. Results: PCA revealed a four-component solution (inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, social-communication, and restricted, repetitive, behaviors, and interests (RRBI)), with no overlap between SCQ and SWAN items in the components. Children with ASD had higher component scores in social-communication and RRBI than children with ADHD, while there was no difference in inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive scores between diagnostic groups. Males had higher scores than females in social-communication, RRBI, and hyperactivity/impulsivity components in each diagnostic group. Limitations: We did not formally assess children with ASD for ADHD using our research-criteria for ADHD, and vice versa. High rates of co-occurring ADHD in ASD, for example, may have inflated component scores in inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. A disadvantage with using single informant-based reports (i.e., parent-rated questionnaires) is that ASD and ADHD symptoms may be difficult to distinguish by parents, and may be interpreted differently between parents and clinicians. Conclusions: ASD and ADHD items loaded on separate components in our sample, suggesting that the measurement structure cannot explain the covariation between the two disorders in clinical samples. High levels of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity were seen in both ASD and ADHD in our clinical sample. This supports the need for a dimensional framework that examines neurodevelopmental domains across traditional diagnostic boundaries. Females also had lower component scores across social-communication, RRBI, and hyperactivity/impulsivity than males, suggesting that there may be gender-specific phenotypes related to the two conditions.

description: Abstract: Thermally modified wood (TMW) is widely used in outdoor applications due to its advanced properties towards weathering stresses. Although the structure changes of TMW from weather factors have been reported, investigation of the quantitative analysis of water states and cell wall structure of TMW after weathering is limited. In this work, the amount of bound water, fiber saturation point (FSP), cell wall pores, and free water distribution of thermally modified Scots pine, Norway spruce, and European ash were measured before and after a 2-year natural weathering via NMR relaxometry, cryoporometry, and magnetic resonance imaging. The results show that weathering increased T2 relaxation time of lumens, indicating the degradation of tracheids and vessels, especially in TMW compared to unmodified wood. The amounts of bound water, FSP value, and cell wall pores were increased after weathering; however, an increase in thermal modification intensity resulted in lower FSP and limited the increase in number of pores. In summary, TMW showed better performance than unmodified wood after weathering.

description: We study the instanton contribution to the proton and neutron electric form factors. Using the single instanton approximation, we perform the calculations in a mixed time-momentum representation in order to obtain the form factors directly in momentum space. We find good agreement with the experimentally measured electric form factor of the proton. For the neutron, our result falls short of the experimental data. We argue that this discrepancy is due to the fact that we neglect the contribution of the sea quarks. We compare to lattice calculations and a relativistic version of the quark-diquark model.

description: Abstract: Background: The multifaceted interactions between gastrointestinal (GI) helminth parasites, host gut microbiota and immune system are emerging as a key area of research within the field of host-parasite relationships. In spite of the plethora of data available on the impact that GI helminths exert on the composition of the gut microflora, whether alterations of microbial profiles are caused by direct parasite-bacteria interactions or, indirectly, by alterations of the GI environment (e.g. mucosal immunity) remains to be determined. Furthermore, no data is thus far available on the downstream roles that qualitative and quantitative changes in gut microbial composition play in the overall pathophysiology of parasite infection and disease. Results: In this study, we investigated the fluctuations in microbiota composition and local immune microenvironment of sheep vaccinated against, and experimentally infected with, the ‘brown stomach worm’ Teladorsagia circumcincta, a parasite of worldwide socio-economic significance. We compared the faecal microbial profiles of vaccinated and subsequently infected sheep with those obtained from groups of unvaccinated/infected and unvaccinated/uninfected animals. We show that alterations of gut microbial composition are associated mainly with parasite infection, and that this involves the expansion of populations of bacteria with known pro-inflammatory properties that may contribute to the immunopathology of helminth disease. Using novel quantitative approaches for the analysis of confocal microscopy-derived images, we also show that gastric tissue infiltration of T cells is driven by parasitic infection rather than anti-helminth vaccination. Conclusions: Teladorsagia circumcincta infection leads to an expansion of potentially pro-inflammatory gut microbial species and abomasal T cells. This data paves the way for future experiments aimed to determine the contribution of the gut flora to the pathophysiology of parasitic disease, with the ultimate aim to design and develop novel treatment/control strategies focused on preventing and/or restricting bacterial-mediated inflammation upon infection by GI helminths.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Electron and photon triggers covering transverse energies from 5 GeV to several TeV are essential for the ATLAS experiment to record signals for a wide variety of physics: from Standard Model processes to searches for new phenomena in both proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. To cope with a fourfold increase of peak LHC luminosity from 2015 to 2018 (Run 2), to 2.1$\times$10$^{34}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, and a similar increase in the number of interactions per beam-crossing to about 60, trigger algorithms and selections were optimised to control the rates while retaining a high efficiency for physics analyses. For proton-proton collisions, the single-electron trigger efficiency relative to a single-electron offline selection is at least 75% for an offline electron of 31 GeV, and rises to 96% at 60 GeV; the trigger efficiency of a 25 GeV leg of the primary diphoton trigger relative to a tight offline photon selection is more than 96% for an offline photon of 30 GeV. For heavy-ion collisions, the primary electron and photon trigger efficiencies relative to the corresponding standard offline selections are at least 84% and 95%, respectively, at 5 GeV above the corresponding trigger threshold.

description: Women appear to have a higher risk for long term restrictions in participation than men. This gender difference is poorly understood, as solely biomedical factors have been examined to date. The aims of this study are (1) to map gender differences in participation outcome one year after stroke, and (2) to identify demographic, stroke-related, or psychological predictors of participation for women and men separately. A total of 326 patients (mean age 66.5 ± 12.4y, 35.0% women) completed the restriction and satisfaction subscales of the Utrecht Scale of Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation (USER-P) at one year after stroke. Bivariate and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Women reported worse scores for restrictions in participation compared to men (median 75.4 versus 87.9 respectively, p = 0.001), especially in physical activities such as daytrips and going out. Satisfaction with participation was similar between women and men. Worse cognitive functioning (β = 0.17) was associated with more restrictions in participation in men only, other predictors of restrictions in participation were similar between women and men. The presence of depressive symptoms (β = -0.49) was associated with worse satisfaction with participation in men, whereas an increased stroke severity (β = -0.29) and the presence of maladaptive psychological factors (β = -0.36) were associated with worse satisfaction with participation in women. Women experience more restrictions in participation compared to men one year after stroke. Taking into account gender-specific predictors of participation in stroke aftercare is important, as different biopsychosocial factors contribute to problems in participation across women and men.

description: With an increase in the detection of structural and functional analogues of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE-5i) in dietary supplements (DS) and foods, public health is threatened. Some products advertise natural ingredients despite containing PDE-5i that can cause serious adverse effects on human health. To avoid detection during routine screening, novel PDE-5i have been synthesised and added to DS and foods. The purpose of this study was to detect, identify, and quantify 94 PDE-5i and related compounds in DS and foods. Furthermore, the study investigated the detection cases and compared them by sample type, formulation, and compounds. The HPLC and LC-MS/MS methods were validated for limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, and recovery in solid and liquid type samples. Both HPLC and LC-MS/MS showed satisfactory results, which were in conformance with the ICH guidelines. A total of 404 samples, including DS (99), and foods (305) were purchased from online and offline markets. Samples divided into 5 types of formulation were analysed; tablet, capsule, pilula (herbal medicine pill), powder and liquid type. Of these 130 samples (47 of 99 DS, and 83 of 305 foods) contained one or more PDE-5i or related compounds. Among the five types of formulation, the tablet type showed the highest detection rate (61.1%) in DS, whereas the capsule type showed the highest detection rate (53.8%) in food samples. This study will be helpful for monitoring illegal ED-related products, providing information to consumers, and ultimately contributing to protecting public health.

description: The design of sensors or "things" as part of the new Internet of Underwater Things (IoUTs) paradigm comes with multiple challenges including limited battery capacity, not polluting the water body, and the ability to track continuously phenomena with high temporal/spatial variability. We claim that traditional digital sensors are incapable to meet these demands because of their high power consumption, high complexity (cost), and the use of non-biodegradable materials. To address the above challenges, we propose a novel architecture consisting of a sensing substrate of dense analog biodegradable sensors over which lies the traditional Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The substrate analog biodegradable sensors perform Shannon mapping (a data-compression technique) using just a single Field Effect Transistor (FET) without the need for power-hungry Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) resulting in much lower power consumption, complexity, and the ability to be powered using only sustainable energy-harvesting techniques. A novel and efficient decoding technique is also presented. Both encoding/decoding techniques have been verified via Spice and MATLAB simulations accounting for underwater acoustic channel variations.

description: We report the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the metal rich host galaxy of superluminous supernova (SLSN) PTF10tpz, a barred spiral galaxy at z=0.03994. We find the CO(1-0) emission to be confined within the bar of the galaxy. The distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the host galaxy resemble gas flows along two lanes running from the tips of the bar towards the galaxy center. These gas lanes end in a gaseous structure in the inner region of the galaxy, likely associated with an inner Lindblad resonance. The interaction between the large-scale gas flows in the bar and the gas in the inner region plausibly leads to the formation of massive molecular clouds and consequently massive clusters. This in turn can result in formation of massive stars, and thus the likely progenitor of the SLSN in a young, massive cluster. This picture is consistent with SLSN PTF10tpz being located near the inner structure. We find the molecular gas in the vicinity of the SLSN to have high surface densities, comparable with those in interacting galaxies or starburst regions in nearby galaxies. This lends support to high densities being favorable conditions for formation of SLSNe progenitors.

description: Stroke survivors face high rates of depression, anxiety, and pseudobulbar affect. Clinicians report lack of clarity on effective non-pharmacological interventions due to uncertainty about treatment options as barriers to evidence-based treatment. No systematic review has investigated the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions on the conditions of depression, anxiety, and pseudo-bulbar affect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions on the outcomes of depression, anxiety, and pseudobulbar affect in post-stroke individuals. Following the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched databases Medline, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsycINFO for randomized controlled trials in English, within 2012–2023, evaluating the effect of a non-pharmacological intervention on depression, anxiety, and/or pseudobulbar affect. Two researchers screened titles, abstracts, and full texts. One researcher extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Data were synthesized narratively. Forty-two studies were included. Intervention types included education (n = 9), psychological therapy (n = 8), and physical exercise (n = 8). Intervention types reporting positive outcomes for depression were psychological therapy (n = 6), physical exercise (n = 3) and robot-assisted therapy (n = 3). Intervention types effective in improving anxiety were physical exercise (n = 2), psychological therapy (n = 3) and multi-modal therapy approaches (n = 2). No studies explored the impact on pseudobulbar affect. Non-pharmacological interventions may be effective in improving mood in stroke survivors. Robot-assisted therapy and physical exercise were seen to improve multiple outcome measures. Patient education should be delivered alongside rehabilitation and directed to both stroke-survivor and caregiver.

The supersymmetries of interest occur when the ratio of the cyclotron frequency to the axial frequency is 3/2 and the particle has anomalous magnetic moment 4/3 or 2/3. At these supersymmetric points, the spectrum shows uniformly spaced crossed levels. The associated superalgebras are su(2|1) and su(1|1). The phase space for this problem has an osp(2|6) structure and contains all the degeneracy superalgebras.

description: Superfluids, such as superfluid $^3\mathrm{He}$ and $^4\mathrm{He}$, exhibit a broad range of quantum phenomena and excitations which are unique to these systems. Nanoscale mechanical resonators are sensitive and versatile force detectors with the ability to operate over many orders of magnitude in damping. Using nanomechanical-doubly clamped beams of extremely high quality factors ($Q>10^6$), we probe superfluid $^4\mathrm{He}$ from the superfluid transition temperature down to $\mathrm{mK}$ temperatures at frequencies up to $11.6 \, \mathrm{MHz}$. Our studies show that nanobeam damping is dominated by hydrodynamic viscosity of the normal component of $^4\mathrm{He}$ above $1\,\mathrm{K}$. In the temperature range $0.3-0.8\,\mathrm{K}$, the ballistic quasiparticles (phonons and rotons) determine the beams' behavior. At lower temperatures, damping saturates and is determined either by magnetomotive losses or acoustic emission into helium. It is remarkable that all these distinct regimes can be extracted with just a single device, despite damping changing over six orders of magnitude.

We apply our method to the cosmological evolution of global strings and evaluate the energy density, peculiar velocity, Lorentz factor, formation rate of loops, and emission rate of Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons. We confirm the scaling behavior with a number of long strings per horizon volume smaller than the case of local strings by a factor of $\sim$ 10. The strategy and the method established here are applicable to a variety of fields in physics.

description: We survey the empirical literature on floating nominal exchange rates over the past decade. Exchange rates are difficult to forecast at short- to medium-term horizons. There is a bit of explanatory power to monetary models such as the Dornbusch "overshooting" theory, in the form of reaction to "news" and in forecasts at long-run horizons. Nevertheless, at short horizons, a driftless random walk characterizes exchange rates better than standard models based on observable macroeconomic fundamentals. Unexplained large shocks to floating rates must then, logically, be due either to innovations in unobservable fundamentals, or to non-fundamental factors such as speculative bubbles. The observed difference in exchange rate and macroeconomic volatility under different nominal exchange rate regimes makes us skeptical of the first view. The theory and evidence on speculative bubbles, however, is not conclusive. We conclude with the hope that promising new studies of the microstructure of the foreign exchange market might eventually rise to insights into these phenomena.

description: Hong Kong's Umbrella Revolution saw some of the city's busiest streets transformed into temporary sites of artistic expression and freedom. This essay explores the everyday items were turned into in-situ tools of protest – in particular, the subversive use of double-decker buses. I analyze how a number of double-decker buses were transformed from a form of moving rhetoric into static, vernacular monuments representing Hong Kong's history and serving as democratic billboards. Through the display of Hong Kong's present (mainlandization), past (colonization), and future (democracy), the city's protesters were, I suggest, able to communicate their fears about the increasing effects of mainlandization in an attempt to shift Hong Kong's political possibilities.

description: We revisit the question of 'hot mode' versus 'cold mode' accretion onto galaxies using steady-state cooling flow solutions and idealized 3D hydrodynamic simulations. We demonstrate that for the hot accretion mode to exist, the cooling time is required to be longer than the free-fall time near the radius where the gas is rotationally-supported, R_circ, i.e. the existence of the hot mode depends on physical conditions at the galaxy scale rather than on physical conditions at the halo scale. When allowing for the depletion of the halo baryon fraction relative to the cosmic mean, the longer cooling times imply that a virialized gaseous halo may form in halo masses below the threshold of ~10^12 M_sun derived for baryon-complete halos. We show that for any halo mass there is a maximum accretion rate for which the gas is virialized throughout the halo and can accrete via the hot mode of Mdot_crit ~ 0.7(v_c/100 km/s)^5.4 (R_circ / 10 kpc) (Z/Z_sun)^-0.9 M_sun / yr, where Z and v_c are the metallicity and circular velocity measured at R_circ. For accretion rates >~Mdot_crit the volume-filling gas phase can in principle be `transonic' -- virialized in the outer halo but cool and free-falling near the galaxy. We compare Mdot_crit to the average star formation rate (SFR) in halos at 0

description: Previous time-series studies have shown evidence of mean-reversion in real exchange rates. Deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP) appear to have half-lives of approximately four years. However, the long samples required for statistical significance are unavailable for most currencies, and are potentially inappropriate because of regime changes. In this study, we re-examine deviations from PPP using a panel of 150 countries and 45 annual post WWII observations. Our panel shows strong evidence of mean-reversion that is similar to that from long time-series. PPP deviations are eroded at a rate of approximately 15 percent annually, i.e., their half-life is around four years. Such findings can be masked in timeseries data, but are relatively easy to find in cross-sections.
Ethnically Chinese and culturally American: Exploring bicultural identity negotiation and co-cultural communication of Chinese-American female adoptees

description: While many studies on international/interracial adoptees were conducted quantitatively with adoptees, or by various research methods from the perspective of adoptive parents, this study seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of how Chinese born, American adopted individuals perceive, make sense of, and negotiate their bicultural identities as they transition into adulthood by exploring the narratives of 10 such women. Grounded in the interpretive paradigm and framed by co-cultural communication theory, our findings not only illustrate the diversity of communication strategies used by these women to negotiate their multifaceted identities while navigating through various situational contexts and life stages, but also unveil the perceived role of adoptive parents in shaping their identity (re)construction. The numerous instances of contradiction throughout each woman’s retrospective sense-making reveals the ambivalences, vulnerabilities, nuanced complexities, and ongoing negotiations that they must engage in as a uniquely positioned co-cultural group.

description: Using the gravity model, we find evidence that the EC affects trade flows. A pair of EC members trade with each other 48 percent more than two otherwise similarly-placed countries. We also find that bilateral exchange rate variability fell by half within Europe during the 1980s, and that this stability worked to increase intra-continental trade by an estimated 5.9 percent. If account is taken of the endogeneity of the currency regime, the estimated effect of bilateral exchange rate variability on trade is much smaller. The political economy part of the paper catalogues ways in which regional arrangements undermine political support for multilateral liberalization, and ways in which they can have the opposite effect.

description: An elegant and uniform relaxation-rate formula is presented for the entropic lattice Boltzmann method (ELBM). The formula not only guarantees the discrete time H-theorem at numerical level but also gives full consideration to the consistency with hydrodynamics. With this novel formula, the computational cost of the ELBM is significantly reduced and the method now can be efficiently used for a broad range of hydrodynamics applications including high Renolds number flows. Moreover, we demonstrate that the grid points where flow fields change drastically are effectively marked by the formula.

description: Refugee resettlement organizations hope that, by acting as intercultural mediators who navigate multiple cultural perspectives and translate them for others, volunteers will foster reciprocal adaptation by refugees and host nationals. However, intercultural mediation is challenging when divergent cultural frameworks generate discomfort or misunderstanding. Based on interviews with refugee resettlement volunteers, this study documents how volunteers positioned themselves in their narratives of interactions with and about refugees and how they attributed authority about what constituted appropriate cultural practices. Analysis of the varied “self” positions that volunteers adopted reveals that even motivated, knowledgeable individuals who want to respect diversity may inadvertently hinder adaptation.

description: The paper examines interest rates in nine Latin American and East Asian countries during the period 1987-1994. The goal is to discover why interest rate's have remained high, failing to converge to U.S. levels, despite capital market liberalization and a resurgence of portfolio capital inflows during the second half of this sample period. Related questions are whether portfolio capital flows are strong enough to equalize expected returns between these "emerging markets" and the U.S., and whether there is any scope left for the authorities to sterilize inflows. The conclusion of the study is that the\e largest single component of the gap in interest rates is expectations of depreciation of the local currencies against the dollar. Key to the analysis is the use of survey data on exchange rate forecasts by market participants. Indicative of integrated financial markets, we also find a big effect of U.S. interest rates on local interest rates, and a highly significant degree of capital flow offset to monetary policy.
