description: An experimental method to calculate lift using static pressure ports on the wind tunnel walls and its associated limits has been explored in this paper. While the wall-pressure measurement (WPM) technique for lift calculation has been implemented by other researchers, there is a lack of literature on the sensitivity of the WPM method to test section size, airfoil chord, and model thickness. Chord sensitivity studies showed that the airfoil chord plays an important role in the accuracy of the measurements and needs to be appropriately sized for a given test section dimensions for optimum performance of the WPM method. A chord sensitivity parameter ($CSP$) was formulated and a lower limit ($=0.025$) was established to relate the ideal chord-length to wind tunnel test-section dimensions to ensure best lift measuring capabilities. Finally, a combination of symmetric and cambered airfoils with thicknesses varying from $6\%-21\%$ were tested and successfully validated against reference data for a freestream chord Reynolds number range of 100,000 to 550,000. The WPM method was found to be sensitive to varying surface flow conditions and airfoil thickness and has been shown to be a viable replacement to traditional lift measurement techniques using load balances or surface pressure ports.

description: L’articolo intende porre l’accento su alcuni contesti del complesso funerario di Via delle Fornaci a Capua indagato tra gli anni 60 e 80 da W. Johannowsky. Nel periodo compreso tra la seconda metà dell’VIII e la metà del VII secolo a.C. (Capua IIB-III) l’osservazione della topografia di alcuni lembi di necropoli mostra la presenza di fenomeni strutturati di occupazione dello spazio funerario. Di rilievo l’identificazione di raggruppamenti di sepolture incentrati attorno ad una sepoltura più antica e di particolari modalità di deposizione dedicate alle sepolture di sub-adulti, che sembrerebbero sottendere l’esistenza di legami genealogici perpetuati nel tempo.

title: The Social Identity Motives Behind Conspiracy Beliefs and Intentions
Creators: name: Biddlestone, Mikey
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The main aim of this thesis is to explore the role that social motives play in the formation of conspiracist beliefs and intentions. Chapter 1 provides an overview of past work on the group processes and intergroup relations associated with conspiracy beliefs. Subsequent chapters use a social psychological perspective to answer three related questions: 1) what are the social motives associated with conspiracy beliefs (Chapter 2), 2) which ideological and identity motives are associated with conspiracy beliefs among members of social groups of different status (Chapter 3), and 3) can social identity motives help us understand how certain individuals not only believe in conspiracy theories, but are also willing to engage in conspiratorial plots (Chapter 4)? I have applied meta-analytic techniques to answer the first question, showing that conspiracy beliefs appear to be born out of attempts to enhance and defend the self-image, compensate for feelings of social exclusion, and defend the group image. I used multigroup analysis of cross-sectional survey designs to investigate the second question, showing that ethnic collective narcissism is underpinned by opposing ideologies depending on the social status of the group in question. Finally, I used standard regression analyses of similar cross-sectional survey designs to inform our understanding of the third question, showing that collective narcissists are not only particularly willing to believe in conspiracy theories, but they are also willing to conspire against fellow ingroup members. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed, including the need to implement more experimental or longitudinal designs.

description: We have calculated the vibrational dynamics and thermodynamics for Cu adatom hopping on terraces and near step edges on Cu(100) and Cu(110), using the embedded atom method for the interatomic potential. The local vibrational densities of states were calculated using real space Green's function formalism and the thermodynamical functions were evaluated in the harmonic approximation. The calculated diffusion energy barriers for six specific local environments on Cu(100) agree well with experimental and previous theoretical results. Contribution of vibrational entropy to the change in the free energy of the system as the adatom moves from the equilibrium configuration (hollow site) to the saddle point, is found to be as much as 55meV (144 meV) at 300K (600K). The prefactors for all 13 cases are found to be of the order of 10-3 cm2/s, almost independent of temperature, and the respective activation energy barriers.

description: RET proto-oncogene encodes receptor tyrosine kinase. Selpercatinib and pralsetinib are the only RET-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors approved by FDA in RET-altered tumors. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, WOS, and Clinicaltrials.gov. Objective-response, complete-response, and partial-response were 60–89%, 0–11%, and 55–89%, respectively, with the use of RET-specific drugs. ≥Grade 3 adverse events were seen in 28–53% of the patients, with hypertension, change in ALT, QT prolongation, neutropenia, and pneumonitis among the common side effects. Hence, selpercatinib and pralsetinib were effective and well tolerated by most of the patients with RET-altered tumors.

description: We give a new way of looking at the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi (CFN) decomposition of the Yang-Mills theory to answer how the enlarged local gauge symmetry respected by the CFN variables is restricted to obtain another Yang-Mills theory with the same local and global gauge symmetries as the original Yang-Mills theory. This may shed new light on the fundamental issue of the discrepancy between two theories for independent degrees of freedom and the role of the Maximal Abelian gauge in Yang-Mills theory. As a byproduct, this consideration gives new insight into the meaning of the gauge invariance and the observables, e.g., a gauge-invariant mass term and vacuum condensates of mass dimension two. We point out the implications for the Skyrme--Faddeev model.

description: We perform a comprehensive study of stability of a pumped atom laser in the presence of pumping, damping and outcoupling. We also introduce a realistic feedback scheme to improve stability by extracting energy from the condensate and determine its effectiveness. We find that while the feedback scheme is highly efficient in reducing condensate fluctuations, it usually does not alter the stability class of a particular set of pumping, damping and outcoupling parameters.

The role of harmony in expressed meter : a historical review and its placement in current pedagogy
Creators: name: McDonald, Kari Jacinda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Current curricula for beginning courses in undergraduate tonal-music theory are mainly oriented towards composition. However, most undergraduate students are performers, and this pedagogical orientation provides little basis for them to improve their performances through music analysis. They especially lack the ability to locate and project metrical shifts and changes, often resulting in stilted performances that rigidly adhere to the notated meter. Instruction in how to analyze such "expressed" meter should enable students to locate accentual shifts themselves, and provide them with a better understanding of the pieces they are playing. This thesis examines how several current undergraduate textbooks deal with issues of expressed meter, and reviews non-pedagogical studies of the last half century that have given expressed meter more attention. The studies assert that accents of harmony are accentually most salient, and so can change metrical perception. Accordingly, the thesis provides a lesson plan for a unit on the relation of harmony and expressed meter that complements the current undergraduate curriculum, integrating the issues of metric perception discussed in the textbooks with those set forth in current theoretical studies. The concepts and vocabulary it presents will help students analyze the perceived meter of the tonal music they are performing.
«Corinto di Zeus»: lirica ed epos nella Nemea VII di Pindaro (Nem. VII 102-105)
Creators: name: Ranno, Alessio
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2021

description: I versi finali della Nemea VII di Pindaro (Nem. vii 102-5) sono stati spesso interpretati come un rimando allusivo al Peana VI, e dunque come prova testuale della cosiddetta “teoria dell’apologia”. Al di là del nesso intertestuale fra i due carmi, essi risultano comprensibili all’interno della logica del carme, alla luce della polemica di Pindaro con le menzogne della tradizione culturale pregressa (Omero per la presunta virtù di Odisseo, la vulgata panellenica in senso lato per la presunta empietà di Neottolemo) su cui si impernia la sezione mitica dell’ode: il poeta dichiara di non aver «oltraggiato Neottolemo con parole immutabili» (ἀτρόποισι Νεοπτόλεμον ἑλκύσαι ἔπεσι) in contrasto con i racconti ripetitivi e menzogneri della tradizione. In quest’ottica propongo una lettura possibilmente originale dell’espressione μαψυλάκας Διὸς Κόρινθος («colui che abbaia l’antifona “Corinto di Zeus”»), non solo come esempio di monotona ripetitività, ma anche e soprattutto di alterazione della verità, nella misura in cui innescherebbe per contrasto un implicito richiamo allusivo, verosimilmente intuibile per gli Egineti di etnia dorica, all’autorità dell’epos corinzio e “dorico” in senso lato di Eumelo di Corinto.

We introduce a new observable from the dependence of the heavy-light effective energy on the twisted boundary condition parameter $θ$, which could be used to match the kinetic term $\vec{D}^2/(2m)$. Carrying out quenched QCD simulations for fixed lattice spacing in small volumes with O(a)-improved Wilson fermions, we study the 1/m dependence of this observable, from which the static limit and 1/m coefficient can be extracted. We also compare our preliminary result with HQET.

Subjects: School of leadership studies

description: 2023
description: Psychological safety in healthcare supports individual well-being, team performance, and patient quality of care. This study asked, “How might I foster psychological safety as a frontline healthcare professional in a nonpositional leadership role within the context of a cardiothoracic program?” I applied a first-person-focused action research methodology and utilized daily journaling and semistructured interviews with research participants. Thematic analysis identified themes that captured the relationship between self-perception, self-worth, and social interaction and its influence on individual experiences of psychological safety. Findings suggested self-reflection, emotional intelligence, and self-compassion can enhance individual awareness of positive attributes, contributing to a sense of connectedness at the team level. This research offered recommendations for supporting self-empowerment and self-worth in healthcare workers, encouraging their active participation in creating high-quality relationships. Future research implications explore the potential dynamic and synergistic relationship between self-compassion and psychological safety.

We studied, for the first time, the fractional rms amplitude of the mHz QPOs vs. energy in 4U 1636-53 down to 0.2 keV. We find that, as the energy increases from 0.2 keV to 3 keV, the rms amplitude of the mHz QPOs increases, different from the decreasing trend that has been previously observed above 3 keV. This finding has not yet been predicted by any current theoretical model, however, it provides an important observational feature to speculate whether a newly discovered mHz oscillation originates from the marginally stable nuclear burning process on the neutron star surface.

description: PWR is a participatory poverty assessment method that uses the ratings of local reference groups concerning the relative poverty status of households in their community. This paper assesses the accuracy of PWR in predicting absolute (income) poverty, and compares PWR with three other poverty assessment methods. Using a village census in 8 villages located in three of the six divisions of Bangladesh, 1660 households have been scored using the PWR method. A randomly selected subsample of 320 households was interviewed with a questionnaire employing the Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS) method. The data allow the identification of households that have per-capita expenditures below the international poverty line of 1 dollar a day. Our results show that calibrated PWR scores can achieve an accuracy of 70 to 79 percent, i.e. up to 8 out of 10 households are correctly predicted as to whether they live in extreme poverty or not. As expected, the so-called Total Accuracy of PWR is higher if its scores are calibrated at lower geographical level, and highest if calibrated at the community level. For the case of Bangladesh, the results confirm the accuracy of PWR as a poverty targeting method for development policies and projects if used at the community level.
An Easy-to-Implement Hierarchical Standardization for Variable Selection Under Strong Heredity Constraint

description: For many practical problems, the regression models follow the strong heredity property (also known as the marginality), which means they include parent main effects when a second-order effect is present. Existing methods rely mostly on special penalty functions or algorithms to enforce the strong heredity in variable selection. We propose a novel hierarchical standardization procedure to maintain strong heredity in variable selection. Our method is effortless to implement and is applicable to any variable selection method for any type of regression. The performance of the hierarchical standardization is comparable to that of the regular standardization. We also provide robustness checks and real data analysis to illustrate the merits of our method.

description: This study employs a stochastic frontier approach to examine profit efficiency of small scale rice farmers in Nigeria using farm-level survey data collected from 200 farmers in the study area. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and standard profit function. The result shows that about 60 percent of potential profit is gain due to production efficiency while the remaining can be attributed to both technical and allocative inefficiencies in the study area. Also, the result further revealed that age, educational level, farming experience and household size positively affected profit efficiency. These variables are thus important in policy formulation by government.

Charity sector and Church of England ABSTRACT: The undertstanding signed on 30 july 2019 between the Italian Republic and Association “Church of England”, representing in Italy the Anglican Confession Church of England, renewed the doctrinal debate on ecclesiastical entities and their location in the non profit universe, organically revised by legislative Decree n. 117/2017. In particular, art. 8, third paragraph, of the agreement in question allows the recognition in Italy of ecclesiastical entities that carry out overseas a "prevalent religion and cult activity", for the implementation of which the use of trust is widespread. It’s, therefore, essential, in order to understand the systematic consequences of this choice of undertstanding, to define the characteristics of the third sector in the British legal system, showing particolar attention to the heterogeneous modes of attribution of charitable status, to the regulatory and taxes linked to it and, even more, the concept of advancement of religion as elaborated by the decision of the Charity Commission and, in the review, the High Court. For the same purpose it’s indispensabile to begin the study of the administration of ecclesastical goods in the Church of England and in the Anglican Communion, together with the principles on which it is inspired.

Changes in Yield Stability: Wheat and Maize in Developing Countries

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2006
Subjects: Crop Production/Industries

description: This study asks whether the diffusion of modern varieties has affected the yield stability of wheat and maize production in developing countries between 1960 and 2004. The data suggest strongly that, over the past forty-plus years, there has been a striking decline in the relative variability of grain yields in wheat and (to a lesser extent) maize. The declines are strongest when measured as the standard deviation of yield divided by the mean, but there have also been declines in other measures of variability, such as the percentage deviation from trend. Declines in yield variability do not appear to be driven by increases in intensification (e.g., irrigation), nor do they appear to extend to crops, such as oilseeds, in which there has been little concerted public sector breeding effort. Instead, they appear to reflect changes in the portfolio of varieties being grown, possibly in response to breeding efforts aimed at disease and pest problems. By reducing the fluctuations in grain yields, researchers may have played a significant role in making modern crop technology attractive and accessible to farmers around the globe.

Ethnic-religious minorities in times of Covid-19: China and the Uighur minority, between violations of human rights and violations of the right to health ABSTRACT: The recent outbreak of Covid-19 that originated in China, has brought the matter of state sponsored persecution of the Uighur minority in Xinjiang to the attention of the international community. The problem of discrimination and persecution of such ethno-religious minority is not new. However, the spread of epidemic, has represented an opportunity for the Chinese national authorities to tighten the measures which have long been adopted against the Uighur minority. This paper aims at highlighting the great impact Covid-19 has had on the repression of Uighur minority since it has led to a dramatic escalation of the systematic violation of human rights which includes not only mass detention in internment camps but also the violation of other fundamental human rights such as the right to health and to access healthcare

description: Nano-biosensing has piqued the interest of scientists due to its flexible treatment process and sensitive real-time monitoring capabilities. As a result, biological detectors that cater to the needs of humans, nature, and the world have been developed. Currently, the market demands smaller and more energy-efficient memory architecture, leading to the emergence of new designs beyond the limitations of CMOS technology and Neumann architectures. Nonvolatile memories (NVMs), also known as memristors, offer a range of benefits, including high density, low energy consumption, and memory effect capability. Additionally, they maintain signal and thermal integrity, reduce costs, and provide advanced sensing capabilities. In summary, memristors have the potential to revolutionize nonvolatile memory.Our research focuses on an innovative approach to detect biomolecules using a smart memristive crossbar (MRC) nanodetecting platform to detect biomolecules and ensure efficient data collection and processing.  We strive to model a nanosensor with low power consumption that relies on advanced machine learning (ML) techniques to carry out both computing and sensing tasks, ensuring highly accurate and efficient detection of biomolecules. This makes it an invaluable tool for a wide range of scientific and medical applications.  We conducted a series of simulations to model a multiphysics-based physical memristive model, based on an existing study, accurately quantifies and elucidates the intricacies of dynamic memristive switching.  The explanatory model investigates the various factors influencing the resistive switching behavior. Furthermore, in the light of delving the merits of ML in the realm of biosensing, a plethora of machine learning classification models have been proposed to precisely forecast the optimal biomolecules.Our current outcomes have been confirmed using multiphysics indicating the potential for a reliable and seamless AI-powered biosensing platform. These findings have significant implications for real-world applications and suggest that this technology could revolutionize the way we monitor and analyze various biological systems.

description: : Understanding the correlations between magnetic nanoparticles is important for nanotechnologies, such as high-density magnetic recording and biomedical applications, where functionalized magnetic particles are used as contrast agents and for drug delivery. The ability to control the magnetic state of individual particles depends on the good knowledge of magnetic correlations between particles when assembled. Inaccessible via standard magnetometry techniques, nanoscale magnetic ordering in self-assemblies of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is here unveiled via x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS). Measured throughout the magnetization process, the XRMS signal reveals size-dependent inter-particle magnetic correlations. Smaller (5 nm) particles show little magnetic correlation, even when tightly close-packed, yielding to mostly magnetic disorder in the absence of external field, which is characteristic of superparamagnetic behavior. In contrast, larger (11 nm) particles tend to be strongly correlated, yielding a mix of magnetic orders including ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic orders. These strong magnetic correlations are present even when the particles are sparsely distributed.

description: We study dyonic solutions to the gravity-dilaton-antisymmetric form equations with the goal of identifying new $p$-brane solutions on the fluxed linear dilaton background. Starting with the generic solutions constructed by reducing the system to decoupled Liouville equations for certain values of parameters, we identify the most general solution whose singularities are hidden behind a regular event horizon, and then explore the admissible asymptotic behaviors. In addition to known asymptotically flat dyonic branes, we find two classes of asymptotically non-flat solutions which can be interpreted as describing magnetically charged branes on the electrically charged linear dilaton background (and the $S$-dual configuration of electrically charged branes on the magnetically charged background), and uncharged black branes on the dyonically charged linear dilaton background. This interpretation is shown to be consistent with the first law of thermodynamics for the new solutions.

description: Erosion of trade preferences currently being enjoyed by LDCs and some developing countries remain an important area in the on-going trade negotiations. The different positions regarding the preference erosion question besides being informed by political economy considerations are also founded on empirical results of this particular question. But does the methodology used for the empirical analysis matter? In this paper, the importance of preference erosion question due to MFN liberalisation on agriculture is analyzed. Drawing from the potential complementary strengths in triangulation, the paper uses both partial and general equilibrium analyses. The paper shows that the ranking of preference erosion as an issue of policy concern is influenced by the empirical methodology adopted. However, irrespective of the rank, the paper concludes that preference erosion is an important issue not only in terms of welfare, but also as it has impacts on incomes for preference receiving countries.

description: We have identified a large-scale structure traced by galaxies at z=0.8, within the Lockman Hole, by means of multi-object spectroscopic observations. By using deep XMM images we have investigated the soft X-ray emission from the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) expected to be associated with this large-scale structure and we set a tight upper limit to its flux in the very soft 0.2-0.4 keV band. The non-detection requires the WHIM at these redshifts to be cooler than 0.1 keV. Combined with the WHIM emission detections at lower redshift, our result indicates that the WHIM temperature is rapidly decreasing with redshift, as expected in popular cosmological models.

description: The demand for smartness in embedded systems has been mounting up drastically in the past few years. Embedded system today must address the fundamental challenges introduced by cloud computing and artificial intelligence. KubeEdge [1] is an edge computing framework build on top of Kubernetes [2]. It provides compute resource management, deployment, runtime and operation capabilities on geo-located edge computing resources, from the cloud, which is a natural fit for embedded systems. Here we propose KubeEdge.AI, an edge AI framework on top of KubeEdge. It provides a set of key modules and interfaces: a data handling and processing engine, a concise AI runtime, a decision engine, and a distributed data query interface. KubeEdge.AI will help reduce the burdens for developing specific edge/embedded AI systems and promote edge-cloud coordination and synergy.

description: Controlling for spatial effects in micro-economic studies of consumer and producer behavior necessitates a range of analytical modifications ranging from modest changes in data collection and the definition of variables to dramatic changes in the modeling of consumer and producer decision-making. This paper discusses conceptual, empirical, and data issues involved in modeling the spatial aspects of economic behavior in data rich environments. Attention is given to established and emerging agricultural economic applications of spatial data and spatial econometric methods at the micro-scale. Recent applications of individual and household data are featured, including models of land-use change at the urban-rural interface, agricultural land values, and technological change and technology adoption.

description: Melanoleuca is one of the taxonomically most complicated genera of Agaricomycetes. The aim of this study is a taxonomic revision of European specimens confused with M. angelesiana A.H. Sm. and a delimitation of four species, M. brachyspora Harmaja, M. graminicola (Velen.) Kühner & Maire, M. rufipes Bon and M. stridula (Fr.) Singer. The research is based on macro- and micromorphological characters and the multigene phylogenetic analyses of a combined (ITS, rpb2, and tef1) dataset. According to the results, two new species are proposed: M. monticola sp. nov. accommodating European specimens previously confused with the species M. angelesiana from America and M. romanensis sp. nov. from Italy. Moreover, American specimens identified as M. angelesiana belong to three different phylogenetic species (M. angelesiana sensu typi, M. acystidiata aff., and one more separate lineage). M. graminicola is emended and the respective epitype designated. An identification key to the European species of subg. Urticocystis is provided.

description: We herein present a case report of a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous-melanocytic tumour (SMT) in his anal region, comprised of two intermingled different phenotypic lesions. This dual tumour is quite uncommon and could potentially be challenging on both diagnose and also management. It is the first case reported on this location, moreover, the lack of consensus for these lesions makes it difficult to classify them. We reviewed the literature of similar SMT’s and discussed its histogenesis. As they are rare, their biological behavior and potential metastasis remain unclear. Therefore, close follow-up is advised.
Light-cone sum rules in soft-collinear effective theory

description: We derive light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) for exclusive B-meson decays into light energetic hadrons from correlation functions within soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). In these sum rules the short-distance scale refers to ``hard-collinear'' interactions with virtualities of order (Lambda_{QCD}*m_b). Hard scales (related to virtualities of order m_b^2) are integrated out and enter via external coefficient functions in the sum rule. Soft dynamics is encoded in light-cone distribution amplitudes for the B-meson, which describe both the factorizable and non-factorizable contributions to exclusive B-meson decay amplitudes. As an example, we provide a detailed study of the SCET sum rule for the B -> pi transition form factor at large recoil, including radiative corrections from hard-collinear loop diagrams at first order in the strong coupling constant. We find remarkable conceptual and numerical differences with the heavy-quark limit of the conventional LCSR approach in QCD.

description: The numerical solutions of the nonrelativistic and relativistic Boltzmann equations have been studied at various initial conditions. Particularly, the known analytical solution of the nonrelativistic Boltzmann equation at spherically symmetric Gaussian initial conditions has been recovered and the corresponding conservation of particle spectra and correlation functions has been confirmed. Similar conservation properties have been found also for a more general class of solutions describing the nonrelativistic and relativistic systems at anisotropic initial conditions.
