description: This research examines the differences in the way large and small organizations approach software development to better understanding if small organizations should attempt to model large organizations' practices. Practices examined include software development methodology, development tooling, how organizations deal with legacy software, documentation practices, testing practices, and how organizations differ in their code and development practice quality metrics. Mixed method research was applied starting with a qualitative semi-structured survey of 11 participants followed by a broader quantitative survey. Our analysis showed differences that could be statistically tracked to organization size in 4 of the 6 practices researched. Semi-structured interview responses did not always match results from the survey, indicating there may be common misconceptions that do not match reality when it comes to how large and small organizations operate. In one significant finding, a statistical correlation was discovered between large organization size, worker specialization, and the use of formal test plans on a low change failure rate.

description: This work shows that the known phase boundary between the phase with chiral symmetry and the phase of spatially inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in the phase diagram of the $(1 + 1)$-dimensional chiral Gross-Neveu model can be detected from the bosonic two-point function alone and thereby confirms and extends previous results arXiv:hep-th/0008175, arXiv:0807.2571, arXiv:0909.3714, arXiv:1810.03921, arXiv:2203.08503. The analysis is referred to as the stability analysis of the symmetric phase and does not require knowledge about spatial modulations of condensates. We perform this analysis in the infinite-$N$ limit at nonzero temperature and nonzero quark and chiral chemical potentials also inside the inhomogeneous phase. Thereby we observe an interesting relation between the bosonic $1$-particle irreducible two-point vertex function of the chiral Gross-Neveu model and the spinodal line of the Gross-Neveu model.

description: Background: Studies incorporating staff-rated or observational measures of practice leadership have shown that where practice leadership is stronger, active support is better implemented. The study aim was to compare measures of practice leadership used in previous research to determine the extent of their correspondence. Method: A subset of data from a longitudinal study regarding 29 front-line managers working across 36 supported accommodation services in Australia was used. An observed measure of practice leadership, based on an interview and observation of a front-line manager, was compared with ratings of practice leadership completed by staff. The quality of active support was rated after a 2-hour structured observation. Results: Correlations between staff-rated and observed measures were nonsignificant. Only the observed measure was correlated with the quality of active support. Conclusions: This study provides evidence to support using an observational measure of practice leadership rather than reliance on staff ratings.

description: BACKGROUND: Although mobile apps are readily available for speech sound disorders (SSD), their validity has not been systematically evaluated. This evidence-based appraisal will critically review and synthesize current evidence on available therapy apps for use by children with SSD. OBJECTIVE: The main aims are to (1) identify the types of apps currently available for Android and iOS mobile phones and tablets, and (2) to critique their design features and content using a structured quality appraisal tool. METHODS: This protocol paper presents and justifies the methods used for a systematic review of mobile apps that provide intervention for use by children with SSD. The primary outcomes of interest are (1) engagement, (2) functionality, (3) aesthetics, (4) information quality, (5) subjective quality, and (6) perceived impact. Quality will be assessed by 2 certified practicing speech-language pathologists using a structured quality appraisal tool. Two app stores will be searched from the 2 largest operating platforms, Android and iOS. Systematic methods of knowledge synthesis shall include searching the app stores using a defined procedure, data extraction, and quality analysis. RESULTS: This search strategy shall enable us to determine how many SSD apps are available for Android and for iOS compatible mobile phones and tablets. It shall also identify the regions of the world responsible for the apps' development, the content and the quality of offerings. Recommendations will be made for speech-language pathologists seeking to use mobile apps in their clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS: This protocol provides a structured process for locating apps and appraising the quality, as the basis for evaluating their use in speech pathology for children in English-speaking nations.
L’organaria bresciana al servizio delle corti Le commissioni principesche a Facchetti e Antegnati

description: Il contributo ripercorre la storia dell’organaria bresciana rinascimentale attraverso le commesse di strumenti provenienti dalle corti dell’Italia del Nord. La commissione principesca ad un organaro eccellente garantiva visibilità e prestigio al committente, e l’organo, come corpo sonoro con cassa finemente decorata, era una componente del lessico della preminenza. La figura dell’organaro Giovanni Battista Facchetti si intreccia infatti con gli Sforza di Milano e in particolare con Ludovico il Moro, con gli Este di Ferrara, i Gonzaga di Mantova, i procuratori del doge di Venezia e il papa Clemente VII dei Medici. Agli Sforza e alla Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano si lega anche la figura del primo organaro della dinastia degli Antegnati: Bartolomeo. Sarà suo figlio Giovanni Giacomo a ricevere ulteriori committenze eccellenti per la città di Milano, come quella per il Monastero di San Maurizio Maggiore, e a lavorare poi per Ottavio Farnese a Parma, dove suo figlio Benedetto unirà il proprio nome all’organo della Steccata. Commissioni ducali porteranno infine Benedetto a Torino, su richiesta di Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, e suo cugino Graziadio a Mantova, su richiesta di Guglielmo Gonzaga per l’organo della cappella palatina di Santa Barbara.

description: Owing to the outstanding properties provided by nontrivial band topology, topological phases of matter are considered as a promising platform towards low-dissipation electronics, efficient spin-charge conversion, and topological quantum computation. Achieving ferroelectricity in topological materials enables the non-volatile control of the quantum states, which could greatly facilitate topological electronic research. However, ferroelectricity is generally incompatible with systems featuring metallicity due to the screening effect of free carriers. In this study, we report the observation of memristive switching based on the ferroelectric surface state of a topological semimetal (TaSe4)2I. We find that the surface state of (TaSe4)2I presents out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization due to surface reconstruction. With the combination of ferroelectric surface and charge-density-wave-gapped bulk states, an electric switchable barrier height can be achieved in (TaSe4)2I-metal contact. By employing a multi-terminal grounding design, we manage to construct a prototype ferroelectric memristor based on (TaSe4)2I with on/off ratio up to 10^3, endurance over 10^3 cycles, and good retention characteristics. The origin of the ferroelectric surface state is further investigated by first-principles calculations, which reveals an interplay between ferroelectricity and band topology. The emergence of ferroelectricity in (TaSe4)2I not only demonstrates it as a rare but essential case of ferroelectric topological materials, but also opens new routes towards the implementation of topological materials in functional electronic devices.

description: Recent advances in high-throughput technologies have enabled the comprehensive characterization of various cancer types at multiple omic levels. Extracting relevant biological knowledge from this huge amount of information represents a remarkable opportunity in cancerology. However, this achievement is limited by the presence in the data of various overlapping biological factors linked to the tumor cells or to the tumor microenvironment and non biological factors linked to sample processing or data generation. To deconvolute these factors, Independent Component Analysis (ICA), originally developed to solve the blind source separation problem, is perfectly suited. In this work ICA is applied to transcriptomic and methylomic data obtained from 32 different tumor types. Each data matrix is thus decomposed into a number of components, each of which is characterized by an activation pattern both across genes and across samples. Our analysis identified multi-cancer-shared and single-cancer-specific components. Using colorectal cancer (CRC) as a paradigm, we showed that our approach can significantly contribute to the puzzling problem of CRC subtypes identification and characterization. Indeed, the recently published CRC consensus subtypes were consistently retrieved in our analysis and new molecular insights concerning these subtypes were highlighted. Notably, other signals of promising interest, not included in the already known CRC subtypes, were detected. Among them, of particular interest is a component jointly regulated by STAT1 and IRF4. Ongoing analysis aims at comprehensively characterization of all the identified pan-cancer components and at integrating the results obtained with methylomic and transcriptomic data to get more insights on cancer complexity.
Spectroscopic evidence of cool plasma in quiet Sun HRIEUV small scale brightenings

description: Context: A large number of the small and the short-lived EUV brightenings have been detected in the quiet Sun (QS) over the past three years, by the High Resolution Imager of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (HRIEUV) on board Solar Orbiter. It is still uncertain whether these events reach coronal temperatures, and thus if they directly participate to coronal heating.
 Aims: In this work, we evaluate the maximum temperature of 11 EUV brightenings in the QS, through plasma diagnostics involving UV/EUV spectroscopy and imaging.
 Methods: We use three QS observations coordinated between HRIEUV, the Spectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment (SPICE/Solar Orbiter), the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS/Hinode), and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA/SDO). We detected events in HRIEUV, ranging from 0.8 to 6.2 Mm in length. We then identified nine of them in SPICE and AIA, as well as three in EIS. We investigated their temporal evolution using their light curves, and applied temperature diagnostics, such as the LOCI Emission Measure (EM) and the differential EM (DEM). We also estimated the electron density of one event identified in EIS.
 Results: These events are dominated by emission of plasma at chromospheric and TR temperatures, and they barely reach temperatures above 1 MK. As such, we concluded that their contribution to coronal heating is not dominant. The estimated density of one of the event is n$_e$ = (1.8 $\pm$ 1.3) $\times$ $10^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$.

description: We study Einstein's gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics with two parameters in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. Magnetically charged black holes in an extended phase space is investigated. We obtain the mass and metric functions, their asymptotic and corrections to the Reissner--Nordström metric function when the cosmological constant vanishes. The first law of black hole thermodynamics in extended phase space is formulated and the magnetic potential and the thermodynamic conjugate to the coupling are obtained. We proved the generalized Smarr relation. The heat capacity and the Gibbs free energy are computed and phase transitions are studied. It was shown that the electric field of charged objects at the origin and electrostatic self-energy are finite within the nonlinear electrodynamics proposed.

description: We apply continuous similarity transformations (CSTs) to study the zero-temperature breakdown of long-range ordered quantum antiferromagnets. The CST flow equations are truncated in momentum space by the scaling dimension so that all operators with scaling dimension up to two are taken into account. We determine the quantum phase transition out of the Néel-ordered phase in the unfrustrated square lattice Heisenberg bilayer as well as the quantum melting of the Néel-ordered and columnar phase in the highly frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ model on the square lattice. In all cases the CST is set up to isolate the ground state so that the stability of the flow equations, the ground-state energy, and the sublattice magnetization are used to explore the long-range ordered phases. We extract quantum-critical points which agree well with values in the literature. Further, we estimate the associated critical exponents $α$ and $β$ which turns out to be a challenging task for the CST approach.

description: We compared the outcome of mating programs based on different evaluation models that included nonadditive genetic effects (dominance and heterozygosity) in addition to additive effects. The additive and dominance marker effects and the values of regression on average heterozygosity were estimated using 632,003 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 7,902 and 7,510 Holstein cows with calving interval and production (milk, fat, and protein yields) records, respectively. Expected progeny values were computed based on the estimated genetic effects and genotype probabilities of hypothetical progeny from matings between the available genotyped cows and the top 50 young genomic bulls. An index combining the traits based on their economic values was developed and used to evaluate the performance of different mating scenarios in terms of dollar profit. We observed that mating programs with nonadditive genetic effects performed better than a model with only additive effects. Mating programs with dominance and heterozygosity effects increased milk, fat, and protein yields by up to 38, 1.57, and 1.21 kg, respectively. The inclusion of dominance and heterozygosity effects decreased calving interval by up to 0.70 d compared with random mating. The average reduction in progeny inbreeding by the inclusion of nonadditive genetic effects in matings compared with random mating was between 0.25 to 1.57 and 0.64 to 1.57 percentage points for calving interval and production traits, respectively. The reduction in inbreeding was accompanied by an average of A$8.42 (Australian dollars) more profit per mating for a model with additive, dominance, and heterozygosity effects compared with random mating. Mate allocations that benefit from nonadditive genetic effects can improve progeny performance only in the generation where it is being implemented, and the gain from specific combining abilities cannot be accumulated over generations. Continuous updating of genomic predictions and mate allocation programs are required to benefit from nonadditive genetic effects in the long term.

Within this framework, we define discrete versions of the exterior covariant derivative operator and its adjoint, which capture essential geometric features similar to their continuous counterparts. Our focus is on discrete models defined on a combinatorial torus, where the discrete Yang-Mills equations are presented in the form of both a system of difference equations and a matrix form.

description: Tra le composizioni musicali di autori bresciani dedicati ai santi patroni Faustino e Giovita un posto di rilievo lo occupano i tre canoni di Stefano Pasini posti in apertura della GVIDA, E CONSEQVENTI Dell’Opra Composta in Canoni (Giuseppe Sala, Venezia 1677), raccolta interamente costituita da musiche polifoniche vocali e sonate strumentali in scrittura canonica. Il maggiore di essi, a quattro voci, si svolge come un canone figurato a forma di croce e può essere considerato uno degli ultimi esempi di quella ricca tradizione attestata soprattutto nel Cinquecento e nella prima metà del Seicento, mentre i due minori, entrambi a due voci, si ispirano ad alcune vicende della vita dei due santi. L’analisi dei testi poetici intonati, degli estesi paratesti e la trascrizione in notazione moderna, intendono sottolineare l’originalità di un omaggio musicale di alto valore simbolico e votivo.

description: Objectives: Administration of sodium selenate to rats given traumatic brain injury (TBI) attenuates brain damage and improves long-term behavioural outcomes. We have previously provided evidence that TBI causes bone loss in rats, however the effect of sodium selenate treatment on bone quantity following TBI is unknown. Methods: Rats were randomly assigned into sham injury or fluid percussion injury (FPI) groups and administered saline or sodium selenate for 12 weeks post-injury. Femora were analysed using histomorphometry, peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and biomechanical testing. Results: Distal metaphyseal trabecular bone volume fraction of FPI-selenate rats was higher than FPI-vehicle rats (41.8%; p<0.01), however, femora from selenate-treated groups were shorter in length (4.3%; p<0.01) and had increased growth plate width (22.1%; p<0.01), indicating that selenate impaired long bone growth. pQCT analysis demonstrated that distal metaphyseal cortical thickness was decreased in TBI rats compared to shams (11.7%; p<0.05), however selenate treatment to TBI animals offset this reduction (p<0.05). At the midshaft we observed no differences in biomechanical measures. Conclusion: These are the first findings to indicate that mitigating TBI-induced neuropathology may have the added benefit of preventing osteoporosis and associated fracture risk following TBI.

title: THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX: WHEN DO HUMAN PROBLEM SOLVERS OFFLOAD COGNITION?
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: The common main objectives across the three studies presented in the present dissertation lie in improving the understanding of parameters that influence a human problem solver’s decision to use environment-based external instead of brain-based internal resources. In Study 1, it was shown that a human problem solver’s inclination to offload cognition depends on both monitoring the external resource’s actual performance as well as on pre-existing beliefs about the external resource’s performability, indicating comparable importance of both factors. In Study 2, it was shown that a human problem solver’s inclination to offload cognition also depends on the performability of the internal brain-based resources that are relevant for the task at hand. Good internal performability decreased cognitive offloading frequency even when the task at hand looked comparably difficult, thereby suggesting that internal performability can supersede task appearance in determining offloading propensity. Both Study 1 and Study 2 showed the human problem solver’s sensitivity to performance parameters for determining cognitive offloading frequency. In Study 3, this sensitivity to performance parameters was investigated further. Specifically, it was investigated whether human problem solvers are able to choose between internal and external processing in a way that serves their current performance goals—in Study 3 accuracy or speed—or whether they prefer different heuristics like minimizing mental effort or maximizing certain performance metrics like speed irrespectively of the current goal. Results of Study 3 confirmed the former, indicating the human problem solver’s capability of choosing between internal and external resources to achieve current performance goals.

description: With the use of chiral organic cations in two-dimensional metal halide perovskites, chirality can be induced in the metal halide layers, which results in semiconductors with intriguing chiral optical and spin-selective transport properties. The chiral properties strongly depend upon the temperature, despite the basic crystal symmetry not changing fundamentally. We identify a set of descriptors that characterize the chirality of metal halide perovskites such as MBA$_{2}$PbI$_{4}$, and study their temperature dependence using molecular dynamics simulations with on-the-fly machine-learning force fields obtained from density functional theory calculations. We find that, whereas the arrangement of organic cations remains chiral upon increasing the temperature, the inorganic framework loses this property more rapidly. We ascribe this to the breaking of hydrogen bonds that link the organic with the inorganic substructures, which leads to a loss of chirality transfer.

description: Introduction Corticosteroid injections and foot orthoses are common interventions for plantar heel pain. Previous clinical trials have found that the effectiveness of these interventions differs over time, with corticosteroid injections being more effective in the short-term (i.e. 0–4 weeks) and foot orthoses more effective in the longer-term (i.e. 5–12 weeks). However, some of these trials have methodological weaknesses that could have caused confounding and bias, which may have led to over- or under-estimation of the effectiveness of these interventions. As a result, there is a need to compare the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections and foot orthoses in a robust clinical trial with an appropriate follow-up time. Methods This article describes the protocol for a pragmatic, parallel-group assessor-blinded randomised trial (Steroid injection versus foot orthoses (SOOTHE) heel pain trial). One hundred participants with plantar heel pain will be randomly allocated (i.e. two groups of approximately 50) to receive either an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection or prefabricated foot orthoses. Outcome measures will be obtained at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, with two primary endpoints at 4 and 12 weeks to reflect the hypothesised temporal effects of each intervention. The primary outcome measure will be the foot pain domain of the Foot Health Status Questionnaire. Trial registration Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry number ACTRN12615001266550.

description: It is usually assumed that performance on non-verbal intelligence tests reflects visual cognitive processing and that aspects of working memory (WM) will be involved. However, the unique contribution of memory to non-verbal scores is not clear, nor is the unique contribution of vocabulary. Thus, we aimed to investigate these contributions. Non-verbal test scores for 17 individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and 39 children with typical development (TD) of similar mental age were compared to determine the unique contribution of visual and verbal short-term memory (STM) and WM and the additional variance contributed by vocabulary scores. No significant group differences were found in the non-verbal test scores or receptive vocabulary scores, but there was a significant difference in expressive vocabulary. Regression analyses indicate that for the TD group STM and WM (both visual and verbal) contributed similar variance to the non-verbal scores. For the ID group, visual STM and verbal WM contributed most of the variance to the non-verbal test scores. The addition of vocabulary scores to the model contributed greater variance for both groups. More unique variance was contributed by vocabulary than memory for the TD group, whereas for the ID group memory contributed more than vocabulary. Visual and auditory memory and vocabulary contributed significantly to solving visual non-verbal problems for both the TD group and the ID group. However, for each group, there were different weightings of these variables. Our findings indicate that for individuals with TD, vocabulary is the major factor in solving non-verbal problems, not memory, whereas for adolescents with ID, visual STM, and verbal WM are more influential than vocabulary, suggesting different pathways to achieve solutions to non-verbal problems.

description: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a group parenting intervention designed to strengthen the home learning environment of children from disadvantaged families. Two cluster randomised controlled superiority trials were conducted in parallel and delivered within existing services: a 6-week parenting group (51 locations randomised; 986 parents) for parents of infants (aged 6–12 months), and a 10-week facilitated playgroup (58 locations randomised; 1200 parents) for parents of toddlers (aged 12–36 months). Each trial had three conditions: intervention (smalltalk group-only); enhanced intervention with home coaching (smalltalk plus); and ‘standard’/usual practice controls. Parent-report and observational measures were collected at baseline, 12 and 32 weeks follow-up. Primary outcomes were parent verbal responsivity and home learning activities at 32 weeks. In the infant trial, there were no differences by trial arm for the primary outcomes at 32 weeks. In the toddler trial at 32-weeks, participants in the smalltalk group-only trial showed improvement compared to the standard program for parent verbal responsivity (effect size (ES) = 0.16; 95% CI 0.01, 0.36) and home learning activities (ES = 0.17; 95% CI 0.01, 0.38) but smalltalk plus did not. For the secondary outcomes in the infant trial, several initial differences favouring smalltalk plus were evident at 12 weeks, but not maintained to 32 weeks. For the toddler trial, differences in secondary outcomes favouring smalltalk plus were evident at 12 weeks and maintained to 32 weeks. These trials provide some evidence of the benefits of a parenting intervention focused on the home learning environment for parents of toddlers but not infants.

description: Particle accelerators are time-varying systems whose components are perturbed by external disturbances. Tuning accelerators can be a time-consuming process involving manual adjustment of multiple components, such as RF cavities, to minimize beam loss due to time-varying drifts. The high dimensionality of the system ($\sim$100 amplitude and phase RF settings in the LANSCE accelerator) makes it difficult to achieve optimal operation. The time-varying drifts and the dimensionality make system parameter estimation a challenging optimization problem. In this work, we propose a Variational Autoencoded Latent Regression (VALeR) model for robust estimation of system parameters using 2D unique projections of a charged particle beam's 6D phase space. In VALeR, VAE projects the phase space projections into a lower-dimensional latent space, and a dense neural network maps the latent space onto the space of system parameters. The trained network can predict system parameters for unseen phase space projections. Furthermore, VALeR can generate new projections by randomly sampling the latent space of VAE and also estimate the corresponding system parameters.
