description: We propose an environment for modelling an industry producing differentiated brands which are partially compatible with each other. We show that when each brand is supported by its brand specific supporting services, a firm may increase the variety of its supporting services and its market share by reducing the degree of compatibility of its machine with other machines' supporting services. However, when a firm is not supported by its brand specific supporting services, it can only gain additional market share when it increases the compatibility of its machine. We also show that consumers benefit when machines become more compatible. However, consumers may become worse off and producers become better off when the products become one hundred percent compatible.
Velocity of galaxies with different luminosity

description: We present the first determination of the pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies at different luminosity with the final release of the Two-Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Our result surprisingly shows that the random velocities of the faint galaxies are very high, around $ 700 \kms$, reaching similar values as the brightest galaxies. At intermediate luminosities slightly brighter than the characteristic luminosity $M_\star$, the velocities exhibit a well defined steep minimum near $ 400 \kms$. The result challenges the current halo model of galaxies of Yang et al. that was obtained by matching the clustering and luminosity function of 2dFGRS, and can be an important constraint in general on theories of galaxy formation, e.g., the semi-analytical model. Combining the observed luminosity dependence of clustering, our result implies that quite a fraction of faint galaxies are in massive halos of galaxy clusters as the brightest ones, but most of the $M_\star$ galaxies are in galactic halos.

title: Markov chain Monte Carlo analyses of longitudinal biomedical magnetic resonance data
Creators: name: King, Martin David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation was used in an analysis of the data acquired in three longitudinal biomedical magnetic resonance studies. The first of these investigations uses a Bayesian nonlinear hierarchical random coefficients model to examine the longitudinal extracellular direct current (DC) potential and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) responses to focal ischaemia in the rat. The purpose is to perform a formal analysis of the temporal relationship between the two responses, and thus to examine the data for compatibility with a common latent (driving) process and, alternatively, the existence of an ADC threshold for anoxic depolarisation. The DC-potential and ADC transition parameter posterior probability distributions were generated, paying particular attention to the within-subject differences between the DC-potential and ADC transition characteristics. The results indicate that the DC-potential and ADC changes are not driven by a common latent process and, in addition, provide no evidence for a consistent ADC threshold associated with anoxic depolarisation. The second analysis uses data acquired in a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic study into the effects of intestinal ischaemia and subsequent reperfusion on liver metabolism in the rat. The purpose of the analysis is to examine the temporal relationship between energy status [inorganic phosphate to adenosine triphosphate ratio (PAR)] and the pH response, the former of which is an indicator of liver energy failure. The posterior distribution obtained for the PAR-pH onset time difference indicates that the pH response precedes the change in PAR, suggesting that intracellular acidosis cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor to the observed liver failure. The third dataset was acquired in an electron spin resonance study of the Arrhenius behaviour of the rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. An MCMC Arrhenius plot changepoint analysis is used to estimate the order parameter 'transition' temperature.

Analysis of wine for acetaldehyde by gas chromatography
Creators: name: Cao, Jenny M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The concentration of acetaldehyde presence in various priced bottles, $3.00 - $25.00, of Sauvignon Blanc was studied to determine whether the price of the wine could be correlated with the concentration of acetaldehyde present in the wine. A direct injection technique for measuring acetaldehyde was developed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Direct injection of Sauvignon Blanc wine samples, some expensive and some not, that were produced by various wineries, did not detect the presence of acetaldehyde using this method. A correlation between the price of the wine and the quality could not be established because acetaldehyde was not detected in any of the samples.

description: This paper studies two-year apprenticeships for young people who struggle to complete upper secondary vocational education and training (VET), and the scheme’s regional implementation in the counties. Using a multi-case study approach, two contrasting strategies are presented. Both strategies are intended to meet the local need for skills, however, in different ways. While one county has chosen a standardised approach, based on an analysis of the labour market for low-skilled persons, the other county has favoured individualised procedures and developed apprenticeship curricula together with individual training companies, tailored to the prerequisites of individual learners. Based on these two cases, the paper discusses both strategies in view of the inclusion of low-achieving students in VET and their employability after apprenticeship training.

description: The method of scaling algebras, which has been introduced earlier as a means for analyzing the short-distance behaviour of quantum field theories in the setting of the model-independent, operator-algebraic approach, is extended to the case of fields carrying superselection charges. In doing so, consideration will be given to strictly localizable charges ("DHR-type" superselection charges) as well as to charges which can only be localized in regions extending to spacelike infinity ("BF-type" superselection charges). A criterion for the preservance of superselection charges in the short-distance scaling limit is proposed. Consequences of this preservance of superselection charges are studied. The conjugate charge of a preserved charge is also preserved, and for charges of DHR-type, the preservance of all charges of a quantum field theory in the scaling limit leads to equivalence of local and global intertwiners between superselection sectors.

 Diagnosis. Body oval­convex. Integument black with yellow spots on pronotum and elytra (Fig. 19). Pronotum with two lateral round black spots reaching the border, and meeting in anterior region. Scutellum black. Each elytron with seven large spots: the first round, basal; the second elongate, on outer side of humeral callus; the third triangular, below and in line with first, close to elytral suture; fourth in center of anterior half of disc; the fifth close to suture and below first and third spots; the sixth connected to external border; seventh round, apical, connected to external border. Length 3.00 mm. Width 2.58 mm.
 Male. Unknown.
 Female. Genital plate wide, with style evident; apermatheca cylindrical, arched, with round horn poorly evident ramus. Last sternite with dense array of elongate bristles on apical margin (Fig. 34).
 Remarks. Hinda regularis is similar to H. modesta, H. humerata and H. joeli in the pattern of elytral spots. They differ, however, in having a different number of spots, and the females have different genitalia patterns. This species is restricted to Peru.
 Type Material. The holotype, from Peru, described by Erichson, was requested from the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt­Universität (ZNHU), Berlin. We received, however, the only specimen which was not the type specimen, yet presents the same characteristics described by Erichson. Therefore we designated the specimen as lectotype.
 Material Examined. Peru. Callanga, lectotype (ZMHU).

description: We study a world economy comprising two countries that may differ only in their prior experience in the research lab. Entrepreneurs in each country develop new technologies for varieties of a differentiated product whenever expected profits justify up-front research costs. Research productivity depends upon national stocks of knowledge capital, which accumulate in proportion to local research activity. The countries produce and trade their unique varieties of the differentiated good, as well as a homogeneous, "traditional" product. In this context, we ask whether a country can overcome a late start in research to develop a comparative advantage in the hightechnology sector. We also examine the welfare properties of the equilibrium trajectory and of policies that might be used to reverse a country's fate.

description: A joint derivation of utility and value for two-person zero-sum games is obtained using a decision theoretic approach. Acts map states to consequences. The latter are lotteries over prizes, and the set of states is a product of two finite sets (m rows and n columns). Preferences over acts are complete, transitive, continuous, monotonic and certainty-independent (Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989)), and satisfy a new axiom of strategic flexibility which we introduce. These axioms are shown to characterize preferences such that (i) the induced preferences on consequences are represented by a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function, and (ii) each act is ranked according to the maxmin value of the corresponding m x n utility matrix (a two-person zero-sum game). An alternative statement of the result deals simultaneously with all finite two-person zero-sum games in the framework of conditional acts and preferences.

description: This review underscores the critical need for effective strategies to identify and support individuals with suicidal ideation, exploiting technological innovations in ML and DL to further suicide prevention efforts. The study details the application of these technologies in analyzing vast amounts of unstructured social media data to detect linguistic patterns, keywords, phrases, tones, and contextual cues associated with suicidal thoughts. It explores various ML and DL models like SVMs, CNNs, LSTM, neural networks, and their effectiveness in interpreting complex data patterns and emotional nuances within text data. The review discusses the potential of these technologies to serve as a life-saving tool by identifying at-risk individuals through their digital traces. Furthermore, it evaluates the real-world effectiveness, limitations, and ethical considerations of employing these technologies for suicide prevention, stressing the importance of responsible development and usage. The study aims to fill critical knowledge gaps by analyzing recent studies, methodologies, tools, and techniques in this field. It highlights the importance of synthesizing current literature to inform practical tools and suicide prevention efforts, guiding innovation in reliable, ethical systems for early intervention. This research synthesis evaluates the intersection of technology and mental health, advocating for the ethical and responsible application of ML, DL, and NLP to offer life-saving potential worldwide while addressing challenges like generalizability, biases, privacy, and the need for further research to ensure these technologies do not exacerbate existing inequities and harms.

description: The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), as a hybrid quantum/classical algorithm, has received much interest recently. QAOA can also be viewed as a variational ansatz for quantum control. However, its direct application to emergent quantum technology encounters additional physical constraints: (i) the states of the quantum system are not observable; (ii) obtaining the derivatives of the objective function can be computationally expensive or even inaccessible in experiments, and (iii) the values of the objective function may be sensitive to various sources of uncertainty, as is the case for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Taking such constraints into account, we show that policy-gradient-based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are well suited for optimizing the variational parameters of QAOA in a noise-robust fashion, opening up the way for developing RL techniques for continuous quantum control. This is advantageous to help mitigate and monitor the potentially unknown sources of errors in modern quantum simulators. We analyze the performance of the algorithm for quantum state transfer problems in single- and multi-qubit systems, subject to various sources of noise such as error terms in the Hamiltonian, or quantum uncertainty in the measurement process. We show that, in noisy setups, it is capable of outperforming state-of-the-art existing optimization algorithms.

description: Scientists today agree humans have an impact on Earth’s biophysical processes; hence they call our era the Anthropocene. There is some debate on the exact geological implications of the term and on the moral value of giving an anthropocentric name to a geological era (Crist 2019), but here we use it to highlight the responsibility of humans for the state of the Earth ecosystem and the life depending on it. Human agency now takes us into a landscape unprecedented in human history: extreme levels of atmospheric CO2, species loss at a much faster rate than natural, acidification and plastic pollution of oceans, etc. Sustainability science is conceived as a response to those challenges. The question is whether – or under what conditions – the concept and science of sustainability can help us to achieve the necessary corrections in due time.

description: Additional file 12. Susceptible CZA lorikeets have altered microbial composition that predicts enteritis. Healthy lorikeets that never developed enteritis throughout the sampling period were identified as “True Healthy” while healthy birds that developed enteritis at least once during the sampling period were identified as “Susceptible.” “Enteritis” represents birds with enteritis that were sampled while they were clinically ill. No post-mortem samples are included in this figure. a) Microbial diversity (Shannon, Kruskal-Wallis, p < 0.005) was increased in Susceptible and True Healthy birds as compared to birds with enteritis and b) microbial composition (Unweighted UniFrac) was altered in Susceptible birds. Variables associated with susceptibility or health were then predicted by a c) Random Forest (RF) or d) LASSO model. The RF model has a sensitivity of 0.75, a specificity of 0.571, and an overall accuracy of 0.557. This model identifies the relative importance of each variable but not whether the variable is associated with susceptibility or health. The LASSO model has a sensitivity of 0.875, a specificity of 0.571, an overall accuracy of 0.733, and generates an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.72. This model (LASSO) identifies whether a variable is associated with susceptibility or health but not the relative importance of the variable.

description: An experiment was conducted at the Dairy Science Laboratory of the Department of Dairy Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from Jyly. to September, 2004. Rassomalai is a famous sweetmeat of Bangladesh. In our country sweetmeat traders do not apply the scientific procedure to produce quality Rassomalai. In this experiment Rassomalai was manufactured in Laboratory and compared with that of product collected from different districts (sadar) of Bangladesh. Physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics were investigated. Significant difference (P<0.01) was found in case of Rassomalai in terms of physical characteristics. It was observed from results that the moisture, dry matter, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash g/kg and acidity cr. and pH contents of Laboratory made and different districts (Range Values) Rassomalai samples were 528.9 and 469.1- 559.4; 471.1 and 440.6-530.9; 173.0 and 145.5-153.1; 80.0 and 60.2-62.2; 204.9 and 220.5-304.3; 13.2 and 12.1-15.2 g/kg and 0.38 and 0.32-0.53 % and 6.27 and 5.90-6.07 respectively and total viable count/ml and coliform count/ml showed significant differences (P<0.01) among the treatment means. Physical, chemical and microbiological examinations revealed that the quality of different districts Rassomalai was inferior to Laboratory made Rassomalai.

description: The general potential of power-law inflation is as $ V(ϕ)\propto ϕ^{n} $ with scalar field $ϕ$. The behavior of inflation is often known as power-law expansion like $S(η)\propto η^{1+β}$ with $1+β<0$. In this paper, the theoretical spectra of relic gravitational waves are compared with the measured strain sensitivity of Advanced LIGO and VIRGO, corresponding to the latest detected events of gravitational waves. The results show tight constraints on $β$ and $n$. Also, the obtained constraints indicate that special types of the potential of inflation, prototype, and KKLTI models, which are originated from string theory, are more suitable than other models. Our analysis shows that there exist some more chances for the detection of relic gravitational waves.

description: With the aim of preparing topographic descriptions and illustrations of the perineaj muscles of the black Bengal does, 12 adult animals were used. The animals were anaesthetized and bled to death by giving incision on the right common carotid artery. Whole vascular system was flashed with 0.85% physiological saline solution and then 10% formalin was injected through the same route for well preservation. After preservation, the muscles of the perineum were surgically isolated, transected and studied. It revealed that muscles of the pelvic diaphragm were M. levator ani and M. coccygeus. The M. levator ani was originated entirely from the sacrosciatic ligament and M. coccygeus from the medial side of the ischiatic spine and from the inside of the sacrotuberal ligament. M. levator ani was poorly developed and was blended with coccygeus for some distance at their insertion. Muscles of the urogenital diaphragm were M. urethralis, M. ischiourethralis and M. bulboglandularis. M. bulboglandularis was a small circular muscle which enclosed the major vestibular gland. Anal musculature of the perineum were M. sphincter ani externus, M. rectococcygeus and M. rectractor clitoridis. M. sphincter ani externus completely encircled the anus. Its fibers crossed ventral to the anus and continued into the opposite labium and the labium on the same side. M. rectococcygeus inserted on the ventral surface of the 5th and 6th caudal vertebrae. M. retractor clitoridis was originated from the 3rd and 4th caudal vertebrae. Urogenital musculature of the perineum were M: transverses perinei superficialis, M. constrictor vestibuli and M. constrictor vulvae. M. constrictor vestibuli covered the ventrolateral surface of the vestibule. M. constrictor vulvae was continuous, with external anal sphincter at the decussation. The overall findings of this work will be helpful for the veterinarians, veterinary students, teachers and research personnel in the relevant technical fields.

description: This paper studies apprentices’ perceptions of initial vocational education and training quality at school and at the training company. Are there any patterns in the way apprentices capture IVET quality? Are there differences regarding perceptions of IVET quality at school or at the training company? By using data from a survey of 333 apprentices in the retail and commercial employees’ fields, we performed a cluster analysis. The aim was to identify natural groupings and explore the association of these clusters with outputs of IVET quality, such as self-efficacy and engagement at school and at the training company, and with sociodemographic variables. We identified four clusters of apprentices: “disenchanted”, “enthusiastic”, “moderate” and “fluctuating”, each with a different pattern of IVET quality perception. Apprentices in the “enthusiastic” cluster had higher scores in IVET quality compared to the other three clusters. Conversely, “disenchanted” apprentices had lower scores. “Moderate” apprentices had very centred scores, while “fluctuating” apprentices showed varied patterns.
Dynamism of Dalit epistemology: Interactions between caste and class
Creators: name: Bishwakarma, Dil B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Nearly 4.5 million Dalits have been segregated, oppressed, and excluded from mainstream processes even after the changed political circumstances in Nepal because the caste system blocks sociopolitical transformation and has more influence on the existing society and state than class. Marxism/conflict theoretical ideology explores the critical inquiry of caste/class-based social structure and a vision of human emancipation and self-realization. The emergence of class struggles has not been able to resolve potential caste/communal struggles between dominant and subordinate groups. This study is grounded in qualitative research methodology to examine the variables that interact or clash between two fundamental social dogmas: caste and class as they relate to Dalit epistemology. Dalit epistemology is an alternative idea that provides positive thoughts and strategic directions to empower and organize Dalits from the bottom up by developing consciousness of Dalithood to transform communal battles toward democratic ballots in broader coalitions with other subordinate groups and progressive forces.

description: The research and development project PRO-VET (Professional Development of Vocation Education Teachers with European Practices) works within the context of a lack of teaching competences in Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Russia and Serbia. It approaches the challenges via a comparative study on practices in VET-teacher education in chosen European countries and applies the method of mutual learning from apparent good practice. Main findings reveal that standard educational programmes for VET teachers are, to a certain extent, quite comparable within the four participating European Union (EU) countries (the Netherlands, Germany, Finland and Ireland): VET-teachers need a university degree that includes both the subject(s) and pedagogy. In the Netherlands, Ireland and Finland a bachelor is in some cases sufficient; in Germany a master is mandatory. Findings from Russia and Serbia differ partially: Whilst in Russia many VET-teachers only studied the subject (e.g. a Bachelor of engineering), full VET teachers in Serbia often hold a PhD. However, similarities predominate: In both countries most VET-teachers had no or only few pedagogical courses and the co-operation with the “world of work” in the form of work-based learning (WBL) is weak. The main conclusion can be summarised as follows: Preconditions, needs and interests differ, thus no “silver bullet” in terms of developing a single unit or standardised study programme to improve VET-teacher education is to be aspired.
title: Synaptic dysfunction in the perirhinal cortex of the R6/1 mouse model of Huntington's disease
Creators: name: Cummings, Damian Michael
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal brain disorder characterised by a progressive motor, psychiatric and cognitive decline, often manifesting in midlife. Since the identification of the gene responsible for HD and the development of predictive testing, it has become apparent that asymptomatic patients often exhibit early cognitive deficits. In particular, an impairment in recognition memory that is evident prior to the onset of classical symptoms and trank cell death. The perirhinal cortex is believed to be involved in processing aspects of recognition memory, specifically the discrimination between novel and familiar cues. Evidence suggests that activity-dependent decrements in neuronal activity within the perirhinal region could underlie this cognitive process and that the synaptic mechanism may be one of long-term depression (LTD).

 In the R6/1 mouse model of HD, synaptic plasticity is progressively altered in the perirhinal cortex in vitro. LTD expression is enhanced at one month, but then declines and is absent by 7 months of age. Dopamine is shown here to be a neuromodulator at normal perirhinal cortical synapses. Fluorescent immunohistochemical techniques are used to demonstrate altered dopamine receptor expression in the R6/1 perirhinal cortex that correlates with the aberrant synaptic plasticity. By exposing normal mouse slices to a D2 dopamine receptor antagonist, it is possible to recapitulate the R6/1 perirhinal synaptic phenotype. Importantly, the alteration of synaptic fiinction and loss of LTD in R6/1 mice can be restored by applying an agonist of dopamine receptors to brain slices.

 These data suggest that impaired perirhinal LTD may contribute to poor recognition memory and that the defect is at the level of the dopaminergic system. Moreover, dopaminergic therapy, targeted to the cortex, may be beneficial in HD.

description: Nearly 4.5 million Dalits have been segregated, oppressed, and excluded from mainstream processes even after the changed political circumstances in Nepal because the caste system blocks sociopolitical transformation and has more influence on the existing society and state than class. Marxism/conflict theoretical ideology explores the critical inquiry of caste/class-based social structure and a vision of human emancipation and self-realization. The emergence of class struggles has not been able to resolve potential caste/communal struggles between dominant and subordinate groups. This study is grounded in qualitative research methodology to examine the variables that interact or clash between two fundamental social dogmas: caste and class as they relate to Dalit epistemology. Dalit epistemology is an alternative idea that provides positive thoughts and strategic directions to empower and organize Dalits from the bottom up by developing consciousness of Dalithood to transform communal battles toward democratic ballots in broader coalitions with other subordinate groups and progressive forces.

description: Horizontal segregation based on gender is still present inside Initial Vocational Education and Training (hereinafter, IVET) programs. Year after year in Spain (MEFP, 2014, 2020), the distribution of IVET students within professional branches, is in some branches, clearly related to gender. This is similar in other European countries. The purpose of this study was to find statistical relationships between the variable sex and the vocational decision-making of IVET students. To achieve this, a descriptive study was carried out using a mixed method —qualitative and quantitative— and including the application of an ad hoc questionnaire addressed to IVET students from a county located in Galicia (Spain). The sample was made up of 267 IVET students —of a total population of 676— being 61% men and 39% women. The results show that the distribution of the surveyed students according to the professional branches showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between this variable and sex (X2 = 171.142; p = .000). With regard to the knowledge that students declare about other IVET programs located inside their reference territory —and to which they could have access instead of their current program— it is found that there is a link between the perception of such knowledge and sex (X2 = 8.001; p. = .005). Concerning the reasons for choosing the current IVET program, if we analyse each of them according to the sex variable, we can affirm that reasons linked to vocation and randomness are both related to sex. This is not the case with the rest of the reasons given. In conclusion, it seems very important to persist in investigating male and female decision-making in relation to their vocation and further studies, being conscious that the reality of sex segregation is something that goes beyond and covers different spheres and experiences of the person.
Kissing number in non-Euclidean spaces of constant sectional curvature

description: This paper provides upper and lower bounds on the kissing number of congruent radius $r > 0$ spheres in hyperbolic $\mathbb{H}^n$ and spherical $\mathbb{S}^n$ spaces, for $n\geq 2$. For that purpose, the kissing number is replaced by the kissing function $κ_H(n, r)$, resp. $κ_S(n, r)$, which depends on the dimension $n$ and the radius $r$. After we obtain some theoretical upper and lower bounds for $κ_H(n, r)$, we study their asymptotic behaviour and show, in particular, that $κ_H(n,r) \sim (n-1) \cdot d_{n-1} \cdot B(\frac{n-1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}) \cdot e^{(n-1) r}$, where $d_n$ is the sphere packing density in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $B$ is the beta-function. Then we produce numeric upper bounds by solving a suitable semidefinite program, as well as lower bounds coming from concrete spherical codes. A similar approach allows us to locate the values of $κ_S(n, r)$, for $n= 3,\, 4$, over subintervals in $[0, π]$ with relatively high accuracy.

Theory of spin magnetization driven by chiral phonons

description: We construct a general theory of spin magnetization driven by chiral phonons under an adiabatic process, in which atoms rotate around their equilibrium positions with a low phonon frequency. Here the spin magnetization originates from the modulated electronic states with spin-orbital coupling by atomic rotations. Under the adiabatic approximation, the time-dependent spin magnetization can be calculated by a Berry-phase method. In this paper, we focus on its time average, which is evaluated by assuming that the phonon displacement is small. As a result, the time average of the spin magnetization is concisely formulated in the form of the Berry curvature defined in the phonon-displacement space as an intrinsic property of atomic rotations. Our formula for spin magnetization reflects the chiral nature of phonons, and is convenient for $ab$ $initio$ calculations.
