description: Focusing on food access, existing college studies find rates of low or very low food security to range from 10–75%, with little understanding of variation among undergraduate and graduate students. A greater understanding of food security including access and utilization for both undergraduate and graduate students will help address its adverse effects on the health and academic outcomes of students. We evaluate food security at a large midwestern university, identifying characteristics related to both access and utilization. This approach allows for the identification of solutions tailored to undergraduate and graduate students living on- and off-campus who lack food security.

description: La calidad de vida de los seres humanos esta determinada en gran parte por la posibilidad de procrear y desarrollarse como individuos completos dentro de un ambiente social y cultural que apoya la constitución y el crecimiento de la familia. Por tanto, para los hombres en edad fértil se constituye en una necesidad primaria el cuidado de la salud sexual y reproductiva a través del control de los factores de riesgo para la fertilidad como el varicocele, que pueden afectar el normal desarrollo de los procesos relacionados con la formación de las células germinales de los varones. Con el fin de incluir procedimientos diagnósticos eficaces en el examen físico de rutina a los pacientes que permita el diagnostico precoz y tratamiento oportuno de las alteraciones de la fertilidad asociadas a la presencia del varicocele, se pretende demostrar que el uso de las imágenes radiológicas para la confirmación del diagnostico son plenamente eficaces en el tratamiento en etapas tempranas, lo que a su vez ayuda a evitar el daño testicular y el deterioro progresivo de la función espermática. Por ello se propone la realización de un estudio descriptivo de tipo prospectivo con la población de hombre entre los 15 y 45 años, que prospectivo con la población de hombre entre los 15 y 45 años, que tenga diagnostico clínico de varicocele y aquello que reporten un problema de fertilidad o anormalidad en la pruebas de función testicular, que son atendidos en el Hospital Naval de Cartagena en el cual se determina además de las características sociodemográficas, el grado de especificidad de la técnica, el grado del varicocele, el tamaño testicular la función espermática, los beneficios del diagnostico y la respuesta al tratamiento quirúrgico

Habenaria delavayi

description: Habenaria delavayi Finet (1901: 527).
 Type:— CHINA. Yunnan, Mo-so-yn, August 1888, Delavay 4560 [lectotype designated here: P (P00405972 image!); isolectotypes: P (P00405970 image!, P00405971 image!)]; Yunnan, Ta-pin-tze, 2000 m, July 1886, Delavay s.n. [syntype: P (P00405973 image!)]; Lan-kong, 3000 m, July 1885, Delavay 1688 [syntypes: P (P00405974 image!, P00405975 image!)]; Yunnan mountains, July 1897, Ducloux 310 [syntypes: P (P00426060 image!, P00426059 image!), K (K000796936 image!), LE (LE01012224 image!)].
 Notes:— This species is endemic to China with distribution limited to Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces along the elevation range of 1500–3200 m. Finet (1901) named Habenaria delavayi in honor of Pe ̀re Jean-Marie Delavay (1834– 1895). In the protologue, Finet mentioned the exsiccata from Yunnan — Delavay s.n. (July 1886), Delavay 1688 (July 1885), Delavay 4560 (August 1888) and Ducloux 310 (July 1897), without designating any of them specifically as type, thus consequently all these vouchers belonging to the exsiccata are syntypes (ICN, Art. 9.6). While searching for these specimens, a set of all of these specimens was located at P: Delavay 4560 with 3 duplicates, Delavay s.n. single specimen, Delavay 1688 with 2 duplicates and Ducloux 310 with 2 duplicates; moreover, duplicates of Ducloux 310 were also found at K and LE. However, duplicates of other syntypes could not be traced elsewhere but P. Of the 3 exsiccata of Delavay 4560 at P, one of them (P00405972) bears the label of ‘type’ and the other two (P00405970, P00405971) are labelled as ‘isotype’, but referring to the protologue, there is no such specifically designated specimen; following McNeil (2014), this does not infer as the holotype designation, hence it must be an error and thus demands clarification. Consequently, Delavay 4560 specimen with barcode no. P00405972 is designated here as the lectotype, the other two duplicates thus became isolectotypes.

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The dynamic interaction of droplet with solid surfaces is a fundamental problem and essential technology for the development of spray cooling systems. In this work, the focus is on the study of the dynamic interactions of a droplet on the inclined surfaces above Leidenfrost point; the permeation and evaporation characteristics of the water and ethanol droplets; and droplet impinging on the vibrated surfaces. All these are to provide cooling solutions together with the graphene-coated surfaces. In addition, a small part of the work is on the streaming flow within the droplet atop vibrating curved transducers for possible enhancement of convection heat transfer.

description: We provide evidence of an extreme form of sensitivity to initial conditions in a family of one-dimensional self-ruling dynamical systems. We prove that some hyperchaotic sequences are closed-form expressions of the orbits of these pseudo-random dynamical systems. Each chaotic system in this family exhibits a sensitivity to initial conditions that encompasses the sequence of choices of the evolution rule in some collection of maps. This opens a possibility to extend current theories of complex behaviors on the basis of intrinsic uncertainty in deterministic chaos.

description: We investigate thermoelectric properties of a ferromagnet-superconductor hybrid structure with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and delta function potential barrier at the interfacial layer. The exponential rise of thermal conductance with temperature manifests a cross-over temperature scale separating two opposite behaviors of it with the change of polarization in the ferromagnet whereas the inclusion of interfacial Rashba spin-orbit field results in a non-monotonic behavior of it with the strength of Rashba field. We employ scattering matrix approach to determine the amplitudes of all the scattering processes possible at the interface to explain the thermoelectric properties of the device. We examine Seebeck effect and show that higher thermopower can be achieved when the polarization of the ferromagnet tends towards the half-metallic limit. It can be enhanced even for lower polarization in presence of the finite potential barrier. In presence of interfacial Rashba spin-orbit interaction, Seebeck coefficient rises with the increase of barrier strength and polarization at weak or moderate interfacial Rashba field. From the application perspective, we compute the figure of merit and show that $zT\sim 4-5$ with higher polarization of the ferromagnet both in absence and presence of weak or moderate Rashba spin-orbit interaction along with the scalar potential barrier.

The 2-surviving rate of planar graphs with average degree lower than $4\frac{1}{2}$

description: Let $G$ be any connected graph on $n$ vertices, $n \ge 2.$ Let $k$ be any positive integer. Suppose that a fire breaks out at some vertex of $G.$ Then, in each turn firefighters can protect at most $k$ vertices of $G$ not yet on fire; Next the fire spreads to all unprotected neighbours. The $k$-surviving rate of G, denoted by $ρ_k(G),$ is the expected fraction of vertices that can be saved from the fire, provided that the starting vertex is chosen uniformly at random. In this note, it is shown that for any planar graph $G$ with average degree $4\frac{1}{2} - ε,$ where $ε\in (0, 1],$ we have $ρ_2(G) \ge \frac{2}{9}ε$. In particular, the result implies a significant improvement of the bound for 2-surviving rate for triangle-free planar graphs (Esperet, van den Heuvel, Maffray and Sipma, 2013) and for planar graphs without 4-cycles (Kong, Wang, Zhang, 2012). The proof is done using the separator theorem for planar graphs. This paper is the corrected version of (Gordinowicz, 2018) unified with the corrigendum.

description: The purpose of this paper is to give a proof of the real part of the Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck theorem for complex flat vector bundles at the differential form level in the even dimensional fiber case. The proof is, roughly speaking, an application of the local family index theorem for a perturbed twisted spin Dirac operator, a variational formula of the Bismut-Cheeger eta form without the kernel bundle assumption in the even dimensional fiber case, and some properties of the Cheeger-Chern-Simons class of complex flat vector bundle.

Investigation of the Potential of Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash for Production of Ceramic Material (Wall Tiles)
Creators: name: Taresa, Miresa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Utilization of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) waste as a value added material in industrial process is interested from both environmental and economic perspectives. Hence, this thesis work focused on partial replacement of quartz/silica sand by SCBA which is composed of 72.02% SiO2, 7.96% fluxing compounds (K2O, Na2O and MgO) and other minor components has been investigated to produce ceramic wall tiles, where ceramic raw materials (feldspar, kaolin and clay) have been remained constant. The compositional and mineralogical analysis of materials (SCBA and silica sand) have been performed by using atomic absorption (AA) method and x-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. This result revealed the suitability of replacement of quartz by SCBA. The experiments have been conducted by replacing quartz with SCBA (20, 35 and 50 wt.%). Correspondingly the effects of pressing pressure at 15, 17, 19MPa and firing temperature at 1000℃, 1100℃, 1200℃ have been investigated. The physico-mechanical properties like: green, dry and fired strength, linear shrinkage, water absorption, LOI and crazing test (for glazed) of the products have been analysed. The experimental results showed that at 1100℃ firing temperature, replacement of quartz by 35% SCBA and at17MPa pressing pressure found the best for ceramic wall tiles production. Thus, from the experimental results, it was concluded that SCBA can be utilized for production of ceramic wall tiles as partial replacement for silica sand/quartz. Hence, minimization of the SCBA environmental impacts and its economic advantages have been realized.

description: Many emerging quantum technologies demand precise engineering and control over networks consisting of quantum mechanical degrees of freedom connected by propagating electromagnetic fields, or quantum input-output networks. Here we review recent progress in theory and experiment related to such quantum input-output networks, with a focus on the SLH framework, a powerful modeling framework for networked quantum systems that is naturally endowed with properties such as modularity and hierarchy. We begin by explaining the physical approximations required to represent any individual node of a network, eg. atoms in cavity or a mechanical oscillator, and its coupling to quantum fields by an operator triple $(S,L,H)$. Then we explain how these nodes can be composed into a network with arbitrary connectivity, including coherent feedback channels, using algebraic rules, and how to derive the dynamics of network components and output fields. The second part of the review discusses several extensions to the basic SLH framework that expand its modeling capabilities, and the prospects for modeling integrated implementations of quantum input-output networks. In addition to summarizing major results and recent literature, we discuss the potential applications and limitations of the SLH framework and quantum input-output networks, with the intention of providing context to a reader unfamiliar with the field.

description: Pair trading is one of the most effective statistical arbitrage strategies which seeks a neutral profit by hedging a pair of selected assets. Existing methods generally decompose the task into two separate steps: pair selection and trading. However, the decoupling of two closely related subtasks can block information propagation and lead to limited overall performance. For pair selection, ignoring the trading performance results in the wrong assets being selected with irrelevant price movements, while the agent trained for trading can overfit to the selected assets without any historical information of other assets. To address it, in this paper, we propose a paradigm for automatic pair trading as a unified task rather than a two-step pipeline. We design a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework to jointly learn and optimize two subtasks. A high-level policy would select two assets from all possible combinations and a low-level policy would then perform a series of trading actions. Experimental results on real-world stock data demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on pair trading compared with both existing pair selection and trading methods.

description: Habenaria finetiana Schlechter (1919: 126).
 Type:— CHINA. Yunnan, 1882, Delavay 385 [lectotype designated here: P (P00426260 image!); isolectotype P (P00426259 image!)]; Salween valley, Prince H. d’Orleans s. n. [syntype: P (P00426258 image!)].
 Notes:— Schlechter described Habenaria finetiana based on the previously published account of two varieties (Habenaria geniculata var. yunnanensis and H. miersiana var. yunnanensis) by Finet. H. miersiana var. yunnanensis, whose original materials are cited as Delavay 385 and d’Orleans s.n. in the protologue, is in fact the basionym of H. geniculata var. yunnanensis, which in turn is the replaced synonym of H. finetiana. In the herbarium P, we found two duplicates of Delavay 385 (P 00426260, P 00426259) and a single exsiccatum of Prince d’Orleans s.n. (P 00426258) albeit stored under H. dentata, this error may have been occurred due to the synonymy of H. geniculata for the former, in fact it was a case of status change. To come out of this confusion regarding the original material, we have designated the Delavay 385 specimen at P with the barcode P 00426260 as the lectotype and thus its duplicate P 00426259 becomes the isolectotype, while the status of d’Orleans s.n. (P 00426258) specimen remains unchanged to syntype.

description: Das Phänomen des erfolgreichen Scheiterns wird auf die Eigendynamik sozialer Netzwerke bezogen, die von strategisch handelnden Akteuren geschaffen werden, sich jedoch gegenüber den manifesten Interessen der Beteiligten verselbständigen. Dies wird anhand einer empirischen Studie zur Geschichte der deutschen Raumfahrt illustriert. Eine Interpretation dieses Sachverhalts mit Mitteln der soziologischen Theorie erfordert ein analytisches Instrumentarium, das sowohl die Entstehung sozialer Strukturen aus den Interaktionen der Individuen (Emergenzproblem) als auch die Bindung der Individuen an die von ihnen geschaffenen Strukturen (Integrationsproblem) beschreibt. Da weder systemtheoretische noch akteurtheoretische Modelle eine zufriedenstellende Lösung beider 'Rätsel' anbieten, wird eine Verknüpfung von System- und Akteurtheorie vorgeschlagen, die den Akteuren generalisierbare Interessen unterstellt, welche auf die Handlungslogiken der ausdifferenzierten gesellschaftlichen Teilsysteme einerseits, auf zweckrationale Kalküle andererseits bezogen werden können. Die Eigendynamik sozialer Netzwerke erklärt sich somit durch die Tatsache, daß diese eine eigene, von den beteiligten Akteuren nicht mehr exklusiv kontrollierbare Handlungslogik entwickeln, die durch das Prinzip der kommunikativen Verständigung geprägt ist. Akteurrationalität, Systemrationalität und kommunikative Rationalität können in ein widerspruchsvolles und spannungsreiches Verhältnis zueinander treten, das vom individuellen Akteur als sozialer Zwang empfunden wird und ihm das Gefühl vermittelt, mit seinen Strategien gescheitert zu sein.

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This research investigated into two components of the vehicle steering system. The problem with one of the components (mechanical steering gear) is that it tends to generate undesirable noises and the culprits causing these noises are needed to be found out. Existing method to distinguish the root causes takes a lot of time so this project proposes another method to identify the culprits in a quicker manner. Another component has cavity in its material which weakened it. Detection of this cavity with proposed method is 50% faster hence, more components can be sorted according to the presence of cavity.

description: We revisit graviton production via Bremsstrahlung from the decay of the inflaton during inflationary reheating. Using two complementary computational techniques, we first show that such 3-body differential decay rates differ from previously reported results in the literature. We then compute the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background that forms during the period of reheating, when the inflaton perturbatively decays with the radiative emission of gravitons. By computing the number of relativistic degrees of freedom in terms of $ΔN_\text{eff}$, we constrain the resulting GW energy density from BBN and CMB. Finally, we project current and future GW detector sensitivities in probing such a stochastic GW background, which typically peaks in the GHz to THz ballpark, opening up the opportunity to be detected with microwave cavities and space-based GW detectors.

"The Influence of Organizational Climate on Employees' Organizational Citizenship Behavior: A Case Study of the Ministry of Agriculture in Hargeisa, Somaliland"
Creators: name: Dubbe, Mohamed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Organizational climate, organizational citizenship behavior, Ministry of Agriculture, Hargeisa, Somaliland

description: This study aimed to assess the prevailing levels of OCB and organizational climate within the MOA, examine the relationship between these two constructs, and determine the extent to which organizational climate influences OCB. A quantitative cross-sectional research design was employed, utilizing a census approach to collect data from all 95 MOA employees through a structured questionnaire.

The findings revealed that both OCB and organizational climate at the MOA were relatively low (Overall Mean = 1.93, indicating a low level). Additionally, a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation was observed between organizational climate and OCB (r = 0.847, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis identified key organizational climate factors—specifically, organizational goals, rewards, and effective communication—as significant drivers of OCB, highlighting their critical role in shaping employee behavior.
description: The study will be conducted in Hargeisa Somaliland especially at the Ministry of Agriculture. In fulfilling all of the responsibilities as enshrined in Article 17 of the Executive Regulation No. 01/2018, the mandate of the Ministry of Agriculture encompasses all aspects of agricultural development ranging from agricultural resource utilization and management, crop production, agro-processing, marketing and pest and disease control.     Severely damaged by the civil war and with unpredicted weather events disrupting Somaliland agricultural production, the industry is slowly regaining strength.

description: Let $X$ be a minimal cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The image $Γ$ of the Galois group $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q / \mathbb{F}_q)$ in the group $\operatorname{Aut}(\operatorname{Pic}(\overline{X}))$ is a cyclic subgroup of the Weyl group $W(E_6)$. There are $25$ conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in $W(E_6)$, and $5$ of them correspond to minimal cubic surfaces. It is natural to ask which conjugacy classes come from minimal cubic surfaces over a given finite field. In this paper we give a partial answer to this question and present many explicit examples.

Production and Characterization of starch Based Antimicrobial Packaging Film through Incorporation of Plumbago Zeylanica (Amira) Root Crude Extract
Creators: name: Melak, Muche

description: Antimicrobial packaging is one of the most promising active packaging systems. Starch based film is considered an economical and environmentally-friendly material for antimicrobial packaging. This study aimed at the development of food packaging from corn starch incorporated with methanol extract of plumbago zeylanica root as antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial activity of the extract was tested on three bacterial strains namely Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, E. coli and one fungal strain known as aspergilla niger. Inhibition of bacterial growth was examined using zone of inhibition test on solid media. For this 200 µl of various concentrations, 200mg/ml 100mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 25mg/ml plant extract were added into 8 mm hole diameter using micropipette. Hence 200µl of 200mg/ml extract could inhibit 13.5, 8.75, 10.5 and 27 mm diameter for Salmonella typhi, E. coli, staphylococcus aureus and Aspergilla niger respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentration was determined involving broth dilution method. From minimum inhibitory concentration findings, 1.25mg/ml, 2.5mg/ml ,1.25mg/ml and 0.625 mg/ml crude extract in liquid medium completely inhibited the growth of S. aureus, E. coli, Salmonella typhi and aspergilla niger respectively. This result showed that plumbago zeylanica exhibited a potential antimicrobial activity on selected pathogenic microorganisms. Consequently, the control and antimicrobial agent films were produced by casting method. From the observations, antimicrobial packaging films exhibited inhibitory zones. Interestingly, a wide clear zone on solid media was observed for Salmonella typhi and aspergilla niger growth inhibition whereas inhibition for E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not as effective as Salmonella typhi and aspergilla niger. These results showed that the incorporation of plumbago zeylanica extract had a significant influence on the growth of each selected microorganism (P<0.05). Overall, the current study manifested that plasticized corn starch can be regarded as a promising biodegradable antimicrobial packaging film.

 Type:— CHINA. Sichuan, Wolong, 2200 m, 24 August 1982, K. Y. Lang, L. Q. Li & Y. Fei 1528 [lectotype designated here: PE! (barcode 01147127), isolectotype: PE! (barcode 01147128)].
 Notes:— While designating the type of Habenaria wolongensis, K.Y. Lang has mentioned ‘ K. Y. Lang, L. Q. Li & Y. Fei 1528 (Typus, PE)’ in the protologue; however during a search for the type materials at PE, we found two specimens with that label. Evidently, they were of the same gathering and thus both of them should be regarded as syntypes (Art. 9.6, Art. 40 Note 1). In such circumstances, for typification, we had to choose one of them and we choose the specimen bearing the barcode no. 01147127 as the lectotype, it is the same specimen that has been illustrated in the protologue.

description: Overheating issues in state-of-the-art electronics have proven to be a major hindrance to the future development of increasingly power-efficient electronic devices. This thesis investigates the effectiveness of a highly wetting-tunable graphene nanoplatelet coating to bring about a water droplet-based enhanced evaporative cooling of a surface heated to the operating temperature of modern chipsets. The extraordinarily high effectiveness of the material found through experimentation in this thesis envisions its application as a thermal management solution for electronics in the future.

description: The process of generating data such as images is controlled by independent and unknown factors of variation. The retrieval of these variables has been studied extensively in the disentanglement, causal representation learning, and independent component analysis fields. Recently, approaches merging these domains together have shown great success. Instead of directly representing the factors of variation, the problem of disentanglement can be seen as finding the interventions on one image that yield a change to a single factor. Following this assumption, we introduce a new method for disentanglement inspired by causal dynamics that combines causality theory with vector-quantized variational autoencoders. Our model considers the quantized vectors as causal variables and links them in a causal graph. It performs causal interventions on the graph and generates atomic transitions affecting a unique factor of variation in the image. We also introduce a new task of action retrieval that consists of finding the action responsible for the transition between two images. We test our method on standard synthetic and real-world disentanglement datasets. We show that it can effectively disentangle the factors of variation and perform precise interventions on high-level semantic attributes of an image without affecting its quality, even with imbalanced data distributions.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We propose a simple algorithm to locate the "corner" of an L-curve, a function often used to select the regularisation parameter for the solution of ill-posed inverse problems. The algorithm involves the Menger curvature of a circumcircle and the golden section search method. It efficiently finds the regularisation parameter value corresponding to the maximum positive curvature region of the L-curve. The algorithm is applied to some commonly available test problems and compared to the typical way of locating the l-curve corner by means of its analytical curvature. The application of the algorithm to the data processing of an electrical resistance tomography experiment on thin conductive films is also reported.

description: Nuanced cancer patient care is needed, as the development and clinical course of cancer is multifactorial with influences from the general health status of the patient, germline and neoplastic mutations, co-morbidities, and environment. To effectively tailor an individualized treatment to each patient, such multifactorial data must be presented to providers in an easy-to-access and easy-to-analyze fashion. To address the need, a relational database has been developed integrating status of cancer-critical gene mutations, serum galectin profiles, serum and tumor glycomic profiles, with clinical, demographic, and lifestyle data points of individual cancer patients. The database, as a backend, provides physicians and researchers with a single, easily accessible repository of cancer profiling data to aid-in and enhance individualized treatment. Our interactive database allows care providers to amalgamate cohorts from these groups to find correlations between different data types with the possibility of finding "molecular signatures" based upon a combination of genetic mutations, galectin serum levels, glycan compositions, and patient clinical data and lifestyle choices. Our project provides a framework for an integrated, interactive, and growing database to analyze molecular and clinical patterns across cancer stages and subtypes and provides opportunities for increased diagnostic and prognostic power.
