Influence of Biomimetic Chelating Packaging on Natural Antimicrobial Efficacy
Creators: name: Castrale, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: The iron chelating molecule, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used in food applications for the preservation of oxidation prone ingredients. Research has suggested that EDTA is also capable of enhancing the antimicrobial effectiveness of various compounds including naturally-derived antimicrobials. With consumer demand for cleaner food labels, there remains an opportunity to introduce new chelating technology to replace synthetically-derived EDTA. Through photographting and chemical conversion, hydroxamic acid ligands were covalently bound to polypropylene films resulting in polypropylene-graft-poly(hydroxamic acid) (PP-g-PHA). The resulting films demonstrated an ability to chelate 64 nmol/cm2 from an iron saturated environment or 163 nmol/cm2 of magnesium and 139 nmol/cm2 of calcium from bacterial growth media. A surface pKa of 8.97 suggested that film ligands should remain protonated under acidic and neutral pH conditions. When combined with lysozyme, PP-g-PHA films were able to reduce inhibitory concentration of lysozyme for Listeria monocytogenes by half. When tested against Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and E. coli O157:H7; PP-g-PHA films were unable to inhibit growth and showed little enhancement of lysozyme. EDTA controls revealed that similar levels of soluble chelator were more effective than immobilized chelators. EDTA results also suggested that a chelating film with a higher affinity for iron (through coordination or ligand stability) may be able to control B. cereus growth. Both EDTA and PP-g-PHA caused P. fluorescens to produce siderophores (pyoerdines), suggesting that each treatment resulted in a low-iron growth environment. These findings suggest that surface bound chelating technology can affect the growth of L. monocytogenes and enhance the effectiveness of lysozyme. With improved surface chemistry (a higher binding constant with iron), this technology has the potential to influence the growth of other pathogens and spoilage microorganisms.

description: Multifunctional role of agriculture and its importance in main strategic documents and implemental measures of agrarian policy in Slovenia in the period from passing and enforcement of the Strategy of Slovenian Agriculture to Slovenia’s accession to the European Union was analysed. Qualitative evaluation comprising the measures of market price policy and those of structural policy and rural development policy represents the level of presence of individual elements of multifunctionality in the goals and items of agrarian policy measures. The collected environmental and productional indicators and the extent and structure of financial support offered indirectly by the Slovenian Government to various productional and non-productional functions of agriculture, point at an increased multifunctional role of agriculture and agrarian policy of Slovenia.
TURBULENT TRANSITION IN ELECTROMAGNETICALLY LEVITATED LIQUID METAL DROPLETS
Creators: name: ZHAO, Jie
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: The condition of fluid flow has been proven to have a significant influence on a wide variety of material processes. In electromagnetic levitation (EML) experiments, the internal flow is driven primarily by electromagnetic forces. In 1-g, the positioning forces are very strong and the internal flows are turbulent. To reduce the flows driven by the levitation field, experiments may be performed in reduced gravity and parabolic flights experiments have been adopted as the support in advance. Tracer particles on the surface of levitated droplets in EML experiment performed by SUPOS have been used to investigate the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. A sample of NiAl3 was electromagnetically levitated in parabolic flight and the laminar-turbulent transition observed from the case was studied in this work. For the sample with clearly visible tracer patterns, the fluid flow has been numerical evaluated with magnetohydrodynamic models and the laminar-turbulent transition happened during the acceleration of the flow, instead of steady state. The Reynolds number at transition was estimated approximately as 860 by the experiment record. The predicted time to transition obtained from the results of simulation showed significant difference (~ up to 300 times) compared with the time obtained from the experiment—0.37s.
The discrepancy between numerical and experimental results could not be explained by the proposed hypotheses: geometry, boundary conditions or solid core. The simulations predict that the flow would become turbulent almost instantaneously after the droplet was fully molten. There are important physics shown by the simulation which were not captured.
SEARCH GUIDANCE CAN BE ADJUSTED BY EXPERIENCE WITH SEARCH DISCRIMINABILITY

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Several recent studies show that previous experience can influence observers’ search strategy in a way that improves search performance. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how the experience of difficult color discriminability affects search strategies. Two participant groups either experienced difficult color discriminability in a half of the trials (i.e., hard-discrimination group) or experienced easy search in all trials (i.e., easy-discrimination group) in a dual-target search task. Participants were required to respond to the presence of a target (colored T) among distractors (colored pseudo-L). Eye movements were recorded to understand which feature information is used to guide attention, and behavioral performance was measured to compare search efficiency between the two groups. The hard-discrimination group fixated more distractors with target-dissimilar colors than the easy-discrimination group, suggesting the hard-discrimination group used shape information to guide search more than the easy-discrimination group. However, error rates and response times were not significantly different between groups. The results demonstrate that the experience of difficult color discriminability discourages observers from guiding attention by color, and encourages them to use shape information.

description: In this article, we give some conditions on the structure of an unstable module, which are satisfied whenever this module is the reduced cohomology of a space or a spectrum. First, we study the structure of the sub-modules of Sigma^sH^*(B(Z/2)^{oplus d};Z/2), i.e., the unstable modules whose nilpotent filtration has length 1. Next, we generalise this result to unstable modules whose nilpotent filtration has a finite length, and which verify an additional condition. The result says that under certain hypotheses, the reduced cohomology of a space or a spectrum does not have arbitrary large gaps in its structure. This result is obtained by applying Adams' theorem on the Hopf invariant and the classification of the injective unstable modules. This work was carried out under the direction of L. Schwartz. Resume Dans cet article, on donne des restrictions sur la structure d'un module instable, qui doivent etre verifiees pour que celui-ci soit la cohomologie reduite d'un espace ou d'un spectre.

description: There is a growing consensus among developed economies about the significance of non-commodity outputs of agriculture, such as its environmenal and spatial impacts, and its contribution towards employment and viability of rural areas. It however remains open, which of these functions (often referred as attributes of multifunctional agriculture) provide plausible arguments for public support towards agriculture and acceptance by international trade partners. The paper attempts to assess, which attributes of multifunctional agriculture are acceptable to international trade partners and can therefore be provided with assisence of agricultural policy mechanisms. In principle, none of the attributes of multifunstional agriculture is contestable in the actual multilateral trade negotiations, as long as support will remain market-neutral.
Evaluation Of Impedance Control On A Powered Hip Exoskeleton
Creators: name: condoor, Punith
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: This thesis presents an impedance control strategy for a novel powered hip exoskeleton designed to provide partial assistance and leverage the dynamics of human gait. The control strategy is based on impedance control and provides the user assistance as needed which is determined by the user’s interaction with the exoskeleton. A series elastic element is used to drive the exoskeleton and measures the interaction torque between the user and the device. The device operates in two modes. Free mode is a low impedance state that attempts to provide no assistance. Assist mode increases the gains of the controller to provide assistance as needed. The device was tested on five healthy subjects, and the resulting assistive hip torque was evaluated to determine the ability of the controller to provide gait assistance. The device was evaluated at different speeds to assess the gait speed adaptation performance of the controller. Results show that hip torque assistance range was between 0.3 to 0.5 Nm/kg across the subjects, corresponding to 24% to 40% of the maximum hip torque requirements of healthy adults during walking. The peak power provided by the system is 35 W on average and a peak power of up to 45 W.

description: Economic valuation methods have already been used abroad successfully for solving above all local and nation-wide problems in rural (and also urban) areas with incorporated multifunctional natural and cultural goods, in a sense of their cultural, recreational, educational, ecological, aesthetical and existential values. The existence of these goods, in our case for the countryside, increases the welfare of users as well as of non-users when goods are nationally or globally important. Since environmental and cultural goods are in fact public goods, their use is mostly free, while managers or owners have some maintenance costs, which are usually covered from the budget. It is quite clear that allocation and distribution of these sources has to be properly justified. The same holds true for individual interventions into the space. This article suggests contingent valuation methods as a helping tool for making decisions on economic activities and interventions to the area.

description: Many standard model extensions, including composite Goldstone Higgs models, predict vector-like fermionic top-partners at the TeV scale. The intensive search programmes by ATLAS and CMS focus on decays into a 3$^{\rm rd}$ generation quark and an electroweak boson ($W,Z,h$). However, underlying models of partial compositeness contain additional states that give rise to exotic top partner decays. We consider a well-motivated scenario in which a charge-$2/3$ top-partner decays into a pseudo-scalar, $T\rightarrow t\ a$, with $a\rightarrow gg \mbox{ or } b\bar{b}$ dominating below the $t\bar{t}$ threshold. We show that the constraints on the top partner mass from QCD pair production are substantially weakened, still allowing a top partner mass as light as $400$ GeV.

description: This study utilized data extracted from the 2013 National Saltwater Angler Survey to understand saltwater recreational anglers’ preferences toward recreational fisheries management strategies, to identify groups exhibiting common patterns of responses, and to examine the association between socio-demographic characteristics and the groups identified. Saltwater recreational anglers’ preferences toward recreational fisheries management strategies were examined through factor analysis which identified four reliable factors. Cluster analysis was employed to identify three prominent recreational angler groups. Statistical tests were employed to investigate the association between socio-demographic characteristics, including age, gender, income level, educational level, region of the respondent, and the identified recreational angler groups. The multilayer perceptron neural network model was utilized as a predictive model in deciding recreational anglers’ preferences toward recreational fishing management strategies. From an architectural perspective, it showed a 15-7-3 neural network construction. The results also revealed that fisheries habitat development and bag limit consideration were the greatest effect on how the recreational anglers’ preferences in terms of recreational fisheries management strategies. Results of this study may provide insight regarding the preferences toward recreational fisheries management strategies from saltwater recreational anglers as an indicator of potential participation and behavior of saltwater recreational fisheries management.

description: Readiness of the farmers to start a provision of the social services for mentally disabled as an on-farm supplementary activity was studied by an exploratory research, using methods of survey and interview. The results of survey on non-probability sample of 155 farmers show that about 10 % would most probable opt for such activity. They attach minor importance to a form and an intensity of a service. They are ready to accept 1-2 persons, irrespective of their gender. The relations between a farmer and an user have to be defined by a contract, preceded by a probation period of 1 to 2 months. A farmer and a mentally disabled have to undergo training that have to take place at home farm. They see a fact that Slovene framers are ignorant of care farming as the main reason for farms not being included into a system of social care. From the results of the survey, as well as from the experiences of the farmer, experimentally working with mentally disabled on his farm for three years, the model of introduction and implementation of provision of social cervices as a supplementary on-farm activity is suggested. Model anticipates cooperation between a farmer and a local social welfare institution and is based upon the principles of gradualness, partnership, business and transparency.

description: Perch fisherman in the Great Lakes yellow perch industry are found to use informal vertical exchange relationships which bind together fishermen and buyers through "moral obligations." These exchange arrangements while providing an assured outlet also raise substantial entry and exist barriers to perch processing. Available empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that the market is performing poorly in terms of equity for fishermen. Remedies call for the ending of allegedly illegal conduct of the dominant firm and providing alternative outlets for fishermen, possibly through a publicly operated purchase and buy-back program.

description: The present work investigates the possibility that both dark matter and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon may be explained within the context of the inverse seesaw extended Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (ISS-NMSSM). In ISS-NMSSM, the newly introduced Higgs-neutrino Yukawa coupling $Y_ν$ provides additional Higgsino-sneutrino loop contribution to $(g-2)_μ$. If the deviation between the experimental observations and the Standard Model predictions of the anomalous muon magnetic moment is confirmed by the further experimental and theoretical studies, it can be explained naturally within the ISS-NMSSM framework without conflicting with the current stringent limits on the direct detection of dark matter and Large Hadron Collider searches.

The Development and Testing of a Direct Observation Protocol as a Criterion Measure for Children’s Simulated Free-Play Activity
Creators: name: Cox, Melanna
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: INTRODUCTION: Direct observation (DO) systems have been used for decades to assess free-living PA in children. These traditional DO systems identify the highest intensity observed during alternating observe-and-record periods. Using video-taped DO would allow researchers to code activities and contextual information each time the participant changes their behavior. PURPOSE: To develop and test a novel video-based DO system for children’s free-play activity. METHODS: Following iterative DO system development (The Observer XT, Noldus), 28 children (age=8.4 ± 1.5 years) participated in a 30-minute simulated free-play session that was recorded with a GoPro camera. Participants wore a portable indirect calorimetry (IC) device and an accelerometer on the hip (AG-H) and non-dominant wrist (AG-W). The DO system includes Whole Body Movement (body position, main movement pattern) that was further described with four modifiers: 1) Locomotion, 2) Limb Movement, 3) Activity Type, and 4) MET value. To assess intrarater reliability, an expert coder coded six randomly selected videos from the main sample and recoded the same videos one week later. Six novice coders were trained and coded three videos from the subsample to assess interrater reliability. To assess construct validity, total energy expenditure and time spent in activity intensity categories from DO were compared with IC and accelerometer estimates. RESULTS: Percent agreement for intrarater reliability was above 80% except for Locomotion (47%; video 3) and Limb Movement, MET value and Locomotion (19%, 78%, 26%), respectively, video 4). Across all variables, percent agreement for interrater reliability ranged widely from 12%-96%, 0-100%, and 36%-97% for videos 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Mean estimated time spent in PA intensity categories from AG-H overestimated sedentary (SED) and underestimated light, moderate, and moderate-to-vigorous PA (LPA, MPA, and MVPA; p < 0.001-0.008). AG-W and IC underestimated SED (p=0.03, p=0.03) and LPA (p< 0.001, pONCLUSION: The current DO system is feasible for observing detailed changes in children’s free-play activity. However, refinement to the system must be made to improve reliability before it is adopted as a criterion measure for free-play activity in children.
Les Corps Démoniaques dans La Démonomanie des Sorciers : Un Examen Ontologique et Épistémologique
Creators: name: Davis, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: The numerous ontological and epistemological paradoxes found within La Démonomanie des sorciers, a demonological treaty of the 16th century, are studied within the context of demonic corporality: exploiting a rich philosophical and theological intertextuality as well as, more generally, a confessional model of logic, La Démonomanie (1580) constructs a linguistic world of demonic bodies capable of copulation, transformation, and imbuing humans with the power to practice magic. Following in the footsteps of the demonologists who precede him, Bodin constructs a system of the real and of knowledge which is as much dependent upon the authoritative ethos of his intellectual forefathers as upon the increasingly abundant demonological confessions of his own time. Despite the certainty of Jean Bodin’s tone and his fastidious deployment of internal logic, the problematics of such demonic corporality, both with regards to its theological justification as well as to its lack of direct, observable evidence, lead ultimately to an anxious appeal to the political in the text in an attempt to mitigate these aforementioned demonological contradictions and appease those who seek material reassurance. To this end, this orientation from the theological towards the political in the text, which provides a physical anchoring of Bodin’s demonological vision in a protective realm of harmonious, yet divinely necessary opposites to counter the inherent abstraction of its subject matter, certainly provides us with an insight into the divisive and anxiety-laced intellectual landscape of the late French Renaissance, insofar as it illuminates the increasingly prominent naturalist objections to established spiritual orthodoxy. However ultimately efficient this shifting orientation may be in its capacity to mitigate direct concerns, the immediate resolution of the demonic paradox in the text fails to find its complete realization, given that the specter of its own weight is not only a theoretical concern to reasoned away, but also an impossibly elusive, spiritual one—as La Démonomanie becomes as much an apparent political praxis as a demonstration of faith, its ostensibly resolved struggle with demonic corporality still betrays, even at its close, a man’s journey of faith to rid the demonic shadows from an ambiguous reality that even prescribed fire may not be capable of exorcising.

 Distribution. Known from Rattlesnake Filled Cave (type locality), Temples of Thor Cave, and Sunless City Cave (Williamson County, Texas, Fig. 130). The record from Sunless City Cave was identified to species by a DNA match of an immature specimen (see Paquin & Hedin 2004).
 Remarks. Male unknown. Gertsch (1992) gives “southwest of Cricket Cave” in his paper, which differs slightly from the label data. The precise location of Rattlesnake Filled Cave (type locality) has been forgotten and recent efforts to clarify the situation were not successful (James R. Reddell, pers. comm.). Similarly, the location of Cricket Cave is also a mystery. However, Reddell & Finch (1963) provided enough information to estimate the location of Rattlesnake Filled Cave, and these data are judged precise enough for our purposes (see Fig. 130).

description: In crystalline solids the acoustic phonon is known to be the frequency-gapless Goldstone boson emerging from the spontaneous breaking of the continuous Galilean symmetry induced by the crystal lattice. It has also been described as the gauge boson that appears when the free electrons' Lagrangian in the crystal is requested to be locally gauge invariant with respect to T(3), the group of the infinitesimal spatial translations. However, the non-Abelianity of T(3) makes the acoustic phonon a frequency-gapped mode, in contradiction with its description as Goldstone boson. A different perspective overcomes this contradiction. In fact, we show that both the acoustic and optical phonon - the latter never appearing following the other two approaches - emerge respectively as the gapless Goldstone (phase) and the gapped Higgs (amplitude) fluctuation mode of an order parameter arising from the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry, without invoking the gauge principle. The optical phonon's frequency-gap is present in all regimes, and it arises from a mass-like term in the Lagrangian due to the Higgs mechanism itself. Instead, an eventual acoustic phonon's frequency-gap appears only in the strong nonlinear regime, and it is due to an anharmonic term, the same term arising from the gauging of T(3), an approach which did not provide any description of the optical phonon, though. In addition, the Higgs mechanism describes all the phonon-phonon interactions, including a possible perturbation on the acoustic phonon's frequency dispersion relation induced by the eventual optical phonon, a peculiar behavior not described so far in these terms.

description: We present near-infrared observations of 42 gravitationally lensed galaxies obtained in the framework of the KMOS Lensed Emission Lines and VElocity Review (KLEVER) Survey, a program aimed at investigating the spatially resolved properties of the ionised gas in 1.2 3$σ$) "inverted" gradients are also found, showing an anti-correlation between metallicity and star formation rate density on local scales, possibly suggesting recent episodes of pristine gas accretion or strong radial flows in place. Nevertheless, the individual metallicity maps are characterised by a variety of different morphologies, with flat radial gradients sometimes hiding non-axisymmetric variations on kpc scales which are washed out by azimuthal averages, especially in interacting systems or in those undergoing local episodes of recent star formation.

description: Over the past several decades, the nature, intensity, and frequency of conflict have shifted from wars fought directly between states to various forms of "internal" or intrastate violence, such as insurgencies, guerilla wars, terrorism, organized and large-scale criminal violence, and protests. The timing, speed, and permanence of these shifts, however, have varied and are not consistent across all types of political violence. This chapter examines trends in interstate and intrastate conflict since 1946, employing a typology to categorize conflict types and multiple existing data sets to examine changes in the nature and intensity of conflict, as well as how conflict may be shifting from one form to another.

description: We generalize the notion of dissipationless, topological Hall viscosity tensor to optical phonons in thin film Weyl semimetals. By using the strained Porphyrin thin film Weyl semimetal as a model example, we show how optical phonons can couple to Weyl electrons as chiral pseudo gauge fields. These chiral vector fields lead to a novel dissipationless two-rank viscosity tensor in the effective dynamics of optical phonons whose origin is the chiral anomaly. We also compute the contribution to this two rank Hall viscosity tensor due to the presence of an external magnetic field, whose origin is the conventional Hall response of Weyl electrons. Finally, the phonon dispersion relations of the system at the long-wavelength limit with and without an electromagnetic field are calculated showing a measurable shift in the Raman response of the system. Our results can be investigated by Raman scattering or infrared spectroscopy by attenuated total reflectance experiments.

description: Urechis unicinctus is distributed only in Bohai Gulf of China and Korean and Japanese coast. The wild populations of this species have sharply declined in China and Japan. We collected 105 samples from six localities of Bohai Gulf and Korea coast, and investigated genetic diversity and population structure with mitochondrial COI, 16S-rRNA and nuclear 28S-rRNA gene fragments. Genetic diversity of U. unicinctus based on COI sequences was still high (Hd: 0.9595, π: 0.0101), however, 28S-rRNA gene sequences showed low level of genetic diversity (Hd: 0.4084, π: 0.0007). Based on COI sequences, FST values between populations ranged from −0.00204 to 0.05210, and 99.12% genetic diversity was contributed by different individuals within population. Both phylogenetic trees and median-joining network did not show clear geographic cluster, haplotypes from different populations were mixed. Our results indicated low level of genetic divergence among different localities of U. unicinctus, and this species should be treated as a whole population among China, Japan and Korea coast during species conservation.

description: Innovation or S&T policy has become one of the crucial policy domains in almost all the countries during the last three decades. The association between the level of innovation and the socio-economic development of a country has created a considerable national level prominence to work on formulation and implementation of innovation policy which will direct to configure a national level innovation eco-system. This study examines the contribution of National S&T Policy of Sri Lanka published in 2008 together with analysis of the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy 2011-2015 presented in 2010 for making recommendations for effective designing and implementation of the innovation policy in the light of rationality model for policy. Document analysis, secondary data sources and in-depth interviews with key personalities were the methods applied to meet study purposes. The design effort of the Policy and the Strategy is appreciated as this was the first attempt in formulation a policy in innovation in Sri Lanka. Nevertheless, incompatibilities that the two documents presented have created inconsistency of the goals and objectives. Loop holes in assigning strategic actions amongst relevant actors, lack of guidance for resource allocation, and ambiguity in coordination and communication are highlighted as weaknesses in these policy initiatives. Overall, it reveals that the gap between stipulated goals and objectives of the Policy and the level of attainment has been widening annually over 10 years of the policy formulation. Therefore, this study recommends that it necessitates the policy to be appropriately adjusted in order to meet with timely needs and crafting actionable strategies accordingly.

description: We report water wave experiments performed in a long tank where we consider the evolution of nonlinear deep-water surface gravity waves with the envelope in the form of a large-scale rectangular barrier. Our experiments reveal that, for a range of initial parameters, the nonlinear wave packet is not disintegrated by the Benjamin-Feir instability but exhibits a specific, strongly nonlinear modulation, which propagates from the edges of the wavepacket towards the center with finite speed. Using numerical tools of nonlinear spectral analysis of experimental data we identify the observed envelope wave structures with focusing dispersive dam break flows, a peculiar type of dispersive shock waves recently described in the framework of the semi-classical limit of the 1D focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation (1D-NLSE). Our experimental results are shown to be in a good quantitative agreement with the predictions of the semi-classical 1D-NLSE theory. This is the first observation of the persisting dispersive shock wave dynamics in a modulationally unstable water wave system.

Offering zero-rated content in the shadow of net neutrality

description: In the recent Telenor case, the EU Court of Justice has for the first time interpreted the relationship between net neutrality regulation and zero-rating offers, considering the former incompatible with the offer of packages in which data traffic generated by certain applications does not count towards the consumption of the data volume purchased and whereby, once that data volume has been used up, end-users may continue to use those applications without restriction, while other applications are blocked or slowed. However, despite their incompatibility with the net neutrality principle of non-discrimination, zero-rating offers may provide benefits to consumers, fostering broadband consumption and promoting product differentiation without necessarily leading to the exclusion of content providers. Therefore, a revision of the net neutrality regulation is needed in order to assess this practice in accordance with an ex post case-by-case investigation

description: The panel data of 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions was used in order to test the relationship between economic development and urban land. The result showed that the sequences of economic development and urban land were in accordance with first order integration. Secondly, there was cointegration between economic development and urban land and the cointegration equation illustrated that 10% of increase in GDP per capita would drive 4.94% of expansion in city construction land. Thirdly, according to error correction model, economic development is the Granger cause of urban land expansion in the long term while the reverse relationship was not proved. In short-term, economic development and urban land expansion were Granger causes of each other. The long-term equilibrium can only regulate the short-term imbalance of urban land, arriving at 33.83%. Therefore, the government should formulate related policies to encourage real estate developers and enterprises to increase land utilization efficiency, strictly control the increase of urban land and regulate short-term imbalance.
