Year: 2012

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: © 2015 Young, Smith, Coutlee and Huettel. Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders exhibit distinct personality traits linked to attentional, social, and affective functions, and those traits are expressed with varying levels of severity in the neurotypical and subclinical population. Variation in autistic traits has been linked to reduced functional and structural connectivity (i.e., underconnectivity, or reduced synchrony) with neural networks modulated by attentional, social, and affective functions. Yet, it remains unclear whether reduced synchrony between these neural networks contributes to autistic traits. To investigate this issue, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to record brain activation while neurotypical participants who varied in their subclinical scores on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) viewed alternating blocks of social and nonsocial stimuli (i.e., images of faces and of landscape scenes). We used independent component analysis (ICA) combined with a spatiotemporal regression to quantify synchrony between neural networks. Our results indicated that decreased synchrony between the executive control network (ECN) and a face-scene network (FSN) predicted higher scores on the AQ. This relationship was not explained by individual differences in head motion, preferences for faces, or personality variables related to social cognition. Our findings build on clinical reports by demonstrating that reduced synchrony between distinct neural networks contributes to a range of subclinical autistic traits.

Dissecting the genetic architecture of multiple sclerosis
Creators: name: Lin, R
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) triggered by environmental and genetic factors. There is considerable evidence for a significant genetic component to MS susceptibility, such that genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully revealed about 100 common genetic variants associated with MS. However, at least 60% of the overall heritability of MS has not been delineated, so-called missing heritability‚ÄövÑvp. This thesis describes a series of experiments to further elucidate the missing heritability‚ÄövÑvp of MS.

description: Wood is a viscoelastic composite material that has been historically prominent in the construction of buildings and continues to see widespread use. When used for exterior applications, wood is exposed to dynamic environmental conditions and can degrade if left untreated. Previous research by Lemaire-Paul et al. (2022) has proven that vacuum impregnation of the wood cell structure with a silica (SiO₂) nanoparticle colloid under a vacuum pressure of -90 kPa can enhance the viscoelastic properties, increase the density, and reduce the water uptake of white spruce wood. However, the behaviour of SiO₂-treated wood under different environmental conditions over time has yet to be fully explored. This research aims to examine the durability and performance of SiO₂-treated spruce wood samples subjected to accelerated aging conditions under high temperature and humidity as well as freeze-thaw cycling. Spruce wood samples were treated with 40% SiO₂ nanoparticle colloid under a vacuum pressure of -90 kPa. One set was placed in a hydrolytic aging chamber at 90°C and 80% RH. Another set was placed in a freeze-thaw cycling chamber that cycled from 25°C to -18°C and back at a rate of 6 cycles per day. The samples were removed at regular intervals and thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, tensiometry, X-Ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy were performed. When compared to the results obtained from a set of non-treated samples, it was found that the SiO₂-treated samples exhibited lower water uptake values that stabilized over time, as well as a lower rate of decrease in peak cellulose degradation temperatures under hydrolytic aging and a slight increase in peak cellulose degradation temperature over time under freeze-thaw aging. The effects of both aging conditions on the viscoelastic properties of the samples were also found to be insignificant. Both types of samples under both types of aging also exhibited an increase in crystallinity over time. These results indicate that the durability and properties of wood can be improved through nano-SiO₂ impregnation as the material remains relatively stable when subjected to high temperature and humidity conditions as well as freeze-thaw cycling over time.

description: Hematopoiesis is a complex biological process that leads to the production and regulation of blood cells. It is based upon differentiation of stem cells under the action of growth factors. A mathematical approach of this process is proposed to carry out explanation on some blood diseases, characterized by oscillations in circulating blood cells. A system of three differential equations with delay, corresponding to the cell cycle duration, is analyzed. The existence of a Hopf bifurcation for a positive steady-state is obtained through the study of an exponential polynomial characteristic equation with delay-dependent coefficients. Numerical simulations show that long period oscillations can be obtained in this model, corresponding to a destabilization of the feedback regulation between blood cells and growth factors. This stresses the localization of periodic hematological diseases in the feedback loop.

description: © The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution. Genomic data are rapidly resolving the tree of living species calibrated to time, the timetree of life, which will provide a framework for research in diverse fields of science. Previous analyses of taxonomically restricted timetrees have found a decline in the rate of diversification in many groups of organisms, often attributed to ecological interactions among species. Here, we have synthesized a global timetree of life from 2,274 studies representing 50,632 species and examined the pattern and rate of diversification as well as the timing of speciation. We found that species diversity has been mostly expanding overall and in many smaller groups of species, and that the rate of diversification in eukaryotes has been mostly constant. We also identified, and avoided, potential biases that may have influenced previous analyses of diversification including low levels of taxon sampling, small clade size, and the inclusion of stem branches in clade analyses. We found consistency in time-to-speciation among plants and animals, ∼2 My, as measured by intervals of crown and stem species times. Together, this clock-like change at different levels suggests that speciation and diversification are processes dominated by random events and that adaptive change is largely a separate process.

description: © 2015 Hans Gollwitzer et al. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FTIRI) was used to study bone healing with spatial analysis of various callus tissues in wild type mice. Femoral fractures were produced in 28 male C57BL mice by osteotomy. Animals were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks to obtain callus tissue at well-defined healing stages. Following microcomputerized tomography, bone samples were cut in consecutive sections for FTIRI and histology, allowing for spatial correlation of both imaging methods in different callus areas (early calcified cartilage, woven bone, areas of intramembranous and endochondral bone formation). Based on FTIRI, mineral/matrix ratio increased significantly during the first 4 weeks of fracture healing in all callus areas and correlated with bone mineral density measured by micro-CT. Carbonate/phosphate ratio was elevated in newly formed calcified tissue and at week 2 attained values comparable to cortical bone. Collagen maturity and mineral crystallinity increased during weeks 1-8 in most tissues while acid phosphate substitution decreased. Temporal and callus area dependent changes were detected throughout the healing period. These data assert the usefulness of FTIRI for evaluation of fracture healing in the mouse and its potential to evaluate pathologic fracture healing and the effects of therapeutic interventions.

Emergence of coherence in the charge-density wave state of 2H-NbSe2

description: © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. A charge-density wave (CDW) state has a broken symmetry described by a complex order parameter with an amplitude and a phase. The conventional view, based on clean, weak-coupling systems, is that a finite amplitude and long-range phase coherence set in simultaneously at the CDW transition temperature Tcdw. Here we investigate, using photoemission, X-ray scattering and scanning tunnelling microscopy, the canonical CDW compound 2H-NbSe2 intercalated with Mn and Co, and show that the conventional view is untenable. We find that, either at high temperature or at large intercalation, CDW order becomes short-ranged with a well-defined amplitude, which has impacts on the electronic dispersion, giving rise to an energy gap. The phase transition at Tcdw marks the onset of long-range order with global phase coherence, leading to sharp electronic excitations. Our observations emphasize the importance of phase fluctuations in strongly coupled CDW systems and provide insights into the significance of phase incoherence in 'pseudogap' states.

description: We study the discrete light cone quantization of Kerr-AdS_{d+3} black holes with a plane wave boundary. The resulting backgrounds are conjectured to be dual of non-relativist conformal quantum mechanical theories in d spatial dimensions at finite temperature and finite chemical potential. This includes the discrete light cone quantization of Kerr-AdS_4 and Kerr-AdS_6 black holes. These are conjectured to be dual of non-relativistic conformal quantum mechanical theories in one and three spatial dimensions, respectively, which are defined on plane wave backgrounds. We also consider the case of the BTZ black hole. We calculate thermodynamic properties of these systems by using the gravity dual models. We discuss the embedding of these backgrounds in string theory and M-theory. We give general formulas for the discrete light cone quantization of Kerr-AdS black holes in higher dimensions and their thermodynamic properties.

description: © Hawley et al. Background: As obesity has increased worldwide, so have levels of obesity during pregnancy and excess gestational weight gain (GWG). The aim of this paper was to describe GWG among American Samoan women and examine the association between GWG and four adverse pregnancy and infant outcomes: cesarean delivery, small- and large-for-gestational age (SGA/LGA), and infant overweight/obesity. Methods: Data were extracted from prenatal care records of 632 Samoan women. Mixed-effects growth models were used to produce individual weight-for-gestational week curves from which second and third trimester weight gain was estimated. Binary logistic regression was used to examine associations between GWG and the outcomes of interest. Results: Most women were overweight/obese in early pregnancy (86%) and 78% exceeded the Institute of Medicine GWG guidelines. Greater GWG in the second trimester and early pregnancy weight were independently associated with increased odds of a c-section (OR 1.40 [95% CI: 1.08, 1.83]) and OR 1.51 [95% CI: 1.17, 1.95], respectively). Risk of delivering a LGA infant increased with greater third trimester weight gain and higher early pregnancy weight, while second trimester weight gain was negatively associated with SGA. Risk of infant overweight/obesity at 12 months increased with early pregnancy weight (OR: 1.23 [95% CI: 1.01, 1.51]) and infant birthweight. Conclusions: The high levels of pregnancy obesity and excessive GWG in American Samoa suggest that it is important for physicians to encourage women into prenatal care early and begin education about appropriate GWG and the potential risks of excess weight gain for both the mother and baby.

description: Even though the etymology and historical origin of patents suggest openness (“Open Letters”), the protection of intellectual property through patents is often perceived as inherently at odds with Open Science principles. This often leads researchers, even those merely considering the possibility of obtaining a patent, to withhold potentially patentable research findings and to be reluctant to adopt transparent scholarly communication practices, such as open publishing of research articles and sharing of research data. In this opinion piece, we explore the relationship between patents and Open Science practices, highlighting how and when they can co-exist in a balanced way without being mutually exclusive. In particular, three strategies are highlighted, which can help researchers adopt Open Science practices while still meeting the novelty requirements for patenting their inventions. These are (1) releasing research findings in Open Science formats after the filing date (priority date) of the first patent application, (2) releasing research findings in Open Science formats before the priority date under novelty grace periods available in some jurisdictions and (3) adopting a clear policy on intellectual property and Open Science disclosure that delineate what can be shared immediately and what must be temporarily withheld to protect potential patent rights. This opinion piece also emphasises the need for greater support and investment in non-commercial infrastructures for open patent information, in line with the commitments of the recently launched Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information.

The effects of positive reinforcement and a token program in a public junior high school class

Year: 2011

description: The operant level of inappropriate behavior was obtained for six students in a non-academic grade nine class receiving an individualized program of instruction in mathematics and science. Two conditions, educational structure and praising appropriate behavior while ignoring inappropriate behavior, were introduced successively. Both procedures reduced inappropriate behavior with five subjects. When a token reinforcement program, using back-up reinforcers readily available in the school, was introduced in conjunction with the conditions of educational structures and praising and ignoring; dramatic decline in the emission of inappropriate responses occurred with all six subjects. Withdrawal of the token program, leaving Educational structure and praising and ignoring in effect, resulted in an increase of inappropriate behavior with five subjects. The token program was reintroduced in conjunction with contingency contracts. The result was a decline of inappropriate behavior below the mean of the first token phase for all subjects. Tokens were thinned during the second token phase leaving back-up reinforcers, teacher-praise and attention, and the completion of contracts in effect. Data obtained during follow-up indicated that the thinning procedure was effective with no subsequent increase in behavior for any subject. The token program, utilized during one of the four blocks in the school time table, appeared to reduce absenteeism. Further evidence that appropriate behavior did generalize to other classes.

description: We propose the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) as a well-suited candidate for superheavy dark matter (SHDM). Various production mechanisms at the end of inflation can produce SHDM with the correct abundance, $Ω_{LSP} h^2 \sim 0.1$, if its mass is sufficiently high. In particular, gravitational production requires that the mass $m_{LSP}$ of the LSP is above $3\times 10^{11} GeV$. Weak interactions remain perturbative despite the large mass hierarchy, $m_{LSP}\gg m_Z$, because of the special decoupling properties of supersymmetry. As a result the model is predictive and we discuss the relevant cosmological processes for the case of a superheavy neutralino within this scheme.

description: Timber moment resisting connections have gained considerable interest in structural design due to the numerous advantages offered by timber as a lightweight, renewable, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing material. This research focuses on investigating the feasibility and potential benefits of hybrid timber-steel moment connections in enhancing the seismic performance and ductility of timber structures. The objective is to evaluate the response modification factors of the hybrid timbersteel moment-resisting frames to see if this type of moment connection has the ability to perform like steel moment-resisting frames in lateral loadings. The process by which the studied frames were designed was focused on preventing damage to timber elements by inducing inelastic deformations exclusively in the steel beams, while the remaining parts of the frame retain their elasticity. Nonlinear static analysis is employed to evaluate the force modification factors and nonlinear behavior of the selected structures. In this study, a total of 18 frames with different span lengths, numbers of stories, and seismicity levels were analyzed to comprehensively investigate their seismic performance. The frames were designed to represent a range of practical configurations commonly found in timber structures. The span lengths of 4, 6, and 8 meters were considered. The number of stories were 2, 4, and 6, and the frames were located in Montreal, QC, and Vancouver, BC, which are known for having varying seismic conditions. By considering a diverse set of frames, this study tried to provide a comprehensive understanding of the behavior and performance of different timber frame structures under seismic loading, taking into account the effects of span length, number of stories, and regional seismic conditions. The results of the analysis offer a preliminary understanding of the seismic performance and potential advantages of steel-timber moment connection frames. However, it should be noted that further research is needed to conduct full-scale experimental tests to validate the proposed connections and gather more accurate data. The findings from this study have the potential to contribute to the development of new seismic provisions for moment connection timber frame systems, advancing the field of timber structural design and offering potential design schemes that increase ductility and performance in timber moment resisting connections.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: Chronic pain is undertreated in residents living with dementia. The objectives of this study are to (1) describe the rates of opioid and non-opioid analgesics prescribed to treat chronic severe pain, stratified by dementia status, in LTC residents in their last year of life, and (2) examine differences in the prescription of opioids used to treat chronic severe pain in the last month of life, stratified by their dementia status. Using the Resident Assessment Instrument - Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS) we stratified the cohort according to resident dementia status and identified all use of opioids and non-opioids in the last year of life. The findings from this study indicate that the rates of opioids or non-opioids prescribed to residents in LTC who experienced chronic severe pain did not differ according to dementia status. Adequate pain management in LTC is a complex task that warrants further investigation.

description: The Wellcome Sanger Institute will sequence and assemble tens of thousands of genomes across the next decade through large-scale biodiversity sequencing projects such as Darwin Tree of Life. The projects span the entire tree of eukaryotic life, and the genomes will enable new and unprecedented science. But assembling a genome is just the first step on this journey. Most studies analyse features annotated on the genomes, rather than the raw DNA sequences themselves. To facilitate this, we will compute a set of elementary sequence analyses on every genome that comes out of the institute and provide the tracks on a publicly available server through Track Hubs. Envisaged tracks include sequence composition analysis (and by extension k-mer frequency analysis for several k), repeat, gene, and variants distributions. The goal is to save the community efforts and resources by providing a uniform dataset, whilst reducing the overall carbon footprint of genome analysis.
