Integrated cognitive endurance training to improve physical performance in an endurance test: a pilot study
Creators: name: Cooper, Daniel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Purpose – The purpose of this pilot project was to determine whether an integrated, cognitive endurance and physiological training intervention improved performance on a specific time trial task in comparison to physiological training in isolation. Methods – The participants (n=16) were recruited from a premier grade rugby union competition during their regular pre-season training period. Participants completed an aerobic performance task (1.2-km shuttle run test) at the start of the intervention. They then completed four weeks of either integrated cognitive endurance and physiological training (CET) or physiological training (PT). The CET undertook an n-back 2-back task simultaneously whilst conducting the physiological training session. Both groups conducted identical physical conditioning sessions twice per week during weekly team training sessions. However, the CET group had the addition of the n-back 2-back task integrated into their training. At the completion of the four-week intervention both groups were re-tested on the 1.2km SRT to determine whether any changes in performance were evident. Results – Analysis of the data revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in performance between the CET group and the PT group (p=.485). The mean pre-test performance data for the two groups was 323 seconds and 312 seconds for the CET and PT groups, respectively. Post-test mean times were 311 seconds and 303 seconds for CET and PT groups, respectively. The mean change in performance times was 12 seconds (3.7%) and 9 seconds (2.5%) for the CET and PT groups, respectively. Conclusion – Although the results did not reveal statistically significant changes between the CET and PT groups, there are a number of useful observations that may explain the outcomes. Despite the groups being randomly allocated at the beginning of the research, the PT group was significantly faster at baseline (p < 0.05) and had a much larger standard deviation than the CET group (33 v 16 secs). Consequently, the two groups were not evenly matched at the beginning of the intervention. Therefore, it is likely that any statistical findings may have been masked. The CET group did improve beyond the PT group by 3 seconds (approximately 1%), which is considered of practical importance. For future research, an extended intervention program should be used. A minimum of six-weeks is recommended. Further, participant groups should be pseudo-randomised to ensure there are no marked differences in their baseline performance measures.

description: The success of automatic classification of variable stars strongly depends on the lightcurve representation. Usually, lightcurves are represented as a vector of many statistical descriptors designed by astronomers called features. These descriptors commonly demand significant computational power to calculate, require substantial research effort to develop and do not guarantee good performance on the final classification task. Today, lightcurve representation is not entirely automatic; algorithms that extract lightcurve features are designed by humans and must be manually tuned up for every survey. The vast amounts of data that will be generated in future surveys like LSST mean astronomers must develop analysis pipelines that are both scalable and automated. Recently, substantial efforts have been made in the machine learning community to develop methods that prescind from expert-designed and manually tuned features for features that are automatically learned from data. In this work we present what is, to our knowledge, the first unsupervised feature learning algorithm designed for variable stars. Our method first extracts a large number of lightcurve subsequences from a given set of photometric data, which are then clustered to find common local patterns in the time series. Representatives of these patterns, called exemplars, are then used to transform lightcurves of a labeled set into a new representation that can then be used to train an automatic classifier. The proposed algorithm learns the features from both labeled and unlabeled lightcurves, overcoming the bias generated when the learning process is done only with labeled data. We test our method on MACHO and OGLE datasets; the results show that the classification performance we achieve is as good and in some cases better than the performance achieved using traditional features, while the computational cost is significantly lower.

Year: 2022

description: Hoy en día, se reconoce casi universalmente que las causas del cultivo de drogas ilícitas tienen raíces socioeconómicas. Se argumenta que lo que se necesita en respuesta es desarrollo. Sin embargo, el concepto de desarrollo bajo el cual operan las políticas de drogas - como el Desarrollo Alternativo (DA) - está en gran parte divorciado de siglos de experiencia práctica. El 'desarrollo' se ha convertido en una colección de iniciativas rurales aisladas, en lugar de, como se entendía tradicionalmente, un cambio estructural en la economía nacional hacia actividades de mayor valor. El resultado ha sido el repetido fracaso de tales políticas. Los analistas de políticas de drogas también han descuidado los factores estructurales al evaluar las fuentes de cultivo. Los modelos económicos nacionales se consideran irrelevantes y se ignoran. Se supone que la DA, si se implementa correctamente, funcionará igualmente bien en cualquier entorno económico. Décadas de fracaso demuestran que este no es el caso. El informe sostiene que una política genuina 'enfocada en el desarrollo' se basaría, no en proyectos aislados, sino en un cambio estructural de la economía nacional

description: We report the characterization of a massive (m_p=3.9 +- 1.4 M_jup) microlensing planet (OGLE-2015-BLG-0954Lb) orbiting an M dwarf host (M=0.33 +- 0.12 M_sun) at a distance toward the Galactic bulge of 0.6 (+0.4,-0.2) kpc, which is extremely nearby by microlensing standards. The planet-host projected separation is a_perp ~ 1.2 AU. The characterization was made possible by the wide-field (4 sq. deg.) high cadence (Gamma = 6/hr) monitoring of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), which had two of its three telescopes in commissioning operations at the time of the planetary anomaly. The source crossing time t_* = 16 min is among the shortest ever published. The high-cadence, wide-field observations that are the hallmark of KMTNet are the only way to routinely capture such short crossings. High-cadence resolution of short caustic crossings will preferentially lead to mass and distance measurements for the lens. This is because the short crossing time typically implies a nearby lens, which enables the measurement of additional effects (bright lens and/or microlens parallax). When combined with the measured crossing time, these effects can yield planet/host masses and distance.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of Project: This quality improvement project was meant to increase the identification of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) using a validated screening tool measuring the impact GSM has on quality of life. Methodology: A retrospective and prospective chart review was conducted at a large suburban obstetrical and gynecological practice in southern New Jersey. The chart review consisted of measuring rates of diagnosis for GSM using specific ICD-10 codes before and after implementation of the Day-to Day-Impact on Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire. Also, treatment rates were measured for those diagnosed with GSM pre- and post-implementation of the questionnaire. Results: In the retrospective chart review, 28 of 269 eligible patients were identified as receiving a diagnosis of GSM for the four-week period. In the prospective chart review, 32 of 215 eligible patients received a diagnosis consistent with GSM. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.858). Additional analyses were conducted to compare visit type and ethnicity which did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.943 and p = 0.547 respectively),Implications for Practice: This project identified gaps in education with women’s healthcare providers regarding GSM, primarily its impact on sexual health.

description: We interpret the diphoton anomaly as a heavy scalar $H_3$ in the so-called 331 model. The scalar is responsible for breaking the $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry down to the standard model electroweak gauge group. It mainly couples to the standard model gluons and photons through quantum loops involving heavy quarks and leptons. Those quarks and leptons, in together with the SM quarks and leptons, form the fundamental representation of the 331 model. We use low energy theorem to calculate effective coupling of $H_3gg$, $H_3γγ$, $H_3ZZ$, $H_3WW$ and $H_3Zγ$. The analytical results can be applied to new physics models satisfying the low energy theorem. We show that the heavy quark and lepton contribution cannot produce enough diphoton pairs. It is crucial to include the contribution of charged scalars to explain the diphoton excess. The extra neutral $Z^\prime$ boson could also explain the 2 TeV diboson excess observed at the LHC Run-I.

description: For a two-level system, it is believed that a far-off-resonant driving can not help coherent population transfer between the states. In this work, we propose a scheme to implement the coherent transfer with far-off-resonant driving. The scheme works well with both constant driving and Gaussian driving. The total time to finish population transfer is also minimized by optimizing the detuning and coupling constants. We find that the scheme is sensitive to spontaneous emission much more than dephasing. It might find potential applications in X-ray quantum optics and population transfer in Rydberg atoms as well.

Simulation based-training for intraoperative cardiac arrest
Creators: name: Langone, Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of Project: To develop multiple simulation scenarios for perioperative staff to practice and increase competency levels in managing intraoperative cardiac arrest. Methodology:This quality improvement project took place from October 2022 to December 2022 at a medical center in Eastern Central, New Jersey. Perioperative staff participated in simulations that took place over two days and consisted of a pre-brief, scenario, and debrief session. Both scenarios focused on intraoperative cardiac arrest, specifically with patients in the prone position. Five simulations were done simultaneously with nine participants in each group. Groups were evaluated as a whole, using a checklist developed by the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), and given a score based on how many data points were successfully performed. A total of 21 data points were collected from the checklists, with each data point having a potential score of 1. Results:A total of 45 participants comprised five groups that were evaluated on the two days of simulation. The mean scores for day one and day two were 13.6 and 17.9, with standard deviations of 1.0 and 1.1, respectively. Statistical analysis illustrated a statistically significant change in scores between simulation day 1 and simulation day 2 (Z = -5.902, p <.001). Implications:While the main objective of this quality improvement project was to increase competency levels of perioperative staff, other areas of potential research were discovered. During debriefing sessions, the importance of delineation of roles, use of emergency manuals, and closed-loop communication were brought to light. The medical center has expressed interest in continuing the simulation program implemented during this project and will continue to apply the methods used to other low-frequency/high-risk scenarios.

description: In this paper we discuss the adiabatic projection method, a general framework for scattering and reaction calculations on the lattice. We also introduce several new techniques developed to study nucleus-nucleus scattering and reactions on the lattice. We present technical details of the method for large-scale problems. To estimate the systematic errors of the calculations we consider simple two-particle scattering on the lattice. Then we benchmark the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical methods by applying these to calculate fermion-dimer scattering in lattice effective field theory with and without a long-range Coulomb potential. The fermion-dimer calculations correspond to neutron-deuteron and proton-deuteron scattering in the spin-quartet channel at leading order in the pionless effective field theory.

description: Career guidance for students, particularly in rural areas is a challenging issue in India. In the present era of digitalization, there is a need of an automated system that can analyze a student for his/her capabilities, suggest a career and provide related information. Keeping in mind the requirement, the present paper is an effort in this direction. In this paper, a fuzzy based conceptual framework has been suggested. It has two parts; in the first part a students will be analyzed for his/her capabilities and in the second part the available courses, job aspects related to their capabilities will be suggested. To analyze a student, marks in various subject in 10+2 standards and vocational interest in different fields have been considered and fuzzy sets have been formed. On example basis, fuzzy inference rules have been framed for analyzing the abilities in engineering, medical and hospitality fields only. In second part, concept of composition of relations has been used to suggest the related courses and jobs.

description: A renormalizable theory of gravity is obtained if the dimension-less 4-derivative kinetic term of the graviton, which classically suffers from negative unbounded energy, admits a sensible quantisation. We find that a 4-derivative degree of freedom involves a canonical coordinate with unusual time-inversion parity, and that a correspondingly unusual representation must be employed for the relative quantum operator. The resulting theory has positive energy eigenvalues, normalisable wave functions, unitary evolution in a negative-norm configuration space. We present a formalism for quantum mechanics with a generic norm.

description: This thesis explores the influences of culture on Chinese overseas student's success and satisfaction in their studies. In this research, the success and satisfaction was measured using an instrument Overseas Student Opinion Survey Questionnaire (OSOSQ) that was specifically designed for this research. Focus group data was also obtained to establish what factors other than culture could influence overseas student success and satisfaction in their studies. The research also examined the student's cognitive style using the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) to explore the relationship between culture and cognitive style. Using Hofstede's Cultural Layers Model as a framework to explore cultural influences, it was found that student's perceptions of success and satisfaction was most influenced by cultural values as described by Hofstede's cultural identifiers: "Symbol", "Hero", "Ritual" and "Value". The research revealed that these cultural identifiers influenced student's perceptions as determined by context. The "Value" identifier proved to be the most potent cultural identifier but this interacts with the other cultural identifiers. The research established an association between cultural values and cognitive style. Another outcome of the research finding was that other factors, in particularly, a generational factor and a motivational factor also influenced student's success and satisfaction in their studies. Interaction between cultural factors and other factors were evident. The findings of the research were considered in the design and planning for learning environments for Chinese overseas students.
The relaxation rate of a stochastic spreading process in a closed ring

description: The relaxation process of a diffusive ring becomes under-damped if the bias (so called affinity) exceeds a critical threshold value, aka delocalization transition. This is related to the spectral properties of the pertinent stochastic kernel. We find the dependence of the relaxation rate on the affinity and on the length of the ring. Additionally we study the implications of introducing a weak-link into the circuit, and illuminate some subtleties that arise while taking the continuum limit of the discrete model.

description: We consider violation of Lorentz invariance in QED induced by a very high frequency background wave. An effective theory is obtained by averaging observables over the rapid field oscillations. This preserves Ward identities and restores translation invariance below the high frequency scale, but only partial Lorentz invariance: we show that the effective theory is C-invariant SIM(2)-QED in Very Special Relativity. Averaging generates the nonlocal terms familiar from SIM(2) theories, while the short-distance behaviour of the background field fermion propagator generates the infinite number of higher-order vertices of SIM(2)-QED.

description: Under non-equilibrium conditions, bosonic modes can become dynamically unstable with an exponentially growing occupation. On the other hand, topological band structures give rise to symmetry protected midgap states. In this letter, we investigate the interplay of instability and topology. Thereby, we establish a general relation between topology and instability under ac-driving. We apply our findings to create dynamical instabilities which are strongly localized at the boundaries of a finite-size system. As these localized instabilities are protected by symmetry, they can be considered as topological instabilities.

Shot noise in NS junctions with Weyl superconductor

description: We demonstrate that current-current correlations (in particular the shot noise), can be used to study the intrinsic superconductivity in a slightly doped Weyl semi-metal. The systems studied is an N-WS tunneling junction where the left electrode is a normal metal while the right electrode is a Weyl superconductor (WS). The superconductivity supports surface state with crossed flat bands thereby impact the low energy spectrum. This spectrum displays a modified density of states in the gap region that strongly affects transport characteristics of the N-WS junction. The Fano factor is calculated as function of the applied bias, and shown to be dependent essentially on the orientation of the surface of WS relative to the tunneling direction. If this orientation supports the occurrence of low energy state, then the shot noise power decreases with decreasing voltage, a property similar to that prevailing in a junction with Majorana bound state.

description: To measure the $R$ value in an energy scan experiment with $\ee$ collisions, precise calculation of initial state radiation is required in event generators. We present an event generator for this consideration, which incorporates initial state radiation effects up to the second order accuracy, and the radiative correction factor is calculated using the totally hadronic Born cross section. The measured exclusive processes are generated according to their cross sections, while the unknown processes are generated using the LUND Area Law model, and its parameters are tuned with data collected at $\sqrt s=3.65$ GeV. The optimized values are validated with data in the range $\sqrt s=2.2324\sim3.671$ GeV. These optimized parameters are universally valid for event generation below the $D\bar D$ threshold.

A global fit of the $γ$-ray galactic center excess within the scalar singlet Higgs portal model

description: We analyse the excess in the $γ$-ray emission from the center of our galaxy observed by Fermi-LAT in terms of dark matter annihilation within the scalar Higgs portal model. In particular, we include the astrophysical uncertainties from the dark matter distribution and allow for unspecified additional dark matter components. We demonstrate through a detailed numerical fit that the strength and shape of the $γ$-ray spectrum can indeed be described by the model in various regions of dark matter masses and couplings. Constraints from invisible Higgs decays, direct dark matter searches, indirect searches in dwarf galaxies and for $γ$-ray lines, and constraints from the dark matter relic density reduce the parameter space to dark matter masses near the Higgs resonance. We find two viable regions: one where the Higgs-dark matter coupling is of ${\cal O}(10^{-2})$, and an additional dark matter component beyond the scalar WIMP of our model is preferred, and one region where the Higgs-dark matter coupling may be significantly smaller, but where the scalar WIMP constitutes a significant fraction or even all of dark matter. Both viable regions are hard to probe in future direct detection and collider experiments.

Helical gaps in interacting Rashba wires at low electron densities

description: Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field perpendicular to the Rashba axis have been predicted to open a partial gap ("helical gap") in the energy spectrum of noninteracting or weakly interacting one-dimensional quantum wires. By comparing kinetic energy and Coulomb energy we show that this gap opening typically occurs at low electron densities where the Coulomb energy dominates. To address this strongly correlated limit, we investigate Rashba wires using Wigner crystal theory. We find that the helical gap exists even in the limit of strong interactions but its dependence on electron density differs significantly from the weakly interacting case. In particular, we find that the critical magnetic field for opening the gap becomes an oscillatory function of electron density. This changes strongly the expected signature of the helical gap in conductance measurements.

description: We study the dynamics and stability in a strongly interacting resonantly driven two-band model. Using exact numerical simulations, we find a stable regime at large driving frequencies where the time evolution is governed by a local Floquet Hamiltonian that is approximately conserved out to very long times. For slow driving, on the other hand, the system becomes unstable and heats up to infinite temperature. While thermalization is relatively fast in these two regimes (but to different "temperatures"), in the crossover between them we find slow nonthermalizing time evolution: temporal fluctuations become strong and temporal correlations long lived. Microscopically, we trace back the origin of this nonthermalizing time evolution to the properties of rare Floquet many-body resonances, whose proliferation at lower driving frequency removes the approximate energy conservation, and thus produces thermalization to infinite temperature.

The impact of staff selection, marketing and development on the emergence of a planned school culture

description: Effectively establishing a new school culture relies on understanding the systemic framework underpinning the Mission of the School, as well as being cognisant of the relevant demographic, economic, political, social and educational parameters within which it will operate. Most importantly, there must be awareness and sensitivity to the desires of its prospective students and families. Research conducted at St Andrew's Anglican College sought to determine whether selecting the right staff team, utilising both individualist and collectivist approaches, would establish a College which could satisfy these demands and ensure the emergence of the envisioned culture. A hypothetical model depicts the correlation of Staff Selection Criteria with emergent culture. This is cross referenced with Aspects of Culture as determined by House et al. Qualitative research undertaken through Focus Group Sessions with representatives of all stakeholder groups, is aligned with these Aspects of Culture. Denzin and Lincoln's Bricoleur methodology inspired the augmenting of focus group data with additional material conveying in totality the character of the emergent College culture and the impact of staff selection, marketing and development. Links between a positive emergent College culture and the model of Staff Selection Criteria utilised at St Andrew's are demonstrated. Consequently, this model may be of interest to other new schools, especially emergent Anglican or other faith-based schools within Australia and internationally. The model can continue to benefit the College in its subsequent stages of development and could also be utilised by other established schools wishing to develop similar characteristics in their organisational cultures.
