description: Abstract: Present study is an investigation of different personality traits in cancer patients who came to Saba Clinic in Esfahan, Iran during 2013-2014. It is an applied descriptive survey research. Participants were 60 cancer patients of Saba clinic in Esfahan, Iran, 30 male and 30 female. Sampling was done using stratified method. Using Strong Vocational Interest Blank, one can measure the extent of six personality traits (i.e. conventional, investigative, enterprising, social, artistic and realistic). Independent t-test and descriptive indexes were using for analyzing data and for decoding the most prevalent personality trait in cancer patients, Friedman Test was used. Results showed that average age for cancer male patients was 49.1 (mean: 52) and for females was 42.4 (mean: 39). Most of patients had associate degree or less. A significant difference was observed between artistic, enterprising, social and investigative male patients and the same ones in female group. No meaningful difference was detected between conventional-investigative personality traits in cancer male and female patients. It was observed that the number of artistic, social and investigative personality traits was more among female cancer patients and number of social, realistic and enterprising personality traits was more among male patients. Data, also, showed that social personality, comparing other personality traits, was more prevalent in male cancer patients and social and artistic personality traits, comparing other personality traits, were similarly more prevalent in female cancer patients.

description: Given the high prevalence of social impairments in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; Nijmeijer et al., 2008), it is important to understand how ADHD symptomatology relates to children’s social interactions. The three major symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. As such, children who are high on ADHD symptomatology may have difficulty controlling their negative emotional responses and motor behaviors, which may result in aggressive behaviors towards peers. We hypothesize that children with higher ADHD symptomatology will show more aggression towards unfamiliar peers in the lab. Participants (N = 291) were 4-year-olds recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study investigating the impact of infant temperament on development. ADHD symptoms were assessed using parent report on the ADHD scale of the Child Behavior Checklist. Aggression was observed in the lab during an unstructured free play task with an unfamiliar peer. The regression results indicated that ADHD symptomatology was positively related to aggression toward unfamiliar peers (𝛽 = 0.177, p = 0.011), even after accounting for gender differences with boys showing more aggression than girls (𝛽 = 0.238, p = 0.001). Our findings suggest that children with higher ADHD symptomatology show more aggression towards peers in the lab. This may be a reasonable explanation as to why children diagnosed with ADHD also encounter social problems at school. A viable strategy for prevent social impairments in children with high ADHD symptomology may be helping them learn how to control aggressive behaviors towards peers.

description: Background: In ancient time, the existence of castles has been considered a factor of stability and power of governments and the construction of these buildings has been one of the measures taken by kings for expanding the scope of their influence and power. In Islamic descriptions, castles have had a special standing. In most cases, Islamic historians have attributed their date of construction and name of constructors to mythological era and considered them to be the most important after altars. Although the main reasons for the construction of these buildings by kings have been less mentioned, it can be said that, considering their main functions, these buildings have been constructed by mythological or historical heroes and kings with a defensive and protective purpose. Objective: we want to explain Ancient Intracity Castles of Iran. Results: Among the main reasons for the construction of these buildings by the constructors is protection from themselves and their subordinates against all life hazards, such as natural disasters and particularly the attack of enemies and wars. In most descriptions of historians, the name of these castles has been widely known by the name of wars. In these descriptions, other functions of these buildings considering their spatial domains have been mentioned in addition to their main function. On this basis, it can be mentioned that the construction of castles in some ancient historical cities has had other functions than protection for kings, including power and wealth demonstration, treasury stock, safe place for coins and guns, and food warehouse for the time of difficult situations and siege of enemies. Conclusion: This research seeks to show the position of ancient historical castles based on the historical data obtained from works of historians in Islamic period using descriptive and analytical method

description: A low initial peak crushing force or a high crushing force efficiency of a vehicle crashworthy structure are desirable to minimise the occupants’ injury during a vehicle crushing deceleration. The aim of this study is to reduce the initial peak crushing and increase the energy dissipation of square CFRP tubes and aluminium sheet-wrapped square CFRP tubes. Manufactured platens with cutting blades were employed as new external trigger and energy dissipated mechanisms. These platens with cutting blades were specially designed to simultaneously cut and crush CFRP tubes to reduce the initial peak crushing force and achieve stable mixed deformation modes (cutting and progressive crushing). The results of tubes cut and crushed by platens with blades are compared with those of tubes crushed by only flat platens. It was found that CFRP tubes or aluminium sheet-wrapped CFRP tubes cut and crushed by platens with blades have a low peak crushing force, a high crushing force efficiency and a large mean crushing force and a high energy absorption compared with those for tubes under only crushing by flat loading platens.

description: Abstract: This paper will be examined the presence of the United States of military bases in the Middle East in terms of the existence of huge oil reserves in the region. The argument of this paper is based on this fact that one reason of the presence of the United States in the Middle East is due to the dependence of the country to the huge oil reserves in the region. The presence of the military bases of the United States of America in the Middle East is considered one of the most important issues in the field of International Relations. The country is seeking to perpetuate and increase of their military bases considering the existence of the high cost of presence. The purpose of this study is seeking to study of one of the factors of the presence, namely, the existence of the huge oil reserves in the region.

 Le manuscrit n’ayant encore jamais fait l’objet d’une édition intégrale, il mérite une édition et une étude per se, à laquelle nous ne prétendons pas avoir abouti. En effet, le temps imparti à l’exercice a interdit l’établissement d’une édition critique incluant les variantes des différents témoins et l’apparat des sources.
 Un état des lieux du signalement, de la numérisation et de l’édition numérique à la BnF est proposé en regard d’un panorama plus général de l’édition des manuscrits mexicains (précolombiens et coloniaux) à l’ère numérique, dans une dimension historique.
 En outre, ce travail a été l’occasion d’effectuer quelques mises au point qui ont paru nécessaires en vue de situer les différentes étapes du chantier d’édition. Ainsi, un focus est proposé sur la question de l’encodage des glyphes ou logogrammes pictographiques mésoaméricains ainsi que sur le traitement (description et indexation) des illustrations selon les normes, l’EAD et la TEI. Par ailleurs un aparté sur l’histoire du catalogage des manuscrits nous a paru devoir être proposé pour nous éclairer quant aux choix mis en oeuvre par l’un et l’autre des langages.

description: Semi-analytic models (SAMs) are one of the most effective tools for exploring the physics of galaxy evolution. The computational efficiency of SAMs make them an ideal candidate to use to explore the multi-dimensional parameter space of galaxy formation models, in combination with Bayesian techniques. This work utilises Particle Swarm Optimisation on SHARK, an open-source SAM, to compare the results of the models to a set of observables and identify the best-fit parameter set.
Dust attenuation in NGC7793
Creators: name: Salas, Héctor
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Dust can greatly alter the light emitted by galaxies, causing galaxies to become redder and dimmer. The different tracers that we can use to estimate the fundamental physical properties of galaxies are affected by this, making dust a mayor and direct impediment to our attempts to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. To overcome this, major efforts have been undertaken to develop new methods to correct the panchromatic emission of galaxies for the presence of dust. Key to this is the attenuation (and extinction) curve. Unfortunately, in recent years evidence has been accumulating that attenuation curves may not be as universal as we once thought, with variations not only between but also within galaxies. However it still remains unclear what drives the variation of attenuation curves. In this work we will leverage the state-of-the-art CIGALE modeling code to characterize the attenuation law of NGC 7793 and its variation within the galaxy by combining multi-wavelength broadband data from the UV to FIR, with hydrogen lines observed with MUSE.
Faint Dwarf Galaxy Survey of Nearby Groups Based on the KMTNet Supernova Program
Creators: name: Park, Hong Soo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We will introduce the faint dwarf galaxy survey of nearby groups using the deep-wide images from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). We are carrying out a systematic study of dwarf galaxies in nearby galaxy groups using data from the KMTNet Supernova Program (KSP). The KSP is a program to search for supernovae and optical transients using three identical 1.6m telescopes with wide field CCD camera, 2deg by 2deg, located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO, Chile), the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO, South Africa), and the Siding Spring Observatory (SSO, Australia). When several hundred KSP images in each field are stacked, the program provides deep BVI images reaching a sensitivite of about 28 mag/arcsec^2. The KSP dwarf galaxy survey investigates the properties of group dwarf galaxies down to a total absolute magnitude M_V=−10 mag using multiband (BVI) imaging. Our survey area covers non-bulge seasons, 22^h < R.A. < 24^h and 0^h < R.A. < 14^h for Decl.< 0deg. Our target fields usually have a main galaxy that is brighter than M_V=−20 mag and relatively nearby, D<20 Mpc. Normally, we observe two fields for each targeted group, and this results in coverage where the maximum projected radial distance from the group main galaxy is roughly >0.5Mpc. Our aims are to (1) identify new faint dwarf galaxies, (2) identify any cases with unusual structures (e.g., nucleated dwarf galaxies, UDGs, star clusters), and (3) uncover how group properties relate to the properties of the satellite population, such as the spatial distribution and LF. We already reported our discovery and analysis of ∼100 dwarf galaxy candidates toward NGC 2784 group and NGC 3585 group (Park et al. 2017,2019). The eventual complete survey from the KSP data will provide homogeneous results that can be compared for >30 nearby groups up to at least 2023.

Roles, players and adaptable organizations

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Role is a commonly used concept in software development, but a concept with divergent definitions. This paper discusses the characteristics of roles in software organizations, and contrasts such organization roles with other player-centric conceptions. Roles in organizations have their own identity and do not depend on role players for their existence. In software terms, such roles are first-class runtime entities rather than just design concepts. We define characteristic properties of both roles and players in organizational contexts, and show how the boundary between a role and its player varies depending on the level of autonomy the player is allowed. We show how roles can facilitate the separation of structure from process facilitating greater adaptivity in software. The problem of preservation of state in role-based organizations is also discussed. Possible implementation strategies for both roles and players are discussed and illustrated with various role-oriented approaches to building software organizations.

The molecular gas and dust content in 'typical' star-forming galaxies at z = 1.46 & 2.23 as revealed by ALMA

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: We show ALMA observations to 'typical' H-alpha star-forming galaxies at z=1.46 and 2.23 selected from the High-z Emission Line Survey (HiZELS). The galaxies have previously got AO-assisted H-alpha observations with SINFONI at ~0.2" (~1kpc) resolution revealing thick rotating disks presenting massive clumps of star-formation. Using ALMA Band-3 we observe large and massive reservoirs of cold molecular gas with masses which are usually ~2-3 times larger than that seen in stars, more extended, and show smooth radial profiles without significant clumpy structures (as those seen by SINFONI). One galaxy is resolved in CO(2-1) at 0.2" resolution revealing that both phases of the ISM, ionised an molecular, have similar rotation velocity and velocity dispersion at ~100km/s levels. We observe a flat rotation curve up to 2x its half-light radius, so assuming a thick rotating disk we can put constraints on its dynamical mass (~1.5*10^11Mo) and dark-matter fraction (f_DM~0.6). Even though HiZELS galaxies cover a wide parameter space in terms of gas content, their integrated properties still follow the Schmidt-Kennicutt law, similarly to `normal' galaxies seen in the local Universe. Using ALMA Band-7 we derive the H-alpha dust-corrected star-formation rates, finding that these galaxies fall in the so-called `long-lasting mode' of star-formation which could continue up to the present day at that fixed SFR.

description: Incorporation of legume residues in soil is a low cost option for improving soil fertility, but its effectiveness
depends on residue quality. A study was conducted for two seasons (2007 and 2008) to determine the
decomposition and nutrient release rates of butter bean, grasspea, common bean and chickpea residues. Chopped
legume residues were placed in 2 mm nylon mesh bags and incubated in the soil at a depth of 15 cm. Dry matter
weights and composition of residues were determined before incubation and thereafter fortnightly until the 14th
week after incubation. Chickpea residues had significantly higher initial % lignin and lignin/nitrogen ratio than
butter bean, grasspea and common bean residues. All studied legume residues had similar levels of cellulose, C/N
ratio, N, C, P, K, and Ca. Nitrogen concentrations were above the critical values (18-22 g/kg) for net N
mineralization in all the legumes whereas P concentrations were below the critical value (2.5 g/kg) for net P
mineralization in chickpea and common bean. Dry matter and nutrient (N, P, K, Mg and Ca) disappearance rates
of chickpea residues were significantly lower than for grasspea, butter bean and common bean. Grasspea residues
had higher dry matter disappearance rates than other legumes’ residues. Grasspea and butter bean residues had
significantly higher nutrient disappearance rates than common bean residues. Nutrient loss from all the residues
was in the order K > P > N > Mg > Ca. Butter bean and grasspea crop residues have potential of providing soil N, P,
K and Mg in the cold semi-arid region within a growing season.

description: Among the most pressing problems in galaxy formation and evolution is to understand how gas accretion and feedback influence the evolution of galaxies. In order to determine how galaxies evolve, we need to have a firm understanding of structure, kinematic and evolution of circumgalactic medium, where the competition between regulating process between galaxies and intergalactic medium is played out. We have combined quasar-absorbers systems information from JHU- SDSS Metal Absorption line Catalogue and Pan-Starrs survey photometry in five g,r,i,z,y broad-band to construct a large and comprehensive database of galaxy-absorber pairs to study the contribution of MgII metal absorption line features with galaxies' CGMs as a function of redshift and impact parameter.

description: In this study a method of flow-assisted automated solid-phase microextraction (FA-SPME) was developed for the determination of organic pollutants in aqueous samples. A CTC Combi-PAL autosampler coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to automate the entire extraction process. In this method, the SPME fibre was exposed to 100 mL of sample in a direct immersion mode for 10 min. After exposure, the fibre was desorbed at the injection port of GC–MS. To demonstrate the applicability of FA-SPME, chloroethers were selected as model compounds. Good linear correlation was found over a concentration range of 0.5–100 µg/L. The detection limits of the method were determined between 0.02 and 0.05 µg/L with the coefficients of determination (R2) from 0.9980 to 0.9996. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the FA-SPME for three sequential FA-SPME analyses were determined to be in the range between 1.2% and 6.2% (n = 3). The applicability of the method was assessed by means of recovery studies and satisfactory values for all compounds were obtained. This optimised method was used in the analysis of water and human urine samples to show the matrix effect on FA-SPME. This FA-SPME/GC–MS is substantially faster and suitable for the routine continuous flow-mode environmental monitoring applications.

description: The Galaxy is the galaxy that can be studied in most detail. Wide area spectroscopic surveys play a key role in disentangling and thus understanding the formation history of the Milky Way. I will present how current large scale surveys like RAVE and SDSS have shed light on the structure of the Milky Way and what the prospects of future surveys will be, in particular the combination of Gaia astrometry with 4MOST spectroscopy.

description: This is a 'living document' which attempts to provide some introduction to the use of fatty acids in aquatic sciences. Aaron Galloway wrote the initial draft and invited Mike Brett (a previous advisor and current collaborator) to add his perspectives. We both get a fair amount of email communication from people asking questions about getting started with fatty acids in their research. We enjoy such communications; we also see that there is a need for a general ‘nuts and bolts’ intro for ecologists who are getting started with fatty acids, written (hopefully) without all of the intimidating jargon which one finds in the scientific papers. This document addresses many of the initial questions that people ask when they contact us. We'll update it as new questions come in or revelations are made. Please provide feedback!

Neutral gas around massive star explosions, the beacons of star formation through cosmic time
Creators: name: Arabsalmani, Maryam
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Massive star explosions, such as Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe), are located in hearts of star-forming regions. Their highly luminous emission out-shine their star forming host galaxies, pinpointing them back to the cosmic dawn, independent of galaxy luminosity. This contrasts with even the deepest flux-limited galaxy surveys in which faint galaxies will be missed. Their host galaxies therefore provide excellent laboratories for studying star formation from redshift ~0 up to the highest redshifts. Although the link between GRBs/SLSNe and massive stars is well established, the physical conditions for the formation of their progenitors remain speculative. A likely hypothesis is that they form in regions with high star formation rate density and high gas surface density. I will present our studies of atomic/molecular gas in the host galaxies of nearby GRBs/SLNe, and show that GRBs/SLSNe are indeed located in regions where massive star clusters are expected to form. In particular, I will focus on three galaxies studied based on ALMA and GMRT observations. Our findings in three cases support the connection between massive star explosions and dense environments. Such a connection being commonplace not only will underpin attempts to use GRBs/SLSNe to probe galaxy evolution, but also will put strong constrains on the channels for the formation of the massive progenitor stars of these bright explosions.
Supporting virtual organisation alliances with relative workflows

description: Driven by the fast changing service demand-and-supply requirements, virtual organisation alliances are created to adapt highly dynamic B2B collaborations. However, the temporary partnership and low trustiness between collaborating organisations raise challenges to effectively manage collaborative business processes. This paper presents an approach on the basis of a service oriented relative workflow model to support virtual organisation alliances. This approach takes an organisation centred design method and deploys a visibility mechanism to provide a finer granularity of authority control at contracting and collaboration design phases. The open contracting and inter-organisational collaboration design in a virtual organisation alliance are particularly addressed and discussed in this paper.
Simulations at the Dwarf Scale: From Violent Dwarfs at Cosmic Dawn and Cosmic Noon to Quiet Discs today

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Dwarf galaxies with stellar masses of 10^9 Msun can be explored at high and low redshifts and they give a glimpse of the different conditions of star formation and galaxy evolution at different epochs. Using a large sample of about 300 zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation I will briefly describe the formation of dwarfs at this mass scale at 3 different epochs: cosmic dawn, cosmic noon, and today. I will describe the FirstLight simulations of first galaxies at redshifts 5-15. These clumpy dwarfs have extremely high star formation efficiencies due to high gas fractions and high gas accretion rates. At cosmic noon, z = 2, galaxy formation is a violent process. The VELA simulations have generated a set of dispersion-dominated dwarfs that show an elongated morphology due to their prolate dark-matter halos. Between z =1-0, the AGORA simulation shows the formation of a low-mass disc due to slow gas accretion.

description: Исследование посвящено анализу влияния уровня гликированного гемоглобина (HbA1c) и инсулинорезистентности на прогноз и эффективность лечения пациентов с диабетом 2-го типа. Повышенный уровень HbA1c и высокая инсулинорезистентность указывают на тяжёлое течение заболевания и сложность достижения стабильного контроля гликемии. В работе рассмотрены данные, подтверждающие, что снижение HbA1c и улучшение чувствительности к инсулину ведут к улучшению прогноза и эффективности лечения. Результаты подчёркивают необходимость постоянного мониторинга этих показателей для достижения оптимальных результатов терапии и снижения риска осложнений у пациентов с диабетом 2 типа.

description: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A7 plays a crucial role in the biotransformation of the metabolized endogenous and exogenous steroids. To compare the metabolic capabilities of CYP3A7–ligands complexes, three endogenous ligands were selected, namely dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), estrone, and estradiol. In this study, a three-dimensional model of CYP3A7 was constructed by homology modeling using the crystal structure of CYP3A4 as the template and refined by molecular dynamics simulation (MD). The docking method was adopted, combined with MD simulation and the molecular mechanics generalized born surface area method, to probe the ligand selectivity of CYP3A7. These results demonstrate that DHEA has the highest binding affinity, and the results of the binding free energy were in accordance with the experimental conclusion that estrone is better than estradiol. Moreover, several key residues responsible for substrate specificity were identified on the enzyme. Arg372 may be the most important residue due to the low interaction energies and the existence of hydrogen bond with DHEA throughout simulation. In addition, a cluster of Phe residues provides a hydrophobic environment to stabilize ligands. This study provides insights into the structural features of CYP3A7, which could contribute to further understanding of related protein structures and dynamics.
Galaxies in different group relaxedness state

description: We study the stellar and gas kinematics of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in dynamically relaxed and unrelaxed galaxy groups in the SAMI and GAMA surveys. We characterize the dynamical state of the groups using the luminosity gap and the BGG offset from the luminosity centroid of the group. We find evidence for a higher degree of alignment in the gas and stellar velocity maps residing in BGGs of relaxed groups compared to those in unrelaxed galaxy groups, which could be a result of a reduced number of recent galaxy mergers in relaxed or dynamically evolved groups. We find a higher fraction of slow and regular - rotator BGGs in relaxed systems compared to in unrelaxed systems noting that the BGG offset from luminosity centroid appears to have a stronger contribution to the difference than the luminosity gap. The different dynamical states of the groups seem to have clear impacts on the internal gas and stellar dynamics of their group BGGs, which we believe is originated their merger histories.
Mapping out the dying phase of radio-loud AGN.

description: Since their discovery in 1987, dying radio galaxies have been notoriously difficult to detect and, as such, challenge how we interpret the evolution of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). Distinguished from regular radio galaxies by the inactivity at the centre of their host galaxies, they are often referred to as remnants as their large-scale emission will remain visible for approximately 10-100 Myr after the AGN has switched off. Due to the difficulty associated with their detection and classification, fewer than fifty remnants exist within the literature. Consequently, sample studies of remnants are almost non-existent. This presents an obstacle for understanding the evolution of radio-loud AGN. Remnants encode properties such as the AGN duty cycle and the dynamical evolution of radio-loud AGN, both of which can only be inferred through sample studies of the radio galaxy population. In this talk I will present some early outcomes from a unique multi-wavelength approach performed in the GAMA 23 field. I will present an early estimate of the remnant AGN fraction in a flux-limited space and discuss what this implies about AGN evolution. I will discuss some of the emerging difficulties associated with classifying a true remnant, with potential implications on whether these objects ever truly turn off. Additionally I will discuss our future plans associated with the GAMA 23 field, and how studying remnants as a function of their radio-luminosity, redshift, and host-galaxy mass will shed new light on the evolution of radio-loud AGN.
