description: Introduction: Bike library systems (BLS) are present in several cities around the world. These systems have been implemented as policies to promote physical activity and health, and to reduce, among others, traffic congestion and air pollution. The implementation of BLS could facilitate the use of bicycle in countries like New Zealand, where the proportion of adolescents using cycling as a mode of transport is quite low. This study examined the correlates of the intention to use a BLS in a sample of New Zealand adolescents living in different settlement types. Methods: Adolescents (n = 2355; age: 13–18 years) from 23 secondary schools in the Otago region, New Zealand participated in this study. Participants completed an online questionnaire reporting their sociodemographic characteristics, transport to school, an interest in BLS and perceptions of cycling in general and cycling to school. Data were examined using multiple linear regression. Results: Overall, 17.1% of adolescents stated that they would use a BLS if it was available in their area. In the regression model, positive correlates of the intention to use a BLS were participant’s age, adolescents liking bicycle riding for recreational purposes, cycling often with friends, and cycling to school being perceived as interesting/pleasant/stimulating and a great way to get some exercise (all p < 0.01). Negative correlates were male gender and having two or more bicycles at home (all p ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: Different sociodemographic, individual and interpersonal factors were identified as significant correlates of the adolescents’ intention to use a BLS. These findings can be used to assist in designing more effective interventions to promote bicycle use among adolescents based on the BLS implementation.

The adsorption of vapours onto a mercury surface.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The literature reports widely varying adsorption isotherms for the adsorption of the members of the R-OH series on mercury, where R = H,CH3,C2H5,C3H7. By following the variation in the height of the sessile drop of mercury this research investigates the adsorption of members of the series R-OD where R = D,CH3,C2H5,C3H 7 . Deuteration of the -OH group produces the following effects: 1. All the surface pressure TT vs vapour pressure p isotherms are (a) displaced-to lower surface pressures indicating a weaker adsorption, (b) less convex or initially concave to the it axis suggesting reduced adsorbent-adsorbate interaction relative to the adsorbate-adsorbate molecule interaction for the R-OD series. 2. Produces films which are more condensed. 3. Lowers the heat of adsorption by 5 k cal mole -1or more. L. Produces more stable reproducible films. The area per molecule determined for the adsorbed monolayer film agrees with the value calculated for a molecule lying flat on the surface. The adsorption behaviour of the R-OD series is dcminated by the increased and stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the deuterated adsorbate as compared to the undeuterated species.

description: For both f(R) theories of gravity with an independent symmetric connection (no torsion), usually referred to as Palatini f(R) gravity theories, and for f(R) theories of gravity with torsion but no non-metricity, called U4 theories, it has been shown that the independent connection can actually be eliminated algebraically, as long as this connection does not couple to matter. Remarkably, the outcome in both case is the same theory, which is dynamically equivalent with an ω_0=-3/2 Brans--Dicke theory. It is shown here that even for the most general case of an independent connection with both non-metricity and torsion one arrives at exactly the same theory as in the more restricted cases. This generalizes the previous results and explains why assuming that either the torsion or the the non-metricity vanishes ultimately leads to the same theory. It also demonstrates that f(R) actions cannot support an independent connection which carries dynamical degrees of freedom, irrespectively of how general this connection is, at least as long as there is no connection-matter coupling.

title: The Emotional Effects of Injury on Female Collegiate Gymnasts
Creators: name: Albert, Nancy J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The purpose of this study was to examine affective changes which result from injury in female collegiate gymnasts, using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) instrument (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971 ).
Twelve female gymnasts, comprising the Utah State University gymnastics team, completed the POMS twice per month for four months during their 1986-87 competitive season . A comparison group of 12 non-athlete female college students, matched with the gymnasts by age, year in school, and major, completed the POMS on the same schedule as the gymnasts. Injury was defined as orthopedic damage to the gymnast's body as a result of participation in gymnastics, another sport-related activity, or a non-sport-related accident, which forced the gymnast to miss one week of gymnastics practice or one competitive event.
Pre- and post-injury POMS profiles were analyzed by visual inspection. Of the four gymnasts who sustained injuries during the season, two exhibited significant POMS profile changes. One gymnast who did not participate during the 1986-87 season, due to an injury sustained the previous year, produced POMS profiles which fluctuated in anticipation of, and in response to, her visits to physicians treating her injury.
Comparisons using 1 tests of POMS factor scores of the non-injured gymnasts with those of the non-athlete college students indicated no significant differences between the two groups. Visual comparisons were conducted to ascertain if non-injured gymnasts' POMS profiles were similar to the "iceberg" profile found by Morgan (1979) in his study of elite athletes. Thirty-six percent of the gymnasts' POMS profiles had the iceberg configuration, as compared to 20 percent of the non-athletes' profiles.
Since three of the five (60 percent) of the injured gymnasts in this study had significant changes in POMS factor scores, the hypothesis that injury can produce substantial affective changes in female collegiate gymnasts was supported . Additional research should be conducted to replicate and extend these results and to explore options for optimal treatment of injured athletes. Further comparisons between POMS profiles of both injured and healthy elite, professional, and collegiate athletes is recommended.

description: Urban activities have profound and lasting effects on the global carbon balance. Here we develop a consistent metabolic approach that combines two complementary carbon accounts, the physical carbon balance and the fossil fuel-derived gaseous carbon footprint, to track carbon coming into, being added to urban stocks, and eventually leaving the city. We find that over 88% of the physical carbon in 16 global cities is imported from outside their urban boundaries, and this outsourcing of carbon is notably amplified by virtual emissions from upstream activities that contribute 33–68% to their total carbon inflows. While 13–33% of the carbon appropriated by cities is immediately combusted and released as CO2, between 8 and 24% is stored in durable household goods or becomes part of other urban stocks. Inventorying carbon consumed and stored for urban metabolism should be given more credit for the role it can play in stabilizing future global climate.
X-Ray Absorption Analysis of MCG-6-30-15: Discerning Three Kinematic Systems

description: By analyzing the X-ray spectrum of MCG-6-30-15 obtained with the HETG spectrometer on board the Chandra Observatory, we identify three kinematically distinct absorption systems; two outflow components intrinsic to MCG-6-30-15, and one local at z = 0. The slow outflow at -100 +/- 50 km s^-1 has a large range of ionization manifested by absorption from 24 different charge states of Fe, which enables a detailed reconstruction of the absorption measure distribution (AMD). This AMD spans five orders of magnitude in ionization parameter: -1.5 < log xi < 3.5 (cgs units), with a total column density of N_H = (5.3 +/- 0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2. The fast outflow at -1900 +/- 150 km s^-1 has a well defined ionization parameter with log xi = 3.82 +/- 0.03 (cgs units) and column density N_H = 8.1 +/- 0.7 x 10^22 cm^-2. Assuming this component is a thin, uniform, spherical shell, it can be estimated to lie within 11 light days of the \agn center. The third component, most clearly detected in the lower oxygen charge states O^+1 - O^+6, has been confused in the past with the fast outflow, but is identified here with local gas z = 0 and a total column density N_H of a few 10^20 cm^-2. Finally, we exploit the excellent spectral resolution of the HETGS and use the present spectrum to determine the rest-frame wavelengths of oxygen inner-shell lines that were previously uncertain.

title: Maternal, Obstetric, and Neonatal Correlates of Short-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Newborn Infants With Intraventricular Hemorrhage
Creators: name: Elghammer, Richard
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The attempt to identify risk factors or correlates of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has been constrained by conflicting research findings, changing hypotheses about the etiology of IVH, and by the exceedingly complex nature of this neurological disorder. In addition, few studies have investigated the possibility that antenatal factors might predispose the infant to IVH. Thus, research aimed at identifying IVH correlates from all time periods in which stress could occur to the neonate needs to be undertaken. This study was conducted for the purpose of identifying and quantifying correlates of IVH by constructing an interactive statistical model to predict the occurrence, severity, and onset of IVH.
The study sample was composed of inborn neonates admitted to the University of Utah Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from July 1985 to June 1987. Ultrasound brain scans were used to assigned 150 infants into two groups of equal numbers: an IVH group and a nonIVH group. Forty-three maternal, 17 obstetric, and 35 neonatal variables were collected from the infants' and infants' mothers' medical records and included demographic, medical, and behavioral data.
The mean birthweights and gestational ages for the IVH and non-IVH groups were 1413 g, 29.9 weeks, and 1573 g 31.3 weeks, respectively. Factors found to be associated with IVH were neonatal hypotension, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, lower hematocrit percent, pulmonary interstitial emphysema, severe respiratory distress syndrome, shorter gestational ages, lower 5-minute Apgar score, pneumothorax, shorter umbilical cord lengths, and lower maternal hemoglobin concentrations. No obstetric factors were found to be related to IVH.
A second-order, interactive model used to predict IVH occurrence and severity explained 90.9% of the total variability. The attempt to predict the onset time of IVH was unsuccessful. While the condition of the neonate immediately following birth is the best predictor of IVH, maternal or antenatal factors may interact to contribute to the development of this neurological disorder.

description: A synthetic approach toward the synthesis of vindoline (3) and a reinvestigation of the total synthesis of vincaminoridine (4) and epivincaminoridine (4a) is described. The synthetic sequence involves alkylation with benzyl chloride of the monosodium salt of propane-l,3-diol to give y-benzyloxypropanol (197). Treatment of 197 with thionyl chloride afforded benzyl-y-chloropropyl ether (198). Alkylation of ethyl diethyl malonate with 198 provided diethyl Y~DenzyloxyProPyletnyl malonate (134). Basic hydrolysis of 134 gave y-benzyloxypropylethyl malonic acid (199), which upon decarboxylation provided 2-(y-benzyloxypropyl)-butanoic acid (200). The monoacid (200) was esterified with ethanol to provide ethyl tx-(y-benzyloxypropyl)-butanoate (135). Alkylation of 135 with allyl bromide gave ethyl-a-(y-benzyloxypropyl)-a-allyl-butanoate (201), which upon treatment with osmium tetroxide and sodium periodate gave ethyl a(y-benzyloxypropyl)-a-(a-formylmethyl)-butanoate (140). Condensation of 140 with 6-methoxy tryptamine afforded the tetracyclic lactam (150) . Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the latter, followed by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group gave two isomeric tetracyclic alcohols (204) . These intermediates were converted via their mesylate derivatives to the quaternary salts (205), which upon treatment with potassium cyanide gave the isomeric cyanides (216). Acid hydrolysis of 216 gave the corresponding carbomethoxy derivative (151). Alkylation of 151 with methyl iodide provided dl-vincaminoridine (4) and dl-epivincaminoridine (4a) . Transannular cyclization of the latter substances gave the pentacyclic aspidosperma-type system (195) . The degradation sequence involved acid hydrolysis of vindoline (3) to provide desacetyl vindoline (224), which upon catalytic hydrogenation gave desacetyldihydrovindoline (225) . Pyrolysis of 225 afforded the ketone (86), which upon treatment with dimethyl carbonate provided the g-ketoester (226) . Treatment of the sodium enolate of 226 with oxygen-hydrogen peroxide gave the hydroxy ketoester (227). Treatment of desacetyldihydrovindoline (225) with N,N-thiocarbonyldiimidazole gave the thiocarbonate derivative (230), which upon desulfurization with Raney nickel afforded the unsaturated ester (231) . Catalytic hydrogenation of 231 gave the saturated ester (232) , which upon treatment with lithium diisopropyl amide and oxygen-hydrogen peroxide provided the hydroxyester (234). The saturated ester 232 was converted to the alcohol derivative (237) by reduction with aluminum hydride. Oppenauer oxidation of 237 gave the aldehyde (238). Finally potassium permanganate oxidation of the unsaturated ester (231) gave 5-membered lactam (240), 6-membered lactam (241), N -formyl-5-membered lactam (242), ct and NQ-formyl-6-membered lactam (243) .

description: Magnetic fields are at the heart of the observed stellar activity in late-type stars, and they are presumably generated by a dynamo mechanism at the interface layer between the radiative and the convective stellar regions. Since dynamo models are based on the interaction between differential rotation and convective motions, the introduction of rotation in the ATON 2.3 stellar code allows for explorations regarding a physically consistent treatment of magnetic effects in stellar structure and evolution, even though there are formidable mathematical and numerical challenges involved. As examples, we present theoretical estimates for both the local (tau_c) and global (tau_g) convective turnover times for rotating pre-main sequence solar-type stars, based on up-to-date input physics for stellar models. Our theoretical predictions are compared with the previous ones available in the literature. In addition, we investigate the dependence of the convective turnover time on convection regimes, the presence of rotation and atmospheric treatment. Those estimates, this quantities can be used to calculate the Rossby number, Ro, which is related to the magnetic activity strength in dynamo theories and, at least for main-sequence stars, shows an observational correlation with stellar activity. More important, they can also contribute for testing stellar models against observations. Our theoretical values of tau_c, tau_g and Ro qualitatively agree with those published by Kim & Demarque (1996). By increasing the convection efficiency, tau_g decreases for a given mass. FST models show still lower values. The presence of rotation shifts tau_g towards slightly higher values when compared with non-rotating models. The use of non-gray boundary conditions in the models yields values of tau_g smaller than in the gray approximation.

description: MetaSat is an open metadata toolkit for describing small satellite (and even large satellite) missions in a uniform and shareable way. Optimised for small satellite missions, MetaSat fills an informatics gap. Although there have been a number of relevant metadata sets, there has been a longstanding need for a vocabulary to span these community standards. A vocabulary to annotate the data and information outputs of these satellite missions, to enable search across disparate data repositories, and provide support for application of analytical services to retrieved datasets. A common problem among small satellite teams is finding information about how other small satellites were put together, what parts worked well, what weren't compatible, what were the mission goals and outcomes. A lot of this information can be found, but it's not usually described in a consistent and searchable way across projects. MetaSat helps by building a uniform language of description which can be embedded into small satellite databases and tools to connect information across projects. Although a relatively new vocabulary initiative, MetaSat has secured early adoption by SatNOGS, a global network of ground stations that collects, manages & enables access to satellite observations. Also partnering with NASA's Small Satellite Reliability Initiative, and in discussion with NASA concerning implementation of the vocabulary in other areas of its information infrastructure.

description: We have carried out a blind HI survey using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope to make an inventory of objects with small HI masses (between 10^6 and 10^8 Msol) and to constrain the low-mass end of the HI mass function. The survey has been conducted in a part of the volume containing the nearby Canes Venatici groups of galaxies. The surveyed region covers an area on the sky of about 86 square degrees and a range in velocity from about -450 to about 1330 km/s. We find 70 sources in the survey by applying an automated searching algorithm. Two of the detections have not been catalogued previously, but they can be assigned an optical counterpart, based on visual inspection of the second generation Digital Sky Survey images. Only one of the HI detections is without an optical counterpart. This object is detected in the vicinity of NGC4822 and it has been already detected in previous HI studies. Nineteen of the objects have been detected for the first time in the 21-cm emission line in this survey. The distribution of the HI properties of our detections confirms our ability to find low mass objects. 86% of the detections have profile widths less than 130 km/s and can be considered dwarf galaxy candidates. The HI fluxes measured imply that this survey goes about 10 times deeper than any previous blind HI survey. The HI mass function and the optical properties of the detected sources will be discussed in future papers.

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: The Paris Climate Agreement aims to keep temperature rise well below 2 °C. This implies mitigation costs as well as avoided climate damages. Here we show that independent of the normative assumptions of inequality aversion and time preferences, the agreement constitutes the economically optimal policy pathway for the century. To this end we consistently incorporate a damage-cost curve reproducing the observed relation between temperature and economic growth into the integrated assessment model DICE. We thus provide an inter-temporally optimizing cost-benefit analysis of this century’s climate problem. We account for uncertainties regarding the damage curve, climate sensitivity, socioeconomic future, and mitigation costs. The resulting optimal temperature is robust as can be understood from the generic temperature-dependence of the mitigation costs and the level of damages inferred from the observed temperature-growth relationship. Our results show that the politically motivated Paris Climate Agreement also represents the economically favourable pathway, if carried out properly.

Manifolds and Noise Pipes: Dimensional Collapse in Living and Frozen Representational Systems
Creators: name: Todd, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: We propose a theoretical framework modeling complex systems as interconnected hyperdimensional

manifolds linked by “noise pipes”—channels that transmit continuous field information. The Noise

Pipe Capacity (NPC) quantifies how effectively these channels preserve dimensional complexity

during transmission. Drawing on recent advances in representational geometry, we integrate the

Canonical Representation Hypothesis (CRH) and Polynomial Alignment Hypothesis (PAH) to deepen

our understanding of how representational structures flatten, align, or distort.

We advance a bold claim: artificial intelligence fundamentally differs from biological

intelligence in that it constitutes a frozen copy of a living system—with static, optimized

manifolds rather than adaptive, self-reshaping representational spaces. This distinction extends

beyond technical implementation to philosophical and psychological implications, explaining not

only AI brittleness but also human experiences ranging from creativity to suffering. Intelligence is

not merely about having complex representations but about maintaining the continuous motion of

these representations—the ongoing, dynamic reshaping of manifolds in response to experience. This

framework offers both a unifying explanation for dimensional collapse across domains and a roadmap

for designing systems that remain alive to complexity—systems that think not just in structure, but

in motion.

title: The Effects of Prey Vulnerability, Density, and Patch Replenishment in an Operant Analogue of Foraging
Creators: name: DeWulf, Michael James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Foraging behavior has recently become a popular area of research with which ethologists, behavioral ecologists, and experimental psychologists converge their traditionally separate disciplines into a more multidisciplinary framework. Ethologists and behavioral ecologists usually study foraging as it occurs in the natural environment or the "field," while experimental psychologists contrive laboratory simulations of foraging and make the assumption, sometimes incorrectly, that generalization occurs across settings, situations, and species. Scientific advances are now beginning to occur in the ability of laboratory researchers to better simulate foraging as it occurs in the field. Field researchers are also becoming more willing to accept these findings as important. The purpose of this dissertation was to use a laboratory analogue of foraging behavior to examine the effects of prey vulnerability, density, and prey-patch replenishment on the number of prey rejections and switches between patches. This analogue may have more biological validity than previous simulations in the operant laboratory by simulating conditions of replenishing and depleting patches under adjusting (progressive and regressive) random-ratio schedules of reinforcement.
Three experiments were conducted. The first examined the effects of response-cost on acceptability of prey items offered. Results indicated that as the cost of obtaining one prey item increased while the cost of another was held constant, subjects consistently pursued the lower-cost prey and rejected higher-cost prey at increasing probability ratios of 1:3, 1:10, and 1:15. The second experiment covaried response cost (vulnerability) with the probability of encounter (density) for two prey types and evaluated their effects on the acceptability of prey. This experiment showed that when the density of the low-cost prey increased (p = .66), the subjects were more selective. Subjects were less selective when the density of the low-cost prey decreased (p = .33). In the third experiment, prey patches were replenished at reinforcer-determined (regressive random ratio) baseline rates and compared to several fixed-time schedules of patch replenishment. Results of Experiment III indicated no major differences in patch use behaviors (number of switches between patches). The validity and utility of this simulation was discussed as a useful model for the experimental analysis of foraging behavior.
Approaches to Antarctic solid waste management logistics : past, present, potential
Creators: name: Potter, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Past and present solid waste management practices in Antarctica, and the local impacts of waste, are described. The provisions of Annex III of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol) are reviewed, in particular the requirement to remove waste from Antarctica and clean up past waste disposal sites and abandoned infrastructure. It is noted that the language used in the Protocol, and the absence of clearly defined environmental standards for the region, make examination of the compliance of signatories problematic. Australian, French, Russian, Chinese and Japanese program policy and operations in East Antarctica are discussed. Issues related to the on-site processing, containment and shipment of waste are considered in an Integrated Solid Waste Management System framework. Particular reference is made to the differing demands presented by the erection and demolition of facilities, the handling of annually generated and principally non-hazardous domestic waste, and the clean up of abandoned, and often contaminated, sites. A lack of sufficiently-detailed, reliable and consistently-described data on the composition and production of waste, the volumes accumulated, and the effects and efficiency of Antarctic operations, currently hinders strategic planning. Nevertheless it is suggested that a collaborative approach to the removal of waste from coastal sites between 30¬¨‚àûE (Syowa station) and 140¬¨‚àûE (Dumont d'Urville) is logistically feasible and attractive on environmental, practical and economic grounds. Australia is appropriately positioned, geographically and in the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), to take a lead role in promoting and implementing a coordinated, regional approach. Concomitantly it is argued that ATCPs need to give greater attention to philosophical and theoretical issues related to operating in Antarctica, the debate involving enquiry beyond that associated with scientific objectivity and analysis. Similarly, establishing the means by which the participation of stakeholders outside the ATS can be enhanced, requires urgent consideration.
