description: We present the analysis of Ref.[1] of the radial (n) and angular-momentum (J) Regge trajectories for all light-quark meson states listed in the Particle Data Tables. The parameters of the trajectories are obtained with linear regression, with weight of each resonance inversely proportional to its half-width squared, (Γ/2)^2. The joint analysis in the (n,J,M^2) Regge plane indicates, at the 4.5 standard deviation level, that the slopes in n are larger from the slopes in J. Thus no strict universality of slopes occurs in the light non-strange meson sector. We also extend our analysis to the kaon sector.

title: River and coastal marine habitat use and the continuum of migration strategies by brown trout (Salmo trutta) smolts from the River Dee (Aberdeenshire)
Creators: name: Archer, Jonathan Alan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Brown trout (Salmo trutta) exhibit a continuum of migration strategies variety of ranging from the extremes of river-residency through to anadromy. As a result, various terms have been created to describe these strategies which has led to a confusion of their uses. This study provided further clarity to the various terms used for describing Salmo trutta migration strategies. Changes in salinity between habitats and Strahler stream order was chosen as a method to define the boundaries between due to their biological significance. A practical framework of terms for future studies was created, within this a freshwater resident remains in water with a salinity of less that 0.05ppt, Semi-anadromous fish migrate into water with a salinity of 0.05-30ppt and anadromous trout migrate into waters with salinities >30ppt. If future studies adopt the proposed framework this will enable better comparison and communication within scientific literature with regards to Salmo trutta. Few studies have investigated Salmo trutta migration strategies, and habitat use within a modified coastal plain estuary, that opens into an unconstrained sandy bottom marine habitat. This study investigated the migration strategies, and habitat use of 79 Salmo trutta smolts within the River Dee (Aberdeenshire) in 2018-2019. The Salmo trutta smolts exhibited a continuum of well-established migration strategies which included potamodromous (n=9), semianadromous (n=18) and anadromous (n=22) life histories. Anadromous smolts also exhibited a variety of behaviours, including: estuary staging, returning early to the estuary and repeat migrations between the sea and estuary. Semi-anadromous and anadromous smolts spent considerable time in the estuary (median 2.53 days IQR 0.35-19.56 days). However, most of this time was spend in the river mouth (median 1.32 days, IQR 0.17-11.9 days) than within the harbour (medium 6.72 hours, IQR 2.88 minutes to 2.23 days). This study showed the estuary and coastal areas are critical for the early migration of the River Dee’s Salmo trutta smolts.
title: Delineation of Landslide Slip Surfaces Using Ground Penetrating Radar as Compared and Contrasted with Existing Slip Surface Data: Evaluation of GPR for Landslide Slip Surface Determination
Creators: name: Hutchinson, Michael E.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2003

description:
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) was used to investigate two landslides within the South Puget Sound region to evaluate if this technology could be used to delineate slip surface location. The internal structures of two landslides with similar stratigraphic and geographic settings in the South Puget Sound Region were evaluated using GPR. For the two landslides studied, results of prior geologic and geotechnical work identified the location and extent of each landslide slip surface. Longitudinal and latitudinal GPR transects were completed on each landslide mass to map subsurface radar reflection amplitudes (radargrams) and times. To convert radar travel times to depths, radar velocities were determined using common midpoint surveys. GPR data were compared to previously collected geotechnical data characterizing the landslide mass using known techniques. Results show a correlation between landslide slip surface location and high amplitude reflectors displayed on radargrams on a landslide mass consisting predominantly of sands and gravels providing optimum radar penetration. The GPR technique was not successful on the landslide mass with higher silt content, which resulted in a larger degree of radar wave attenuation.
title: The End of the World (EOTW) Scientist and the Framing of Science in Science Fiction Films from 1950 to 2010
Creators: name: Lui, Jennifer Naoko
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The current study looks at scientists in End of the World (EOTW) films spanning from 1950 to 2010 through stereotypes and gender roles. Eighteen films, 12 representing EOTW films and 6 that are considered "regular" science fiction films, were analyzed in terms of Goffman's (1976) 6 aspects, first introduced in Gender Advertisements, as well as aspects of visual and textual frame analysis. The analysis of these films provided a way to look at the portrayal of scientists in EOTW films and add to the limited body of literature on this particular sub-genre of film.
Previous research identified that scientists were portrayed as predominantly Caucasian males, typically older, and stereotyped as Mad Scientists, Nutty Professors or Absent-Minded Scientists, or Heroic Scientists. The representation of these scientists was supported, along with additional findings that scientists in EOTW films were often not identified as main characters in the films and the female scientists that were portrayed were often characterized with predominantly masculine traits. In comparison, "regular" science fiction films represented scientists in almost identical ways. A trend in all films analyzed showed that in more recent years, female scientists have begun playing a larger role in science fiction films and although they are being portrayed as main characters, the masculine traits still remain, showing that the gender roles and stereotypes that are traditionally employed are still there, however, the greater presence of female scientists in more prominent roles could have a positive influence on females who are potentially interested in scientific careers.
A Latent Variable Approach to Gaussian Process Modeling with Qualitative and Quantitative Factors

description: Computer simulations often involve both qualitative and numerical inputs. Existing Gaussian process (GP) methods for handling this mainly assume a different response surface for each combination of levels of the qualitative factors and relate them via a multi-response cross-covariance matrix. We introduce a substantially different approach that maps each qualitative factor to underlying numerical latent variables (LVs), with the mapped values estimated similarly to the other correlation parameters, and then uses any standard GP covariance function for numerical variables. This provides a parsimonious GP parameterization that treats qualitative factors the same as numerical variables and views them as affecting the response via similar physical mechanisms. This has strong physical justification, as the effects of a qualitative factor in any physics-based simulation model must always be due to some underlying numerical variables. Even when the underlying variables are many, sufficient dimension reduction arguments imply that their effects can be represented by a low-dimensional LV. This conjecture is supported by the superior predictive performance observed across a variety of examples. Moreover, the mapped LVs provide substantial insight into the nature and effects of the qualitative factors. Supplementary materials for the paper are available online.
Soft contribution to $B\to γ\ell ν_\ell$ and the $B$-meson distribution amplitude

description: The $B\to γ\ell ν_\ell$ decay at large energies of the photon receives a numerically important soft-overlap contribution which is formally of the next-to-leading order in the expansion in the inverse photon energy. We point out that this contribution can be calculated within the framework of heavy-quark expansion and soft-collinear effective theory, making use of dispersion relations and quark-hadron duality. The soft-overlap contribution is obtained in a full analogy with the similar contribution to the $γ^* γ\to π$ transition form factor. This result strengthens the case for using the $B\to γ\ell ν_\ell$ decay to constrain the $B$-meson distribution amplitude and determine its most important parameter, the inverse moment $λ_B$.

description: Fully energy-filtered X-ray photoelectron emission microscopy is used to analyze the spatial distribution of the silicon sub-oxide structure at the SiO2/Si interface as a function of underlying doping pattern. Using a spectroscopic pixel-by-pixel curve fitting analysis, we obtain the sub-oxide binding energy and intensity distributions over the full field of view. Binding energy maps for each oxidation state are obtained with a spatial resolution of 120 nm. Within the framework of a five-layer model, the experimental data are used to obtain quantitative maps of the sub-oxide layer thickness and also their spatial distribution over the p-n junctions. Variations in the sub-oxide thicknesses are found to be linked to the level and type of doping. The procedure, which takes into account instrumental artefacts, enables the quantitative analysis of the full 3D dataset.

description: High-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopic observations of single hot white dwarfs are scarce. With the Chandra Low-Energy Transmission Grating, we have observed two white dwarfs, one is of spectral type DA (LB 1919) and the other is a non-DA of spectral type PG1159 (PG 1520+525). The spectra of both stars are analyzed, together with an archival Chandra spectrum of another DA white dwarf (GD 246). The soft X-ray spectra of the two DA white dwarfs are investigated in order to study the effect of gravitational settling and radiative levitation of metals in their photospheres. LB 1919 is of interest because it has a significantly lower metallicity than DAs with otherwise similar atmospheric parameters. GD 246 is the only white dwarf known that shows identifiable individual iron lines in the soft X-ray range. For the PG1159 star, a precise effective temperature determination is performed in order to confine the position of the blue edge of the GW Vir instability region in the HRD. (abridged)

description: A demonstration in MS Excel to show how users can connect their spreadsheet models to the external environment that the model represents. We employ indexes to generate a list of relevant evidence that is hyperlinked to the context in which the evidence is discussed. The hyperlinks between the index and the contextual discussion have their own specific presentational identity. We contend that these presentational differences aid the integrity and understanding of complex models. Where models are complex, separate individual results can lead to contradictory conclusions. The demonstration includes a methodology for interpreting the analyses within a workbook and presenting them in the form of a standard written report.

description: The present paper deals with quantization of perfect fluid anisotropic cosmological models. Bianchi type V and IX models are discussed following Schutz's method of expressing fluid velocities in terms of six potentials. The wave functions are found for several examples of equations of state. In one case a complete wave packet could be formed analytically. The initial singularity of a zero proper volume can be avoided in this case, but it is plagued by the usual problem of non-unitarity of anisotropic quantum cosmological models. It is seen that a particular operator ordering alleviates this problem.

title: Characterizing Surface Deformation from 1981 to 2007 on Mount Baker Volcano, Washington
Creators: name: Hodge, Brendan E.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2008

description:
Surface deformation studies at active volcanoes are used to detect changes to magmatic source regions beneath the volcano. At Mount Baker, Washington, continued elevated gas (CO2 and H2S) and heat flux from fumaroles in Sherman Crater indicate the presence of a degassing magma reservoir. Campaign geographic positioning system surveys in 2006 and 2007 provide slope distance measurements of all 19 trilateration lines on Mount Baker. These data are compared with previous slope distance measurements acquired in 1981 and 1983 with electronic distance measurement. The results indicate that surface deformation has occurred on Mount Baker during the last quarter century. Slope distances have predominantly shortened around the edifice at rates of less than 2 mm/yr. The greatest slope length change detected (HDLY-RSVT) is -17 ± 4 ppm on the northern flank of the volcano. A nonlinear least-squares regression fits a uniform surface strain-rate model to the weighted slope change data. The strain model results indicate contractional strain accumulation on Mount Baker with an areal dilation rate of -420 ± 140 nanostrain/yr. The observed strain-rate is distinctly different, by at least an order of magnitude, than the expected regional secular strain-rate from tectonic sources.

Elastic dislocation models are used to invert for the location, and strength of a point source at depth. The inversion uses a discrete grid search to find the global minimum of the residuals from a nonlinear least squares algorithm. The optimal model predicts a volume change of -11 x 106 m3, located 1500 meters east-northeast of the summit at a depth of 5.4 km (MSL). However, the global minimum in not well defined, resulting in a wide range of suitable source parameters. The model can account for much of the deformation detected, indicating that a spherical source model is appropriate, at least to a first order, for modeling physical changes to the magmatic or hydrothermal system at Mount Baker. These results suggest that the magmatic and hydrothermal system at Mount Baker has depressurized, likely from the combined result of cooling, mass loss, and/or densification, since 1981. This study also provides a new baseline for precise geodetic study of ongoing quiescent degassing at Mount Baker.

description: We present Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) and follow-up Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI observations of the gas-rich interacting group NGC 3166/9. The sensitive ALFALFA data provide a complete census of HI-bearing systems in the group while the high-resolution GMRT data elucidate their origin, enabling one of the first unbiased physical studies of gas-rich dwarf companions and the subsequent identification of second generation, tidal dwarf galaxies in a nearby group. The ALFALFA maps reveal an extended HI envelope around the NGC 3166/9 group core, which we mosaic at higher resolution using six GMRT pointings spanning ~1 square degree. A thorough search of the GMRT datacube reveals eight low-mass objects with gas masses ranging from 4x10^7 to 3x10^8 M_sol and total dynamical masses up to 1.4x10^9 M_sol. A comparison of the HI fluxes measured from the GMRT data to those measured in the ALFALFA data suggests that a significant fraction (~60%) of the HI is smoothly distributed on scales greater than an arcminute (~7 kpc at the NGC 3166/9 distance). We compute stellar masses and star formation rates for the eight low-mass GMRT detections, using ancillary SDSS and GALEX data, and use these values to constrain their origin. Most of the detections are likely to be either pre-existing dwarf irregular galaxies or short-lived, tidally formed knots; however, one candidate, AGC 208457, is clearly associated with a tidal tail extending below NGC 3166, exhibits a dynamical to gas mass ratio close to unity and has a stellar content and star formation rate that are broadly consistent with both simulated as well as candidate tidal dwarf galaxies from the literature. Our observations therefore strongly suggest that AGC 208457 is a tidal dwarf galaxy.

title: The Influence of Tier Level of Hotel Loyalty Programs on Guest Perceptions and Tolerance for Service Quality
Creators: name: Choi, Eunjin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: This study examined the impact of hotel loyalty program membership and tier levels on guest perceptions and tolerance for service quality in major U. S. hotel chains. A sample of 315 hotel loyalty program members and non-members were surveyed via an online self-administered survey sent by Qualtrics. The survey used a three-column format asking the adequate level of expectations, desired level of expectations, and perceptions to test survey respondents' zone of tolerance and perceived service quality using SERVQUAL dimensions. Guest satisfaction was measured by American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). A nine-point Likert scale was applied for the measurement of service quality and satisfaction.
From factor analysis, it was shown that the five dimensions of SERVQUAL did not materialize. Two factors of externally versus internally focused items were found for expectations. Externally focused items are those that the general public wants to receive as core service from their preferred hotels. Internally focused items are those that a specific guest wants to receive as extended service from hotels. From multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) with post hoc Scheffé tests, it was revealed that higher tier level members had higher levels of perception and satisfaction and had a narrower zone of tolerance than lower tier level members.

O-R bond rupture

description: This work is Unrestricted Hartree Fock (UHF) quantum mechanical calculations of proton transfer and reaction path of (O-R) bond rupture energies in nine cefpodoxime prodrug derivatives of different substituted organic groups, at their optimize geometries. The calculation included geometrical structure, some of physical properties such as standard heat of formation, dipole moment and total energies, using Gaussian-09 program. Comparison was done between the total energies of the reactants, activation energies, transition states and end products. All the calculations are reported in the vacuum phase. The results showed that some of the substituted organic groups can be used as carrier linkages for the acidic cefpodoxime drug. The calculations revealed that using a quantum mechanics account to assess the organic groups can be substituted in drug derivatives as drug-related carrier groups and used as treatment drugs is a strong possibility.

description: This review sheds light on the catalytic valorisation of agroforestry biomass through levulinic acid and formic acid towards g-valerolactone and other higher-value chemicals. g-Valerolactone is produced by the hydrogenation of levulinic acid, which can be achieved through an internal hydrogen transfer reaction with formic acid in the presence of catalyst. By reviewing corresponding catalysts, the paper underlines the most efficient steps constituting an integrated sustainable process that eliminates the need for external H2 sources while producing biofuels as an alternative energy source. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the role of catalysts in the hydrogenation of levulinic acid, with special focus on heterogeneous catalysts. The authors highlighted the dual role of different catalysts by comparing their activity, morphology, electronic structure, synergetic relation between support and doped species, as well as their deactivation and recyclability. Acknowledging the need for green and sustainable H2 production, the review extends to cover the role of photo catalysis in dissociating H2-donor solvents for reducing levulinic acid into g-valerolactone under mild temperatures. To wrap up, the critical discussion presented enables readers to hone their knowledge about different schools and emphasizes research gaps emerging from experimental work. The review concludes with a comprehensive table summarizing the recent catalysts reported between the years 2017–2021.

description: We directly observe longitudinal electromagnetic fields in focused freely propagating terahertz beams of radial and linear polarization. In accordance with theory, the longitudinal fields are phase shifted by a value of pi/2 with respect to the transverse field components. This behavior is found for all frequency components of single cycle THz radiation pulses. Additionally we show that the longitudinal field of a radially polarized THz beam has a smaller spot size as compared to the transverse field of a linearly polarized beam, that is focused under the same conditions.

description: The configuration of a beam submerged in liquid can offer many advantages in engineering applications by providing an ability to generate alternative propulsion systems. These are achieved via travelling waves that propagate through the beam and, interacting with the surrounding fluid, generate thrust. Numerous concepts and implementations have been proposed differing in general arrangements that lead to different structural and fluid characteristics. Understanding the characteristics and limitations of travelling waves on the beam can provide advantages toward more effective and efficient actuations. The aim of this thesis is to provide insight into the mechanisms that allow structural travelling waves induced through electromagnetic actuation to interact with the surrounding fluid. This study would contribute to the development of controllable devices capable of self-propulsion. In this thesis, the dynamic behaviours of a cantilever beam submerged in a fluid is approximated by simplifying fluid effects with hydrodynamic forces. Accordingly, the Galerkin-based model for fluid structure interaction can be derived and solved with a linear approximation method. This technique allows to investigate the vibration patterns of the beam under hydrodynamic loads that can be used to provide an assessment into factors affecting modal parameters and influencing the generation of travelling waves. Advanced experimental techniques using Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) in conjunction with numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models are used to provide a thorough and systematic characterisation of the fluid-structure interactions that constitute the fundamental of the correlation between structural travelling waves and thrust generated by a beam submerged in a viscous fluid. The discussion is expanded to consider the potential use of an additional mechanical element in attempting to improve features that promote travelling waves and large beam displacements without necessarily inducing high input power in a contactless actuation system.

description: A description of the space of G-connections using the tangent groupoid is given. As the tangent groupoid parameter is away from zero, the G-connections act as convolution operators on a Hilbert space. The gauge action is examined in the tangent groupoid description of the G-connections. Tetrads are formulated as Dirac type operators. The connection variables and tetrad variables in Ashtekar's gravity are presented as operators on a Hilbert space.

description: In supernova spectroscopy relatively little attention has been given to the properties of optically thick spectral lines in epochs following the photosphere's recession. Most treatments and analyses of post-photospheric optical spectra of supernovae assume that forbidden-line emission comprises most if not all spectral features. However, evidence exists which suggests that some spectra exhibit line profiles formed via optically thick resonance-scattering even months or years after the supernova explosion. To explore this possibility we present a geometrical approach to supernova spectrum formation based on the "Elementary Supernova" model, wherein we investigate the characteristics of resonance-scattering in optically thick lines while replacing the photosphere with a transparent central core emitting non-blackbody continuum radiation, akin to the optical continuum provided by decaying 56Co formed during the explosion. We develop the mathematical framework necessary for solving the radiative transfer equation under these conditions, and calculate spectra for both isolated and blended lines. Our comparisons with analogous results from the Elementary Supernova code SYNOW reveal several marked differences in line formation. Most notably, resonance lines in these conditions form P Cygni-like profiles, but the emission peaks and absorption troughs shift redward and blueward, respectively, from the line's rest wavelength by a significant amount, despite the spherically symmetric distribution of the line optical depth in the ejecta. These properties and others that we find in this work could lead to misidentification of lines or misattribution of properties of line-forming material at post-photospheric times in supernova optical spectra.

description: The epidemiologic correlation between the poor prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vitamin D deficiency has been observed worldwide, however, their molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we used combined molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy analyses to investigate the potentials of vitamin D3 and its hydroxyderivatives as TMPRSS2 inhibitor and to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), as well as to unveil molecular and structural basis of 1,25(OH)2D3 capability to inhibit ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 RBD interactions. The results show that vitamin D3 and its hydroxyderivatives are favorable to bind active site of TMPRSS2 and the binding site(s) between ACE2 and SARS-CoV2-RBD, which indicate that vitamin D3 and its biologically active hydroxyderivatives can serve as TMPRSS2 inhibitor and can inhibit ACE2 binding of SARS-CoV-2 RBD to prevent SARS-CoV-2 entry. Interaction of 1,25(OH)2D3 with SARS-CoV-2 RBD and ACE2 resulted in the conformation and dynamical motion changes of the binding surfaces between SARS-CoV-2 RBD and ACE2 to interrupt the binding of SARS-CoV-2 RBD with ACE2. The interaction of 1,25(OH)2D3 with TMPRSS2 also caused the conformational and dynamical motion changes of TMPRSS2, which could affect TMPRSS2 to prime SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins. Our results propose that vitamin D3 and its biologically active hydroxyderivatives are promising drugs or adjuvants in the treatment of COVID-19. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: While several computational methods have been developed to predict the functional relevance of phosphorylation sites, experimental analysis of the interdependency between protein phosphorylation and Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) remains challenging. Here, we describe an experimental strategy to establish interdependencies between protein phosphorylation and complex formation. This strategy is based on three main steps: (i) systematically charting the phosphorylation landscape of a target protein; (ii) assigning distinct proteoforms of the target protein to different protein complexes by native complex separation (AP-BNPAGE) and protein correlation profiling; and (iii) analyzing proteoforms and complexes in cells lacking regulators of the target protein. We applied this strategy to YAP1, a transcriptional co-activator for the control of organ size and tissue homeostasis that is highly phosphorylated and among the most connected proteins in human cells. We identified multiple YAP1 phosphosites associated with distinct complexes and inferred how both are controlled by Hippo pathway members. We detected a PTPN14/LATS1/YAP1 complex and suggest a model how PTPN14 inhibits YAP1 via augmenting WW domain-dependent complex formation and phosphorylation by LATS1/2.

description: Putting the recently adopted global Sustainable Development Goals or the Paris Agreement on international climate policy into action will require careful policy choices. Appropriately informing decision-makers about longer-term, wicked policy issues remains a considerable challenge for the scientific community. Typically, these vital policy issues are highly uncertain, value-laden and disputed, and affect multiple temporal and spatial scales, governance levels, policy fields, and socioeconomic contexts simultaneously. In light of this, science-policy interfaces should help facilitate learning processes and open deliberation among all actors involved about potentially acceptable policy pathways. For this purpose, science-policy interfaces must strive to foster some enabling conditions: (1) “representation” in terms of engaging with diverse stakeholders (including experts) and acknowledging divergent viewpoints; (2) “empowerment” of underrepresented societal groups by co-developing and integrating policy scenarios that reflect their specific knowledge systems and worldviews; (3) “capacity building” regarding methods and skills for integration and synthesis, as well as through the provision of knowledge synthesis about the policy solution space; and (4) “spaces for deliberation”, facilitating direct interaction between different stakeholders, including governments and scientists. We argue that integrated, multi-stakeholder, scientific assessment processes—particularly the collaborative assessments of policy alternatives and their various implications—offer potential advantages in this regard, compared with alternatives for bridging scientific expertise and public policy. This article is part of a collection on scientific advice to governments.
